Chapter 230 230 The prologue of the prologue has begun~

While Lin Youde interacted with his "wings" and raised his daughter, the business did not fall behind.

Originally, Viola had accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with domestic and international incidents, and she had been working with Lin Youde for so long, and she already had the ability to take charge on her own.

What's more, there are so many capable people around her to help, whether it is the German government or the document processing agency established by Hybert under Lin Youde's name, the efficiency is quite satisfactory.

Moreover, Lin Youde's autonomy in organizing the various branches of the world world is relatively high, and the situation in the Ottoman Empire is indeed to the point where anything can be lit on fire, so although Viola is the only one who is following up on the Ottoman situation, the Ottoman Empire is still sliding towards the end of self-destruction.

The reaction of the great powers to this situation was surprisingly unanimous, Britain amassed forces in Egypt and the Arab regions they controlled, and France not only left the troops that suppressed Algeria **** in Algeria, but also continued to increase troops in that direction.

At the same time, Russia was not willing to be reluctant, and continued to increase troops in Crimea and other places.

In order to mobilize these troops, the Russians had to adjust their domestic fiscal policy and issue more national debt, and it seems that Lin Youde's strategy of buying time through war is more feasible than expected.

In the Ottoman territory, spies from various countries were also active, trying to push the situation to their own advantage.

The Ottoman Empire has survived to this point in large part because the great powers are holding each other back, and everyone wants to cut the flesh from this dying beast, but no one wants to see others cut more than themselves, and the result is a stalemate.

But now that the beast is dying, the stalemate is about to turn into a robbery, and the great powers are baring their fangs.

Compared with the great powers, Lin Youde's banner is very clear: NERV does not want territory or interests, and simply supports the people of the empire to overthrow the backward and brutal imperial regime.

In this way, Lin Youde rose to prominence against the backdrop of a group of powerful countries that were ready to tear up the land and cede the land, and the newspapers of various countries that tended to pan-humanism all spared no effort to sing praises, while some newspapers that did not support pan-humanism, but flaunted justice and conscience, published articles with a strong cult of personality.

Lin Youde has once again become a representative of the great light, righteousness, truth, goodness and beauty of the international community, and has the demeanor of a human rights pioneer country in another time and space.

Of course, whether it is Lin Youde or other countries, they all know that these are just acting skills, no one in the international community will act because of justice and conscience, and only interests are those who push the major power groups to take action. Lin Youde is just hiding the interests he is seeking.

Therefore, after Lin Youde made a high-profile statement of support for the Ottoman people's just struggle, the actions of various countries became cautious - because they could not be sure what medicine Lin Youde was selling in the gourd, for fear of falling into the trap dug by Lin Youde.

Various countries have put forward such and such speculations, but no one has expected that Lin Youde intends to trap the Russian bear in this quagmire - at this time, it is widely believed that the Russians will defeat the terminally ill Ottoman Empire as neatly as the Japanese.

In July 1935, when the countries were cautious, seeing that Lin Youde had no intention of continuing to act, and that the revolutionary storm within the Ottoman Empire was already on the verge of breaking out, they once again let go of their hands and prepared to participate in this food rush according to the original plan.

However, in the past few months, Britain has also seen some ways: Russia does not have the strength to maintain such a large number of troops on the border for a long time, and their military spending continues to rise, and the economy will not be able to support it if this continues.

So the British decided to give the Ottoman authorities some support in private, let them delay a little longer, and consume the Russians more.

The Russians wanted to "beat him" as soon as possible.

In this context, a peculiar situation arose in the "dark war" in the territory of the Ottoman Empire: "Russian spies desperately wanted to create a bloody case against the Slavs, so that the Russian army could go out in the name of 'protecting the Slavs', while British spies, in turn, desperately protected the Slavs and thwarted the Russians' attempts again and again." ”

Finally, the time advanced to August 1935.

In the Sea of Marmara near the city of Istanbul, the battleship Saladin of the Ottoman Turkish Imperial Navy opened fire on the resplendent royal palace in the city of Istanbul.

The battleship Saladin was originally a King-class battleship belonging to the German High Seas Fleet, but after the victory of the Ottoman Empire, which had joined the side of the Allies, the ship was handed over to the Ottoman Turkish Navy as compensation.

Despite the neglect of maintenance, the British navy-trained crew still accurately projected shells near the palace, and then the goddesses belonging to several Islamic tribes who supported the Turkish al-Shabaab marched towards the palace, while a large number of people also took to the streets with the crescent moon flag, singing Saladin's war song and marching towards the imperial government.

The NERV flag was mixed in with these crescent flags, and the red part was replaced with green by the local custom.

The Ottoman emperor had long since lost the desire to resist - perhaps he still had a little thought in his heart for the sake of his country, and did not want the few remaining Ottoman gods to fall in the civil war.

In this way, the Ottoman Empire fell, so fast that the Great Powers did not react at all.

In the days that followed, the situation in Istanbul calmed down, and the imperial parliament reconvened under the audabatical party of Turkey to prepare for the first constitution in the history of the ancient empire.

But at this time, Al-Shabaab faced a huge problem: before they could implement the constitution, they had to find a way to temporarily alleviate the country's poor economic situation, or at least get the government to fund its operation first. And the Turkish tribes that supported them strongly demanded the expulsion of "second-class peoples" such as the Slavs and the seizure of their land and wealth.

Under heavy pressure, the Provisional Government of Al-Shabaab ordered the Slavs living in the Ottoman Empire to leave the empire within a certain period of time, and they also ordered the massacres of Armenians and other non-Slavic and non-Islamic peoples.

The Russians had been waiting for a long time, and less than a week after the decree of the Provisional Government of the Al-Shabaab in Turkey, the Russian army was pouring across the border and toward Istanbul, the city that the Russians preferred to call Constantinople.

On the same day that the Russian army launched its offensive, the British ambassador visited Lin Youde.
