Just as everyone expected.

Antonlev was soon dismissed, and Peter the Great expressed his anger at the progress of Sakhalin.

The parliament in St. Petersburg also expressed its disappointment with Antonlev and broke into a quarrel.

This time, Antonlev originally wanted to use his surprise attack on Sakhalin Island to create some achievements for himself, so that he could go further and further in the army. Unfortunately, because of his excessive caution, he missed the best opportunity and still

Directly losing at least 30,000 navy troops to Tsarist Russia!

An absolute failure!

This is an absolute failure that Tsarist Russia cannot accept!

Peter directly used his first admiral, Ushakov, to take over Antonlev's command.

It can be seen that he attaches great importance to Sakhalin Island.

Ushakov, the first true naval admiral of the Tsarist Russian Empire, and the patron saint of the Tsarist Russian Navy declared by the Orthodox Church, is absolutely a world-class general.

So far.

The war between Tsarist Russia and Long Yan began to really heat up.

Both sides jointly announced that the conflict had reached the level of war.

Everyone focused the war on the relationship between the two countries. This made the European side breathe a sigh of relief, especially the Ottomans.

Hamid.

At this time, I was sitting on the throne in Istanbul, quietly listening to the quarrels among the courtiers below.

"Your Majesty, at this time, we should quickly organize a large army to take back our lost land!"

"Yes, we want to get back our Sarabia region as soon as possible!"

"Your Majesty...this opportunity cannot be missed!"

"Your Majesty... while Tsarist Russia is in a war with Long Yan, we must give them a painful blow! Otherwise, the Black Sea will also be in danger!"

Many Ottoman ministers still had a very vicious vision.

The powerful Tsarist Russia has brought enough humiliation to the Ottomans over the years. In the end, Hamid came to power and even shamefully ceded a lot of land to Tsarist Russia. Everyone knew that the ferocity of this polar bear was irresistible to the Ottomans.

However, they must resist!

The long-term war with Tsarist Russia dragged the Ottomans, whose system was rigid and increasingly decadent, into the abyss.

All this is because of the Black Sea!

As long as they are European countries, no one wants to let Tsarist Russia control the Black Sea! Once it controls the Black Sea, Tsarist Russia will bring them endless nightmares. So whether it is Britain, France, the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, or Sweden,

Neither the Netherlands nor the Netherlands wanted to see the Black Sea fall into the hands of Tsarist Russia.

The Black Sea Strait, this is the real reason why Tsarist Russia has been fighting the Ottomans.

Whenever a war breaks out, the European powers will stand behind the Ottomans and give them strong support. This is why the Ottomans are so powerful, but the European powers have always had a harmonious relationship with them. This is because of Tsarist Russia.

Yes, Tsarist Russia's threat to the Black Sea Strait has always existed.

Therefore.

The current situation in Europe is actually so subtle.

It can also be said that the world structure is so subtle. There is no eternal justice, only eternal interests.

When the Ottomans threatened them, they would unite to attack the Ottomans, but when the Ottomans are now dying, they will support the Ottomans and fight against Tsarist Russia.

Now it seems that the Ottomans, whose territory is still vast, have actually become a doll in the hands of the European powers.

Always a puppet on a string.

On the one hand, they will never allow Osman to continue to develop and become stronger. On the other hand, they must also ensure Osman's existence and provide him with all kinds of support.

Hamid, listen quietly.

He knew that his courtiers were definitely more biased towards the European powers. But at the same time, he was more biased towards Liu Zheng.

This makes everyone's position actually consistent.

"I think now is not the time."

But Hamid still kept his calm.

At this time, he had been the Ottoman emperor for a long time, and he no longer had the impetuousness and blind worship of Liu Zheng as before. He knew very well his responsibilities, he knew very well his mission, and he wanted to take over the whole country by himself.

Old Osman, stand up.
