Holy Roman Empire

593 Refugee Tide

Since May, the Ottoman government has subconsciously cut relief food. Bread that was originally mixed with leaves and sand cannot be guaranteed now.

The stomach can't fool people, and dissatisfaction is rising among the refugees.The news of the lack of food was spreading wildly in the camp, and various rumors were flying all over the place.

In a refugee camp on the Persian border, Akjoel, who had just received a day of food, came out dissatisfied.

A fist-sized potato is all his food today.Not to mention adults, even children aged five or six are not enough to eat.

Oh, there are no young children in the refugee camp anymore, the youngest is half a year old.In the years of fleeing, the earliest deaths were young children and the elderly.

The Ottoman Empire was already poor, and having enough food has always been a luxury for most people.After becoming a refugee, let alone.

After receiving the food, Akjoel immediately left with several relatives and friends.The camp is also unsafe. If you do n’t hold a group, you may become a food for other people.

Humanity is not worth mentioning in the face of hunger.Along the way, Akjoel saw too many scenes of Yi Zi eating, and now he dare not trust anyone completely.

A companion asked anxiously: "Akjol, you have a lot of knowledge, and now there are less and less food, what should we do later?"

They are considered to be the bottom line among refugees. Even if they go hungry or hungry, they have not learned how to eat human flesh.

Of course, this bottom line is limited to the present. If it continues, no one can guarantee that they will be assimilated.

Akyol replied bitterly: "The food that can be found in the surrounding area has been eaten up by everyone. The rear army has blocked the road and prohibited anyone from passing.

Now that I do n’t want to go hungry, I can only risk crossing the border and go to the Persian land to beg for life.I am afraid that the domestic officials and masters think so too. They wish that all of us would die."

The situation has deteriorated to this point, and the former Sudanese government bears primary responsibility.Since the government did not control the refugees in time and provided effective relief, more refugees were created.

Otherwise, there are not so many war refugees made by the Russians alone.

After the initial war refugees, the Ottoman government did not provide timely relief.More and more refugees are unable to fill their stomachs by begging, and many people give up their moral bottom line and start to grab food from the people along the way.

After the Pandora's Box was opened, it could no longer be put away.The people who were robbed of food by the refugees became new refugees, and then began to go round and round.

After the war ended, the Ottoman government began to deal with the refugee problem. At this time, the situation was out of control.

In times of trouble, the Ottoman government also adopted brutal measures to suppress the refugees while relieving the refugees, and then it barely established order.

It was too late at this time and the refugee crisis became a national crisis.Due to the inaction of the previous Ottoman government, many of the refugees were very hostile to the government.

Akjoel is a craftsman, begging for life in the city, barely recognizing a few words, having a bit of knowledge and understanding of the current situation.

The Ottoman Youth Party ’s propaganda and packaging are good, and its reputation in the country is very good, and many people have high hopes, and Akjol is no exception.

I thought that after the Al-Shabaab came to power, they would arrange everyone to return to their hometowns to resume production. As a result, they were dispersed and placed under the name of deportation to the border.

Seeing that the amount of food distributed decreased every day, the government did not give a statement, Akjoel had gradually despaired of the government.

Going to Persia to talk about life, this is the rumored news circulating in the refugee camp, which roughly means to complain: Persia has a good harvest this year, and the government has failed to borrow food in Persia.

The border line between the Ottoman Empire and Persia is long. In some places, it is still the border between mountains and forests. It is very difficult to completely block the border.

Someone has already risked crossing the border line in front, but it is gone forever, and the situation opposite is unknown.Just a few kilometers away from the border, there were unlucky eggs caught by the Persians hanging on the pole.

"But what to do with the Persians, they are all a bunch of gangsters, they are fierce!"

As he said this, John Shen was still shaking, as if the Persians were in front of him.

Akjoel shook his head: "The lack of food in the country is absolutely true. This war produced millions of refugees. The country is really out of money.

Expecting the gang officials to pay for their own food aid, I am afraid they are dreaming.I am afraid that you have heard of it, and some people proposed to cut the Dingkou according to the tradition to survive the food crisis.

