Chapter 186: Desert for Dreadnought


Although Kemal and the Turkish Socialist Party fought hard to regain a lot of lost points in the Balkan War on this plane, in fact, the Balkan Alliance can still fight again.

In the early battles, the losses of the Serbian and Montenegrin armies were not too large.

Serbian soldiers suffered 5,000 killed and 18,000 wounded, while Montenegrin suffered 2,500 killed and 6,600 wounded.

For the two countries' armies totaling nearly 280,000 people, these casualties are far from being broken.

On the Turkish side, nearly 30,000 people were killed, 50,000 were injured, 50,000 were captured, and more than 30,000 civilians died.

From a numerical perspective, it can be said to be a huge defeat.

But it depends on who you compare with.

Bulgaria and Greece suffered the greatest losses.

Bulgaria suffered 76,000 killed, more than 120,000 wounded, and 47,000 captured.

The Greeks lost 44,000 killed, 50,000 wounded, and 40,000 captured.

For these two countries, it was a real beating that hurt their muscles and bones.

As we all know, the Balkan Alliance is a weird thing.

Each member country has its own agenda and is trying to get in the way of each other.

It is a typical "hairball".

In the history of the original time and space, this "hairball" collapsed in less than half a year because of The dog bites the dog when the spoils are divided unevenly.

If this kind of "hairball" can fight smoothly, it's okay to say, "Hello, I'm ok, everyone is ok," but once they encounter setbacks, it's just a dream to expect them to work together.

Therefore, Bulgaria and Greece strongly demanded that Serbia and Montenegro, which had suffered little losses, should assume more "obligations" and send more cannon fodder, oh, troops, to continue pushing the Ottomans.

Bulgaria and Greece are smarter, but Serbia and Montenegro are not stupid either.

The bosses of the two countries all thought: Ouch, you two have gone too far.

You have suffered a big loss, so we are going to hit the wall again.

Kemal is so good at fighting, I was so stupid that I jumped into a trap even though I knew it was a trap.

With the current situation, Serbia and Montenegro have gained a large amount of land.

If they continue to fight, they will have to touch Kemal's beast, so they are basically satisfied.

And Bulgaria and Greece really can't go on fighting, especially Greece.

Even the crown prince was arrested, and he still had a ball.

The Ottoman government also felt lucky.

Although there were rare famous generals like Kemal who saved a lot of defeats, the domestic situation was too chaotic.

The royalists and the Young Turks were pinching them so hard that it was impossible for people to think like dogs.

Way to go on.

Since both sides are unable to fight anymore, this time the Balkan War is temporarily over.

The two sides each found a backstage to prepare for peace.

The Balkan Alliance found the Allies, Britain, France and Russia, and Turkey found the Allies, Germany, Austria and China.

Later, for the sake of fairness, the Allies and both parties invited the United States and Italy.

As a result, on February 2, 1913, the eight major powers, Britain, France, Russia, Germany, Austria, China, the United States, and Italy, were invited by both sides to formally mediate.

After some wrangling, and under the suppression of the great powers, the Ottoman Empire and the four Balkan countries signed the Treaty of London on February 10, and peace was restored between the two sides.

The treaty stipulates that Albania and Macedonia are independent but must be supervised by the six major powers: Russia, Britain, France, Germany, Austria, and Italy.

Part of the northern part of the two areas is handed over to Montenegro and Serbia.

Thousands of square kilometers west of the line from Mount Olympus to Florina and several islands on the Greek side were ceded to Greece.

Crete and the remaining islands in the Aegean Sea occupied by Greece were returned to the Ottomans.

Thousands of square kilometers north of the Kerzhali Akhtopol line were ceded to Bulgaria.

Finally, each released the prisoners of war.

Neither of the warring parties in the London Treaty was satisfied.

Montenegro and Serbia were the most frustrated.

Although they occupied most of Albania and Macedonia with relatively small losses, in the end they only received a few thousand square kilometers of land each, which was incompatible with their expected gains.

Not at all.

Serbia was the most angry.

They jumped up and down to connect with each other and tried their best, but in the end they only got a small amount of land in North Kosovo, but not as much as Montenegro.

The territory of this little country is almost half the size.

The most terrible thing is that they did not get the outlet to the sea they longed for most.

Greece's work was in vain.

It lost the battle on land and lost most of the territory it initially occupied.

Forget it.

Originally, they had occupied all the remaining islands in the Aegean Sea and Crete, but because the crown prince was captured, they had to take most of them back, leaving only a few islands near the Greek side such as the Sporades Islands.

Bulgaria was also so depressed that she wanted to vomit blood.

They paid 200,000 casualties this time, but only gained a few thousand square kilometers.

The Balkan Alliance worked so hard and suffered 300,000 casualties.

In the end, they only lost a few scraps, which was a huge advantage to the two new countries of Albania and Macedonia.

Of course, not to mention the Ottomans.

Although the losses were much smaller than in the history of the original time and space, all they lost was their land.

However, they were unable to fight anymore, and the domestic political situation was unstable, so they had to pinch their noses and admit it.

It can be said that the Balkan Alliance was cheated by the great powers.

This was mainly because Chinese representative Lu Zhengxiang told them privately, "The Ottoman Empire is already very weak, and it is not good to weaken it too much.

Serbia and Bulgaria are both ambitious.

If they have the strength If it is too strong, it will not be good news for the situation in the Balkans.

It would be better to let the European part of Turkey that cannot be saved be independent."

Germany and Austria naturally strongly support China's views, while the United States is indifferent.

Italy also agreed out of its own interests.

Britain, a perennial troublemaker, always likes to play with balance.

Naturally, it does not want Serbia and Bulgaria to be too strong.

Most importantly, they do not want Turkey to be too weak, so that the bear's paws can reach into the Mediterranean.

