Now the only person who can solve the shortage of supplies for the Ottoman army is Sheffield. Germany has never had many choices of allies. On the other hand, the Germans themselves do not believe in allies. The Allied Powers are called Germany.

Allies, but in the process of getting along, they are just a little stronger than the servant army.

Naturally, the priority for supplies was to get German soldiers first. The Ottoman Empire could not count on the Germans to provide material help. Enver Pasha was born in 1881, which is older than Sheffield.

Smaller.

From the son-in-law of the Caliphate to the hero who led the Tripoli resistance against the Italian invasion, from the imperial hero in the Balkan melee to the leader of the Young Turks, from one of the three imperial giants who led the Ottomans in World War I, to taking refuge in Germany after the war

The exiles ranged from politicians who competed with Kemal for leadership, to revolutionaries who collaborated with the Bolsheviks, from careerists who led the Turkic movement in Central Asia, to strangers who were shot dead by the Red Army in the Pamir Plateau.

Enver Pasha's life spanned Europe and Asia, and his political views vacillated. However, he was always a true champion of the Ottoman Empire, and he spent his whole life fighting for the survival and even revival of the crumbling Ottoman Empire.

After the coup of the Young Turks, he could have taken power, but he voluntarily gave up. Italy invaded Libya. Enver could have stayed in the safe Kostantiniya to negotiate an armistice with Italy, but he volunteered to go to the front line and led the Ottomans, who were inferior in numbers and equipment.

The army fought until it was betrayed by the capital.

As for Enver Pasha, when the Ottoman defeat was already determined, he led the massacre of the Armenian, Greek and Assyrian ethnic groups. This was of course a big crime, but everyone is qualified to criticize it, and the Ottomans are not qualified to criticize it.

.

Sheffield was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Persian Gulf. In fact, he was on an equal footing with Cemal Pasha, one of the three major pashas. Cemal Pasha was appointed commander of the Fourth Army of the Ottoman Empire and took charge of Silesia.

Military and political power in Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Hijaz and other provinces.

This is equivalent to the southern front of the Ottoman Empire, with two different theaters responsible for military and political power. And Sheffield is still a foreigner, so this kind of treatment is not unimportant. It has already exceeded the British who were the marshals of the Ottoman Empire's navy.

When leading Hafez Samuddin to the factory, Sheffield showed the modern production line in front of the Ottoman military attache, which left a deep impression on Hafez Samuddin.

Hafez Samuddin gave the Ottoman army currently on the front line in the Caucasus a shortage of supplies, 17,000 military coats, 17,000 pairs of boots, 23,000 blankets, 13,000 backpacks, plus marching

Gaps for tents, artillery and rifles.

"For the gaps in artillery and rifles, just send people to the Kuwaiti territory to get them. However, I need a certain amount of time to produce these newly added munitions. It doesn't take long. One month is enough." Sheffield.

As he walked, he said, "The Christian militias near the Persian Gulf must be suspected by the capital, but the three pashas can rest assured that I will never let these Christians rebel. I am not for Christ in the Middle East.

They are also pitiful people. Sometimes they will be used by Western European powers. I will let them put out their unrealistic ideas. Religion is not the criterion for deciding whether to rebel or not! Maybe the Arabs will be taken advantage of by the British earlier.

Agitate and hope that Cemal Pasha will be more careful."

Sheffield still remembers the Arab Uprising. It seems that there was an Englishman named Lawrence who played a very important role in this matter. If nothing else, when the British instigated the Arab Uprising, he, the Kuwaiti Pasha,

The enemy will become this person.

"Enver Pasha believes in William Pasha, and I have no reason not to believe it." Hafiz Samuddin said firmly.

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. I am a citizen of the United States. Let's just take it step by step." Sheffield smiled and said, "I can only guarantee that the British army will not invade the hinterland of the empire from the Persian Gulf. As for the frontline in the Caucasus,

Fight? To be honest, it is still too difficult for the Greeks and Armenians to fight against the Russian Empire. In short, you can call Enver Pasha back. I will ensure the stability of the Persian Gulf and provide logistical support to the imperial army.

."

Sheffield has the confidence to make a guarantee. If the British are not satisfied, they can rely on the centuries-old naval tradition and use cruisers or destroyers in overseas territories to sink his battleships in the Persian Gulf.

Hafiz Samuddin left, and when he returned to Sheffield in the villa, he faced Louisa Morgan's soul torture. The slave owner had kept Natalia a secret about her collusion with the Ottoman Empire. Louis

Sam Morgan was aware of it. Although he did not object openly, he did insinuate it and said, "You just finished criticizing the Republican Party for wanting to drag the country into war."

