Map Room, The Sultans Palace
Istanbul, The Ottoman Empire
June, 1780
"And what of Wallachia?" The Grand Vizier said with a murmur.
"What of Wallachia?" The Sultan asked.
"They stand at our gates, taunting us. They believe themselves greater than they are, do they not?"
The Sultan did agree. Ever since the Wallachians had been granted their freedom they had been a pain. Raiders would cross into Ottoman territory with regularity, typically from the Ialomita and Ilfov provinces. While the Wallachian Prince had promised many times to put an end to this, no such thing had been done.
"They have been difficult, haven't they?" The Sultan replied after some thought.
"They have, great Sultan. What better a place to test some of the new tactics those fellows from Paris have given us?"
"Test indeed" The Sultan chortled. The Anglois delegation had caused quite a stir in the military. Already many Jannisaries had taken offense to some of their advice. Perhaps this could be an opportunity to assure many in the Ottoman military that what they said was fair and accurate.
As they gazed at the map, it became clear. They would be paying a visit to the Wallachians soon enough.
