In West Asia, under the massacre of the "Persian Blade", the large refugee troops quickly fled in all directions, and the Ottoman government could no longer influence the whereabouts of the refugees.

Except for the dead, only a small number of the remaining refugees flew to the Persian hinterland, and more of them returned to the Ottoman Empire.

People are afraid of death. Faced with the Persians holding up the butcher's knife, refugees are already scared.

It is easy to go out and go home, and it is difficult to send refugees out after finally sending them out. How could the Ottoman government take on this trouble again?

After successfully expelling the refugees, Major General Shindirk's military rank has become a lieutenant general. If the troubles in front of him can be solved, he may be promoted to another level.

At the cost, Shindirk has become notorious and affectionately called the "most sinister butcher" by the international media.

The media must thank him because his approach has made everyone not short of hot news this year. After the Persian Massacre, newspaper sales in Europe rose by 30%.

In the command center, a middle-aged officer reported worriedly: "General, there are more and more refugees outside, and we are almost unable to stop it."

Lieutenant General Shindirk ignored it and was already playing with a pair of walnuts in his hand. After a while, he asked lightly: "Do you still remember how our ancestors established the Ottoman Empire?"

Everyone was stunned. How the Ottoman Empire was established was clearly recorded in history books. Although it was beautified a lot, the general situation was recorded.

However, this question seems to have nothing to do with what is happening in front of you. After a moment of pause, Shen Dirk was not angry when he saw no one answered it.

The quality of the Ottoman military officers these days was terrible. There were not many truly capable officers. Because of the Near East War, many people took the blame and were held accountable - retired, and most of the remaining ones were related households.

It is rare for officers like Shindirk who have outstanding backgrounds and capable backgrounds.

The bad things in the officialdom are actually more serious in the army. If you don’t do it well, do more and make more mistakes, the same applies here.

As long as you have to do things seriously, you must be mentally prepared to be criticized. In this harsh environment, most people first think about self-protection.

Shindirk became infamous so quickly, and it was actually the work of his competitors. Otherwise, how could the outside world know that he was the one who expelled refugees?

Faced with the cruel reality, Shindirk did not expect his subordinates to be smart and capable. As long as he could complete the tasks he assigned as required, that would be enough.

"You are familiar with the word "the best of the weak, are you?"

"I believe you have heard of how our ancestors survived the natural disaster back then.

In the final analysis, there is only one thing - reducing dynasties. Whether it is launching a war to the outside world or cleaning it internally, it is essentially to reduce dynasties. If there is less food, it will be enough to eat.

There are so many refugees outside now, and we can’t save them even if we want to help them. Since that’s the case, we will adopt the oldest method - the prey of the strong."

Everyone's expressions changed drastically, as if they had experienced enlightenment, suddenly woke up and started flattering one after another.

Shen Dirk was so angry that he slapped the table. When he had spoken at this point, no one took the initiative. Obviously, everyone is smart and unwilling to take responsibility and wants to protect themselves.

"Enough! Send the order to tell the refugees that we have insufficient food. According to the ancient traditions of our ancestors, only the strong can survive.

Only by getting five heads can you obtain the qualification to survive. You can submit it in batches and send someone to register and book it. You can allow them to use any means outside the military camp."

Shintilk was too lazy to pay attention to everyone, afraid that taking responsibility would make what kind of climate would it be? You should know that today is different from the past, and the Ottoman Al-Shabaab is now in power.

Idealism is the most terrifying thing. In order to achieve their goals, they can sacrifice everything. They can even ignore their own wealth and life, let alone a bunch of refugees?

Notoriousness may be a disaster in other countries, but it is nothing in the Ottoman Empire. In the eyes of rulers, such infamous generals are more reliable.

There are so many refugees outside, and the Ottoman government does not have enough food relief. For domestic stability, they must be kept out of the country.

In this context, letting refugees kill each other is undoubtedly the best choice. Don’t look at Shen Dirk saying that you can get the qualification to survive by getting five heads. The survival rate seems to be one in six.

In fact, once refugees start to kill each other, it will be difficult to stop. If they survive in the end, not to mention one-sixth, they may not even have one-tenth or one-twentieth.

