When talking about the Kingdom of Xinhua, Amal couldn't help laughing, because the top leaders of the Ottoman Empire knew very well about this small country built on his sphere of influence, but because he was too clear, he couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard the name of this country.

First of all, this country called Kingdom has not even a king. So far, it has been determined who is the king. If that were the only one, it would be fine. Without a king's kingdom, the empire took care of all affairs for it, used all resources and connections to win the recognition of all neighbors for this country.

For example, the Cossack Republic, established in the Caucasus region, was the first to recognize the Kingdom of Xinhua, the Ukrainian Federation was the second, and the Portuguese Kingdom was the third.

Originally, after the Ottomans and the Empire were demarcated on the Arabian Peninsula, the Ottoman Empire also wanted to join in the fun and recognize the Kingdom of Xinhua. But it soon discovered that it seemed that just by acknowledging this country and establishing diplomatic relations with it, we could obtain some bargaining chips from the Empire.

The first person to do this was another neighbor of the Xinhua Kingdom, the Sassanian Persian Empire.

Now that Persia has recognized the Kingdom of New China, the empire has compromised with Persia on the crucial issue of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, which makes the Ottoman Empire feel profitable.

Another ridiculous thing is that there is no citizen in the country of Xinhua Kingdom. The indigenous people living on that land have been cleaned up and only the people of imperial nationality can enter. But the problem is that almost no one goes to the barren land.

So far, there is no national in the Kingdom of Xinhua.

The third place that was ridiculed by the Kingdom of Xinhua is its territory.

The area of ​​this kingdom reached 1.8 million square kilometers, including the entire Bahrain, Qatar, most of the UAE and Saudi Arabia, and part of Oman and Yemen. In fact, in the early days of the establishment of the Kingdom of Xinhua, the imperial royal family was just preparing to take over Qatar and its surrounding land and islands, and it would be enough to have a hundred thousand square kilometers. After all, it would take legal action to get the ownership of this land. The more you get, the greater the resistance you encounter within the empire.

But no one expected that there was no obstacle in the transactions in this territory. On the contrary, it was called a model of imperial diplomacy.

The reason is that the current Indian emperor spent money, and although the king of the Xinhua Kingdom wanted to find one from the King Yu lineage, his name was the asset of the Indian Supreme Emperor. India's throne inheritance once caused an uproar in the empire. Li Zhaogui was forced to abdicate, but he maintained everyone's decency.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows the power of it and is worried that this inheritance of the throne will affect the relationship between the two countries. However, the establishment of the Xinhua Kingdom was packaged as a model of cooperation between the two countries. India paid money, China sent land to establish a new country. This country belonged to the former Prince of the Empire, the current Emperor of India, and the future belonged to a son of the Empire King Yu. It sounded so close and respectful, harmonious and beautiful.

After discovering that there is not much internal and external resistance, Emperor Li Junhua simply made it bigger. After all, this is something that my father and younger brother believe is beneficial to the family.

Speaking of which, the land on the Arabian Peninsula was called barren land in this era, with deserts everywhere, and there were still legends of cruel horse thieves in the depths. In addition, the religious environment here once and now around is really unbearable in the eyes of the imperial rulers class. After re-planning the territory, the Kingdom of Xinhua completely wrapped up the directly governed area of ​​the Empire's Ministry of Overseas Affairs on the Arabian Peninsula.

Geographically, this land is no longer threatened by surrounding forces, so it has the basic conditions for establishing a new overseas province.

The Ottoman Empire once tried to exchange some benefits from the empire by recognizing the Xinhua Kingdom, but it felt that it could not be exchanged for any decent benefits, and even said that it could not be exchanged for nothing.

Because the motion to enter the League of Nations has entered, the Ottoman Empire needs the support of the League of Nations in the League of Nations and cannot object to this issue. Since this country has entered the League of Nations, it is easy to establish diplomatic relations between the two countries. All we have to do is replace the border demarcation treaty signed with the Empire with the version of the Kingdom of New China.

"This matter is actually very easy to deal with. As long as there is a king in the Kingdom of Xinhua, even if it is a baby, I can handle diplomatic relations." Amar said.

