Chapter 889 The Emperor's Chess Game (Fourth update, please subscribe)

protocol?

Emperor Zhu had a smile on his face.

He had already included the Jews in this when he was planning all this several years ago.

“It’s not an agreement, but it gives the Jewish people hope.”

Emperor Zhu said while playing chess.

"For the Jews, what they dream of is nothing more than a country that belongs to them. In the past, no European country has ever promised them this, but France can give it to them!"

It was not given by France, but by Emperor Zhu the Great who persuaded Napoleon IV to give it.

"With this promise, all the Jews in the world will support France in this war against Turkey, but this is not the most important thing. What is important is that those Jews must choose between the country where they live and Israel."

As a destroyer of order, one must first utilize all available forces and turn them into one's own aid rather than becoming an opponent.

This is also the reason why Emperor Zhu chose the Jews - the control of the Jews over the financial industry at this time far exceeded the imagination of later generations. Who would have thought that eight of the top ten banks in the UK were founded by Jews, six of the top ten in France, and seven in Germany.

After centuries of accumulation, Jewish capital has successfully controlled Europe's financial industry, and finance... is the root of war.

"But your majesty, the Jews are not trustworthy!"

Hu Xueyan specifically reminded.

"There is a proverb in Europe that Jews will tear up a contract with the devil at any time. For Jews, the only thing they will never betray is their interests!"

Hu Xueyan's reminder made Emperor Zhu laugh.

"Haha, this is exactly what the Jews are best at. They will always make the right choice, at least some of them will make the right choice. Why is it that in the wars in Europe, there are always some cities that seem unconquerable that suddenly forget to lock their doors?

Why after Constantinople was besieged for so long, suddenly one day a big door was pushed open.

When a country is in trouble, it will inevitably be in chaos!

Betrayal has long been engraved in the bones of the Jews. This is why I chose them, because for them...betrayal is what they are best at. Just like now, a Jewish state can make them sell out the interests of Britain and Germany. At least in this war, the Jews...will become our allies! Of course, the next time, only God knows, but for now, France needs them, and we also need them to trip up Britain. Buy us time!"

Buy time!

Buy time for the next war!

This is the value of the Jews. As for whether the Jews will betray in the future... it has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, let alone Jewish banks, there is not even a pawnshop. These industries themselves have access systems. Maybe Argentina and Chile had them before, but now, those Jews either work as clerks in Ming Dynasty banks or work their jobs obediently. As for banks and insurance companies, they don't even have to think about it.

After playing a game of chess with Hu Xueyan and asking some questions about bond issuance, Hu Xueyan took his leave. Emperor Zhu, standing in the pavilion, looked at the low twilight and talked to himself.

"They're almost starting to take action!"

…

The world situation was changing day by day. When the whole world was being stirred up by Turkey, Turkey was in a precarious situation. The fall of the Pleven Fortress and the capture of Osman Pasha were extremely devastating blows to Turkey.

After the fall of the Pleven Fortress, the only army Istanbul could rely on was the army led by Suleiman Pasha. However, compared with the hundreds of thousands of Russian troops, Suleiman, as the commander-in-chief, only had tens of thousands of troops. Facing the powerful and advancing Russian army, what should Turkey do?

Just when the whole of Istanbul was in panic because of the fall of Pleven's fortress and the vigorous advance of the Russian army, the statement of the British Empire gave Turkey hope!

The British Empire is coming!

For a time, everyone in Türkiye was extremely excited. In their opinion, Türkiye was finally saved!

"Thank God, with the help of Britain, we will surely repel the Russians..."

Abdul Aziz I in the Sultan's Palace said to his trusted ministers with some excitement.

He didn't know that, according to history, he should have been overthrown in June, but the Russian invasion gave him a new lease of life, making the coup disappear into thin air.

"Your Excellency the Sultan, the British fleet will arrive here soon. With the help of Britain, we will surely win this war..."

At this time, no one would talk about bad news like France declaring war.

“Thanks be to Allah, Allah will not be stingy with His grace for His believers!”

Abdul Aziz I said proudly.

"Soon, we will be able to celebrate our victory here. This time, Russia will surely suffer an even more tragic defeat than the last war!"

Just as they were celebrating, suddenly, a series of shrill alarms sounded in the air.

"Air raid! Quick, Sultan, the Russian airships are coming!"

The Russian airships have arrived. In the past few days, Russian airships have flown over the city many times and bombed Istanbul and nearby cities.

After experiencing several air strikes, the Turks already know how to respond. How to respond?

Of course, hide in the air-raid shelter or the basement!

The way of warfare has changed since the day airships were put into use.

Under the attack of airships, there is no so-called safe rear anymore, especially since a month ago, when the Russian airship troops began to use 30mm Gatling machine guns to attack Turkish trains from the air. Although the accuracy of the bombs could not accurately destroy the railways, the machine guns attacked the trains and successfully blocked Turkey's rear transportation.

Not only that, the bombing of the city also dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Turks time and time again, but what was different today was that the airships did not drop bombs in the city as usual, but flew over the Bosphorus and then directly to the Sea of ​​Marmara.

The Turks at the Istanbul air defense observation post were a little confused when they saw that the airship did not drop the bomb but flew westward in such a swagger.

"What are they doing? Where are they going?"
