Chapter 182 The Russians' attempts

"It's much more bustling than St. Petersburg." Like a chance encounter, Messchmit "accidentally" met the three Pasha brothers in a tavern on the streets of Istanbul, and soon attracted their attention with words.

"But there are quite a few people in the new Tsar ascended the throne." Messchmit talked about the scene of the Tsar's ascending the throne with some enthusiasm and exaggeration: "There may be so many people in half Istanbul. The Tsar distributed free food, and I heard that many people were squeezed to death. The Russians are still poor, and a few breads can make them anxious like this." Scarface took a sip of wine comfortably and continued to brag to the boss: "No wonder they always say they want to develop south. The climate in the south is good. That ghost place in Russia is indeed not a person. I dare say that the worst wine here is hundreds of times better than their damn vodka!"

"That's-" the tavern owner responded with great enthusiasm. This kind of compliment is something that every Turk is willing to hear, including Taraat, who is sitting in the window reading, seems to have heard some topic of interest and raised his ears.

The grand occasion of the Russian Tsar ascending the throne was exaggerated in Messerschmitt's mouth. The luxurious and grandeur of the ceremony made the Turks envious, and Messerschmitt just showed his ridicule and dissatisfaction with the Russians and won the favor of the Turks. In short, this is not an annoying person.

As a businessman, he naturally has the ability to say whatever he wants. When Taraat, who is caring about the future of Turkey, invited him to his seat, he could find that the three Pasha brothers were very interested in politics, so Messchmit's talk turned to the political level.

"Yes, you often meet people like you on the streets of St. Petersburg." Scarface took a sip of wine and thanked Tara'ath, "Thank you for your wine. In St. Petersburg, you can often see the holy fools who are drunk by vodka. They are always talking about saving compatriots and saying that pagans are slaughtering their people. Don't say that these are all homeless people on the street, but when the locals say that sometimes the Tsar will listen to them. Alas, we don't understand these things. What's the best thing about fighting and killing? Doing business with peace of mind is not better than anything else?"

Enville's face became more and more gloomy and muttered a few words. Gemal had already punched the table. He was wearing a traditional Turkish dark purple-red Arab robe and a white turban. His beard was already eye-catching. His roar was even more eye-catching: "Shame, Turkey's shame, will he suffer the fourth shame in a century? Enville, are we just watching it?"

Envil frowned. Turkey was indeed beaten to pieces in this century. The giant Russia in the north beat the Turks three times in 1812, 1829, and 1878. If it weren't for the British, Istanbul they are in now would have been no longer a Turkish place. The Russians were drooling at this city across the strait. Not only that, even the Egyptians defeated Turkey three times in 1832, 1839 and 1840. Greece also defeated Turkey in the war in 1827 and became independent from the Ottoman Turkish Empire. It seems that this is the end of a century. Is it still going to be defeated by the old enemy in the north because of Armenian policy?

This is not a place to speak. The three brothers looked at each other and said goodbye to Messchmitt and left. Looking at their departure, the Swiss businessman drank all the wine in his glass. His next stop was the Istanbul Military Academy located in the south of the city. He just had to look from a distance and inquire about a freshman named Kemal who had just been promoted to the place from the Malatier Preparatory Military Academy. Of course, if you are lucky, it would be best to have a contact.

"We want to contact them, those bastards don't know about this." Envel's mood was also ignited by Gemal's anger. His right hand was clenched into a fist. The face of the worrying country and people under the Arabian turban won him respectful gazes from passers-by on the avenue on the campus. He gestured with his hands, his speech was full of momentum, and he spitted out from time to time in the sun: "The fools of the Ottoman Legion are probably still addicted to robbing the property of those pagans, so he has to notify them in advance."

"Yes! We have to inform the official. Of course, we must first verify that if the Russians can do anything, they will cooperate best." Gemal echoed: "No matter what, this matter is a key to Turkey. If we lose again, I am ashamed to be a Turk!"

Gemal is more easily influenced by Envier, but although Envier is excited, he knows deeply that in order to achieve great things, the Taraat around him who has never spoken and frowns is the key think tank. He is Turkey's head, and Envier is not stingy with such praise.

