Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The three giants of the Ottoman Turkish Empire were Enver.  Pasha, Zemar and Tal.  Pasha.  All three are leaders of the Turkish Youth Party, Enver.  Pasha is the leader!

    After seeing off Zhang Shangyou, the Chinese ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, Enver.  The pasha immediately summoned Zemal.  Bashar and Taller.  The two Pashas discussed when the Ottoman Empire would join the war.

    "Enver, our opportunity has come! Now the most important elite forces of the Russians have gathered in the Siberian Plain to deal with the Chinese! Their defense in the Caucasus is very empty, with less than 200,000 troops.  , if we launch an attack, we can easily defeat them! At that time, we can avenge our shame and regain the territory previously occupied by the Russians, and even gain more!" As the main commander of the Ottoman Turkish Empire's army  , Zemar.  Bashar almost jumped with excitement!  Now the most important countries in the world are involved in the world war, but Turkey still remains neutral, which makes him very regretful!  Now, the war seems to be about to decide the winner. If we join the war at this time, the Ottoman Turkish Empire will also become one of the winners of this war. This will be very helpful in improving the international status of the Ottoman Turkish Empire!

    "Yes, Enver, this is our opportunity, we must not let it go! Now, the Chinese are about to launch an attack on Russia. It only took the Chinese more than a year to destroy the United States. Their combat power is very  The Russians are definitely not able to withstand the Chinese attack! If we join the war at this time, we can get rich rewards! What's more, our other enemy Italy has betrayed the Allies, and we have nothing to do with joining the Allies.  It's hindered!" Taller.  Pasha also said that he was in charge of the foreign affairs of the Ottoman Turkish Empire and his analysis of the international situation was more accurate.  In addition to Russia, the old enemy of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, Italy is also one of the main enemies of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Italy's occupation of North Africa seriously damaged the interests of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and Italy is one of the main countries of the Allied Powers. This is also  The main reason why the Ottoman Turkish Empire, which was on good terms with Germany, did not join the Allies.  Now that Italy has betrayed the Allies and been severely beaten by Germany, Austria-Hungary and China, it will no longer pose any threat to the Ottoman Turkish Empire!  Even after the war was over, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was still able to be the victor and recover its previous losses and face from Italy!  This is a great thing for the Ottoman Turkish Empire!

    Enver.  Pasha nodded. Of course he knew how much benefit it would bring to the Ottoman Empire to join the war now!  However, although the war is not over yet, it is obvious that Germany and China will compete for world hegemony in the future.  The Ottoman Turkish Empire has always been on good terms with Germany. The Chinese are also very powerful in West Asia. Sandwiched between the two big countries, the Ottoman Turkish Empire will be very dangerous!

    "Enver, I know what you are worried about! After the war is over, China and the Germans will definitely have a serious conflict for world hegemony, and even trigger a war again! However, what does this have to do with us? Ottoman Turkey  The empire has lost its former glory. We have now become the sick men of West Asia. We are incapable of participating in the struggle for world hegemony! As long as it is beneficial to us, we can do it, whether it is to fall to Germany or  China!" Thaler.  Bashar said!  Although the Ottoman Turkish Empire's national power is weak, its geographical location is very important. When competing for world hegemony in the future, both Germany and China will definitely win over the Ottoman Turkish Empire.  At that time, the Ottoman Turkish Empire can take the opportunity to develop!  But if they make the wrong choice, they may bury themselves in it!

    "Well! Well, we will consider the future later! Since it is beneficial for us to join the war now, let's join the war! Taller, you inform the Germans that we, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, hope to join the Allies and declare war on the Allies!  Zemar, come with me to see His Majesty the Sultan and ask His Majesty for permission to declare war on the Allies!" Enver.  Pasha said!  At this moment, Sultan Mohammed V of the Ottoman Turkish Empire is just a puppet. For Enver.  Pasha and others even obeyed.  Enver.  The pasha asked Sultan Mohammed V to declare war on the Allies. There was no problem!

    Germany immediately agreed to the Ottoman Turkish Empire¡¯s request to join the Allies!  The Ottoman Turkish Empire has good relations with Germany. After they join the Allies, they will undoubtedly be able to further expand Germany's strength!

    On March 29, 1913, Sultan Muhammad V of the Ottoman Turkish Empire announced in Istanbul that from that day on, the Ottoman Turkish Empire would become an Allied Power.The Allies declare war!  The Ottoman Turkish Empire will attack the Allies!

