() For their own strength, of course, Hamid I is aware of it, if it is said that the Ottomans and Russia are single-handed, Hamid I does not have the confidence to defeat Russia, after all, in the last few Russo-Turkish wars, each time it ended in the victory of Russia, which cast a shadow on the hearts of many Ottomans.
Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that Hamid I sent an emissary to meet William.
The situation on the Crimean Peninsula, William knew about it.
The rebellion in the Crimean Peninsula seemed to William to be both accidental and inevitable.
Those Russian generals in the Black Sea region are afraid of Paul's thunderous methods and want to raise thieves to gain self-respect, which William can simply call a hole in the fire, after all, the means of raising thieves to protect themselves originated in China, and there are countless examples of this in Chinese history.
And after two disastrous defeats in the Russian-Turkish war, the Ottomans are not willing to admit defeat, which everyone knows, the Ottomans have been supporting the resistance movement in the Crimean Peninsula, and recently they have gathered 200,000 troops in the Black Sea region, so many troops If it is just to prevent the attack of the Russian army, then even the ghosts don't believe this kind of...
It is surprising to say that it must be because sooner or later the Crimean Peninsula will rise again if the Ottomans do not give up revenge, and it is a surprising coincidence to say that it happened to be the timing of this rebellion.
This rebellion can be seen as the work of some Russian nobles and Osman, and although the two sides did not have the same goals, the rebellion was enough to unify the interests of both sides to a certain extent.
The emissary of Hamid I was named Muhad, a veteran diplomat.
Although he had traveled thousands of miles, when Muhard arrived in Potsdam, he immediately asked to see Wilhelm.
After a brief tidying up, Muhad appeared in front of William "Your Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Prussia.
Hello, I am entrusted by His Majesty the Great Sultan Hamid I of the Ottoman Empire to present to you the friendship of our Ottoman Empire!
” As he spoke, Muhad put his hands on his chest and bowed to William, a courtesy that was most solemn and respectful for Ottoman.
William nodded and smiled: "The wisdom of His Majesty the Sultan of your country has been heard of even if he is thousands of miles away, and he is quite fascinated by His Majesty Hamid I of your country.
I just can't have a good time with His Majesty Hamid I."
"Thank you for Your Majesty's kindness, I believe that His Majesty the Sultan will be very moved when he learns of your kindness!"
Muhad said and glanced at William's expression, after seeing that William's expression was still calm.
I saw him hesitate for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, I have come here to shoulder the orders of His Majesty the Sultan, and I hope to have a consultation with you in a relatively secluded environment, I don't know."
"Bold!"
Didn't wait for William to reply.
I saw Buel, the head of the palace waiting on the side, step forward.
He reprimanded Mohard loudly, and under Buel's reprimand, Mohard's expression became a little embarrassed.
"Buel, don't be so rude, it's definitely understandable that Moehard wants to talk to me secretly, so you don't have to be so excited."
"But Your Majesty, what should you do if this Ottoman has ill intentions towards you?"
Hearing Buel say this, Muhad, who was already a little embarrassed.
At this moment, his face turned completely red, and he argued loudly: "You must be Lord Buel, the governor of the Prussian court.
Please rest assured that when you entered this room, you were searched by the royal guards of your country, and you did not carry any weapons, and you were only a helpless official, so it was impossible for you to pose a threat to His Majesty.
In addition, at this moment, we Ottomans and your country have the same enemies and the same demands, so it is absolutely impossible for our side to do something that is happy for our relatives and enemies!
” Even after hearing Muhad say this, Bouel still did not give up his decision, and just as he was still admonishing William, William said: "Buel, you should step aside, since our Ottoman friends have shown their sincerity, then I don't think they will embarrass their friends.
And all of you, let's all leave."
The second half of William's sentence was naturally addressed to the attendants standing in the hall, and there were no less than twenty people in the hall at the moment, some of them were guards and some were maids.
After hearing William's order, the attendants in the hall naturally followed Buel and saluted William before leaving the hall quickly and orderly.
