Chapter 2662： Old friend two (1/2)

”For the same reason, I can't represent the attitude of the German Empire, I can't even represent the attitude of Bavaria. Before, what I told you was only that your Highness asked me to tell your Excellency. And now, what I say is you. On behalf of your Highness, ask your Excellency. This time I meet, I only care about your attitude. As for the attitude of the Turkish government, Sultan, and Pasha, it doesn't matter.” Von Sekt said calmly.

”I don't understand what you mean.” Kemal said nervously.

”Like I said, literally. Of course, if you don't want to, you can refuse.” Von Seckert stared at the opponent, like a knight facing a stranger who is equal to us. At this moment, he has to perform his duties, and the past friendships should be put aside for the time being.

”I hope that the empire and Germany will maintain an ally relationship. Therefore, I also oppose the empire's military operations in the Arabian Peninsula, but I am lighthearted.” Kemal said with a sigh.

”What you said is somewhat different from the actual situation, and there is no inevitable causal relationship.” General von Seckert said: ”First of all, if you want to maintain a close relationship between the two countries, then you should not specialize. Write to your former subordinates and ask them to cooperate with the Americans' mining activities in Kirkuk. You know, this kind of behavior is illegal even in your country. And how do you make your Highness such an untimely action? Regarding you?”

”Secondly, the fundamental reason why you disagree with the military actions of the Ottoman Empire on the Arabian Peninsula is that you think the war is not worth the loss. It is not because of Germany's opposition. The fundamental starting point is for the benefit of Turkey, not for the relationship between the two countries.”

”Am I wrong for the benefit of Turkey? I want to maintain the relationship between the two countries also for the benefit of Turkey. This is not a contradiction. As for the letter, I just think it will increase the income of the Kingdom of Turkey. Just more.” Kemal said.

”Is it purely for economic benefit?” Von Seckert asked.

”Purely for economic benefit.” Kemal said. ”To be honest, the oil extraction agreement we signed with your country is outdated. Americans have more favorable conditions. In addition to more profit, the Americans can also provide us with additional loans. We have no reason. Rejected. This is only an economic activity. And your country’s previous actions were a bit too much, using political means to prevent Turkey from obtaining legitimate interests.”

”If it is purely for economic benefits, then we will not interfere. Your country can cooperate with companies in France, the Netherlands, and Italy. We do not want to monopolize the entire Mesopotamia oil extraction. This is the guarantee of the crown prince. ”Von Seckert said.

”A guarantee from Crown Prince Ruprecht?” Kemal asked.

”Yes, Crown Prince Ruprecht's guarantee. Based on the credibility of the crown prince before, can you trust it once?” Von Seckert asked.

”But only can't do business with Americans? Is this a restriction?” Kemal said.