"To think clearly and do anything, you have to consider where the purpose is." Taraat smiled slightly. After finally waiting for the two brothers to vent their emotions, he let out a sigh of relief. The atmosphere immediately became calm. The two excited lions also calmed down. Looking at Taraat, as if they were listening to the imam's lamb explaining the Quran.

"What is the ultimate goal of our young Turkish Party?" Taraat looked around the two of them, and stopped with a wise smile on his lips for a moment, and said: "To build Turkey into strength and restore the glory of his ancestors, to achieve this goal, it is not possible to rely on the Sudan, we can only rely on ourselves, we must gain power!" Taraat grabbed the air with his right hand, and the expression on his face turned to resolute: "For this purpose, what should we do and what should not be done, you should find time to think about it carefully. Now you are a little excited, not the right time to think about the problem."

Seeing that the two of them were a little stunned, Taraat pointed to the pavilion by the road and said, "Let's go and sit in the windy place. The prophet will give us guidance."

"Armenians should all die. This is Allah's instructions." Sitting in the pavilion, the cold wind stormed, and the three of them couldn't help but wrap their robes. Although the winter in Istanbul was not so cold due to the Mediterranean, the wind always had a chill. A trace of cold light ten times colder than this wind flashed in Taraat's eyes, and his hand knife slashed in the air: "So, the Sultan is also walking the way of Allah's instructions. From this perspective, what you said is correct to help them."

Envel and Gemal nodded, showing excitement of joy and excitement. Taraat continued, "We are all Pasha, noble surnames, and our ancestors are all nobles of the empire. From this point of view, we should help Sultan. Helping him is to help Turkey. Is it?" Taraat smiled and looked at his two partners who had been turned a little dizzy, and shook his head with pity, "No, wrong. The stupid and lazy lamb will only eat the grass around him, and cannot see the dense grassland not far away. After eating it, you will find that you have no support for your life. This is a short-sighted lamb. We cannot do such a thing. Indeed, let our party help Sultan for the time being. For Turkey, there is a

A certain help, but what about the future? The brutal Sudan will sooner or later incur punishment, and Turkey's future cannot be ruined as his burial. I have said many times before that Europe and the whole of Europe will soon fall into a disaster. There may be a war that lasts for more than ten years. The people of Europe will harvest a desert after more than ten years of hard work and name it peace." Taraat's tone is becoming more and more emotional, and Envil is already twitching his nose. (Pasha is a Turkish aristocratic surname, with a concept similar to the German von and Dutch Van. It belongs to the title given by the monarch, and its descendants can be inherited as part of the surname. In Turkish, Pasha means governor.)

Taraat has not finished speaking: "In this war, the brutal Sultan will pay the price for his sins, and we should stop Turkey from burying him. If we help him now, it is equivalent to filling Turkey in his funeral. You must know that although the Armenians are abominable, even though they are most unforgivable, they all believe in a god when they look around Europe." Taraat said a lot of words and began to fall into emotions.

Enville and Gemal looked at each other, their eyes full of admiration. They shook their heads and asked, "So, what should we do?"

"What to do? This is a question." Taraat stood up and looked at the northern straits and said: "The Russians are our eternal enemies. Since they want to help the Armenians, Turkey will definitely not be able to bear the failure again, what should we do?" As he said, he looked at the two of them inspiration.

The two shook their heads. Taraat shook his head and smiled, "The actions of wise men are an excuse to interfere. To make up for it, we can make a little trouble in the Russians to distract them. Give Turkey a breath and make up for our regret that we cannot directly decide on policies."

Indeed, the Young Turkish Party is not the ruling party, and they have no strength to influence the Sudan's policy of massacre of Armenians. Therefore, the so-called "make them lose the excuse to interfere" is simply empty talk. Gemal and Enville are also extraordinary figures. They quickly understood what Taraat meant. Enville said: "For Turkey, we must put pressure on the Sudan. For Türkiye, we must put pressure on the Russians."

