Li Junwei didn't have to set up traps for these countries. In fact, the development of the empire's naval equipment far surpassed this era. Not to mention the orthodox battleships, the Ottoman did not even have a decent Garen warship. The Ottoman Central Fleet maintained a small scale for a long time and relied on pleading pirates.

According to the Ottoman tradition, the navy never continued to invest and maintain, but instead explosively invested finances to form a huge fleet to respond when war or faced with maritime threats. Then, after the war, the navy fell and waited for the next war, because the main threat of the Ottoman Navy was the Venetian Navy in the Mediterranean, and the Mediterranean was smaller and the environment was much more stable than the Black Sea. Therefore, the Ottoman navy often mainly used sailboats or paddle boats, but the tonnage was huge and equipped with more artillery.

These galleys are useless in the turbulent Black Sea, so the Three Kingdoms Alliance did not make many restrictive requirements. However, what made Li Junwei helpless was that after the "Four-National Black Sea Fleet Restriction Treaty" was passed back to the country, it triggered a public opinion frenzy within the empire, and the imperial subjects all believed that this was a treaty that was powerless and humiliating.

Because the empire was established by the sea, although the empire was established enough and the navy was restricted from development, the imperial navy still suppressed the enemy in various regions. Even in the distant America, the fleet of the American Development Company went south along the Pacific coastline to plunder Spanish port cities as a must-have program. In the sphere of influence of the empire, only the imperial navy restricted the navy of other countries, so how could it be equal to it?

In previous naval treaties, the Japanese were not allowed to build ships with artillery, Guangnan Kingdom was not allowed to build warships with more than twenty artillery guns, Annan Kingdom was not allowed to have three-masted ships, etc. When would the imperial navy be restricted? If this naval treaty had not been for only twenty years, it might have been approved for implementation in the Empire Shin Kyoto.

On the contrary, the Navy's attitude towards this is very interesting. The Navy Commander saw this treaty while preparing for the Black Sea Fleet, and only said a naughty word. Is it really fair to use the number of masts to limit naval ships? Is it really limited the Imperial Navy? How to calculate the steam and sail hybrid sailboats being tested, and how to calculate the full steam-powered sailboat? Is the number of chimneys?

However, the Navy was very concerned about the Black Sea Fleet. This was the first large-scale expansion of the Imperial Navy in 25 years. After confirming its ownership of the Black Sea, the Navy prepared a Black Sea Fleet composed of two third-class battleships, four heavy patrols and two ocean-going supply ships to head to the Black Sea.

After spending most of the earth, Imperial, Portugal, Netherlands and Britain were used along the way. When I arrived in Lisbon, Portugal, there were only six of the eight ships left, one supply ship and one heavy patrol loss, but this was only the beginning. The war between the Empire and Spain was ongoing. It was intercepted by the Spanish local fleet in the Strait of Gibraltar. In the end, only one battleship and one heavy patrol arrived at the Black Sea and joined the Black Sea Fleet. One of the other four ships was sunk, one of the beach was stranded and burned, and the other two were also severely damaged. They were finally sold to the Portuguese Navy at half price. The personnel arrived at the Baltic port in Poland through Portuguese merchant ships and headed to the Black Sea on land.

This is the price the Imperial Navy paid for its recklessness. Since then, it no longer sent fleets to supplement the Black Sea Fleet, but fully supported the local shipbuilding and other industries. For this purpose, it specially established an immigration agency and joined the ranks of immigrants to the west with the Army.

Although the treaty was full of surprises and imaginations, it is undeniable that the four countries were all satisfied with it, especially China. After Li Junwei signed on behalf of the empire, Russia, which was eager to stop the war, and King Sobesky, who had no other request, also chose to agree. Fazo returned to Istanbul with this re-planned agreement.

However, in this process, it was difficult for Mustafa to intervene. His unreasonable acts were disgusting. Everyone only expressed their willingness to negotiate with Fazo and believed in the political literacy of the Kopruli family.

However, the representatives of the Three Kingdoms Alliance tacitly agreed, Mustafa is annoying, but this is true for every negotiating opponent, and even for allies in the negotiations. The tacit choice of the Three Kingdoms is to make the two major political forces Fazo and Mustafa suffer intra-fighting, and to make the Ottoman authorities consume it because of intra-fighting.

Therefore, the delegates were satisfied to see Fazo returning to Istanbul by boat, and Musta Law went to the Ottoman front camp in the southern Gree River area for the reasons of future urging armistice and demarcation, where there were generals loyal to him.

However, the negotiations still omitted one point, that is, the other powerful Cossacks, the Cossacks, now allegiance to the three parties in the Three Kingdoms Alliance. During the war, they also shared certain interests, especially the land direction, especially the Cossacks loyal to Poland and Russia. After all, their citizens cannot migrate quickly like nomadic peoples in the western border of the empire, and they also hope that the Cossacks will continue to serve as a fence on the national border.

In the past era, the strength of the Cossacks and the Crimean Tatars had increased and decreased. The demise of the Crimean Khanate, the acquisition of land and higher political status made the Cossacks lose their shackles and gain more freedom. The best manifestation of this freedom is that after two or three years, the strength of the Cossacks was restored to a certain extent, and after they had free access to the Black Sea rivers, they turned into pirates.

In fact, the Cossacks themselves are the most omnipotent soldier, with all kinds of attributes of nomadism, farming, fishing and hunting. There have been records in history that they led their troops to attack the Black Sea coast and even the Mediterranean. Entering the Caspian Sea, attacking the Persian Empire and vassals were also retained programs.

This directly led to the Ottomans' dissatisfaction with the "Northern War" later, and triggered a series of conflicts and wars afterwards. However, all of this was a later story. After Fazo returned to Istanbul, he was still received by the Sultan. This time, no one else was around, and the Sultan chose to meet with Fazo alone.

