Diplomatic Disputes

After the Battle of Thessaloniki, the armed forces led by the Young Turks did not choose to continue to attack other cities. Instead, they sent a spy to King Hamid II of Turkey, demanding the restoration of the 1876 Constitution. Soon after, Hamid II was forced to announce the restoration of the 1876 Constitution and conduct parliamentary elections. The huge Turkish armed revolution also came to an end.

Subsequently, the Turkish Youth Party, under the leadership of their leader Riza, began to actively prepare for parliamentary elections, striving to occupy a dominant position in the new parliament. Kemal, who played an important role in the armed revolution, failed to enter the core of the party and was not reused by Riza, only being promoted to brigadier general. After negotiating with the Turkish government, Riza and his Turkish Al-Shabaab decided to return the command of the insurgent army to the king and the government after the successful parliamentary elections. Kemal expressed strong opposition and concern about this, but he was helpless. People value his opinion, so he proposed to Riza to take his troops to the Kassandra Fortress to accept the surrender of the defenders and station there. Riza agreed to his request.

"General Kemal, congratulations on your promotion!" Ollie smiled at Kemal, who had been put on the brigadier general uniform, stretched out a hand and said: "Unexpectedly, only two small battles were fought, and your revolution would Success! Now that you are going to control this country through the parliamentary elections, I don't think my mercenary group needs to continue to stay! So, can we settle our military expenses?"

"Dear Mr. Ollie, your prince and I have set the military expenses and the cost of purchasing weapons, which will be repaid after we take control of power. If we do not have enough funds, we can use resources or territory to compensate! You have seen that, now we simply There is no military expenses. My soldiers have not received the military salary for two months, and I still have to demand them every day! What's more, we have not yet gained power! Alas! These people actually think that they can control the country through elections. How naive! I think the war will break out sooner or later! So I hope you and your corps can go to Cassandra with me, on the one hand, continue to train my troops, on the other hand, I don't think it will take long for the nobles. It will regain the power by force. If that is the case, it would be difficult for my troops alone to make a difference!"

"Well then! I will ask our prince for instructions. If he thinks we should stay, then we will follow you to Cassandra. After all, he is now paying for the corps!" Oli thought. I think, I think Kemal's words are also reasonable. No government has ever controlled a country so easily.

At this time, Chen Tian in Berlin also encountered trouble.

After the forces of the Al-Shabaab Turkish Party occupied Thessaloniki, the Turkish government also noticed the existence of the Orly Regiment, a mercenary group, and the few planes swaggering in the sky. According to the description of the government soldiers who fled back, the Turkish government also knew that there were Germans in the regiment. For the plane Turks, they insisted that the German mercenaries provided them to the revolutionary armed forces. So the Turkish king instructed their ambassador to Germany to protest against the German government and asked for consultations on the matter. Kaiser Wilhelm II summoned Chen Tian and he and the crown prince would handle the matter together.

Looking at the indifferent crown prince next to him, Chen Tian really wanted to buckle his teacup on his head, and the Turkish ambassador opposite was even more unreasonable. The emperor said that this matter was caused by Chentian, and he must solve it properly. So Chentian had to sacrifice some of his own interests in exchange for the prince's support, so he leaned into the ear of the prince and whispered:

"His Royal Highness, today we are still focusing on Germany's interests! Let's clean up the Turks first, and then talk about something that is beneficial to everyone?"

"Really? This is what you said!" The crown prince turned his head, with a smirk on his face. Chen Tian couldn't help shivering, lest this guy come up with a terrible contract later.

"Mr. Ambassador, why do you insist that there are us Germans in that army? What if they are other countries who want to disrupt the relationship between our two countries and deliberately send soldiers who can speak German?" The prince immediately changed himself, very Arrogantly asked the Turkish ambassador.

"His Royal Highness, according to the information we have obtained from the rebels, these people are indeed Germans, and the planes are also provided by these people!" The Turk replied loudly to the Prince.

"So what? It was not sent by our German government! Our citizens have two feet, so we can't restrain them from going abroad!" Chen Tian secretly admired the prince's shameless ability.

"His Royal Highness, but they are German after all, and your government is responsible for extraditing them back to China!"

"Okay! As long as you catch them, we will be responsible for taking them back to Germany!" The prince gave the Turk a blank look. If you Turks have the skills, go and arrest the more than 1,000 German veterans.

"But..." The Turkish ambassador stopped talking.

"But your Turkish government has no way to send an army to arrest them now, right! So, let's let our German government send an army to arrest them, okay?" Chen Tian looked at the Turkish ambassador with a smile.

