Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Chapter 37, Armenian Uprising

A wave of unresolved waves rises again and again!

Just as Bulgaria was preparing for war, the Ottoman Empire made another big news - the Armenians were against it!

Of course, the Armenians rebelled, and it was not a matter of a day or two, but this time it was different. They succeeded in their uprising!

This is Ferdinand's pot. In order to cause trouble for the Ottoman Empire, he also specially allocated money to set up a special operations command a few years ago.

The rising star in the intelligence department, Morka-Waldo, is responsible for leading the intelligence work of the Ottoman Empire. There is only one task, and that is to cause trouble to the Sudanese government!

Whether it is provoking government infighting, supporting revolutionary parties, or creating ethnic conflicts, or religious conflicts, you can! Even if it is to spread rumors, it is okay to create something out of nothing.

Unexpectedly, Morka Valdo, who just took office, did not live up to Ferdinand's expectations and made a big news.

Since 1893, in order to alleviate the domestic economic crisis, the Sudanese government has intensified the oppression of ethnic minorities. Ethnic conflicts intensified, among which Armenians danced the most and began to fight for independence.

In 1894, in order to suppress the Armenian independence movement, a bloody massacre was carried out. But this time and space, due to Ferdinand's intervention, has become different.

Bulgaria's steady stream of arms was sent to the Armenians. In the face of the brutal repression by the Sudanese government, the Armenians took up arms and rose up to resist, a premeditated massacre that turned into a civil war!

Of course, the civilians can't fight against the regular army, and even if the Armenians rise up to resist, it is only in exchange for the intensified suppression by the Sudanese government.

Historically, it was not until June 1896 that Armenia launched a large-scale uprising in Constantinople. This time and space was advanced to February 1896, and the scale was much larger. The uprising also won the support of other minorities such as Greeks and Jews!

Going back in time, on January 24, 1896, the Armenian Dilange owed a usury loan to the Turkish aristocrat Gozd, which he could not repay under the rolling interest.

But Mr. Gozde is not easy to mess with. In his anger, he took someone to collect the debt. He wanted to take Di Lange's daughter to pay off the debt. The two sides clashed.

Gozd's men beat Dilange to death and took his daughter away. Before leaving, to vent their anger, they set a fire and burned down their house.

The problem lies in this fire, Digrand lives in a slum, a gathering place for Armenians. It is said that the house is actually a shack, and there are also piles of firewood, which are very easy to burn.

If it's normal, it's fine, the surrounding residents will come to put out the fire, and it can be put out soon, and at most, it will burn a few hapless people nearby.

But this time it was an exception. The Bulgarian intelligence agent Viktorkis Georgiev, who successfully infiltrated the Armenian resistance group, was on the scene.

He knew that the actions of the Turkish nobleman Gozd had angered the Armenians, but after a long period of oppression, these ordinary people had become as numb as corpses and dared not stand up.

So he made a decisive decision, seized the opportunity, shot Gozd who was about to leave, hit his chest, and left quickly. When things went badly, the nobleman was shot, and of course the common people ran away, who cares about putting out the fire!

Once it is implicated, the Ottoman government no matter how much, they will all lose their heads! Not to mention Gozd's subordinates, who has the energy to put out the fire?

Then, the fire grew bigger and bigger, spreading rapidly around. This year, there is no professional fire brigade. By the time the government officials arrived, the fire had already spread.

Fortunately, most of the buildings in Constantinople were made of stone, and they stopped after burning down the slums. If it is placed in Japan, where wooden buildings are the mainstay, a city might be finished!

Even so,

The fire still killed dozens of people, injured hundreds, and left tens of thousands of people homeless! In addition to Armenians, it also includes some Greeks, Bulgarians, Jews and other ethnic minorities.

Victor Keith Georgiev, who had already infiltrated the Armenian army, immediately reported the atrocities of the Turks to the resistance organization. When he got the news, the angry Armenian Revolutionaries immediately organized a demonstration!

Ask the Sudanese government to punish the murderer and compensate the people for their losses! Obviously, the reasonable demands of the Armenians were not accepted, but instead ushered in the suppression of the military and police.

Under the pressure of survival, these tens of thousands of people were united by Victor Keith in the name of a resistance organization, and Morka, who received the news, made a decisive decision and provided him with support.

Two thousand rifles and more than 100,000 rounds of ammunition were delivered to the Armenian resistance organization. Under the instigation of Victor Keith, everyone unanimously decided to revolt!

Of course, it is not enough to not rebel. The belongings of these tens of thousands of refugees have been destroyed by the fire. What to eat next meal is a problem!

A vigorous uprising broke out. Because of Victor Keith's good performance, the key is to get weapons, so it is logical to become one of the leaders of the rebel army!

Compared with others, Victor Keith has received professional training anyway, and has also participated in the Serbian uprising, so he has rich experience in rebellion.

With his rich experience, he took the lead in conquering the police station, robbed the arsenal, and quickly expanded the team. Whether it was Armenians, Greeks, Bulgarians or Jews, they were all open to all. up.

Then, with the snowball-like growth, he continued to loot in Constantinople. After capturing the Ottoman Bank building, he moved the treasury and blew up the building directly.

Anyway, his task is only to destroy. As for the history of Armenians occupying the bank building and negotiating with the Ottoman Empire, it naturally does not exist.

Why is Constantinople also one of the capitals of the Ottoman Empire, and there are still a lot of garrisoned troops. Victor Keith knows very well that this group of rabble insurgents cannot defeat the regular army!

After the insurgent army captured the government building, it was already the eighth day of the uprising, and the Ottoman Empire had responded no matter how slow it was.

After Victor Keith burned the materials, he decisively handed over the building to the provisional government established by the resistance organization, under the pretext of arranging street fighting, in fact, he was ready to run away.

As for the composition of the army, I'm sorry that these are not the issues that Victor Keith considers. In order to expand the revolutionary opposition, these are all subsections. As long as the vote is submitted, everyone will be their own!

So the Turks in Constantinople came to Damou. There is no doubt that the "name submission" was the best leader of the Turkish nobleman. His move was quickly imitated by the insurgent army!

There is revenge for revenge, there is grudge and complaint!

The entire Constantinople has been in chaos, and the provisional government established by the Armenians is simply unable to control the situation. Rape and kidnapping is happening in this city!
