SUBTITLE OF THIS CHAPTER: YUAN YANQI, A FRIEND OF QING ZHEN

Author's note: This chapter is not a death but a history!

…………………………………………………

Raphael de Nogales, who was happy when he heard about the war, naturally decided to go to war as soon as he heard that a huge war had broken out in Europe.

He jumped on the first ship and came to Euroaba.

Such a former revolutionary must have helped the weak, so he went to Belgium, the weakest, and asked to join the Belgian army.

Belgium was on the verge of extinction at that time. But they still said, "We don't have a shortage of people, you go to France and ask."

He went to France again, and the French told him that he could join the Foreign Legion. But Nogales considered himself a noble volunteer and not a mercenary for money, so he was to serve in the regular French army. The French brutally rejected him.

Nogales was really a "war addict", and he refused to give up after eating two bowls of closed-door soup in a row, so he began to ...... Look at the map!

As a result, he did find on the map that there was another country in the Entente that was even weaker than Belgium, which was already weak, and that was the Kingdom of Montenegro in the southwestern part of the Balkan Peninsula.

From the middle of the XVII century, the Montenegrin region was ruled by a Serbian family called Petrović-Njegoš.

In 1910, Nikolai Petrovich Negoš proclaimed the Kingdom of Montenegro, and he became Nicholas I.

Unfortunately, in 1918, this short-lived kingdom was incorporated into the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, which became the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the predecessor of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

In fact, Nicholas I himself was a Great Serbist, who always wanted to establish a Greater Serbian state dominated by all Serbs.

Therefore, Montenegro has always been very close to Serbia, and when World War I broke out, it followed Serbia to join the Entente.

Nogales felt that the small country of Montenegro must be short of people, so he went there. Unexpectedly, Montenegro arrested him as a spy, and it was not easy to find out that he was an international volunteer.

Montenegro naturally won't take him in, but Nicholas I thought this guy was funny...... Nonsense, can it not be interesting that the man who voluntarily ran from Latin America to Europe to fight the war, so he was taken to a diplomatic reception.

At the reception, he met the Russian ambassador. The ambassador was not very authentic and teased him for letting him try it in Japan.

Nogales must not have the money to go to Japan...... If you have money, you probably won't go to Japan...... If you go to Japan, you probably won't be able to join the army...... If you can join the army, you probably won't be able to fight.

Perhaps because of this, he was humiliated by the Entente four times, and he left Montenegro and went to the neighboring Kingdom of Bulgaria.

Although Bulgaria had not yet joined the Central Powers in 1914, Europeans knew that sooner or later Bulgaria would have to side with Serbia and Montenegro.

This is because during the Second Balkan War in 1913, Bulgaria was originally supported by the German Empire and Austria-Hungary. However, the two big brothers' chests were beating loudly, and the actual support was pitiful. So Bulgaria was defeated by the combined forces of Greece, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro, supported by Britain and Russia.

These countries signed the Peace of Bucharest, and Bulgaria was forced to agree to the division of Macedonia between Serbia and Greece. Most of Thrace was ceded to Greece, and the southern and northern Dobrocas were ceded to Romania, and even Montenegro was rewarded a little.

This kind of shame, how can it be that the Bulgarians do not retaliate and go back.

As the saying goes, the tree dies, and the person lives.

After running to the territory of the Allies, this war addict was indeed given the opportunity to participate in the war.

He met an Ottoman Turkish diplomat, who said that we Nagada were thirsty for talent, and that we needed a valiant knight like him with the spirit of Intene Naar.

So he, a born Catholic, a former revolutionary with strong roots, turned out to be a green cavalryman loyal to the Sultan and Caliphate!

"Dr. Yuan, how is this possible?"

"Gentlemen, you are naïve. The world is so big that since we Chinese were able to kidnap the British and Japanese crown princes in London and bring them to Ireland. So what is impossible for a South American revolutionary to join the Ottoman Turkish cavalry units? After all, for our male protagonist, whether it is the Entente or the Allied Powers, as long as there is a war, can't it? ”

"Dr. Yuan, do you admit that the kidnappers of the two crown princes are your compatriots?"

