Germany and the Kingdom of Persia signed an agreement on the oil development of Huzistein Province. ︾ The agreement stipulates that Germany provides funds, technology and equipment to develop oil in Huzistein Province. The proceeds obtained after oil output are made, Germany and Huzistein Province each account for half of the funds obtained. The funds obtained will be first used to repay the weapons and equipment purchased by the Kingdom of Persia from Germany.

Of course, in order to make the Persian Kingdom stronger, Germany will transport weapons and equipment to the Persian Kingdom after the agreement is signed. Among them, Germany will give the Persian Kingdom 200,000 rifles and 200 heavy machine guns for free. In addition, the Persian Kingdom will also purchase 200,000 rifles, 500 heavy machine guns, 500 mortars, 200 75mm field guns and 100 105mm light howitzers from Germany, with a total price of 10 million German Jinmaks. Now the Persian Kingdom has no money to pay, and can only wait until the oil in Huzistein Province is mined before slowly paying off the debt.

Just one month later, German merchant ships arrived in the Persian Kingdom, and a large number of weapons and equipment were transported to the Persian Kingdom. The army of the Persian Kingdom also began to change clothes one after another, and the officers of the German Empire who came with the ship also began to train the army of the Persian Kingdom. After all, it is not possible to transform an army with weapons, but they also need to master the methods and tactics of these weapons.

Compared with the modern army, the tactics of the Persian Kingdom remained decades ago. The main weapons were cold weapons such as bows and arrows and swords. Only a very small number of troops were equipped with muskets, and also book friends with old-fashioned bore guns. The number of breech guns is very rare, and only the guards stationed in the royal palace are equipped. Therefore, although the number of army troops in the Persian Kingdom is quite large, the combat power is extremely weak. Not to mention that it is the world's largest power like the Chinese Empire. Even their close neighbor, the Kingdom of Afghanistan, could probably defeat them.

The army of the Kingdom of Afghanistan was reorganized through the reorganization of the officers sent by the Chinese Empire. It had a total of 200,000 people, divided into 5 infantry troops and three independent brigades. For the Kingdom of Afghan, which has a population of only a few million, this was already a militaristic war. Without the support of the Chinese Empire, they would not be able to hold on. However, the current king of the Kingdom of Afghanistan, Akbarkhan, placed all his hopes on defeating the Persian Kingdom and annexing the entire Persian Kingdom. As long as the army of the Kingdom of Afghanistan could defeat the Persian Kingdom, they could develop the Kingdom of Afghanistan by enslaving more than 10 million Persians, making the Kingdom of Afghanistan stronger. Of course, the support of the Empire of China would be indispensable.

The Persian Kingdom purchased the weapons and equipment worth 10 million German Jinmaks from the German Empire. It was just the first batch. Subsequently, the Persian Kingdom was preparing to purchase another batch as a reserve of weapons and equipment. Once the Persian Kingdom really faced the invasion of the enemy, it would not be enough to rely on the current 300,000 people. At that time, they would have to arm as many troops as possible. The Persian Kingdom itself could not produce advanced weapons and equipment, and could only buy them out of the outside world. Apart from the German Empire, they had no channel to buy these advanced weapons.

In addition, geological experts and oil exploration workers from Germany also arrived in the Persian Kingdom and began to look for oil in the province of Huzistan. Although they were sure that there must be oil here, it was not so easy to find oil fields on the vast plains. All of this took time. Now, what the Persian Kingdom lacked was time. Their evil neighbors to the east had sharpened their knives to the Persian Kingdom.

Just when the Persian Kingdom was approaching the German Empire, Akbar Khan, the king of the Kingdom of Afghan Kingdom, also arrived at Huaxia, the capital of the Chinese Empire, and was preparing to further embrace the Chinese Empire's thighs. After a year of preparation, Akbar Khan believed that the army of the Kingdom of Afghan had undergone great changes. Although it could not be compared with the elite army of the Imperial Empire, it should be invincible in the West Asia region. Therefore, Akbar Khan urgently hoped that the Chinese Empire could fulfill the original agreement and support the Afghan Kingdom to march into the Persian Kingdom and annex the Persian Kingdom. At the beginning, in order to win over Akbar Khan, the Chinese Empire promised him to support him in becoming a caliph in the Islamic world. Of course, the prerequisite was that this caliph must be loyal to the Chinese Empire and be willing to act as a lackey of the Chinese Empire.

On May 28, 1857, Afghan King Akbar Khan, accompanied by Foreign Minister Wei Yuan, went to the palace to meet the Chinese Emperor Long Yufei. Imperial Prime Minister Lin Zihao and General Liu Zhongming, Chief of Staff, also attended the meeting.

