Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 784: A Serious Nonsense

Vienna Palace

The heavy-hearted Foreign Minister Weisenberg said anxiously: "Your Majesty, this is a diplomatic note sent by the Tsarist Government.

The outbreak in Asia Minor Peninsula has been determined to be an artificial plague caused by the Ottoman government, and the outbreak is currently out of control."

After the "plague" was aimed at the former Ottoman government, the Russians immediately interrogated the surrendering senior Ottoman officials.

With the torture of waiting, all who should or should not have been admitted.

The angry Alexander III immediately issued a killing order against Abdul Hamid II. This diplomatic note was to inform the allies.

After reading the note carefully, Franz said slowly: "Call on the whole country to kill the rodent, and order the relevant domestic enterprises to fully produce the rodenticide.

First, a batch of rodenticide was collected and sent to the defenders stationed in the Asia Minor peninsula, ordering the troops to reduce contact with the outside world."

I have to be glad that this is winter. The severe cold is not conducive to virus breeding, and there is no transmission of mosquitoes and flies.If the plague broke out in spring or summer, the lethality would increase several times.

There is no hurry to look for the aftermath of Ottoman. Those guys have gone into hiding. It is difficult to find for a while and a half. The most urgent thing is the epidemic prevention.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

...

Prime Minister Felix asked: "Your Majesty, should the news of the plague be blocked?"

Franz shook his head: "No need, such a big thing can't be concealed, it's just a few days, let's disclose it to the outside world!

The news from the Russians may not be complete. In order to reduce losses, the bureaucrats may conceal the previous losses.

In the case of strengthening epidemic prevention, we must also make the worst plan to block off the coastline of the Asia Minor Peninsula and the borders of the Middle East."

After a pause, Franz added: "Pay attention to guiding public opinion, emphasizing the fact that the Ottoman Empire created the plague, and it can be appropriately cited for the Black Death.

In the European world, to promote our efforts to prevent the spread of the virus, by the way, black the British."

...

Following Franz ’s order, the Vienna government strengthened its epidemic prevention, and the propaganda machine was activated.

Various appalling headlines appeared on the headlines of European newspapers. Objective and more realistic are "The Plague Maker-Ottoman Empire", "The Cancer of the Human World" ...

This is a picture and a truth. Although a certain amount of artistic processing has been carried out, the man-made plague has not wronged the Ottoman Empire.

The topic of nonsense in the back is even richer. The Austrian Propaganda Department has just started, and the rest are freely played by journalists.

"The Origin of the Black Death", "The Biggest Conspirator in History", "The Real Murder of the Black Death" ...

Hundreds of years have passed since the Black Death, and no one knows how it came, but this does not prevent everyone from holding the black pot on the Ottoman Empire.

Combining history, cleverly linking the rise of the Ottoman Empire with the "Black Death".

For example, the case in "The Black Death Saved Ottoman" is: The Timur Empire expedition to the Ottoman Empire in 1399, which has surrounded the Ottoman capital, was forced to retreat because of the black death.

Another example is "The Road to the Bloody Rise of the Ottomans". The article directly attributed the rise of the Ottoman Empire to the spread of the Black Death, which caused serious damage to the European countries and the suppression of the Ottoman Empire.

Although the Ottoman Empire was also a victim of the Black Death, everyone directly changed the concept and ignored the gap between the two populations.

Rheinland Daily listed a set of data that I did not know from where: the Black Death plagued the European world and killed 25 million people vs. Ottoman deaths. I had 210,000, with a ratio of up to 119: 1.

To sum up: without the ravages of the Black Death, there would be no rise of the Ottoman Empire.

Finally, it was concluded that the Black Death was an Ottoman conspiracy.

Not to mention ordinary people, even the initiator of Franz, some believe that the Black Death is a conspiracy of the Ottoman Empire.

true and false?Hundreds of years have passed, and there is simply no way to check.

Combined with history, the Ottoman Empire emerged after the Black Death and belonged to the beneficiaries.From the perspective of conspiracy theory, they have motives for committing crimes.

