Chapter 589 Ottoman Crisis

The pilgrimage is of great significance to most people, but Franz is not included here.

As an emperor, he still has privileges, and Franz avoided a series of activities under the pretext of handling government affairs. He has made up his mind that he will never show his face until it is time for his coronation.

The charm of Jerusalem is great, not only the Franz family came here, but also most of the top officials of the Vienna government.

Whether these people are devout believers or not, but for politicians, it is still very meaningful to participate in the coronation of Jerusalem.

This is the first king born in Christ's world after Jerusalem was lost for hundreds of years. No matter its political or religious significance, it deserves to be recorded in detail in history books.

As a participant, it is inevitable to leave a name in history. And there will be a high historical evaluation, combined with the development of Austria, this cabinet will most likely be a myth of future generations.

The bridal sedan chair is carried by everyone. Since ancient times, the wise ministers and the wise kings complement each other. Franz never minds the good reputation and high prestige of his subordinates.

Foreign Minister Wesenberg: "Your Majesty, the news has just come that there was a coup in Ankara, the reformist leader Grand Vizier was killed, and Abdul Aziz I was abolished.

According to the information we have received, the coup d'état was launched by the Ottoman al-Shabab, the main students of the coup d'etat, and some new troops participated.

After the coup, conservatives and religious people also joined in, and now the situation in Ankara is completely out of control. "

Due to the butterfly effect, the Ottoman Youth Party is also somewhat different from the original time and space.

After the First Near Eastern War, people of insight who were unwilling to watch the fall of the Ottoman Empire formed the Patriotic Alliance. Because most of the participants are patriotic youth, it is called by the outside world: Ottoman Youth Party.

The impact of the loss of the Balkans was too great, and as soon as the organization appeared, it quickly developed and expanded in the Ottoman Empire.

The growth of the al-Shabaab also aroused the anxiety of the Sudanese government, which soon ushered in the government's suppression. Al-Shabaab quickly ran into trouble due to its disorganized internal organizational structure.

Just at this time, Abdul Aziz I, who had just succeeded to the throne, kicked off the reform. Many policies of the Sudanese government eased internal conflicts to a certain extent.

After the outbreak of the Russian-Prussian War, the Sudanese government succeeded in speculation and recovered the Caucasus from the Russians, the government's prestige increased, and the Ottoman Al-Shabaab was torn apart.

Under normal circumstances, this organization, like most revolutionary organizations, would disappear into the long river of history in obscurity.

Just as the Ottoman al-Shabaab was dying, the Second Near Eastern War broke out, saving the group.

After another failure, the Sudanese government lost its popular base, and all sectors of society lost confidence in the government and fell into confusion.

After recalling the information in his mind, Franz asked with concern: "How is the strength of the Ottoman Youth Party? Is it possible to merge with the conservatives?"

The bourgeois revolutionary organizations of this era are not very firm in their revolutionary stance. Especially in a country like the Ottoman Empire that has not developed a capital economy, many members of the al-Shabaab are from feudal nobles.

It is naturally impossible to carry out such a thorough process of destroying one's own life. Since the uprising was defined as a coup, Franz knew that the Ottoman Empire had a long way to go.

The key is whether the Ottoman al-Shabab can stabilize the situation, keep the Ottoman Empire, and prevent the empire from falling into civil war from being completely divided.

Wesenberg shook his head: "The Ottoman Youth Party has grown rapidly recently, with more than 100,000 members and the support of many young officers.

However, these are all false. There are many hills within the al-Shabaab, and it is difficult to integrate these forces without a strong leader.

Most of the Ottoman al-Shabab are young people who have accepted new ideas. They have irreconcilable contradictions with conservatives in their ideological concepts. Especially on religious issues, the two sides cannot compromise.

Abdul Aziz I wanted to carry out secular reforms, but they were hindered by conservatives, and now the Ottoman al-Shabaab wants to reform is also difficult.

If nothing happens, the Ottoman government will be locked in a power struggle for a long time to come. Coupled with the surging national independence movement in the country, the possibility of splitting the Ottoman Empire is very high. "

Most people in this era think that the Ottoman Empire's backwardness is mainly due to religion and institutions. As long as the secularization reform is carried out and the Western political system is learned, the Ottoman Empire will soon become strong.

This judgment cannot be wrong. In Franz's view, it is not enough. If only the reform of religion and political system can achieve a strong country, then it is too simple to make a strong country.

The priority of the Ottoman Empire now is not reform, but stability. The regime cannot be stabilized, and it is completely redundant to talk about reform.

After dispelling the extra thoughts, Franz made a decision: "The Ottoman Empire's affairs are left to them, anyway, we are already enemies, even if we help them, they will not appreciate it.

Since Britain and France decided to support the Ottoman Empire, they would not watch them split. A divided Ottoman Empire, not only can not contain us, but gave us fat.

Now I am in contact with the nationalist groups in the Ottomans. If the Ottoman Empire does split, it will also split within the framework we have drawn. "

Keep the Ottomans

Country, Franz no longer has illusions.

Although the existence of the Ottoman Empire is more conducive to Austria's strategic concealment, from the position of the Vienna government, there is no reason to help the Ottoman Empire stabilize the situation.

As for Britain and France intervening to save the Ottoman Empire? Franz is really not optimistic about them, let alone other things, what about the rebels in the Ottomans?

Armenian rebels, Greek rebels, Jewish rebels...

Most of these armed groups were supported by Austria and Russia during the Near Eastern War, and now they have a certain strength.

Although the Second Near Eastern War is over, the aftermath of the war has only just begun.

A series of factors, such as the Great Depression after the war, the refugee crisis, and the government's financial difficulties, have plagued the Ottoman government.

Britain and France are not charitable, and it is impossible to invest unlimited funds. Trapped in government finances, Abdul Aziz I failed to solve these problems, and neither can the current Ottoman al-Shabaab.
