Chapter 346： First sight (1/2)
All kinds of empty talk and flattery don’t need money anyway, just like the rushing Amazon river, the host gives the guests the highest level of reception, and the respect of the guests makes the weak host flattered. Everything is so beautiful and makes people Seeing that the two countries of Germany and Turkey are getting closer.
”If nothing happens, you will be responsible for the rest of the reception work. It's easy to come to Turkey. I want to take a good look.” That night, the prince invited Herbert to let him take charge of the subsequent and Turkey Regarding the government’s engagement work, some of the scripts have already been written for the talks. In the face of a strong Germany and huge interests, Turkey has few options.
”As a soldier, I hope to communicate with the Turkish military, and General Mackensen will accompany me. I need to know the situation of the Turkish military.” The prince said.
”As you wish, Your Highness.” Herbert said respectfully, and then he withdrew from the house, leaving only the Prince and Mackensen in the whole house.
”The target person has been contacted, but according to insider information, tomorrow's Turkish officers will have the eyes and ears of the Sultan. Some words are not convenient to say.” Mackensen whispered.
”It doesn't matter, what I say tomorrow will be upright, there is nothing to blame, wise people can naturally appreciate it. And make the right choice.” The prince said indifferently.
”General Chevket 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 Vienna, Turkey The journey should be the easiest.” The prince said.
”I believe that your trip to Vienna will be the most annoying for you. Your actions have already made His Majesty the Austrian Emperor very dissatisfied?” Mackensen chuckled. Although the prince is in a high position, It's easy to get along when not talking about business.
”Let's do it, it's a good deal.” The prince chuckled and said helplessly.
”Confused!” When His Royal Highness reviewed the Turkish Guard of Honor accompanied by Generals Chefket and Mackensen, his first impression of the Turkish soldiers was that even so, the guard of honor that could participate in this review naturally did not look good. Have to say. No matter how poor and poor Turkey is, it will not be impossible to get hundreds of tough soldiers.
They are strong and refreshed, giving people a powerful feeling, but the prince sees the emptiness and confusion in their eyes. They feel more like a machine that obeys orders than a soldier. The prince believes that they can do well. Executing the boss's orders can reward and fight to the death in the future, but they don't know why they will fight!
As 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.
