Chapter 767

On the battlefield in the Near East, the defense of Ankara has reached a critical moment. In this battle to defend the capital, the power of the Ottomans shocked the Russians.

Fortunately, Marshal Ivanov has seen the big scene, otherwise the casualties are as high as four figures every day, and ordinary people really can't stand it.

Unlike the Prussian-Russian War, which was a matter of national destiny, the end of the Ottomans' demise was already doomed, and it would be meaningless to pay heavy casualties.

At this moment, Marshal Ivanov is looking at the map of Ankara in a daze, as if looking for a way to quickly defeat the enemy.

A burly young officer walked into the Hui and reported: "Marshal, the Ottoman government has sent a representative to discuss..."

Before finishing speaking, Ivanov decisively refused: "No!"

The young officer hesitated. Although he believed that accepting the surrender of the Ottoman government would end the war at the least cost, Ivanov had already made a decision that the soldiers still had to obey orders as the first element.

After a moment of silence, Ivanov added: "Get rid of the Ottoman representatives, and there is no need to report such things in the future."

If the surrender of the Ottoman government can be accepted, the war will not be fought now. As long as the anti-Turkish alliance is willing to accept the Ottoman dignitaries, someone will sell the Sudanese government in minutes.

The Ottoman government was able to perform beyond its level and burst out with astonishing combat power, but it was actually forced out.

Ordinary people can surrender, but not the Ottoman elite. If the Anti-Turkish Alliance wants to annex the Ottoman Empire, it must purge the upper layers of the country.

If we don't get rid of these vested interests, how can we place the meritorious officials? Sitting in rows to divide fruit, there must also be fruit to divide.

Coupled with the stimulation of the power of hatred, the Vienna government and the St. Petersburg government issued a retaliatory order - refusing the surrender of the Ottoman Empire.

At the coalition headquarters, this order has been further expanded and perfected, which can be summed up in two ways:

1. Frontline officers and soldiers are prohibited from negotiating with the Ottomans in any situation;

2. The coalition only accepts one mode of surrender, which is to lay down their weapons and walk into a prisoner of war camp.

The seemingly bland order actually cut off the possibility of the Ottoman Empire surrendering. Walk into a POW camp and that means nothing.

For those with vested interests, this is killing them. If the coalition forces do not give a way to survive, they will of course have to work hard.

Knowing that the coalition headquarters over-interpreted the orders of the upper levels, no one complained about the Ottomans.

This is the power of hatred, whether it is Austria or the Russian Empire, it is the feud of the Ottomans.

No way, as long as the nobles of the two countries have inherited more than a hundred years, seven out of ten have a bloody feud with the Ottoman Empire.

Unfortunately, now the two countries are the masters of the Ottoman enemy. The hatred of the country and the family has come together, and if you don't take revenge, you will have no idea.

As for the heavy losses, no one will die in a war. Millions of people died in the Russian-Prussian War. Everyone has experienced it, so how can they be afraid of four-digit casualties every day.

To the bureaucrats in the rear, this is just a set of numbers, far less important than the political gains.

...

Doubtful, Prime Minister Midhart stepped into the underground palace of the palace, a product of the last war.

After seeing the power of the Austrian airship, Abdul Hamid II decisively ordered the construction of the underground palace.

In order to avoid the threat overhead, after the outbreak of the Ankara defense, the Ottoman government moved to underground offices.

Abdul Hamid II asked expectantly: "How is the situation, did the Russians agree to negotiate with us?"

Now that the war is on, Abdul Hamid II has come to terms with it. Anyway, there is no tradition of killing lords in Europe.

With his knowledge of Austria, the anti-Turkish alliance led by the Vienna government would not have gone so far. It is very likely that a piece of land will be divided and the remnants of the Ottomans will be packaged and sent there.

The only trouble was that it was not the Austrian army that attacked Ankara, but the unruly Russians.

Midhart shook his head: "Ivanov, the commander-in-chief of the Russian army, hated us so much that he didn't even show his face, so he kicked out the representatives we sent in the past.

It is almost certain that negotiating with the Russians will not work. "

Abdul Hamid II's face turned pale in an instant, and the door to the negotiation was blocked. What that meant couldn't be more obvious.

The ancestors caused the disaster, and now he needs to pay the price. Whether it was the one in Vienna or the one in St. Petersburg, they all had motives to kill him.

King-killing is a felony and is condemned by the European world, with one exception: death on the battlefield.

With a loud "bang", Abdul Hamid II dropped the cup not far away and said fiercely: "Since the enemy doesn't give us a way to survive, then we will fight with them.

Start the destruction plan, even if we are finished, we have to drag them to bury, everyone goes together..."

...

The war in the Near East had entered its final stage, and the "guano war" had also come to an end. Chile, Bolivia, and Peru finally came to the negotiating table.

The British defended their hegemony in South America with practical actions, suppressing the two challengers to Fao.

Affected by the game of great powers, Bolivia and Peru, the two unlucky ones, were successfully promoted to losers.

I can't blame the backstage for the lack of power. Even if they lost control of the sea, Faao and the two still try to find a way to control things.

The money was sent in, but unfortunately they were not up to their expectations, and they all lost on the battlefield by two to one.

You must know that in order to ensure their logistical supplies, Austria also hit the Colombian government with a sap, and now Colombia has not come out of the civil war.

In this cruel world, the fist is the right to speak. If Peru and Bolivia lost on the battlefield, they naturally couldn't get tough at the negotiating table.

This South American war seems to have lasted for more than three years, but in fact the casualties on all sides were not large.

Of course, this "not big" is also relative to Europe, and it will hurt the vitality of the three little rookies.

16,000 were killed in Chile, 19,000 and 17,000 were killed in Bolivia and Peru, respectively. The casualties far exceeded those in the same period in history. It can be said to be the largest war in the history of South America.

The three countries of Britain, France and Austria are very busy, and now there is no time to toss in South America, and there is no foreign powers to add chaos. This negotiation is going very smoothly.

Without any accident, Chile, the victor, won the coveted Atacama Desert, and Bolivia, the most unlucky one, lost all access to the sea and became a landlocked country.

The failed attempts in South America did not surprise Franz. The British world hegemony was shot down by the Royal Navy, how could it be so easily shaken?

Moreover, the price paid by the Vienna government has also paid off. Leaving aside the half-dead brother in Bolivia, Franz's dark-spotting plan has been completed.

Taking the South American war as an opportunity, provided an excuse for Austria to plan the Panama independence movement, and did not cause the anger of the South American countries.

Today, the Panama Independence Organization has controlled a quarter of the territory of the Republic of Colombia, often beating Colombian government troops to the ground.

This is still the result of the intentional control of the Governor's Office of Austrian Central America, otherwise independent organizations have swept the whole of Colombia.

It sounds awesome, but that's actually the case. There are more than two million people in the Republic of Colombia, old and young, and the number of whites is less than a quarter.

It's normal to fail an independent organization, after all, it's just a vest thrown out on the surface, and the force is still an Austrian colonist.

Fighting for oneself is always easy to overwhelm. The colonial government of Austrian Central America gave a promise: whoever won the territory would belong to whoever.

Then, the influx of civilian colonial teams quickly made the Colombian government doubt life.

The Panama Independence Organization, which is said to be good, is now drinking the "Magdalena River", why hasn't it stopped?
