The sun never sets in America

Chapter 430 Ottoman Storm: Diaper Sultan

(The Times: The French army captured Dalagossa, and 400,000 Spanish troops retreated to the city near Madrid, intending to severely defeat the French there!!)
(London Daily News: The Spanish defeat has become a foregone conclusion, but for Europe, this is an almost flat defeat. The French must be very proud at this moment. As bandits, they did not even have anyone to stop them. It must be said, This is a shame for all of Europe.)
(Atlantic Weekly: Stupid Russell still doesn’t understand that it is because of his connivance that France is what it is today. If a new Napoleonic Empire is born again, we will not win this time because there are too many similar people within us. Russell is a guy with rickets!!)

"Hmph, a bunch of clowns!!"

"Clown without a mask!!"

In the office at No. 10 Downing Street, Russell, who was wearing a cashmere cardigan, leaned on the ostrich leather seat and spread out the newspaper in his hand. After seeing one message after another scolding him, he did not look for excuses like he did a few days ago. , but directly scolded them. After all, to those people, are the so-called reasons really that important? ?

"Humph, these cockroaches behind the scenes don't understand what strategy is at all. Their simple brains probably think that as long as the British Empire joins the war, the French will take the initiative to raise their hands and surrender as if they are expecting God??"

"idiot!!"

Russell leaned back in his chair, read the last piece of news that scolded him and the cabinet, and then crumpled the newspapers into balls one by one and threw them into the trash can.

"Bang bang!!"

"Come in……"

There was a hint of "shrewdness" in Russell's eyes. Apparently, he remembered something.

"Do the Ottomans know??"

"I even suspect that this is a test. As long as the Russians accept this surrender and are treated well after the war, it is not ruled out that all the Ottomans will surrender. And it is very likely that this is what the Sultan meant..."

"According to our intelligence, the Sultan is moving several of his children to America and is currently settling in Xijing. Obviously, the Ottomans themselves have lost the confidence to continue fighting!!"

"What, what did you say!!"

At that time, even for the so-called "seeking the truth", the British will have to end.

"How could this happen? How could we surrender at this time? We have just sent a batch of new weapons to the Ottomans. Their machine guns are even more than our own army!!"

As a man with the most intelligence in the UK, it can be said that his analysis of things far exceeds that of most people, including his immediate boss, Prime Minister Russell.

"No, we have no way yet, there are other ways!!"

This incident was also evaluated by The Times as the "Sultan of Crotchless Pants". It even became so popular last month that it eclipsed the wars in Europe.

“Does that junkie Sultan know??”

The Russians even nicknamed the Ottoman soldiers "diaper boys" to humiliate them.

Russell clicked and lit a cigar from Cuba. This cigar is from the Chief series that he often smokes. It has a richer taste than the ordinary version.

"Or sue them??"

"Assuming we don't intervene, the Russians will gain access to the Mediterranean, even West Asia, the Indian Ocean, and even Africa. We will have to face competition from a huge polar bear from the north of the Eurasian continent!!"

Amousai, who was on the opposite side, continued to speak: "Judging from the current situation, if we do not intervene, the Ottomans will not be able to hold on for too long..."

"Prime Minister, this is the inside information we just got from Asia Minor. An Ottoman military-level force is planning to surrender to the Russians..."

"But at this time, if we don't join the war, what else can we do to stop the Russians? Is it possible that we have to rely on so-called international rules?"

The Russians gained Asia Minor. In Amousai's words:
"The end of Europe is coming and the beginning of complete disorder in the British Empire!!"

Russell murmured to himself, sweat began to form on his forehead. If it was only a regiment or even a division that surrendered, he could explain that this was normal on the battlefield, but if it was an army of tens of thousands, then this meant, This is not an accidental incident, it is the norm. What is even more frightening is that a surrender may be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

"If I remember correctly, the Prussians are less than a week away from starting war!!"

"You mean, mercenaries??"

And once Osman is finished, everyone knows what it means.

Amousai said it very sincerely.

The war between Prussia and Prussia mentioned by Russell was something that they had already checked with Prussia before the war. After all, they had received so much aid from the British Empire. If they did not fight, it would mean betrayal, and the consequences of betraying Britain might be worse than the so-called "war." Even scarier.

At this time, in Russell's brain, the two villains "Intervention" and "Waiting" were already killing each other like crazy, and the two sides were fighting fiercely.

If Russell could still be calm when he heard about the Ottomans, then when he learned that an Ottoman army was about to surrender, he couldn't sit still at all.

The addicted Sultan in Russell's mouth is the current Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. Due to the war, this man could not bear the pressure of the war and smoked a lot of opium. He even fell ill once when he was meeting with the British minister. He did not have time to take it and urinated on the spot. incontinence.

