Ankara, what is happening inside the city of Ava has already been reported. Thanks to this good news, Abdulaziz I, who was in a good mood, generously spared Major General Ozgül, who abandoned the city and left.

The "slaughter of the city" has become good news, and it has to be said that the Ottoman Empire has been completely abolished. If it had been another time, the Sudanese government would have sent troops to retaliate long ago.

Now, let's use diplomacy! It's not that Abdulaziz I doesn't want to retaliate, it's that he really can't win.

"Immediately publish the news, call on the people to resist to the death, and tell the people that the evil enemy wants to destroy the ****, and we have reached a critical moment of life and death.

The Foreign Office continued to communicate with Britain and France, asking them to intervene in the war. Expose the tragedy of Ava to the international media, expose the atrocities of the enemy on the European continent, and mobilize international public opinion to condemn Austria and Russia. ”

Hopes for international intervention are forced out by the harsh realities. In recent days, the coastal cities of the Ottoman Empire have been largely greeted by the Austrian navy, and many inland cities, including Ankara, have also been bombed by airships.

The Sudanese government did not fail to organize a counterattack, and even they shot down an airship. But this is not helpful at all for the overall situation.

The Austrian airship unit originally had no target to bomb indiscriminately, even if there was a rifle attack, which allowed them to increase their flight altitude, but where could a target as big as a city go?

As long as the bomb is thrown into the city, the goal is achieved, and the factory and material warehouse are blown up, and it is considered to be profitable.

As a result of the bombing, Abdulaziz I moved out of the palace and to his estates in the suburbs, followed by the top government officials.

There was no way, dozens of airships appeared over the palace and swam together, making Abdulaziz I a frightened bird.

Ava is only a few hundred kilometers away from Ankara, which is exactly within the range of airship bombing, and it is not to say that Ankara has naturally become the focus of the bombing, and the royal palace of Abdulaziz I has become the focus of the focus.

Who told him to make the palace so big? If it's smaller, maybe you won't be able to find the airship in the sky.

The results of the bombing were all due to luck, including Ankara, which was taken care of, and in fact did not kill many people, but the panic caused by it could not be solved.

The rich people ran away, and the rest were a bunch of poor ghosts who couldn't run. The fact that the number of emigrants in the Ottoman Empire in recent months has exceeded that of the last five years combined, speaks volumes.

Rich people run away, and the purchasing power of the market declines. Many cities in the Ottoman Empire were depressed, and their economies were devastated.

Since the outbreak of the war, the Sudanese government's industrial and commercial tax revenues have collapsed, and the government's financial crisis has become increasingly serious. If this continues, sooner or later the Ottoman Empire will be finished.

……

London, the news of Ava's massacre came, and the city boiled. Newspapers are working overtime to catch up with the news, and no one will give up this breaking point.

Although Ava was a little farther away and there was no telegraph connection, there was no way to collect information from the field. But it doesn't matter, you can make up for it.

Every good newspaper editor is a little expert at making up stories. Just make up the reasoning in your brain, it's a good article.

The "truth" is not up to them, as long as it is not too exaggerated, they are not afraid of being a goof. Since it was a massacre, it was enough to highlight the brutality of the Russian army and the helplessness of the Ottomans.

It was as if everyone had become messengers of justice, standing on the moral high ground, and condemned the invasion of the Ottoman Empire by Austria and Russia.

Of course, there was no shortage of supporters of Russia and Austria. The Ottoman Empire has been hating for so many years, how can it be that there are no enemies?

It's just that this kind of voice can't occupy the mainstream at present. Only when the sympathy of the population has been exhausted will the newspapers expose the dark history of the Ottoman Empire.

Only by the magnificent report can the newspaper be increased. If you let it all out at once, where can you find so much big news?

In the Downing Street Prime Minister's residence, Prime Minister Gelston is worried about the current situation. The domestic Irish problem has not been resolved for a long time, and the international mess has returned.

The Ottoman Empire was fighting bitterly with Austria and Russia in the Near East, and the London government did not want to see the end of the Ottoman Empire.

The occurrence of the "massacre" of Ava was supposed to be the best opportunity to intervene. Unfortunately, their best helper, Napoleon III, died not so long ago, and the Prussians set their sights on the Kingdom of Poland.

There are no thugs to be found on the continent, and the London government, even if it wants to intervene, cannot do anything.

In the Russo-Turkish War in the original time and space, the British could intervene strongly, which was based on the fact that all European countries did not want to see the expansion of the Russian Empire, and Queen Victoria made a strong statement.

Gelston said solemnly: "The Ottoman Empire is about to lose its hold. We have just received news that the Austrians have sent troops to the Middle East, and may not be long before they arrive in Jerusalem.

Now the Ottoman Empire is unable to solve the crisis in Asia Minor and is simply unable to support the Middle East.

If we don't want to see Austria and Russia divide the Ottoman Empire and extend their tentacles into Persia, we have to find a way to intervene. ”

Foreign Secretary McLean: "Your Excellency, interference is inevitable, but the time is not yet ripe.

Less than a month after the death of Napoleon III and the accession to the throne by Napoleon IV, the French government was in shambles.

The opposition, which was suppressed by Napoleon III, jumped out at this time, and it is possible that the Paris government will be in a state of infighting for years to come.

The election for the Polish throne was about to be voted for, and without external intervention, Wilhelm I's victory was almost certain.

I suspect that the Berlin government will be able to make a deal with Vienna, and now that France is in infighting, the Prussian ambitions will succeed if Austria does not intervene.

At this time, if we want to intervene in the war in the Near East, we cannot find any strong allies on the European continent, and we can't count on our incorruptible tongue to let Austria and Russia compromise, right? ”

Does Britain have the weapons to counterbalance Austria and Russia? The answer is: Yes.

