Outside Tbilisi, a group of refugees are fleeing to the Caucasus, shouting: "Hurry, hurry, the Ottomans are about to catch up!" ”

Suddenly, someone exclaimed: "Oh no, someone has fainted!" ”

At the same time, a cry rang out. It was a middle-aged woman who fainted, joined halfway through, along with two children.

The eldest was eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest was only three or four years old, and the woman had always carried it on her back. The middle-aged woman suddenly fainted, and the child fell off her back and was crying.

Victorkis, who was not far away, immediately rushed over when he heard the news, and after checking it, he sighed and said, "It's hopeless, she's run out of oil and the lamp is dry!" ”

This kind of thing has happened too much on the way to escape, and everyone has become numb.

Victorkis said casually and ruthlessly: "Take the child, let's go on!" ”

Then the two soldiers quickly put the young child into the carriage, and the older child consciously followed the large army and continued to advance.

That's right, this fleeing army was the citizens of the "United Kingdom of the Three Tribes", who had fled after being massacred by the Ottoman Empire.

Victorkis became the leader of this army, and as the father of the survivors of the Constantinople uprising, he has now become the leader of the Armenian People's Party and the interim president of the Tri-Ethnic United Kingdom.

This party is now the most powerful revolutionary group among Armenians, and has an armed force of more than 20,000 men. The program of the BJP was to overthrow the Ottoman Empire and establish a democratic and free kingdom of Armenia.

Victorkis was the founder of this party, which was initially formed by revolutionaries who had survived the Protests in Constantinople, and then annexed a number of other revolutionary groups.

It is now a large party with more than 100,000 members, and its composition has spread from the original Armenians to other minorities.

When the world war broke out and the Ottoman government raised the butcher's knife against the minorities, Viktorkis immediately organized a popular uprising and established the Tri-Communal United Kingdom, with Victorkis himself serving as the president of the provisional government. (Note: Armenians, Slavs, Greeks)

There is no doubt that after a year of resistance, the uprising ultimately failed, and the rebel army was forced to begin a transfer.

After more than 20 years of sleeper work, Victorkis now sees himself as a member of the Armenians many times, and only in the dead of night does he remember his original identity and mission.

However, Victorkis did not regret accepting the mission, and he vividly remembered how the Ottoman army had slaughtered his village forty years earlier, and his parents had saved him by hiding him in a water tank and dying with his other siblings.

Surviving, he left the village and went to Bulgaria to join his aunt, and by chance he was absorbed by the intelligence organization.

After more than five years of rigorous training, Victor Kis successfully graduated and became a qualified spy. With hatred for the Ottoman Empire, he accepted this long-dormant mission without hesitation.

Later, Viktorkis's life was like a hanging, he was just lurking and waiting for the opportunity to create chaos for the Ottomans, but he didn't expect an accident to detonate the Armenian uprising in advance, and he became one of the leaders of the rebel army.

After the uprising was suppressed, he was fortunate enough to become the supreme leader of the surviving rebel army, and then, with the help of Bulgarian intelligence, Viktorkis founded the Armenian People's Party, and then became the president of the Tri-Ethnic United Kingdom.

Although this unification was suppressed by the Ottoman government within a few days, Victorkis still gained a high reputation among the ethnic minorities in the Ottoman Empire.

Especially after the failure of the uprising, he personally led the army to cover the retreat of the people.

Of course, this is just the result of packaging and propaganda, in fact, now the Ottoman Empire has no intention of looking for their bad luck, half of the Asia Minor Peninsula has fallen, Ankara is about to be precarious, who can care about their remnants of the defeated generals?

At this time, Victorkis naturally needs to stand up and put on a show, after all, this is the best time to gain prestige, and at the same time, he can legally incorporate the armed forces of other forces.

Seeing that Viktorkis was in a bad mood, one of them comforted: "Mr. President, in another week we will arrive in the Caucasus, which is the territory of the Russians, and we will be safe when we get there!" ”

Viktorkis shook his head and said, "Alas, the Russians are not easy to get along with! Karma, you don't really think that they are going to support our independent statehood, do you? ”

Kalmar was a little surprised and said, "Didn't the Russians all promise?" And the Entente countries have all recognized our independence? ”

Viktorkis smiled bitterly and said: "That's so simple, now we are lost dogs, and we even have to rely on the Russians for survival, and it's not easy for them to annex us?" ”

Karma exclaimed, "Ah! What can I do? ”

Victorkis thought for a moment and said, "Be patient! No matter what the outcome is, there is no room for resistance, and even if it is annexed by the Russians, it is better to ensure the safety of the people than to let them be slaughtered by the Ottomans! ”

Karma was shocked, but still pretended to be unwilling and said, "But aren't our efforts in vain?" ”

Victor Kis smiled bitterly and said, "You haven't seen it yet? Now is the era of power, and small countries are not qualified to pursue democracy and freedom! Either to be annexed by this or by that, do we have a choice? ”

Obviously, Victorkis already knew about the plans of the Russians, and he also knew that Kalmar had already been in contact with the Russians, and now he deliberately showed a helpless expression, undoubtedly telling the Russians that he would not stubbornly resist the annexation of the Russians, and that the two sides could cooperate!

Of course, it doesn't matter if Karma hasn't defected to the Russians yet, there will definitely be Russian spies in the team, and the result will be the same no matter who spreads the word!

No way, now Viktorkis still has to live under the wing of the Russians, and if he shows anti-Russian tendencies, it is estimated that it will be difficult to reach the Caucasus alive.

As for taking refuge in the Russians? As long as the Russians are not stupid, they will think that there is a problem, Victorkis is already the president of the United Kingdom of the Three Tribes, it is okay to rely on them, what good is it to take refuge in them?

