After confirming the arms deals between the governors and governors of the South, the East China Government did not care much about the affairs of the South. After all, the East China Government now has many things. In addition to the formal economic and industrial construction, the main thing of the East China Government is still in foreign affairs.

First of all, of course, it is still in the northwest direction. The East China Government also had a result of the persuasion of Cen Chunxuan and the Seventh-generation Living Buddha. Cen Chunxuan and Zhangjia Living Buddha issued a positive response to the persuasion of the East China Government, both expressed their willingness to join the East China Government to avoid the intention of war, but both sides also put forward their own requirements. Cen Chunxuan asked himself to serve as the chief executive of Gansu and Xinjiang provinces, and have independent financial and administrative power, as well as military power.

The requirements of Zhangjia Living Buddha are more and more high. Not only does it require the original political system of Qinghai to remain unchanged, and Qinghai is allowed to be autonomous. In addition, the East China Government cannot interfere within the scope of Qinghai's autonomy. Of course, Qinghai must be consistent with the East China Government. Moreover, the East China Government shall not station troops in Qinghai, and the troops guarding Qinghai are formed by Qinghai themselves. If there are external troubles, Qinghai will resist it on its own. If assistance is needed, Qinghai will ask the East China Government for assistance; Qinghai will be appointed by the Qinghai officials themselves and request the East China Government to appoint it, but the East China Government has no right to interfere. The East China Government can dispatch personnel stationed in Qinghai, but no more than 30 people, and they will not interfere in Qinghai's government affairs, etc.

It can be said that the conditions proposed by Cen Chunxuan and Zhangjia Living Buddha are very excessive. Because it is the conditions for Zhangjia Living Buddha, not only is Qinghai actually independent, but the East China Government's management of it is much worse than that of the Qing Dynasty. Naturally, the East China Government will not agree, because the East China Government will never allow administrative and economic independence within its jurisdiction. Moreover, the East China Government is in a strong position now, so it is even more impossible to accept such conditions.

However, negotiation is a bargaining process, so it is understandable that the other party first offers a high price, that is, asking for a price everywhere and paying it back locally. What's more, Cen Chunxuan and Zhangjia Living Buddha are not entirely representing themselves at this time, but representing a huge interest group.

Although Cen Chunxuan was defeated by the People's Army and retreated to Lanzhou, he was the governor of Gansu and Shaanxi, and there was a new king personally entrustment. Therefore, at this time, the main officials in the northwest, including He Yansheng, the governor of Xinjiang in Gansu, Wei Guangtao, the governor of Xinjiang Province, Yang Zengxin, the general of Yili Guangfu, and the minister of Xining Service Qingshu, the main officials in the northwest, still regarded Cen Chunxuan as the co-rule. At the same time, there were also a group of Mongolian powerful people who refused to recognize the rule of the East China government, such as King Darhan, Tao Gu Taohu and others, who could not gain a foothold in the Mongolian region and could only escape to Gansu to surrender to Cen Chunxuan.

As a result, Lanzhou heroes gathered together, and at this time, 560,000 troops were gathered. At least on the surface, Cen Chunxuan's strength is quite considerable, but now the Lanzhou army is complex, divided into several groups of forces, and there is no affiliation between them. Cen Chunxuan can actually control only a part of them and has no obvious advantage. Therefore, he cannot act completely according to his own intentions and must take care of the interests of other forces. Not all forces support the surrender government. Some of them clearly oppose it, while others depend on the conditions for surrender, which has a great restriction on Cen Chunxuan.

The constraints that Zhangjia Living Buddha was subject to were greater than those of Cen Chunxuan. Although Zhangjia Living Buddha's religious status was not as good as those of the other three living Buddhas, he was supported by the Qing court and had a very prominent political status. Therefore, a group of people who depended on him had formed around him, and there were many people with certain real powers. After all, the four living Buddhas were not simply religious people. They were all united in politics and religion, and had considerable secular powers. However, these secular powers in turn restricted these living Buddhas, because they could not directly manage secular affairs and had to deal with others, which caused the power to fall aside, so that although the living Buddhas had huge power, they could not act completely according to their own will.

This is also one of the reasons why Cen Chunxuan and Zhangjia Living Buddha raised the price. After all, they must consider the interests and ideas of others around them. Of course, from a positive perspective, at least Cen Chunxuan and Zhangjia Living Buddha both intend to negotiate with the East China Government. This is a good phenomenon. The conditions can be discussed slowly. Anyway, the East China Government is not in a hurry now. After taking Shaanxi, the northwest can resist the New Gansu-Qinghai region and coerce Sichuan to the south. The East China Government is in an absolute initiative strategically and has no plans to advance for the time being, and does not visit Cen Chunxuan and Zhangjia Living Buddha slowly. If the negotiation is good, it will be resolved peacefully. If the negotiation is not good, it doesn't matter. After the East China Government stabilizes Shaanxi, Shanxi and Mongolia, one by one, it will be conquered by force one by one.

