King Yong looked at Hamid's excitement and said, "Don't worry, we can talk about trains, but with the current industrial level of your Ottoman Empire, there is no way to mass-produce trains."
"We also need the support of Long Yan's technical team to transform the factory. Of course, you can choose to purchase the finished train directly from Long Yan."
"We are using Longyan's technical staff to assemble it in your Ottoman Empire. This is no small project."
"This kind of thing requires railway paving, the ground needs to be flat, at least the gap cannot be too big, and it requires various rectifications. The construction of a railway that is several kilometers long cannot be completed within three to five years."
"This time refers to our current construction speed of Dragon Flame."
"But given the current technological level of your Ottoman Empire, I can only say it's hard to say."
King Yong looked at Osman very seriously and said this. It was not that he was exaggerating, but that it was the truth.
This is also a hint to Hamid, which is a hint that King Yong hopes that Hamid will carry out reforms.
Hamid also heard the hidden meaning in King Yong's words.
He sighed deeply, but the current national conditions of the Ottoman Empire were here.
There is no way to take the best solution and make it yourself.
Although this would make a qualitative leap in the level of factories in the Ottoman Empire, Hamid had no way to do such a thing.
The Ottomans are now at a standstill.
Need something exciting.
Not only that, as the emperor of the Ottoman Empire, Hamid could most clearly feel the decline of the Ottoman Empire. Civil wars were now occurring frequently within the Ottoman Empire.
If railways and trains were built, it would give his army a huge advantage in combat.
This is something Hamid simply cannot ignore.
Thinking of this, Hamid sighed heavily and said: "King Yong, I must admit that you are very right, but we Ottomans have our own national conditions and have no choice."
"You can only choose the simplest and fastest method."
"I chose to import it from Longyan and assemble it directly in Osman." Hamid said solemnly.
Upon hearing this answer, King Yong sighed, looked at Hamid with great complexity, and shook his head.
Although the Ottoman Empire experienced the Industrial Revolution and developed, the system did not change as a result.
It is still a traditional monarchy.
King Yong knew exactly what Hamid said about the national conditions. Long Yan also experienced such a thing at the beginning, but fortunately Liu Zheng stood up at that time and carried out a series of reform measures, which allowed Long Yan to have current situation.
He also anticipated what Hamid was going to do with railroads and trains.
But that would simply treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. It would only be able to prolong the life of the Ottoman Empire for a period of time.
The destruction of the Ottoman Empire under the absolute monarchy was bound to happen.
But that is the Ottoman Empire's own business, and King Yong will not interfere too much in such matters.
King Yong could only look at Hamid and said calmly: "Okay, after this war is over, I will let people negotiate for you about the construction of the railway."
Hamid nodded.
…
At this time, the other side of Europe.
Tsarist Russia!
As a veteran European power, Tsarist Russia is still strong, although it suffered a complete defeat in the battle with Long Yan.
But this did not dampen the fighting spirit of the Russians.
After being defeated by the Long Yan Army, Tsarist Russia vigorously developed its own cavalry. Today, the number of Cossack cavalry has exceeded 30,000.
This number is already very scary.
After all, it is very difficult for Tsarist Russia to train a Cossack cavalry.
However, such cavalry power did not allow Tsarist Russia to achieve much victory in the European battlefield.
They met Long Yanjun.
Met the Liangzhou cavalry!
At this time, Moscow.
Elizabeth was in the palace in Moscow, looking at the map of Europe at a loss.
The current battlefield situation is already very unfavorable for them.
Especially now, since the Long Yan Army captured Polnev and obtained various combat victories from Poland, their Tsarist Russian army had to retreat to the vicinity of the Polish port.
This was a very heavy blow to Tsarist Russia.
Queen Elizabeth I stared at the map and said in a deep voice: "Now we must find a way. This war will continue. We have not gotten what we want."
She turned her head and looked at the two conservative family spokespersons, Dolgoruky and Naresh. These two families are also the most important power components in Tsarist Russia.
With a great say in power, Osilev and Elizabeth I can work together to balance the two families.
All three of them have conflicts and interests.
However, the opinions of the three parties at this moment are highly unified. Tsarist Russia has indeed reached its most critical moment.
They must expand their territory and cannot huddle here.
Without a frost-free port, they would be trapped on the mainland and languish.
Queen Elizabeth I set her sights on Naresh, stared at him, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Naresh, you understand war. How can you see this war now?"
"How should we, Tsarist Russia, continue in this war?"
Naresh stared at the map. The current situation was already in chaos and was very unfavorable for Tsarist Russia's attack.
He sighed: "I think that right now, Tsarist Russia must join forces with its allies as soon as possible."
"Now that the Austrian troops are still in Poland, I think we can pass the Oder River and join the Allies to march towards Berlin."
"But if we do this, we need to directly face the attack of the Long Yan Army. This river is now controlled and occupied by the Long Yan Army."
After hearing these words, Elizabeth I's originally very bright eyes dimmed a bit, as they faced a head-on battlefield confrontation.
They are not afraid of any enemy, but they are afraid of the Dragon Flame Army.
On the battlefield, the Tsarist Russian army was defeated not once or twice by Long Yan's army, but countless battles.
In the battle against Long Yan's army, they rarely saw any hope of victory.
Thinking of this, Elizabeth I said with a complicated expression: "Morale is low now. I heard that the terrifying legend of the Dragon Flame Army has even been spread among the army. This is not a good thing, Your Excellency Naresh."
"If we don't stop such rumors, the troops will be timid against the Long Yan Army."
"There will be no way we can win."
Naresh nodded. This is what he is doing now. He also knows that the Tsarist Russian troops that have been defeated by the Long Yan Army have no ability to complete their plans.
If you can't fight the Long Yan Army, allying with the Austrian Army to attack Poland is just empty talk!