Taraat looked at Enville with appreciation and said, "That's right. We also have the support of the masses, and we will not be isolated."

A few days later, the Youth Turkish Party made a resolution, which was very simple - launch a march to demand the cessation of the massacre of the Armenians. Because the unrest in the Armenian region used a large number of troops, and military expenditures were rising steadily. The Turks were already tired of such expenses, so the parade received a strong response from the Turks. The placards such as "Youth Turkish Party is a friend of the Turkish people, including the Armenian people" were held in the front. Of course, the Youth Turkish Party also sent a secret working team to sneak into Central Asia, and some storms would soon cause around Tbilisi.

This is a piece of honey for the suffering nation of Armenia. They saw such a piece of honey in despair, and they were grateful to the young Turkish Party. Of course, they could not know that the piece of honey given to them by such a party is actually a chronic poison, which only makes them survive for more than ten years.

Just as the three Pasha brothers were discussing worriedly over the fate of the Armenians and the fate of Turkey, two young men in St. Petersburg were in a quarrel over a letter from afar.

The letter was written by the Swiss patron. As God's people, the Swiss hoped that they could mobilize the people in St. Petersburg to put pressure on the Tsarist government and save those compatriots in Central Asia who were being massacred by the Turks. A tragedy in his family had already shaken God. The patron said that he could dream of the red bloody eyes of the Lord Jesus Christ every night. There was also a bill of exchange of a large number of rubles in the letter, and the patron also promised to consider the issue of the increase in the sponsorship amount for the next year.

Given the great contributions made by the sponsor to the organization's cause and such a large amount of urgently needed funds, the sponsor's request was irresistible to the organization. However, there was a disagreement between the two temporary leaders, Jugaswiri felt that just perfunctory was enough, because too enthusiastic investment would lead to impurity in the cause and would shake the young people's belief in the purpose of the organization. Trosky, who was both grateful and admired by the sponsor, firmly believed that 100% enthusiasm should be shown to help the Armenian people who were suffering, oppressed and exploited in the distance.

"I said Lev." Joseph frowned and looked at his career partners dissatisfiedly, "I think our focus should be on the liberation of our Russian people. As for that requirement, it is enough to make some symbolic efforts. It is necessary to make the specifications so high. We must explain to the young people the importance of liberating the Armenian people first? You must know that the Russian people are still under oppression! I think your policy is wrong! I don't agree!"

Trosky shook his head and looked at him stubbornly and said, "There is only the problem with your policy. The liberation of the Russian people is a huge process. How much progress has we made in the action of the working class under your auspices? Since the mentor cannot continue to lead us, according to my opinion, work has basically come to a standstill. I suggest a committee to discuss the progress of the workers' movement!"

"Just! What's the problem with the workers' movement?" Joseph looked at Trosky with dissatisfaction: "The French are sponsoring the Tsar. The Tsar has more money to win people's hearts. It is normal for the union's work to be unfavorable. This is also an objective fact and a fact that no one can erase. The committee is not blind or a one-man show. What is the results of the workers' movement? Have I put in 12% of my efforts? Everyone can see it. So, when there are difficulties in the workers' movement, we should make progress in the direction of students. The theoretical study of the student union should be strengthened, and no other thing should be used to dilute them!"

Trosky smashed his fist on the table with anger and stared at Joseph and shouted: "Egoistic! The proletariat is not as selfish as you. If you have to take care of yourself first, how can we convince all mankind?"

"All mankind?" Joseph smiled and said, "All mankind should also start with the great Russian people!"

In the absence of Ulyanov, neither of the two men could convince each other, so they had no choice but to write letters to the tutor to request instructions.

A month later, the messenger brought Ulyanov's instructions. The letter severely criticized the disunity between them and pointed out that the current problem of the organization is the disunity between the leadership. Without a united leadership, the revolutionary work will not develop rapidly. It also issued instructions on the workers' movement and the student movement respectively. To mobilize workers, we must not be eager to achieve success, fully carry out education and indoctrination of reason, and fully point out the degree of exploitation of the working class. The focus of students' work should be on the national pride and the analysis of the international situation, and lead students to find the loss of the Russian nation and the reasons for losing past pride. Only under the guidance of such a policy can we strive for the greatest results for the organization, Russia, and faith.