You know, now Viktorkis's prestige is already very high, there is no one in the United Kingdom who can compete with him, even if he becomes the elected king later, it is not impossible, and it is simply impossible for the Russians to offer better conditions to buy him!

……

"Did President Victorkis really say that?" The current commander of the Caucasian Front, Nikolai . Nikolaevich. Admiral Yudenich asked in surprise

The chief of staff said calmly: "Yes! According to the information from our intelligence officers, President Victorkith is now very depressed, and it seems that this incident has hit him hard! ”

Nikolai. Nikolaevich. Admiral Yudenich laughed and said: "This is good news, if we can convince Viktorkis to cooperate with us, whether it is to establish a pro-Russian regime or to annex them outright, it will be much easier!" ”

The United Kingdom of the Three Tribes, created by Victorkis, was a mixed kingdom, and the People's Party he founded was only the most powerful of them, and although he had achieved military unification by the hands of the Ottomans, other political groups still existed.

Because of their ethnicity, the Slavs in the tri-ethnic United Kingdom naturally favored the Russians, although their population was limited and their influence was not sufficient.

If the Russians tried to prop them up, they would have met with resistance from the Greeks and Armenians, and the attempt to annex the nascent kingdom could easily provoke a backlash.

On the contrary, it is easier to achieve the goal by supporting Victorkis, after all, he is the president elected by everyone, and it is much easier to persuade others as long as he is persuaded to cooperate with the Russian Empire.

The chief of staff shook his head and said: "Of course, but things are still not so simple, and Victorkis is not a simple character, even if he is hit and will not stand up against us, it does not mean that he has to cooperate with us!"

Fortunately, there is no final decision in the country yet on whether to directly annex them or support the pro-Russian regime, and we can still give him any promises! ”

Nikolai. Nikolaevich. Admiral Yudenich said calmly: "No, he will definitely cooperate with us, at least until the end of the world war!"

Now they also need our military protection, and there is simply no choice. And Viktorkis is not without weaknesses, you find no, he is very hostile to the Ottoman Empire! ”

……

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, the tri-ethnic United Kingdom is useless, but in the eyes of the Russian top brass it is very important, and it is related to the territorial division between Bulgaria and Bulgaria after the war.

With the tri-ethnic United Kingdom in hand, it also has sovereignty over the Greater Caucasus, Lake Sevan, and the Arras River basin.

(Note: parts of present-day Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and parts of the Russian Caucasus and parts of Turkey, with a total area of about 400,000 square kilometers)

Don't look at the current relationship between Bulgaria and Russia is very good, but when it comes to interests, everyone will still not give an inch, and with the greed of the woolly bear, they naturally don't mind taking an extra point.

Anyway, in the previous agreement reached between the two sides, it was only agreed that the Asia Minor Peninsula was not divided, and the remaining areas of the Ottoman Empire were not specifically divided.

Otherwise, the Russians are not charitable, why should they send troops to rescue the United King of the Three Tribes?

There are more than 2 million refugees alone, so many people spend an astronomical amount of money every day, and there is no shortage of people in the woolly bears, why should they save people?

……

Time flew by, a week passed, and Victorkis arrived in the Caucasus with the last batch of refugees, successfully completing the task of the great evacuation.

"It's finally here!" Victor Kis sighed

A fat man ran out and gave Victorkis a hug, and then said, "Mr. President, you're finally here, and you're worried about us this time!" ”

Victorkis's face changed, and he said angrily, "Ralph, you fat pig, are you trying to strangle me?" Don't let it go yet! ”

Ralph let go of his hands in embarrassment and said helplessly: "Sorry, I didn't hold back for a while!" You know, we need you so much, so ......."

Victorkis said angrily, "So you're going to strangle me?" Damn, I thought this difficult journey would allow you to lose weight, but I didn't expect you to be so fat! ”

Ralph shrugged his shoulders and said, "You know it's impossible!" ”

Victorkis nodded in agreement, and then asked suspiciously, "Why is it only you and the other cabinet members?" ”

Ralph frowned, and then said, "Of course it's a slap on the back of the Russians, you know that except for me, the Chancellor of the Exchequer who is loyal to you, no one else is so reliable!" ”

Victor's face sank, even if he had expected someone to betray, when the day really came, he was still not in a good mood.

"Forget it, let them go!" Victorkis reluctantly said that deep down in his heart he had given these people a big cross, and would just kick them out of the government when the time came.

Suddenly, an attendant came up and said, "Mr. President, a Russian major general wants to see you." ”

Victorkis didn't even think about it, so he just said, "Please come here!" ”

I saw that the person who came was about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, dressed in military uniform, and saw Viktorkis very enthusiastically and said: "Dear Mr. Viktorkis, Vasily Ivanov greets you, on behalf of the Commander-in-Chief of the Caucasus Military District of the Russian Empire - Nikolai. Nikolaevich. Admiral Yudenich will welcome you and invite you to Grozny in two days to join the welcome banquet that has been prepared for you! ”

Victor Kis was shocked, and was calculating what medicine was sold in the gourd of the Russians, and why did the commander of the Caucasian Front, General Nikolai, hold a welcome banquet for him alone?

After all, when the British government arrived in the Caucasus before, it was only a colonel, and the gap was too big!

On the face, Victorkis said quietly: "Thank you! Major General Vasily please bring a message to Admiral Nikolai for me, and I will definitely attend on time when the time comes! ”

After sending the Russians, Viktorkis and the senior officials of the provisional government exchanged a few words of greetings, although it is not known that there are still a few reliable among these people, but since they appear here, at least it shows that their president still has weight in their hearts.