    The Ottoman Turkish Empire became the third country of the Allied Powers. Not counting Italy, which had betrayed the Allied Powers, millions of Ottoman Turkish Empire troops began to flock to the Caucasus, preparing to launch an attack on Russia from here.  The Ottoman Turkish Empire's navy also cruised the Black Sea, and the driver launched an attack on the Russian Black Sea Fleet.  Although the Ottoman Turkish Empire's navy is weak, the Russian navy is not strong either. The two sides can basically compete in the Black Sea!

    Originally, with Russia¡¯s strength, it was easy to deal with the Ottoman Turkish Empire¡¯s attack.

    However, now that the elite troops of the Russian army have been dispatched to the Siberian Plain, the Caucasus region is even more empty.  Tsar Nicholas II had no choice but to dispatch troops to the Caucasus region to prepare for the Ottoman Empire's attack.  And doing so will undoubtedly make the defenses in other areas even weaker!

    The Ottoman Turkish Empire was just the first country to join the Central Powers and declare war on the Allies.  The other two countries in Southeast Europe are already the targets of China¡¯s lobbying efforts. These two countries are Bulgaria and Romania!

    Bulgaria was originally a province of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. However, in the Tenth Russo-Turkish War in 1878, with the support of Russia, Bulgaria became independent and established the Grand Duchy of Bulgaria. However, the Ottoman Turkish Empire often interfered in Bulgaria's internal affairs.  ! It was not until 198 that Bulgaria fully became an independent kingdom.  Although Russia is Bulgaria's backstage, Russia is already shaky now. If it continues to follow the Russians, not only will it not benefit, but it will also suffer heavy losses!

    After King Ferdinand I of Bulgaria saw the Ottoman Turkish Empire announcing that it would join the Allies, he immediately took the initiative to contact the Allies and expressed Bulgaria's willingness to join the Allies to fight!  Otherwise, once the Allies win the World War, the Ottoman Turkish Empire will definitely attack the Kingdom of Bulgaria!

    Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire both agreed to the Kingdom of Bulgaria¡¯s request!  After all, although the alliance formed by China and the Allies has now gained absolute advantage over the Allies.  But to completely win the war, I'm afraid it will take some time and a heavy price will be paid!  More and more countries are joining the Allied Powers, which also means that the Allied Powers' strength will greatly increase after the war!  In particular, Germany, the leader of the Allied Powers, hopes to rely on the overall strength of the Allied Powers to confront China and compete for world hegemony after the war. Therefore, Germany naturally hopes that the more countries that join the Allied Powers, the better!  Although the Ottoman Turkish Empire was somewhat dissatisfied, when both Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire agreed, they had no choice but to stop insisting!

    On April 1, 1913, King Ferdinand I of the Kingdom of Bulgaria announced that the Kingdom of Bulgaria would join the Central Powers and declare war on the Allies!  The 200,000 troops of the Kingdom of Bulgaria will use the Austro-Hungarian Empire to join the war against Russia!

    The Kingdom of Bulgaria joining the Central Powers was a great stimulus to the Kingdom of Romania.  The Kingdom of Romania continued from the Eastern Roman Empire. In the Middle Ages, this area included three independent principalities: Wallachia, Moldavia, and Transylvania. The first two were autonomous countries in the Ottoman Turkish Empire.  The latter was later incorporated into the Austro-Hungarian Empire.  After the Crimean War, France advocated the union of the two principalities to prevent Russia from moving south.  The Principality of Wallachia and the Principality of Moldavia were united in 1859. After the merger, they were called Romania and were attached to the Ottoman Empire.  And declared independence on May 9, 1877. In 1878, the southern Bessarabia region belonged to Russia. In 1881, Romania was renamed the Kingdom of Romania. In January 1918, Moldova (Bessarabia) declared independence, and in March of the same year  Merged with Romania.  The Kingdom of Romania has a good relationship with Britain and France. After the start of the World War, the Austro-Hungarian Empire suffered heavy losses from Russia in the early stages of the war!  At that time, the Kingdom of Romania had the idea of ??joining the Allies and fighting against the Central Powers!  However, the Austro-Hungarian Empire subsequently defeated the Russian attack with the help of Germany, which forced the Kingdom of Romania to hibernate again and wait for the opportunity!

    However, as the war progressed, the situation became increasingly unfavorable to the Allies.  If the Allies win the war, one can imagine what will happen to the Kingdom of Romania, which has good relations with Britain and France!  Therefore, after the Kingdom of Bulgaria joined the Central Powers, the Kingdom of Romania immediately followed suit, abandoned Britain and France, and announced that it would join the Central Powers!

    Since then, the scale of World War I has once again expanded, affecting almost all European regions except Northern Europe!
