Chapter 580 Moral Kidnapping
After hundreds of years of hard work, the folk image of the Ottoman Empire in Europe is equal to that of the devil, and the hatred value is far ahead of the latecomers, and it has been unswerving for hundreds of years to occupy the top spot.
After the outbreak of the Near Eastern War, the Vienna government promoted a wave of ancestral feats for them, which directly led to a better reputation among the Ottoman Empire. Every once in a while, there are still people going to the door of the Ottoman embassy to engage in activities.
Without touching the dark, the history of the Ottoman Empire itself is dark enough. Just looking for some information can attract a large wave of hatred.
With the support of public opinion, Minister Hummel was righteous at the London meeting. Governments condemned the Russian invasion of Poland, but no one condemned the Austrian invasion of the Ottoman Empire.
That's the importance of publicity. In the European continent of this era, the Black Ottoman Empire itself is politically correct, as long as a little guidance is enough.
In the Russian-Turkish war in the original time and space, the tsarist government was still sprayed with blood. In addition to the fact that the Tsarist government did not do a good job of propaganda, there is also their own image, which is not much better than the Ottoman Empire.
Of course, the recapture of Jerusalem is also a political bonus. After the outbreak of the Near Eastern War, the Austrian army immediately launched the Holy Land Recovery War, which gagged the mouths of many people.
Franz originally had the title of King of Jerusalem, which was recognized by European society. It is completely legal to take back one's own territory now, and there is no need to bear any moral pressure, not even an invasion.
However, it is still interests that determine the political direction. Austria has enough reasons for war, and it is no problem to beat the Ottoman Empire.
But it would be different to destroy the Ottoman Empire. European society is very afraid of destroying the country. Especially for many small European countries, this kind of annihilation makes them feel insecure.
If no one takes the lead, even if these countries are dissatisfied, they can only choose to hold back.
The War in the Near East was a mass beating of the Ottomans by Austrian and Russian groups, who had no capital to join. Now that the British are willing to come forward, everyone is naturally willing to join in.
Hummel noticed the change as soon as the mediation session began. Although the words of the representatives of various countries are very subtle, he still clearly feels the meaning of leaning towards the Ottoman Empire.
The general meaning is to persuade: for the sake of world peace, it is better to use negotiation to solve conflicts and end the war in the Near East as soon as possible...
It doesn't matter if you are alone, if a group says it will be different. If the heart is not strong enough, it will be easy to be led astray.
Hummel waved his hand: "Everyone, the responsibility for the war is not on us. This involves historical issues, I believe everyone knows what happened, and I don't need to popularize it here.
Now we just drive away the invaders and take back our homeland, shouldn't we? "
This is a bad debt, and the history is not clear at all. Hundreds of years have passed, and it is impossible to verify it.
Moreover, over the years, everyone has added a lot of information to the black Ottoman.
It's nothing in normal times. If we continue this topic now, the Austrians will definitely use these artistically processed materials as a reason to attack Ottoman.
What is more troublesome is that many of these materials have been endorsed by their ancestors and have been widely recognized by European society. For the sake of political correctness, they also cannot jump out and overthrow.
Seeing that the atmosphere became awkward, British Foreign Secretary Marquis Maclean took over the topic: "His Excellency Minister, history has passed.
What should have happened, what should not have happened, has already happened. There is no point in pursuing it any further, and now we should look to the future.
This war in the Near East has caused 800,000 deaths, more than 3 million people have been made homeless, dozens of cities have been turned into ruins, and the economic losses are countless.
No matter what the Ottoman Empire did back then, this punishment was enough. If it continues, more families will be destroyed.
Children have no fathers, wives have no husbands, and old people have no sons. These human tragedies are being staged every day.
You may not know that the Ottoman Empire is now starving everywhere, with tens of thousands of people falling down every day, and even in some places, there are even children who have changed their lives.
For the sake of God, let's end this war as soon as possible for these innocent people! "
When he said this, Marquis Maclean, who was fully involved in the play, seemed not to be the British Foreign Secretary, but a loving priest.
Everyone present understood that the British were playing moral kidnapping. Thinking about it is also in line with John Bull's style. The current international situation cannot be interfered with force at all, and the British wanted to keep the Ottoman Empire. Naturally, they had to find another way.
Hummel is so disgusted that anyone can talk about "mercy", but the British are not qualified to talk about it.
As the world's No. 1 colonial empire, it rules a population of 400 million to 500 million people, and the number of people who die from exploitation every year is not the only one.
Unhappy and unhappy, Hummel still controlled his emotions: "Your Excellency Minister, you should say this to the Ottomans.
A large number of people are homeless, frozen and starved, which is caused by the incompetence of the Sudanese government. You think they are pitiful, so how about you look at these pictures again?
The record above is an Armenian village that was slaughtered by these poor people, and the soldiers of the Sudanese government also participated.
And these pictures of them killing priests and destroying churches..."
These photos were obtained by the intelligence organization at a high cost. Don't look at the fact that the Near East War has broken out, and there are still many British and French people staying in the Ottoman Empire.
No matter how chaotic, it will not affect these "big men"
. With the strictest protection of the Sudanese government, they are safe as long as they are not killed by bombs from the sky.
This is a special product of the times. Even the little gangsters on the streets of London are "big men" who can't afford to be offended in the Ottoman Empire.
Under the reward, there must be a brave man, and if the intelligence organization is willing to spend money, naturally someone can provide photos. Anyway, they are a privileged class in the Ottoman Empire, and the Sudanese government will not dare to touch them if they are caught.
If there are professionals present, you will find that many photos here are not just taken, but old photos that have been stored for several years.
But that doesn't matter, the photos prove that these atrocities actually happened, that's enough.
Marquis MacLean had a headache. He could already imagine the sensation that these pictures would be in tomorrow's London newspapers.
"Your Excellency Minister, I think the Ottoman Empire will give you an explanation about the above photo, and these perpetrators will be punished by God.
The cause of these tragedies is actually the destruction of the social order caused by the war and the loss of the government's control over the country.
I propose that after the war is over, we will form a joint delegation to settle in the Ottoman Empire to arrest the thugs there. "
In order to keep the Ottoman Empire, Marquis Maclean also fought hard. This embarrassed the Ottoman Foreign Minister Albiaqi not far away, and decided without asking my opinion?
After seeing what was on the photo, all of Albiaqi's grievances disappeared. In normal times, these things are nothing, but now that it is on the table, it is completely different.
Immediately, he said: "Please rest assured, the thugs above will be held accountable. The Ottoman Empire is a country with religious freedom, and there is absolutely no religious persecution. We will not let these thugs go unpunished."
After a pause, Albiage brought back the misguided topic: "I am very ashamed that this tragedy happened.
Because of the war, the government devoted all its energy to the battlefield and neglected local management, which caused the tragedy.
In order to make up for my regret and prevent similar things from happening, I hope that this war can be ended as soon as possible. For world peace, the Ottoman Empire is willing to contribute. "
In his heart, Albiage had already scolded him. He really couldn't imagine that there were idiots who could be so hopelessly stupid.
The cameras of this age are big, and the movements in the arrangement and shooting are not small, and it is difficult not to be discovered. This means that when the photo is taken, these parties are not blocked at all.
The ignorant are fearless. The camera is still a new thing. More than 80% of the Ottomans have never seen this thing, let alone know the function of the camera. This is the reason why all this happened.
After making up his mind, Albiaqi decided to go back and give Sudan advice to strengthen the control of cameras. There are too many things that can't be seen in the Ottoman Empire, and you can't be careful.
