Chapter 2659: Abandoned.

The Americans were busy responding to the war with Japan, and the Germans were busy selling arms everywhere while restoring the overseas market in front of the station. The two big powers have engaged in rounds of confrontation and compromise for each other's interests. Everyone fights with each other, fighting without breaking, and finally obtains a suitable balance.

In the battle between the two most powerful countries in the world, there will definitely be some aftermaths, and these aftermaths will eventually affect the relevant countries. For the two big countries, this so-called aftermath will even cause waves. If you don't get up, ordinary people don't even know, even if they do, they probably won't pay attention. But for some countries, the transition between offensive and defensive powers and between advance and retreat are enough to have a huge impact on them. Some policies and ideas will be broken inadvertently, and some of the turbulence caused by this may not be temporarily. It will be revealed, but for those keen politicians, a series of consequences have already begun to appear.

"Your Marshal, Zemal Pasha has arrived." An attendant said to Turkish Marshal Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. The latter is standing on his balcony, overlooking the Turkish Palace not far away.

"How did Zemal come to me today? What a rare visitor." Kemal said somewhat self-deprecatingly. To be honest, after the war, Kemal's life was not comfortable, although during the war, Kemal Moore can be said to be the first member of the Turkish army, but after the war, his enlightened political views and his opposition to the use of troops on the Arabian Peninsula gradually moved him away from the political center.

Although he is still respected now, his actual power is very small. But even so, Kemal still has a huge influence on many things. This is one of the reasons why Zemal Pasha came back. You know, in the Turkish government, Pasha is second only to Sudan, and the whole There are only three Pashas in the Turkish Empire! They are Enver Pasha, Letapasa, and Zemal Pasha who is visiting today.

"I don't know why Pasha is here today." After a brief greeting, Kemal cut to the topic.

"A very bad news. The Americans decided to terminate the oil exploration program in the Mesopotamia. They began to evacuate people, and the subsequent funding has stopped." Zemal Pasha said with some concern.

"This is really bad news." Kemal frowned. Turkey’s economy is now very bad. Turkish industry is very backward and needs to import a large amount of industrial products. As for agriculture, agricultural products produced in the Fertile Crescent can be exported to Germany and Austria, but now, as Germany and Austria will follow the Ukraine And Belarus, Turkey’s grain exports began to fall sharply.

Therefore, the fastest way to get money for Turkey is the oil industry, which sells oil mining licenses to obtain financial support, and then exports oil in exchange for foreign exchange. In the past, the oil exports of the Mesopotamia were controlled by Bavaria, but for Turkey, this kind of monopoly of Turkish oil exports is naturally very bad. Therefore, some high-level leaders in Turkey are willing to let Americans join this competition. Zemal Pasha is the biggest supporter of the government, and Kemal is the secret supporter and the think tank of the whole plan! Don’t underestimate Kemal’s role. In addition to making suggestions, Kemal once wrote to his former subordinates, who are now stationed in Mesopotamia, the commander of the Turkish Military Region, asking them to help the Americans clear all obstacles. That’s why The reason why the mining activities started by the Americans went well!

From Kemal’s point of view, he himself did not hate the Germans. To be honest, it was precisely because Turkey was on the side of the Germans in this war that Turkey was able to restore part of the territory previously lost in the Balkans and was able to fundamentally It destroyed the terrible empire that had fought with Turkey for hundreds of years. After the war, Turkey made a profit. In his view, all that is left is to digest the fruits of victory in the war and deal with domestic problems. Therefore, he supports the Germans' demand that Turkey no longer seek expansion.

However, all this does not hinder Kemal's determination to seek diversification in Turkey's energy exports! There is no other reason, everything is for the country! Kemal has already felt the shackles of German monopoly capital on the development of Turkey, so he wants to gradually untie this restriction.

But now, gradual economic diversification is only the first step, and the second step is political diversification. What do you say? There are no eternal friends in this world, only eternal interests. The alliance with Germany was for profit, after all, at that time Turkey had to face the threat of Russia first. But now? When the threat disappears, it is of little significance to maintain a military alliance with Germany, and Turkey, as a country that spans three continents, Asia, Africa and Europe, is still very ambitious! And this ambition must have some contradictions with the current German and Austrian. In order to ensure the interests of Turkey, Kemal still hopes to play a balanced route. The so-called distant and close attack means this, although it is definitely not possible to fight with German and Austria. But also need to communicate with the United States!

So ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Based on the above judgment, Kemal is supportive of American power entering Turkey. And the most important thing is oil extraction! But it is a pity that Zemal Pasha came over to tell him today that this matter has turned into a shame! Can Kemal not be surprised?

"What's the matter?" Kemal asked.

"Some political reasons, in simple terms, are that the Germans are opposed to the Americans entering the Mesopotamia to extract oil. Recently, the Americans have some problems in the Pacific War. In the end, the United States and Germany decided to compromise on this issue. In exchange for the support of the German Navy at the cost of withdrawing from the Mesopotamia, according to our news, the German Navy guaranteed to sell at least four fast battleships to the Americans." Zemal Pasha briefly described the whole story.

"Unexpectedly, it makes sense." Kemal sighed after listening. "However, I really can't think that the Americans would abandon us so cleanly. How long has the Secretary of State Lansing been in Germany? The Americans gave up the work that has been working for a year, and the annual mining volume is expected to reach 1.5 million tons. It's an oil field? We are really nothing in the eyes of Americans." Kemal's words are emotionally complicated. There is anger, depression, and a strong feeling of being insulted.
