King Yong looked at Hamid's excitement and said, "Don't worry, we can talk about trains, but with the current industrial level of your Ottoman Empire, there is no way to mass-produce trains."
"We also need the support of Long Yan's technical team to transform the factory. Of course, you can choose to purchase the finished train directly from Long Yan."
"We are using Longyan's technicians to assemble it in your Ottoman Empire. This is no small project."
"This kind of thing requires railway paving, the ground needs to be flat, at least the gap cannot be too big, and it requires various rectifications. The construction of a railway that is several kilometers long cannot be completed in three to five years."
"This time refers to our current construction speed of Dragon Flame."
"But given the current technological level of your Ottoman Empire, I can only say it's hard to say."
King Yong looked at Osman very seriously when he said these words. It was not that he was exaggerating, but that it was the truth.
This is also a hint to Hamid, which is a hint that King Yong hopes that Hamid will carry out reforms.
Hamid also heard the underlying meaning in King Yong's words.
He sighed deeply, but the current national conditions of the Ottoman Empire are here.
There is no way to adopt the best solution and make it yourself.
Although this would make a qualitative leap in the level of factories in the Ottoman Empire, Hamid was unable to do such a thing.
The Ottomans are now at a standstill.
Need some stimulation.
Not only that, as the emperor of the Ottoman Empire, Hamid could most clearly feel the decline of the Ottoman Empire. Civil wars were now occurring frequently within the Ottoman Empire.
If railways and trains are built, it will give his army a huge advantage in battle.
This is something Hamid cannot ignore at all.
Thinking of this, Hamid sighed heavily and said: "King Yong, I must admit that you are very right, but we, the Ottomans, have our own national conditions and have no choice."
"You can only choose the simplest and fastest method."
"I chose to import it from Longyan and assemble it directly in Osman." Hamid said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this answer, King Yong sighed, looked at Hamid with great complexity, and shook his head.
Although the Ottoman Empire experienced the Industrial Revolution and developed, the system did not change as a result.
It is still a traditional monarchy.
King Yong knew exactly what Hamid said about the national conditions. Long Yan also experienced such a thing at the beginning, but fortunately Liu Zheng stood up at that time and carried out a series of reform measures, which allowed Long Yan to have
The current situation.
He also anticipated what Hamid was going to do with railroads and trains.
But doing so is simply treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, and can only prolong the life of the Ottoman Empire for a period of time.
The destruction of the Ottoman Empire under the absolute monarchy was bound to happen.
But that is the Ottoman Empire's own business, and King Yong will not interfere too much in such matters.
King Yong could only look at Hamid and said calmly: "Okay, after this war is over, I will let people negotiate for you about the construction of the railway."
Hamid nodded.
...
At this time, the other side of Europe.
Tsarist Russia!
As a veteran European power, Tsarist Russia is still strong, even though it suffered a complete defeat in the battle with Long Yan.
