Chapter 654 The Armenian Question

If the Allied Powers include Italy, excluding Imperial Russia, which is extremely disadvantaged in developing its navy. The current tonnage of the Allied Powers compared to the Allied Powers' navy is, the British Royal Navy vs. the German Navy is 2.7 million tons vs. 1.3 million tons. The French Navy is 90

10,000 tons versus 800,000 tons for Italy and Austria-Hungary.

As for the two main fleets of the Russian Empire, the Black Sea Fleet cannot pass the Ottoman Empire. As long as the strait is closed, the Black Sea Fleet will be finished. As for the Baltic Fleet, it is also under the blockade of the German High Seas Fleet.

It was impossible for Britain to call all the warships in the world back to contain the Germans. In terms of naval power, if the Allies were joined by the Kingdom of Italy, they would be very evenly matched.

The paper data of the French Navy is still very good, which is also the key to the role of the slave master's cash ability. The French Navy has 900,000 tons of warships. Even when facing Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Alliance, its strength is higher than those two countries.

After nearly a hundred days of sailing, the huge fleet, escorted by four battleships, entered the Persian Gulf from the strait and arrived at its final destination, William Pasha's Kuwait territory.

"No matter what time of year you come to this place, it's always extremely hot." As soon as Sheffield set foot on this golden land, she felt very uncomfortable. No wonder it is nicknamed the hottest place in the world.

Even Natalia and Mary Pickford were sweating profusely. Their longing for exotic places had long since disappeared. As they got into the car and drove on the bumpy road, Brown sat in the front seat and said embarrassedly, "Boss, the roads here are bad.

Some, in fact, we have built roads, but the cement dried out quickly and the asphalt looked like paste under the hot sun. There was really no way, so we later took stones and paved the road."

"There must be something wrong with the composition, and there is still a need for improvement. But this road is not bad, at least it is of high quality. Maybe it will not be damaged in fifty years." Sheffield looked at the relatively neat road and said, this kind of use

He had actually seen pavement made of stone in his previous life. There was such a road in his hometown. The quality was really great. From the time he was born until it was demolished, not even a single section of the road had cracked or collapsed.

Brown led the boss who came here from China into a Middle Eastern-style palace. This palace has been renovated and has complete water and electricity. Compared with other places in the Middle East, it looks very modern. The air conditioner running at full power finally gave him

The two women brought felt comfortable.

"Then I will send a telegram to Constantinople now to tell Enver Pasha that the boss has arrived!" After bringing the Sheffield group to the palace, Brown left in a hurry after receiving the approval.

On this day, Sheffield spent his first night in Arabia, and the magic lamp did not appear in his dream.

At present, the territory of Kuwait includes Basra Province, which is already under his administration. It covers an area of ​​more than 20,000 square kilometers and has a local population of 500,000. Eastern Christian sects account for about half of the total population.

Christianity has existed in the Middle East for a long time. One thing Sheffield must admit is that Western Asia in the Middle Ages was actually far more civilized than Europe. The surgical classification in modern medicine was not invented by Europeans. Instead, it originated from the concept of Arab medicine.

In the tenth century, Arab medicine already had the concept of surgery. The medicine of the Arab Empire paid great attention to eye diseases and had high skills in diagnosing and treating eye diseases. Almost all medical works have dedicated chapters to discuss eye diseases. The Arabs

He is the inventor of cataract aspiration.

Arab ophthalmologists used a series of self-invented surgical instruments during surgery, such as eye openers, retractors, small scalpels and needles. Arab doctors created the prototype of the modern discipline of ophthalmology. Ali Hassan's research enriched people's understanding of

Understanding of the physiological anatomy of the eyeball and the principles of vision. Most of the professional terms used by ophthalmologists today such as "retina", "cornea", "vitreous body" and "anterior chamber fluid" were invented by Arabs.

At the same time, medical schools also existed in the Arab Empire, specializing in teaching students to become respected doctors.

During its powerful period, the Arab Empire was much better to Christians than Europeans were to peaceful believers. There are a large number of Christians in various countries in the Middle East. As for when these Christians began to disappear from the Middle East in modern society, we have to ask the great

The United States became the beacon of mankind. Later generations of the United States continued to eliminate secular Arab regimes and supported **** regimes, which naturally led to a large number of Christians in the Middle East.

So when it comes to this kind of thing, it does not necessarily mean that two groups are similar, which is a good thing. Blood is thicker than water is just an excuse to deceive fellow villagers at some point.

Before Enver Pasha arrived in Basra, under the scorching sun, the slave owners began to conduct a preliminary inspection of their territory. Because when they were in Goa, they were not taken seriously by the British. So when they saw the nearby

He also pretended not to have seen the British military base and was not prepared to stage a scene where blood is thicker than water. His wife was French.

