Chapter 346: First sight

All kinds of empty talk and flattery don’t need money anyway, just like the rushing Amazon river, the host gives the guests the highest level of reception, and the respect of the guests makes the weak host flattered. Everything is so beautiful and makes people Seeing that the two countries of Germany and Turkey are getting closer.

"If nothing happens, you will be responsible for the rest of the reception work. It's easy to come to Turkey. I want to take a good look." That night, the prince invited Herbert to let him take charge of the subsequent and Turkey Regarding the government’s engagement work, some of the scripts have already been written for the talks. In the face of a strong Germany and huge interests, Turkey has few options.

"As a soldier, I hope to communicate with the Turkish military, and General Mackensen will accompany me. I need to know the situation of the Turkish military." The prince said.

"As you wish, Your Highness." Herbert said respectfully, and then he withdrew from the house, leaving only the Prince and Mackensen in the whole house.

"The target person has been contacted, but according to insider information, tomorrow's Turkish officers will have the eyes and ears of the Sultan. Some words are not convenient to say." Mackensen whispered.

"It doesn't matter, what I say tomorrow will be upright, there is nothing to blame, wise people can naturally appreciate it. And make the right choice." The prince said indifferently.

"General Chevket is a patriot, and what we do is to make Turkey stronger. We have no conflicts in essence, and he will understand. How to say, compared to Italy, Malta, and the upcoming Vienna, Turkey The journey should be the easiest." The prince said.

"I believe that your trip to Vienna will be the most annoying for you. Your actions have already made His Majesty the Austrian Emperor very dissatisfied?" Mackensen chuckled. Although the prince is in a high position, It's easy to get along when not talking about business.

"Let's do it, it's a good deal." The prince chuckled and said helplessly.

"Confused!" When His Royal Highness reviewed the Turkish Guard of Honor accompanied by Generals Chefket and Mackensen, his first impression of the Turkish soldiers was that even so, the guard of honor that could participate in this review naturally did not look good. Have to say. No matter how poor and poor Turkey is, it will not be impossible to get hundreds of tough soldiers.

They are strong and refreshed, giving people a powerful feeling, but the prince sees the emptiness and confusion in their eyes. They feel more like a machine that obeys orders than a soldier. The prince believes that they can do well. Executing the boss's orders can reward and fight to the death in the future, but they don't know why they will fight!

As an ordinary soldier, it may not be necessary to know these fights, but if an army does not know its mission and purpose, then this army has no real military spirit! A truly powerful army can only exist in a nation-state and must have strong cohesion.

But the prince could not feel the cohesion of the Turkish army in front of him, because their eyes were full of numbness, and some of them were full of blood. It is certain that these people have participated in actual combat, but after repeated killings Makes them a little confused.

In contrast to the Bavarian army he brought, he could feel the sense of honor and mission in this army! These people are carefully selected by their uncles. Many of them have participated in the Blue Legion. They have fought for the kingdom in the Far East. After experiencing the baptism of war, this unit has faintly possessed a hundred battles. What a teacher! They brought victory to the kingdom, and the kingdom did not treat them badly. They gained status, wealth and the respect of the people! They defended the dignity of the empire with their swords!

"This is the gap!" The prince shook his head helplessly. If the Turkish army hundreds of years ago was considered a force with a military spirit under the influence of the Sudan and the influence of religion, then this army in front of him is really true. Can only be described as numbness. There must be someone in the Turkish army who knows about this issue, but they are also at a loss, and officially because of this, the Young Turkish Party, which holds the banner of equality of all citizens and guarantees the territorial integrity of the country, can emerge! Unfortunately, the Turkish army still has not risen...

Compared with the illusory military spirit and fighting will, the gap in equipment is more intuitive, and it can more easily cause shock to the Turkish military. Although it was a regiment, the equipment it brought was far beyond the regiment’s establishment. Even the new 150mm heavy artillery that Bavaria had just made was pulled over. This is a big guy only owned by the first-level unit of the Bavarian division, and the same kind in history. The product difference is that the Bavarian 1899 150mm heavy howitzer emphasizes the range.

The sfh99 type artillery weighs up to 4500kg. The length of the barrel is l15. Because of the use of a larger chamber, the maximum range of 9800 meters, even if compared with the historical German sfh13 type howitzer used in the first battle, it is by no means inferior, but has advantages in range and weight. (Of course, it can't be compared with the French m1917, it is much worse...)

To be honest, this was the first time that General Shefkate saw the army’s 150mm heavy artillery. The stubby barrel, the sturdy barrel, and the cold-glowing artillery immediately attracted the general’s attention. Next to the artillery, the performance of the artillery was marked in German and Turkish.

"It can shoot a 45kg shell out of nearly 10km. This is really an amazing weapon." General Chefket made no secret of his love for this artillery.

"In South Africa, the British referred to this artillery as a heavy hammer. Almost all field bunkers and most of the fortifications were worthless in front of this artillery! The Boers used the predecessor of this artillery, sfh96. The equipment we provide to our Turkish friends is the latest, with lower weight ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ with longer range and longer life of the artillery." Markenson on the side introduced.

"In order to show the sincerity of the German Empire and the Kingdom of Bavaria, we will provide your country with four 150mm heavy guns and related accessories and technical support for free. The first modern heavy artillery company will be established for the Sudanese army." The prince said, four The artillery was sent out.

These artillery pieces are only to satisfy the Turks’ vanity. To say how useful they are, the prince believes that apart from establishing a teaching artillery company to train new artillery talents for Turkey, the practical significance is really limited. Given the current economic strength of the Turks, it is difficult to equip each division with a heavy artillery company. The really practical ones are the little guys behind the heavy artillery!

A good friend of the poor, silk's favorite! Mortars and machine guns! Of course, if you arrive later, you must add rpg. There are many mortars and machine guns that do not need to be equipped. From the current point of view, Turkey has at least 8 more years of relatively peaceful time. The so-called peace means not having to deal with foreign troops, but with a little machine gun and mortar against the country. Enough nationalist separatists.
