In London, after the news of the Ankara coup came, Prime Minister Gerston knew that things were going to be bad.

The problems of the Ottoman Empire cannot be solved by a different government. No matter who comes to power, the first problem to face is to solve the refugee crisis and suppress the rebellion.

The Sudanese government did not complete these two tasks, not only because they were corrupt and incompetent, but really couldn't do it. It was hard for a good cook to cook without rice. It would be the same if anyone had to go up.

Prime Minister Gerston asked: "How much does it take to invest at least if the Ottoman Empire wants to initially resume agricultural production?"

Foreign Minister Marquis McLen shook his head: "Prime Minister, I'm afraid no one can answer you in this question. The Russians did a great job of destroying all infrastructure that could be destroyed before withdrawing.

According to the information from the embassy, ​​there was almost no complete building in any area occupied by the Russian army, and they blew up all buildings except the church.

Even the countryside was not spared. Houses, farmland, bridges, and dams were all blown up. They even artificially blocked the rivers, making the downstream farmland a marsh country.

It is said that in order to cause destruction, the Russians consumed tens of thousands of tons of explosives alone, and almost all the Russian-occupied areas were reduced to white land.

The Ottoman government's plan to resume spring plowing failed completely under the destruction of the Russians. According to the current situation, even in 1876, the Ottoman people had restored at most half of the local agricultural production.

The Sudanese government does not have the financial resources to last for so long. In order to help refugees, the Sudanese government misappropriated most of the government's funds, including education funds.

The cause of this coup was caused by the misappropriation of education funds by the Sudanese government. Now this problem is from the Ottoman Al Shabaab.”

Prime Minister Gerston nodded. He was not surprised that Russia and Turkey had a long history of hatred. The Russians took extreme measures to retaliate.

The previous Russian-Turkish war was more bloody than this, and it was not surprising that it massacred tens of thousands of people at one time.

There was no blow-up of farmland or rivers before, not because the Russians were ruthless, but mainly because industrial technology had not developed to this point.

This time the logistics supplies were provided by Austria, and the Russians did not need to save money. Now they are going to evacuate, and the ships are still provided by Austria. The large comprehensive supplies hidden in front can't be hidden at this moment.

Food and other daily necessities can also be said to be seized spoils, and ammunition produced by the Austrian arsenal cannot be explained by any means.

The Russians were also cruel enough to vent all these ammunitions on the Asia Minor Peninsula. In addition to giving God face to not blow up the church, they blew up everything they could.

After thinking about it, Prime Minister Gerston got a headache. The Russians were having fun this time, and where should the Ottoman Empire go?

If the price to save is too high, the Ottoman Empire will definitely be dragged down by refugees and will inevitably be annexed by Austria.

"What should the Ministry of Foreign Affairs do?"

Marquis McLean frowned and replied with a embarrassed look: "This problem is not difficult to solve, at least for the Ottoman Empire. As long as they are cruel enough, they can do it."

Everyone's faces changed drastically. There were quite a few refugees in the Ottoman Empire. Even if hundreds of thousands died this winter, there would be at least two million.

According to Marquis McLean's plan, although the refugee crisis was solved once and for all, the losses caused to the Ottoman Empire were also disastrous.

However, no one objected. If you can climb to this position, everyone is a determined person and is not so easily influenced by personal feelings.

What does the life and death of the Ottomans have to do with them? In this era where millions of people die from hunger every year around the world, everyone's sympathy has long been exhausted.

After wandering for two steps, Prime Minister Gerston said: "This matter has nothing to do with us, everything is the Ottomans' own choice.

What we need to do now is to provide them with funds to combat the rebellion and stabilize the situation in the Ottoman Empire as soon as possible, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must supervise their use.

At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must be prepared. Once the Ottoman government takes action, it will definitely be criticized by thousands of people. It doesn’t matter if international public opinion scolds it, but the Austrians cannot seize the handle and take the opportunity to interfere in the internal affairs of the Ottoman.”

Prime Minister Gerston was still very relieved in this regard. Information showed that Austria was eroding the Arabian Peninsula and could not handle it in just a few years.

With the cautious style of the Vienna government, it will not cause trouble in a short period of time before digesting the Arabian Peninsula.

