My Italian: Chapter 255 armistice

The news that the Ottoman army was besieged by coalition forces at Fort Adria was spread around the world three days later. As the current affairs that countries are most concerned about at present, the news of the war between Italy and the Ottomans will always be hidden from the news for the first time.

So after the siege of Fort Adriatic, the news spread immediately. In the face of the encirclement of the main force, the Ottomans certainly did not want to see it. Before that, their army also had the idea of ​​breaking through. The troops urgently dispatched from the besieged Adriatic Fort and Istanbul launched a counter-offensive against Luleburggat, trying to break the besieged fate, but in the end the city was still firmly in the hands of the Italians, which also Declare the failure of the Ottomans to clear the siege.

Of course, because the troops are not fully in place, the Ottomans who are currently surrounded can still use the gap to withdraw a small part of the troops. But don't even think about it, it's impossible to withdraw.

Among them, many senior Ottoman officers who were concerned about the safety of Istanbul took advantage of this time to keep their lives for the future. However, in this one, as the commander Riza did not evacuate.

Instead, he stayed in the besieged Adrianople, making frequent appearances to cheer up the troops and maintain the plunging morale of the army because many officers secretly left. Frequent meetings with officers and soldiers made Riza's influence in the army more and more important, but despite this, they were destined to be surrounded in the last fortress in Istanbul.

During this period, Riza had countless opportunities to leave, but he refused.

He knew very well that if he left, the two hundred thousand Ottoman troops in Adrianople would be over. The capital, Istanbul, could not stop the offensive of the Italian and Bulgarian coalition forces, and he could not go for the sake of Ottoman.

In some ways, Riza, the leader of al-Shabaab, is a worthy patriot.

However, although Riza's patriotic enthusiasm has not diminished, it still cannot change the current situation of the war. After the news of the siege of Adrianople came out, the world in Istanbul was in chaos, and various gossip and rumors about the coalition forces were flying all over the sky. Some say that the army in Adrianople has surrendered, some say it has withdrawn, others say the enemy is approaching Istanbul.

These rumors made people panic in Istanbul, and many people fled to Asia Minor by boat with their families. In the face of such a scene, the army stationed in Istanbul did not stop them at all. They were different from the citizens. They knew more accurate news and knew that the coalition forces needed to give priority to solving the army of Adrianople, so it is still safe in Istanbul.

However, although it is still safe now, when the enemy solves Adrianople, Istanbul will not have enough strength to resist the opponent. Because the troops that the Ottomans could mobilize have been wiped out by the enemy, at present, in addition to the more than 40,000 troops in Istanbul, there are only more than 80,000 people facing the Italian landing troops near Izmir.

At present, the Ottoman Empire, which has no soldiers available, has not many choices to make when the enemy is about to invade the city.

At this time, some changes occurred in the Ottoman senior management, and it was normal.

On the evening of the second day after the news of the siege of Adrianople came back, a mutiny took place in Istanbul. The Ottoman army, still loyal to the Sudan, led by the former Minister of the Army Osman Nuri Pasha, will stay in Istanbul. The al-Shabaab forces were wiped out, and a large group of al-Shabaab members, including Ahmed Lisa, were imprisoned.

Although there was no fierce battle that night, it still made people in Istanbul panic. The curfew that night made the people of the Ottoman capital feel an unusual atmosphere.

In the early morning of the next day, after the dust had settled, the Ottoman Sultan Hamid II regained power again, and the Ottoman political forces immediately welcomed the Sultan, as if the al-Shabaab forces had never appeared before. Forget it.

The first thing that Sultan Hamid II did after he regained power was to remove the Grand Vizier Javad Pasha, who was introduced by the Al-Shabaab. in the sequence of dismissal.

Instead, officials headed by Said Pasha, who is known for his steadfastness, took over the positions that had just been vacated and continued to ensure the production and operation of the Ottoman Center. Of course, the most critical position of the Minister of War at present, except for Osman Nuri Pasha, is not to be considered.

The first thing that the newly appointed Ottoman executives need to do is to end the state of war with the coalition forces.

"Your Majesty, this is the armistice agreement we drafted. Please also take a look at it."

In the palace, the newly-appointed Grand Vizier Said Pasha presented the urgently negotiated conditions to Sultan Hamid II. When the enemy is about to approach the city, a truce is made at this time, and its conditions can be imagined.

In this agreement, Osman fully agreed with the conditions negotiated before. Of course, it is still a bit difficult to obtain the recognition of the coalition forces based on this alone. After all, it took a while longer, and the result was even more unfavorable to the Ottoman side, so in addition to agreeing with the results of the previous negotiation, Ottoman also added a clause to cease fire on the spot based on the current war situation and wait for the two sides to negotiate the results of the peace talks. Coordinate again.

Obviously, this is for Adrianople and Istanbul. In order to prevent the two places from falling into the hands of the coalition forces, the conditions were written in advance.

Hamid II asked after reading the urgently drafted armistice agreement. "How about the attitude of other countries?"

Saeed Pasha knew what the Sultan was asking, and he replied immediately. "At present, the ambassadors of Britain, France, Germany, Austria, Russia and other countries have expressed their desire to end the war to our country. For this reason, I think that my country's armistice agreement ~www.mtlnovel.com~ is also what countries want to see."

There is nothing wrong with Said Pasha's words. The powers of European countries can't wait for this war to end immediately. The reason is very simple. The Ottomans performed too badly in this war.

Everyone can see that this war has pulled out the Ottoman underpants. At present, the main task of the Ottomans is to end the war as soon as possible. The next thing is to sum up the lessons or lick the wounds to restore their strength.

In their opinion, what happened before the al-Shabaab outbreak was just a concentrated expression of the patriotic enthusiasm of the Ottoman army and the people, but the timing of its outbreak was too poor, and it was simply rubbing salt on the wounds of its country.

Now that the Ottomans can get back on track is nothing to be desired. As for the mentality of the European powers, the Ottoman executives can still speculate one or two. After all, its location is too good, and the Black Sea Strait is too important.

So in the expectation of the Ottoman high-level, this armistice agreement was quickly passed to the hands of Italy, Bao, and Hei. In the face of the truce proposed by Ottoman, the Three Kingdoms were naturally happy to see it. It's wrong, except for Bulgaria, other warring countries are willing to see it.

Although Bulgaria is jealous of Istanbul, which is close at hand, they also know that this is not something they can control at present, so after other countries express their opinions, Bulgaria can only agree.

Although all countries have agreed to a truce, as the pillar of the war, Italy has put forward a special request, that is, the location of this negotiation must be selected in Rome.

In the face of Italy's request, the Ottomans complied in order to avoid long nights. After all, they have no confidence to oppose Italy's request.

So negotiators from all sides came to Rome again to prepare for the next negotiation.
