The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 2405: Turkish

"Then we need a person to try the tone, informal channels." Prince Albert said.

   "Let General von Seckert go, he used to fight alongside the Turkish army in Asia Minor. He also has some friendship with Kemal," the crown prince said.

   "So, do you have any thoughts on this war that took place in the Middle East?" Prince Baden asked.

"As long as this war can continue, it will be a great loss to Turkey's national strength by fighting for a long time in the desert area. At the same time, the Kurds and Arabs in Turkey can also use it." The crown prince said. .

   "If the previous Turkish government really collapses, how should the new Turkish borders be defined in the future?" Duke Albrecht asked a topic of interest to everyone.

   "Turkey's territory in Europe should be preserved. The same is true for Asia Minor." Thinking of this, the crown prince took a pencil and walked to the huge map of the Middle East, and then drew a circle in the later generations of Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan. "Most of it can be preserved here."

The reason why most of them can be preserved, but not all, is because the crown prince believes that if in the future, a Jewish state similar to Israel can appear here as an ally and a nail of the allies in the Middle East, then it is also a good choice. Left a chess piece in the Arab world! After all, the pan-*ism of later generations is really powerful, and it has twisted the Middle East countries into a rope for a certain period of time!

"The same is true for Turkey's territory along the Red Sea." The crown prince said while moving the pen tip on the map. Finally, when he reached the Mesopotamia, the crown prince was a little hesitant, and the attention of others was also focused here. , It is Turkey's most important territory besides Asia Minor!

   "Turkey can retain at least half of the Mesopotamia!" the crown prince said after hesitating for a moment. Later Iraq’s oil fields are mainly distributed in the eastern region, and the northeast region is close to Turkey. According to the crown prince, later generations of large oil fields such as Kirkuk can be owned by Turkey. As for the south, whether Turkey can obtain the Persian Gulf It depends on the performance of Turkey’s new leader.

   Of course, no matter how the territory of Turkey changes, it is somewhat unchanged, that is, the fuel in the entire Middle East must be controlled in the hands of the Allies, just like later Americans did!

   "If this is the case, the new Turkey is still a powerful country with the ability to dominate the entire Middle East. Isn't such a regional power not good for us to control the Middle East?" The Duke frowned again. When a regional power is strong to a certain extent, it will naturally adopt a confrontational and repellent attitude towards external forces, especially when there is only one power in the region! The specific situation can refer to later generations of India. India is not only in conflict with the TG, but also has a certain degree of wariness about the US actions in the Indian Ocean.

The Duke worried that if such a vast area of ​​Turkey becomes an advanced capitalist country, will it have a bad impact on Germany? After all, a country that is truly powerful has ambitions, and now Turkey's greatest enemy, Russia, no longer borders Turkey! Therefore, Turkey's ambitions are also normal.

"We should use this opportunity to weaken Turkey. Turkey should not keep the mouth of the Persian Gulf. We can even support the Kurds to form a new country. They are incompatible with the Arabs and Turks and can also be our pawns. Turkey's territory along the coast of the Red Sea should also be erased." The Duke said.

"For this question, I suggest that we wait until the meeting between General von Seckert and Kemal is over before deciding. I hope this Turkish lion can have a clear understanding of the current situation." Albert Said the prince.

   "What about Libya? If Turkey launches civil strife, then Libya, as an overseas enclave, is likely to become independent. What is the empire's attitude towards this possible new country?" Bühler asked.

"Neutral attitude, if the Turks are smarter, after large-scale turmoil in the country, they will consider giving up some places, such as Libya, which is a little far away from Turkey, and its ethnicity and attitude towards religion are incompatible with Turkey." The Duke made up his mind to weaken Turkey.

"I think that in the future, Russia will no longer be able to pose a threat to Turkey. Turkey, which no longer borders Russia, no longer depends on us militarily. Every country has its own ambitions, and so does Turkey. From their actions Look, Turkey is very likely to want to restore the Arab empire that year! Note, I am talking about the Arab empire. If Turkey is really strong, their first step will be the Arabian Peninsula, and the second step may be Persia! This is We will never tolerate it!"

   "And I am worried that in the future ~lightnovelpub.net~ when the United States, Britain, Russia and the empire are hostile, Turkey will stand on the side of these countries." After the Duke said this sentence, everyone was shocked!

   "Why?" Ruprecht asked.

"If Turkey is an ambitious country, then it will be impossible for them to gain more benefits by following us. We can no longer condone Turkey's expansion! In order to defeat us, the United States, Britain and Russia may give higher The offer! And Turkey is indeed worth the price! They control the Black Sea and are only a few steps away from our most important oil field! They can threaten the Austro-Hungarian Empire from the flanks. If I am an American, I want Turkey On our side, you can even allow Turkey to bring Persia into its sphere of influence." Duke Albrecht said.

   "It makes sense." The crown prince was lost in thought. I glanced at the map on the wall and I have to say that the current location of Turkey is really important. Controls the routes in and out of the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.

If Turkey falls to the United States, Britain and Russia, then the first will be the Baku oil field and the Allied ships that transport crude oil and grain in the North Sea. If the Allied countries are at war with Russia, Britain, and the United States, then how long will it take? How about reopening the Black Sea-Mediterranean route? This is really hard to say, after all, the area around the Dardanelles is really easy to defend and hard to attack! The crown prince really doesn't want to fight a World War II version of the Dardanelles battle!