Ankara, the Ottoman Al-Shabaab, which had just obtained power, fell into confusion before she could enjoy the pleasure brought by the power.

The script is opened incorrectly. After the corrupt government is overthrown under normal circumstances, shouldn’t the Ottoman Empire be revived immediately under their leadership?

However, the reality is just the opposite. After overthrowing Abdulaziz I, they were at a loss.

It was just a coup, not a revolution, so Al Shabaab quickly took over state rights. Of course, it was inevitable that a group of conservatives and religious people would be involved in the government.

Politics always needs to be compromised. If you refuse to share your rights, how can you gain everyone's support?

After obtaining the power, the al-Shabaab became confused. This was not a prosperous and powerful empire, but a corrupt empire full of holes and could disintegrate at any time.

As the leader of the Al Shabaab, Midhart, who had just taken over power, was soon stunned. The issue of power struggle was put on hold first, and the issue of fiscal bankruptcy was imminent.

The overthrewed corrupt government is not rich, and perhaps many of the officials are very fat, but it is still too trivial for a country.

After this, the government's administrative funds were not distributed, the wallet became dry again. The most expensive way to help refugees, but there was no funding to suppress the rebellion.

If you don’t be in charge, you don’t know how expensive it is. Now Midhart has finally realized the hardship of the Sudanese government. The government’s money is not enough, so it’s impossible to do anything.

"What do you mean by Britain and France? Will you be willing to provide us with a loan?"

Borrowing if you don’t have money is the most commonly used method in the Ottoman Empire. In this era, the ones who like to issue loans were Britain and France. More than 80% of the international loans in the world were issued by them.

"The Prime Minister, the French refused our loan. Although the British did not refuse, they also put forward conditions that this loan could only be used to suppress the rebellion.

And they also proposed that we should resolve the refugee crisis as soon as possible and prove the government's ability to govern." Foreign Minister Had Fao said bitterly

The refugee crisis is easy to solve, as long as you have money, it is enough. If you lack food, you can purchase it from two neighbors and get as much as you want.

Unfortunately, what the Ottoman Empire lacks the most is money. Now even if they want to have a loan, it is difficult to find collateral.

This is the blame for the previous government. In order to carry out the war, the Sudanese government tried its best to raise funds. If it weren't for international loans, the previous government would have no money to help refugees.

Meadhart was unlucky, and happened to have spent all his money before he got to power, taking over a mess.

Of course, if the previous government did not run out of ammunition and food, the coup would not be successful, and naturally it would not be his turn to take office.

Midhart slapped the table: "How to solve it? Millions of people reached out to us for dinner, and the food in the government's hands lasted for up to two months.

In such a short time, even if we make up for spring plowing, we will not be able to wait for the harvest. Moreover, our farmland has been severely damaged and most of the land cannot be restored to farming within the year.

This year, our food shortage is as high as more than 3.16 million tons. It takes at least 5 million tons of food to completely resolve the refugee crisis before we can get out of the predicament."

The British data are not accurate. The Ottoman refugees were not just the original three million, but also those who were later expelled by Austria.

This number is increasing every day, and the Vienna government has implemented it very well on the issue of repatriation of the Ottomans.

In addition, the civil war is also the main reason for the increase in refugees. During the suppression of the rebellion, the warring sides created a group of refugees.

Against this background, even though many people died after a winter, the total number of refugees still increased.

If someone counts it, they will be surprised to find that the number of refugees in the Ottoman Empire has approached 30 of the total population, far exceeding the affordability of a normal country.

Hadfao said dejectedly: "The British advised us to expel people who had lost their livelihoods to Persia to alleviate the food crisis at home.

Or establish a quarantine area, divide the refugees and let them fend for themselves.”

Midhart was shocked, and he never thought he could do this. Whether it was deportation or the establishment of refugee isolation areas and allowing himself to fend for it, it meant that millions of people would die.

Compared to direct massacre, there is no essential difference between these two practices. The only difference is probably that there is no need to be charged with the butcher.

This has exceeded Midhart's ability to accept his heart. He has just ascended to the throne of prime minister and has retained a trace of his conscience.

He has always claimed to be the savior of the Ottoman Empire, but it is still very challenging to make him decide to sacrifice millions of people.