At the pier of the Kuwait port, employees of the Black Gold Company are using machinery to unload the 310mm train gun parts from the ship. After re-splicing, they will form the main force for the defense of Kuwait, with a total of twenty.

"The entire territory will be under militarized management from now on. I want an armed force of more than 50,000 people." Taking his eyes back from the busy port, Sheffield stepped on the yellow sand and faced Brown, the person in charge of the Persian Gulf base.

, "Among them, the black gold company must have at least 10,000 people, and the rest will be selected from Christians from all over the Middle East. This way, it will be more secure. Are all the granaries that have been built full?"

"It's enough to hold 500,000 tons, and the light weapons stored in the warehouse are enough to arm 50,000 people, but the artillery is still lacking." Brown talked eloquently, and it was obvious that these data were stored in his mind.

"We'll be there soon, just tell us what you need." Sheffield nodded as if thinking about something, "I don't care how much I invest, but I must hold on to the territory given to me by the Ottoman Sultan. I hope to pass by

After training, this armed force can at least deal with the British army in the Middle East. This must be done. Unlike the nonsense in the North African battlefield, the ownership of this land is mine."

Sheffield wanted to use the First World War to promote some things, such as establishing a country of his own in a reasonable and legal manner after the defeat and collapse of the Ottoman Empire. He didn't care about the Arabs. He had an army of 18,000, which was enough to defeat the Ottoman Empire.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Arabian Peninsula was king and hegemon.

There is one factor that has to be considered, and that is the British military in the Middle East. Although the British Empire currently has a British traitor Churchill who, in Sheffield's eyes, has a historical status second only to that of the Soviet Union, but after all, he is not the prime minister yet. The British

The country is still very strong.

But only the navy is strong, and the army is at a quasi-first-class level, which cannot be compared with army powers like France and Germany. Moreover, once the war breaks out, the British mobilized army will inevitably be on the European battlefield. How many troops are there in the Middle East?

It is also an unknown quantity. If only symbolic power is left, slave owners will not dare to resist.

Just think about how much oil is under the yellow sand under your feet. Not to mention the British Empire, even if aliens invade the earth now, the oil in the Persian Gulf can give slave owners courage.

The train guns transported thousands of miles from China were used to deal with the British troops in the Middle East. Otherwise, would they be used to deal with the Arabs? The Persian Gulf is a strait, and the role of the train guns will be amplified, while the navy's mobility will be reduced.

As long as there are enough troops on land, there is nothing that cannot be fought.

Now the slave owner hopes that the British can achieve his goals for the sake of sharing the same culture and race. Otherwise, he will not have any psychological barriers if he stabs the British in the back.

In half a month, he had already observed everything about the territory under his name, and except for the nearby unsightly British naval base, he knew almost everything. At this time, Enver Pasha was belatedly arriving!

"William, I finally see you." Enver Pasha said with a weathered expression. It was obvious that the situation in the past year had put this giant of the Ottoman Empire under tremendous pressure.

"Is the Russian side putting pressure on the Ottoman Empire again?" Anyway, Natalia was out of sight, and Sheffield jumped back again, accusing the Russian Empire of being full of ambition and the life-and-death enemy of the great Ottoman Empire.

For Enver Pasha, this is 100% correct. Sheffield remembers that this giant of the Ottoman Empire was killed by the Soviet Red Army. Why is this? Because after the defeat of the Ottoman Empire, the world leader from the Peace Church

It transformed into a nation-state, began to advocate the Great Turks, went to the Turkic places in Central Asia to develop its business, and then bumped into the Soviet Union and was crushed.

"Thinking about it this way, there are actually hidden dangers in the empire, respected Enver Pasha. I have a suggestion. Judging from the Balkan War, these Christians will become independent sooner or later. Especially in the border areas of the empire, there are indeed such hidden dangers. The Armenians should get

Pay special attention to the fact that a group of local Armenians should migrate out, otherwise they will be too close to the Empire and Ken will be taken advantage of." William Pasha suggested with a worried look on his face, completely worried about the Ottoman Empire.

"Similarly, the Arabs also have some ambitions. It is better to move the Armenians on the border of Imperial Russia to the Arabs. In this way, the two parties are hostile to each other and you can make better use of them."

Enver Pasha considered it solemnly for a long time, then nodded and said, "There is indeed such a hidden danger. The example given by William Pasha is very correct. During the Balkan War, the local people wanted to break away from the rule of the empire, and the Armenians could do the same.

We should take precautions in advance, do you mean to move them away?"
