Under the command of Pasha in Tunisia, there are many hills, all of which are powerful generals with military power. Ali is just the most powerful one, so he became Pasha in Tunisia.

The Bedouin cavalry and those who followed him during the Upper Egyptian period were loyal to his basic foundation. In addition, there were two forces, one was the local tribal chiefs, and the other was the sand mixed with Amal Pasha over the years.

But obviously, the answer given by Tusong did not satisfy Ali. Ali signaled him to continue talking, but Tusong could not think of other forces.

Ali was slightly disappointed. Tusong was his only adult son. He was very military talent and loved in the army. But the only problem was that his political mind was too simple, he could not handle the complex situation, and could not deal with those conspiracies.

"There are some people who will support me, that is the European colonizer." Ali said in his eyes.

An incredible look flashed in Tusong's eyes, but it soon disappeared because he did not dare to object to his father's point of view. Therefore, he could only think carefully and verify it, but after thinking about it, he found that this point of view was correct.

The reason is that Egypt is under the control of Amal, and Amal is definitely an arrogant politician.

Although Lee Myung-hoon's time travel has completely changed the world, the status of the Ottoman Empire has not changed fundamentally, because the relationship between the empire and the Ottoman Empire has always been relatively good. Although there have been conflicts, after the opening of the Suez Canal, the two countries have common strategic interests and common strategic rivals - Europe.

Therefore, the Ottoman Empire was still a powerful country because the benefits brought by the opening of the Suez Canal were even stronger than before. Although Britain and France had undergone political reforms and triggered the industrial revolution, it was not yet time to fully explode. At least in the first decade of the 18th century, the Ottoman Empire was still the second largest power in the world after the Chinese Empire.

Unlike empires that advocate modern equal diplomatic relations, the Ottoman Empire only seeks equality when communicating with the empire, and has various arrogance with other countries. At the League of Nations Conference, the representatives of the Ottoman Empire once believed that the so-called five major powers are equality between the five major powers and are unequal to other countries.

The Ottoman Empire once proposed that the five permanent members of the League of Nations should also be transformed into two permanent members of the upper and three permanent members of the lower. Obviously, the Ottoman believes that they belong to two permanent members of the upper and two permanent members of the empire.

The diplomatic behavior of the Ottoman Empire has improved in recent years, but Amal is still arrogant. In the eyes of the Ottoman powers such as Amal, they have never truly respected European countries. They may have respected France, but they are disdainful of other countries. After the French Revolution, even France was not respected by the absolute power lost by the French king.

The European colonists suffered various tortures in the exchanges between Sinai and Amal. Although Amal cooperated with these colonists out of pragmatism, his attitude did treat the European colonists as paper for rubbing their butts and throw them away after they were used up.

Amal's European policy can be described as freely. The treatment of European merchants in the two provinces of Egypt and Sinai also fluctuated with Amal's mood.

It can be said that with Amar as Pasha, two provinces, European merchants were destined to live a good life there. It was also because the interests of Europeans were often hurt there that Britain and France chose relatively tough policies.

But if Ali served as Pasha in Egypt, it would be completely different. Ali is completely realistic. If you have milk, you are a mother. As long as you create enough benefits for him, it doesn’t matter what you do.

Tusong figured this out, and suddenly asked, "Father, you have always said that the Lord Shaojie is a very smart person. The legendary Prince Yu is no less wise than the arrival of the Lord. Did they figure this out too? If they figure it out, why should they support you in Egypt Pasha?"

Ali smiled and said, "Tusong, do you think Shaojie is just supporting me as a Pasha? If one day I really become Pasha of Egypt, he will definitely instigate me to leave the Ottoman Empire and establish an independent kingdom.

And that is what he really wants, or that is what His Highness Yu wants.”

Tu Song frowned and thought seriously for a while, but he didn't understand this truth.

Ali said: "The Suez Canal is the throat of East-West trade. The Empire has been coveting for a long time. Do you think they are satisfied with using business rights, settlement rights and management rights there? You are wrong. If you have the opportunity to turn Sinai into a province, the Empire will definitely be willing to take risks.

However, it is not possible to take any risk, because the empire is confident enough to seize the Suez Canal, but not sure to seize the Black Sea Strait. Therefore, only if it does not break with the Ottoman Empire will the empire launch an operation to seize the Suez Canal."

Tusong still didn't understand and asked, "Does this have anything to do with your becoming Pasha in Egypt?"

Ali smiled: "Now, the sovereignty of the Suez Canal is not at all controversial, it belongs to the Ottoman Empire. If the empire takes it, it is a direct war with the Ottoman Empire. But if there is an Egyptian independence, the sovereignty of the Suez Canal will be controversial. After all, twenty years ago, there was no so-called Sinai province, and Sinai was completely Egyptian province.

Only when the water is muddy can you catch fish. This is a Chinese saying.”

If Shaojie heard Ali's words, he would definitely be a confidant. Shaojie actually knew very well that if he took a step forward, it would not be enough to rely solely on King Yu's appreciation. What's more, as long as he appears in the center, the people of the empire will definitely re-record his identity as Aisin Gioro, and being a minister in the center of the empire, fame is very important.

The basis of this fame is personal integrity and dedication, but a deeper step is to contribute to the empire.

Even officials from the administrative system should mention their contributions to the local area when they are promoted to the center and into the cabinet. It is not possible to make any contributions without making any contributions.

Shaojie believes that as long as he seized the Suez Canal for the empire, he would inevitably enter the center of the empire. Moreover, it is not that simple. Seizing the Suez Canal is definitely a merit that is famous for its history. At that time, not only will he be a high-ranking official position and a generous salary, but also a great turnaround for the Aisin Jueluo clan and even the Manchu nation.

