Chapter 2661: Old Friend One

"Long time no see, my old friend, I seem to have lost the greatest pleasure in life after the war, and now, being able to reminisce with comrades who once fought side by side has become one of my few pleasures." A few days later, the German representative The delegation visited Constantinople as scheduled. And General von Seeckt also specially took the time to come to Kemal's residence as a friend he made during the war. General von Seeckt still hopes to get together with his old friends. For this reason, he even turned down Wil Pasha's invitation.

"It's been a long time. After the war, Your Excellency is still in high spirits, but I can only take care of myself at home. I am still very young. I should use my experience and abilities in a wider world." Kemal's words Have something to say.

"Of course, as the best commander in Turkey and a mature politician, you really should have a wider world. In fact, many colleagues who fought in Turkey at that time believed that if the war ended, you could Be the fourth Pasha." General von Seeckt made no secret of his praise for Kemal.

As for General von Seeckt's answer, Kemal was really surprised, because in the conversation just now, Kemal had implicitly expressed his idea of ​​making a comeback, but von Seeckt was unexpected No objection! To say that the German general couldn't understand what he said? That is absolutely impossible! You must know that the family of von Seeckert is not an ordinary German nobleman, so it is definitely worthy of the family history! And if the two systems of Prussia and Bavaria are mixed at the same time, if the political skills are not flexible, I don't know where I will be assigned now!

To be honest, von Seeckt's words are a bit over the top, he is just a general, and under the condition that Xiao Moqi is the chief of the general staff of the empire, as a general, even when meeting his friends, It is inappropriate to express such views on the political circles of other countries. In a small way, it was a slip of the tongue, in a big way, could it be that General von Seckert also had his own purpose? Kemal is not sure, he needs to test each other again. To tell the truth, he really didn't want to fight politically with his friends, because it would spoil the friendship between them. However, when people are in the arena, sometimes they can't help themselves!

"Okay, don't talk about me, talk about you, where are you now?" Kemal asked.

"I am in Bavaria now. If I were in my hometown, I am afraid that the best result would be to spend my life in an office of the Prussian Federal Army. Instead, I might as well go elsewhere and find some more challenging sex work." General von Seeckt said it frankly.

"So, this time you are the military representative of the Kingdom of Bavaria?" Kemal was a little surprised.

"That's right. General Herlingen represents the Imperial General Staff and the Kingdom of Prussia, and I represent Bavaria." Von Seeckt said.

"If one day you are willing to go to Germany, then please be sure to visit Bavaria. I will welcome you in my new home and taste real Munich beer and Bavarian white sausage.

You can even go to Swan Castle to see. "General von Seeckt said meaningfully.

"Swan Castle?" Kemal is now finally sure that the other party is going to tell him something extraordinary. The reason is very simple. Swan Castle is the property of the Bavarian royal family. How can ordinary people go there? And now that General von Seeckt said these words, he could only get the high-level instructions, otherwise, who would dare to make fun of the Bavarian royal family? Don't want to hang out? !

"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 Seeckt said very directly.

"Okay, come to my study, don't need any followers, let's have a good chat." Kemal really let go of everything at this moment, and said to his old friend.

"The war is over, we won the long-lost victory, regained the territory, and recast the prestige of the Ottoman Empire on the earth. Well, now, are Turkey and the German Empire still allies? Is your country's attitude towards us still the same? Will it be like before the war?" Kemal asked.

"Of course we are allies," von Seeckt said.

"So how do you define an ally? I think an ally should stand on an almost equal footing and cooperate for common interests. But what about now? I feel more about control, a large number of industrial products and capital in Germany Like an invisible chain, Turkey is firmly locked, we want to develop and want more autonomy, but you are not relaxing at all." Kemal said.

"Are you worried about us putting pressure on the Americans to withdraw their capital from the Mesopotamia?" General von Seeckert said with a long sigh. What should come will come after all. This is an unavoidable question for him and Kemal, or some people in Turkey. Whether the results of today's negotiations are satisfactory will directly affect the future relationship between Germany and Turkey. To be honest, not only Kemal, but even many conservatives support the US's entry into the Turkish oil market. Germany's doing this is actually outraged in Turkey.

"Since you mentioned this question, well, I also have a question to ask. Is your country cooperating with the Americans for purely economic benefits, or are you planning to have another choice in politics and diplomacy?" Von Se Kurt asked back.

"Of course it's a purely economic issue." Kemal said, frowning. It is impossible to say that Türkiye has no political considerations. But he would never say it directly. After all, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the contradiction between virtues has gradually surfaced.

"Is it purely an economic issue?" General von Seeckt said while rubbing his chin.

"Of course, we have also received some financial 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.

"Then what is your attitude towards your country's use of troops in the Arabian Peninsula?" Von Seeckt asked.

"Well, we are discussing matters between countries, right? I'm afraid it's not good to ask about my personal attitude?" Kemal said.

"Can you represent Sudan's attitude?" Von Seeckt asked.

"Of course I cannot represent His Majesty's attitude." Kemal laughed at himself.
