Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Outside the city of Tbilisi, the Ottoman Empire, a group of refugees were fleeing to the Caucasus, and along the way, people kept shouting: "Hurry up, hurry up, the Ottomans are about to catch up!"

Suddenly someone exclaimed: "No, someone fainted!"

At the same time, a burst of crying sounded. The one who fainted was a middle-aged woman who joined in halfway along the way, with her two children.

The older one is already eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest is only three or four years old, and the woman has always carried it on her back. The middle-aged woman suddenly fainted, and the child fell off her back and was crying.

Victor Keith, who was not far away, rushed over immediately after hearing the news. After checking it, he sighed and said, "There's no help, she's out of fuel!"

This kind of thing has happened too much on the way to escape, and everyone has been numb.

Victor Keith said casually and ruthlessly: "Take the child, let's continue on our way!"

Then the two soldiers quickly put the young child on the carriage, and the older child consciously kept up with the large army and continued to move forward.

That's right, the fleeing opponents are the citizens of the "United Kingdom of Three Nations". After they were massacred by the Ottoman Empire, they started their escape.

And Victor Keith also became the leader of this opposing team. As a surviving father of the Great Uprising of Constantinople, he has now become the leader of the Armenian People's Party and the interim president of the United Kingdom of the Three Nations.

This party is also the most powerful revolutionary group among Armenians today, and it also has an armed force of more than 20,000 people. The platform of the People's Party is to overthrow the Ottoman Empire and establish a democratic and free Kingdom of Armenia.

Victor Keith was the founder of this party, originally composed of revolutionaries who survived the Constantinople uprising, and then annexed some other revolutionary groups.

Now it is a large party with more than 100,000 party members.

The composition also spread from the original Armenians to other minorities.

When the World War broke out, after the Ottoman government raised the butcher’s knife to the ethnic minorities, Victor Keith immediately organized the people to revolt and established the United Kingdom of the Tri-Clan. Victor Keith personally served as the president of the provisional government. (Note: Armenians, Slavs, Greeks)

Undoubtedly, after a year of resistance, the insurrection finally failed, and the insurgent army was forced to begin the transfer.

After more than 20 years of hidden work, Victor Keith now regards himself as a member of the Armenians many times, and only remembers his original identity and mission in the dead of night.

However, Victor Keith did not regret accepting this task. He still clearly remembered how the Ottoman army slaughtered his village 40 years ago. His parents hid him in a water tank when he was young and brought him with him. The other brothers and sisters died together, and he was lucky enough to save his life.

He who survived left the small village and came to Bulgaria to take refuge with his aunt. By coincidence, he was absorbed by the intelligence organization.

After more than five years of rigorous training, Victor Keith graduated successfully and became a qualified spy. With hatred for the Ottoman Empire, he accepted this long-hidden task without hesitation.

Later, Victor Keith's life was like a hang-up. He just lurked and waited for the opportunity to cause chaos for the Ottomans. Unexpectedly, an accident detonated the Armenian uprising ahead of schedule, and he became one of the leaders of the rebel army. .

After the uprising was suppressed, he was fortunate to become the top leader of the surviving insurgent army, and then with the help of the Bulgarian intelligence organization, Victor Keith founded the Armenian People's Party, and then became the third party. President of the United Kingdom.

Although this system was suppressed by the Ottoman government within a few days, Victor Keith still gained a high reputation among the ethnic minorities within the Ottoman Empire.

Especially after the failure of the uprising, he personally led the army to the rear, and it was even more admirable to cover the retreat of the people.

Of course, this is only the result of packaging and propaganda. In fact, the Ottoman Empire has no desire to think about their bad luck. The Asia Minor Peninsula is half occupied, and Ankara is about to be precarious. Who cares about their defeated soldiers?

At this time, Victor Keith naturally needs to stand up and show off. After all, this is the best time to gain prestige, and at the same time, he can legally incorporate the armed forces of other forces.

Seeing that Victor Keith was in a bad mood, one of them comforted: "Mr. President, we will arrive in the Caucasus in a week, which is the territory of the Russians, and we will be safe when we get there!"

Victor Keith shook his head and said, "Alas, the Russians are not easy to get along with! Karma, you don't really think they will support our independent statehood, do you?"

Karma was a little surprised and said, "Didn't all the Russians promise? Besides, the Allied countries have all recognized our independence?"

Victor Keith smiled wryly and said, "That's so simple. Now we are bereaved dogs, and we have to rely on the Russians to survive. It's not easy for them to annex us?"

Karma exclaimed: "Ah! How can this be done?"

Victor Keith thought for a while and said, "Wait patiently! No matter what the result is, we have no room to resist. Even if it is annexed by the Russians, we can ensure the safety of the people, which is better than letting them be Massacre the Ottomans!"

Karma was startled, but still pretended to be unwilling to say: "But isn't our efforts in vain?"

Victor Keith smiled wryly and said, "Don't you understand? Now is the age of power, and small countries are precarious, so they are not qualified to pursue democracy and freedom! Do we have a choice whether to be annexed by this or by that?"

Obviously Victor Keith already knew about the Russians' plans, and he also knew that Karma had been in contact with the Russians, and now he deliberately showed a helpless expression, no doubt telling the Russians that he would not be stubborn. Resist the annexation of the Russians, the two sides can cooperate!

Of course, it doesn't matter if Karma hasn't joined the Russians yet. There will definitely be Russian spies in this pair, and the result will be the same no matter who sends the message!

No way, now Victor Keith is still living under the wings of the Russians. If he shows anti-Russian tendencies, it is estimated that it will be difficult to reach the Caucasus alive.