Russell's hands kept shaking, and the cigarette ashes fell bit by bit on the mahogany desk.

Amousai's eyes were full of concern for the future of the British Empire.

"Huh", the smoke ring blew out and filled the eyes. Russell leaned on the ostrich leather armchair. He lost his previous rigor and showed a rare "relaxation" in front of others.

When Intelligence Minister Amousai said this, you could clearly see Russell's expression changing back and forth several times. Even the hand holding the pen involuntarily tapped the table several times. This was his habit after being nervous.

"Mr. Prime Minister, we can no longer hesitate. If we don't intervene, the Russians will really win, and we will lose the possibility of finally checking and balancing Europe..."

Amousai's face showed a mockery of the current international rules. Obviously, this kind of false and empty thing has no use in the current barbaric international situation, but is a huge burden.

"But we can't delay it any longer. Maybe tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or even the next second, the Ottomans will surrender!!"

"Amousai, do you still remember how the French participated in the last war?"

"Judging from the current situation, the Ottomans should actually know it internally, but they are currently pretending to be crazy and not admitting it."

Russell heard the sound outside, frowned and shouted, then straightened forward and sat upright, completely different from the frivolous appearance just now.

"Once they surrender, we will have no reason to interfere!!"

"Amousai, is it really a good thing for us to start a war at this time??"

On the opposite side, Russell's hand holding the cigar in his mouth kept shaking, and he said:
"Those French guys are just waiting for us to lose our composure and start a war. If we start a war now, and it's going to West Asia, God only knows what those damn French guys will do. Maybe tomorrow they plan to declare war on the entire Europe. !!”

Amousai asked in surprise.

"Yes, only mercenaries can use their greatest strength to attack those crazy Russians without officially participating in the war and without completely breaking up with each other!!"

Russell's face showed unprecedented affirmation. Obviously, within the scope of his options, participating in the war in the traditional European way and as a mercenary was the best solution.

It is also the best way to implement the European strategy that has been set up so far, without completely collapsing the war that was forced onto the stage.

"But first we have to get something, a right that Han used in the last war!!"

"What rights??"

"Command, command of the Ottoman army!!"

Obviously, Russell planned to refer to the practice of the Han army in the last Crimean War and turn the entire Ottoman army into a subsidiary army of the British.

"Can the Ottomans agree, after all they already want to surrender??"

Amousai is skeptical about whether Osman agrees to hand over his rights. After all, the current purpose of these guys is very clear, and they no longer intend to fight.

"If they don't want to continue fighting, then we will let them continue fighting!!"

"The worst thing is to change to a Sudan!!"

The cigar in Russell's mouth is already one-third full. Because it is a short cigar, it will be smoked very quickly. Amousai looked at Russell opposite and said nothing. He just asked:
“Who to choose??”

"Our Sultan is already like that, no matter who he chooses, I don't even mind letting a minister control this huge empire!!"

Russell's words revealed a huge message, that is, the British had all the intelligence of the Ottomans, even the royal palace.

"But before taking action, you need to use other methods to let the Ottomans know the consequences of withdrawing from the war!!"

"Yes, I understand!!"

Amousai nodded and then left No. 10 Downing Street, which symbolizes the second most powerful house in the UK.

After he left, Russell stood on the window sill with a cigar in his mouth, looking at the huge city of London below, with white smoke constantly coming out of his mouth. He stood like this for a long time, waiting for the cigar to be smoked out before getting up and returning.

.............................................

"Ha ha……"

"Let us go, let us go!!"

“The true God will never forgive you beasts!!”

In a village in Asia Minor, village women were constantly pulled into the room, and the sounds of cursing and crying, as well as prayers to the true God, were heard constantly in the room.

The Russian soldiers outside continued to laugh obscenely.

In an artillery pit, Yankonov was processing the shell casings. As a country with backward industrial production capacity, recycling is the best way to maintain the war.

What's more, it's still valuable copper and iron.

Listening to the laughter and the cries of the women around him, Yankonov said nothing, but took out a silver hip flask from his pocket, which he had seized from an Ottoman officer. The other party's belief is not pure.

"Pa", he opened the lid of the wine bottle. There was no aroma, only pure liquid. He poured it into his mouth. A sense of satisfaction filled his whole body. Yankonov couldn't help but shout: "Suka" Bree!!”

Vodka is as important to the Russians as the weapon itself.

This is what a Russian colonel said during the last Crimean War.

"Yang Ke, Yang Ke..."

Hearing the familiar voice behind him, Yankonov was so frightened that he directly covered the lid of the pot and put it into the coat he had seized.

