Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Chapter 38, The Rise of Victor Keith

It is easy to raise the butcher's knife, but difficult to put down the butcher's knife!

Gradually, the uprising army has become red-eyed. In addition to the Turkish nobles, ordinary Turks have also entered their eyes and become new prey.

In order to continue to expand the revolutionary team, Victor Keith came up with another bad idea and learned the excellent method of fighting the team.

Of course, he didn't know how this method came about, but Ferdinand accidentally mentioned it once during spy training, and then it became a textbook. Victor Keith is now learning and applying it.

Coercing other ethnic minorities to join, of course, the way is to accept the vote, whether it is killing Turks or raping Turkish girls, it is a good way!

Whether you like it or not, as long as you set foot on the pirate ship, don't think about it!

With the feces and urine of the Sudanese government, will these soldiers be spared? Don't have to dream, your hands are already stained with Turk blood, and you can't wash them clean!

When the interim government was ready to negotiate with the Sudanese government through the embassies of the foreign powers, it suddenly found that it was too late, and the hatred between the two sides could not be solved! There are at least tens of thousands of Turks in Constantinople who have fallen under the slaughtering knives of the rebel army!

In that case, let's go all the way to the dark! Anyway, the strength of the uprising army is not weak now. The number of old, weak, sick and disabled has reached more than 200,000, or more than 300,000. Who knows?

Anyway, I can't count it now, the slow-moving Ottoman army is finally here! It is a pity that Constantinople, this is a fortress-style city, easy to defend and difficult to attack!

For the victory of the Armenian uprising, in order to increase the time for the provisional government in the city, Victor Keith took over the important task of defending the city!

Of course, this is just a flicker of the resistance organization. His main purpose is to delay the Ottoman Empire's counter-insurgency time. Every day of delay, thousands of people in Constantinople will disappear!

At the same time, taking advantage of the opportunity of defending the city, Victor Keith successfully obtained most of the army and became the biggest real power faction in the resistance organization!

Of course, these problems were covered up by the war! The Armenian resistance organization is working hard for national independence. Is it too late to welcome a rare military talent like Victor Keith?

Oh, the premise is that the Ottoman Empire is too strong for them. If the uprising is suppressed, they will either move their heads or go to hell. What is the use of fighting for power now?

At the beginning of the war, Victor Keith used the fortress cannon on the city wall to give the Ottoman army a blow! Then the bloody siege began. The Turks never dreamed that the fortress they built would become the burial place of their own army!

Historically, the Great Uprising of Constantinople launched by the Armenians lasted for more than two months before it ended. This time and space is completely different. From the uprising in February, it lasted until May, and most of Constantinople was still controlled by the insurgent army.

Abdul Hamid II, in a very bad mood right now, the damn Armenians rebelled again, and in Constantinople.

He scolded angrily: "Idiots! They are all a bunch of idiots! An army of hundreds of thousands can't destroy a small rebellion, and they still have the face to ask me for reinforcements!

How many Armenians were there in Constantinople? Even if they all rebelled, they would only be a crowd of hundreds of thousands!

 …”

Originally, the Sudanese government had plans to increase its troops in Europe. Now there is no need to hesitate, and quickly deploy troops to suppress the rebellion! Constantinople is not only one of the capitals of the Ottoman Empire, but also the most developed city in the Ottoman Empire, with a population of millions!

It can be said that every day it drags on, the losses to the Ottoman Empire are immeasurable. Obviously, the Sudanese government does not know the massacre that broke out in the city!

Or rather, the officials of the Ottoman Empire already knew,

It was deliberately concealed! It is a common problem for bureaucrats to announce good news but not bad news, let alone the decaying Ottoman Empire?

The Armenian uprising in Constantinople always had to be held accountable, but the Ottoman Empire was a world dominated by aristocrats!

After the Armenian uprising broke out, the high-ranking officials in the city first sent the city guards to suppress it. Unfortunately, these bright-looking old soldiers were only "shangyong" who were defeated by the enemy!

Then the nobles were frightened, and they left the city and ran away. Otherwise, if someone organized resistance inside and a counter-insurgent army attacked the city, the rebel army would occupy Constantinople, which would be nothing short of a dream!

But no if, otherwise the Armenian uprising in history would not have successfully lasted for more than two months in Constantinople!

Sultan, who received news of the rebellion, yelled angrily! When the sultan was almost done venting, the prime minister persuaded: "Stop your anger! The most urgent task is to send troops to quell the rebellion!

Once the foreign powers intervene, it is not so easy to solve!

And the Balkan countries are on the move again. If we can't solve the Armenian rebellion in a short period of time, it is very likely to give the enemy a wrong signal, and then rush to it in a swarm, it will be trouble! "

Abdul Hamid II, who was already enraged, became even more angry when he heard the Prime Minister's words, but he still suppressed his anger and said, "Minister of War, send me troops to suppress it immediately!

Wasn't it planned to send more troops to Europe earlier? Immediately execute it now, transfer 100,000 troops to me, first go and exterminate this group of chaotic Armenians, and then talk about it!

As for the Asia Minor region, we must not let our guard down. Don't give the Armenians any more opportunities. As soon as any changes occur, they will be extinguished immediately.

I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of a rebel! "

Even though he was very angry, Abdul Hamid II did not lose his mind, knowing that the army in the Balkans could not move!

Knowing that after the Armenian uprising, Ferdinand was able to sit still, and some people began to sit still!

The Russian ambassador to Bulgaria, Count Paul, is lobbying the Bulgarian government to send troops to Constantinople!

It is a pity that the Bulgarian government has a much bigger appetite, knowing that it is not ready yet. If the war is launched in advance, many of the previously formulated strategic goals may be difficult to achieve, and decisively rejected the Russian proposal!

Also unable to sit still are the Greeks and Mentegro. The army has been expanded, but their finances cannot bear it!

The government owed too much foreign debt before, and now I want to borrow it, but I can't get a mortgage! Launching a war immediately is undoubtedly a good way for them to get out of the crisis!

In order to appease the countries, Ferdinand personally sent a telegram to Nicholas II, saying that the Bulgarian army was not ready unless the Russian Empire could first cut off the Turks from Eurasia, or the Russians themselves Go to the war, otherwise Bulgaria will not be able to start a war now!

Send electricity to George I, and propose: It is recommended that the Greek government exert its influence, encourage the Greeks in the Ottoman Empire to rebel, and contain the forces of the Ottoman Empire.

And also said: Bulgaria is already doing it, the Armenian uprising is the weapon provided by Bulgaria, and the effect is great!

For the future kingdom of Montenegro, Ferdinand did not have such patience, and asked Nicholas I directly, how was the training of the army? If Mente Negro, ready, can start the war in advance, Bulgaria will definitely abide by the covenant and enter the war within three months!

With Bulgaria's resolute attitude, the Greeks felt they could go it alone and the losses could be huge. George I suppressed the plan to do it, and was very interested in Ferdinand's proposal, and began to fan the flames in the Ottoman Empire!
