Of course, it is impossible to hide that such a thing happened in a small mining village. According to the custom of the Turks, they were definitely going to take revenge. The way of revenge is usually similar to the way when the devils went to the anti-Japanese base areas to sweep in the later War of Resistance Against Japan. It's basically a three-light policy: all kinds of valuable things, as well as flower girls, are all snatched away, adult men are all killed, and houses and everything are burned down.

So when the smugglers brought down all the Turkish policemen, the whole village immediately panicked. All Armenians looked at these smugglers with fear and hatred. After all, the Turkish government, especially the local government, has always been very inefficient, and when the local government reacts, these smugglers will not know where to flee for a long time. When the time comes, those Turks will not be able to catch them, so they will naturally take out their anger on their own people. Of course, even if the Turks catch these people, they will do whatever they want.

However, although these villagers resented the smugglers for causing them trouble, they only dared to stare at them. After all, these people are not good people, and they will never honestly stay to atone for the sins of these Armenian villagers, as for forcibly keeping them, hehe, they dare to kill even the Turks, don't they dare to kill the Armenians?

"Gandalf, are you all packed?" Saruman asked.

"Everything is packed." Gandalf replied, hesitating for a moment, and then said, "Saruman, shall we go like this?" The Turks will definitely come to take revenge, and these villagers will be implicated. ”

"Well......" Saruman lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said to Gandalf, "Well, you go and tell the villagers to pack up and leave the village as well...... Staying here is a dead end. It would be better for them to go to Russia, or Serbia or something. ”

After Saruman said this, he shook his head, because although this village is only a hundred kilometers away from the border between Turkey and Russia, it is not particularly far, and the border guards of the Turks have many loopholes, but there are still many outposts in convenient places. It is also very, very difficult for a whole village, with more than 1,000 men, women and children, to sneak across the border from these places. After all, although Turkey is very corrupt, including the Turkish army, their commander is not a round man after all, and it is impossible to let more than a thousand people, hundreds of various animals slip under their noses and know nothing. Of course, there are places where there are no outposts, but they are all mountainous, and you have to play a big bend. The distance will increase by a few tens of kilometers. Unless those Armenians can be transformed into Japanese children in summer camps, each of whom can carry 50 kilograms and walk 50 kilometers in the wilderness. In this case, they have a chance to run into the mountains and flee to Russia before the Turkish government reacts. However, if the Armenians can really turn into Japanese friends in summer camps, will they still need to hide from the Turks? I'm afraid that I can beat the little Turkish monster in a few minutes, recover Byzantium, and rebuild Eastern Rome.

"Well, Gandalf, you tell them that if they want, we can use a nine-fold ...... Well, it's still 85% off. (The muscles in Saruman's face twitched) Yes, sell them the things we brought with us at a discounted price, so that they can have something to defend themselves when they escape. Anyway, after this incident, it is unlikely that we will continue to act as originally planned. So be it. Saruman said.

Gandalf's sales pitch was not very good, and although the previous massacres of Armenians had caused the Armenians to flee the village to avoid the limelight, they had no intention of escaping Turkey, and most of them only planned to hide in other Armenian villages and the like. Because of this intention, they have no intention of buying weapons from the smugglers who cause trouble for them. However, this is not a big deal for these smugglers.

"Alright, let's go." Hearing Gandalf's return, Saruman said these words, and then took the lead and rode out of the village with the smugglers.

…… The reaction of the Turks was indeed unpleasant, and after the incident, it took a whole day for the Turks to realize that something was wrong, but they still did not expect that their own police would be wiped out, so they just sent a few people to go over there to see. And when those people looked for it, they found that most of the people in this village had already run away, and then they realized that the situation was wrong. And then...... Then, after another four or five days, the Turks' crusade of police and army finally arrived in the small mining village. Coming so late, the main reason is that the police department doesn't dare to come by themselves (what if you meet a gangster?). And to use the army, the procedures are extremely cumbersome. As a result, it took a few days to complete these procedures.

However, if their efficiency is a little higher, they go a day or two in advance, and it is estimated that no one will be caught in the small mining village, but after a few days of delay, some villagers who have already run out to join their relatives or something, after finding that nothing happened, secretly ran back, and were arrested.

Several villagers were brought to the presence of the Turkish officer Hakan.

"!" Hakan spat on the ground and said contemptuously. Then he pulled out the scimitar at his waist and gently dangled the blade around the neck of an Armenian who was kneeling in front of him, "You know what's going on here, right?" ”

The Armenian trembled with fear, and he replied in a trembling voice, "Your Excellency...... It's really none of our business...... It's all ...... It's all those bandits...... And Roman Calfe them...... My lord...... We really didn't ...... anything."

"Very well, let me ask you, what about the rest of the village?" Hakan continued.

"They...... They all ran away......"

"Where did they go?"

"I went to another village and hid."

"Very good, I'm satisfied!" Hakan laughed like a jackal as he lifted the knife from the man's neck.

"Thank you for your kindness......" said the Armenian quickly. However, he was only halfway through this sentence when he saw Hakan's raised knife slash down with a cold light, and slashed straight at the man's neck, cutting off the Armenian's head. The falling head rolled on the ground for several meters before stopping, blood spurting everywhere.

"Ahh Several other Armenians exclaimed, and a little girl, who looked like the daughter of the man who had been hacked to death, screamed in amazement and wanted to rush up.

"Kill them all!" "Then we'll go back to the surrounding villages—only dead Armenians are good Armenians!" ”

At this time, the deceased's daughter had been held down by several soldiers, and someone asked, "Sir, what is this woman doing?" ”

"I'll play with you, and if you're not dead, I'll sell it." Hakan replied.

……

Over the next few days, the Turkish army suddenly showed great efficiency, raiding many nearby Armenian villages in succession, killing all the men, women, and belongings inside. At the same time, various Turkish newspapers continued to publish articles about the Armenians colluding with the Russians in order to rebel. As a result, attacks and massacres against Armenians spread rapidly throughout the Armenian-populated areas. Armenian-populated villages were razed to the ground, and those who lived in the cities were immediately attacked by their neighbors. Shouting slogans such as "Allah is great" and "Kill the infidels", these people beat the Amerians living in the cities to death with sticks or tied to pillars and burned to death. The Turkish police, on the other hand, stood aside and looked at them with a smile on their faces.

"Click", the camera shutter clicked softly, and Lucas lowered the curtains. He had just taken a very horrific photograph of a thug, holding a bloody machete in one hand and the head of a child of five or six years old in the other, cheering wildly, while next to him, several Turkish policemen were holding their hands and smiling appreciatively.

Two days later, the picture appeared in the newspapers of the Russians, and then news spread throughout Europe that the Turks were committing a genocide against the Armenians.

Two days later, at the Turkish embassy in Paris, an exiled Armenian drove a truck full of explosives into the embassy, and with a loud bang, the entire Turkish embassy was almost razed to the ground. The Turkish ambassador and more than forty other staff members died on the spot. The Turkish Sultan condemned the French Government's indulgence of Armenian killers and announced that it would use more forceful means to combat those insurgency. Immediately, the Russians declared that the Russian army was in a state of imminent war. And warning shelling was carried out on targets on the territory of Turkey.

Immediately after the Russians declared a state of imminent war, the Germans and Austria-Hungary declared that they believed that the dispute should be settled by peaceful means, and expressed their willingness to mediate the present state of affairs. At the same time, the soldiers' vacations were canceled to put pressure on Russia. Eventually, the Russians were forced to agree to hold a six-party meeting on the issue, including Russia, France, Germany, Great Britain, Austria-Hungary, Turkey, and Italy.