"Is this the best clause you have won for the Ottoman?" Sultan put the agreement on the table. After receiving Fazo's affirmative reply, Sultan was silent for a while and said: "Can this agreement guarantee China to become our friend or at least form an alliance with us in the next war? Have you held talks with the Chinese prince on this matter?"

"Yes, I discussed it with King Yu, but he said that in the next war, he would not be here, but would return to Shin Kyung to enjoy the freedom and comfort of being a prince. So he did not agree to me, and even said directly that it would be in vain if he agreed." Fazo answered every question of Sultan seriously.

"Even so, you still chose to agree to this clause, right? What is your reason?"

"Based on judgments about the future of Ottoman," Fazo said.

"Fazor, do you have the power to look at the problem from the height of the Sultan, or do you have this ability?" Sultan asked narrowly. Fazor raised his head and looked straight in the eyes of the Sultan and said, "This is not my power, but His Majesty Sultan, as a member of the Ottoman, I must consider the long-term for you for the Ottoman."

"Well, how did you think about the future of Ottoman?" Sultan looked at Fazo and asked with interest.

"In the past two years, I have been to China twice and have been in contact with this group of people. I found that our weapons, technology, military and even financial capabilities have lagged far behind China. Compared with our surrounding enemies, Russia, Politics, Habsburg, and Venice, we do not have the advantages. Now our only advantage is the territory and people left by Sudan in the past dynasties. Our land area is large and our population is more than them, so when facing a single opponent, we have more troops.

But these will eventually be abandoned by the times, and advanced technology will offset the advantages of manpower and material resources. My judgment is that the Ottoman is no longer the West Asian lion that surpasses the heroes, and the empire is slowly declining......" Fazo said to the Sultan with his head up.

While Sultan's face remained the same, Fazo quickly explained: "It was not the one that declined recently, but the one that declined a hundred years ago. When we lost to Spain in the naval battle, we had already begun to decline, and we who had lost the ocean also lost the best way to continue to develop."

Sultan still nodded slightly, neither sad nor happy, which made Fazo a little confused. He thought the Sultan would be angry, but the Sultan did not say that until Fazo stopped speaking, the Sultan said: "What you said just now was not a ruthless word. In fact, your father, Old Koprulu, once said the same thing. I was still young at that time, but I vaguely remembered his words. At that time, I thought the Ottoman was on the verge of destruction and I would become the Sultan of the destruction of the country. Later, it was proved that your father was alarmist, Fazo.

Indeed, we do not have the strength to sway Europa as a hundred years ago, and our opponents are much stronger than they were back then, and there is even a vague trend of jointly responding to us. But is this related to the agreement you have drawn up?"

"Related, the decline of the Ottoman and the rise and union of the enemy require us to have an ally that is strong enough to balance the situation in the region," Fazo said.

Sudan smiled: "But you said just now that China has no intention of being our ally, and that Chinese prince did not agree."

"That's because the Chinese don't know whether our next war will expand or contract." Fazo said without hesitation: "If we are expanding, such as wanting to regain the land on the Black Sea coast, then the Chinese will still be our enemies, but if we are attacked by the Christian world and on the verge of failure, the Chinese will join in and help us, and they will not allow us to lose!" Fazo said.

Sudan nodded slightly: "I understand Fazo, this is what you are talking about political balance. China needs us to balance the Christian world. If we suppress them, China will deal with us. If we are suppressed by the Christian world, they will help us, right?"

"Yes, this is my brief view of the future of Ottoman," Fazo said.

Sultan nodded slightly and signed his flower name directly on the contract, which already indicated that Sultan agreed to the treaty. Then he said to Fazo: "Fazo, I have accepted your dedication to the Ottoman. Now you can declare the end of the war, the foreign war is over, but the internal struggle is endless. That idiot Mustafa went to the front line. What do you think I should do?"

Fazo sat upright and said, "I have two humble suggestions. First, let Mustafa return to Istanbul and continue to serve as the Great Vizier.

I applied to go to Egypt as Pasha. Please agree with these two suggestions at the same time, and the internal strife you mentioned can be suspended."

Sultan smiled and said, "Fazo, this is where you are better than Mustafa. You deserve to be a man from the Kopruli family. You said that the prince of China is well versed in the rules of politics. I think you are not inferior to him. The difference is that he has obtained almost the emperor's authority, but you are restricted by me, Mustafa.

But you have to tell me why you did this.”

Fazo said: "It's actually very simple. I signed this treaty. Although I think it is beneficial to the long-term interests of the Ottoman, the nobles in the country only see the damage to the interests and the offence of the dignity. Many people will hate me. With this alone, I cannot serve as the Great Vizier, and Mustafa has already entered the army. Although he has made no contribution to the Ottomans in recent years, he is very good at playing power, especially to win over the generals. I don't want another coup in Istanbul.

I said that everything I did was based on considerations of the future of Ottoman, but if you can't overcome this difficulty, then what future does Ottoman have? Your Majesty, the real future of Ottoman is in you."

Sudan smiled at this and said, "Fazoo, your concessions will not be forever. You will always be in my side and in my heart. Although Egypt is rich, the climate is not very good. I can send you a better place to rest for a few years or study China that you think is closely related to our future."

Fazo said: "No, Your Majesty, let's do Egypt. Egypt is the shortest path connecting Europa and China. The Chinese have always coveted it there. Now the war in the south is still continuing. If there is no certain achievement in Egypt, I think they will not give up. A trade agreement is also a necessary clause for the truce. In fact, trade is not only the opening of the Ottomans to Chinese merchants, but more importantly, Egypt.