Shaojie nodded slightly and said, "Your attitude is very good. I believe Your Highness Rong will like it. That king must be a child of Your Highness Yu, a kingdom without a citizen and a barren land in the whole country. He cannot be respected in the Ottoman Empire, but the descendants of King Yu are the reasons why he must be respected."

Amar said sadly: "Shaojie, even if there is no today's conversation, I need to visit Xijin at the right time. Although I did not take the matter of Xinhua Kingdom to heart, after your reminder, I have paid attention to this matter. But I hope you can understand that in my talks with His Highness Rong, the matter of Xinhua Kingdom is just an appetizing dessert, and the real hard-to-chew bones are behind."

Shaojie agreed with this statement. The Ottoman Empire had to accept the fact that the empire already had most of the Arabian Peninsula. It was just to reassign the territory originally assigned to the empire to the kingdom of Xinhua. The Ottoman Empire would not lose anything.

"You are talking about the Caucasus conflict, right?" Shaojie said.

Amar nodded: "This is a hurdle that cannot be overcome. In the past few decades, the Caucasus problem has always been an unresolved knot between your country and our country, and it seems to be getting tighter and tighter."

The Caucasus issue existed when the Empire and the Ottoman Empire formally established diplomatic relations and strategic cooperation. It was even said that it was created by the Empire.

Before King Yu's expedition to the west and conquered the North Caucasus, the competition in the Caucasus was between the Ottoman Empire and Persia. Both sides each wooed and supported the tribes in the mountains and fought for each other, and the war never stopped.

However, with King Yu's expedition to the west, the empire's power officially entered the Caucasus, and everything changed. First of all, during the Four Kingdoms War, the Crimean Khanate was destroyed. It was a disaster for King Yu to attack the Ottoman Great Vizier, but Li Junwei had a vision to protect the Ottoman army.

The Ottoman Expedition was only a failure, and its main army was not damaged at all. In fact, not only did it not lose much army, but it was even strengthened, because under the intentional arrangement of King Yu, the Tatar cavalry of the Crimean Khanate were able to escape and defect to the Ottoman Empire.

For a long time, this cavalry had fought low-intensity wars with Poland and Russia in the Southern Russia region to maintain the territory of the Ottoman Empire. Until the Holy Alliance War, the Ottoman expedition to Vienna failed and the Tatar cavalry suffered a lot.

Later, the army was sent to the Caucasus to fight the rise of pagans there.

The rise of Orthodox Church in the Caucasus region was also the strategic plan of the empire.

From the beginning, the empire restrained its expansion ambitions and fixed the expansion boundary of the Caucasus region on the ridge line of the Greater Caucasus Mountain. The southern part of the mountain had nothing to do with the empire. Just to seize the Baku oil field that could eject from the well, the empire continued to push some southward on the side of the Caspian Sea.

Before the empire arrived, some mountain people who believed in the Tianfang Sect lived in the mountains of the North Caucasus, such as the Chechens. The plains a little north were the territory of Kuban Cossacks. Li Junwei recovered the Cossacks and asked him to clean up the fertile land north of the Greater Caucasus Mountains for the empire. As a reward, in addition to giving titles and arms, he was authorized to explore the south.

During the empire's reform of foreign vassals, most of the Cossacks of the empire chose to maintain their own land and tyrants, and maintain the old system of personal dependence. Therefore, they were forced to leave the empire and go to the south of the Greater Caucasus Mountains to merge with the local pioneering Cossacks, and eventually the Cossacks of the aristocratic republic.

The Cossacks are the most comprehensive colonial master, mastering all the skills required for colonial development and adapting to all terrain environments. This is well-known in the imperial military, and the Cossacks' army often serves the empire. With its own abilities and the blessing of the empire's advanced weapons and equipment, the valley between the Greater Caucasus Mountain and the Little Caucasus Mountain was almost completely conquered by the Cossack Republic. When crossing the Little Caucasus Mountain, it touched the core area of ​​the Ottoman Empire.

The homeless Tatars were sent to that direction by the Ottoman Empire and continued to guard the borders for the Ottoman Empire. The lackeys of the two major powers fought extremely fiercely in the Caucasus Mountains.

