Chapter 597: Purgatory on Earth

In West Asia, under the slaughter of the "Blade of Persia", the refugee army quickly scattered and fled, and the Ottoman government could no longer control the whereabouts of the refugees.

In addition to the dead, only a small part of the remaining refugees fled to the Persian hinterland, and more returned to the Ottoman Empire.

People are afraid of death. Facing the Persian who raised the butcher's knife, the refugees have been counseled.

It’s easy to go out and hard to go home, and it took a lot of hard work to send the refugees out. How could the Ottoman government accept this trouble again?

After successfully expelling the refugees, the rank of Major General Shendierk has become a lieutenant general. If the immediate trouble can be solved, it is likely to be promoted to another rank.

As a price, Shendirke is already notorious, affectionately called "the most insidious butcher" by the international media.

The media must thank him, because his approach has kept everyone short of hot news this year. After the Persian Holocaust, newspaper sales across Europe rose by 30 percent.

Inside the headquarters, a middle-aged officer reported worriedly: "General, there are more and more refugees outside, and we are about to be unable to stop it."

Lieutenant General Shendierk ignored it and was already playing with a pair of walnuts in his hand. After a while, he asked indifferently, "Do you remember how our ancestors established the Ottoman Empire?"

Everyone was dumbfounded. How the Ottoman Empire was established is clearly recorded in the history books. Although a lot of beautification, but the general situation is still recorded.

However, this question does not seem to have anything to do with the current situation. After a short pause, Shen Dierk was not angry when he saw that no one answered.

The quality of the officers of the Ottoman Empire these days is appalling. There are very few truly capable officers. Because of the Near East War, many of them have been blamed and held accountable—retired, and most of the rest are related households. .

Shen Dierke, an officer with a prominent background and ability, is rare.

The bad things in the officialdom are actually more serious in the army. Not doing well, doing more is more wrong, the same applies here.

As long as you want to do things seriously, you must be prepared to be criticized. In this harsh environment, most people think first and foremost is to protect themselves.

Shen Dirk's reputation so quickly was actually the work of his competitors. Otherwise, how would the outside world know that he did the deportation of refugees?

In the face of the cruel reality, Shen Dierke did not expect his subordinates to be so shrewd and capable, as long as he could complete the tasks he assigned as required, that would be enough.

"The strong eat the weak, are you familiar with this term?"

"You must have heard of how the ancestors survived the natural disaster back then.

In the final analysis, there is only one thing-reducing the food, whether it is to launch a war externally or to carry out internal cleaning, it is essentially to reduce the food.

There are so many refugees outside now, and we can't save them even if we try to help them. In this case, the oldest method is to use the law of the weak. "

Everyone's expressions changed drastically, as if they had experienced a tit-for-tat enlightenment, they suddenly came to their senses, and they all started flattering.

Angrily Shen Dierke slapped the table, and the words have come to this point, but no one has answered. Obviously, everyone is a smart person, unwilling to take responsibility, and want to protect themselves.

"Enough! Go on the order and tell the refugees that we are short of food, and in accordance with the ancient tradition of our ancestors, only the strong can survive.

Only when you get five heads can you get the qualification to survive. You can submit them in batches, send someone to register, and allow them to use any means outside the barracks. "

Shen Dierk is too lazy to pay attention to everyone, afraid of what kind of climate will he take responsibility for? You must know that today is different from the past, and now the Ottoman al-Shabab is in power.

Idealism is the most terrible, they can sacrifice everything in order to achieve their goals. You can even give up your own life, let alone a bunch of refugees?

Notorious, it may be a disaster in other countries, but it is nothing in the Ottoman Empire. In the eyes of the rulers, such notorious generals were more reliable.

There are so many refugees outside, and the Ottoman government does not have enough food relief. For domestic stability, they must be kept out of the country.

In this context, letting refugees kill each other is undoubtedly the best choice. Don't look at Shen Dilk saying that if you get five heads, you can get the qualification to survive. The survival rate seems to be one in six.

In fact, once refugees kill each other, it is very difficult to stop. In the end, not to mention one-sixth, I am afraid that even one-tenth or one-twentieth will not survive.

