Another World: Naval Storm

After the pleasant trip in Ottoman Empire, the fleet went to visit Osmagali Empire. Compared with Itli, Osmagali Empire is a real ally that can support each other. The main ethnic groups of the two countries are descendants of Teutonic people, speaking the same language, and they were briefly merged into one country in history. Osmagali Empire welcomed the visit of the fleet.

The allied Rios Magali Empire and the Iteli Kingdom have had hatred for hundreds of years, and now they are united because of external pressure. They have fought several battles with the Drak Empire before, but now their relationship is the best.

The Osmagali Empire is also expanding its military, and its military enterprises have cooperated with the Drake Empire's Kruber Company to produce new artillery and the like. Now Osmagali has the intention to purchase warships, and the Drake Empire is happy to see this happen.

After all, it is not easy for the Drake Empire to march directly into the Mediterranean, and it would be much safer to have Osmagali watching over it. With a population of 6500 million, the great country of Ounebaroa can already influence the situation in Neba to a certain extent.

In the banquet, these officers were not the protagonists. After all, Lieutenant General Boll, who held the highest military rank, was just a foil here. Osmagali mainly entertained Envoy Drake.

"The Draks don't want us to take action against the Ottoman Empire. The envoy's words imply that they want to win the support of the Ottoman Empire, the sick man of Europe." said Emperor Franz II of the Ottoman Empire.

"How domineering! We have been preparing for so long, are we just going to give up like this?" Crown Prince Karl was very unwilling.

The Ottomans, Osmagalis, and Russians have been fighting for decades on the powder keg of the Khaimos Peninsula. Now that the Ottomans are declining and have not gained any advantage in fighting the Russians, Osmagalis intends to take the opportunity to completely drive the Ottomans out of the Khaimos Peninsula. This plan was formulated and implemented by Crown Prince Karl. If the plan succeeds, he will get the biggest political achievement before he ascends the throne.

"The Russians have been competing with us for the leadership of the Khaymos Peninsula. Without the support of the Drak Empire, we will have no foothold on the Khaymos Peninsula." Franz II knew clearly what was more important. Without the support of the Drak Empire, the Russians would swallow up the Khaymos Peninsula without hesitation.

"Are the Ottomans qualified to be our allies now? A backward country that is on the verge of disintegration, even if it is large in size, has no combat power!" Carl still felt that the Drakes had chosen the wrong ally.

"The collapse of the Ottoman Empire may not be a good thing for us. Serbia, Bulgaria, and Greece may become stronger because of it, and then we will be in even greater trouble!"

"Klaus is absolutely right. We and the Ottomans have a common enemy, and that is the Russians." Franz II said in a deep voice.

"That's right. Without the support of the Russians, how dare Serbia go against us!"

"William passed a first-class letter to me through Klaus. He said that as long as we defeat the Russians, the entire Haimos Peninsula will be handed over to us and the Ottomans. If we can really rule together with the Ottomans, what's wrong with that?" Franz explained patiently.

"But they are indeed too weak. A few small countries on the Haimos Peninsula can hold them back!"

"Isn't that good? The Ottomans only need to completely block the strait to prevent the Russians from getting any assistance. If they are too strong, it will be difficult to share the spoils after the war!" Franz II sneered.

Originally, the Haimos Peninsula was the Ottomans' powerful territory. It was only because of their decline that the Osmagali, Rakshasas, Tarun and Franks had the opportunity to enter this area. Overall, the Ottomans are still the most powerful force in this area.

The Ottomans and the Russians fought many wars, and the two sides fought more than ten large-scale wars. As for small-scale wars, there are countless. Moreover, there are many Southern Russians in the Khaymos Peninsula. They are of the same origin as the Eastern Russians of the Russian Empire. The Russians have a reason to expand their influence here under this banner. The Russian Empire supports Serbia under the banner that they are Russians. The Russians think that they are the boss of the Russians and should be responsible for them. What this means is that the territories where the Russians live are their sphere of influence.

Coincidentally, the Bosnian crisis broke out in 1903, and the Ottoman Empire annexed the Bosnia-Herzegovina region by force. This move seriously affected Serbia's expansion. Serbia, backed by the Russians, was very dissatisfied and began to have friction with the Ottoman Empire.

The Osmagari Empire is a dual monarchy. The Osmagari Emperor is also the King of the Huns. In name, the two are one country, but in reality, they have their own parliaments and governments. The loose organizational structure makes this country not as strong as it seems.

The domestic military lacks cohesion due to its ethnic mix and has major problems in command and coordination, which directly affects its combat effectiveness.

"The Drak people want to recruit the Ottomans, and we agreed, but there must be benefits!" Crown Prince Karl saw that he had to make the request at the same time.

"The Drak people are willing to help us build our navy. This time your wish has come true!" Franz II, like the previous Osmagali rulers, did not attach much importance to the navy. Before 1900, the entire Osmagali Empire Navy did not have a warship of more than 6000 tons. Anyway, Crown Prince Karl liked big ships and cannons.

"Then I have to have a good talk with Special Envoy Klaus. How can the Osmagali Empire be without a dreadnought as a facade?" Crown Prince Karl went to find Klaus in a hurry.

"Envoy Claus, I wonder if your country is willing to sell the blueprints of the dreadnought. We are also willing to purchase two dreadnoughts." Carl is not trying to get something for nothing, so the order can be given to the Drake people first.

"Your Highness, this is not for sale to the Russians and Ottomans, but as brother countries, the Empire is willing to achieve mutual benefit with the Osmagali Empire!" Klaus said without hesitation.

This is also one of the purposes of visiting Osmagali. It has rich natural resources, including a coal output of 4920 million tons. Its strong agricultural and industrial production capabilities can complement the Drake Empire. The military industry of the Osmagali Empire is also very developed and can produce the most advanced heavy artillery in Europe, but its military production capacity is limited.

Just as the two of them were toasting, an officer from the Osmagali Empire broke into the banquet and accidentally knocked down several waiters. Everyone stopped talking and looked at this man. Crown Prince Karl wanted to exile this rude officer to the border immediately.

"In the Far East, Japan launched a surprise attack on the Russians!" The officer, who had recovered his breath, dropped a bombshell.
