The world in 1864 was still in turmoil, and it wasn't much more peaceful with the fall of Santiago. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The army of the new Japanese will soon cross the Andes again and, together with the Republic of Paraguay, launch an invasion of Argentina. At the same time, the two South American powers, Argentina and Brazil, also concluded an alliance and prepared to jointly oppose the coalition forces of New Japan and Paraguay. The war in South America is about to escalate in full force!

The Ming Empire's conquest of the Kingdom of Annam continued, and most of the lands of the Kingdom of Annam had fallen, but the sporadic resistance of the Annamite people did not end. The Tusi in the north of the Kingdom of Burma raised the flag of rebellion one after another, declaring their independence from the jurisdiction of King Min Dong, and the sky over Burma began to be covered with war clouds.

The fighting in North America ceased for a while, and boatloads of black soldiers were transported by French and Mexican ships to Black Africa, where they were prepared to cause more killing and fighting. After returning to Mexico City, Empress Mathilde I of Mexico also began to prepare for the invasion of the United States of Colombia with her younger brother, King Joseph I of the United Kingdom of Central America.

In Europe, a war against the Turkish Empire was coming to an end. On March 18, 1864, on the spire of the Ayasofia Mosque, a black double-headed eagle flag on a yellow background, symbolizing the Orthodox Eastern Roman Empire, is fluttering in the wind!

The inside and outside of this mosque of extraordinary symbolic significance have been hastily cleaned up, and the dense corpses left over from the previous fierce battle have been removed as much as possible. The bodies of the Turks were loaded onto carts and transported outside the city for burial. The bodies of the Christians killed in the battle for the Aya-Sofia Mosque were gathered and covered with the black double-headed eagle flags of Eastern Romans and Orthodox Christians on a yellow background.

They will be buried in the same place where they fought...... It will once again be inside the Aya Sofia Mosque that will become Hagia Sophia. Not only will the Aya Sofia Mosque be converted back to a cathedral, but all the mosques in Istanbul will be turned into churches, and the name of the city will also be changed to Constantinople. What Mehmed II the Conqueror did to Constantinople 411 years ago will now be repeated, except that the victims have changed from Christians to true God.

"I command that all mosques in Constantinople must be turned into Christian churches before the sun rises tomorrow! I command that all true God believers in Constantinople must convert to Christ before the sun rises tomorrow! If they are not willing to convert, then they must leave Constantinople! Get out there, or be carried out as a corpse! ”

Tsar Alexander II, riding a majestic Arabian horse and wearing a blue Tsar's Guards uniform, was loudly giving orders to a group of high-chested Russian generals. The campaign to regain Constantinople cannot be overemphasized for Russia, for Christendom as a whole. With such a face-saving thing, how could Alexander II not go to the front in person?

Moreover, Russia has always considered itself the heir to the Eastern Roman Empire. The possibility of eastward expansion in Russia was completely blocked by the Ming Empire, and westward expansion was blocked by the Austrian Empire and the unified German Empire, and the restoration of the Eastern Roman Empire in the south almost became the only direction of expansion in Russia.

And the capture of Constantinople meant the beginning of the revival of the Eastern Roman Empire! Alexander II had already planned to wait until the war with Turkey was over, and he would be crowned Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire at Hagia Sophia in Constantinople!

With the sound of horses' hooves, Alexander II and his entourage, escorted by the cavalry of the tsar's guards, arrived in front of the Mosque of Ayasofia, the symbol of Istanbul, amid cheers of "Ula". In the sound of military bugles, the Russian Minister of War Dmitry, who personally commanded the offensive and defensive battles in Istanbul. Alexievich. Marshal Milyutin and several generals who were covered with the smell of gunpowder all raised their hands solemnly and saluted, which was a neat snap.

"Your Majesty, glorious Constantinople has returned to the hands of the Christians!" Marshal Milyutin reported loudly. Then there was the earth-shattering sound of "Ula" - there were now more than 200,000 Russian troops in the city, and more than 100,000 Austrian troops, no less than tens of thousands gathered around the Mosque of Ayasophia to witness the revival of the Eastern Roman Empire, and now all of them cheered the loudest.

