The Rise of the Empire

You know, although people say that the U.S. military learned from Germany, in fact, except for the weapons that Germany directly supplies to the Americans, most of the weapons from both sides are actually incompatible. If nothing else, just take the most basic ones. , in terms of machine guns, the Germans have 7.92MM, while the Americans have 7.62MM. In terms of artillery, the German's howitzer is 150MM and the Americans' 155MM. If it comes to complex weapons, purely from the drawings, the Americans use imperial units, while the Germans use metric units... Well, if Persia or the Americans don't have any intentions, why do they buy these weapons? Is it reserved for domestic nobles to hunt rabbits? What kind of international joke are you kidding?

However, if you think of the large-scale armed rebellion that broke out in the Mesopotamia and Mesopotamia according to the intelligence, then this problem seems to be somewhat unclear! As the highest-level commander of the Turkish army, if you ask Kemal what kind of war is easiest to fight, then it must be suppressing the rebellion! In fact, since the Young Turks came to power, the Fertile Crescent has not been completely peaceful. Kemal will clear out rebels here almost every year. Kemal is very clear about the combat effectiveness and activity habits of these rebels!

If I had to use words to describe it, then the previous insurgents could be described as ragtag, poorly equipped, fighting on their own and trying to undermine each other. It's very simple. Many rebels are actually tribal rebellions. They know nothing about military affairs, especially in terms of equipment. Under the long-term high-pressure policy of the Turkish Empire, ordinary people want to get guns? This is very difficult.

It's even more interesting to talk about fighting each other and trying to undermine each other. Sometimes Kemal, as the payer, did not know whether the so-called uprising in the Mesopotamia was against the Turkish government, or was it a fight between various ethnic groups and religious beliefs? Let's put it this way, the Arabs and Kurds in the two river basins dislike each other. Arabs who believe in Shias and Arabs who believe in Sunnis also dislike each other, and there are many things that undermine each other and stab each other. It can be said that the internal fighting between the various factions contributed a lot to the stability of Turkey's rule in the two river basins! Don't laugh, it's the truth!

Therefore, even if the Turkish army continues to embarrass themselves, facing these opponents who are even more difficult to mention, it is still relatively easy for the Turkish army to wipe them out. But this time everything is different! First of all, according to recent newspapers, the Turkish army's settlement of the Mesopotamia was very unsatisfactory. The rebels who originally fought independently or even stabbed each other in the back began to unite! Although they are not at the level of cooperating with each other, it is very abnormal that they no longer hold each other back!

Secondly, the level of troop training and weapons and equipment has also been greatly improved. Although it is still not a regular army, judging from the words in the newspaper and the losses, the opponent's combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, and the large number of standard weapons found in the seizures can also reveal some problems! First of all, Kemal believed that these weapons would not be directly provided by Germany and Austria to the rebels, because Germany and Austria had no reason to do so, and they could not transport such a large number of weapons without anyone noticing!

After all, Basra and Kuwait are controlled by Turkey and Germany.

It is impossible for Kemal to know that these things went in! Therefore, after contacting Persia to purchase a large number of German weapons, a somewhat unbelievable but true idea appeared in Kemal's mind. The Persians bought a large number of German weapons from Germany and Austria. Then it was transferred to the rebels!

Maybe someone has said, why don't the Persians send their American weapons to the rebels? The reason is very simple. First, the Americans do not allow it. After all, if a large number of American weapons enter the Mesopotamia, it is very likely to irritate the Germans. Although the United States and the United States have conflicts, they are far from a showdown. Secondly, the Americans are also supporting Leta Pasha and others. If American weapons appear in large numbers, the relationship between the United States and their agents in Turkey will be directly on the verge of collapse. Therefore, under various conditions, the Americans could only choose to let Persia purchase German and Austrian weapons and then send them to the Mesopotamia.

Okay, now the question is, don’t the Germans know about this? What role does Germany play in this matter? To say that the German government does not understand the American plan, Kemal believed that after all, Germany is actually quite chaotic now. It is possible that it is busy with internal affairs and neglects external affairs, but Crown Prince Ruprecht of Bavaria does not Maybe you don’t know about this! And he knew it, but the Austro-Hungarian Empire did not prevent this from happening. So what does that mean? Is the Crown Prince condoning this? Or, like the Americans, want to tear the Turkish Empire into pieces? !

When he thought of this, Kemal felt that he was really scared! He knows that if the two most powerful countries in the world "reach a consensus", then Turkey is really dead! Until now, Kemal really believed what Carlius said. Bavaria helped him purely because of the friendship between them...

"I really didn't expect that this friendship would be so heavy. I would rather have this friendship in exchange for the rejuvenation of my motherland." Kemal murmured.

"No, I will never tolerate this happening. I will never let my motherland be torn apart! He survived the largest war in the world. I will never let him fall. I must work hard. , I must make Germany stand on the side of Turkey! I want to realize the renaissance of Turkey! A renaissance in the true sense!" After a short period of confusion and depression, Kemal regained his faith again!

"Bersson, help me ask the Austro-Hungarian side. I asked them about General von Seeckt last time. I need to meet with him. Is there a result now?" Kemal said.

However, this meeting did not seem to go smoothly. Not only General von Seeckt did not meet him in a short period of time, but other Bavarian generals who had interacted with Kemal also did not have time. Even Kemal said that he could meet in Requests for a visit at the right time were rejected. It’s not because these people are too big, but because a large part of them are in Ukraine and Transcaucasus!

But in the end, Kemal got his wish and met General von Seeckt. And this meeting became a new beginning in Kemal's life!
