Chapter 970 Situation in West Asia
Spain and the Holy Roman Empire are also relatively satisfied with the results. After removing the threat from France, they can focus on reforms.
The development of Great Britain is getting better and better, and they are all seeing it in their eyes and greedy in their hearts.
After forming an alliance, they can also accelerate the pace of development.
France is also satisfied with the result. In order to compensate and appease France, some places in the north of South America were allocated to them in the meeting, such as Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana and other places.
At the same time, the meeting also recognized France's legal domination over the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and other places.
Having this layer of acknowledgment has many benefits for them to rule these places.
Without this level of recognition, nobles in countries such as the Netherlands and Belgium can form governments in exile in other countries, continue to encourage domestic resistance to France, and look for opportunities for independence.
This kind of government-in-exile can act as a beacon for those unwilling people in the country, making them more difficult to conquer.
Now, other countries in the European Community have recognized France's occupation of these places, so these countries can no longer shelter these people from the government-in-exile, and it will be convenient for France to digest those places.
In short, there are many benefits.
For Sweden, the result was also acceptable.
At least, when Dahua called, they could have more confidence in their hearts.
Because among the seven member states, Great Britain is the strongest.
Therefore, in this European Community, the English occupy the most positions.
And this can also bring many benefits to Great Britain that are not easy to see.
The seven member states have all achieved what they want, but there are also many unsatisfied areas.
The European Union was established, and Persia also came together and wanted to join.
Although their country is still far away from Europe and belongs to Asia.
However, they are also eager to join the European Union and reach a military alliance.
There is no way to do this, Dahua has already increased its troops on their borders, and it seems that they will attack them soon.
Persia knew very well that he could not compete with Dahua by relying on his own strength.
The more powerful Mughal Empire next to it was beaten up and screamed, even the capital was lost, and the kings were fleeing in a hurry. Moreover, it seems that there are not many days to live.
However, Persia's request was ruthlessly rejected by the European Union.
European countries are not stupid. If they accept Persia and reach a military alliance with Persia, they will soon go to war with Dahua, because Dahua's intention to attack Persia is already obvious.
Although the European Union has been established, European countries are still quite afraid of Dahua.
In the spirit of being able to procrastinate for a while, they let the EU fight Dahua as late as possible, so as to have more time for development.
Persia, who was rejected, burst into tears, and could only find the Ottoman Empire. He wanted to reach an alliance with Ottoman and hold a group to keep warm.
After all, the relationship between the two countries can be regarded as a bitter relationship.
Once Dahua occupies Persia, the Ottoman Empire must be next, there is no doubt about this.
But for this simple relationship, the Ottoman Empire seemed to be incomprehensible, and ignored Persia's appeal for an alliance.
At this time, the Ottoman Empire had just ended a feminist era.
In the previous decades, the Ottoman Empire has been in the hands of several empress dowagers.
During this period, Ottoman also turned from prosperity to decline and began to decline.
But just five years ago, a palace coup took place in the Ottoman Empire. The most famous empress dowager Kosem died in the coup.
The empire is weakening, and the new official took office as the Grand Vizier with three fires, and his first task is to revitalize Ottoman.
Only by restoring the former glory of Ottoman can his ruling be convincing and continue to rule.
And what is the glory of Ottoman?
Improve living standards and improve social atmosphere?
These are not as intuitive as expanding the territory. The expansion of the territory is often a manifestation of strength.
Therefore, the Grand Vizier has been preparing for war for the past two years, preparing to invade Holy Rome or Persia, North Africa and other places.
At this time, it is impossible for them to form an alliance with Persia.
As for the mighty Dahua?
The Grand Vizier actually knew something about it, but he had no choice.
If he forms an alliance with Persia at this time, other ministers and people in the country will be dissatisfied.
Because the powerful Ottoman has always conquered opponents by force, how can he form an alliance with the enemy.
Therefore, knowing that forming an alliance is beneficial to the Ottoman Empire, the Grand Vizier cannot do this either. If he does so, he will lose the legitimacy of his ruling.
This kind of example actually has something in common with Chongzhen.
For example, Chongzhen also understood that it was the most correct choice to negotiate peace with the Qing Dynasty, and then try his best to eliminate Li Zicheng and avoid fighting on two fronts.
However, he couldn't do that.
After all, the ancestral precept is not to talk about peace, not to cede land, and not to make peace.
Officials do not support the peace talks, nor does public opinion.
For another example, Chongzhen also understood at that time that the north had been badly harmed by Li Zicheng, and the city of Beijing had always relied on food relief from the south, which cost a lot of money.
The best way is actually to move the capital to Nanjing.
However, because of the ancestral motto of "the son of heaven guards the gate of the country",
This made Chongzhen unable to do so.
Many people in later generations did not understand some of Chongzhen's actions. In fact, there were reasons for him in the context of the time.
Chongzhen must first maintain the legitimacy of his ruling, and then he can think about other things.
Now the grand vizier is similar, knowing that forming an alliance with Persia to fight against the threat of Dahua is the right way. But he just can't do it.
The common people's vision is not so far-sighted, and they don't understand so much, and it is difficult to explain clearly to the common people.
They can only see the present.
In the past, Ottoman did not sign an alliance treaty with the enemy. If the Grand Vizier took the lead in doing so, it would be a waste of authority and humiliation to the country.
Once the people have this idea, the Grand Vizier will not be far from stepping down.
At this time, the Grand Vizier could only find another way out.
For example, when Dahua was attacking Persia, he went up to seize some Persian territory.
At that time, it will naturally receive countless praises.
As for what to do in the future?
This is not something the grand vizier cares about, because at his age, it is estimated that it will only take two or three years to be buried.
In other words, as long as Osman survives these two or three years, his task will be completed. What he left in the history books is only praise. As for the Ottoman Empire being beaten up by Dahua in the future, it will naturally be the fault of future generations.
It is actually quite normal for an eighty-year-old man to be a little selfish before he dies.
