The Rise of the Empire

And this person is General Muhammad Shefkaite! This person is the only figure in the Young Turk Party who can be recognized by all factions. He once suppressed the Turkish rebellion in 1909 and was once in charge of 3 legions! No matter in terms of strength, prestige or ability, he is the best support target for Germany, and he also has a nb younger brother, this is the future founding father of Turkey who served as his staff during the 1909 rebellion-Kemal! \u003c/p\u003eFor a country like the Ottoman Empire, the prince only needs to guarantee three things, the first thing! The Ottoman Empire must stand firmly on the side of the Germans. If their leaders are unwilling, then replace Turkey with someone who is willing to cooperate with the Germans! \u003c/p\u003eHistorically, the Turkish Empire’s joining of the Allied Powers was actually very accidental. Although Turkey hired the German Army Officer Corps to train troops for itself, the British were in charge of the navy, and the Minister of the Navy, one of the political giants Jemal is still a Francophile! \u003c/p\u003eIf it weren't for Churchill's "assist", it was so beautiful, not only requisitioned two battleships from the Turks, suspended a series of construction plans including cruisers, and refused to refund the 4 million pounds of ship funds, Turkey You really don't have to join the Allies... \u003c/p\u003eSecond, the Ottoman Empire must have an army that can still fight! Whether it is helping Germany to share the pressure or suppressing domestic rebellions, the Turkish army is far from qualified. If compared with Britain, France and Germany, Austria and Russia are only behind, then the Turkish army is almost equal to another dimension. So it is necessary for Turkey to have a decent army. \u003c/p\u003eLook at the performance of the Turkish army before the First World War in history. You said that the Italian-Turkish war was directly pushed back. Not to mention the advantage in firepower, it is not shameful to lose, but it is too unreasonable to be beaten violently by the Balkan countries, and this has just caused political turmoil in Turkey. War is always not only a military issue, but also a political issues. \u003c/p\u003eThe victory of a war not only means the preservation of the Turkish territory, but also improves the prestige of the government and eases various domestic conflicts. Whether it is fear or respect for the army, as long as the following national independence does not make too much noise Just go too far! \u003c/p\u003eThird, be rich! Whether it is the stability of a country or the establishment of a powerful army, money is needed! The economic base determines the superstructure! It's a pity that there is not even a national bank in Turkey now... Some are just foreign banks, among which Britain and France are still the big ones! Turkey has the raw materials that Germany needs, the market that Germany needs, a vast land waiting to be developed and planted, and a population of more than 30 million! But Naihe has no money to develop, or lacks an effective financial system. This thing, the Germans must build it for themselves or for Turkey. \u003c/p\u003eAnd since the war is going to be fought, it is natural to engage in industry! The prince does not ask you to produce battleships, tanks and aircraft. However, more or less various artillery and shells should be built, and the maintenance of submarines and small and medium-sized ships should be better. In history, there is only one place in Turkey that can be called a military port, and that is Istanbul. And right here, it is impossible to maintain a warship like the Goeben. After the Goeben was hit by a mine, it was dealt with hastily, and it took a year to complete the maintenance in Sevastopol... \u003c/p\u003eHistorically, when World War I broke out, a Turkish division had only 16 artillery pieces! An army has 3 divisions and military units, and such a huge establishment has only 60 to 72 artillery pieces! The artillery (72 pieces) of a German division crushed a Turkish army in both quantity and quality! The entire Turkish army is dominated by 75mm artillery.

Except for the fortress troops, all field troops had only 36 105mm howitzers and 60 120mm Krupp howitzers. With this little equipment, it is no wonder that the Turkish army has a coffee table. \u003c/p\u003eOf course, the prerequisite for doing all this well is to quickly replace Turkey with a Sudan, and the only partner currently available is the Young Turk Party. This party has many problems, but at least before seizing power, their program It is the most progressive, and there is indeed a group of patriots who are willing to shed their blood for the Ottoman Empire. \u003c/p\u003eThe Young Turk Party in exile in various European countries was contacted by the German government, and this time it contacted the sympathizers of the Young Turk Party in Turkey, and the task of selecting support objects was given to the prince. Plan, before 1901, the Turkish government must be replaced! If nothing else, with the help of Germany, Turkey has at least 12 years of peace of mind to develop! \u003c/p\u003eIn addition to showing up at the event on the first day and attending several senior military officers' banquets, the prince has been arranging a trip to Turkey. Four days later, the German squadron visiting Malta merged with the squadron from Taranto and sailed westward. General Kenson rendezvous with the fleet. \u003c/p\u003eOn the armored cruiser Prince Bismarck, the prince met the old general who finally lived to be 96 years old and made great achievements in World War I! Prussia is responsible for the political and military control of Turkey, Bavaria is responsible for providing equipment, and Deutsche Bank is responsible for the dispatch of funds in Turkey. This is what the prince and His Majesty finally agreed. \u003c/p\u003e"General Chef Kate is a good contact object. He has deep roots in the army, and he is a pure patriot. He is more politically inclined to Germany. Lofty reputation. Of course, the most important thing is that he is a decisive person, as long as we can show enough strength to deter them, and can release a certain amount of goodwill, I am at least 70% sure to convince the other party."\u003c/p \u003e "Then the people of the German General Staff can arrange instructors and various personnel for him, allowing him to have power over other military factions in a short period of time. At that time, everything will come naturally. A new government with him as the core will be established, Then Turkey will develop according to our playbook," Mackensen said. \u003c/p\u003e "In addition, I still have one thing that I don't understand. Why did you bring a complete guard regiment to Turkey? That's not how you show your strength! A whole regiment, this regiment has the firepower It can completely overwhelm a Turkish division plus a brigade!" Mackensen thought for a while and said. \u003c/p\u003e "Even if you want to help this partner, these people will leave Turkey after the visit. It feels a bit superfluous!" Mackensen said with some doubts. \u003c/p\u003eThank you for the family of book friends, who are bound by the sea\u003c/a\u003e~~~!
