Chapter 689 The Fourth Pasha
"I'm so happy for you. You don't know what the London bankers have been scolding you about recently. You've cut off a lot of German companies, right?" Louisa Morgan pointed at Sheffield with her index finger.
He smiled evilly and said, "You are not afraid that others will be jealous of you and cut off your beard in the British colonies."
"What are you afraid of? It's not just the British colonies! Let's wait until they take care of the Germans." Sheffield tilted his neck and smiled at Louisa Morgan's compliments. "Now it seems that being a friend of the Germans has great benefits. These are all
It’s what I deserve. Besides, don’t I want our children to inherit more inheritance in the future?”
"I gave all the steel industry to Edith's son, and you're not impressed at all?" He reached out and groped between Louisa Morgan's thighs, and said in a low voice, "I have too many children. If I don't work hard to make money,
How can any property be divided among so many heirs?"
"I didn't say anything!" Louisa Morgan clamped her legs to prevent her big hands from pulling away and said emotionally, "Be a man and you will be the envy of men all over the world. If Edith and I are cheaper,
Man, it is enough for a man who has accomplished nothing to become a successful person."
"You guys don't like it either. What's the use of talking about it?" Sheffield picked up the fingers of his clamped fingers and heard Louisa Morgan snort, but he asked in a long voice as if he didn't know anything.
,"Um?"
Recently, various European countries have launched offensives at the same time, and they have become a mess. This is in line with Sheffield's idea. Germany faces the British and French forces on the western front, Italy faces France on the Mediterranean, and the German-Austrian forces face Imperial Russia on the eastern front. The Ottoman Empire faces Imperial Russia on the Caucasus, and the Eastern Mediterranean
The Ottoman army faced off against the British.
Don't be idle, contribute your own strength in the world war, and then you will live up to the original intention of participating in the war. As for Sheffield himself and his company, the world's second largest Concern Group, they will do a good job of supporting the participating countries. Why is it the second largest?
The largest Concern Group, officially known as the German Reich, has 60 million employees.
The needs of the European participating countries have not yet been reflected, but Sheffield is still profitable, with a US$50 million airship contract and a US$30 million shipbuilding contract. Coupled with the good relationship it has always had with Germany, a large number of British
German companies in the colonies offered to be acquired because the matter was still in progress and there was no way to calculate it yet.
This is also the purpose of Louisa Morgan's visit. Sheffield's skills in the financial field are really unflattering, and the controller of Morgan Stanley came here specifically to check things.
After an in-depth and candid exchange, Louisa Morgan, who received a satisfactory answer, held Sheffield's head and said with satisfaction, "Aren't I afraid that you will suffer a loss? It's really not reassuring for you to do this alone."
.The financial methods are so far behind those of the British."
The slave owner, holding a cigarette in his mouth, nodded and said, "I am not a greedy person, and you are not an outsider. Of course we can do the same thing together, which is also good for the development of Morgan Stanley."
"There is also my brother's bank. With him here, we are more certain about this matter. Our family still has a lot of face in front of the British." Louisa Morgan twisted her body and talked about the various benefits of doing so.
This midterm election has ended before it even started. The League of Nations refrained from criticizing the UK for only a few days, but as the election approached, it had to criticize the UK again, accusing the Republicans of wanting to
The United States has been dragged into a world war. Choosing the Republican Party is choosing war.
The Democratic Party knows that the descendants of immigrants from many countries in the United States will not join the war. If you look at the history of the Democratic Party, it is untenable to accuse the Republican Party of joining the war. But who asked the former president to make a statement?
We should support the Anglo-French Agreement and defend modern civilization. The Republican Party must pay a price for this.
Facts have proved that the citizen class is easy to deceive. Judging from the situation of this mid-term election, the Democratic Party is now far ahead. With such a result, Sheffield feels that it is not unacceptable to draw Britain out to criticize.
When the slave owners were about to move from one victory to another, the Ottoman Empire's military attaché in Washington came to visit. There must be something important to come to the door at this time.
"William Pasha, my name is Hafiz Samuddin." The visitor greeted Sheffield politely.
"Are you a Kurd?" Sheffield read a lot of books, guessing the other party's ethnic origin.
"Yes, I received the order from Enver Pasha and came to look for William Pasha." Hafiz Samuddin nodded and then expressed his intention. The Ottoman Empire hopes to get help from Sheffield.
"Is this it? I am a citizen of the United States after all!" Sheffield hesitated. With Italy and the Ottoman Empire joining the war, he was ready to return to his true nature as a businessman and do business honestly.