"Mr. Penguin, don't take my words, I really hope my compatriots did it...... Please don't interrupt me and keep recording. ”

Nogales, a war addict, was really in time, and in early 1915 he was given combat duty as soon as he joined the Turkish army.

He was sent to Erzurum, in the eastern Anatolian plateau.

The word Erzurum is derived from the Persian word meaning "place of the Romans". It is the largest city and military fortress in the mountains of eastern Turkey. This shows that this place was originally the territory of the ancient Roman Empire, and it is located on the traditional Silk Road, which has always been a battleground for soldiers.

But the main inhabitants of the city very early on were Armenians.

Ah, what is he doing there?

Oh, he went to "suppress" the "great uprising" of the Armenians.

Well, this is the Armenian massacre that is not so famous in history.

In the "forest of the world's nations", Armenia is not very lucky, but it is the half-dead and miserable Coptis tree that finally survived.

They are unlucky because they are located in the southern part of the Caucasus Mountains on the dividing line between Asia and Europe, which is the crossroads of human civilization.

Throughout history, Greeks, Persians, Romans, Byzantines, Mongols, Turks, Russians have stepped on them as they pass from east to west or from west to east.

This ancient people was still very tenacious in their faith, and even after being occupied by the Alahabs, they did not convert to Alah...... That AN pulls. So they have always been second-class citizens of the Ottoman Turkish Empire...... Subjects, it should be said.

By the beginning of the nineteenth century, after the Seventh Russo-Turkish War, Tsarist Russia bought (literally, really paid for) Eastern Armenia from Turkey, while Western Armenia remained under Turkish control.

In any case, both Armenia and Russia are Orthodox Christians, so a large number of Armenians migrated to the east. In this way, it only deepened the wariness of the Turks against the Armenians.

You know, how gentle and friendly the people who have taken refuge in ANLA. This was also the time when Turkish nationalism was on the rise, and the "Young Turks" came to power after 1909 with extreme overtones, composed of young military officers, who declared that they wanted to "settle the Armenian and other minority problems once and for all."

In fact, they want to establish a "pure" Turkish nation-state through such means.

Forgive the color of nationalism, what a combination of blows and listening.

From 1915 to 1923, read that right, it was indeed 1923, when the massacre of Armenians was carried out for eight whole years.

During this period, the number of victims ranged from one million to one and a half million. The Encyclopædia Britannica acknowledges that 600,000 Armenians were massacred between 1915 and 1916.

Of course, this number is nothing compared to the number of people who died in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the Russians in the Great Patriotic War.

However, however, before that, the number of Armenians in Turkey was only 2.4 million, and some estimates that due to the lack of statistical accuracy, it was actually less than 1.8 million.

In short, after 1925, only half a million Armenians remained.

While Nogales was still on the way, he heard someone shouting to the marching troops, they were already killing people, and they couldn't catch up when they were too late!

It was a little late for them, and before they reached their destination, they found that the slaughter had begun. The massacre was not only against Armenians, but against all Christians.

The way was empty, and he didn't know that the Turks had resorted to the most drastic methods. All men over the age of ten were executed on the spot, women who could be sold were sold, and the rest were "banished" to Syria.

In fact, the rest of the old and weak were stripped of their clothes without any provisions, and they were driven into the desert, which was a more cruel execution than execution on the spot!

One day, Nogales saw a bishop being dragged to a mass grave, and the bishop clearly saw him and recognized him as a Christian in military uniform, so he kept staring at him.

It was then that he discovered something even more terrible, and the soldiers who had carried out the massacre were staring at him.

Even though he was a war addict, he couldn't stand this kind of scene, and as soon as he found an opportunity, he sent a report to the Ottoman War Ministry to apply for discharge.

Just as Belgium, France, and Montenegro did not hesitate to reject his application for enlistment, the Ottoman Empire did not hesitate to reject his application for discharge......

Hearing this, the penguin couldn't help frowning and asked, "Wait a minute, Dr. Yuan." Are you really going to make this film? ”

“hy Not？”

Our Master Yuan gestured to the recorder with a cigarette and replied casually.

