    Although the strength and vitality of the Ottoman Empire have been restored to a certain extent in recent years, relying on the plundering of slaves from Europe to make huge profits, it not only easily repaid the war indemnity against the Ming Empire, but also continued to expand its military power, and continued to expand its military power in Europe.  To expand westward, the Europeans who fought had to form a European coalition, which organized the Ottoman Empire to continue its westward expansion.

    On the one hand, we attach great importance to and develop firearms, produce and build them ourselves, and on the other hand, we purchase arms and weapons from the Ming Empire.

    It¡¯s just that the Ming Empire has always been on guard against the Ottoman Empire. Weapons are not willing to sell to the Ottoman Empire, but more to the Persian Empire, Egypt, Spain, etc.

    This also caused the Ottoman Empire to suffer a lot on the battlefield in the Middle East. The army composed of powerful new firearms was very lethal. In many cases, there were only a few thin rows of shooting echelons, but your cavalry was charging.  Don't go there.

    As for the cannons of the Ming Empire, they are even more powerful and powerful.

    Kansu II looked outside the main hall. Today he summoned Sun Ke, the ambassador of the Ming Empire to Egypt. However, he had been waiting for several hours and Sun Ke still didn't come.

He had been waiting for him for several hours, but there was still no one.

    "Please come again~"

    After venting his anger, Kansu II still had to calm down and ordered people to continue to invite Sun Ke.