If it finally becomes a reality, we ordinary people with no background may be washed away.

If you do n’t run now, you wo n’t be able to run if you want to run.I have thought about leaving now, we pretend to be digging wild vegetables, and if found by the Persians, they will be bitten into by mistake and be beaten."

When he said this, Akyol had no idea, but in order to live, he had to pull the crowd to run with him.

Xenophobia is very serious in this era. If a single person enters a foreign country, how can he survive?

There are now tens of thousands of refugees on the border, and as long as the Persians do not want to be hit by the wave of refugees, they are bound to intercept them.

At this time, luck will be tested. If you are unlucky, you will meet the defending patrol, and you will die in vain.

Just a beating, you can retrieve a good life, that is the treatment that only the lucky lord has.Ordinary people are hung on poles and used to kill a hundred people.

...

In the Ottoman barracks not far from the camp, Major General Shen Dirk, who was in charge of implementing the refugee eviction plan, was at a loss.

Although he kept releasing news to lure, reduce the food supply and exert pressure to encourage refugees to go to Persia for life, there were still too few people who successfully crossed the border.

This "less" is relatively speaking. On the long border, there are now hundreds of refugees and thousands of refugees entering Persia every day.

However, relative to the entire refugee group, this figure is almost negligible.Seeing the granary bottoming out every day, Major General Shen Dierke was already anxious.

"Everyone, our food is about to run out, and we will be completely cut off after half a month. In any case, we must send the refugees away within half a month.

Now the Persians are staring very tightly, and the success rate of refugees crossing the border is very low.Especially after the bloody massacres of the defenders, many refugees dared not cross the border.

This situation must be changed, otherwise the consequences will be clear to everyone."

A young military officer could not bear to ask: "General, is there really no way? To know the fierceness of the Persians, let the refugees pass, and finally survived at most one in two."

Major General Shen Dierke shook his head: "It would be nice to have one or two of ten, better than staying to die. I want to remind you to put away your poor sympathy.

You should be clear that there were not so many refugees. It was because of the compassion of some people that the current situation was caused.

If no changes are made, all Ottomans will become refugees.The government's family had long been consumed by war, and the treasury could run mice. In order to relieve refugees, even the military operations to suppress the rebellion were suspended.

To tell everyone the bad news, this year's domestic grain output is expected to be only about 60% of normal.If you don't send the refugees away, you won't be hungry until the autumn harvest."

The Ottoman Empire still has extensive experience in dealing with famine.According to the Turkic tradition, war is usually waged at this time, through which the population is reduced and the crisis is overcome.

Unfortunately, this ancient practice has become increasingly outdated.With the advent of the era of thermal weapons, the Ottoman Empire has declined, and it has no strength in siege and looting.

After a long silence, a middle-aged military officer proposed: "General, the Persians have strengthened their guard. If they want to let most of the refugees pass, they must first solve the defense.

Either we let the soldiers act as refugees, directly attack the Persian defenders, use force to tear open a mouth, and let the refugees pass.

In order to be safe, it is best to merge Qingye within fifty miles to let the refugees know that there is no food in the surrounding area and break their illusion of coming back."

"Acquisition of Qingye" is nothing to the Ottoman Empire at present. The tens of miles around the camp have long been scourge, and the locals have been turned into refugees.

After seeing more, everyone's sympathy gradually ran out, and many people began to regard refugees as a scourge.This statement is not wrong, and human nature cannot stand the test before hunger.

...

In the early morning of May 18, 1875, the Ottoman army took off its military uniform and turned into a refugee, launching sudden attacks on the Persian defenders from various locations.

Unexpectedly, the Persian defenders were directly beaten by the sudden fighting.Waiting for the Persian government to react, the ensuing countless refugee army.

In a day, millions of refugees crossed the border and poured into Persian territory.Under the guidance of the Ottoman army, the refugees were like vandals crossing the border, wreaking havoc in Persian territory.

This is just the beginning. The Ottoman government continues to expel domestic refugees to the Persian territory, as if Persian was regarded as a waste purchase station.
