In Western Asia, under the slaughter of the "Persian Blade", the large army of refugees soon scattered and fled, and the Ottoman government could no longer control the fate of the refugees.

In addition to the dead, only a small number of the remaining refugees made their way to the Persian hinterland, and many more returned to the Ottoman Empire.

People are afraid of death, and in the face of the Persians who raised their butcher knives, the refugees have already been cowardly.

It was easy to go out and difficult to go home, and it was so difficult to send the refugees out, how could the Ottoman government accept this trouble again?

After the successful expulsion of the refugees, Major General Shendilke, who already has the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulders, is likely to be promoted to another rank if he can solve the immediate troubles.

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

The media must thank him for his actions, so that everyone has no shortage of hot news this year. In the aftermath of the Holocaust in Persia, newspaper sales rose by 30% across Europe.

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 Shendilk ignored it and was already playing with a pair of walnuts in his hand. After half a sound, he asked lightly: "Do you remember how our ancestors established the Ottoman Empire?" ”

Everyone was directly dumbfounded, how the Ottoman Empire was established is clearly recorded in the history books. Although it is quite embellished, the general situation is still recorded.

However, this question does not seem to have anything to do with the matter at hand. After a pause, seeing that no one answered, Shendilk was not angry.

In these years, the quality of the Ottoman Empire's officers was miserable, and there were few really capable officers, because of the war in the Near East, many people also carried the black pot and were held accountable - retired, and most of the rest were related households.

Shendilke, such a well-born and capable officer, is rare.

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

As long as you want to do things seriously, you must be mentally prepared to be attacked, and in this harsh environment, most people's first thought is to protect themselves.

Shendilk's notoriety so quickly was in fact the work of a rival, otherwise how would the outside world know that he was the one who deported the refugees?

In the face of the harsh reality, Shendilk does not expect his subordinates to be very shrewd and capable, as long as they can complete the tasks assigned by him as required, it will be enough.

"You are familiar with the word "The law of the jungle", right?"

"When we encountered natural disasters, how our ancestors survived, you must have heard of it.

In the final analysis, there is only one - reducing Ding, whether it is waging war externally or carrying out internal purging, in essence, it is to reduce Dingkou, and people will have enough food to eat.

Now there are so many refugees out there, and we can't save them even if we want to. In that case, let's use the oldest method - the law of the jungle. ”

Everyone's expressions changed greatly, as if they had undergone Daigo empowerment, and suddenly woke up and slapped their ass.

The angry Shendilke slapped the table, and the words had come to this point, and there was still no one to answer. Obviously, everyone is a smart person, unwilling to take responsibility, and wants to protect themselves.

"Enough! Tell the refugees that we don't have enough food, and that according to the ancient traditions of our ancestors, only the strong will survive.

Only by getting five heads can you be eligible to survive. They can be submitted in batches, sent to register and make a register, and they are allowed to use any means outside the barracks. ”

Shendilke is too lazy to pay attention to everyone, afraid of what kind of climate can it become to take responsibility? You must know that this is not the same as in the past, and it is the Ottoman al-Shabaab that is now in power.

Idealism is the most terrible, and they can sacrifice everything to achieve their goals. You don't even want your own life, let alone a bunch of refugees?

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

There were so many refugees from outside, and the Ottoman government did not have enough food relief, and for the sake of domestic stability, it had to keep them out of the country.

In this context, allowing refugees to kill each other is undoubtedly the best option. Don't look at Shendilk saying that if you get five heads, you can be qualified to survive, and the survival rate seems to be one in six.

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

Can these people really survive? Stop dreaming. Those who survived with five heads were haters, and if these guys who had grievances against the Ottoman Empire were allowed to survive, it is estimated that no one would be able to sleep.

Shendilk is ready for default, and it is not considered a default. Killing was anti-French, and in the Ottoman Empire it was no exception.

This kind of existence of killing several people in a row is a repeat offense wherever it is placed, and it is not too much to execute them directly.

Ruthless may be, but in Shendilk's opinion, he is cleaning up hidden dangers for the empire. If we don't, these refugees will flood into the Ottoman Empire, and the whole country will be ruined.

In the face of cruel reality, there is no such thing as good and evil. In these cruel times, everyone is trying to survive.

Soft-hearted, you can't survive in this era of the jungle.

……

After a long period of fleeing the famine, the nerves of the refugees have actually reached the verge of collapse, and many have even collapsed.

The order of Shendilk came, which undoubtedly ignited the last madness. I don't know who took the lead, but the camp was completely chaotic.

Except for a few people who still had their senses, they took the opportunity to flee to the edge, and most of them frantically attacked the people around them, as if they wanted to exchange the other party's head for their own life.

There is no hell on earth.

……

Vienna Palace, looking at the information in his hand, Franz was also stunned by the Ottoman manipulation. He did not scold the Ottoman government with the outside newspapers, but rationally analyzed and summed up the gains and losses.

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

At least in terms of ruthlessness, European countries are beyond the reach of dust. They are not only ruthless to their enemies, but even more ruthless to their own people.

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

Don't look at Shendilk being scolded badly, in Franz's opinion, he was pushed out to bear the blame, and it was the Ottoman government in Ankara who was really qualified to make decisions.

Prime Minister Felix: "We still underestimate the Ottoman Empire, and this ruthlessness should not be underestimated.

I propose to intensify the suppression of the Ottoman Empire, take this opportunity to intervene with troops, support the independence of the Armenians, and leave no chance for the Ottoman Empire to rise. ”

Those who are stunned are afraid of the horizontal, and those who are horizontal are afraid of dying.

This sentence also applies to the country, and anyone will feel a headache when they encounter a country that does not want to die. The current Ottoman Empire is a bit of a desperate thing.

The prestige of the Ottoman Empire, which has been established for hundreds of years, has not been so easily dissipated. 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 should not be underestimated, but after this battle, it is impossible for them to revive.

It's the industrial age, and population is the most valuable asset. How many people did the Ottoman Empire still have, and how many of them were young and able-bodied?

If the Ottoman Empire wanted to develop, it would have to take decades of hard work. This is only a theoretical figure, and it does not take into account the ethnic and religious issues in the country at all.

Supporting the independence of the Armenians now seems to have weakened the Ottoman Empire, but it has actually done the Sultan government a great favor. The reduction of a piece of land has also alleviated the ethnic contradictions in the country.

Rather than this, it is better to secretly support the Armenian independence movement and let them deplete the power of the Ottoman Empire internally.

By the way, strengthen the confidence of Britain and France, so that they can devote part 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 doesn't look down on the Ottoman Empire, but the reality tells him that the Ottoman Empire has lost the possibility of rising.

It is unknown whether the current Ottoman Empire has a population of 10 million, including a large number of ethnic minorities, and the population will be further reduced after the end of the civil war.

In order to industrialize, the Ottoman Empire had to solve not only the problem of labor shortages, but also the religious problems at home.

By the time they've solved these problems, the time has passed. Until these fundamental problems are resolved, even with the support of Britain and France, they can at best build an army that looks quite effective on the surface.

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 aspects. Merely training a new army doesn't really do much.
