Chapter 344: Turkey Raiders

And this man is General Mohammed Chefket! This person is the only person in the Young Turkish Party who can be recognized by various factions. He has suppressed the Turkish rebellion in 1909 and has held 3 legions! In terms of strength, prestige and ability, it is Germany's best support target, and he also has a nb younger brother, this is the future father of Turkey who served as his staff in the 1909 rebellion-Kemal!

For a country like the Ottoman Empire, the prince only needs to guarantee three things, the first thing! The Ottoman Empire must stand firmly on the German side. If their leader is unwilling, then give Turkey a person who is willing to cooperate with the Germans!

In the history of the Turkish Empire’s joining the Allied Powers, there was actually a lot of accidental elements. Although Turkey hired the German Army Corps to train its troops, the navy was in charge of the British, and the Minister of the Navy, Jemal, one of the political giants, was still a Law-lovers!

If it weren’t for Churchill’s “assist”, it’s so beautiful. Not only did it requisition two Turks’ battleships, suspend a series of construction plans including cruisers, and refused to refund the £4 million ship funding, Turkey really is not necessarily Join the Allies......

Second, the Ottoman Empire must have an army capable of fighting! Whether it is helping Germany to share the pressure or suppressing domestic rebellions, the Turkish army is far from qualified. If Austria and Russia are only behind compared to Britain, France and Germany, then the Turkish army is almost equal to another dimension. So it is necessary for Turkey to have a decent army.

Take a look at the performance of the Turkish army before World War 1 in history. You said that the Italian-Turkish war was directly pushed. This is understandable. Anyway, Italy is also a big power, with a strength of 100,000 to 28,000. Let alone the advantage of firepower, it is not ashamed to lose, but it is too unreasonable to be violently beaten by the Balkan countries, and this has also caused political turmoil in Turkey. War is never just a military issue, but also a political issues.

The victory of a war not only means the preservation of Turkish territory, but also increases the prestige of the government and eases all kinds of domestic conflicts. Whether it is fear or respect for the military, as long as the following national independence is not too much trouble!

Third, have money! Whether it is the stability of a country or the establishment of a strong army, money is needed! The economic base determines the superstructure! It is a pity that now Turkey does not even have a national bank... Some are only foreign banks, of which Britain and France are still the biggest ones! Turkey has the raw materials that Germany needs, the market that Germany needs, and there are vast land waiting to be developed and planted, and it has a population of more than 30 million! But Naihe has no money to develop, or lacks an effective financial system. The Germans have to build this thing for themselves and for Turkey.

And since we are ready to fight, we naturally have to engage in industry! The prince does not ask you to produce battleship tank aircraft. However, some artillery and shells should be built, and the maintenance of submarines and small and medium-sized ships should be better. In history, Turkey has only one place that can be called a military port, and that is Istanbul. And here, it is impossible to maintain a battleship like Goben. After Goben was hit by a mine, he still dealt with it hastily, and waited a year for the maintenance to be completed in Sevastopol...

Historically, when World War I broke out, a Turkish division had only 16 artillery! An army has 3 divisions and military units, and such a huge organization only has 60 to 72 artillery! The artillery of a German division (72 guns) crushed the Turkish army in both quantity and quality! The entire Turkish army is dominated by 75mm artillery. Except for the fortress forces, all field forces have only 36 105mm howitzers and 60 120mm Krupp howitzers. With this little equipment, no wonder the Turkish army coffee table.

Of course, the prerequisite for doing all of this is to quickly change Turkey to a Sudan, and the only partner available at the moment is the Young Turkey Party. This party has many problems, but at least before seizing power, their program is the most progressive. , And there are indeed a group of patriots who are willing to shed their blood for the Ottoman Empire.

The Young Turkish Party in exile in European countries was contacted by the German government. This time it contacted the sympathizers of the Young Turkish Party in Turkey, and the task of selecting supporters was handed over to the prince. According to the prince’s plan, in 1901 Before the year, the Turkish government must change! If nothing else, with the help of Germany, Turkey has at least 12 years of peaceful development period!

The prince has been arranging a trip to Turkey, except for his appearance on the first day of the event and after attending several banquets with senior officers. Four days later, the German squadron visiting Malta Island merged with the squadron from Taranto and sailed west. One day later, the Bavarian Royal Guard and the representative of the German Emperor, Ma General Kenson merged with the fleet.

On the armored cruiser Prince Bismarck, the prince received the veteran general who finally lived to be 96 years old and made great contributions in the first battle! Prussia is responsible for the political and military control of Turkey, Bavaria is responsible for providing equipment, and Deutsche Bank is responsible for Turkey’s capital scheduling. This is what the prince and the emperor finally agreed to~www.wuxiaspot.com~General Shefkaite is a good one He has deep roots in the military, and is a pure patriot who is more politically inclined towards Germany. It also has a high reputation in the civil and youth Turkish party. Of course, the most important thing is that he is a decisive person. As long as we can come up with enough strength to deter them, and can release some kindness, I am at least 70% sure to convince the other party. "

"Then the people from the German General Staff can arrange instructors and various personnel for him to give him power over other military factions in a short period of time. At that time, everything will come naturally. A new government with him at the core will be established, and then Turkey will develop according to our script." Markenson said.

"In addition, I still have one thing I don’t understand. Why did you bring a complete Guards regiment to Turkey? It’s not like that to show your strength! For the entire regiment, the firepower of this regiment can completely overwhelm Turkey. One division and one brigade!" Mackenson thought for a while and said.

"Even if you want to help this partner, these people will leave Turkey after the visit. It doesn't make any sense. The Sultan of Turkey will not allow so many foreign troops to stay in Turkey. What is your meaning? I feel a bit superfluous! "Mackenson said with some confusion.