The old friend of the German people, the son-in-law of France, the guardian of the Grand Duchess of Russia, Osman Pasha, these labels are just words and cannot be taken seriously, anyway, he himself did not take them seriously.
"This war is of great importance to the Ottoman Empire. William Pasha, please help us. Enver Pasha also knows your difficulties, but now we can only turn to you. We are not beggars and are willing to do whatever we can to help the Ottoman Empire."
In exchange for an equal amount." Hafiz Samuddin's eyes were stern and full of determination, "Being able to avenge the shame requires necessary protection in addition to a brave heart."
As soon as he heard the avenge, Sheffield knew who he was targeting. It could make the Ottoman Empire feel ashamed. There is no other semicolon on this earth except the Empire. This was established by ten Russian-Turkish wars.
What really made the Ottoman Empire feel the pain was the recent Tenth Russo-Turkish War. Since the Berlin Peace Treaty of 1878, the three major empires of Kars, Batumi and Ardahan in Anatolia of the Ottoman Empire
The province fell into the hands of the Russian Empire. Although the Ottoman Empire had long been accustomed to losing cities and territories after repeated defeats for two hundred years, this was the first time that a land with a majority Ottoman population fell into the hands of another country. For the empire,
, this pain is what Alsace-Lorraine is to France. Of course, it is completely impossible to overthrow the empire and regain the country with the power of the Ottoman Empire alone.
To be honest, Sheffield did not want to participate. The Ottoman Empire did contribute its due strength in the First World War, and it was indeed remarkable when facing the Allies. But this was against the British army. The Ottoman Empire was in
There were constant exchanges between the Middle East and British armies, and they even had the upper hand for a time.
But that was not against the Russian army. While defeating the British army, the Ottomans were also being defeated by the Russian army in the Caucasus. In the Middle East battlefield, the British army and the colonial legions were nearly one million, and the Ottoman Empire came and went. The Russian army in the Caucasus
Gaofeng only had half the number of British troops in the Middle East, but they overwhelmed the Ottoman army to beat them. It can only be said that when facing the Russian Empire, the Ottoman soldiers had a psychological shadow and thought that they could not defeat the opponent.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the Ottoman army was able to gain the upper hand in the face of the British army, which had better supplies and weapons than the Russian army. However, when the Russian army was beaten from beginning to end, it only gained the upper hand after the collapse of the Russian Empire.
The fact is also true. Grand Duke Nicholas was still on his way to take office. While the Ottoman Empire entered the war, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Front, Grand Duke Nicholas, had not yet arrived. General Borgman of the First Caucasus Army led the First Caucasus Army.
A line along the Aras River launched a surprise attack on the positions of the Turkish Third Army stationed in eastern Anatolia. After many days of fierce fighting, the Turkish army suffered more than 8,000 casualties, while the Russian army also suffered more than 5,000 casualties and casualties.
Nearly a thousand soldiers froze to death. Although the losses were relatively large, the Turkish army successfully stopped the Russian army's advance.
"Hafiz, I can't do this." Sheffield finally refused. The first battle had been like this. How could he have confidence? Could it be that Enver Pasha already felt that compared with previous Russian-Turkish wars, this time
Is it already a good start?
In Constantinople, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire officially launched a holy war against the Allied forces in the name of the Caliph, and at the same time appointed Enver Pasha as the commander-in-chief of the Ottoman Army.
After taking office, Enver Pasha immediately formulated a plan to attack the Russian Empire, focusing on the Sakalemesh Fortress behind the Russian army. Sarkarmesh is located at the end of the Russian Caucasus Railway and is the gateway to the Russian border area for the Russian army.
Kars, the only access road to the rear of Tbilisi, can be said to be the Achilles heel of the Russian army in the entire Caucasus border area. Once Sarikamysh is taken, the road to Kars in the rear for the Russian army in the Caucasus will be cut off, and the entire Caucasus border area will be cut off.
The army will fall into the hands of the Ottomans and be destroyed. This will be a great victory comparable to the Battle of Tannenberg, and the Ottoman Empire will regain its three provinces.
While formulating ambitious plans, Hafez Samuddin came to Sheffield again, hoping to provide for the material gap. After making the request, Hafez Samuddin also said, "Enver Pasha has already used the Ottoman Empire to
In the name of the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, William Pasha was appointed as the commander of the southeastern front line in the Persian Gulf, commanding all the subjects there."
Sheffield, who was about to refuse again, took back his words and asked with doubt, "Does it also include the Arab lands on the west coast of the Persian Gulf?"
"Yes, William Pasha, you are even the fourth Pasha of the current empire." Hafiz Samuddin said, "The military forces on the front line of the Persian Gulf are under your command."
