My Italian: Chapter 235 Ottoman Summation
"My Italian New ( Find the latest chapter!
The surrender of the Saronic defenders was a milestone for the war.
But in addition, what is even more worrying is that the Italian army has already invaded the Macedonia region. Now the territory of the Ottoman Empire in Europe, with the exception of East Thrace, where the capital Istanbul belongs, has existed for as long as days.
For such a dilemma, the Ottoman executives are of course anxious, but it is useless to be anxious, and they need to come up with a solution. Of course, it's not that Ottoman's high-ranking officials don't know how to do it, but no one has mentioned this method, and no one dared to mention it.
Since the only way can't be said or mentioned, then they just seem to be ostriches in danger, just bury their heads in the sand and pretend to be ignorant.
But the Ottomans are not in a hurry, but there are others who are in a hurry. Ambassadors from Britain, France, Russia, Austria and other countries met with senior Ottoman officials one after another, expressing their wish that the Ottoman Empire could review the time to end the war.
That's right, what's more anxious than the Ottoman Empire is these European powers who have not participated in the war.
It is not difficult to guess the plans of their countries. Among them, Britain and France are to avoid serious losses to the Ottomans, which will lead to chaos in the Near East and give other countries a chance to fish in troubled waters.
As for Austria and Russia, they also do not want the Ottomans to lose too much in this war, allowing the Balkan countries to take the opportunity to grow and get rid of their influence and control.
Even though Austria-Hungary has just obtained the legal rule of Bosnia and Herzegovina from the Ottomans, Russia and the Ottomans are still feuding. This will not delay them at this time, and hope that the Ottoman Empire will not bleed to death.
Therefore, the situation in Macedonia was bad, and with the help of other countries, the Ottoman Empire finally had to face up to the problem of defeat.
In the new palace in Istanbul, a topic of peace talks is being held here.
The Ottoman Sultan Hamid II, who was in the top position, looked at the high-ranking officials who had gathered together, and it was rare that he spoke first. "Yesterday, the ambassadors of Britain, France, Germany, Austria and other countries rarely came to see me together. They plan to mediate the war between our country and Italy and other countries. I don't know, ministers, what do you think of this matter?"
Although the sultan said it very euphemistically, how could anyone who was present not understand his intentions.
It's just that this is not easy to answer, no matter how you answer it, it will leave troubles later, so the ministers in the hall don't know how to speak for a while.
But just when no one spoke at this time, a minister suddenly came out. Everyone saw that this was the Minister of War, Nuri Pasha, who was rarely the first to speak.
Without letting his colleagues sigh, what this Nuri Pasha said next was even more surprising.
I saw Nuri Pasha slightly bent over and said. "Your Majesty, this war is currently very unfavorable to our country. As the direct commander of this war, our Ministry of War has a great responsibility, and I, the Minister of the Army, bear the main responsibility. For this reason, I implore Your Majesty to remove him. My position is to the hearts of the townspeople."
Nuri Pasha's sudden words surprised everyone. They did not expect that the Minister of War was so heroic and directly willing to take the main responsibility for the defeat.
But they soon saw why.
Facing the War Minister's move to take responsibility for himself, the Sultan Hamid II looked at him and said. "You are indeed responsible for the failure of this war. Since you realize your mistake, then you should step down as the Minister of War and replace it with your deputy. Come and be my military advisor."
Well, this is not a responsibility, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the sultan protecting the Ottoman marshal. In order to avoid possible liquidation in the future, take it out first.
I really don't know what to say, the treatment of my confidants is indeed unusual. What is the difference between resigning and not resigning, Nuri Pasha is still the number one figure in the army. Of course, this also has a lot to do with his ability to win Sudan's trust. After all, Sudan needs credible and capable people to sit in the army.
However, although other people can guess part of it, they still make others drool with envy. In particular, the Grand Vizier Kamil Pasha, as well as the Foreign Minister Halim Pasha and others are the most envious, because they know that they must be the ones to blame next. This defeat needs someone who can bear it. In addition, the negotiation of the defeat also needs someone to take the lead. There is no more suitable candidate than the two.
Sure enough, after the Minister of War was taken out, the Sultan's face immediately turned ugly. "Why did you lose this war, Grand Vizier, tell me the reason."
With the sultan directly pointing out Kamil Pasha, many people were relieved, at least they didn't have to worry about their lives. After all, the main person in charge has been designated, and they are only jointly and severally liable at most, which is the great luck of the misfortune.
As for Kamil Pasha, who was named, of course he knew why the sultan called for his name. Although he is indeed responsible for this war, the main responsibility is really not on him, but this is no longer a question of whether he wants to or not. Thinking of the survival of the family, he can only take over the words of the Sultan.
"Your Majesty, I have a great responsibility for defeating the government this time, especially the expectation that I have failed your Majesty. For this reason, I implore Your Majesty to take back my position as Grand Vizier, and I am willing to bear all the consequences."
As Camille Pasha said that he was willing to take responsibility, Hamid II's face became slightly better. "Since you are willing to take responsibility for this defeat, then I allow you to resign as Grand Vizier, but considering that I don't have a suitable candidate yet, you will continue to serve for the time being until I have a candidate for it."
Although Hamid II said the words of retention, but this made Camille Pasha's complexion even more bitter. Anything that can't find a candidate is an excuse. Obviously, this is the Sudan's desire to not bother the two masters and let him take the blame for the negotiation on his back. As long as the peace talks are reached, there will be no good outcome for him who has lost his power and humiliated the country.
And it's still a ghost without the right to die. Life is nothing more than this bleak.
But can he object to the Sultan's words? Since it cannot be opposed, it can only be accepted.
"As your majesty, I will stick to my duties during the temporary period."
After getting Kamil Pasha, the Ottoman sultan's eyes patrolled the crowd again, which made the other ministers immediately frightened and disturbed, and they were afraid of being named at this time.
But soon most people were relieved immediately.
"Halim Pasha, the next negotiation with various countries is up to you, the foreign minister."
Harim Pasha, who was named, was also depressed, and he also couldn't refuse the task assigned by the Sultan.
Now that the scapegoat has been decided, the atmosphere in the next meeting will be much better. Other ministers, this is listening to the Sultan's instructions very seriously. Only Kamil Pasha and Halim Pasha were both sad.
Others also kept away from the two consciously or unintentionally, as if they had an infectious disease.
Then the news of Ottoman's request for a truce and peace talks ~www.mtlnovel.com~ was sent out like this.
Facing Ottoman's request for peace talks, Carlo, the king of Italy, was naturally very welcome. Although the current situation is very good, but the interference of other countries, Carlo intends to stop. After all, Italy has few interests in the Balkans, so there is no need to trap itself in it.
And with Italy agreeing to the peace talks, Bulgaria and Montenegro, both allies, naturally had to stop. After all, they still need the support of Italy in order to win the fat war dividend.
As for Greece and Serbia, since Italy and other countries have agreed to a truce, it is naturally impossible for them not to agree. After all, the supporters behind them have already expressed their attitudes. And it is impossible to win the Ottoman Empire with the strength of their two countries alone.
Then, the war in the Balkans that resounded in the sky stopped like this, and the next step is to look at the efforts of diplomats. In this regard, Italy has enough confidence.