"I am different from the Republicans. I joined the war in my own name. I am the Pasha of the Ottoman Empire!" Sheffield straightened his back and expressed his differences with Roosevelt righteously.

"What's the difference?" Louisa Morgan was not fooled by the words and said in disbelief, "They still joined the war. As for the current situation, as for what the British will do to the United States because of this incident, the impact is definitely

exist."

"The difference is that the Republican Party wants us to join the Allied Powers and fight the Germans. But I help the Ottoman Empire and monitor the movements of the Arabs." The slave owner emphasized the difference. The difference here is so big that no one can believe it.

We will not compare the Arab national armed forces with the regular armies of the two camps.

After calling Jesra over, Sheffield got busy and temporarily left New York. While taking the airship, he said to the bodyguard leader, "Send 3,000 people from Black Gold Company to Kuwait. The commander will be transferred to the company. Tell him.

Christian militias, what we have to do now is to protect ourselves. Before the war has a clear outcome, we must remain loyal to the Ottoman Empire. Draw up a plan to fight in the Persian Gulf. In principle, my goal is to keep the territory.

Pushing southward to the Omani border.”

Although Sheffield became a Kuwaiti pasha recognized by the Ottoman Empire before Britain formally annexed Kuwait, it does not mean that Britain lost its foothold in the Persian Gulf. Before he established a foothold in Kuwait, Britain had been operating in the Persian Gulf for many years.

, the center is Oman.

When the country of Oman is mentioned, what slave owners think of is the Oman colonial empire! During the period when the empire was strong, its territory included all of Oman, eastern Yemen, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, southwestern Iran, Balochistan and Gwadur

, eastern Somalia, the coast of Kenya, the coast of Tanzania, northern Madagascar, and the Comoros Islands, were the most powerful countries on the Indian Ocean coast at that time. Zanzibar in Tanzania in East Africa served as the second capital of the Oman Empire.

Britain's power in the Persian Gulf is mainly in Oman. Sheffield's purpose is to wait for an opportunity under the cover of a world war to let the Kuwaiti Christian Legion occupy the UAE in later generations and all the oil-producing areas on the west coast of the Persian Gulf along the way.

.

Jasra lived up to expectations and recruited a group of retired military officers from the Federal Ministry of War to make a plan to seize the United Arab Emirates south from the Kuwaiti territory.

"Boss, those staff officers said that they really can't believe that anyone would dare to formulate a plan against the British." Jesra handed over a thick stack of plans and said in a joking tone, "What we will capture is the barren desert."

"The barren desert is also the homeland of Christians in the Middle East. It is better to follow me, the pasha of the Ottoman Empire, than to be thrown away after being used by the British." Sheffield took over the Persian Gulf battle plan and said while flipping through it.

This plan does not have a very ambitious goal, which is to acquire Saudi Arabia's oil production areas, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. Together with Kuwait, which is already in hand, it accounts for about 65 to 7% of the Persian Gulf oil reserves.

Ten, and the rest are in northern Iraq and Iran.

The slave owner felt that Arabs were more suitable for hard work, and it was more suitable for him, a degenerate slave owner, to control things like oil.

After the mid-term elections in the United States, the outcome was also decided on the two battlefields on the Western Front. The Battle of the Marne was coming to an end. Paris was far away in the sight of the German army, but out of reach. The British and French allied forces resisted with all their might.

German attack!

Moltke, the German Chief of General Staff, mobilized heavy howitzers and airships for support. At the same time, he hoped that the Italian army on the French-Italian border could make progress, so that from the north and south, the German and Italian troops could encircle the entire France and end the war on the Western Front.

, turned around and eliminated the Russian Empire in the east, winning the war.

However, the news from the French-Italian border was not good. 400,000 Italian troops had been besieging the French-Italian border for a full month without making any major progress. After the French counterattack at the end of October, the French army invaded Italy.

When the news came, Xiao Maoqi, who had been frequently informed that the frontline generals needed to make repairs, suddenly ordered the attacking German troops to retreat. The Battle of the Marne River came to an end, with 250,000 casualties of the German army and 400,000 deaths of the British and French forces. The two armies broke away from contact!

"Although I have never had hope for the combat effectiveness of the Italian Army, is it okay to be counterattacked and occupy the mainland?" Sheffield muttered after hearing the news, "What will the Germans say in the next hundred years?"

Slave owners know very well the virtues of the German Junkers represented by Man Buqun. The weather is too hot, the weather is too cold, and the weather is neither cold nor hot. The French-Italian border was going on at the same time as the Battle of the Marne.