The two countries also tried to solve this problem, but the problem was that the Tatars and the Cossacks were important to the countries behind them.

The Tatars were born cavalry, which protected the northeastern frontier for the Ottoman Empire and reduced the military investment of the Ottoman Empire in that direction. The Tatars were also an important cavalry force. Once a war broke out with the Austrian Empire, the Tatar cavalry would inevitably play an important role.

But the Cossacks were equally important to the empire. Under Li Su's command, there was a Cossack regiment called it, which was almost a permanent army among the mercenaries to which the empire belonged.

The empire once had three major foreign corpses, and the most powerful one was naturally the African Volunteer Army that African development companies could provide. The second was the Cossacks and the Ukrainian regiment. However, now that the Ukrainian Federation was established, the Ukrainian regiment has been completely transformed into the regular army of the Ukrainian Federation, making the Cossacks the only permanent foreign corps in the empire.

The Cossack Regiment was headquartered in the Cossack Republic, and its posts were provided by the real nobles. Only when needed, the Empire sent a colonel or above officer as its commander. The Cossack Regiment had three battalions, each with one thousand people, and three battalions were stationed in the Atlantic City, Ceuta and the Cossack Republic.

In the foreign military of the empire, the Cossacks have always had a high status, especially in North America, which is an important military force in the fiefdom of North America.

In diplomacy, the Cossack Republic was also the white glove of the empire, especially in the Spanish war of succession to the throne. It was the Cossack Republic that declared war on Spain before the empire and seized Gibraltar, which gave the empire the advantage, that is, to ensure that this strategic location was not occupied by Britain and the Netherlands, and to allow the empire to calmly choose the opportunity to join the war.

The Empire and the Ottoman have always wanted to solve this problem, but the fact is that the person who tied the bell needs to untie the bell, but the person who tied the bell may not be able to untie the bell.

King Yu Li Junwei's layout in the Caucasus was completely in the geostrategic strategy of the empire, which was to allow a force that could not integrate with the Tianfang Cult civilization to act as a buffer zone between the empire and the Ottomans and Persia, so as to prevent the Tianfang Cult forces from taking advantage of the emptiness of Xijin Province to head north.

But when the Cossack Republic was established in the Caucasus mountains, this was not just a simple issue as geopolitics. The main contradiction had been completely transformed into a conflict between religion and nation. The ruler of the Caucasus region was the Cossacks, the Slavic people in terms of national descent, and the Orthodox people in terms of religious beliefs. However, most of the people ruled by it belonged to the Tianfang Cult, and the enemies they faced were also the Tianfang Cult.

The local situation is already very complicated, at least the Cossack Republic is not completely decided by the empire. This country gradually has its own political demands, and it has successively established diplomatic relations with the Ukrainian Federation and Tsarist Russia, and relied on religious and ethnic ties to interact with the two countries and maintain friendship.

In order to reduce Tsarist Russia's influence on it, the empire could only win over the Cossack Republic, so the empire could hardly do the way to compromise the Cossack Republic.

Similarly, the Tatars in the Caucasus area were the same. In the process of guarding the borders for the Ottoman Empire, these Tatar cavalry who had lost their families had their own territory and interests in long-term conquest and war. Although they had always been loyal to the Ottoman Empire, they were not completely merciless at their mercy.

At least Amal knew that Istanbul had been unable to call Tatar cavalry after all. If you want to conscription and participate in wars in other directions, you must discuss in advance with the leaders of the Tatars. Once there are too many conscriptions or too heavy taxes, these Tatar cavalry will launch local riots, and some people will even cross the border and defect to the Persian Empire.

Shaojie sighed and said, "Fortunately, we are still young, and the things left by our parents may be tricky, but they may be better handled. For example, this is the case with the Caucasus conflict. Decades of war have made both forces tired.

Both the Cossacks and the Tatar cavalry should have realized that they cannot do anything to each other and cannot conquer each other. Perhaps as long as the empire and your country jointly give a step, they will retreat. And I believe that the first thing to resolve the conflict in the Caucasus is to establish a consensus between our two countries."

Amal nodded slightly and asked, "Will Your Highness Rong be willing?"