Can these people really survive? Stop dreaming. Those who survived with five heads were all haters. If these guys who had grievances against the Ottoman Empire survived, no one would be able to sleep.

Shendierke has already made preparations for a breach of contract, and it is not a breach of contract. Killing is against the law, and it was no exception in the Ottoman Empire.

This kind of existence that kills several people in a row is a repeat offense anywhere, and it is not too much to directly execute it.

It might be ruthless, but in Shen Dierke's view, he is cleaning up hidden dangers for the empire. If you don't do this, let these refugees flood into the Ottoman Empire, and the whole country will be ruined.

In the face of cruel reality, there is no such thing as right and wrong. In this cruel era, everyone is struggling to survive.

Being kind and soft-hearted, it is impossible to survive in this age of the weak.

...

After a long escape,

The nerves of the people are actually on the verge of collapse, and many people have even collapsed.

The arrival of Shen Dirk's order undoubtedly ignited the last madness. I don't know who is taking the lead, the refugee camp is completely messed up.

Except for a few sensible people, who took the opportunity to flee to the edge, most of them frantically launched attacks on the people around them, as if they wanted to take the opponent's head in exchange for their own chance of survival.

Hell on earth, nothing more than this.

...

In the Vienna Palace, looking at the information in his hand, Franz was also stunned by the Ottomans' rioting. Instead of scolding the Ottoman government with outside newspapers, he rationally analyzed the gains and losses.

I have to admit that the Ottoman Empire has been able to thrive for so many years, but it still has a unique way of survival.

At least in terms of ruthlessness, European countries are far behind. They are not only ruthless to the enemy, but even more ruthless to their own people.

Even if the Russian army invaded during the war in the Near East, he was afraid of international public opinion and did not dare to play like this, but the Ottoman government dared.

Don't look at Shen Dirk being scolded miserably. In Franz's view, he was pushed out to take the blame, and the Ottoman government in Ankara is really qualified to make a decision.

Prime Minister Felix: "We still underestimate the Ottoman Empire, just because of its cruelty, it should not be underestimated.

I propose to step up the suppression of the Ottoman Empire, take this opportunity to send troops to intervene, support the independence of the Armenians, and leave no chance for the Ottoman Empire to rise. "

He was stunned and afraid of being horizontal, and he was afraid of dying.

This sentence also applies to the country. When encountering a deadly country, everyone will feel a headache. The current Ottoman Empire has a bit of a lifeless meaning.

The prestige established by the Ottoman Empire for hundreds of years is not so easy to dissipate. The ruthlessness that is flowing out now makes Prime Minister Felix think back to the past and can't help but raise his vigilance.

Franz shook his head: "The ruthlessness of the Ottoman Empire cannot be underestimated, but after this battle, it is impossible for them to revive.

Now is the industrial age, and population is the most valuable asset. How many people still exist in the Ottoman Empire, and how many young laborers are there?

It took decades for the Ottoman Empire to develop. This is only a theoretical figure, and does not take into account domestic ethnic and religious issues at all.

Supporting Armenian independence now seems to have weakened the Ottoman Empire, but it actually helped the Sudanese government a lot. A piece of land was reduced, and national conflicts in the country were eased.

Instead, it is better to secretly support the Armenian independence movement and let them consume the strength of the Ottoman Empire internally.

By the way, strengthen the confidence of Britain and France, and let them put some of their vigorous energy into the huge pit of the Ottoman Empire, so as not to stare at us every day. "

It's not that Franz despises the Ottoman Empire, but the actual data tells him that the Ottoman Empire has lost the possibility of rising.

Whether the Ottoman Empire still has a population of 10 million is still unknown. It also includes a large number of ethnic minorities. After the end of the civil war, the population will further decrease.

To industrialize, the Ottoman Empire not only had to solve the problem of labor shortage, but also considered domestic religious problems.

By the time they have solved these problems, time has passed. Before these fundamental problems were resolved, even with the support of Britain and France, they could at most build an army that seemed to be quite effective on the face of it.

There are too many cases in the original time and space to prove that if a country wants to be strong, it must be strong in all directions. Just training a new army doesn't really do much.
