Valley Emperor

George, who has served in the European Hotel in Ceuta for many years, has seen many dignitaries of the empire. After all, the former Ceuta was not only the military outpost of the Tang Empire in Europe, but also the most important trade transit point.

The trade between Datang and Europe is almost all transited through Ceuta.

Large ships from the mainland of Datang or other overseas territories of Datang will stop at Ceuta to unload cargo and passengers after traveling far and wide. This is not only because the local area is an important overseas territory of Datang, but also the current large Tang has only one port in Europe and North Africa that can berth 10,000 tons and provide loading and unloading services for 10,000-ton freighters.

As for other ports, especially those small ports in indigenous countries, there are no such perfect port facilities.

After these goods and passengers arrive in Ceuta, they will be transferred to small and medium tonnage Datang steam ships to various ports in Europe and North Africa, including indigenous sailboats.

Such Ceuta naturally became the first destination for the Tang people to immigrate, trade, and do business in Europe, including many powerful people.

As the first high-end hotel in Ciutari, the European Hotel has become the first choice for these powerful and wealthy businessmen. Over the past few years, George has served in the European Hotel, but he has provided services for many imperial dignitaries.

So this time, before the opening of the European Hotel Egypt branch, it received the negotiating delegation from the empire. George was also well-versed in the arrangement, and put forward the high requirements as always for his subordinates: decent!

He wants the European Hotel Egypt branch to maintain the same service quality as the Ceuta Head Office, which is very important for European hotels to establish a high-end brand.

As the hotel where the Imperial Negotiation Delegation stayed at the European Hotel and the venue for the subsequent talks, George also knew some of the content of this negotiation.

The main issue of this negotiation between the Datang Empire and the Ottoman Kingdom is to resolve the issue of navigation safety in the Black Sea Strait.

Pay attention to the key point, not the navigation problem, but the navigation safety problem!

In addition to the issue of navigation in the Black Sea Strait, several other issues will be negotiated, mainly the transaction issues in the three regions of Algeria, Tunisia and Tripoli in North Africa, the issue of the Tang Empire's assistance to the Ottoman Kingdom in resisting the Tatar Golden Kingdom, and the trade issues between the two sides. Consult.

These issues are very important to the Ottoman Kingdom, especially the safety of navigation in the Black Sea Strait.

Datang attaches great importance to the safety of navigation in the Black Sea Strait, because it is related to the strategic passage of the ships of the Datang people to the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea, passing through the Don River, the Don River Canal, and the Volga River to enter the Caspian Sea.

The Don River Canal was officially opened last year. Although the scale of excavation is relatively small, it can only allow inland ships of less than 1,000 tons to navigate, but it still solves the navigation problem of the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea, and makes the military mobilization and material transportation of Datang more efficient. for convenience.

At the same time, the Eastern European Railway of the Datang Empire has been repaired to Rostov City on the banks of the Don River this year, which is the westernmost point of the Eastern European Railway and an important frontier strategic transit point for the Datang Army in Eastern Europe.

From this city, you can directly enter the Black Sea by boat, go to various places along the Black Sea coast, and after passing through the Black Sea Strait, you can directly enter the Mediterranean Sea.

In this way, the Datang Empire will attach so much importance to the safety of navigation in the Black Sea Strait!

The focus is not on navigation, but on safety. Under the current circumstances, Datang's ships have to pass through this strait.

However, Datang is still worried. Such an important strait is not under its own control. How can we guarantee the safety of navigation?

Therefore, the Tang people found the Ottoman Kingdom and negotiated on this issue!

To put it bluntly, the Tang Dynasty wants to take down both sides of the Taiwan Strait and station the troops!

The Ottoman Kingdom is naturally reluctant. This place is the core area of ​​the Ottoman Kingdom's rule. The capital Istanbul is on the west bank of the strait. If you want to control both sides of the strait, the adult family has to give you the capital. what!

However, even if it was unwilling, the Ottoman Kingdom did not dare to refuse this negotiation.

How should I put it, the Datang Empire is talking with you in a good voice, which is enough to give you face. This is why the Datang Empire has adopted a shrinking strategy in recent years, and the trend of fighting is not as good as buying is rampant. If you replace it with the previous , Datang talk to you for a fart, directly the battleship drove past for a while, the troops landed and garrisoned, as for what the natives say and think, people in the Datang don't care.

Therefore, the Datang people said that they would negotiate on the security issue of the Black Sea Strait, and the Ottoman Kingdom could come even if it was unwilling.

The palace of a royal palace that was destroyed by an "accidental bombing" in the early years is still in ruins. The royal family wants to rebuild it, but the royal family's pockets are empty, and if they have any money, they will invest in military expenses. How can there be money to repair the palace.

So now there are still ruins in the Ottoman palace, always reminding the Ottoman dignitaries, don't mess with the Tang Dynasty!

In addition to the key black sea navigation safety issues, several other issues are also very important, but these issues are, to put it bluntly, only a matter of money and transactions.

The Tang Empire's assistance to the Ottoman Kingdom of various weapons and supplies is the core of this transaction!

The Ottoman Kingdom recently fought a battle with the Golden Kingdom of Tatar. Its elite troops fully equipped with Tang equipment, that is, the Royal Guards, have achieved brilliant results, but the casualties are also relatively large. The most important thing is that the equipment and ammunition are depleted. The Ottoman royal family A large number of weapons and ammunition are urgently needed to rearm the Royal Guards to deal with the threat of the Tatar Golden Kingdom, and also to deal with the domestic rebels.

In the past two years, the interior of the Ottoman Kingdom has actually been unstable. Several rebels have appeared. These rebels are not badly equipped. Many of them are equipped with Tang weapons, which has brought great pressure to the royal family.

The Ottoman royal family wants to rebuild or even expand the scale of the Guards~www.wuxiaspot.com~ trying to expand the current 10,000 people to 50,000 people, but they don't have enough money!

They searched through various methods, but still not enough!

And the weapons and equipment of the Tang people are easy to use, but just one word: expensive!

What if the money is not enough?

Seller end!

So the territories of the three North African territories are put on the table.

Heaven and earth conscience, the Datang Empire has never thought about buying the three places in North Africa!

The world is so big and there are so many places to go to, the Datang people have a very cunning appetite for territory, but not everything they want.

These three places in North Africa are not good places. To be honest, the people of the Tang Dynasty really dislike it.
