"It is said that this trick was given by a combat staff officer of the Ottoman Army General Staff, or Hamid II who recommended him to him by Qin Hanting." Yuan Shikai said with a smile.
"Oh, what a talent. I didn't expect that even their broken country could have such a talent. What's his name? Please come to us someday to communicate with the people from the General Staff." Yang Feng said in surprise.
"It seems that his name is Kemal, and the Qin and Han Dynasties really wanted to get him. The main battle plan for this Ottoman counterattack was made by him, and he was very good at military command." Yuan Shikai said.
Yang Feng curled his lips. Of course, the founder of Turkey, he has a way, but does Xiaokai want to be killed? Now Emperor Yang's first reaction when seeing foreign talents is to kill him, but after thinking about it, he still forgets it. After all, he really wants to kill him.
He still needs Hamid II to be his mainstay. He only has such a talented person who can take the lead. If he is killed, is it possible to let a loudmouth like Enver command the army?
As for the question of whether Xiao Kai will engage in revolution as he did in history, there is no need to consider this at all. Hamid II is now being worshiped in the army. The image of the emperor is brilliant and a generation of heroes.
The Lord is rising, and the soil of the Ottoman Empire's revolution is extremely barren.
In the final analysis, the so-called revolution is nothing more than those who are crazy and poor and want to use violence to redistribute social wealth. As for those socialist ideas and the like, they are just used to fool others into following suit. Of course, it is also possible that they themselves
They were fooling around together. In essence, it was still a robbery of money and women. It was just a different way of wearing a vest and pants. Who would play that thing when there was food and drink?
The French Revolution of Liberty, Equality, Fraternity or Death, no matter how magnificent it was described by later generations, to put it bluntly, it was just that the price of bread increased by half. Louis XVI provided enough bread subsidies to every French household in Paris to ensure that it would not
When both husband and wife went to the guillotine, everything else was illusory, and interests were the most real thing.
Although the Ottoman Empire at this time was still far away from having food and drink, with the support of oil revenue, Hamid II had completely got rid of the situation where he had no ability to make money and could only skin the people. There was no need to resort to extortionate expropriation.
In order to maintain the operation of his military and political system and his own extravagant life, his dividends from Imperial Oil last year reached 5 million pounds. This does not include the government tax revenue brought to him. He can still make a fortune from this war. No.
Speaking of war reparations, he gained a lot just by looting Bulgaria. It is not easy to win over people's hearts with money in hand.
You can casually cut taxes, open a few new factories, build a few railways, or follow Yang Feng's example and directly issue banknotes and grain to the people. People are easy to fool. All they want is food and clothing. He
That country's demand for clothing is even smaller. As for eating, it's not simple. The domestic grain production is not enough to go out and buy it. The United States and Brazil have bumper grain harvests every year. The price is so cheap that it makes people cry. Buy a boat and deliver it to the people for free.
.It can make the poor people in a city burst into tears of gratitude to him, and nip unrest in the bud. This can also attack the big princes who own land and strengthen their control over the country.
Yang Feng has been playing like this over the years. Whenever there is a disaster or food shortage, he will send a ship for free in the name of the emperor, earning the tears of the people. Of course, his intention is deeper.
For him, this not only helps win over people's hearts, but also keeps domestic grain prices at a level that makes growing grain unprofitable, and then forces farmers to move to cities and landlords' funds to industry. He hides behind
Later, he purchased land on a large scale and built royal agricultural demonstration fields. He hired people to plant modern improved seeds and research new agricultural technologies. Although there was still no profit, he turned him into a super big landowner. According to the land area, the royal family owned
The cultivated land area has exceeded one-fifth of the country's cultivated land area.
Another advantage of doing this is that it can make Americans like farming more, attack their industry, support their agriculture, and completely turn the United States into an agricultural country. This is Yang Feng's national policy. As for the consequences of this, China's
The issue of gold flowing to the United States is too simple. Look at how much money they have made, wouldn't they find an excuse to invade and then take it back?
This is Emperor Yang’s version of shearing wool.
The negotiations in Rome followed the script written by Kemal for Hamid II. After having Montenegro as a good example, the Greeks immediately took action and used the Serbian newspaper to be rude to the Greek king and navy.
His words had seriously hurt the feelings of the Greek people, so they decided to withdraw from the Balkan Alliance and sue for peace with the Ottoman Empire alone.
