After leaving the presidential palace, Zhao Gang did not dare to neglect and immediately met with Zhu Erdian, the Minister of Eagle Country.

When Zhu Erdian learned that Shen Hao wanted to uphold justice and avenge the Armenians, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

If Shen Hao simply dislikes Turkey and wants to deal with it, then Eagle Country is in favor of it.

After all, both the Ottoman Empire (Türkiye) and Germany were members of the Central Powers. and Eagle Country itself are enemies.

However, going to the Middle East made Eagle Country nervous.

This is a colony of the Eagle Country. What does the Republic of China want to do?

Zhu Erdian said:"General Zhao, I don't think the Republic of China needs to take action on this matter. We, the Eagle Country, can do it ourselves.

After all, the Middle East is a matter between us and the Ottoman Empire.

We will handle it."

Zhao Gang said:"I'm just here. I'm informing you, I'm not discussing this with you."

Zhu Erdian was out of breath after just one sentence.

But without knowing the specific purpose of the Republic of China, he did not dare to agree randomly.

We can only postpone it temporarily and let the cabinet have a headache.

Thinking of this, Zhu Erdian said:"General Zhao, do you always do things without considering the consequences?"

Zhao Gang said:"What consequences? Did we take action against India? This is the greatest respect.

When you were in 23 our Tibetan areas, New Areas and other places But a lot of things have happened, and we haven’t said anything yet."

Zhu Erdian said again:"Okay, let’s not talk about this topic now. We don’t know the purpose of your Republic of China for the time being. I will give you the answer after I reply to the cabinet."

"No problem, Minister Zhu Erdian, I will give you one day and I will come to you again tomorrow.

If you can't give me a definite answer, then we won't talk nonsense, but will drive the warship directly to the door."

Being threatened like this, Zhu Erdian gritted his teeth with hatred.

But he couldn't say anything, so he could only express his feelings with a cold snort. Dissatisfied, he turned around and left.

After returning to the mansion, Zhu Erdian immediately expressed the Republic of China's intentions to the Yingguo cabinet.

When the Yingguo cabinet heard that the Republic of China wanted to enter the Middle East, it immediately exploded.

All the think tanks and members of the Republic of China began to discuss it. In the end, everyone reached the same conclusion, that is, oil.

Oil is called"black gold". Especially during this world war, on the smoke-filled battlefields of Europe, oil was indispensable everywhere. With the application of the internal combustion engine, it has gradually become the blood of the naval fleet, and fuel-powered cars have gradually replaced horses.

New weapons have appeared on the battlefield, such as tanks and aircraft, all of which are inseparable from fuel.

Without oil , the steel behemoth is just scrap metal.

As the war continues, all countries have a consensus that oil is the next generation's strategic resource.

The Ottoman Empire, known as the"sick man of West Asia", is already in turmoil. Under its rule, the poor and backward Middle East was a place that no one paid attention to.

But since the discovery of oil in the Middle East, its status immediately changed. Britain, which smelled the oil, immediately formulated its greedy plunder Plan.

The Middle East, which is full of desolate deserts, has lost its peace in the past and is ringing with rumbling gunfire.

During this world war, Britain has been righteously accusing Germany of being the aggressor. This"sunset never sets" empire. , which inch of its colony was not obtained through aggression.

At this time, the Republic of China has to stand up for the Armenians, and the Armenians are in the Caucasus, where there happens to be a Baku oil field.

According to statistics, the output of the Baku oil field is the highest in the world , oil production accounted for almost half of the world's oil production in 1901.

This is the reason for the war between Tsarist Russia and Turkey.

Now controlled by Tsarist Russia, now that Tsarist Russia has been defeated, this place has become the focus of the world.

The Allies originally lacked Oil, after several years of fighting, the Allied Powers have almost run out of oil.

Everyone wants to get the Baku oil field.

Originally, the British had already thought about it. This was the territory of the Allied Powers, and privately they had made plans with France to carve up the Middle East.

Now Well, a Republic of China suddenly appeared.

On the surface, it was to help the Armenians, but behind the scenes, its purpose was not to want the Baku oil fields in the Caucasus.

After figuring out the logic behind it, the British cabinet understood the intentions of the Republic of China.

This Even if the Baku oil field is destroyed, it cannot be given to the Republic of China.

However, the final step has not yet been reached, so the British cabinet immediately asked Minister Zhu Erdian to continue the negotiations. The

Republic of China must not be allowed to interfere here.

After learning the bottom line given by the United Kingdom, Zhu Erdian felt It’s all figured out.

I also secretly hate the ambitions of the Republic of China.

It’s really insidious. It just caused trouble in Southeast Asia and it hasn’t subsided. Now it’s better, and its hands have reached out to the Middle East.

What’s more important is that this time The opportunity was really great.

Britain, France and other countries simply couldn't get away to deal with the Republic of China.

The United States was a neutral country and was unwilling to participate in the war. It just sat back and watched the fight between tigers and tigers.

There was really nothing that could be done against the Republic of China.

The next day, Zhu Erdian went to see Zhao Gang early in the morning.

Zhu Erdian said:"We in the British Empire already know the intentions of the Republic of China. We will firmly resist your departure to the Caucasus. This is an enemy of the entire Allied Powers."

Zhao Gang shrugged. Now that he had said it, he did not hide it and said with a smile:"In this case, we have to negotiate with Tsarist Russia.

It is said that Tsarist Russia also plans to sacrifice a lot of things in order to withdraw from this battle. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Since you, the UK, do not agree, then We will cooperate with Germany to develop the Baku oil field."

Zhu Erdian's face changed and he said hurriedly:"That's not possible. We must not cooperate with Germany. Germany is a shameless invader."

Zhao Gang was amused:"Is your British colony a It fell from the sky.

Don't be a bitch and still build archways, it's disgusting.

It's just a smile at fifty and a hundred steps at a time. The attitude of our Republic of China 273 is here. If you don't agree, then we will find Germany to cooperate."

Zhu Erdian hurriedly He said:"Director Zhao has something to discuss. We can still negotiate. What's the rush?

If the Republic of China is willing to make concessions, we can continue to talk."

This time Zhu Erdian was really afraid of the cooperation between the Republic of China and Germany.

Once the Republic of China cooperated with Germany, the blow to Britain would be really great.

This is definitely not what the UK wants to see at the moment.

For this, Britain has given up its interests in Southeast Asia.

Now Britain only wants to end the war, and in turn is cleaning up the Republic of China.

Unfortunately, it's really difficult.

If, because of Zhu Erdian, the cooperation between the Republic of China and Germany was accelerated, he would not be able to escape the blame even if he was sent to a military court.

Looking at Zhu Erdian who was a little anxious, Zhao Gang couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly and laughed.

Immediately, he revealed his true purpose

"I heard that you and France signed an agreement to carve up the Middle East, called the Sykes-Picot Agreement."

Zhu Erdian was stunned and said hurriedly:"This matter is very secret, how did you know about it?"

Zhao Gang said:"Tsarist Russia knows it, and of course we know it too. Since you don't want us to interfere in the Baku oil fields, then our Republic of China must also join the"Sykes-Picot Agreement" and carve up the Middle East together.

You Europeans can't be allowed to eat alone. We Asians can't even drink soup."[]