France has the same attitude.

Although Mao Xiong objects, he can't stand alone.

Therefore, this plan that focused on suppressing the Balkan Alliance was adopted by the great powers.

Less than a month after the contract was signed, another coup occurred in the Ottoman Empire.

The coup was initiated by royalists seeking to wrest power from the core of the Young Turks party of the United Progressive Council.

However, the coup failed, and the ruling Young Turks took the opportunity to launch a purge of royalists.

On March 3, Ottoman Sultan Hamid II was deposed and his younger brother Rashua Effendi succeeded him as Muhammad V on March 27.

It should be said that Hamid II was relatively lucky, because in the history of the original time and space, he was deposed in 1908.

However, there have been some changes in the history of this plane.

At that time, the royalist party received funding from a secret organization called "Decepticon", and its power increased so much that the Young Turks did not dare to completely abolish him, but only restored him to a constitutional monarchy. control, hand over power as a rubber stamp.

As soon as you look at the name of this "Decepticon" organization, you can tell that it is related to Mr.

Wen.

So, why did Mr.

Wen help Hamid II?

In fact, Mr.

Wen did not want to help Hamid II at all, and Mr.

Wen was not familiar with him.

Wen Desi just didn't like the Young Turks and wanted to cause them trouble.

Because this organization is very dishonest and a pan-Turkist political party, they began to infiltrate into Xinjiang in 1904.

In the history of the original time and space, because Turkey did not formally establish diplomatic relations with the then Beiyang government, it used German diplomats to infiltrate Xinjiang.

Their infiltration reached its peak in 1915 and 1916, and this situation continued until Beiyang joined the Allied Powers and declared war on Germany. was stopped.

Although in this plane, the zombies and various poisonous forces have been on the streets long ago, all the dishonest guys there have either been killed by old man Zhao Erfeng, or they have been sent to labor camps for life.

As for the spies who infiltrated, they all became "volunteers" and contributed to the development of biology and medicine in China.

Wen Desi has always been cold-blooded and would never be polite to this kind of thing.

As for the tolerant policy of Da Tuchao, he would never even think about it.

Even the remaining so-called "moderate elements" have all been implanted with D5 biochips for subconscious brainwashing and monitoring.

This is also for their own good.

This Young Turk Party can be said to be a vicious backstage boss.

It’s surprising that Wen Desi has a good impression of them.

With President Wen’s retributive character, how could he not dig a few holes for them?

In fact, supporting the royalists only digs a small hole for them.

The other sinkhole is of course the Turkish Scientific Socialist Party.

Your Young Turk Party actually dares to play dirty tricks with me, then I will completely kill Xinjiang that you want to mess with me, and I will mess with your entire country

In 1907, Wen Desi sent a group of Turkish-looking cyborgs to infiltrate the Ottoman Empire to promote scientific socialist ideas.

In order to adapt to the situation in other countries, Wen Desi also asked his biochemical theorists to compile a new theoretical book on the basis of Materialism of China, Materialism of the Earth.

The first person to be attracted by the theory of scientific socialism was Osman Nefules.

Nievles's own ideology leans towards socialism.

He has previously proposed that "working people are the main body of the country and their political status should be improved.

Schools should be open to the children of the poor to oppose the arbitrary oppression of working people by a small number of exploiting classes."

Such progressive political ideas have not yet formed a systematic theory.

After getting the book Materialism of the Earth, he felt like a treasure and became an ardent believer in scientific socialism.

With his vigorous publicity and promotion, he soon attracted Kemal and other young officers to join.

For people in oppressed countries, especially those who are interested in reviving their country, this book has a powerful brainwashing ability.

Now that the "Sinkhole" has grown, the royalists have no value, so they have lost support and are no match for them this time, and have been completely purged.

However, although the Young Turks completely controlled the Ottoman central government, the Turkish Scientific Socialist Party also grew a lot.

The glorious achievements of the Turkish Socialist Party, coupled with the aura of Kemal as a war hero, countless young people have come to vote, many of them officers.

Now at least one-third of the country's middle- and lower-level officers and a handful of upper-level officers have become members or sympathizers of the Turkish Socialist Party.

Although there is still a certain gap between the country and the country's ability to gain national power, this is only the beginning.

Moreover, Kemal also obtained Salonika, East Macedonia and Thrace as base areas, and also gained many territories in Asia.

China's "selfless" help in the war and support during negotiations were certainly not in vain.

The Turkish government also wanted to make a statement, so after some bargaining between the two parties, the port of Hudaydah in Yemen and its surrounding 100 square kilometers were leased to China for 50 years, and the aid was used as rent.

In addition, the two sides also signed a land-for-aid treaty.

The Ottomans sold the current land in the Arabian Peninsula, that is, the land near the sea between Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, to China, that is, around the port of Dammam, and China gave the Ottomans a value of 70 million.

Huayuan's military assistance included a "Fuxi-class" super-dreadnought ship in addition to well-received aircraft, artillery and other land and air force weapons.

From the perspective of the Ottoman government, this transaction is tantamount to taking advantage of the situation.

Although this land covers nearly 80,000 square kilometers, it is already an enclave.

It is currently in a semi-independent state and has a sparse population.

It is basically nothing but sand.

No.

For the Ottomans, this land was useless.

It was simply too profitable to exchange it for a super-dreadnought ship and a batch of army and air force weapons.

However, in Wen Desi's opinion, if you use a super-dreadnought ship and a batch of weapons, the cost price and selling price of something with a total value of less than 50 million are definitely different.

Even if it is a friendly price, you can exchange it for the world's largest oil field. , I also made a lot of money s: I’m going to draw a book soon to liberate Taiwan and the Liaodong Peninsula, quack My classmates, please encourage me with your votes
