Chapter 150, Moral Kidnapping
After hundreds of years of hard work, the Ottoman Empire's folk image in Europe is equivalent to a demon, with a far superior hatred value ahead of those who have become the last one, and has remained unwavering for hundreds of years.
After the outbreak of the Near East War, the Vienna government promoted a wave of great achievements of their ancestors for them, which directly led to the better reputation of the Ottoman Empire among the people. Every now and then, people even went to the door of the Ottoman Embassy to hold activities.
Without darkness, the history of the Ottoman Empire itself is dark enough. Just find some information to attract a lot of hatred.
With the support of public opinion, Minister Hummel was justified at the London Conference. Governments condemned the Russians' invasion of Poland, but no one condemned Austria's invasion of the Ottoman Empire.
This is the importance of propaganda. In this era, the Black Ottoman Empire was politically correct, and just a little guidance was enough.
During the Russian-Turkish War in the original time and space, the Tsarist government was still slandered. In addition to the Tsarist government not doing a good job in propaganda, they also had their own image, which was not much better than the Ottoman Empire.
Of course, the recovery of Jerusalem is also a political plus. After the outbreak of the Near East War, the Austrian army immediately launched the Holy Land Recovery War, which blocked many people's mouths.
Franz originally had the title of King of Jerusalem, which was recognized by European society. It is completely legal to take back his own territory and does not require any moral pressure. It is not even considered an invasion.
However, it is still the interests that determine the direction of politics. Austria has enough reasons to fight, so it is no problem to beat the Ottoman Empire.
But it would be different to destroy the Ottoman Empire. European society is very afraid of destroying the country. Especially for many small European countries, this kind of destruction behavior makes them feel insecure.
If no one leads, no matter how dissatisfied these countries are, they can only choose to hold on.
The Near East War was caused by Austrian and Russians fighting Ottomans, and they had no capital to join forces. Now that the British are willing to stand up, everyone is naturally happy to support them.
Hummel noticed this change at the beginning of the mediation meeting. Although the words of representatives from various countries were very implicit, he still clearly felt the meaning of leaning towards the Ottoman Empire.
It roughly means persuading: for world peace, it is better to use negotiation to resolve conflicts and end the Near East War as soon as possible...
It doesn’t matter if one person is alone, but it’s different if one group says it. If you are not strong enough in your heart, you will easily be led by mistake.
Hummel waved his hand: "Everyone, the responsibility for war is not with us. This involves historical issues. I believe everyone knows what's going on. I don't need to popularize it here.
Now we are just driving away the invaders and taking back our hometown, shouldn't we?"
This is a bad debt, and history is simply unresolved. Hundreds of years have passed, and it is impossible to verify it.
Besides, over the years, everyone has added a lot of information to black Ottoman.
It’s nothing in normal times. If this topic continues now, the Austrians will definitely regard these artistically processed materials as reasons for attacking the Ottoman.
What's even more troublesome is that many of these materials have been memorized by our ancestors, which have been widely recognized by European society. For political correctness, they cannot jump out and overthrow it.
Seeing the atmosphere becoming awkward, British Foreign Secretary Marquis McLean took over the topic: "Mr. Minister, history has passed.
What should happen and what should not happen has already happened. It is meaningless to pursue it. Now we should focus on the future.
This Near East war has killed 800,000 people, lost more than three million people, and turned dozens of cities into ruins, with countless economic losses.
No matter what the Ottoman Empire did back then, this punishment was enough. If it continued, it would only lead to more families and families being destroyed.
Children have no father, wives have no husband, and elderly people have no son. These tragedies on earth are happening every day.
Maybe you don’t know that the Ottoman Empire is now hungry, and tens of thousands of people fall down every day, and even some places have even appeared in Yizi and eat.
For the sake of God, for these innocent people, end this war as soon as possible!"
When he said this, Marquis McLean, who was completely immersed in the role, seemed not to be a British Foreign Secretary, but a loving priest.
Everyone present understood that the British were trying to play moral kidnapping. It was in line with John Niu's style. The current international situation could not be interfered with by force. The British wanted to protect the Ottoman Empire, so naturally they could only find another way.
Hummel was disgusted, and anyone could talk about "mercy", but the British were not qualified to talk about it.
As the world's number one colonial empire, it ruled 400 million people. This number is not the only number of people who are exploited and exploited every year.
Even though he was unhappy, Hummel still controlled his emotions: "Mr. Minister, you should say this to the Ottomans.
A large number of people are homeless and frost-hungry, which is caused by the incompetence of the Sudanese government. Do you think they are pitiful, so what about you looking at these photos?
This records an Armenian village, which was slaughtered by these poor people, and soldiers from the Sudanese government also participated.
There are also these photos that record that they beat the priest to death and destroyed the church…”
These photos were obtained by intelligence organizations for a lot of money. Don’t look at the Near East War that had broken out, and there were still many French people who stayed in the Ottoman Empire.
No matter how chaotic it is, it will not affect them, such as the "big figures". With the most strict protection of the Sudanese government, as long as they are not killed by bombs in the sky, they will be safe.
This is a special product of the times. Even the gangsters on the streets of London are still "big figures" that they cannot afford to be criticized by the Ottoman Empire.
There must be brave men under heavy rewards. Intelligence organizations are willing to spend money, so naturally someone can provide photos. Anyway, they are a privileged class in the Ottoman Empire, and the Sudanese government dare not touch them even if they are caught.
If there are professionals present, you will find that many of the photos here are not just taken, but old photos that have been stored for several years.
But this is not important. The photos prove that these atrocities have actually happened, that is enough.
Marquis McLean had a headache. He could already imagine what kind of sensation the photos would appear in London newspapers tomorrow.
"My Lord, I think the Ottoman Empire will give you an explanation for the matter on this photo, and these perpetrators will be punished by God.
The reason for these tragedies is actually the destruction of social order and the government loses control of the country.
I suggest that after the war is over, we will form a joint delegation to settle in the Ottoman Empire to specifically arrest the thugs above."
In order to preserve the Ottoman Empire, Marquis McLen also fought hard. This made the Ottoman Foreign Minister Albiachi, who was not far away, very embarrassed. He decided before he asked me about it?
After seeing the content in the photo, all Albiaz's dissatisfaction disappeared. These things were nothing during normal times, but now they were on the table, it was completely different.
"Please rest assured that the thugs above will be held accountable. The Ottoman Empire is a country with religious freedom, and there is absolutely no religious persecution. We will not let these thugs get away with it."
After pausing, Albiachi led back the topic of the wrong way: "I feel very ashamed that this kind of tragedy happened.
Because of the war, the government devoted all its energy to the battlefield and ignored local management, which led to a tragedy.
In order to make up for the regret and prevent similar things from happening, I hope to end this war as soon as possible. For world peace, the Ottoman Empire is willing to contribute."
In his heart, Albiaz had already scolded him. He could not imagine that there was a fool who could be so hopelessly stupid.
Today's cameras are big shots, and they are very active in the arrangement of shooting, so it's hard not to be discovered. This means that when taking pictures, these parties did not stop them.
The ignorant is fearless, and the camera is still a new thing. More than 80% of the Ottomans have never seen this thing, and they don’t know the function of the camera. This is the reason why all this happens.
After thinking about it, Albiazi decided to go back and advise the Sultan to strengthen the control of cameras. There were too many things in the Ottoman Empire that it would not be possible to be careful.