When only William and the messenger named Muhad were left in the room, William smiled and said: "Lord Mohad, I think now you can tell me what you mean, right?"
Muhad saluted again and said: "Your Majesty, thank you for your trust, and now of course I can say that I have come to seek cooperation with Prussia at the behest of His Majesty the Sultan, and to hope to reach some agreement with Prussia on the Russian question!"
"Oh, I wonder what issues His Majesty the Sultan of your country needs to reach an agreement with my country?"
William looked at Mulhard with interest and said knowingly.
"Your Majesty, since you say so, then I have no choice but to make it clear that His Majesty the Sultan of our country hopes that your country will be able to cause some trouble to the Russians in the western territory of Russia, and contain a part of the Russians' jīng force."
As expected, William thought to himself, that it only made sense that he could bother the Sultan to send someone all the way to come.
"So, then, your country has decided to go to war with the Russians?"
William's words directly pointed out the topic, and when he made it like this, Muhad was also a little stunned, he didn't expect William to directly say the word war.
"Well, Your Majesty, you are a smart man, and that's right, our Sultan is preparing a massive jihad against the Russians, a holy war aimed at liberating our suffering Crimean brothers and helping them regain zìyóu" The expression on Muhad's face turned pathetic "Your Majesty, the Russians have not only usurped our land and killed our brothers, but they have even destroyed our faith and deprived all the Crimeans living on the Crimean Peninsula of their rights, which only the most brutal people can do, and now Russia has become the most brutal country in the world.
His Majesty the Sultan believes that all the nations of our civilized world should unite against the evil and tyrannical country of Russia!
” Although Moehard's words were nice, William's heart was full of disdain.
This world was originally a world of the jungle, and even the Ottomans, who now seem to be in decline, were once the hegemons of Europe, and in the 17th century, the Ottomans even besieged Vienna for a time, and the Ottomans were invincible and self-righteous throughout the continent of Europa.
The Ottomans in their heyday had the same blood on their hands as the Russians, and their oppression of Christians was no less than the persecution of serfs by serf owners.

And now, the Ottomans, who once humiliated the Russians, were forced to lose face by the defeat of their subordinates back then, and now they are embarrassed to talk about human rights with themselves, which is simply a big joke.
Of course, these inner monologues, William naturally will not be humane to outsiders.
"Your Excellency Moehard, I admit that what you said is very reasonable, but now we in Prussia are actively pursuing various reforms in our own country, and although I very much hope to be able to stand at the forefront of maintaining the civilized world with your country, I am limited by our strength."
William's expression became tactful, of course, although William said it more tactfully, but Muhad still heard the meaning of William's words clearly.
On the surface, William seemed to have rejected Moehard's offer, but one word was evident in his words.
Strength, so to speak, interests, as Wilhelm said, was limited by Prussia's domestic strength.
On the other hand, it was not that Wilhelm did not want to help, but that Prussia's national power did not allow him to help.
If you really want William to help, it's not impossible, but you have to help Prussia gain the strength to help.
(Okay, please allow me to faint for a while) All in all, William's words can be understood as he wants to get some benefits.
This meaning can be understood by Muhad, but the interests that can make Prussia tempted, to be honest, the Ottomans really did not have much.
Or, even if the Ottomans could take these benefits, they didn't want to take them, because they would feel very painful to cede them.
"Your Majesty, I think you need to understand that the Russians had invaded Prussia in the past, and that nearly ten years ago the Russians had secretly supported the despicable rebellion of some of your own aristocrats.
And after you decisively suppressed the rebellion, those Russians even directly sent troops to interfere in the internal affairs of your country.
Such a country is a completely evil country, in recent decades, Russia has never given up aggression against friendly countries, he has used aggression after aggression, shattered our dream of peaceful coexistence with the Russians, so now it is the turn of the Russians to taste the consequences, he must pay for the shameless behavior of many neighbors in those years!
” What Muhad said was very tempting, but William remained unmoved, and no matter how nice his words were, they were not as important as tangible benefits, which was a rule.