"No...no! How can it work! Okay, the Turkish government will not pursue this matter!" The Turk took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the crown prince proudly raised Chen Tian. eyebrow.

"But our king said that the plane is controlled by the government in your country and is not allowed to be sold to individuals! The planes in the hands of the rebels were obtained from your Germans, and your government must bear full responsibility for this! "The Turkish ambassador started to attack again.

"But our planes have been sold to many countries, and maybe the rebels bought them from them!" The crown prince took it calmly.

"According to the information we got from the rebels, these planes were directly transported and assembled from Germany!"

"Damn the Young Turkish Party, how come so much internal information has leaked out!" Chen Tian greeted the female compatriots from the Young Turkish Party in his heart.

"This..." The prince had nothing to say, he had to look at Chentian.

"Our aircraft factory did stolen a batch of aircraft engines and parts some time ago, and we are already investigating the matter!" Chentian had to find such an excuse.

"Such an important item was stolen, so it is your government's responsibility!" The Turk was happy that he finally caught the other's pigtail.

boom...

Suddenly the prince took the case and said, "Even if it is stolen, this is our own business in Germany, and it is not your little Turkey's turn to dictate!"

The Turkish ambassador was immediately stunned. It is true that Turkey's international status has a say in Germany's family affairs, and he laughed without being interfered in the internal affairs of Germany. I am afraid that he was a little overwhelmed just now, but he soon remembered something.

"His Royal Highness, I apologize to you and your government for the recklessness just now! However, because the equipment shipped from your government supports our rebels, our country will reserve the right to request foreign governments to send troops! At present, our king is working Meet with British and Russian ambassadors!"

"Then what do you want?" The prince sat down like a pickled cucumber at Princeton. If Britain and Russia are involved, it will be troublesome. His Majesty will be furious. "Do you want us to net those planes back with fishing nets?"

"That's not necessary, our king is kind, and only asks your country to provide us with 20 planes free of charge, and our country will no longer pursue this matter!" The Turkish ambassador was full of smiles.

"What? 20 planes! The market price is 3 million marks!" Prince almost jumped up. According to his agreement with Chentian, this would cost him at least 1 million marks.

The Turkish ambassador did not speak, but looked at him with a smile.

"Mr. Ambassador, it's time for our afternoon tea. Don't mind if we finish the tea and talk again! I'm anxious!" Chen Tian hurriedly pulled Prince out.

"Tea time?" The Turk looked inexplicable.

"Why did you pull me out? The Turks are too exaggerated! Give them 20 planes for nothing? Don't think about it! You have to know that Germany is the only one who wants other people's things!" Prince looked dissatisfied.

"But now there is no other way!" Chentian didn't mind the mere millions of marks, but he couldn't swallow this breath just like Prince.

"How about we give them some broken planes!" Prince suggested.

"No! Doesn't it appear that our Germany is too cautious?" Chen Tian shook his head.

"They dare! Don't look at who they are talking to!" Prince raised his fist, "Huh! You know we are threatened with Englishmen and Russians, and we will get rid of them sooner or later!"

"It's okay to provide them with planes for free, but..." Chen Tian suddenly lit up, "We can earn back the cost of the plane from the after-sales service, maybe we can make a small profit!"

"After-sales service? Tell me!"

"20 old-fashioned planes, no pilots, no instructors, no aviation gasoline, no maintenance!" Chen Tianchao blinked at him, "If you want these, please come with money!"

"Okay! Hahahaha..."

After the "afternoon tea", Chentian and Prince returned to the meeting room vigorously.

"Mr. Ambassador, please tell the king of your country. We promised your country's request to provide 20 planes free of charge! You can take these planes away at any time!"

"His Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, thank you so much!" The Turkish ambassador was still speculating whether the German government would take the opportunity to make a fuss. Now that the prince promised so readily, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I will tell our king that he will be very happy about the successful settlement of this matter, and we will also arrange to transport the precious gifts from your country as soon as possible!"

"Yeah! You are welcome! Mr. Ambassador, please go slowly!" Although Prince's tone was a little helpless, he was actually proud. He had just discussed with Chentian. In the future, the Turkish government would like to invite German pilots or instructors, 10,000 marks a month, want to buy aviation gasoline, 1,000 marks 1 liter, want to find a technician for repairs, 5,000 marks once, want to change parts , The original price was multiplied by 5, and in order to repay him, Chentian promised that all after-sales service income would belong to him.

Subsequently, the prince and Chen Tian reported to the emperor that the dispute had been satisfactorily resolved, but the emperor still expressed a little dissatisfaction between his words.

After Chentian received Ollie's telegram, he only replied briefly: Follow Kemal!
