557 Chasing

Ankara, what happened in the city of Ava has been passed on.Thanks to this good news, Abdulaziz I, who was in a good mood, generously passed Major General Ozgul who left the abandoned city.

Being "slaughtered by the city" has become good news. I have to say that the Ottoman Empire has been completely abolished.If it is time to change, the Sudanese government has already sent troops to retaliate.

Now, use diplomacy!It was not that Abdul Aziz I did not want to retaliate, but that he really could not win.

"Immediately announce the news, call on the people to die and resist, and tell the people that the evil enemy wants to destroy the ****, we have reached the critical moment of life and death.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Britain and France continued to communicate and asked them to intervene in the war.Poke the tragedy of Ava City to the international media, expose the atrocities of the enemy on the European continent, and mobilize international public opinion to condemn Austria and Russia."

Hope for international intervention, which is forced out by cruel reality.In recent days, the coastal cities of the Ottoman Empire have basically been greeted by the Austrian Navy, and many inland cities, including Ankara, have also been bombed by airships.

The Sudanese government did not organize a counterattack. They even shot down an airship.But for the overall situation, it simply does not help.

The Austrian airship force originally had no targets in the bombing, even if there was a rifle attack, which allowed them to increase their flying height, but where can a city with such a large target go?

As long as the bomb is thrown into the city, it is considered to have achieved its purpose, and the factory and material warehouse have been blown up, which is regarded as a profit.

Affected by the bombing, Abdulaziz I moved out of the palace and ran to work in the suburban manor, and high-level government officials ran out.

There is no way, dozens of airships appeared to swim together above the palace, making Abdulaziz I become a startled bird.

Ava is only a few hundred kilometers away from Ankara, which is within the airship bombing range. It is impossible to say that Ankara naturally became the focus of the bombing, and the Royal Palace of Abdulaziz I became the focus of the focus.

Who asked him to repair the palace so big?If it is smaller, the airship in the sky may not be found.

The results of the bombing all depended on luck, including Ankara, which was heavily cared for, but actually did not kill many people, but there was no way to solve the panic caused.

The rich people ran away, and the rest were all poor ghosts who could not run.In recent months, the number of foreign immigrants in the Ottoman Empire has exceeded the sum of the past five years, which is enough to explain many problems.

The wealthy run away and the market's purchasing power declines.Many cities in the Ottoman Empire have slumped, and the economy has been devastated.

Since the outbreak of the war, the Sudanese government ’s industrial and commercial taxation has collapsed, and the government ’s financial crisis has become increasingly serious.If this continues, sooner or later the Ottoman Empire will end.

...

In London, when the news of Ava was slaughtered, the city was boiling.Newspapers are working overtime to catch up on news, and no one will give up on this breaking point.

Although Ava was a little far away, there was no telegram connection, and there was no way to collect the data on the spot.But it doesn't matter, everyone can make up for it.

Every excellent newspaper editor is a little expert in storytelling.It is a good article to just make inferences.

The "truth" is not their final word. As long as it is not too exaggerated, you are not afraid to wear it.Since it was a massacre, the emphasis was on highlighting the brutality of the Russian army and the helplessness of the Ottomans.

As if everyone were transformed into a messenger of justice, standing at the moral high ground, they condemned the invasion of Austria and Russia into the Ottoman Empire.

Of course, there is no shortage of supporters for Russia and Austria.After the Ottoman Empire has been pulling hatred for so many years, how could there be no enemies?

But this kind of voice can't occupy the mainstream at present.Only after the public's sympathy is exhausted will the newspapers expose the dark history of the Ottoman Empire.

Magnificent reports can only increase newspaper sales.If all are released at once, where can I find so much news?

In the official residence of Downing Street, Prime Minister Gerston is worried about the current situation.The domestic Irish issue has not been resolved for a long time, and the international bad things are coming again.

The Ottoman Empire and Austria and Russia fought hard in the Near East. The London government did not want to see the Ottoman Empire finished.

The Awa "Slaughter City" incident appeared to have been the best opportunity for interference.Unfortunately, their best helper Napoleon III died not long ago, and the Prussians stared at the Kingdom of Poland again.

There are no thugs in continental Europe, and the London government can do nothing even if it wants to intervene.

In the original Russo-Turkish war, the British could strongly intervene. It was established that European countries did not want to see the expansion of the Russian empire, and Queen Victoria made a strong statement.

Gerston said solemnly: "The Ottoman Empire is almost unsustainable. We have just received news that the Austrians have sent troops to the Middle East, and may not be able to reach Jerusalem until long.

Now the Ottoman Empire cannot even resolve the crisis in the Asia Minor peninsula and is simply unable to support the Middle East.

If we do not want to see Austria and Russia divide the Ottoman Empire and extend their tentacles to the Persian region, we must find ways to interfere."

Foreign Minister Macleans: "His Prime Minister, interference is inevitable, but the time is not yet ripe.

Napoleon III had just died, and it was less than a month after Napoleon IV succeeded to the throne. The French government was in a mess.

The opposition, suppressed by Napoleon III, jumped out at this time, and the Paris government may be in a state of infighting for years to come.

The Polish throne election is about to vote, and without external intervention, William I ’s victory is almost inevitable.

I suspect that the Berlin government may be able to conclude a deal with Vienna, and now that France is in a fight, as long as Austria does not send troops to interfere, the Prussian ambitions will succeed.

At this time, if we want to intervene in the Near East War, we cannot find any strong ally on the European continent. We cannot count on our unshakable tongue. Let Austria and Russia compromise?"

