Chapter 2403 Türkiye One
"We will talk about this issue later. We will discuss this issue with the Kaiser and the Social Democratic Party. We also need funds to improve this coal, iron and oil supply chain. At that time, everyone will have a chance." Ruprecht said The statement made Prince Albert and Prince Baden breathe a sigh of relief. After all, if at this time, Ruprecht took advantage of the situation and said that the Austro-Hungarian Empire could supply Italy with sufficient coal, iron and oil mines, then Albert, who represents the Kaiser, Did Prince Te and Prince Max, representing Baden, agree? Or against it? I can't express my opinion!
If you agree, then obviously it means that the German Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire put pressure together, and in the end all the benefits were given to Bavaria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. North Germany has no benefit at all. The proposal to control Italian raw materials just now was proposed by Prince Albert. Isn't this slapping yourself in the face?
But fortunately, Crown Prince Ruprecht did not directly express his position, but temporarily referred to this topic. This definitely involves the division of interests in the future. In terms of coal, iron and oil, Bavaria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire have advantages. The crown prince is bound to use these advantages to exchange for copper mines, non-ferrous metals, diamonds and gold in the southern African colonies. Everyone has something to earn. In order to continue, the crown prince is not in a hurry to seize the market.
"Another problem is food! Italy's food is completely self-sufficient, even worse than the German Empire. If possible, I hope we can use Ukraine's food to control the Italian market." Prince Albert said.
"These ideas are very good, but there is a premise that we must exclude the interference of the United States. Simply using the treaty will not give us an advantage. Just imagine, if Italy imports a large amount of our raw materials and industrial products, then Italy itself is at a disadvantage. In the super situation, Italy needs foreign exchange, and they definitely don't want to see this happen." Prince Christian of Saxony said.
"We can exchange currency with Italy, or if necessary, we can directly barter, such as oil, coal and steel. These are official bulk trades," the crown prince said. Bartering or exchanging certain currencies with each other is a method often used in later generations for countries that lack sufficient foreign exchange. This method can only be implemented when Italy cannot guarantee payment. Of course, if currency exchange is adopted, the influence of Mark in Italy will definitely increase greatly.
So, under the planning of a bunch of "second generations" of the German Empire, a plan for Italy after the war finally leaked out. There was an unreasonable sense of panic in his heart, and he threw the documents in his hand on the table in a state of distraught. Since the end of the Norwegian Sea naval battle, the Italian king has tried to restore relations with Germany and Austria, but the two The country's attitude was unclear, and the response seemed lukewarm, which made Vittorio Emanuele III feel very uneasy. Italy did make a lot of money by using its wartime neutrality, but now? What is Deo's attitude towards himself? He is not clear, even a little scared!
"Well, that's it for Italy first, so let's start discussing the next country now. I suggest that we can discuss the Ottoman Turkish Empire." Ruprecht said, Albert first mentioned Italy, the Kaiser's face It has been given, so now, it is natural for Ruprecht to ask the second question.
"Let me first talk about my point of view. The Ottoman Empire is our ally. This time we can quickly solve Russia. We have a very important relationship with Turkey on our side. We have completely blocked the way for Russia to obtain assistance from the West. After the victory of the war, Turkey also obtained territory and compensation.
(The compensation for the Balkan countries is given to Turkey, and part of the funds obtained from Russia are also distributed to Turkey) But I think that Turkey is just a flashback, the interior of Turkey is rotten, and the Turkish Al-Shabaab is just a paper It's just a craftsman, with gold and jade on the outside, and ruins on the inside. said the Crown Prince.
"Your Highness, do you mean that we need to change an ally?" Prince Baden asked. The crown prince’s speech today is completely different from his previous performance. You must know that before the First World War, when all other powerful countries were not optimistic about Turkey, Ruprecht stood firm in the Balkan War and the Italian-Turkish War. He stood on the side of Turkey, but now, the crown prince seems to be going to attack this former ally?
"We need to change the brains of this ally. The newly formed Turkey will still be our indispensable ally. But the leadership of this country cannot be the secular sultan of Turkey and his bureaucrats. We need a more European, advanced A separate, secular Turkish government to manage this still vast empire. In a way, we need Turkey to be reborn!" said the crown prince.
"Have we found a good agent? Also, is Turkey still the current Turkey? Will the new Turkey fall apart?" Prince Albert asked. In fact, if this operation is really to be done, then there are many other important issues to be resolved, for example, when to launch? How to eliminate the influence of big powers such as the United States? When Turkey collapses, does the empire want a piece of the action?
"I personally value Kemal," the crown prince said.
"Kemal? His ability is enough. I read the battle reports in Asia Minor. His command ability is good, and he is well-received by everyone. His wrist is also very good. But is this person a little difficult to control?" Albu Duke Leicht frowned and said. In fact, on this issue, the crown prince and the duke are in private. The crown prince is optimistic about Kemal because of everything he has done to Turkey in history. In the case of defeat, he brought Turkey out of the brink of disintegration. And the reason why the Duke is not optimistic about Kemal is also because Kemal is too good.
"Turkey itself has the qualifications to become a big country. They own Asia Minor, and the entire Fertile Crescent (later Israel, Syria, Lebanon, all the way to the arc of Iraq.) Now it has regained its foothold in the Balkans, Iraq The oil has also made Turkey a resource-rich country. There is also Libya, which is now reintroduced into Turkey's territory. If he is given another political strongman, and after eradicating the decadent caliphate system and religious influence, this country has a great future. said the duke.
