Holy Roman Empire

As the absolute protagonist in this war, Abdul Hamid II only felt pressured, and the situation was really unfriendly.

Throughout history, the Ottoman Empire did not have such a futile Sudan.Imagine the glorious years of the ancestors at that time, that is invincible and unstoppable.

The suspected life of the Habsburg dynasty was beaten by them. The Russians trembled under their soldiers. The European continent was shrouded in the dark clouds of Ottoman's iron ride.

However, in the "Three Hundred Years of Hedong, Three Hundred Years of Hexi", feng shui turns, and a realistic version of "Don't bully the elderly" is staged.

From beating people to being beaten, every time I think of this shocking reversal, Abdul Hamid II couldn't help but vomit his old ancestor deep inside.

It ’s just a matter of pulling hatred everywhere.Would n’t it be said that “cutting grass without removing roots, spring breeze blowing and rebirth” is simply a model for the descendants of the pit.

Suppressing the injustice in his heart, Abdul Hamid II asked: "Prince, how are you preparing?"

Midhart replied slowly: "The government has mobilized 1.2 million young and strong soldiers. It is expected that the number of mobilization will increase to 2 million in the next three months.

Considering that the enemy is coming aggressively, the government is ready to abandon the coastal area, and the military will lure the enemy to go deeper and fight against them in the inland area."

"Induce the enemy to go deeper", this statement Abdul Hamid II is unbelievable, if you win, who would give up the essence of the coast?

In fact, after the last Near East War, the Ottoman Empire strengthened coastal defense construction.However, the time is too short, and the coastline is too long.

As the irony in the newspaper: "The coastline of the Ottoman Empire stretches for thousands of miles, but only the beach belongs to itself."

Having no defense at sea is the truest portrayal of the Ottoman Empire.

Abdul Hamid II shook his head: "This is not enough. During the Russo-Prussian War, the Tsarist Government mobilized more than 8 million people, and the total strength was as high as 5 million during the peak period. Great.

In this war, we are facing not only the Russian Empire, but also a stronger Austria.

Don't say two million troops, even two million more is not enough.Order all the people to be soldiers and arm everyone.

Both men, women and children must take up arms and fight against the enemy.Only in this way can we have a ray of life."

Midhart wanted to correct Sudan ’s claims that not all the five million Russian troops were first-line combat troops, and at least half of them were civilians who transported supplies.

It was only that the civilian husband had to protect the safety of the materials and took up weapons, which was then counted in the army.

Although the Russian-Russian war was fierce, the front-line combat troops invested in the front line never exceeded two million in a real sense.

This is the limitation of the times, and the military operations must be subject to logistical constraints, and it is impossible to increase the troops blindly.

Thinking of the poor relationship between the two, Midhart decided to give up correcting Sudan ’s misconceptions.

One is the representative of the conservatives, the other is the spokesperson of the reformists; one side is the embodiment of imperial power and religious power, and the other side is the power of secularism and secular subjects.

In a sense, the sudden Near East War saved Midhart, or he could not return to the prime minister's position.

"Your Majesty, we are already the ultimate mobilizer. The young and strong entered the army, and the women and children assumed the responsibilities of production, logistics and transportation. There is no idler in the entire Ottoman Empire."

Without mentioning the old and weak, Midhart was really afraid that the Sultan would send everyone to the battlefield, which meant that the defeat would really kill the race.

Opening the history of the succession of Ottoman's throne, you know what is a barbaric representative. Every Sudan's succession to the throne is indispensable for killing. The brutal Sudan is a veritable name.

The same is true of Abdul Hamid II, who took over the throne from his brother and father and inherited it by coup.

The monarch who grew up in this environment lacked everything, but he did not lack cruelty.

In a sense, they are all mentally ill.Stepping on the bones of my father and brother, it's hard not to twist my heart.

Abdul Hamid II glared at Midhart fiercely, seeming to realize that it was not time to turn his face, and forced himself to suppress his dissatisfaction.

Warning: "My prime minister, it is best to be as you said, there is no idler in the Ottoman Empire."

...

Midhart cannot represent the Ottoman people. As a multi-ethnic country with serious ethnic conflicts, Ottoman has never been calm.

Not everyone is worried about the invasion of the Anti-Turkish Alliance. On the contrary, some people in the Ottoman Empire welcomed the coalition forces.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance.

Deep in the interior of the Asia Minor Peninsula, an unremarkable town greeted an unexpected visitor tonight.

"My old friend, the Ottoman butcher knife is about to be cut on your neck. Are you still sleeping?"

The plain-dressed middle-aged man shook his head: "Holman, I haven't seen you for so many years, you are still so alarmist.

You have launched the Near East War, the Ottoman government has been overwhelmed, and it is too late to stabilize the domestic situation. Where is the effort to create trouble at this time?"

Holman said with a smile: "Draco province, save it, don't cover it up anymore, your expression has exposed your true thoughts.

You are scared.The last failure made the blood-drenched Draco no longer exist, and now there is only one rich man who is greedy for life and death."

Draco nodded: "You're right, I'm really scared. The young and ignorant Draco is dead, and now it's Draco who understands the reality.

