“What? Buy Libia for 10 million rubles? Enver Pasha only felt a rush of blood rushing directly to his head, and his whole body seemed to be about to explode.
The Russians are completely robbing while the fire is fired! What a bandit!
In the Balkan War, after the Russian Empire defeated the Ottoman Empire, when demanding war reparations, it proposed that the Ottoman Empire transfer the Libia region to the Tsarist Empire. In this way, the Ottoman Empire would not have to pay war reparations.
In the end, the Ottoman Empire refused, instead paying war reparations of up to 900 million rubles.
It is conceivable that at the price of that time, the value of the Libia region was as high as 900 million rubles!
In just over a decade, the Russians’ offer has become 10 million rubles, which is shrinking ninety times!
How could Enver Pasha accept such conditions?
Besides, for the Russian Empire, Enver Pasha naturally hated it incomparably. You know, the decline of the Ottoman Empire is inseparable from the invasion of the Russian Empire.
For more than two hundred years, the Russian Empire crushed the Ottoman Empire through one war after another, greatly shrinking the territory of the Ottoman Empire. Now, the whole of Europe has been lost.
Otherwise, how could the Ottoman Empire have fallen to this point?
But at all odds, Enver Pasha hopes to one day take revenge.
Now, the Russians are taking advantage of the fire and robbery, this is completely bullying!
“Your Excellency Ambassador, we can’t sell Libia, it’s the territory of the empire, it’s not for sale!” Enver Pasha said through gritted teeth.
“Your Excellency Pasha, everyone knows very well the current situation of the war in Libia. Although, your army did its best, although it fought very well. However, after the Kingdom of Caesar has already invested an army of up to 100,000 people, it is no longer possible for you to turn things around. After all, you can’t send reinforcements to the Libia region. Your strength there will only get weaker and weaker. Coupled with the shelling and harassment of your coastal by the Caesar Kingdom navy, it has caused you great losses. If this continues, I am afraid that you will not be able to bear it even more. Once the kingdom of Caesar captures Libia, you will not be able to get anything.
If you can agree to the deal. Then, the Kingdom of Caesar will naturally be dealt with by us. And we will drive them out of the Aegean Sea and will no longer let them pose a threat to you. This was a great deal for the Ottoman Empire. ”
Ambassador Andrey then proposed.
The expression on Enver Pasha’s face kept changing, and he had the heart to refuse.
However, he had to admit that the current situation was indeed very bad for the Ottoman Empire.
The Ottoman army in Libia was already very difficult. The delay in obtaining reinforcements or even supplies has been impregnated. Even if General Mustafa Kemal behaved well. However, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice!
Coupled with the shelling of the Ottoman Empire by the navy of the Caesar Kingdom, it has already dealt a great blow to the Ottoman Empire. If this continues, the longer it drags on, the greater the price they will pay.
“Your Excellency Ambassador, go back first, I need to discuss with the others!” Enver Pasha’s attitude eventually softened.
Because he knew very well that if they did not accept the proposal of the Russians, they would get nothing.
Ten million rubles is not much, but it is better than not getting anything. Even, maybe you can negotiate prices with the Russians, and you can take the opportunity to raise prices.
Ambassador Andrei nodded, a smile on his face.
He knew that Enver Pasha had already moved. Then, the probability of success of this business will be very high.
Immediately, Enver Pasha met with Talat Pasha and Jemar Pasha and informed them of the Russians’ proposal. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
Talat Pasha and Jemal Pasha also believed that the Russians were doing this clearly to take advantage of the fire.
However, they also know. For the current Ottoman Empire, there was no other option.
If they did not accept the proposal of the Russians, they would eventually have to submit to the Caesar Kingdom. At that time, they will not only lose the libia region, but also be ridiculed by the whole world. Moreover, the shelling of the coastal areas of the Ottoman Empire by the navy of the Caesar Kingdom also cost them dearly. Instead of this, it is better to sell Libia to the Russians. In this way, let the Russians deal with these problems.
“Damn the Russians, they really look for opportunities!” Jemal Pasha looked aggrieved.
“Alas! Who weakens our country, and who wants to step on us? However, the main reason why the Caesar Kingdom was able to defeat us was that they had a powerful navy that could block the Libia region. And we cannot send reinforcements to the battlefield of Libia. Otherwise, maybe the Caesar Kingdom is not our opponent at all! Talat Pasha said.
Enver Pasha nodded repeatedly, and he thought the same.
“If there are no other objections, then be prepared to negotiate with the Russians.” Get as much money as you can from the Russians for 260. One day, we will make those enemies pay! Enver Pasha said through gritted teeth.
Talat Pasha and Jemal Pasha both nodded repeatedly.
In the face of this dilemma, they were extremely aggrieved. However, there is no other way. This naturally made them very, very uncomfortable.
Talat Pasha then began negotiations with Andrey, the Russian ambassador to the Ottoman Empire.
When the sale of libia to the Russians is a foregone conclusion, raise the price as much as possible.
After much negotiation, the Russian Empire raised the price to 20 million rubles and did not budge.
Seeing this, the Ottoman Empire had to agree to this price.
Anyway, they were eager to take the Libia region, and then let the Kingdom of Caesar and the Russian Empire go dog-eat-dog, so that they could get out of it. As for the final outcome of this war, then it has nothing to do with them.
On May 26, 1812, the Ottoman Empire officially signed a treaty with the Russian Empire, selling the entire Libia region to the Russian Empire for 20 million rubles.
At the same time, the Ottoman Empire ordered the army in the Libia region to stop resistance and prepare to leave the Libia region by boat, with a posture of completely withdrawing from here.
