The capital of Turkey, Ankara.
History has changed a lot, because the aftereffects of World War I filled Turkey with fear of war. In history, Turkey did not participate in World War II. It strictly guarded its neutrality and did not provoke anyone. Although it is also a source of origin, it has never broken the bottom line.
But now it's different.
Ankara seems to have entered the rainy season, every day is hazy light rain, people will feel a kind of sadness when looking at the sky.
"Hello everyone." The door of the conference room was pushed open, and a person who made them familiar but scared them walked in.
German ambassador von Baben, he is always a lofty appearance, which makes people tired of seeing it, but he dare not do anything to him, even everyone's face has to squeeze a smile.
"Mr. Ambassador, what can I do this time?" President Inonu asked.
"I'm here to convey the order from Berlin." Von Baben's words were quite aggressive, making everyone unhappy, but they had no choice. The smell of blood in the meeting room seemed to be still there last time. Having replaced the bullet-proof glass, they are still very worried. Now they see von Baben, and they are slowly leaving the window. They are afraid.
In fact, the outside has been rearranged a long time ago. It is very difficult to attack them again, and there is no need at all. Looking at the faces of these people, von Baben said seriously: "This time it is about the Baku oil field. Berlin hopes Turkey can send troops and occupy the Baku oil field within a month. If it succeeds, half of the oil production of the Baku oil field can be handed over to the Turkish side."
When they heard this, their faces were even more different.
The Germans want Turkey to send troops to occupy the Baku oil field, and then give Turkey half of the quota? What about Turkey?
"Of course, Turkey can also choose not to send troops. Because we have also notified Iran that if Iran hits Baku first, then the Baku oil field can allocate half of the oil production to Iran." Von Baben said: " If Turkey decides to act, it must be fast. A month later, if the Baku oil field is still in the hands of the Soviets, then we will dispatch bombers and completely destroy the Baku oil field."
Von Baben’s words were very brief: “This is an opportunity given to Turkey by the Empire. I hope you can seize this opportunity. Now it’s not too late to get on the chariot of the Empire.”
After speaking, von Baben looked at his watch: "I have returned to the embassy. I hope to give me an accurate answer before I get off work today."
After speaking, von Baben walked out slowly.
Looking at his high-pitched back, Sara Ruo Lu really wanted to spit fiercely, but when he saw Gracho Lu, he swallowed it back.
Recently, Graciolu and von Baben have come close, he must have known it! Thinking of the Englishman who was killed by a sniper last time, he felt anxious in his heart.
"Everyone, I have made a plan with General Kazim. Our troop deployment can achieve the occupation of the Baku oil field with minimal cost." Gracholu said.
Just when everyone got the news, Graciolu, as the prime minister, had already worked out an action plan. This speed was definitely fast enough. At the same time, he was also delivering such a news that he would implement it unswervingly. German orders.
"Gracholu, do you know the consequences of doing this?" Sararolu asked.
Although under the coercion of Germany, Turkey gave the navigation power of the Black Sea Strait to the German navy, allowing the German navy to easily shuttle back and forth through the strait. A series of battles that broke out in the Black Sea were related to Turkey.
But Turkey did not send troops directly, so even if Germany was defeated in the end, Turkey still had a reason. It was forced by Germany's prostitution and there was no way.
However, if troops are sent to Baku, the nature is different, and Turkey will be officially involved in this terrible war!
"I only know the consequences of not doing this." Gracholu said: "If Iran takes over the Baku oil field, it will continue to expand. Everyone, the Iranian approach is seriously hurting our national security. Then look at the map. It’s easier for the Iranians to beat Baku than we are. Once they succeed, the threat to us will be even greater!"
If the Iranians walked through the Caspian Sea, they could land in Baku almost directly, even if they walked on land and out of the mountains, it would be a Pingchuan River, while Turkey would have to bypass Armenia.
Turkey and Iran, of course, also have contradictions. In a world where the weak and the strong, if they do not expand, they can only wait to be annexed by others.
"If we were still hesitating before, let's take a look now. The entire Black Sea is already the sphere of influence of the Germans. The Germans are powerful. They will definitely win this war. We can only follow the Germans. Only by creating a better tomorrow can we expand our territory. We are still an agricultural country. If we have the Baku oil field, we can quickly become an industrialized country!"
In the cabinet, Graciolu is the one who most hopes to form an alliance with Germany and join the war. He thinks this is an opportunity for Turkey.
"Look, Romania sent troops and defeated Odessa. Now Odessa has become Romanian territory! If we don't take any risks and want to expand our territory, is it possible? The territory is used We hit it with both hands!" Gracholu said: "Regardless of whether you agree or not, I have decided to send troops with General Kazim!"
Hearing this Inonu's face is also ugly.
After the strait was sold, Turkey began to trade more extensively with Germany, and thus also obtained German Panther tanks, which were all taken away by Kazim.
Kazim, who came from World War I, is a veteran of the Turkish army with great influence and Gracholu's support. Once the two are united, there is almost no possibility of change.
Inonu believed that if he disagreed, the two would even stage a coup with the support of the Germans, causing all the political reforms carried out by Kemal to fail and reinvigorating military politics.
Turkey wants to get benefits without taking any risks. How is that possible? In this kind of world war, the weakest countries are the most helpless. They are involved in the war, which is coerced by the powerful.
Inonu had no choice.
"If the founding father is still there, I will definitely not refuse." Gracholu continued: "Expand our territory, conquer Armenia, seize the Baku oil field, and reproduce our former glory!"
