As the world hegemon, the Sun Never Sets Empire naturally does not want other countries to become strong and threaten their hegemonic status.

Add to this the location of the Empire where the sun never sets, and the fact that they have the most powerful navy in the world. Therefore, no matter how hard the whole of Europe and even the whole world fights, it is none of their business to fight into mountains of corpses and rivers of blood.

Even they wish it did.

In this way, their supremacy will not be threatened by anyone.

Allowing Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire to unite against the Russian Empire was undoubtedly the best way that the sun could think of to deal with the Russian Empire.

It is foreseeable that once the two countries joined forces to go to war with the Russian Empire. Then the war will not only break out in the Balkans. If not, war will also break out in the Central European Plain and the Caucasus.

It would be great if other allies of Austria-Hungary, other allies of the Russian Empire, were dragged into the war.

The empire can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Wait until both sides have lost and are exhausted, and then come forward to clean up the mess.

Their hegemonic position will be more stable.

Soon, Prime Minister Robert Cecil summoned the ambassadors of Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire to the Japanese Empire to express to them his concern about the situation in the Balkans, and directly expressed his opposition and dissatisfaction with the invasion of the Balkans by the Russian Empire, as well as his support for Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire.

Prime Minister Robert Cecil is also Foreign Secretary. Therefore, he was also responsible for the diplomatic work of the Sun Never Sets Empire.

Prime Minister Robert Cecil claimed that the Empire was very dissatisfied with the actions of the Russian Empire. However, due to well-known relations, they would not personally go to war with the Russian Empire. However, they were willing to provide other support to Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire. And, it was officially proposed that Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire unite against the Russian Empire.

Although the Austro-Hungarian leadership had reached an agreement to prepare for war with the Russian Empire.

But the great strength of the Russian Empire also worried the top of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, fearing that it would lose the war.

And even more so for the Ottoman Empire, which was originally a feud with the Russian Empire. Now, the expansion of the Russian Empire into the Balkans directly poses a huge threat to them, which can be said to have touched their counterscales.

But unfortunately, the strength of the Ottoman Empire declined too quickly, while the Russian Empire became more and more powerful. They have the intention to kill thieves, but they are powerless to return to heaven!

Now, the proposal of the people of the sun never sets that Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire join forces against the Russian Empire is undoubtedly good news for them.

Although the Russian Empire was powerful, the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires were not muddy.

If the two countries can join forces, even the Russian Empire cannot easily defeat them.

This made the two ambassadors report to the country, and the top level of the two countries attached great importance to the news.

Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph I and Ottoman Sultan Abdulhamid II were very moved by this proposal.

Although, at the height of the former Ottoman Empire, it once swept through most of Europe. And the predecessor of Austria-Hungary, the Austrian Empire, was even more resistant to the iron heel of the Ottoman Empire.

The two countries also fought for hundreds of years, with countless casualties.

But now, for the sake of a common enemy and common interests, the two old enemies of the past also have hope of joining forces.

This fully proves that there are no permanent enemies in the world, only permanent interests.

Baron Berhidold, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Austria-Hungary, secretly went to Istanbul to communicate with the Ottoman side and discussed the joint treatment of the Russian Empire by the two sides.

The Ottoman Empire naturally hoped to defeat the Tsarist Empire and thwart the Russian Empire’s ambitions for external expansion.

Over the past two hundred years, the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire have fought ten wars. However, the Russian Empire became stronger and stronger, and its territory became larger and larger. The Ottoman Empire, on the other hand, became weaker and weaker, and its territory became smaller and smaller.

If they did not thwart the ambitions of the Russian Empire, they feared that the Russian Empire would continue to expand outward. At that time, won’t they become the target of the external expansion of the Russian Empire?

In dealing with the Russian Empire, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire can be described as a hit.

After a short period of negotiations, the two sides reached a consensus on this issue.

The Ottoman Empire promised that after the Austro-Hungarian and Tsarist empires fought, their troops would march from Rumilia and Asia Minor to Bulgaria and the Caucasus, respectively, to contain part of the Russian army.

Austria-Hungary also promised that in this battle they would do everything in their power to attack the Russian Empire and strive to defeat it.

As for the Balkans, after the end of the war, it was restored to its previous state. However, the Kingdom of Bulgaria would be restored and become a protectorate of Austria-Hungary.

After the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires reached an agreement, they accelerated their preparations for war.
