Chapter 2665 The Future of Türkiye Three
"Hiss..." Kemal gasped. Von Seeckert's words were like enlightenment, making him understand many things in an instant. The Germans may have claims on Türkiye. They will restrict Türkiye. But are Americans really friends of Türkiye? Not necessarily! The United States and Germany are the top existences in the world, they are wolves! For their own benefit, they can ignore the rights and interests of small countries when necessary!
The Germans will do it because of Turkey's capriciousness, and if the Americans find that Turkey cannot win over, then they have a reason to do it to Turkey! If the Americans can't move Germany and Austria, can't they also deal with Türkiye? Regardless of the distance between the United States and Turkey, in fact, as long as the Americans spend some money and weapons to support the countries in the Arabian Peninsula or provoke them in Turkey, it will be enough for Turkey to drink a pot. And if the Americans do it again when there is civil strife in Turkey, the consequences will be really unimaginable!
So, now there is a new question, if the Americans do something to Turkey, will Germany lend a helping hand? Although most of the situations in this world are that the enemy of the enemy is my friend, there are also cases where the enemy of the enemy is not my friend! If the Germans find that they can find another country to replace Turkey in the Middle East, and this country is better controlled, then the Germans may really throw Turkey away and let it collapse!
Are there any countries like this in the Middle East now? Of course there is! Certainly not the countries on the Arabian Peninsula, they are too weak, even in tribal mode! Far worse than Türkiye. What about further east? Persia is a very good candidate country. First of all, the Kingdom of Persia also has rich oil resources, which at least means that the Germans will not suffer economic losses in supporting Persia!
Secondly, the geographical location of Persia is also very important! It's in the Middle East, and right next to British India! To the north is the Caspian Sea, and it directly borders Central Asia. That is to say, whether Germany wants to take some action against India or Russia Central Asia in the future, Persia must be wooed! And if the Persians are willing to serve Germany, then Germany will naturally support it! Even if Turkey collapses one day, it is possible for the Germans to allow Persia to take some benefits from the legacy of the collapse of the Turkish Empire! For example, the Mesopotamia adjacent to Persia!
Thinking of this, Kemal felt a chill rushing from the tailbone to the forehead. At this moment, he understood everything. His previous thoughts were too dangerous and naive! Türkiye is not the only candidate for a regional power in the region. Persia may have an advantage over Turkey. In terms of government, the Persian government is more enlightened than the Turkish sultanate. The current national strength is still weaker, and it will not give the Germans the feeling that they are too big to lose.
Moreover, facing the direct threat of the British and Russians, Persia can only rely on Germany in exchange for support in the future, and there is almost no possibility of betrayal! So, for Germany, is Turkey really necessary for Germany? When Turkey wants to choose neutrality, will the Germans really tolerate Turkey's left and right? The answer does not seem difficult to think of ah!
"Your country holds a hand full of good cards,
But at this time, you still came to me and said these things sincerely, so what is your purpose? Or why choose me instead of others? Not to mention personal preferences, this kind of personal emotion should be eliminated on national issues! And your arrival can only be a special arrangement. "Kemal said with a complex expression.
"Because of your ability, Crown Prince Ruprecht believes that you are the only one among the current high-level Turkish officials who has the ability to realize the transformation of the entire Turkey, and is determined to improve it into a modern country. And we also believe that you once fought side by side with the empire Your Excellency can have a clearer and more direct understanding of the strength of the empire, which will make our communication much easier. And it will be easier to make the right choice. Do you think these reasons are acceptable? They are rational enough and cold-blooded enough !"
After General von Seeckt finished speaking, he leaned back on the chair with a sigh of relief. In the end, he finally broke through Kemal's last psychological defense in a simple and violent way, making him throw aside his unrealistic fantasies! He was unwilling to do this because he thought he and Kemal should still be friends.
"So what if I refuse?" Kemal seemed to want to ask to the end.
"It's very simple, find another suitable partner, and if it doesn't work, then a fragmented Turkey is not unacceptable for the empire. Then we will choose Persia to be our spokesperson in the Middle East, and to deal with Russia And the bridgehead of the British." Von Seeckt said.
"It seems that for Turkey and myself, I have no other choice?" Kemal said to himself.
"The right to choose is in your hands, my friend. But as your friend, I really hope that you can stand with us. The empire can tolerate France, and even forgive Italy's betrayal of the alliance. So for those who have been with themselves Fighting allies will naturally give preferential treatment. You must first establish a new country. If you want to make Turkey a powerful country, you want to inspire people’s wisdom and improve people’s living standards. These empires can help.” Von Seckert concluded Said.
"Okay, I will think about it. Thank you for coming here today to say these words to me. I also thank His Royal Highness Ruprecht. He at least took my feelings into account and used this ultimatum for a while. It was delivered to me in a more civilized way." Kemal said with a long sigh.
"Then goodbye, if you are willing to go to Germany, please be sure to tell me, I will meet you at the train station, I will take you to visit the famous sights and places of interest in Germany, when we are together, we will talk about our relationship with each other friendship, not a transaction based on the discussion of interests." After von Seekert finished speaking, he got into the car and left, leaving only Kemal standing at the door and looking into the distance. There is the Sultan's palace. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, what Kemal saw was not the magnificent scene of the magnificent palace in the setting sun, but the decayed essence under the glamorous appearance!
"Maybe I'm thinking too much. Simple choices may lead to better results." Thinking of this, Kemal turned and returned to his official residence.
