Struggle in Russia

Vol 2 Chapter 15: Constanta

The Turkish people and Turkish bureaucracy are indeed two very different creatures, as Li Xiao said. As Europe's most backward, most corrupt, and rotten existence, the Ottoman Turkish Empire is no longer as strong as it was in the 15th century, and is now more like a political zombie.

The bureaucracy in this country is even more terrifying than Russia. They have always knelt to the outside and have always been harsh on the inside. Anyway, foreigners who came to Turkey this year are really more uncle than uncle.

Because from the Sudan to the ordinary clerks, all of them were beaten by the European powers, for fear that if they were inattentive, they would neglect the foreign grandfather to attract a new round of beatings. In a word, the bureaucrats in this country are almost all advocating goods, so there is no need to be afraid.

The people in Turkey are much more **** and hate foreign powers, especially in the last half century, when the powers repeatedly violated Turkey under the name of protecting faith and protecting Christians, and Turkey dismembered a little bit, The country, especially those who are pure believers, is resentful.

They really want to protect their country and their country, and they really want to restore the glory of their ancestors, but unfortunately, even if they are a group of wolves, they are led only by sheep.

Of course, in the hinterland of Turkey, in Constanta, this is another case. Constanta later belonged to Romania, but now also belongs to Ottoman Turkey. But there are actually mixed ethnic groups here, Turks, Romanians, Bulgarians, Serbs, Greeks gathered together. The social environment is really complicated.

Why do you say that? Because most of the above, except the Turks, believe in Orthodox Church, but their interests are not completely consistent. For example, the Romanians who were liberated by the Russians today do not like the Russians very much. Both Wallachia and Moldavia had revolutions that drove the Russians' agents away.

Now, in order to defend against possible Russian interference, Romanians are flirting with British and French powers in an attempt to obtain protection. On the other hand, it even established relations with the sovereign state of Turkey, hoping that the Turks would speak for them, morally refused Russia to interfere again in the affairs of Wallachia and Moldavia, and then created conditions for the next step to strive for complete independence.

Therefore, Romanians and Turks are quite close at this time, at least pretending that the two parties are very close, but in fact Turkey is just a Romanian guise, which means that it sells dog meat.

Bulgarians and Serbs are not the same as Romanians. Their two hometowns are still under the direct control of Ottoman Turkey. The first thing they want now is autonomy. They are very envious of Romanians to get rid of Turkish control, hoping that it is their turn next time.

Therefore, the Serbs and Bulgarians think that the Russians are still very cute. Everyone is Slavs and they have the same beliefs. They also have a common enemy, Turkey. Naturally, I hope that the Russians will quickly send troops to continue to savage the Turks and hurry them "liberation".

So these two are pro-Russian in the big environment, but this kind of intimacy is limited. They will not really follow the baton of Russia, at most it is just waving flags.

The last wave was Greeks, and their feelings for Russia were even more complicated. Without Russia and Nicholas I, Greek independence would not have been possible. The original Greek independence movement was almost propped up and instigated by Russia. At one time, the two sides felt very good. Even the Russian foreign minister was a Greek aristocracy in exile in St. Petersburg.

However, the honeymoon period of both sides changed greatly after being forced in from the UK to exert influence. At first, the British were not interested in supporting Greek independence, but as Russia strongly supported Greece, the British were worried that the Russians would continue to expand their influence in the Balkans, and they would love to intervene between Greece and Russia. Grab the Greek love over.

After the success of Greece's independence, the British helped the Greek king and the new government with one hand, creating unprecedented influence. Russia, the big brother who initially "helped" Greece's independence, had to step aside.

It ’s just that the Greeks are still very grateful for Russia ’s help, so it ’s still common to have a good opinion of Russia. However, this is more a civil act. The relationship between the Greek government and Russia is quite average. It's all possible.

This also makes the Greeks operating in Turkey very complicated in their feelings towards Russia. They have good feelings but hinder the government's attitude and are not good at expressing them directly.

"That said, our main enemies here are the Turks and Romanians?" Asked Vishniak.

"It's a bit general," Li Xiao replied. "Strictly yes, but the Turkish authorities haven't turned their backs on us yet. Those who don't like us are folk Turkish people. Those bureaucrats just kneel and don't worry. As for Romanians, In Constanta they can't make any waves, the Turks actually guarded them more severely than we did! "

Vishniak asked in surprise: "Why? Aren't they aligned?"

Li Xiao smirked around his shoulder and said, "Who told you that their interests are the same?"

"I didn't tell you just now, the fundamental purpose of the Romanians is to get rid of both our country's control and Turkey's control ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ To wink at the Turks at the moment and ask the Turks to exercise sovereignty is just to stop our mouths That's it. Their fundamental purpose is still independence! "

"So, although the Turkish bureaucrats advised that although it was corrupt, it was not stupid. How could they really help Romanians deal with us. They wouldn't be so embarrassed by the Romanian fire that they faced the anger of our country!"

"In fact, for the Turkish bureaucrats, they hate Romanians even more. They think that these miscellaneous people have brought our country to independence before, but now they are upset with our country and want Turkey to help pay the bills. They are basically wolves and leopards. They are simply taking them. Be Kaizi. "

"So Turkish officials actually hate these Romanians, so they don't care about their lives!"

Vishniak was amazed. He didn't expect that there were so many articles here. In this way, their activities in Constanta are really not too dangerous. Even if the Turks find it, they may open it. With one eye closed and one pretended not to see.

"But not too much!" Li Xiao warned, "There are still many people hostile to us in Turkey, and there are many spies in Britain, France, and Austria. These guys are quite dangerous!"
