Chapter 82 What Do You Think I Care About? (First Order)

The Sultan obviously didn't believe that Aladdin Pasha still had the strength to collude with people inside the empire.

In this case, Ishak Pasha and Yusuf Pasha would naturally not insist on their own opinions. The two of them could sit in this room, not that they had no emotional intelligence.

Selim continued.

"According to the news from Muhammad Ali Pasha, the other side's configuration is almost the same as that of the French army.

Moreover, a cavalry of a thousand men may not be able to be assembled even if all the former governor's guards in the entire Cilicia region are added together.

Moreover, Muhammad Ali Pasha had already eliminated many bandits before.

Or, the Kozan family was resentful of Muhammad Ali Pasha for executing his son-in-law, and wanted to take revenge on my dear general or me in the name of Aladdin?"

The Sultan was still laughing at this time. If it were someone else, they might not have understood what the Sultan meant.

However, for Ishak Pasha, who had been the Sultan's teacher, and Yusuf Pasha, who had been ups and downs in the officialdom for decades, they knew too well what kind of person this Sultan was.

A typical patient with severe paranoia, it can be said that in the entire Ottoman Empire, there are only two people that the Sultan can fully trust.

One is the Sultan's biological mother, Mrs. Michodelpa, and the other is Anna, the daughter of Patriarch Nicholas.

Even the spy leader who was picked up by the Sultan from the Egyptian slave market seemed to be suspected by the Sultan some time ago.

But the Sultan has always only believed in his own analysis. According to Ishak Pasha's experience, if you use alibis to prove that you didn't do it physically, you can't convince him at all.

As for how to break this situation, Ishak Pasha naturally knows the secret, which is to use a complete and rigorous set of logical reasoning to prove that there is no motive for doing this.

After brainstorming for a while, Ishak Pasha began his performance.

"Your Majesty, the reason why I didn't bring up the Kozan family to you right away is because I don't think they have this motive at all.

First of all, in terms of position, we are all your subjects, defenders of the New Order, supporting your reforms and following your decrees, and Muhammad Ali Pasha upholds your will. Who has the courage to challenge the great Sultan?

Secondly, in terms of strength, after you issued the "Royal Edict", many families in the empire almost disbanded their own private soldiers, and it is impossible for them to have the strength to attack Muhammad Ali Pasha.

Then in terms of logic, it has been less than a week since Muhammad Ali Pasha killed the son-in-law of the Kozan family, and Muhammad Ali Pasha is still in the original sphere of influence of the Kozan family. I don't think the patriarch of a big family will do such an unwise act."

After the three axes came out, Ishak Pasha, who thought he had mastered it, found that the Sultan was still staring at him, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Obviously, this trick doesn't seem to work.

Ishak Pasha was a little panicked. He knew that if he was investigated, he really couldn't stand the investigation.

You have to know that the tone of Chief Kozan when he spoke to him was not as if he had not participated in anything. It is possible that this guy was the one who released the marching route of Muhammad Ali Pasha.

Although only the Imperial General Staff and the Ministry of Finance knew the specific situation, as a local snake, the Kozan family would not know the marching route of Muhammad Ali.

Thinking that Mrs. Michodelpa was standing behind him, Ishak Pasha decided to tell everything. Even if the Kozan family really did it, for the sake of the Chapan family and his face, this matter would not be a capital crime.

Moreover, this matter may not be done by the Kozan family. Maybe the other party just knew about it and did not report it.

Ishak did not believe that Kuchuk was not jealous of Haji Pasha's winning over Muhammad Ali Pasha and then obtaining a position similar to that of an imperial envoy.

After sorting out his thoughts, Ishak Pasha spoke.

"Your Majesty, actually..."

However, Ishak Pasha was interrupted by Selim before he finished speaking.

Selim felt a little funny. In fact, he didn't care about it at all.

The reason was simple, because Muhammad Ali Pasha won the battle.

For Selim, the only thing about this battle was the Sultan's dignity.

If Muhammad Ali Pasha lost in this attack, Selim would be very angry.

After all, the Sultan's people were killed in his own territory. Where would the Sultan's face be?

But the result was that Muhammad Ali Pasha won the battle.

After the Sultan's dignity was protected or promoted, was there anything else worth caring about for the Sultan?

The armies of the two warring parties were the governor's private soldiers and the Sipahi cavalry. Neither of them was Selim's trusted troops.

In this case, the battle between the two sides was a process of mutual consumption for Emperor Selim.

He didn't care about the number of casualties at all. Anyway, he didn't feel sorry at all.

The Sultan waved his hand, indicating that Ishak Pasha didn't need to say anything more, but raised another question.

"Compared to this conjecture, I am more concerned about why you think that Aladdin Pasha colluded with certain people in the country?"

Ishak Pasha and Yusuf Pasha looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty, this is related to the second question you want to ask.

A few days ago, Roland wrote to me to explain Ali's deposit in France.

The money was placed in several different private banks, and the amount was huge.

Because he had been on guard against Robespierre for some time, and there were also a series of events such as the king's escape and the Paris riots, he did not have much energy to care about this matter.

But he still made a call and had the funds frozen.

But when he wanted to withdraw the deposit recently, he found that two of these banks had already gone bankrupt, and these two banks happened to have the largest amount.

In this case, Roland checked the identities behind these banks and found that they were all small-scale credit banks registered by Venetians.

As for the reasons for bankruptcy, the reasons given by these small-scale credit banks were also quite simple.

According to them, during several riots, Parisians attacked the bank and looted the bank vault, resulting in a large amount of bank reserves being lost, and the assets were not enough to cover the debts, so they went bankrupt.

This is the news Roland passed on. "

Selim pondered for a while and said.

"You mean that the money has been taken away, right? "

Ishak Pasha and Yusuf Pasha nodded.

"Your Majesty, this is exactly why we think that Aladdin colluded with certain people in the country.

After all, apart from him, no one would be willing to spend such a large sum of money to do such a stupid trick as the attack. "

Although Ishak Pasha and Yusuf Pasha were still describing the reasons why they thought it was Aladdin.

But Selim was already in a trance at this time.

He couldn't get the money, so he had to think of a new way to get the money. After all, the empire's industrialization plan was very expensive. It was time to bring out Liszt's ideas.

Some book friends asked me for the data. Uh, 800 readers have been read so far, and the first order is 260. I feel it's hard to get more than 500.
