Chapter 164: Persecution of Heretics

Even Tsarist Russia, which is known for its shamelessness among the European countries, has no bottom line, no credibility, and is always thinking about turning its back on people, ready to refresh the new understanding of shamelessness among the European countries, did not easily send troops after receiving Pitt's hint this time.

This is not because the Slav barbarians have grown up, but because of strategic considerations of Catherine II.

For her, sending troops to the Ottoman Empire is not the best solution now. Prussia and Austria have not performed well in dealing with France, especially Prussia. The army that was once famous and frightening in the hands of Frederick the Great has now declined beyond recognition.

In the previous partition of Poland, the current state of the Prussian army's decline was not shown, purely because the newly formed Polish army was much worse than the Prussian army, and the Prussian army had a numerical advantage, which prevented the tiger skin from being torn off.

However, as soon as the Prussian army fought with the French army, this disadvantage was clearly manifested. The quality of the Prussian army was completely unworthy of the honor that Frederick the Great had won with this army, which made Catherine II a little worried.

And this worry became more serious after Robespierre sent Dumouriez and Napoleon successively to basically suppress the rebellion in France except in the southwest, and once again stabilized the order in France.

In the last Russo-Turkish War, the Russian army suffered relatively large losses, and many experienced soldiers were buried on the battlefield, which reduced the overall quality of the Russian army.

The biggest hidden danger is more than that. The loss of officers also made Catherine very distressed. An army that lacks officers of sufficient level must have a lower combat power than before.

In addition, Napoleon's rampage in Ukraine last time caused heavy losses in the local area. Even though the war ended almost two years ago, this area still can't recover.

This means that once the war against the Ottoman Empire begins, food and a large amount of military supplies must be transported from the north and even Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Thinking of this, Catherine II could not help but hammer the armrest angrily. If it were not for Gustav III and the Swedes to attack in the north and threaten St. Petersburg, she could have mobilized a large number of troops to support Rumyantsev in the south, and this battle would not necessarily be lost.

Catherine II shook her head, waved to the ministers, and said.

"Reply to Little Pete, we must pay attention to the French Revolution and be ready to intervene at any time. We cannot afford the risk of going to war with the Ottoman Empire and preparing to intervene in the French Revolution at the same time.

Of course, if the British are willing to provide assistance, this is another matter. Performance"

The minister took the order and left, leaving Catherine II alone in the study.

The old queen rubbed her eyebrows tiredly. She would not be used as a gun by the British.

That pagan is still useful. The British have made arrangements in the Arabian Peninsula and will definitely not give up so easily.

After all, if she were the Sultan, she would never stop at putting the Bedouins under her control again. She would further devour Oman, no matter what the reason, anyway, it was a must.

Little Pitt was not stupid, it was impossible for him not to see the threat posed by the Ottoman Empire once again extending its tentacles to the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea, which was a major threat to the British - the old route.

Once the blasphemous alliance of the lily and the crescent united again. Britain would face a huge challenge.

At this time, Little Pitt could only rely on the great Tsarist Russia. The medieval Holy Roman Empire had lost Spain at this time, and it was difficult to say whether it could contain these two behemoths, but the current situation was different from that faced by Charles V of the Habsburgs.

The Holy Roman Empire did lose Spain, but there was a new empire to support it, the great Tsarist Russia.

The Queen thought confidently that as long as she joined forces with the Holy Roman Empire, plus the Kingdom of Prussia, she could completely suppress the Ottoman Empire and France, and the British only needed to provide funds at that time.

But, it is up to you to decide when to take action. If you want to help, Little Pete must show his sincerity first.

The queen smiled slightly. The beautiful face in the past (just follow the stills) has changed a lot under the polishing of time. The charm has disappeared from her face, replaced by dignity and bravery. As an emperor, you should plan before you act.

While the queen was planning before she acted, the great emperor in Baghdad took another attitude. As an emperor, you should move forward.

Due to the poor environment of the Arabian Peninsula, the army can only rely on oases to operate in it for a long time. The Ottoman Empire has relaxed its control over the Arab region for a long time, resulting in a complete lack of knowledge about the distribution of oases in the entire area controlled by the Delamayyeh Emirate.

Therefore, Muhammad Ali could only rely on the hand-painted desert border oasis distribution map of Damascus and the Bedouins on the border to carry out small-scale continuous attacks on the Delamayeh Emirate.

Until the arrival of the Shia, with the good intention of helping the Shia to avenge themselves, Emperor Sayyidun specially recruited a large number of Shia to do logistics and transportation.

What revenge? That's a question. In the original time and space, it was the Wahhabis who destroyed the Shia holy land of Karbala. With the intention of helping others, Emperor Sayyidun naturally had to help the Shia to resolve this threat in advance. Since it was the holy land of the Shia, it was reasonable for the Shia believers to help, right?

It can only be said that heretics are more hateful than pagans. This is not because Sayyidun is cruel by nature. The Sultan has always loved his people like his own children. Unfortunately, his officials always have bad intentions towards Shiites.

In this execution process, if there is any problem with Shiites, it is not Sayyidun's business.

The Sultan sat in the carriage and excused himself. He had left Baghdad and began to march towards Basra. He said that he would set up a net on three sides. Muhammad Ali would be here soon. How could he, as a Sultan, fall behind others?

In Damascus, Muhammad Ali once again summoned all the troops. He will march into the desert with all his strength.

His journey can be said to be the most dangerous. After all, the journey is the longest, the supply is the most difficult, and the harassment is the most, but he doesn't care.

The Sultan has sent him enough Shiites to use, and Haji Pasha has transported enough military supplies for him by ship. He has also contacted many nomadic tribes who are willing to lead the way. These people are groups that have been persecuted by the Wahhabis and can be trusted.

Everything is ready, except beheading the damned sheikh and his evil imam.

Muhammad Ali thought so and waved the flag.