It's a pity that it's not powerful enough, or it doesn't work at all. For example, in the loan agreement signed between Britain and Russia, the London government could cut off the money bag of the tsarist government at any time.

But these loans also have an exchange of interests. The Russians joined the British-dominated monetary system, and they provided the loan.

If the agreement was indeed torn up, the tsarist government would inevitably withdraw from the pound-gold system, which the British financial consortium would never have agreed to.

The monetary reform of the ruble to the pound has only just begun, and it will be at least a few years before it is completed, and the tsarist government will have to hold it before the plan is completed.

It is more troublesome to threaten Austria, and if it is not good, there will be a war, and if two countries that can't kill the other will start fighting, it will only cheapen the third party.

Unless it is a last resort, it is not possible for the London government to make such a decision under normal circumstances. The foreign policy of the British will always revolve around national interests, and they will not do anything that harms themselves and others.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Laruch Lloyd questioned: "Is it mad for the Viennese government to allow Prussia to annex Poland?" ”

Foreign Secretary Maclean: "The Vienna government is not crazy, Prussia's desire to annex Poland is not something that can be done in a short time, and the first step is only now taken."

The first to bear the brunt of the Prussian-Polish merger was the Russian Empire, and even if it was to be worried, it was a headache for the tsarist government.

There will be a war between Prussia and Russia, and this time may be within ten years. Now the war is extraordinary, and the losses caused by the two great powers fighting are absolutely astronomical.

If Prussia wanted to threaten Austria bigger, at least until they completely crushed the Russian Empire. Until then, the Berlin government will not challenge Vienna.

If the Austrians were able to achieve the German Confederation, the gap in strength between the two sides would widen, and the strategic advantage over Prussia would also be formed.

Perhaps Franz the Great was still waiting for the Prussians to kill his good allies, and Austria to accept the Russian inheritance in the Balkans, I do not believe that they had no idea about Constantinople. ”

Laruch Lloyd nodded: "It's a tragedy for the Russians to have such allies. Ironically, Austria is now considered the most reliable ally in Europe, and the credibility of the Vienna government is still considered to be the highest. ”

No one took up the subject, and the credibility of the Vienna government was the highest in Europe, which was built up by a series of international events.

It's not something that can happen that can be discredited. Nothing has happened, and who can guarantee that it will happen?

If, within the time limit set by the Covenant, the Viennese government hits the attention of its allies, it will certainly be discredited. If the covenant had ended, there would have been no moral pressure.

It's impossible to form an alliance for a day, and everyone will always be good friends. No one who plays international politics is so naïve.

In recent years, the London government has also tried to change its international image, but there are too many cases of them selling their teammates, and everyone is on guard.

Even though Britain, France and Austria formed an alliance, the private alliance between France and Austria still existed and was not declared invalid.

Originally, the London government joined the Franco-Austrian alliance in order to break up, but when it was discovered that the alliance could bring greater benefits, it immediately changed its approach. While sowing discord between France and Austria, they are also defending the Triple Alliance.

Britain, France and Austria were all colonial powers, and everyone was fed up and became vested interests in the international order, and the British took the lion's share.

In contrast, it is the rising stars of the emerging powers that are the real threat. After all, resources and markets are limited, the old empires eat meat in big bowls, and the emerging powers can't even drink soup. If you don't have a little idea in your heart, how can it be?

Had it not been for the fear of the rise of the emerging powers, Prussia had merged with Poland a few years earlier.

Prussia and Poland had a common enemy, Prussia had a great influence on Poland, and Wilhelm I was always a favourable contender for the Polish throne.

Many people believe that only two countries can work closely together to resist the invasion of a common enemy.

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Russian Empire, even if it is in decline, is still a large European country, which puts heavy pressure on the two countries.

Not to mention the Russian Empire, even the declining Ottoman Empire, many people still stubbornly think that they are a great power.

After a moment of silence, Prime Minister Gelston asked cautiously: "So what do you think of William I becoming King of Poland, should we stop it?" ”

This question is also a headache, the Kingdom of Prussia is the younger brother of the British, but this little brother is a little too strong to be controlled at all. Once Prussia annexed Poland, this little brother was gone.

Chancellor of the Exchequer, Laluk Lloyd: "The annexation of Poland by Prussia will not affect us much, but it will not allow them to succeed easily.

Isn't there gossip that the Berlin government wants to make a deal with France and Austria in exchange for their approval?

True or false aside, but what can Prussia trade? If they are allowed to complete the deal, France and Austria may become even bigger, and there is no room for small countries on the European continent.

This is very dangerous, and if they continue to merge like this, it will become more and more difficult to limit it in the future. Individually, France and Austria surpass us in terms of the total volume of their own economies.

If they continue to expand, perhaps in the future they will not need to unite, and any country will have the strength to threaten us.

The strength of the Royal Navy is also what we have piled up with countless pounds. France and Austria have the ability to build a royal navy if they are not focusing on land power. ”

This threat, Britain has already felt. Unlike the original time and space, France and Austria are now snowballing.

Perhaps the per capita income is not as good as that of Britain, but relying on the large number of people, both France and Austria have counterattacked in terms of economic aggregate.

Britain's industrial supremacy is now in jeopardy, and after the outbreak of the Second Industrial Revolution, they have lost their advantage in new industries.

With a strong family background, they can still support themselves, but the crisis is already brewing. If it weren't for the vast colonies that gave them confidence, perhaps many people felt the crisis.

It's a pity that all this has been covered up. Laluck Lloyd only saw the increasing revenues of France and Austria, which made him feel uneasy.
