Tsarist Empire: Please call me His Majesty the Tsar

Ottoman Empire, Istanbul, Royal Palace.

The current ruler of the Ottoman Empire, the Sultan, Caliph Abdelhamid II, was like an ant on a hot pot, his face full of anger.

Every morning, he was able to receive bad news from the front, which also made his temper more and more irritable.

Abdelhamid II was also a capable monarch. Otherwise, he would not be able to control the entire Ottoman Empire. It will be reduced to a puppet, like other sultans.

"Your Majesty, the cavalry units of the Russians, are rapidly advancing towards Istanbul. At present, it is less than fifty kilometers from here. For your safety, you must immediately evacuate Istanbul to the south of the Bosphorus. "The Imperial Prime Minister looked worried." Seven Eight Seven"

"Nope! I'm not going anywhere. Istanbul is the capital of the empire and I will never leave here! Abdelhamid II said through gritted teeth.

At one time, the city was called Constantinople and was the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire.

After the Ottomans conquered it and destroyed the Eastern Roman Empire, it served as the capital of the Ottoman Empire and witnessed the peak and decline of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Once the city falls, you don't have to think about how big a blow it will be for the entire Ottoman Empire. Even his rule will be greatly affected.

Therefore, Abdelhamid II is absolutely unwilling to leave here.

"Your Majesty, all our troops have been sent to the battlefield. However, the Russians are too strong. We have already lost a lot of troops on the battlefield. At the moment, we simply do not have the strength to stop the Russians. We had to retreat to the south of the Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmara and the Bosphorus, and use the straits as a natural danger to withstand the Russian attack. Otherwise, there is no way! Foreign Minister Fatih Pasha suggested.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we are mobilizing more troops, we have not been completely defeated by the Russians, and we still have the strength to continue fighting the Russians. However, we need time! War Minister General Ilhan also said.

Abdulhamid II had red eyes: "Do you mean that we are going to give up all of Rumilia, the entire territory of the empire in Europe?" If we give up these territories now, then we want to retake these territories, I am afraid it will no longer be possible! "

The high-ranking officials of the Ottoman Empire were silent, and they naturally knew this very well.

Once the Russian Empire occupied Rumilia, with the current strength of the Russian Empire and the gap between the two countries, it was simply impossible for the Ottoman Empire to retake Rumilia.

But even then, they don't want to stay in Istanbul anymore.

If the Russians call, they will be dead!

"Your Majesty, let's leave Istanbul first. We can also ask for help from the sun never sets and the Germanic people. Before the sun sets, they promise to support us. Germanic people and we also have very good relations. If they are willing to help us and put pressure on the Russians, we still have a good chance of taking Rumilia back! Fatih Pasha said.

Abdulhamid II could not help but frown, is this to pin his hopes on the sunset and Germans?

But is it possible that they have already lost something on the battlefield and want to get it back at the negotiating table?

Perhaps, the Sun Never Set Empire and the Germanic Empire, in consideration of containing the Russian Empire, will be on their side.

However, if war were to break out with the Russian Empire, the Germans would probably not do it. How could they agree to involve their two countries in the war for the benefit of the Ottoman Empire and let the soldiers of both countries die?

Anyway, Abdelhamid II has no hope for this.

But he had to admit that the Ottoman Empire, which had been cornered, seemed to have no other choice.

"Your Majesty, you can't hesitate any longer, we don't have time!" General Ilhan said.

Just then, a general rushed in. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

"Your Majesty, the Russians broke through our defense line and quickly approached Istanbul 0. It is less than thirty kilometers from Istanbul. With the advance speed of their cavalry, in two hours at most, they could hit Istanbul. The general looked horrified.

A trace of worry and panic also flashed in the eyes of Abdulhamid II, and he did not seem to expect that the situation would deteriorate so quickly.

"Your Majesty, let's go right away. If it is too late, it will be too late. Once we all fall into the hands of the Russians, the Ottoman Empire will be completely finished! The Imperial Prime Minister said.

Abdelhamid II hesitated, but finally nodded.

Subsequently, Abdelhamid II, along with a group of high-ranking Ottoman officials, all evacuated Istanbul and fled south of the Bosphorus.

The whole of Istanbul, a large number of residents, is also frantically fleeing.

The Bosphorus is almost full of ships, large and small.

The Ottoman Empire had already lost a lot in this battle.

Not only did they lose a large number of troops, but even the whole of Rumilia, and even their capital, would be occupied by the Russian Empire.

At the same time, the offensive of the 4th Army of the Russian Imperial Army in the Caucasus was also very smooth. The 2nd Army of the Ottoman Army had been defeated, and General Mehmed led the remnants of the army to retreat to Van, and 4.5 large areas of territory fell into the hands of the Russian Imperial Army.

It can be said that the Russian Empire has won a brilliant victory in this battle.

The Ottoman Army had already lost hundreds of thousands of troops on the battlefield. The remaining armies are also fleeing in embarrassment.

The Russian Imperial Army pursued them relentlessly.

The entire Ottoman Empire has been driven to a corner. If the Russian Empire continued to attack in this way, it was impossible for the Ottoman Empire to collapse.

As a last resort, the Ottoman Empire could only put down its dignity and ask the Sun Never Sets Empire and the Germanic Empire for help, begging them to stop the Tsarist Empire from attacking and to pull them along at such a critical moment.

Otherwise, the Ottoman Empire may really be finished this time.