"His Majesty the Great Chinese Emperor, your servant Akbar pays tribute to you!" After seeing Long Yufei, Akbar Khan was very humble and gave a big gift to Long Yufei. He knew that the Chinese Empire is now the only strong backing that the Afghan Kingdom can rely on. No matter what, the Afghan Kingdom must hold the Chinese Empire's thighs tightly.

"No gift, Your Majesty the King, please sit down!" Long Yufei smiled. Akbarkhan is a smart person. Long Yufei likes to deal with smart people the most. In this way, there is no need to be too much effort to speak.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Akbar Khan stood up from the ground and sat on the chair prepared for him. This time he came to China, Akbar Khan was greatly shocked. The prosperity of the Chinese Empire was not something Akbar Khan could imagine. Compared with the Chinese Empire, the Afghan Kingdom was simply a remote countryside. Even Kabul, the capital of the Afghan Kingdom, could not even catch up with a county of the Chinese Empire. This gap was too big. This also made Akbar Khan relieved the Chinese Empire. In his opinion, how could such a rich Chinese Empire look at the barren Afghan Kingdom? As long as the Afghan Empire always maintain respect for the Chinese Empire and act as a thug or a lackey of the Chinese Empire, then the Afghan Kingdom will not be in danger of destroying the country, and can even further develop and strengthen.

Akbar Khan had made up his mind to declare to his sons that they must be loyal to the Chinese Empire in the future. Only in this way can they guarantee their throne. Just as he turned to the Chinese Empire at the most critical moment and betrayed his father and younger brother. This made the later kings of the Afghan kingdom, even though they were in lewdness and injustice, insisted on their loyalty to the Chinese Empire. Therefore, even though they made the people live in poverty, with the support of the Chinese Empire, their king's position was still as stable as Mount Tai and no one could shake it.

"Akbar Khan, I heard that the Kingdom of Afghanistan is ready to attack the Persian Kingdom? Is your army ready? Can you ensure that you defeat the army of the Persian Kingdom?" Long Yufei asked. He knew that this time Akbar Khan's purpose was to request support from the Chinese Empire, so that they could launch an attack on the Persian Kingdom and eventually annex the Persian Kingdom.

"His Majesty the Emperor, the Afghan army is ready. The 200,000 troops have become first-class troops under the training of the officers from China. We are fully confident of defeating the Persian Kingdom!" Akbar Khan promised with his chest.

Long Yufei smiled and said nothing. Although the officers sent by the Chinese Army helped the army of the Afghan Kingdom train for a year. However, he had read the report submitted by the General Staff. The combat effectiveness of the army of the Afghan Kingdom was not as powerful as Akbar Khan boasted. Because of the low literacy rate, most of the troops of the Afghan Kingdom were illiterate, and they could not exert their maximum combat power in using advanced weapons of the Imperial Army. In particular, artillery soldiers, even after training for a year, were scary and low. They could only guarantee that they would not hit the shells on the heads of their own troops. As for whether they could hit the enemy, they might have to rely on the blessing of Allah.

"Chief of General Staff, what about your opinion?" Long Yufei looked at General Liu Zhongming, Chief of General Staff.

"Your Majesty, the army of the Kingdom of Afghanistan is indeed ready. If the opponent is the Kingdom of Persia, you should be able to win. However, the aid given by the Empire to the Kingdom of Afghanistan cannot be cut off. In addition, the Kingdom of Persia has not received support from other countries." General Liu Zhongming said.

"Well! Since this is the case, the Kingdom of Afghanistan is ready to launch an attack on the Kingdom of Persia! Akbar Khan, I wish your army can win, defeat the Persians, and become the overlord of West Asia!" Long Yufei said with a smile.

"Thank you for your support from His Majesty the Emperor. However, there is only one overlord in West Asia, that is the Chinese Empire. The Kingdom of Afghanistan will always be the most loyal servant of the Chinese Empire!" Akbar Khan said quickly. Although he was very excited, he was not confused yet. He knew that the support of the Chinese Empire was indispensable. Now is not the time to be complacent. Without the support of the Chinese Empire, the Kingdom of Afghanistan would be immediately defeated.

Long Yufei nodded, and Akbarkhan's answer made him very satisfied. After all, there are not many such smart people. He doesn't want him to support another ungrateful wolf.

After receiving support from the Chinese Empire, Akbar Khan quickly left the Chinese Empire and returned to the Kingdom of Afghanistan on a merchant ship. He needed to prepare for his return. The 200,000 Afghan Army who had been trained will be heading to the front line. In addition, various supplies transported from the Chinese Empire also need to be transported to the border. Just wait for the Chinese Empire to give orders, they will cross the border and attack the Kingdom of Persia. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
