Istanbul, the Ottoman capital, has always been known as the crossroads of Europe and Asia. Such excellent conditions have always attracted many peepers in the city. From the ancient tribal mountain people to the modern powers, everyone tried to control this city.
As for modern times, the city is under the control of the Ottoman Empire. Even though it is about to become a border city, the Ottomans are still reluctant to part with the unique and superior conditions here.
But now there is an undercurrent emerging in Istanbul. The reason is that the Ottoman people were outraged by the defeated treaty.
On the streets, people have been discussing the treaty to cede land and pay compensation.
"Do you know?"
"what do you know?"
"The empire lost the war and I heard that it cut off most of the territory in Europe and Africa."
"How could this happen? How could the empire lose so much?"
"No one expected that we would lose money when we heard that there were still 200,000 imperial troops surrounded by enemies in Macedonia."
Words like this are being circulated everywhere in Istanbul. Thanks to the outstanding Ottoman bureaucracy, the contents of the peace talks were quickly spread. Such words are considered good, but the rumors are getting more and more outrageous, saying that even Istanbul cannot be saved.
Such content about the defeat that was spread everywhere was naturally spread to the military camp.
The Zaitin Bunur military camp located southwest of Istanbul is the largest military camp in the capital. There are only more than 30,000 Ottoman troops stationed here on weekdays. However, due to the outbreak of the war, in order to strengthen the defense of the capital, nearly 50,000 officers and soldiers are currently stationed in the military camp.
Naturally, the officers and soldiers in the military camp had also learned about the conditions for ceding territory and paying compensation after defeat.
Such humiliating defeat conditions made the young Ottoman officers extremely dissatisfied, and this dissatisfaction surged in the military camp.
On this day, a large number of officers were crowded in a warehouse of the 29th Division Independent Engineer Battalion located in the northwest corner of the military camp. These wearers were officers at the lieutenant level or even at the school level, crowded in the warehouse, listening to the speech of a young man on the stage.
"Like-minded friends, if you are here, it means you are a person who truly loves this country, and I am also one of them. Are you willing to see the land cessation and compensation for the empire's defeat this time?"
"I don't want to!"
The deafening sound seemed to overturn the huge warehouse.
"Since no one is willing, how can we accept the cause created by Suleiman the Magnificent? We are oppressed again and again by European bandits. Like-minded friends? We must not let the Ottoman Empire sink like this. We need to change, We need to strengthen ourselves? We need to show the Europeans that we are not sick men. We absolutely cannot accept such humiliating conditions and would rather shed the last drop of blood than lose a piece of Ottoman territory."
"We will never allow a piece of territory to be lost, even if our blood is shed dry!"
The atmosphere at the scene reached a climax. Everyone was roaring. They wanted to vent their dissatisfaction.

The current situation in the Ottoman Empire is more serious than that in the Far East, and the national ideas coming from Europe have attracted many young people who are interested in changing the country.