At this moment, the diplomatic delegation of the Ottoman Turkish Empire also arrived in Qingdao to conduct a follow-up visit to the East China Government.

Although the two sides have not formally established diplomatic relations, the diplomatic delegation sent by the Ottoman Turkish Empire this time was very large, led by Prince Abdul Ademir, the younger brother of Sultan Mohammed V., with a total of 83 people, including as many as 26 military representatives, and 15 other staff members are preparing to stay in Qingdao and set up an office.

On the one hand, this was due to the Bosnian crisis and the Turkish Al Shabaab coup, which delayed the Ottoman Turkish Empire's follow-up visit to the East China Government for a long time. During this period, the two sides had several exchanges through Germany and had reached a lot of consensus. Moreover, after the Bosnian crisis, the Ottoman Turkish Empire's threat to Russia was more urgent, because after the East was frustrated, Russia would turn its focus to the West, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire, which was at the intersection of Asia and Europe, was naturally the first to bear the brunt. The Bosnian crisis was only the first impact, but it was definitely not the last time.

The Ottoman Turkish Empire itself was naturally not a rival to Russia. In the past, it mainly relied on the support of European countries such as Britain, France, and Germany. Of course, the purpose of European countries such as Britain, France, and Germany was to use the Ottoman Turkish Empire to prevent Russia from entering the Mediterranean, so both sides took their own needs. But now Britain, France and Russia have formed a [Four-Country Alliance] with Russia. Although they did not express their resignation to support the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the support will inevitably be broken and detached.

Germany's support for the Ottoman Turkish Empire was not as strong as Britain and France. In addition, Germany's die-hard ally Austria-Hungary Empire was also eyeing the Ottoman Turkish Empire. The Bosnian crisis was initiated by Russia and the Austro-Hungary Empire. Naturally, the national security of the Ottoman Turkish Empire could not be completely expected, and it must seek more support.

The East China Government is of course the best choice for the Ottoman Turkish Empire at present. The combat effectiveness shown by the East China Government in the Far East War is completely trustworthy. Although the East China Government is not a European country and cannot directly support the Ottoman Turkish Empire, it is located in the east of Russia, so it can play a role in Russia and pose a threat to the Ottoman Turkish Empire. This is also the main reason why the Ottoman Turkish Empire urgently hopes to establish diplomatic relations with the East China Government.

In addition, the Ottoman Turkish Empire also hoped to obtain some advanced weapons from the East China Government and equip its own army. Because before that, both sides had exchanged through Germany, and Germany had carried out military cooperation with the East China Government over the years, the Navy and Army had introduced many weapons designed by the East China Government. Therefore, the Ottoman Turkish Empire still had a considerable understanding of the weapons of the East China Government and knew that the weapons of the East China Government were designed and produced by themselves, while the Ottoman Turkish Empire was not strong in industrial capacity, and heavy weapons were all introduced from the outside by naval weapons. Previously, the naval weapons of the Ottoman Turkish Empire were mainly purchased from Britain, and the results of the Far East War proved that the warships designed and built by the East China Government were not worse than those of the United Kingdom. If an agreement to purchase weapons with the East China Government would undoubtedly have an additional channel for the source of weapons.

There were a large number of military personnel in this visiting delegation, which were prepared for these two goals.

This is the second country in addition to Germany to send a visiting delegation to the East China Government. In addition, the East China Government also has the intention to establish good diplomatic relations with the Ottoman Turkish Empire, which can be used as a springboard to enter the Middle East. Therefore, the visiting delegation of the Ottoman Turkish Empire was received at a very high standard. Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng, Wang Yunpeng and other leaders met with the visiting delegation and held talks with the main members of the visiting delegation.

Although the talks were mainly polite, there were also many substantive contents. The first consensus reached between the two sides was to set up offices together so that the two sides could have direct communication in the future and no longer had to transfer through Germany. Naturally, both sides were beneficial. Therefore, after this visit, the Ottoman Turkish Empire will directly establish an office in Qingdao, and the East China Government will send personnel to return to the Ottoman Turkish Empire with the visiting delegation and also establish an office of the East China Government in Istanbul.

Secondly, both sides agreed to strengthen exchanges between the two sides in the future, and actively develop exchanges and contacts in various aspects such as politics, economy, culture, military, and technology, so as to promote exchanges between the two sides to reach a higher level as soon as possible.