As for the focus of their dispute, Ulyanov gave the highest instruction. While the cause of national liberation was underway, he also had to remember a very philosophical saying: only by liberating all mankind first can the proletariat themselves be finally liberated. This sentence also has profound guiding significance for the current revolutionary situation. The proletariat, especially the leadership of the proletariat, should have such awareness to guide the revolutionary work. Otherwise, any action will be impure.

Ulyanov finally described his thoughts on the international situation. There have been many things that have worried him recently near the Tbilisi farm where he is located. The activities of the Turks seem to have intensified a little more than before. If Russia and Turkey conflict, it will be of great help to the development of the organization. The letter requires the two to seize the situation, seize opportunities for the accelerated development of the organization, and obtain the greatest benefits. Of course, this is based on a solid leadership.

The bribes received by the Tbilisi exile agency guaranteed Ulyanov's comfortable treatment in the exile. Here, he unexpectedly met the patron from Switzerland, who brought him much-needed books and other items, allowing him to nourish his knowledge in the exiled hut. It also saved him from the harassment of the Turkish sabotage campaign recently launched in Tbilisi.

The Turks' sabotage movement was fierce. Many Turks crossed the border with not being too tightly guarded and began harassment activities in the countryside and small towns near Tbilisi. Some small officials were even beaten. Because this was a mixed area of ​​ethnic groups, Russia's ruling power gradually showed signs of unsuppression, and the governor began to ask for help from the Tsar.

In the palace in St. Petersburg, when the Tsar saw the Turks in Central Asia, and the pitiful situation of the Armenians suffering from massacre, the guards came to report that a large number of people gathered in the square outside the palace, and slogans asked the Tsar to save his compatriots. The pagans were massacring God's people - the Armenians.

As Russians who worship Eastern Orthodox Church, Turkey, which believes in Islam, is a completely pagan country. Although religious wars are no longer popular, the massacre of believers in the name of religion is an act that any Russian cannot forgive, and the Tsar understands these people.

Nicholas II's newlywed wife, Queen Alexandra, was also very angry. Since the embarrassment after the throne ceremony, she felt even more disgusted with this nation. The Russians looked vicious, but in fact they made people feel a little cowardly.

"Nicky, if it was around Germany or Britain, we would punish this sinful act without hesitation. Turkey, a humble country, dares to engage in such sins, and the Lord Jesus Christ will be shamed for your Russian cowardice." The queen has not completely regarded herself as a Russian, which we can hear from you in her sharp tone.

Nicholas II glanced at her angrily and walked up to the palace platform without saying a word. In front of him was the crowd of people on the square under the winter sun, and the square with slogans was filled with angry people. This was the voice of Russia.

Of course, he did not think of who the initiator of such a parade was.

First of all, the note was the note. The Sultan in Topkap Palace in Istanbul received a tough note from the northern powers, demanding that Turkey immediately stop illegal acts in the Armenian region. If such crimes do not stop, the Cossacks will defeat Turkey for the fourth time without hesitation.

At the same time, the report of border officials. In the neighboring Georgia region, the Cossacks' forces were strengthened and the organization of dispersed Turkish immigrants in Georgia began. The Cossacks, which were adjacent to Armenia, had begun assembled operations, and there were signs that a border war would begin soon.

Abdullah.

Sultan Hamid II was also angry. Armenia's affairs were Turkey's internal affairs. If Nicholas II had to interfere, then... Then Türkiye would use this victory to wash away a century of shame!

As for the stupid request of the Youth Turkish Party, Sudan disdained it. If there were no Russian interference, Sudan might have considered it. Now that doing such a thing under the pressure of foreign enemies is to slap himself in the face and say that he is afraid of Russians! Is that still a Turk?!

The glory of the Ottoman summoned Türkiye at the end of the century.

I have been busy moving these two days and have been cleaning up for two days. I am too busy and messy. The packaging has basically been done, and only a laptop is still working. Haha~~
