v2 Chapter 37: Armenian uprising

One wave is not flat, another wave rises!

Just as Bulgaria was preparing for war, the Ottoman Empire made big news-the Armenians turned back!

Of course, the Armenian rebellion was not a day or two, but this time it was different. Their uprising was successful!

This is Ferdinand’s pot. In order to cause trouble to the Ottoman Empire, he set up a special operations command with a special allocation a year ago.

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

Whether it is to provoke the government's infighting, or support the revolutionary party, or create ethnic conflicts, or religious contradictions, you can! Even if it is spreading rumors, it can be done out of nothing.

Unexpectedly, Morka Valdo, who had just taken 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 increased its suppression of ethnic minorities. The ethnic conflicts have intensified, among which Armenians jumped the most and started to fight for independence.

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

Bulgaria’s continuous munitions were delivered to the Armenians. Facing the cruel suppression by the Sudanese government, the Armenians took up arms and rose up to resist. A premeditated massacre turned into a civil war!

Of course, civilians can't do the regular army. Even if the Armenians revolted, it was only in exchange for the Sudanese government's intensified suppression.

Historically, until June 1896, Armenian talents 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 Greeks, Jews and other minorities!

Back in time, on January 24, 1896, the Armenian Durange owed a loan shark to the Turkish aristocrat Gozd, and was unable to repay it under the profit.

But Master Gozd was not easy to provoke. When he was angry, he took someone to collect debts and wanted to take Dylange's daughter to pay off the debt. The two sides clashed.

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

The problem lies in this fire. Digeland lives in a slum, a gathering place for Armenians. It is said that the house is actually a shack with firewood piled up, which is very easy to burn.

If it’s normal, it’s fine. The surrounding residents will come to put out the fire, and it will be extinguished soon. At most, it will burn the hapless people nearby.

But this time there was an exception. The Bulgarian intelligence officer Victor Kies Georgiev, who successfully mixed into the Armenian resistance organization, 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 the corpses of their peers, and they did not dare to resist.

So decisively, seized the opportunity, shot Gozd who was about to leave, hit the chest, and left quickly. The trouble broke out, the noble master was shot, and of course ordinary people ran away immediately. Who cares about fighting the fire!

Once it is implicated, the Ottoman government will lose its head regardless of so many things! Not to mention Gozd's men, who has the energy to put out the fire?

Then, the fire grew bigger and bigger, and quickly spread to the surroundings. This year, there is no professional fire brigade. By the time the government came over, the fire had already spread.

Fortunately, most of the buildings in Constantinople were made of stone. After burning down the slums, they stopped. If it is placed in Japan, which is dominated by wooden buildings, maybe a city will be over!

Even so, the fire caused dozens of deaths, hundreds of injuries, and tens of thousands of homeless people! In addition to Armenians, this also includes some other ethnic minorities such as Greeks, Bulgarians, and Jews.

Viktorkis Georgiev, who had already been involved in the Armenian opposition, immediately reported the Turks' atrocities to the resistance organization. After receiving the news, the angry Armenian Revolutionaries immediately organized a demonstration!

Ask the Sudanese government to discipline the perpetrators and compensate the people for their losses! Obviously, the reasonable demands of the Armenians were not accepted, and instead ushered in suppression by 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. Morka, who received the news, made a decisive decision and provided him with support.

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

Of course, no rebellion will work. The homes of these tens of thousands of refugees have been destroyed by the fire. What to eat for the next meal is a problem!

A vigorous uprising broke out. Because Victor Keith did a good job, the key is to get weapons, so he became one of the leaders of the rebel army naturally!

Compared to others, Victor Kis has received professional training anyway, and also participated in the Serbian uprising. UU reading has rich experience in rebellion.

With rich experience, he took the lead in conquering the police station, robbed the arsenal, and quickly expanded the army. Whether it was Armenians, Greeks, Bulgarians, or Jews, they always refused to come. Up.

Then, with a snowball-like strong counterpart, he continued to raid in Constantinople. After he captured the Ottoman Bank building, he moved out the vault and blew up the building directly.

Anyway, his task is only to destroy. As for the Armenian occupation of the bank building in history, the negotiations with the Ottoman Empire naturally ceased to exist.

How is Constantinople also one of the capitals of the Ottoman Empire. There are still a lot of garrisons. Victor Kis knows very well that with this mob of insurgents, he can't beat the regular army!

It was the eighth day since the insurrection broke out after the rebel army captured the government building. Even if the Ottoman Empire reacted slowly, it also reacted.

Victor Kis decisively handed over the building to the provisional government established by the resistance organization after burning down the materials, under the pretext of arranging street fighting, and he was essentially ready to run away.

As for the composition of the army, I am sorry that these are not the issues that Victor Keith considered. In order to expand the revolutionary army, these are all subsections. As long as you hand in the name certificate, everyone is your own!

So the Turks in Constantinople were in bad luck. The "voting certificate" was undoubtedly the best head of the Turkish nobleman. His move was quickly imitated by the insurgents!

There are revenge, and there are complaints!

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