The Tsar rode on his horse, just glanced at the bullet-riddled façade of the Aya Sofia Mosque, tears welled up in his eyes, and then raised his right hand high and waved it vigorously. The cheers suddenly stopped, and the scene fell silent.

The Russian tsar took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement a little, and shouted: "Now I declare that the Eastern Roman Empire has been revived!" ”

"Ulla! Ulla! Ula ......"

The cheers were thunderous. The Russian Tsar, who had long considered himself the heir to the Eastern Roman Empire, had long wanted to regain Constantinople and be crowned Eastern Roman Emperor in the city that bears Constantine the Great's name. And the propaganda machine of the Russian government and the Orthodox Church also teach the Russian people in this way...... For the Russians of this era, the loss of Eastern Siberia is really nothing - there will be less to walk when they are in criminal exile in the future. But the significance of the reconquest of Constantinople is incomparably significant!

The tsar waved his hand again, and the scene was quiet again. Alexander II went on to say: "The reconquest of Constantinople is only the beginning and not the end of the revival of the Eastern Roman Empire!" I am here to assure you, as well as to the martyrs of the Eastern Roman Empire, who dedicated their lives to the defense of Constantinople, that the Turkish Empire will die, and that the whole of Asia Minor, Transcaucasia, and the Arabian Peninsula will become the territory of the Eastern Roman Empire! The flags of Eastern Rome and Orthodoxy will be planted in the city of Baghdad, and the great mosque of Mecca will be transformed into the temple of Orthodox Christianity! ”

"Ulla! Ulla! Ula ......"

The cheers thundered again, and the sound pierced the walls of Istanbul, crossed the Bosphorus, and reached the Anatolian citadel on the other side of the strait.

The flag of the crescent moon is still flying listlessly over the castle, which was built in 1394. The castle was built by Sultan Bayezid I as a lookout fortress for the assault on Constantinople. Four hundred and eleven years ago, it was here that Mehmed II the Conqueror probably witnessed his army seize the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire. And today, the son of Muhammad II, Abdul. It was here that Aziz I witnessed the fall of Stanbul – the jewel in the crown of the Turkish sultan, which had been taken away by the Russians.

When the faint sound of "Ula" came from the other side of the strait, standing on the towering watchtower and looking at the old capital Abdul. Aziz I was trembling, and tears rolled down uncontrollably. At the moment, he was accompanied by only the Turkish Chief Minister Ali. Pasha and Daming Ambassador Du Wenxiu.

"I saw the Orthodox flag, it was flying all over Istanbul, it was really annoying!" The Sultan muttered under his breath.

"No, my majesty, that flag now represents not Orthodoxy, but the Eastern Roman Empire!" Ali. Pasha's voice was cold, but it spoke to a fact. It was impossible for the tsar to allow the Orthodox Church to take over Istanbul Bull. In Russia, the Orthodox Church was completely controlled by the state, as if it were a branch of the tsarist government, and it was impossible to own cities and territories like the Roman Catholic Church. So this flag can only represent the Eastern Roman Empire!

"O God! Please forgive me for my weakness. "Abdul. Aziz I's body was trembling, and his eyes were full of fear.

The Eastern Roman Empire is back! This means that the Russians will continue to expand into Asia Minor and the Arabian Peninsula! At least seize the peninsula of Asia Minor, the western part of the Arabian Peninsula and Transcaucasia...... And the Turkish Empire simply could not resist!

"Your Majesty the Sultan, the abandonment of Istanbul is the beginning of the revival of the Turkish Empire." Du Wenxiu hurriedly comforted in Turkish. After the London Peace Conference decided the fate of Turkey, former friends left one after another, even the French ambassador did not appear in front of the Sultan, and the only one who did not abandon Turkey was probably China.

Du Wenxiu took a deep breath and said loudly: "Before Turkey gave up Istanbul, Austria and the Christians of the entire Balkan Peninsula were her mortal enemies. And now, there is only one enemy of Turkey, and that is the Russians who raised the flag of Eastern Rome! And Russia is also the sworn enemy of the Ming Dynasty. From now on, the two great Eastern empires, Ming and Turkey, have truly stood together and are inseparable! ”r1152
