Bulgarian Empire

One wave of ups and downs and another wave of ups and downs!

Just as Bulgaria was preparing for war, the Ottoman Empire made another big news-the Armenians rebelled!

Of course, it is not a matter of a day or two for the Armenians to rebel, but this time it is different, their uprising succeeded!

This is Ferdinand's fault. In order to cause trouble for the Ottoman Empire, he even allocated funds to set up a special operations command a year ago.

A rising star in the intelligence service, Morka Valdo, is responsible for leading the intelligence work of the Ottoman Empire. There is only one task, which is to cause trouble for the Sudanese government!

Whether it's provoking internal strife in the government, or supporting the revolutionary party, or creating ethnic conflicts, or religious conflicts, it's all right! Even if it's spreading rumors, it's fine to make something out of nothing.

Unexpectedly, Morka Valdo, who had just taken office, did not live up to Ferdinand's expectations and made a big news.

Beginning in 1893, in order to ease the domestic economic crisis, the Sudanese government intensified its oppression of ethnic minorities. Ethnic conflicts intensified. Among them, the Armenians danced the most happily and began to fight for independence.

In 1894, in order to suppress the Armenian independence movement, a bloody massacre was launched. But this time and space, due to Ferdinand's intervention, has become different.

Bulgaria's steady stream of arms was sent to the Armenians. Faced with the brutal suppression by the Sudanese government, the Armenians took up arms and rose up to resist. A premeditated massacre turned into a civil war!

Of course, civilians can't compete with the regular army. Even if the Armenians rose up to resist, they only got the Sudanese government's intensified suppression.

Historically, it was not until June 1896 that Armenians launched a large-scale uprising in Constantinople. This time and space was advanced to February 1896, and the scale was much larger. The uprising also won the support of Greeks, Jews and other ethnic minorities!

Back in time, on January 24, 1896, the Armenian Dilange owed a usury loan to the Turkish noble Gozd, and was unable to repay it under the compound interest.

But Master Gozd, who is not easy to provoke, took people to collect debts in anger, and wanted to take away Dilange's daughter to pay off the debts, and a conflict occurred between the two sides.

Gozd's men beat Dilange half to death, took his daughter away, and set fire to their house before leaving to vent their anger.

The problem lies in this fire. DiGran lives in a slum, which is a gathering place for Armenians. It is said that the houses are actually shacks with piles of firewood, which are extremely flammable.

If it's normal, it's fine, the surrounding residents will come to put out the fire, and it can be extinguished soon, at most it will burn down a few unlucky nearby houses.

But this time there was an exception. The Bulgarian intelligence officer who successfully infiltrated the Armenian resistance organization-Victor Keith Georgiev was on the scene.

He knew that the behavior of the Turkish noble Gozd had angered the Armenians, but after a long period of oppression, these ordinary people had become numb like walking dead and dared not stand up to resist.

So he made a decisive decision, seized the opportunity, and shot Gozd who was about to leave, hitting the chest, and then left quickly. When the incident broke out, the nobleman was shot, and the ordinary people ran away immediately, who cares about putting out the fire!

Once implicated, the Ottoman government doesn't care so much, they will all lose their heads! Not to mention Gozde's men, who has the energy to put out the fire?

Then, the fire burned bigger and bigger, and quickly spread to the surroundings. These days, there are no professional fire brigades. By the time the government personnel rushed over, the fire had already spread.

Fortunately, most of the buildings in Constantinople were made of stone. After burning down the slums, they stopped. If it is placed in Japan, where wooden buildings are the mainstay, a city may be over!

Even so,

The fire still caused dozens of deaths, hundreds of injuries, and tens of thousands of people were left homeless! In addition to Armenians, this also includes some Greeks, Bulgarians, Jews and other ethnic minorities.

Victor Keith Georgiev, who had already sneaked into the Armenian army, immediately reported the atrocities of the Turks to the resistance organization, and when he got the news, the angry Armenian revolutionaries immediately organized demonstrations!

Ask the Sudanese government to punish the murderer and compensate the people for their losses! Obviously, the reasonable demands of the Armenians were not accepted, but were suppressed by the military and police instead.

Under the pressure of survival, these tens of thousands of people were united by Victor Kiss in the name of the resistance organization. After receiving the news, Morka made a decisive decision and provided him with support.

Two thousand rifles and more than 100,000 rounds of ammunition were sent to the Armenian resistance organization. Instigated by Victor Kiss, everyone unanimously decided to revolt!

Of course, it’s impossible not to rebel. The belongings of these tens of thousands of refugees were burned by the fire. What to eat next is a problem!

A vigorous uprising broke out. Because of Victor Keith's good performance, the key is to get weapons, so he became one of the leaders of the rebel army logically!

Compared with others, Victor Kiss has received professional training anyway, and has also participated in the Serbian uprising, so he has rich experience in rebellion.

Relying on his rich experience, he took the lead in conquering the police station, robbing the arsenal, and quickly expanded the team. Whether it was Armenians, Greeks, Bulgarians, or Jews, they all accepted and included them all. up.

Then, with a snowballing opponent, they continued to ravage Constantinople. After capturing the Ottoman Bank building, they moved all the vaults and blew up the building.

Anyway, his mission is just to sabotage. As for the historical Armenians occupying the bank building and negotiating with the Ottoman Empire, naturally it does not exist.

How come Constantinople is also one of the capitals of the Ottoman Empire, and there are still a lot of garrisons. Victor Kiss knows very well that this mob of rebels cannot defeat the regular army!

After the rebel army captured the government building, it was already the eighth day of the outbreak of the uprising, and the Ottoman Empire reacted no matter how slow it was.

After burning the materials, Victor Kiss decisively handed over the building to the interim government established by the resistance organization. He was actually preparing to run away under the pretext of arranging street fighting.

As for the composition of the army, I'm sorry that these are not issues that Victor Kiss considered. In order to expand the revolutionary team, these are all small points.

So the Turks in Constantinople came to the big mold, and there is no doubt that the vote of honor was undoubtedly the best head of the Turkish nobleman. His move was quickly imitated by the rebels!

Have revenge and revenge, complain and complain!

The whole of Constantinople has been in chaos, and the provisional government established by the Armenians is simply unable to control the situation. Rape and looting are happening in this city all the time!