Does Britain have weapons to balance Austria and Russia?The answer is: yes.

It's a pity that it's not powerful enough, or it can't be used at all.For example: In the loan agreement signed between Britain and Russia, the London government can cut off the Tsarist government ’s money bag at any time.

But these loans are also exchanged for benefits.The Russians joined the British-dominated monetary system before they provided this loan.

If the agreement is really torn, the Tsarist government will withdraw from the pound-gold system, which is impossible for the British financial consortium to promise.

The ruble's currency reform to tie the pound has just begun, and it will take at least a few years to complete. Before the plan is completed, the tsarist government must pull it back.

Threats to Austria are even more troublesome, and wars will break out if they fail to do so. Two countries who ca n’t kill anyone will fight, and only a third party will be cheaper.

Unless it is compelled, under normal circumstances the London government cannot make such a decision.British foreign policy will always revolve around national interests, and they will not do things that harm others.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Laluk-Royd, questioned: "Let Prussia annex Poland, is the Vienna government crazy?"

Foreign Minister McLean: "The Vienna government is not crazy. Prussia's annexation of Poland is not a short time, and now it is the first step.

The Russian Empire was the first to bear the brunt of the Pubo merger. Even if it was to worry, it was also a headache for the tsarist government.

There must be a battle between Russia and Russia, this time may be within ten years.Now the war is extraordinary, and the losses caused by the start of the fight between two major powers are definitely an astronomical figure.

Prussia wants to be a big threat to Austria, at least to wait for them to completely defeat the Russian Empire.Until then, the Berlin government will not challenge Vienna.

If the Austrians can be in the German Confederation, the gap in strength between the two sides will widen and strategically give Prussia an advantage.

Perhaps Franz Emperor is still waiting for the Prussian to die his good ally, Austria is so good to accept the Russian heritage in the Balkans, I do n’t believe they have no idea about Constantinople."

Laluch Royd nodded: "It is a tragedy for the Russians to have such an ally. It is ridiculous that now all Europe considers Austria to be the most reliable ally, and the reputation of the Vienna government is still recognized as the highest."

No one answered this topic. The credibility of the Vienna government is the highest in Europe. It was established through a series of international events.

It is not something that can happen that can be slandered.To put it bluntly, nothing happened. Who can guarantee that it will happen?

If the Vienna government pays attention to its allies within the time limit set by the covenant, it will definitely lose its reputation.If the covenant is over, this moral pressure will no longer exist.

It is impossible to form an alliance for a day, and everyone will always be good friends.No one is so naive when it comes to international politics.

In recent years, the London government is also trying to change the international image, but they have too many cases of selling teammates, and everyone guards against it.

Even though the three countries of Britain, France, Austria and Austria have formed an alliance, the private covenant between France and Austria still exists and has not been declared invalid.

The London government originally joined in order to break up the French-Austrian alliance, but later discovered that the alliance can bring greater benefits and immediately changed the way.While provoking French-Austrian relations, they are defending the alliance of the three countries.

The three countries of Britain, France and Austria are all colonial powers. Everyone is full and has become a vested interest in the international order. The British also took the largest share.

In contrast, the emerging powers of rising stars are the real threat.After all, resources and markets are limited, the old empire eats meat in a big bowl, and the emerging powers cannot even drink soup.If there is no idea in my heart, how is it possible?

If it were not for fear of the rise of emerging powers, as early as a few years ago, Prussia merged with Poland.

The two countries have common enemies. Prussia has a great influence on Poland. William I has always been a favorable competitor of the Polish throne.

Many people think that only the two nations can co-operate closely and resist the invasion of a common enemy.

The thin and dead camel is bigger than the horse, and even if the Russian empire is declining, it is still a big European country, which puts heavy pressure on the two countries.

Not to mention the Russian Empire, even the declining Ottoman Empire, many people still stubbornly think they are a powerful country.

After a moment of silence, Prime Minister Gerston asked carefully: "So what do you think of William I as king of Poland, do we want to block it?"

This problem is also a headache. The Kingdom of Prussia is the younger brother of the British, but this younger brother is too strong to be controlled at all.Once Prussia annexed Poland, the little brother was gone.

Chancellor of the Exchequer, Laluk Royd: "The annexation of Poland by Prussia has little effect on us, but it will not allow them to succeed easily.

Is n’t there a rumor that the Berlin government wants to make a deal with France and Austria in exchange for their approval?

It doesn't matter whether it's true or false, but what can Prussia do for trading?If they are allowed to complete the transaction, I am afraid that the two countries will further expand, and there is no room for small countries in the European continent.

This is very dangerous, and it will become more difficult for them to keep merging in this way.Calculating the local economic aggregate alone, France and Austria both surpassed us.

If they continue to expand, perhaps they do not need to unite in the future, any country has threatened our strength.

The power of the Royal Navy was also piled up with countless pounds.If France and Austria are not focused on developing land power, they can both build a royal navy."

Britain has already felt this threat.Unlike the original time and space, France and Austria are now snowballing and growing.

Perhaps the per capita income is not as good as that of Britain, but relying on a large number of people, both France and Austria have counterattacked on the economic aggregate.

Now, the industrial dominance of Britain is also in jeopardy. After the outbreak of the second industrial revolution, they have lost their advantage in emerging industries.

With a strong family, they can still support it, but the crisis is already brewing.If it were not for the vast colony that gave them confidence, perhaps many people felt the crisis.

It is a pity that all of this has been covered up.What Laluk Royd saw was the continuous increase in the fiscal revenues of the two countries, which disturbed him.
