And this person is General Mohamed Shavkate! This person is the only person in the Young Turkish Party who can be recognized by various factions. He once suppressed the Turkish rebellion in 1909 and once dominated three legions! Whether in terms of strength, reputation or ability, they are the best support targets for Germany. He also has an NB brother, which is the future founding father of Turkey who served as his staff during the rebellion in 1909 - Kemal!

For countries like the Ottoman Empire, a prince can only ensure three things. The first thing is! The Ottoman Empire must stand firmly on the side of the Germans. If their leaders are unwilling, then give Turkey another person who is willing to cooperate with the Germans!

In history, the Turkish Empire's joining the Allies was actually a big accident. Although Turkey hired the German Army Officer Corps to train its troops, the British were responsible for the navy, and the Navy Minister Jemal, one of the three political giants, was still a pro-French person!

If Churchill hadn't had the "assistance" that was too beautiful, not only had he requisitioned two Turkish battleships, suspended a series of construction plans, including cruisers, and refused to refund £4 million in ship funds, Turkey would not have necessarily joined the Allies...

Second, the Ottoman Empire must have an army that is quite capable! Whether it is helping Germany share the pressure or suppressing domestic rebellions, the Turkish army is far from qualified. If compared with Britain, France, Germany, Austria and Russia are just behind, then the Turkish army is almost equivalent to something from another dimension. Therefore, it is necessary to make Turkey have a decent army.

Let’s look at the performance of the Turkish army before the 1st World War in history. You said that the Italian-Turkish war was directly pushed. This is understandable. Italy is also a top-notch power with a force of 100,000 to 28,000. Not to mention the advantage of firepower, it is not embarrassing to lose, but it is too unreasonable to be beaten by the Balkan countries. This has caused political turmoil in Turkey. War is never just a military issue, but also a political issue.

The victory of a war not only means the preservation of Turkey's territory, but also improves the prestige of the government and eases various domestic conflicts. Whether it is fear or respect for the army, as long as the national independence below does not cause too much trouble!

Third, you need money! Whether it is the stability of a country or the establishment of a strong army, it requires money! The economic foundation determines the superstructure! Unfortunately, Turkey now has no national bank.... All it has is foreign banks, including Britain and France, and the big ones! Turkey has the raw materials needed by Germany, the market needed by Germany, the vast land waiting for development and planting, and a population of more than 30 million! But why don’t you have money to develop or lack an effective financial system. This thing is built by the Germans, whether for themselves or for Turkey.

And since you are preparing for war, you naturally have to do industry! The prince doesn't ask you to produce warships, tanks and aircraft. But you have to build some of the various artillery and shells, and the maintenance of submarines and small and medium-sized ships is better. In history, there is only one place in Turkey that can still be called a military port, which is Istanbul. And here, it is impossible to maintain a warship like Goben. After the Goben was in the thunder, it still handled it rushingly and waited for a year before completing the maintenance in Sevastopol...

Historically, when War One broke out, a Turkish division had only 16 artillery pieces! One army had 3 divisions and military units, and such a huge organization had only 60 to 72 artillery pieces! The artillery (72) of a German division crushed a Turkish army in terms of quantity and quality at the same time! The entire Turkish army was mainly composed of 75mm artillery. In addition to the fortress troops, all field troops had only 36 105mm howitzers and 60 120mm Krupp howitzers. With this little equipment, it is no wonder that the Turkish troops had coffee tables.

Of course, the prerequisite for doing all this is to quickly change Turkey to a Sudan. At present, the only partner to choose is the Youth Turkish Party. This party has many problems, but at least before seizing power, their program was the most progressive, and there were indeed a group of patriots who were willing to sacrifice their lives and shed their blood for the Ottoman Empire.

The young Turkish Party, which was exiled to Europe, was contacted by the German government. This time, it contacted the sympathizers of the young Turkish Party in Turkey, and the task of selecting support objects was handed over to the prince. According to the prince's plan, the Turkish government must replace people before 1901! If nothing unexpected happens, with the help of Germany, Turkey will have at least 12 years of safe development!

In addition to showing off his face on the first day of the event and attending several banquets of senior officers, the prince had been arranging a trip to Turkey. Four days later, the German squadron visited Malta and the squadron from Taranto joined the squadron from Taranto. One day later, the Bavarian royal guards regiment and the German emperor's representatives, General Markensen, met with the fleet.

On the armored cruiser of the Prince Bismarck, the prince met the veteran general who finally lived to be 96 years old and made great contributions in the Battle of 1! The control of Turkey's politics and army was under Prussia, Bavaria was responsible for providing equipment, and Deutsche Bank was responsible for Turkish funding. This was what the prince and His Majesty the Emperor finally agreed.

"General Shefkate is a good contact object. He has a deep foundation in the army, and is a pure patriot. He is more politically inclined to Germany. He also has a high reputation among the people and the young Turkish party. Of course, the most important thing is that he is a decisive person. As long as we can give enough strength to shock them and release a certain kindness, I am at least 70% sure to convince the other party."

"Then the German General Staff can arrange instructors and various personnel for it, so that he can have the power to surpass other military factions in a short period of time. At that time, everything will come naturally. A new government with him as the core will be established, and then Türkiye will develop according to our script." Markensen said.

"In addition, I still don't understand one thing. Why did you bring a complete guard regiment to Turkey? This is not how you demonstrate your strength! A whole regiment, the firepower of this regiment can completely overwhelm a division and a brigade in Turkey!" Markenson thought for a while and said.

"Even if you want to help this partner, these people will leave Turkey after the visit. There is no point in saying that the Turkish Sultan will not allow so many foreign troops to stay in Turkey. What is your significance? I feel a bit overkill!" Markens said with some confusion.
