Chapter 3653
"When the construction of the route is completed, the strength of the Ottoman Empire, which has a strong transportation route, will definitely go further!"
Hamid nodded, indeed with the train, their transportation route will be more powerful.
The current construction of train lines directly radiates to the Polish battlefield.
For the Long Yan Army, the railway is a transportation line and a life support line. When the railway is completed, they will have an unrivaled combat force on the Polish battlefield.
At that time, the Franco-Austrian-Russian alliance will face a Dragon Flame Army that is well-supplied and capable of fighting for a long time.
"King Yong, I also heard that Long Yan is currently researching a kind of train carriage, which is said to be able to transport a large amount of supplies. I wonder if we, the Ottomans, can equip such a carriage." Hamid said shamelessly.
King Yong chuckled: "The carriage you mentioned does exist, but now Long Yan is still in the research and development stage, and the equipment will have to wait a while."
King Yong did not continue the following topic.
After receiving this answer that was not an answer, Hamid smiled and continued to chat with King Yong.
Now in Europe and Western Europe, wars continued during the Winter War, and many countries were in financial crisis.
They had to adjust their strategies, make a temporary truce, and usher in a short-term peace.
On the Eastern European side, there has never been any major progress on the battlefield here. Whether it is Tsarist Russia or Austria, or they, Longyan and Ottoman, are all in a delicate balance.
No one tried to break this balance.
But they all know that this situation cannot last long and will eventually be broken.
The battlefield that Austria is now focusing on is Silisili. They have retaken Silisili. Although the plan to attack Berlin has gone bankrupt, this does not mean that all battles are over.
Tsarist Russia didn't know what it was planning and didn't take any action.
"No matter how the battlefield situation changes in the future, the railway is the basis for us to cope with future changes. We need to speed up the progress." King Yong said in a deep voice.
"We need more labor and the cooperation of more factories."
Faced with King Yong's request, Hamid thought for a while.
The Ottoman Empire is still an autocratic monarchy, and the need for more labor means that some people need to stop farming and enter factories.
However, the current Ottoman structure still relies on traditional agriculture to maintain the basic operation of domestic life, and the industrial system is not perfect.
Moreover, most of the land in the Ottoman Empire was controlled by the nobles, who held a large amount of land in their hands.
If more farmers are expropriated to work in factories, their land will have no one to take care of it, which will directly affect their interests.
It is bound to cause resistance from these nobles.
However, as King Yong said, the railway will be their cornerstone in the future, and with the railway they will be able to achieve faster development.
"Why, is your Majesty in any trouble?" King Yong asked directly.
Hamid rubbed his forehead. He was sitting in the emperor's seat. As the most powerful person in the Ottoman country, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness at this time.
Industrial reforms are necessary, and these nobles who rely on imperial power should be restricted.
"Oh, it's nothing, King Yong. I will take care of this matter."
King Yong saw Hamid's dilemma. This scene was very familiar. Long Yan had been like this for a while.
This is due to the backwardness of the system. Because the entire country is highly centralized, the society is still an agricultural society and wants to progress to an industrial society.
It will touch the interests of many nobles, and these nobles are born with power. Hamid is the most powerful person in the Ottomans.
If he wants to reform, he needs to consider his own interests and the interests of the nobles who depend on him for their survival.
