Chapter 583： Cant solve the problem, just ... (1/2)

Despite the disparity in terms of conditions between the two sides, negotiations between the parties have been smooth.

It is impossible to lose money. Even if the Sudanese government is willing to lose money, they will not be able to get it. This war has already broken their wallets.

The Ottoman Empire is actually financially bankrupt. Not only has the international debt been suspended, but even the salaries of domestic public officials have not been paid.

Austria did not launch this war to blackmail war compensation. Although an astronomical figure was called, it was just a bargain.

It is common practice in continental Europe to cede land without money. In fact, there is nothing to talk about in this regard. It is impossible to spit it out after it has been eaten.

Austria's requirements are not high. In addition to the 100,000 square kilometers of land in the occupied area, it has also increased Jerusalem and the Arabian Peninsula.

The Ottoman Empire had long lost actual control of the Arabian Peninsula, and Austria wanted only the legitimacy of nominally ruling the Arabian Peninsula.

The real headache for the Sudanese government is Jerusalem. This is not a strategic or economic issue. The declining Ottoman Empire is no longer qualified to discuss Middle East strategy, mainly due to religious trouble.

On this issue, European countries did not support them. Politicians are also people, and they have the same passions. It is important to curb Austria, and it is not worth it to get in.

No one can afford to betray the Holy Land. The Ottoman Empire is supported on this issue, and the spit stars of the people can spray them to death.

Under normal circumstances, this controversial negotiation will last a long time. Unfortunately, the contradictions within the Ottoman Empire continue to intensify, and war refugees are swallowing up the country.

Austria can afford it, and the Sudanese government can't hold it. If the war is not ended soon and the refugees are sent back to resume production, the spring ploughing will be finished next year.

As an agricultural country, the family of the Ottoman Empire is not thick, and this war has exhausted the family. Once spring ploughing cannot proceed smoothly, they will be unable to withstand the famine that will break out next year.

In contrast, negotiations between the Ottoman Empire and the Russians have reached an impasse. The Tsarist government wanted to recover both the Caucasus lost in the last war and the Black Sea Strait, and it also demanded compensation.

From the standpoint of the Russians, their requirements are in line with actual needs. Alexander II needed to give a big victory to offset the bad effects of the defeat of the last war.

The war has been won, and the Caucasus that was lost the last time must be taken back. For the Russian Empire, the strategic location of the Black Sea Strait was very important, and the Tsarist government could not let it go.

The Tsarist government was so drowsy that it wanted to ask for war compensation to make up for its finances. Too many demands, the Ottoman Empire naturally cannot accept.

Austria and the Russians are still allies. The war was launched jointly. The Russian-Turkish negotiations have not ended, and the armistice treaty cannot be signed.

Franz was also shocked by the lion's opening of the Tsarist government. He finally understood why everyone's evaluation of the Russians was indispensable for ”greed”.

This is not ordinary greed. If the Russians sent troops alone to fight the current results, the conditions of the Tsarist government could barely be justified, but the problem is that they did not have such a strong strength.

As long as Austria stops distributing logistical supplies, the frontline Russian army will soon collapse, and the Tsarist government now has no money to expedite divisions.

Franz did not consider Alexander II to be a fool. It was obvious that the Tsarist government clearly knew that it would be intriguing to continue to insist on such excessive conditions.

”What do the Russians say, will they continue this war?”

Now is the best time to destroy the Ottoman Empire. With the hatred between the Russians and the Ottoman Empire, it is not surprising that the Tsarist government wanted to take the opportunity to kill them.

Foreign Minister Weissenberg: ”His Majesty, the Tsarist government seems to be swaying. They are worried about international pressure and they don't want to let the Ottoman Empire just leave.

In the current situation, every day that the war drags on will cause heavy losses to the Ottomans. Despite the armistice treaty, frontline Russian forces have not stopped sabotage.

Expel the surrounding people, tinker with farmland, roads, water conservancy projects, destroy urban infrastructure, and blow up *** temples ... ”

These are the practices of the Russian-Turkish war, and once it is determined that they cannot be occupied, they will be sabotage. Franz's choice to partner with the Russians, in addition to reducing the cost of war, requires the Russians to pull hatred.

The international image also needs to be set off. After the atrocities of the Russians, even the Austrian army is occasionally out of order.

Franz asked in confusion: ”You mean that the Russians want to take the opportunity to weaken the power of the Ottoman Empire, but is this necessary?”

The war has now ended, and the Ottoman Empire is virtually dead. Hundreds of thousands of young people have fallen on the battlefield, and millions of refugees have been born. All coastal areas have been rendered white, and civil war has erupted in China.