If you want to treat me like a pawn again, don't even think about it.I will not take the lives of my compatriots and pave the way for you.

Ridiculously, I still take you as a friend. The last time you promised the independence of Armenia, have you fulfilled it?

... "

Listening to Draco's chattering complaints, Holman was not half impatient and waited until he was dry.

"Okay, old friend. I know you are wronged, or drink a sip of water to moisten your throat, and then continue to tell you about your wronged?"

Looking at Holman who handed over the glass, Draco smashed the glass with one hand, and he was speechless.

Seeing that the momentum was almost up, Holman continued: "My friend, was it really our responsibility for the last failure?

We have proposed that you move to the Caucasus region and establish the Transcaucasia at the border between Asia and Europe. However, some people are reluctant to prosper in Asia Minor and insist on staying.

It ’s okay to stay, but unfortunately you wo n’t finish until the war is over.How do you want us to fulfill our promise?

Austria does not owe you anything. National independence can never be achieved on its own.Your government doesn't fight for its own strength, do we still need to take responsibility?"

Seeing Draco in despair, Holman patted his shoulders with his hands and continued, "The friends have left you little time, and if you don't cheer up, you have no hope.

As long as you are not isolated from the world, you should know that civil war broke out in France, and no one in the European world can save Ottoman.

Once the Ottoman Empire perished, this is the world of us and the Russians.No contribution has been made to this war. Why should we support your independence?

No, maybe you ca n’t wait until.In ordinary times, the Ottomans have a richer coastal plain, and you don't care about you.

But this time is not the same. Their coastal areas will become battlefields after the outbreak of war, and a large number of refugees will flood inland.

Without finding you, how can the Sudanese government feed so many people?Even if the Sudanese government does not take away your land, at least it will increase your taxes?

But they want to mobilize two million troops. On average, one in four people will be enlisted in the army. All young and strong must go to the battlefield.

If there is no accident, the recruiter will come over soon.

Once you have entered the Ottoman army, you should know what your destiny is."

Threat + intimidation + temptation, Draco is very clear, he has no choice.

Regardless of whether Holman's promises can be fulfilled, he must now stand in line, and all ethnic groups in the Ottoman Empire must stand in line.

There are no human rights at all this year, and the wrong team is standing to die.Not one or two problems, but tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of deaths.

The Russian-Russian war has proved that the European world is not so civilized.Millions of people were starved to death, and the international community only shouted.

Relatively speaking, Austria is quite good among the powers.Although evictions and exiles are often done, after all, no slaughter has been played.

Draco asked bitterly, "Your choice is not only me, if I refuse, will you not see tomorrow's sun?"

Holman shook his head: "You think too much, my friend. I'm just an intelligence officer, not a chaperone, and murder is not my job.

Based on my understanding of you, even if you don't agree, you can't tell a whistle."

Draco could only believe half of this, and murder was not Holman ’s job, but it ’s hard to say.

To his knowledge, Armenians have a lot of connections with Austria, including in this humble town.

Ordinarily, he was still Mr. Draco, who was highly respected. Now, if he says nothing, he may be treated as a hidden danger.

Draco sighed: "It seems I have no choice! If you think I am a friend, help send away all the children in town!

They are innocent, and war has nothing to do with them.I know you have this kind of strength, I will sell my life for you if you send them away."

Holman smiled bitterly: "This is really a bit difficult. If we don't say a few hundred people before the outbreak of the war, we can send them even if there are tens of thousands of people.

But now it ’s different. Austria ’s face is not good here.If you want to send away so many children, you must use the English and French channels.

In this war, we stood on the opposite side. The Anglo-French League of Nations is now just a face-to-face maintenance. It is very difficult to use their power.

If you just send your child away, I can help ... "

Draco waved and interrupted: "Okay, my friend. Stop talking nonsense, I know you can do it.

If only my child was sent away, what would others think?If I want to set off a wave of independence in the hinterland of Ottoman, it is not enough to rely on me to kill myself.

Rest assured, old friend.I won't make it difficult for you. We can give you all our money, as long as we raise these children as adults."

That's right, it can really be done, it's just a matter of money.Being rich doesn't necessarily make ghosts grind, but it certainly makes people grind.

There are quite a few European capitalists active in Ottoman, as long as they give money these people do not mind shipping a special cargo.

Draco did not find these capitalists, not because he had no money, but the key was not to guarantee that these people would perform.

Greed is the nature of capital, and no one can guarantee that the capitalists will collect the money and then sell these children to Ottoman.

It ’s different with Austrian intervention. Capitalists can ignore them, but they ca n’t ignore the Austrian government.

Seeing that Holman was still hesitating, Draco continued to swim and said: "My friend, you must be a great man after this war, and getting a piece of land is not a problem at all.

I know that you are from a noble family, but your family has long since fallen, and you have no ability to provide you with follow-up resources.

These children can be trained to become your class."

Holman nodded. With such rich conditions, he really couldn't find a reason to refuse. Even if he needed to take a lot of favors, it was worth it.

"Relax, my friend. From now on, your son will be my son. I will accept him as a godson and raise him as an adult."
