Chapter 929: The Praetorian Guard in a Dilemma

"This ......" The people around him have a big headache, the key is that the situation is not clear, what happened in the ceremonial palace, no one knows, only heard the sound of gunfire and rushed over, and then was killed by a cold shot of more than 100 people, only then did he realize that something was wrong, Chinese it was possible to control the ceremonial palace, and it was difficult for Harry to die.

"TMD, how did the Chinese control the ceremonial palace? There are masters accompanying the caliph in the palace, and there are five hundred of the most elite Janissary soldiers outside the palace, how can they fall into the hands of the Chinese? But there was no sound of fighting, oh God, can you tell me what is going on? "Are those people all rubbish? How could the caliphate fall into the hands of the Chinese? This makes us attack is not, not to attack is not, but the Chinese outside have launched a fierce attack, although their number is small, but the artillery fire is extremely fierce, according to the news just came, three batteries have been destroyed, the city's military and civilian casualties are at least more than 10,000 people, TMD, grass! “

In the complaints, there is a hidden meaning, that is, the Janissaries do not care about the death of the caliphate, after all, the Turkish Janissaries have a long history of abolishing the caliphate, and in their hands, the caliphate is just a signboard for their own maximum benefits.

Although this Praetorian Guard is a newly established Praetorian Guard, it is inevitable that the old Praetorian Guard will have feelings of envy and admiration for the glorious history of the Caliph playing with the palm of their hands, and it is natural that they have no reverence for the Caliph.

If the caliph died, it would be replaced by another one, and maybe the glory of the old Janissaries could be restored, but they were just worried that the caliph was not dead and was taken hostage by the Chinese. This is a dilemma.

Everyone looked at Benazogru, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, but Benazoglu did not instruct, but his face was full of struggle and hesitation, it was obvious that the caliph was suspected of falling under the control of a foreign emperor in his own palace, such a shocking event that had never been heard of. Gives him a feeling of being overwhelmed.

"Your Excellency, I see...... Or transfer the artillery, the caliph should have been killed by the Chinese, otherwise, why hasn't there been any news until now? The longer it drags on, the better prepared the Chinese will be. ”

"I also think that His Majesty the Caliph has been killed, and the top priority is to avenge His Majesty the Caliph, and have the Chinese emperor accompany the Caliph to the funeral. Value! ”

"The Chinese army will definitely attack the Imperial Palace, and once it is attacked, we will be attacked on our backs, Your Excellency Commander, do not hesitate."

"No, I think we should be cautious, first of all, to find out what is really going on inside, whether the caliph is still alive or not. in order to determine the next step. ”

"I also don't think you can act recklessly, the artillery fire of the Chinese army is too fierce. He still has hundreds of thousands of troops in Tsaritsyn, once the Chinese emperor has an accident in Istanbul, China will inevitably retaliate strongly and will raze Istanbul to the ground, this is not the time to fight for power. It's about how to get through it. “

Bernazoglu was even more difficult to decide, and some of his subordinates agreed that it would not matter whether Abdulaziz lived or died, even if he was killed by his own artillery. It can also be relied on on the head of the Chinese, and the Janissaries once again intervened in the abolition of the monarchy, and the other part was to remind him to be cautious.

After all, there is no impermeable wall under the sky, and if Abdulaziz really dies under the fire of his own family, it is hard to guarantee that no one will say it, and then the Praetorian Guard will regain the notoriety of usurping the lord and even be forcibly disbanded again.

It's not more than a hundred years ago, although the Ottoman Empire at that time passed its heyday, it didn't allow other countries to point fingers, and the Janissaries deposed the emperor at home, and they could do whatever they wanted, and now, even if it is not leaked out, it is impossible for Britain and France and other European powers not to interfere in the succession of the caliphate, there are too many benefits in this, and the Praetorian Guard not only can't do whatever it wants, maybe it will be eliminated by the European powers.

In short, no matter what you do, the Praetorian Guard has to take a considerable risk, Benazoglu, as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, is even more on the cusp of the storm, countless pairs of eyes are staring at him, the slightest mistake is a catastrophe, if it is related to the death of the caliph, it is simply not enough to excuse his guilt, so deep in his heart he is inclined to seek stability, first figure out the caliph's life and death before making a decision.

He did not believe that Wang Feng dared to kill Abral Aziz, and the reason for the matter was easy to guess, it was nothing more than a collapse of the talks at the banquet, which instead gave him the opportunity to rescue the caliph, as long as an agreement was reached with the Chinese, his reputation would quickly climb until he gained greater authority.

Artillery is a dead end, not firing artillery may be able to benefit from it, he is different from Abdulaziz and others, he is a military, he knows his own pounds, the Ottoman Empire cannot defeat Russia, Russia is not the opponent of Britain and France and other European powers, and China has never lost a single defeat in the war with European powers, this is very telling, until the last resort, he is absolutely unwilling to go to war with the Chinese.

Even if the Chinese army is completely annihilated, but his soldiers are exhausted, then he is nothing, the Praetorian Guard is his political capital, besides, although China currently has only more than 10,000 marines in Istanbul, but hundreds of thousands of troops in Tsaritsyn, hundreds of kilometers away, once that army comes, Istanbul will be wiped out.

It's just that a considerable number of the young Zhuang officers under his command want to seize this opportunity to take the opportunity to kill the old caliph, and then take advantage of the chaos in Istanbul to interfere with the abolition of the new caliphate and reproduce the demeanor of the old Praetorian Guard.

And in the trench in front of the ceremonial palace, after the gunfire slowed down, a Black Hawk officer pushed the Fuad Pasha: "Stand up and shout loudly, say that your emperor is in our hands, safe for the time being, let all the Janissaries retreat, otherwise, don't blame us for the killers, in English, not in Turkish." “

Fouad Pasha hesitated, standing up for fear of being killed by a cold gun.

You must know that those who can be the prime minister of a country are all famous families, he is reluctant to give up his family business, and the Ottoman Empire has rotted like this, including him, there are few people in the entire court who are dedicated to the country, either colluding with Britain and France and other Western powers to betray the country, or seeking the qualification to collude with Western powers, just like an extremely popular inspirational saying of insurance companies in later generations: I am not at the customer's house, I am on the way to the customer's house!

"Smack!" With a bang, Fouad Pasha was still thinking about whether it would be okay to squat and shout, and a slap in the face had already been thrown in the face, and the officer said angrily: "Do you TMD not understand human words or how to drop?" Stand up! Or Lao Tzu will beat you to death! As he spoke, his palms were raised again, as if Fouad Pasha would slap him again if he hesitated.