These people can really survive? Don’t dream. Those who survived with five heads were hating people. If these guys who were resentful to the Ottoman Empire survived, no one would be able to sleep.

Shindirk has been prepared to breach the contract, which is not considered a breach. Killing is anti-French, and it is no exception in the Ottoman Empire.

Such a person who kills several people in a row is a serious crime anywhere, and it is not an exaggeration to directly execute him.

It may be cruel, but in Shindirk's view, he is cleaning up hidden dangers for the empire. If he doesn't do this and let these refugees pour into the Ottoman Empire, the entire country will be ruined.

In the face of cruel reality, there is no so-called good and evil right or wrong. In this cruel era, everyone is working hard to survive.

With kindness and ruthlessness, you can't survive in this era of the strong prey on the weak.

...

After a long period of escape from famine, the refugees' nerves have actually reached the verge of collapse, and many people have even collapsed.

The arrival of Shindirk's order undoubtedly ignited the final madness. I don't know who took the lead, but the refugee camp was completely in chaos.

Except for a few people who still have rationality, who take the opportunity to escape to the margins, most of them attack the people around them frantically, as if they want to take the other party's head in exchange for their own chances.

This is the case with hell on earth.

...

At the Vienna Palace, looking at the information in his hand, Franz was also stunned by the Ottoman operations. He did not scold the Ottoman government with external newspapers, but instead made rational analysis and summary of the gains and losses.

It has to be admitted that the Ottoman Empire has been able to be glorious for so many years, but it still has a unique way of survival.

At least in terms of ruthlessness, European countries are beyond their reach. They are not only cruel to their enemies, but also to their own people.

Even if my brother invaded the Russian army during the Near East War, he was afraid of international public opinion and did not dare to play like this, but the Ottoman government dared.

Don't look at Shindirk being scolded badly. In Franz's view, he was pushed to take the blame. The Ottoman government far away in Ankara is truly qualified to make a decision.

Prime Minister Felix: "We still underestimate the Ottoman Empire. With this ruthlessness, we should not be underestimated.

I propose to step up the suppression of the Ottoman Empire, take this opportunity to send troops to intervene, support the independence of the Armenians, and leave no chance of rising to the Ottoman Empire."

I was stunned and afraid of being arrogant, and I was afraid of being desperate.

This sentence also applies to countries. When encountering a country that is desperate, everyone will feel a headache. The current Ottoman Empire has a bit of desperate.

The reputation of the Ottoman Empire established over hundreds of years has not been so easy to disperse. The cruelty that has flowed out now has made Prime Minister Felix recall the past and couldn't help but become more vigilant.

Franz shook his head: "The ruthlessness of the Ottoman Empire is indeed not to be underestimated, but after this battle, it is impossible for them to revive it.

Now it is the industrial age, and population is the most precious wealth. How many people in the Ottoman Empire still have, and how many young and strong labor force are there?

If the Ottoman Empire wants to develop, it must take decades of effort. This is just a theoretical figure, and it does not consider domestic ethnic and religious issues at all.

Supporting Armenian independence now seems to weaken the Ottoman Empire, but in fact it has helped the Sudanese government a lot. It has reduced a piece of land and alleviated national conflicts in the country.

Rather than this, it is better to secretly support the Armenian independence movement and let them consume the strength of the Ottoman Empire within.

By the way, we will strengthen our confidence between Britain and France and let them devote their energy to part of their energy into the giant pit of the Ottoman Empire, so as not to stare at us every day.”

It’s not that Franz looked down on the Ottoman Empire, but that the actual data told him that the Ottoman Empire had lost the possibility of its rise.

Whether the Ottoman Empire still has a population of 10 million is an unknown number, which also includes a large number of ethnic minorities. After the civil war is over, the population will be further reduced.

In order to industrialize, the Ottoman Empire not only had to solve the problem of insufficient labor, but also had to consider domestic religious issues.

When they solve these problems, time has passed. Before these fundamental problems are solved, even with the support of Britain and France, they can only build an army that looks quite combative on the surface.

There are too many cases in the original time and space that prove that if a country wants to become stronger, it must be strong in all aspects. Just training a new army will actually not have much effect.