The betrayal of the Greeks almost made the people of Serbia and Bulgaria crazy. You must know that they have now lost the ability to bargain with the Ottomans. The only hope of reducing the amount of compensation is the relatively complete Greek army. But the Greeks do this,
It was tantamount to selling them out completely. If the betrayal of the Montenegrins only hurt them emotionally, the betrayal of the Greeks was like a stab in their hearts.
However, their anger was of no use. Even if the ministers of the two countries in Greece ran to beg, they could not restore the determination of the Greeks. Soon, their separate peace talks with the Ottoman Empire were amidst the curses of a large number of Bulgarians and Serbs outside the venue.
It started, and the final result was that the Greeks paid eight million pounds in war compensation to the Ottoman Empire, and then the two sides signed a peace treaty, ending the state of war between the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Greece.
Next up is Serbia.
After Ossi signed the peace treaty, part of the Ottoman army remained to garrison at the border, and the rest of the main force moved north. Together with those who had withdrawn from Shkodra, a total of 250,000 people had joined the military threat to Serbia. By this time, they had gathered in
The number of Ottoman troops around Serbia has exceeded 700,000, which is almost one-fifth of the country's total population. Thousands of cannons of various calibers are eagerly pointing at Serbian cities.
After receiving hints from the Ottoman negotiators, the Serbs had no choice. Subsequently, the Serbian government officially announced the dissolution of the alliance between the two parties amidst the bitter pleas of the Bulgarians on the grounds that the alliance no longer existed after the withdrawal of Montenegro and Greece.
relations, and then launched separate peace talks with the Ottoman Empire. Finally, after some difficult negotiations, a peace treaty was obtained in exchange for a war indemnity of 15 million pounds.
In this way, only Bulgaria is left that has not signed the peace treaty. For them, Hamid II did not give any room for negotiation. Twenty-five million pounds. When will this money be paid out? When will the Ottoman army
To withdraw from Bulgaria, we must not lose even a penny. As for other messy conditions, we don’t want any other messy conditions. We just want money, twenty-five million pounds. Should we give it or not?
Ferdinand I accepted his fate at this time. Anyway, if he stretches out his neck and shrinks his neck, it is also a knife. Isn't it just twenty-five million pounds? Anyway, he doesn't need to pay for it himself. In the end, the more than 4 million people of the entire country will be together.
Paying the bill, as long as he can keep his throne, but the question now is, where can he get such a huge sum of money?
Being forced into a panic, this guy also resorted to rogue tactics. He went directly to the Russians and told them to either give him this loan, with any specific conditions, and do whatever they want except garrisoning troops in Bulgaria, or
I will pay it back slowly by myself. Anyway, if I don’t pay the compensation, the Ottoman army will be stationed in Bulgaria. Then we will see who is in a hurry.
He is now a dead pig and is not afraid of boiling water. The outcome of Bulgaria is nothing more than a question of who will control him in the end. The Russians control him as a puppet, and the Ottomans control him as a puppet. If Nikolai does not want Bulgaria to become the Ottoman army in the future,
Base, then help advance the money.
In addition to looking for the Russians, he also went to threaten the Romanians, either to help pay compensation, or to invite the Ottoman army to station all the way to the Romanian border. It's up to you!
As the saying goes, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, and it really worked for him to go all out and be shameless. In the end, the money was advanced to him by Russia and Romania in the form of loans, including a loan of 15 million pounds from Russia and a loan of 10 million pounds from Romania.
At this time, because Romania was supported by oil, ten million pounds was not a big sum of money. It was still a good deal for them to use this to drive the Ottoman army away.
Of course, their loans will certainly not be unconditional. In addition to customs tax guarantees and other tax guarantees, there are also a large number of political conditions attached. Especially the Russians are particularly demanding in these aspects. Anyway, the result is that Bulgaria will basically be in the future.
It was equivalent to a puppet of Russia, but Ferdinand I no longer cared about this. In fact, this was the best result for him. At least he had the big tree Nikolai to shade him. Even if the war was over, he
There is no need to worry about being kicked off the throne. You must know that at this time, the Bulgarians have already shouted slogans to overthrow him. After all, he has led his country into the abyss.
Although in a sense, he is considered a traitor to the country, but since he is the monarch and the country belongs to him, it doesn't matter whether he sells it or not.
The loan agreement and the peace treaty between Austria and Bulgaria were signed at the same time. Subsequently, the indemnity paid by the Russians and Romanians to Bulgaria was sent to Istanbul. The Ottoman army that originally occupied Sofia officially began to retreat. This war swept the entire Balkan Peninsula, causing more than a month of war between the two warring parties.
The unprecedented war that resulted in casualties of 1.2 million soldiers and civilians finally came to an end. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels!