As for taking refuge with the Russians? As long as the Russians are not stupid, they will think that there is a problem. Victor Keith is already the president of the United Kingdom of the Tri-Family. People can rely on them. What good is it to rely on them?

You must know that Victor Keith's prestige is already very high, and there is no one in the United Kingdom who can compete with him. Even if he becomes an elected king later, it is not impossible. It is impossible for the Russians to drive better. conditions to buy him!

...

"President Victor Keith really said that?" Admiral Nikolai Nikolaevich Yudenich, the current commander of the Caucasus Front, asked in surprise

The chief of staff said calmly: "Yes! According to the news from our intelligence officers, President Victor Keith is very depressed now. It seems that this incident has hit him hard!"

Admiral Nikolai Nikolaevich Yudenich laughed and said: "This is good news, if Victor Kis can be persuaded to cooperate with us, whether it is to establish a pro-Russian regime or directly It's much easier to annex them!"

The United Kingdom of three tribes created by Victor Keith is a mixed kingdom. The People's Party he established is only the most powerful one. Although he completed the military unity with the help of the Ottomans, other Political groups still exist.

Due to ethnicity, the Slavs in the Tri-Nation Kingdom are naturally inclined towards Russians, but their population is limited and their influence is not large enough.

If the Russians wanted to support them, they would surely be resisted by the Greeks and Armenians, and an attempt to annex the nascent kingdom could easily provoke backlash.

On the contrary, it is easier to support Victor Keith to achieve his goal. After all, he is the president elected by everyone with high prestige. As long as he is persuaded to cooperate with the Russian Empire, it is much easier to persuade others.

The chief of staff shook his head and said: "Of course, but things are not so simple, and Victor Keith is not a simple person. Even if he is hit and won't stand up against us, it doesn't mean that he will To cooperate with us!

Fortunately, there is no final decision in the country whether to directly annex them or support the pro-Russian regime. We can also promise him casually! "

Admiral Nikolai Nikolaevich Yudenich said calmly: "No, he will definitely cooperate with us, at least until the end of the world war!

Now they also need our military protection, there is no choice at all. Moreover, Victor Keith is not without weaknesses, you don't have it now, he is very hostile to the Ottoman Empire! "

...

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, the three-family United Kingdom of bereaved dogs is of little use, but in the eyes of Russian high-level officials, this is very important, which is related to the territorial division between post-war and Bulgaria.

Having mastered the United Kingdom of the three tribes, it has also mastered the sovereignty of the Greater Caucasus, Lake Sevan, and the Arras River Basin.

(Remarks: Today, parts of Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and parts of the Caucasus of Russia and parts of Turkey, with a total area of ​​about 400,000 square kilometers)

Don't think that the relationship between Bulgaria and Russia is very good now, but when it comes to interests, everyone will still not give in an inch. With the greed of Maoxiong, they naturally don't mind taking an extra point.

Anyway, in the agreement reached by the two parties before, only the Asia Minor peninsula was agreed, and no specific division was made in the remaining areas of the Ottoman Empire. At that time, whoever has the most trump cards will definitely have the advantage in territorial allocation.

Otherwise, the Russians are not charitable, why should they send troops to rescue the joint king of the three tribes?

There are more than 2 million refugees alone. The daily expenses of so many people are astronomical. There is no shortage of people in Mao bears. Why do they want to save people?

...

Time flies, and a week later, Victor Keith arrived in the Caucasus with the last batch of refugees, and successfully completed the task of the evacuation.

"It's finally here!" Victor Keith exclaimed

A fat man ran out to give Victor Keith a hug, and then said, "Mr. President, you're finally here, this time you're worrying about us!"

Victor Keith's face changed, and he said angrily, "Ralph, you fat pig, are you trying to strangle me? Don't let go!"

Ralph let go of his hands in embarrassment and said helplessly, "Sorry, I couldn't hold back for a while! You know, we need you so much, so..."

Victor Keith said angrily, "So you're going to strangle me? Damn it, I thought this difficult journey would allow you to lose weight, but I didn't expect you to be so fat!"

Ralph shrugged and said, "You know it's impossible!"

Victor Keith nodded in agreement, and then asked suspiciously, "Why are you the only one? What about the other cabinet members?"

Ralph frowned, and then said, "Of course I'm flattering the Russians. You know, apart from me, your loyal Chancellor of the Exchequer, nobody else is so reliable!"

Victor Keith's face sank, even if he had expected someone to betray, when the day really came, he was still in a bad mood.

"Forget it, let them go!" Victor Keith said helplessly, he had already given these people a big fork in his heart, and only kicked them out of the government when the time was right.

Suddenly an attendant came over and said, "Mr. President, a Russian major general wants to see you."

Without thinking about it, Victor Keith said directly, "Please come here!"

I saw that the visitor was about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, dressed in military uniform, and met Victor Keith very enthusiastically: "Dear Mr. Victor Keith, Vasily Ivanov greets you, I represent Russia The Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Caucasus Military District - Admiral Nikolai Nikolaevich Yudenich welcomes you and invites you to Grozny in two days to attend the welcome banquet prepared for you!"

Victor Keith was startled. He was thinking about what medicine was sold in the gourd of the Russians. Why did Admiral Nicholas, the commander of the Caucasus Front, hold a welcome banquet for him alone?

After all, when the United Kingdom government arrived in the Caucasus, the reception was only a colonel. This gap is too big!

Victor Keith said calmly on the face: "Thank you! Major General Vasily please give me a message to Admiral Nikolai, and I will definitely attend on time!"

After hitting the Russians, Victor Keith and the senior officials of the interim government exchanged a few words respectively. Although it is not known how many of these people are reliable, since they appeared here, at least they show that the president is in their hearts. Still have quantity.
