Chapter 2829 Panic Kemal 1
"The Sudanese imperial army has passed through the Fertile Crescent and entered the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula. They will take over the previously severely damaged troops and then retaliate against the Arab tribes."
"Leta Pasha, who is stationed in the Mesopotamia Basin, is mobilizing troops to encircle and suppress the Kurds in the north and the Arab rebels in the south, but the progress is very unsatisfactory. At the same time, due to the problem of rebellion, our oil fields in the Mesopotamia Mesopotamia have been harvested When the impact is severe, we can only ensure that oil from the southern region can be exported by sea. However, even in the southern region, oil production has been reduced due to strikes or other reasons."
"The military problems don't seem to be very serious now. The most serious ones are the internal political confrontation and economic problems. The conflict between Sudan and Zemal and others has gradually become clearer. Although the two sides are still divided due to the domestic situation, There was no final break, but it was impossible to return to the situation in the past. Both sides were very confident in their own strength, and the Sudan received a large amount of supplies and weapons from Germany and Austria. Zemar Pasha seemed to have obtained the Americans s help."
"As for the more serious economic problems, the empire's treasury has been empty due to years of war. Before, we could still rely on oil exports in exchange for foreign exchange, but now, with the damage to the oil fields in the Mesopotamia, our oil exports have plummeted. . And the large number of people recruited for the war has led to a lack of sufficient labor in agriculture and infrastructure. Unrest, wars and internal fighting are weakening the empire all the time. The prospects are very bad, my Lord Marshal." Belsson said with a sad face. .
At this time, in a villa on the outskirts of Vienna, Kemal and his adjutant Bersson were studying the current situation in Turkey on the sand table. Yes, they were studying. One thing Crown Prince Ruprecht said is right, that is, Kemal is a true patriot. He loves his motherland deeply and wants to help his motherland change and change under any circumstances. develop. This has nothing to do with his personal situation. For his country, he can deal with the Italians in the deserts of Libya, and fight with the British and French forces on the plains of Asia Minor. They can even incline Americans to attack their former friends and allies behind their backs for the sake of national interests! He would do anything for his country. Even a deal with the devil!
But now, he finally regrets it. If the Germans are not a truly suitable friend, then the Americans are a complete devil to Turkey! They don't want Türkiye to rise at all, they don't even want Türkiye to stay away from Germany! After analyzing the current situation, Kemal believed that the Americans were using Turkey's own ambitions and differences to dismember Turkey!
"Okay, put the information you collected on the table. I want to be alone." Kemal said to his adjutant. From the moment Kemal was rescued, he had been thinking about the purpose of the Germans. Although Carlius had always stated that Bavaria's help was entirely based on previous friendship, but Kemal, who had dual identities as a politician and a soldier, How can Moer believe it? Pure friendship? How much is this worth? Is 5,000 marks enough? Based on his intuition, Kemal believed that the Germans would come to him at the right time and cooperate with him!
But now it seems,
Doesn't that seem to be the case? The arrangements made by the Germans cannot be said to be imprudent. I met my family and subordinates on the fifth day after arriving in Vienna. Then? Then he has been on leave until now. There are almost no restrictions on the movement of his family and subordinates, at least on the surface. All expenses of Kemal and his party are provided by Austria-Hungary. All kinds of services are also considerate. If only in terms of quality of life, this is even better than in Türkiye!
So, after the initial wait, Kemal himself finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to send his subordinates to collect intelligence. However, as a person with basically no connections in Vienna, the intelligence he could collect was So called newspaper…. Then Kemal and his adjutants began to look for clues from the newspapers. Use this to analyze the current situation in Türkiye. At this time, Kemal had become a wealthy and idle man, but this did not prevent him from cherishing his motherland in the distant Vienna!
Although the information is so scarce, as a former high-level member of the Turkish government, Kemal can still draw a general context from it. Everything Bersson said just now is too optimistic. In fact, under Kemal It seems that the situation in Turkey is worse than this!
Turkey's problems are not only domestic internal strife and wars in the Arabian Peninsula. On the east side of the empire, second only to the Mesopotamia in importance in Asia Minor, a storm is also brewing, and Kemal has already smelled it. The smell of blood!
Kemal went to the table and took out a newspaper. The content written in this newspaper is very simple. It is just a large arms trade reached between Skoda and Persia. A large number of rifles, machine guns and ammunition accumulated during the war were sold to this country very far away from Europe at a very low price. , but a country very close to Turkey! In the eyes of outsiders, this is just a simple arms trade, but in Kemal's eyes, there is a strong flavor of conspiracy in it!
Because Kemal knew that the size of the Persian army would definitely not be able to consume so much armaments! And more importantly, the Persian army is not dominated by German weapons, but mainly by beautiful weapons! As an important neighbor of Türkiye, how many troops does Persia have? All regular and reserve forces combined do not exceed the number of 6 German integrated divisions! That is about 100,000 people. They already have some weapons. At this time, if there are no accidents, what is the purpose of Persia purchasing so much armaments?
Moreover, Kemal knew very well that Persia’s current weapons and equipment are mainly beautiful weapons! The Americans' deployment in Persia was actually very early! Before the war was over, but after the Allies had shown their decline, the Americans had already begun to contact Persia, and provided Persia with a large amount of weapons and equipment at almost free prices, and sent officers to train the Persian army. Okay, now the question is, under normal establishment, the Persians, who would never be short of weapons, why would they purchase a large amount of German weapons at this time?
