My Italian

,

The atmosphere in Colket Village was unusual today. The terrified villagers leaned closely together, looking at the Italian officers and soldiers who surrounded them.

"Everyone, according to the decree from Rome, Italian citizenship cannot be granted to you. In addition, according to the immigration law, you have half a day to pack up your property and leave Albania for Ottoman. Now please pack your things."

A government official, accompanied by an interpreter, loudly announced the order from Rome to the surrounded villagers.

Sure enough, this will expel their order, immediately causing a commotion in the crowd. If it weren't for the Italian officers and soldiers with live ammunition all around, the villagers would have wanted to tear the shouting official to pieces.

At this time, they could only fight back with their own words.

"My family has lived here for generations, you can't do this."

"Why expel us, we have to protest!"

"We don't want to leave!"

The chattering voices expressed the anger of the residents at the scene, but in the face of the anger of these locals, the government officials present did not care.

I saw him take out his pocket watch and look at the time on it. "It's 9:12, at 13:12 you have to leave."

Although his voice was not loud, it was very intimidating and silenced the noise on the scene.

He was satisfied with the effect, so he continued talking while watching the crowd. "So, everyone, hurry up and pack your things, otherwise you forgot what you didn't take, but you won't be able to come back."

Following his words, the scene was full of chickens and dogs again, and the Dagans and others immediately rushed back to their respective homes to clean up. Only two or three kittens were left at the scene.

Among the two or three, one of the old men's dress caught the attention of government officials, because he was dressed in priestly attire and looked like an imam.

I saw him walk up to the government official with a serious face. "Your Excellency, aren't you afraid of international public opinion and the violent reaction of the majority of *** believers when your country treats us like this?"

In the face of this imam who still has some world views, the government officials looked at each other with a slight stern look. "Then which country will stand up for you? The Ottomans have just suffered a defeat, and other powerful countries will not pay much attention to you. As for the public opinion, it is impossible to influence the government. As for your followers, what does it have to do with our country, as long as they dare to Make trouble on our turf and we will make them regret not returning to God's arms."

In the face of government officials who are incapable of entering the market, this imam has no other choice. He just wants to incite everyone to resist, look at the heavily armed Italian officers and soldiers around him, and don't let the people of Arab suffer any more.

At 13:12 in the afternoon, the local people who were reunited, dragged their families and brought what they could bring, were escorted by Italian officers and soldiers and left their hometown where they raised them. The sound of weeping and crying along the way was not desolate.

As for the dealers in the houses, a large number of Italian immigrants will take care of them in the future, and of course they will not be able to take them away from them in the future.

Tragedy in villages like Colquit can be seen everywhere in Albania and Kosovo. On this day, Italy dispatched 100,000 officers, soldiers and government officials to detain and drive out various villages and towns.

Most of these expelled people will pass through the Macedonian region and be sent to the Ottoman territory, and a few people who believe in the Orthodox Church and Catholicism will be accepted by the three countries of Saibaoxi.

Of course, these local residents are not all resigned people, and many people are unwilling to leave like this, and various resistances break out. And most of those who resisted were suppressed by heavily armed officers and soldiers, waiting for them to be put into various mining areas for labor reform.

And there are some people who are lucky to escape, they are temporarily out of danger, but they will face endless encirclement and suppression.

Beginning in February 1891, waves of resistance in Albania and Kosovo continued. In the peak of March, there were more than 400 attacks of various kinds. These ethnic Albanians, who were unwilling to leave, tried every means to attack the Italian government, the army, and immigrants.

However, although the frequency of attacks was very high at the beginning, the resistance of these people was rootless. After the local people were driven away, they lacked necessary supplies, weapons and personnel.

After Italy expelled most of the local people, the army was dispatched to intensify the crackdown. The results are also surprisingly good. In the second half of September, the number of attacks has dropped to less than 30 per month, and it has continued to decline irreversibly. By January 1893, the last rebels had been wiped out, and Albania and Kosovo had become a sacred and inseparable part of the Kingdom of Italy.

This is all a follow-up result. As for now, although Italy has made various moves to block news, how could it not be known about the large-scale operation to expel nearly 600,000 people from the two places at one time.

The Free Star newspaper in France was the first to report extensively on the humanitarian disaster caused by the expulsion of Italians in Albania and Kosovo.

Other newspapers subsequently quoted that within three days, the entire civilized world knew about it.

For this reason, various countries have asked the Italian government about this matter, and they have shied away from the past on the grounds that the Italian army is destroying the rebels.

However, the Ottoman side issued a serious protest. For the Ottoman protest, the Italian government threw its letter of protest into the garbage.

However, this incident could not be concealed for long, because a large number of local people who were driven out passed through the Macedonia region and appeared in Austrian South Macedonia.

And with the emergence of these refugees, a large number of Italian actions on the ground have been exposed.

In the face of such a situation, the Italian side cannot shirk, and the pressure of international public opinion on Italy is not small.

To this end, the Ottoman Empire, which had just lost the war, issued a serious statement, claiming that the Italians in Albania and Kosovo were ethnic cleansing. Ottoman also carried out ethnic cleansing against local Armenians in Armenia by Italian Foreign Minister Jemini Bacona.

The Ottoman purge of Armenians is no secret to Europe. Although the Armenian genocide had not yet occurred in the Ottomans at this time, it was not soft against Armenians who believed in Christianity, and various extortionate taxes and arbitrary oppression were commonplace.

No one paid attention to it before, and it was more that the region in which it was located was of no interest to all countries, with the exception of Russia. However, it is not too good to live Armenians in Russia. They are all older brothers, not second brothers.

In the face of Italy's trivial incident with Armenia, the Ottomans didn't know what to say for a while, but in the end it turned into a dog-eat-dog rubbish.

Although Italy solved the Ottoman censure with the Armenian issue~www.NovelMTL.com~, the government still has huge pressure.

Because British Prime Minister Cecil issued a statement condemning Italy's actions in the Balkans.

As for why the British suddenly jumped out, it was more because after Italy seized a large amount of Ottoman territory, Italy had threatened the safety of the eastern Mediterranean, especially the Suez Canal, which was crucial to it, and was an Italian colony at both ends. .

This statement of the British is more of a beating. Although the United Kingdom needs Italy to contain France, it does not want to see Italy's strength in the Mediterranean soaring. Therefore, adding some obstacles to Italy's actions in the Balkans is for Whitehall. , which is reasonable.

After the United Kingdom expressed its own views, France, the United States, Russia and other countries issued statements of condemnation, condemning Italy for ethnic cleansing in the Balkans. This has left a bad reputation for Italy in the international arena.

But no matter what the outside world says, Italy's actions in the Balkans have not stopped at all.

While the Balkans were carrying out vigorous operations, the Libyan region, which also belongs to Italy, was not idle either.
