The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 346: First Sight

All kinds of empty words and flattery don’t cost money anyway, and they are spoken from both sides like the galloping Amazon River. The host gives the guests the highest level of reception, and the respect of the guests flatters the weak host. Everything is so beautiful that it makes people I saw the two countries of Germany and Turkey getting closer. \u003c/p\u003e"If there is no accident, you will be in charge of the rest of the reception work. It is so easy to come to Turkey, I want to take a good look." That night, the prince recruited Herbert and asked him to take charge of the reception. The subsequent contact work with the Turkish government, anyway, some things that should be discussed have already been written. In the face of a strong Germany and huge interests, Turkey has not many choices. \u003c/p\u003e "As a soldier, I hope to communicate with the Turkish military. General Mackensen will accompany me. I need to know the situation of the Turkish army." The prince said. \u003c/p\u003e "As you wish, Your Highness." Herbert said respectfully, and then he exited the room, leaving only the prince and Mackensen in the room. \u003c/p\u003e "The target person has been contacted, but according to inside information, there will be Sudan's eyes and ears among the Turkish officers tomorrow, and some things are not convenient to say." Mackensen said in a low voice. \u003c/p\u003e"It doesn't matter. What I say tomorrow is fair and aboveboard. There is nothing to blame. Smart people can understand it and make the right choice." The prince said indifferently. \u003c/p\u003e"General Chef Kate is a patriot, and what we do is to make Turkey stronger. We have no conflicts in essence, and he will understand. How to say, compared to Italy, Malta, and the upcoming The trip to Vienna and Turkey should be the easiest," said the prince. \u003c/p\u003e"I believe that your trip to Vienna will be the most troublesome thing for you. Your actions have made His Majesty the Austrian Emperor very dissatisfied, right?" Mackensen laughed, although the prince He is in a high position, but he is easy to get along with when he is not talking about business. \u003c/p\u003e "Let's go with fate, if you deal with it, it counts as a game." The prince smiled and said helplessly. \u003c/p\u003e "Confused!" When His Royal Highness inspected the Turkish guard of honor accompanied by General Shevkett and General Mackensen, his first impression of the Turkish soldiers was that even so, the guard of honor who could participate in this review was never sold. Naturally, there is nothing to say. No matter how poor Turkey is, it will not fail to gather hundreds of brave soldiers. \u003c/p\u003eThey are physically strong and energetic, giving people a powerful feeling, but the prince saw the emptiness and confusion in their eyes, they feel more like a machine obeying orders than a soldier, the prince believes them They can execute the orders of their superiors very well, and they can fight desperately for rewards and military exploits, but they don't know why they fight! \u003c/p\u003eAs an ordinary soldier, it may not be necessary to know these fights, but if an army does not know its mission and purpose, then this army has no real military spirit! A truly powerful army can only exist in a nation-state and must have strong cohesion. \u003c/p\u003eBut the prince couldn't feel the cohesion of the Turkish army in front of him, because their eyes were full of numbness, and some of them were full of blood. It is certain that these people had participated in actual combat, but after a After the first fight, they were a little confused. \u003c/p\u003e On the other hand, looking back at the Bavarian army he brought, he can feel the sense of honor and mission in this army! These people were carefully selected by his uncle. Many of them had joined the Blue Legion. They fought for the kingdom in the Far East. teacher's appearance! They brought victory to the kingdom, and the kingdom did them no wrong,

They gained status, wealth and the respect of the people! They defended the dignity of the empire with their own swords! \u003c/p\u003e"This is the gap!" The prince shook his head helplessly. This army can only be described as numb. Some people in the Turkish army must know this question, but they are also confused, and it is precisely because of this that the Young Turk Party, which holds high the banner of equality of all citizens and guaranteeing the integrity of the country's territory, has sprung up! But it is a pity that the Turkish army still has not risen.... \u003c/p\u003eCompared to the illusory military spirit and fighting will, the gap in equipment is more intuitive, and it can more easily arouse the shock of the Turkish military. Although it was a regiment, the equipment it brought far exceeded the establishment of the regiment, and even two new 150mm heavy guns that Bavaria just made came over. This is a big guy that only the first-level Bavarian division has. The difference between the products is that the Bavarian 1899 150mm heavy howitzer emphasizes the range. \u003c/p\u003eThe weight of the sfh99 artillery is as high as 4500kg. The barrel length is l15. Because of the use of a larger chamber, the maximum range has reached 9800 meters, even compared with the sfh13 howitzer used by Germany in World War I in history, it is not inferior, and it has advantages in range and weight. (Of course, it can’t be compared with the French m1917. It’s much worse...)\u003c/p\u003e To be honest, this is the first time that General Chef Kate saw the army’s 150mm heavy artillery. The gun barrel, the sturdy gun body, and the cold-glowing artillery immediately attracted the general's attention. Next to the artillery, the performance of the artillery was marked in German and Turkish. \u003c/p\u003e "It's really an amazing weapon that can shoot a 45kg shell nearly 10km." General Shefkaite made no secret of his love for this artillery. \u003c/p\u003e"In South Africa, the British call this kind of artillery a heavy hammer. Almost all field bunkers and most of the city defenses are worthless in front of this kind of artillery! And the Boers still use this kind of artillery The predecessor of the sfh96, the equipment we provide to our Turkish friends is the latest, with lower weight, longer range and longer artillery life." Mackensen on the side introduced. \u003c/p\u003e "In order to express the sincerity of the German Empire and the Kingdom of Bavaria, we will provide your country with 4 150mm heavy guns and related accessories and technical support for free. Establish the first modern heavy artillery company for the Sudanese army." Prince In a word, four artillery pieces were sent out. \u003c/p\u003eThese artillery pieces are just to satisfy the vanity of the Turks. To say how useful they really are, the prince thinks that apart from establishing a teaching artillery company to train new artillery talents for Turkey, the actual combat significance is really limited. Given the current economic strength of the Turks, it is difficult to equip each division with a heavy artillery company. The real practical ones are the little guys behind the heavy artillery! \u003c/p\u003eThe poor man's good friend, **Si's favorite! Mortars and machine guns! Of course, if it comes to later generations, rpg will be added. The number of mortars and machine guns does not need to be equipped. From the current point of view, Turkey still has at least 8 years of relatively peaceful time. The so-called peace means that it does not need to deal with foreign troops, but uses a little machine guns and mortars to deal with domestic troops. Enough of the nationalist separatists. \u003c/p\u003eFirst of all, I would like to thank the book friend Xiaoyu in the toilet for his 2k\u003c/a\u003e~~~, the author will do what he says!
