Chapter 2661: Old friend one
"Long time no see, my old friend, after the war, I seem to have lost the greatest pleasure in life. Now, being able to recount the past with my comrades who fought side by side has become my little pleasure." A few days later, the German representative The delegation visited Constantinople as scheduled. General von Seckert also took the time to come to Kemal’s residence as a friend he made during the war. General von Seckert still hopes to be with his old friends. For this reason, he even turned down Verpasha's invitation.
"Long time no see. After the war, Your Excellency is still in high spirits, but I can only care for the elderly at home. I am still very young. I should use my experience and abilities in a wider world." Kemal said in Ruo. Pointed.
"Of course, as the best commander in Turkey and a mature politician, you really should have a broader world. In fact, many colleagues who fought in Turkey at that time believed that if the war is over, you can Become the fourth Pasha." General von Seckert made no secret of his praise of Kemal.
As for General von Seckert’s answer, Kemal was really surprised, because in the conversation just now, Kemal had implicitly expressed his intention to make a comeback, but von Seckert was unexpected. No objection! Want to say that the German general couldn't understand what he meant? That is absolutely impossible! You know, von Seckert's family is not an ordinary German nobleman, and it is definitely worthy of the family history! Moreover, if the Prussian and Bavarian systems are mixed at the same time, if the political skills are not flexible, I don't know where they are distributed now!
To be honest, what von Seckert said was a bit overstepped. He was just a general, and with the little Mochi as the chief of staff of the Empire, as a general even when meeting his friends, It is inappropriate to express this view on the political arena of other countries. To Xiaoli, this was a slip of the tongue, and to Dali, does General von Seckert also have his own purpose? Kemal is not sure, he needs to test each other again. To be honest, he really didn't want to play a political battle with his friends, because it would make the friendship between each other taste bad. However, when people are in the arena, sometimes they cannot help themselves!
"Well, don't talk about me, talk about you, where are you now?" Kemal asked.
"I'm in Bavaria. If I were in my hometown, I'm afraid the best result would be to waste my life in an office of the Prussian Federal Army. Instead of that, I might as well go elsewhere and find something more challenging. Sex work." General von Seckert said frankly.
"So, this time you are the military representative of the Kingdom of Bavaria?" Kemal was a little surprised.
"That's right. General Heilingen represents the Imperial General Staff and the Kingdom of Prussia, and I represent Bavaria." Von Seckert said.
"If you are willing to go to Germany one day, then please visit Bavaria. I will welcome you in my new home and taste the real Munich beer and Bavarian white sausage. You can even visit Schwanberg "General von Seckert said meaningfully.
"Swan Castle?" Kemal is now finally sure that the other party is going to tell him something extraordinary. The reason is simple. The castle is a property of the Bavarian royal family. How can ordinary people go if they say they can go? And General von Seckert now said these words, only possibly obtained high-level advice, otherwise, who would dare to make fun of the Bavarian royal family? Don't want to mix up? !
"It seems that it is impossible for us to simply talk about friendship today." Kemal said.
"A person can have many roles. We can be friends or partners. It depends on your choice." Von Seckert said directly.
"Well, come to my study, don't need any entourage, let's have a good chat." Kemal really put everything down at this moment, and said to an old friend.
"The war is over, we won the long-lost victory, regained the territory, and recast the prestige of the Ottoman Empire on earth. That's good, now, are Turkey and the German Empire still allies? Is your country's attitude towards us still Will it be like before the war?" Kemal asked.
"Of course we are allies." Von Seckert said.
"So how do you define an ally? I think that an ally should stand on an almost equal position and cooperate for common interests. But now? I feel that it is more about controlling the large amount of industrial products and capital in Germany. Turkey is firmly locked like an invisible chain. We want to develop and want more autonomy, but you are not relaxed at all." Kemal said.
"Are you pressing us to make the Americans withdraw from the Mesopotamia and worry about it?" General von Seckert said with a sigh. After all, what should come will come. This is a question that he and Kemal, or some people in Turkey, could not avoid before. Whether the results of today’s talks are satisfactory is directly related to the future relations between Germany and Turkey. To be honest, not only Kemal, but even the conservatives have many people who support the United States to enter the Turkish oil market. In doing so, Germany has actually caused public outrage in Turkey.
"Since you mentioned this question, that's good, I also have a question to ask. Is your country and the Americans cooperating for pure economic benefit or are you prepared to have another choice in politics and diplomacy?" Curt asked rhetorically.
"Of course it is a purely economic issue~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Kemal frowned and said. It is impossible to say that Turkey has no political considerations. But he will never say it directly. After all, a discerning person We all know that the contradictions between virtues have gradually surfaced.
"Is it a pure economic problem?" General von Seckert said, touching his chin.
"Of course, we have also received some funds and military support from the United States. You know, we are now launching military operations in the Arabian Peninsula, and your country does not support it." Kemal said.
"So what is your attitude toward your country's use of troops in the Arabian Peninsula?" Von Seckert asked.
"Well, what we are discussing now is between countries, right? Asking my personal attitude is not so good, right?" Kemal said.
"Your Excellency can represent the attitude of the Sultan?" Von Sekt asked.
"Of course I can't represent your majesty's attitude." Kemal laughed at himself.