Some people support the actual case of the plague, and the long-term propaganda of European countries, this is the original image of Ottoman.

In a short period of time, European society gave a conclusion about the coffin. Apart from Austria guiding public opinion, more importantly, no one defended the Ottoman Empire.

Things were unclear hundreds of years ago, but the facts that happened in front of us cannot be erased.

At this time, he jumped out to defend the Ottoman government, and it was easy to catch fire. In case he was deducted from the name of the Ottoman spy, it would be deadly.

Even experts and scholars who have always been irresponsible and like to set new standards, dare not jump out and fight public opinion at this time.

...

In London, the angry Prime Minister Gladstone shredded the newspaper in his hand again. This was the nth newspaper he destroyed recently.

It ’s just a matter of darkening the Ottoman Empire. Once the man-made plague comes out, it ’s impossible for the deceased Ottoman Empire to be washed away.

Anyway, the country is dead, and it is harmless to put on the hat of the conspiracy of the Black Death.

However, as time went on, public opinion gradually deviated, first of all in the Austrian Daily's "Disgraceful Role of Britain in the Near East War."

In detail, the British contributed money to the Ottoman Empire during the Near East War and accused the British government of covering up Ottoman "aftermath" after the war.

In normal times, this is not a problem, there is also a sounding saying "political asylum".Unfortunately, the current time is not right, and the "artificial plague" happened.

It ’s not that the British people have an international spirit. The main reason is that the plague is too lethal and spreads. Once it spreads, everyone can become a victim.

Of course, the guy who created the "plague" threatened the safety of everyone's life, and naturally hated it.Hearing that the British government was covering these guys, the people were naturally angry.

This question is not easy to deal with. If the people are handed over, where does the London government's face go?

It would be impossible not to deal with it. The Opposition will not let this opportunity pass. Prime Minister Gladstone does n’t want to be infamously stepped down.

Due to frustration, Gladstone had to order the arrest of several Ottoman seniors who had already appeared, and handed over to the judiciary to quell the public anger.

However, this is just the beginning.Perhaps there are too many conspiracies, and the image has been deeply entrenched. The European media always like to associate them with conspiracy theories.

This did not just solve the problem of covering up the "Ottoman Remnants", and another "British Conspiracy" came up, not exactly one, but many.

In the mainstream European media, more than half of the newspapers have linked the British government to this "artificial plague incident".

"British Conspiracy" is only the sharpest writing style, speculating on the British government with the most malicious intentions, boldly speculating that the British government collaborated with the Ottomans and jointly planned this "human plague".

The reason is: the British Isles are separated by straits, which is conducive to blocking the spread of the plague; once the European continent reproduces the old thing of the "Black Death" ravages in the Middle Ages, Britain will become a European hegemon without any blood.

In return, the London government will support the restoration of the Ottomans.This is the only opportunity for Ottomans to return to their country, and the evil Sudanese government will naturally not give up.

It is just speculation, and there is no substantial evidence.

The European Public Opinion Center is in the three countries of Britain, France and Austria. Everyone is slandering each other. There are too many similar things happening. It is reasonable that Gladstone cannot be angry.

But the problem is that there are also people in the country who are in trouble. Extremist newspapers openly criticize: The London government's ability to execute is too poor, and even this little thing can't be done well, if ...

The specific content behind is not important, the key is that such a public recognition of collusion between the British government and the Ottomans, do not need to consider the consequences?

There are many similar chaotic newspapers. Do n’t ask why it ’s written like this.

Whether it was planned by international anti-British forces or the conspiracy of the domestic opposition parties, Gladstone could no longer study it.

Everyone in China believes this statement, not to mention internationally.

The core factor that caused all this to happen was that the London government and the Ottoman Empire did collude, but did not include the following "man-made plague".

Half of it is true, and things cannot be explained.

If the plague is under control, if it becomes the second "black death", the Gladstone government will be finished.

This year, no country can bear the consequences of angering the entire European world, and Britain is no different.