But when he turned around, Zelashimov still saw a clue.

"Yang Ke, you drank secretly, you secretly drank vodka??"

"Yes, that must be the case, you have... Wuwu!!"

Before Zelashimov could finish speaking, his mouth was blocked by Yankonov's big black hand, and all he could do was make a sound of "oooh".

"Shut up!!"

Yankonov cursed hard before letting go.

"Huhu", as soon as Zelashimov was released, he kept opening his mouth to exhale and inhale.

"I knew you had it, come on, take it out!!"

Zelashimov's first reaction after he was out of breath was to reach out and ask for vodka. For Russians, food can be the lowest black bread or even sawdust, but when it comes to drinking, Russians are never stingy.

"Keep your voice down, don't let others know!!"

Yankonov pulled Zerashimov aside and looked around, obviously not wanting the third person to know his secret.

When he saw the pot of vodka, Zelashimov asked in a low voice:

"God, how could you have so many? If I remember correctly, all the recent drinks have been finished. How could you??"

Yankonov looked at it for a few moments and then replied: "I exchanged the spoils for the black-hearted bastards in the logistics department. They were only willing to exchange me for a pot. We are friends, and I will give you half..."

“Oh God, Yanke, you are such a good person!!”

With just one sentence, Yankonov made Zelashimov consider him a true friend.

And when Zerakimov left with the good news that he had gone out for a drink at night, Yankonov behind him silently touched another silver flask in his coat. Big, obviously, he had a hand in reserve.

…………

Istanbul, which is approaching summer, is, as usual, full of Mediterranean style. Just as Napoleon said, if there is a world capital, it must be Istanbul. This legendary city, until now, has not fallen below the top three in Europe. The location shows its importance.

But from the sparse and listless crowds on the streets, we can see how much pressure this war has put on the rear. Even if this is the proud capital of the world, at this moment, it is just an ordinary city that may fall in a short time. Harbor city.

The "bold words" of the past have disappeared. Although there are a large number of "anti-Russian" slogans marked in black fonts on the streets, everyone just passes by as if they haven't seen them. There are even children peeing next to them, but adults will not. Pay attention.

Even if the police maintaining order on the street saw it, it was as if they had not seen anything. It was completely different from the lively atmosphere two months ago.

If we say that the Ottomans two months ago were a huge empire that could still be managed to integrate despite panic.

Well, currently the Ottomans, especially the Ottomans themselves, are actually completely out of order. Some fringe areas have completely refused to accept the orders issued by Istanbul. Even pro-French places like Egypt issued the so-called "Declaration of Independence" five days ago. .

The day after achieving independence, he announced the establishment of the Kingdom of Egypt and requested the French Emperor Napoleon III to be the first king of Egypt.

What this means cannot be clearer! !

In the face of the "persecution" of the French, the Ottomans were like a turtle with their heads shrunk. Apart from scolding a few "damn Egyptians" indifferently, they did not even mention the word France. .

A huge empire that once spanned Asia, Europe, and Africa, and suppressed Christians, has now fallen to this point. I have to say that it really "surprised" many people, and then they made the assumption that the future of Europe must belong to France and Russia. Judgment that Asia Minor will be conquered.

To the British Minister Niall, all this was a naked joke, a joke that slapped him in the face.

You must know that before the war started, he also vowed to Downing Street that everything was under control and the Russians could not cross the Black Sea.

But now, in just two months, the Russians not only crossed the Black Sea, but also entered the Asia Minor Peninsula, which is less than 300 kilometers away from Istanbul. What kind of concept is this? It means the demise of the Ottomans, only here Within three hundred kilometers.

Istanbul is the heart of the Ottoman Empire. Istanbul has been conquered, which means that this huge and ancient powerful empire has been conquered by the Russians. By that time, the claws of the Russian bear will stretch out to the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, and even the British. of the Indian Ocean.

And all this is intolerable to the British Empire! !
In the Ottoman Palace, the once magnificent palace was now full of "depression". This can be seen from the reduction of eunuchs in the palace and the reduction of expenses. The Ottoman Empire was not only in chaos outside, but also in chaos inside.

(The Ottomans used the eunuch system)

"Your Majesty, the British Minister Mr. Niall is here."

The beardless chamberlain Malzi whispered to Sultan Abdulaziz who had just "sucked high" and slowly woke up.

"British, let him in..."

Abdulaziz was obviously not awake yet, and there was a hint of "chaos" when he spoke.

"Hello, Your Majesty the Sultan!!"

Nial looked at the middle-aged man on the stage who had lost a lot of weight and had dark circles under his eyes, and cursed "The Sudan of Diapers" in his heart.