As Ali said, it is easier to catch fish in a muddy water. Supporting a guy like Ali who is extremely ambitious and extremely selfish is a sure-fire deal. As long as he becomes Pasha of Egypt, one day when the Ottoman Empire cannot tolerate him, Ali will become the king of Egypt.

Tusong said to Ali: "So, Your Excellency Shaojie already knows that you will cooperate with Europeans. But you don't mention it on purpose just to not stop you."

"Yes, so we can get in touch with Europeans," Ali said.

Tusong nodded slightly: "What do you mean is that you agree with Your Excellency Shaojie's plan?"

"I have no reason to disagree." Ali shrugged, looking very relaxed. Tusong was obviously very hesitant. After thinking seriously for a while, he said with a little disappointment: "Father, if you really do that, everything will change now."

Obviously, Tusong couldn't let go of his current luxurious life. However, Ali said: "I do these things for you. In fact, we can't defraud the Empire and the Ottomans and defraud the financial aid for a long time. Sooner or later, we will be seen through. At that time, the Empire will give up on us, and Amal will also find opportunities to replace you, my father and son. What should we do then?"

Tusong knew that if he really came to that point, there would be no other way to preserve his preservation besides separatist and independence. In order to that time, Tunisia would inevitably be bloody.

"Yes, we can only establish our own country and become the master of this land. But Tusson, Tunisia is too small, too small, with hundreds of thousands of people and not rich lands that can only rise as a trade transfer station. But we will have to face the world's strong powers. Not to mention trade transfer stations, even the blockade will be more serious than it is now.

Sooner or later, we will surrender to a powerful country and lose the power and wealth it has. I am already at this age, and this kind of thing will probably fall on you. Are you sure to solve it?" Aliyu said to Tusong earnestly.

Tusong shook his head, Ali nodded, and continued, "So, even if you, my father and son are destined to take their own path, they must choose a powerful and prosperous place. I am an Albanian, but the most colorful day in my life is spending in Egypt, where people see me as a hero who protects Egypt.

Egypt is our only chance, and we must seize it.”

After Ali finished speaking, he looked at Tusong with his hands on his chest. He thought his son would agree, because since the child became an adult, he had been complaining that he had no chance to make achievements, and now, the opportunity has come.

No one knows his son is better than his father. As Ali thought, Tusong immediately agreed. But Tusong still insisted on asking a question and said, "Father, you have not changed anything before Your Excellency Shaojie comes to visit this time. After Your Excellency Shaojie comes, you have changed your original life. I don't believe that he can convince you alone."

Previously, Ali had always enjoyed the power and wealth brought by Pasha in Tunisia, and was in a state of drunkenness and despair. Although he had a better prospect, he had to leave the comfort of Tunisia City. Tusong did not think that his father had awakened just for a bright future.

"Tusong, you will also deal with the Chinese in the future. You must remember my words and don't take yourself too seriously. There are many countries in this world, but they are only divided into two categories, the Chinese Empire and other countries.

In recent years, many countries in Europe have risen, especially after the establishment of the League of Nations, many countries call themselves great powers. But in my opinion, except for empires, other countries are small countries, or they don’t know that they are small countries that mistakenly think they are big powers.

In your eyes, your father is a hero, a hero, and the master of Tunisia, but in the eyes of Shinkyung, we are just a group of monkeys, just the largest among the monkeys.

I promised to start a new cooperation with Shaojie. In addition to believing that it is possible to really win the power of Pasha in Egypt, the most important driving force is fear. We can not kill Shaojie and exchange him for some ransom, but as long as the empire abandons us, our lives and power will also enter the countdown..." Speaking of this, Tusong seemed a little excited.

Ali didn't let Tusong say it, and he said, "I know, you don't think the Empire will send troops to attack us, right?"

Tusong nodded because their cooperation with the empire was secret. Of course, Europeans and the Ottoman Empire knew this secret, but they only knew it less in detail. Even if they were abandoned, they were also ministers of the Ottoman Empire. What would the empire do to him?

Ali continued: "There are many ways for a great power to retaliate against an indigenous country. Direct military strikes are just the simplest and most brutal ways. If one day the empire abandons us, it will betray us, such as selling us to colonists from Europe."

Tusong's eyes widened: "How is this possible, Father. Isn't their purpose of supporting us to fight against European colonists? How could he sell us to Europeans? Isn't this helping Europeans expand?"

Ali smiled slightly: "So, I teach you not to take yourself too seriously. This world is not revolving around you. The confrontation and competition between the empire and Europeans are all over the world. It is not bound by Tunisia, and even North Africa is just one of the battlefields. Both sides have never been in a state of confrontation. They sell Tunisia, but they can trade interests in other parts of the world. Even if they can't trade, they can choose a way of selling, such as letting the two lions in Britain and France fight, which is to hand over the meat of Tunisia to one of them."

Tusong was shocked when he heard this, and he felt that his worldview had been changed.

Ali understood his son's shock. After all, during his growth stage, he was surrounded by flatterers. Although Tusong had contact with people from the empire, most of them were merchants. Merchants were always servile people who were kneeling down and power. The imperial officials Tusong had met were all the same as Shaojie. They had either received professional diplomatic etiquette training, or were carefully selected, learned to respect, and replace arrogance with humility. This is their common characteristic.

The respect from the envoys of a great power often leads to a small person who cannot recognize himself. This is the case with Tusong.
