Chapter 217: Battle Meeting_2

Algiers, unlike Tunis where the Imperial Guard has centralized power, is home to three political forces: the natives, the navy, and the Imperial Guard. They all seek the support of the Ottoman Empire, so they are quite attentive to the Sultan's stance.

Said continued, "Once Tunis' order is restored, I believe the great Sultan will surely consider granting the British the monopoly on trade there."

The British consul's eyes lit up immediately, "In fact, I'm very interested in your proposal."

Said rotated his wrist in an arc, his face showing difficulty, "It's just that, I'm afraid this uprising suppression might still require some funds..."

Stuart immediately said:

"I can offer some assistance in this regard. 300,000 British Pounds, enough to finish this war."

Said was overjoyed and bowed slightly, "I believe our two countries can become the guardians of order in Tunisia."
