Chapter 2816： Aftermath II (1/2)
”Leave the question of Bavaria to me, I'll talk to them!” Zemal Pasha said. ”You only have one thing to do now, and that is to cooperate with me to handle everything well, first to frame up, then to control the situation in Constantinople, and finally to help me deal with the possible backlash in the army or the locality!”
Two hours later, Zemal Pasha finally came to the throne of the sultan, and beside the sultan, another Pasha also stood by. Sultan Mohammed VI sat on the throne with a gloomy face, staring at Zemal Pasha in front of him with both eyes, like a hunter looking at his prey.
”Your Majesty.” Zemal Pasha bowed and saluted.
”Why, why did things get to the point it is today? What did Kemal do wrong? Why do you want to attack him?” Sultan's cold voice echoed in the hall.
”Your Majesty, we are just implementing the plan we have finalized before, so that Kemal is completely eliminated from domestic politics.” Zemal Pasha said respectfully.
”But I didn't let him die! We can deprive him of power and let him go abroad. Death is a bad option! This is your own decision, and it has nothing to do with me! I can now hand you over to Leta. To the Imperial Court!” Sultan roared loudly.
”Your Majesty, simply depriving power and forcibly sent abroad will not remove Kemal from the Turkish political map. His influence is too great. As long as he is alive, there will be people from the army and the civilians who will support him. Phew, both Germans and Austrians will consider his opinions. This kind of people is not allowed whether they are placed in the country or rushed abroad. The only way is to completely eliminate them.” Zemal Pasha explained.
”You are arrogant! You let a marshal be murdered for your own power and desire! He is innocent, and the one who is really guilty is you!” the Sultan said angrily.
”Your Majesty, Kemal advocates national equality and a parliamentary system. He wants to reorganize the domestic power. He touches the interests of the entire superstructure. Whether it is your monarchy, the privileges and interests of the bureaucracy or the interests of the wealthy class, he wants to change There are also religion, education, and local administrative systems. He wants to re-establish a new country. When his goal is realized, whether it is you or us, everything about us will be wiped out. At that time, we will suffer even losses. He is even more costly than defeat in the war! He wants to sweep us all into the trash heap of history!”
”Your Majesty, you can't give up your vigilance because of the illusion that Kemal now seems harmless to humans and animals. His life spans the whole country from the central to the local system. He has close relations with the Germans. As long as he is willing to show his favor to Germany, he Can get the support of the Germans. Now the domestic situation is struggling. The Germans refuse to provide support because of our military problems in the Arabian Peninsula. The Americans can help us, but they have a very important condition, that is, the Turkish domestic All the pro-German factions in China are eliminated, so we have no choice when we are facing difficulties both internally and externally.”
”Kemal's control over the army far exceeded our expectations. Before, you and us cleaned up Kemal's team in the army. We can say that we have screened almost every officer above the major. ! But what was the result? Just today, our assassination failed! With your acquiescence, under our mobilization and control, we were unable to kill a Kemal! Our troops involved in the ambush were wiped out. A large number of corpses were left on the battlefield of soldiers who had been assigned to the Kemal faction. Obviously, Kemal is already prepared and can mobilize the army under our noses. What a dangerous thing!”
”Your Majesty, you know very well that every move of our army can't escape your eyes. You have acquiesced! But do you know Kemal's movement of the army? Just imagine, in the capital of the Empire, Kemal If you can do this, can you and we have a good night's sleep?” Zemal Pasha defended.
