The battle has reached this point, and the Ottoman Empire has undoubtedly lost a lot in this battle.
Not only the entire part of Europe was lost, but even the Caucasus was lost cleanly.
More importantly, hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated or captured by the Russian Empire, so that the Ottoman Empire now had little strength to resist the attack of the Russian Empire.
If the Russian Empire continued to attack, the Ottoman Empire would suffer heavier losses and pay a greater price. If you don't get it right, you will be destroyed.
Under such circumstances, the Ottoman Empire naturally did not want to fight any longer. If you continue to fight, you will really be destroyed.
However, even at this time, the Ottoman Sultan Abdelhamid II hoped to protect the interests of the Ottoman Empire to the greatest extent.
For more than two hundred years, the Ottoman Empire has suffered greatly weakened. If they are weakened again, then I am afraid that they will become a third-rate small country.
The Ottoman foreign minister, Fatih Pasha, proposed to ask the Empire for help, precisely because of this consideration.
On the one hand, this war was encouraged by the Sun Never Set Empire behind their backs. Now, the Ottoman Empire has lost the war and paid a huge price, and the Empire cannot but pull them, right? On the other hand, the Sun Never Set Empire has been encircling and blocking the Tsarist Empire to prevent the Tsarist Empire from gaining access to the sea, which is no secret in the world. Once the Russian Empire captured Rumelia, wouldn't the Russian Empire have achieved this goal? The siege of the Russian Empire by the Sun Never Sets Empire naturally ended in failure. This is undoubtedly absolutely unacceptable for the Sun Never Sets Empire. Therefore, the Sun Never Sets Empire will definitely do its best to stop the Russian Empire and keep the Ottoman Empire.
The Sun Never Sets Empire is also very annoyed by the current situation in the Balkans.
They encouraged the Ottoman Empire to join the war against the Russian Empire in the hope that Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire would join forces to defeat the Russian Empire. Even if it is impossible to defeat the Russian Empire, it is necessary to strive to inflict heavy damage on the Russian Empire. Or rather, make the Russian Empire pay a huge price in this war.
But what the sun never expected was that the Russian Empire won cleanly even with one enemy and two. Not only did it deal a heavy blow to Austria-Hungary, but Austria-Hungary had to withdraw from the war. Moreover, it was with the support of the Germanic Empire that the withdrawal from the war ended at a small cost. The Ottoman Empire, on the other hand, was on the verge of collapse.
Such a result is naturally not what the Sun Never Sets Empire wants to see.
In particular, the Russian Imperial Army swept through the Balkans and occupied all of Rumilia. This is absolutely unacceptable for the Sun Never Sets Empire.
Once the Russian Empire annexed Rumilia. Then, the Black Sea Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy would be able to enter the Mediterranean directly through the straits. Even the Imperial Russian Navy could have established a naval base on the Mediterranean coast and deployed its navy to the Mediterranean. In this way, it is undoubtedly a huge threat to the Sun Never Sets Empire.
You know, the Mediterranean Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Empire is a powerful navy second only to the Home Fleet.
The reason why they strengthened the Mediterranean fleet was to control the Mediterranean.
The powerful Royal Navy of the Empire that never sets has suppressed the countries around the Mediterranean.
If the Russian Imperial Navy joined, it would further complicate the situation in the Mediterranean.
Therefore, the Sun Never Sets Empire naturally has to do its best to avoid such a situation.
After the Ottoman Empire asked the Sun Never Set Empire for help, the Sun Never Set Empire reacted immediately. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )
The Sun Never Sets Empire, the foggy capital, the Prime Minister's Office on Downing Street.
Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary Robert Cecil summoned a group of cabinet ministers to discuss countermeasures.
"Gentlemen, the Ottoman Empire has officially appealed to us for help through diplomatic channels. They hoped to mediate the war and prevent the Russian Empire from continuing its offensive. If the war continues, they will collapse or even be destroyed. Robert Cecil said.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the strong combat effectiveness shown by the army of the Russian Empire in this war is indeed worthy of our vigilance and attention." The Minister of War, Marquis of Lansdoorn, had a serious expression.
At least, from the current point of view, the Imperial Army is definitely not a rival to the Tsarist Imperial Army.
"yes! Originally, we thought that we could make the Russians pay a terrible price and bleed them fiercely. Unexpectedly, they won easily. The chancellor of the exchequer, Sir Michael Beach, was also unwilling.
"'This war, it's too sudden. Neither Austria-Hungary nor the Ottoman Empire was actually prepared. If they had been prepared, the Russians would probably not have won so easily. Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamberlain said.
"Well, gentlemen, what we are going to discuss now is how we can help the Ottoman Empire and minimize their losses. This is very important for the imperial plan to encircle the Russian Empire! Robert Cecil said.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the Russians have now occupied Rumelia. They received direct access to coastal ports in the Mediterranean. Our blockade of the Russians is about to fail. The Royal Navy must be prepared for how much of a threat it will pose to us once the Russian navy enters the Mediterranean! Sir Frederick Richards, Minister of the Navy, had a serious expression.
"Indeed, Your Excellency Prime Minister. We must prevent the Russians from occupying Rumelia, or at least avoid the Russians gaining access to the coastal ports of the Mediterranean. Lord George Hamilton, Minister of State for Tianzhu Affairs, also said.
"How is that possible? How could the Russians abandon the coastline of Rumilia at this time? Didn't they go to those coastlines when they expanded into the Balkans? Unless we start a war against the Russians. And beat them. Otherwise, the Russians would never have given up! The Minister of War, Marquis of Lansdoorn, shook his head repeatedly.
Prime Minister Robert Cecil's brows couldn't help but furrow tightly.
Obviously, he also understands it very well. This time the plan against the Russian Empire probably ended in failure. The Sun Never Sets Empire lost in this struggle with the Tsarist Empire.