The torture expert asked a little curiously, "Dr. Yuan, do you think anyone would watch such a movie?" ”

"Hehehe......" Yuan Yanqian, who lit a cigarette, couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

He cocked his thumb and gestured to the outside and asked, "Mr. Penguin, is "Famine Orphan Girl" popular in Ireland now?" ”

"Hmm......" the torture expert nodded helplessly.

Even the Britons present could not deny that "The Orphan Girl of Famine" had become a so-called "phenomenal" film in Ireland in later generations.

How "phenomenal" is it?

Since its release on Saturday night, several Irishmen have died of a sudden illness due to the grief and anger of watching the film, and it is possible that there is too much air circulation due to too many audiences.

As a result, various screening venues had to invite doctors to be on site.

Sinn Féin and the IRA have gained a lot of momentum because of the film, and they don't care much about the film revenues anymore, because they both get a lot of extra money. Many viewers walk out of the cinema and go directly to their offices to donate.

In particular, a radical like Valera has greatly increased its voice, and the negotiations between Britain and Ireland have just begun to be a little untenable.

This is one of the reasons why Winston Churchill is bent on making trouble with our Master Yuan.

However, the torture expert immediately shook his head and said, "But even I, a layman, know that these two movies are different." Because ......"

"Because the Armenians are too quiet, aren't they?" Yuan Yanqian interrupted in a sarcastic tone.

"Gentlemen, it's okay, even if you can't make money."

"As an artist, I don't care much about money, I care about the artistic effect, and ......"

Our Master Yuan poked his chest hard with his fingers and said, "My conscience! ”

"Even if this movie makes me lose money and can't even wear pants, I still have to make it. Because I have the deepest sympathy for the plight of the Armenian people. ”

Our Master Yuan is not lying, he is really sympathetic to the Armenians.

Compare it with the two countries mentioned above, China and Russia. Even though the free world is very, very, very unkind to see Red or Not Red Seris and Russia, as allies in World War II, they cannot deny the heinous crimes committed by Nazi Germany and Japanese militarism.

However, the Turks did not admit to death, and even a hundred years later only admitted that only a few tens of thousands of Armenians had died (official death figures vary), and claimed that it was due to starvation and disease during the mass exile to Syria (then a Ottoman subject).

So much so that Himmler, when asked later how the ethnic cleansing of the Jews would be perceived by future generations, said that the more than a million people killed in Armenia had been almost forgotten after just a dozen years, and that our descendants would thank us for the cleansing of the Jews now.

The people of Euroa can forget the human tragedy that took place "only five days from Paris", and Yuan Yanqian, a Serisian, will not forget, and he also reminds people all over the world, including Europeans, to never forget this history.

Of course, he hated the executioners more than he sympathized with the Armenians, who had nothing to do with him.

Although they are not so annoying now, as a traverser who has returned from the lower reaches of history, Yuan Yanqian knows how annoying those people are.

In particular, the native chickens, who claim to be descendants of the Turks, have also developed a so-called "Turanism", that is, Pan-Turkism.

They declared that all the peoples who spoke the Altai "language family", including the Mongolian and Tungusic "language families", were their compatriots, so the lands occupied by those peoples were also Turkic lands.

According to the maps of the Turanians, the Great Turks stretched from the Japanese archipelago to Hungary.

This kind of map opening up the territory can only be compared with the cosmic powers that are also of the Altaic language family. From this point of view, they may really be compatriots.

Since our Master Yuan's current notoriety is known from Ireland to Khitan, then he will find some unhappiness for the local chickens from the Japanese archipelago to Hungary in advance.

Let's not forget that it's 1921, the year when imperialism of all stripes is in power, and they haven't become true saints.

What's more, in a hundred years there will be national unity, but not a hundred years ago.

EVEN IF LAO ZI BECOMES A "FRIEND OF QING ZHEN", WHAT CAN THEY DO TO ME?

Hence this "War Addict"!

The more Yuan Yan spoke, the more energetic he said: "Whether it is an Irish or an Armenian, I, a Chinese, am very sympathetic. ”

"Because my country has also been invaded by certain countries. So as a Chinese, as long as I live, I will speak up for the oppressed people of the world! ”

"Gentlemen, please write down what I have said in its entirety, uncompromised, and give it to your Excellency Churchill with this script......"

It is precisely because I remember that it is almost April Fool's Day, so there is such a chapter.
