Chapter 346

All kinds of empty words and flatteries are not money anyway, and they are like the rushing Amazon river water from both sides. The host gives the guests the highest level of reception, and the respect of the guests flatters the weaker host. Everything is so beautiful, which makes people see the further approaching of Germany and Turkey.

"If nothing unexpected happens, you will be responsible for the rest of the reception work. I finally came to Turkey, and I want to have a good look." That night, the prince recruited Herbert and asked him to be responsible for the subsequent contact with the Turkish government. Anyway, some of the people who should be discussed have written the script. In the face of the strong Germany and in the face of huge interests, Türkiye has not many choices.

"As a soldier, I hope to have some communication with the Turkish military, and General Markens 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 quit the house, leaving only the prince and Markenson.

"The target person has been contacted, but according to the inside information, there will be Sudan's eyes and ears among the Turkish officers tomorrow, and some words are not convenient to say." Markens whispered.

"It doesn't matter. What I say tomorrow is upright and there is nothing to blame. Smart people can naturally understand it and make the right choice." The prince said indifferently.

"General Shevkate is a patriot, and what we do is to make Turkey stronger. We have no conflict in nature, and he will understand. How to say, the journey to Turkey should be the easiest thing in Italy, Malta, and the upcoming Vienna," said the prince.

"I believe that your trip to Vienna will be the most annoying to you. Your actions have already made His Majesty the Ao Majesty very dissatisfied, right?" Markenson smiled. Although this prince is in a high position, he is still easy to get along with when he is not talking about serious matters.

"Let's go with the flow, and deal with it one game." The prince smiled and said helplessly.

"Confused!" When His Highness the Prince was inspecting the Turkish Guard of Honor accompanied by General Sevkate and General Markensen, his first feeling about Turkish soldiers, even so, the guard of honor that could participate in this inspection was naturally in terms of appearance. No matter how poor Türkiye is, it is impossible to get hundreds of fierce soldiers.

They are strong and energetic, giving people a strong feeling, but the prince saw the emptiness and confusion in their eyes. They gave people a feeling more like a machine that obeys orders rather than a soldier. The prince believed that they could execute their superiors' orders well and fight to the death in the future rewards and military achievements, but they didn't know why they fought!

As an ordinary soldier, there may be no need to know these battles, but if an army does not know its mission and purpose, then this army will have no real military spirit! A truly powerful army can only exist in a nation-state and must have strong cohesion.

But the prince could not feel that the Turkish army in front of him had such cohesion, because their eyes were full of numbness, and some of them were full of blood. It is certain that these people had participated in actual combat, but after repeated battles, they were a little confused.

On the other hand, he could feel the sense of honor and mission of this army! These people were carefully selected by their uncles. Many of them had participated in the Blue Legion. They fought for the Kingdom in the Far East. After experiencing the baptism of war, this army had already faintly looked like a army of war! They brought victory to the Kingdom, and the Kingdom did not treat them unfairly. They gained status, wealth and respect from the people! They defended the dignity of the Empire with their own sword!

"This is the gap!" The prince shook his head helplessly. If the Turkish army hundreds of years ago was still a military force with military spirit under the influence of religion, then the troops in front of him can only be described as numbness. Some people in the Turkish army must know about this problem, but they are also confused. Because of this, the young Turkish Party, which holds up the banner of equality among the people and guarantees the national territorial integrity, can emerge in a new era! Unfortunately, the Turkish army still has not risen...

Compared with the illusory military spirit and fighting will, the equipment gap is more intuitive and can easily cause shock to the Turkish military. Although the one who came was a regiment, the equipment he brought far exceeded the regiment's organization and ascended the throne. Even the new 150mm heavy artillery that Bavaria just created came with two. This is a big guy that only the first-level unit of the Bavarian division owned. Unlike similar products in history, the Bavarian 1899 150mm heavy howitzer emphasized range.

The sfh99 gun has a release weight of up to 4500kg. The length of the body tube is l15. Because it uses a larger medicine room, the maximum range reaches 9800 meters. Even compared with the sfh13 howitzer used in Germany in the 1st of the World War in history, it is definitely not inferior to the sfh13 howitzer used in War 1 in Germany. It has an advantage in range and release weight. (Of course, it cannot be compared with the French m1917, which is much worse...)

To be honest, this was the first time General Shevkate saw the Army's 150mm heavy artillery, its short and thick gun barrel, its strong gun body, and its cold-glowed cannon attracted the general's attention at the first time. Next to the cannon, the performance of this cannon was marked in German and Turkish.

"It is a surprising weapon to be able to shoot a 45kg shell that weighs nearly 10km." General Shefkate did not hide his love for this cannon.

"In South Africa, the British called this artillery a heavy hammer. Almost all field bunkers and most of the city defense fortifications are worthless in front of this artillery! The Boers still used the predecessor of this artillery, the sfh96 type. The equipment we provide for Turkish friends is the latest, with lower weight, longer range, and longer life." Markenson, who was on the side, introduced.

"In order to show the sincerity of the German Empire and the Kingdom of Bavaria, we will provide your country with free 4 150mm heavy artillery and related accessories and technical support. We will establish the first modern heavy artillery company for the Sudanese army." The prince said, and the four artillery was sent out.

These artillery only satisfy the vanity of the Turks. To be honest, the prince believes that in addition to establishing a teaching artillery company to train new artillery talents for Turkey, the practical significance is really limited. With the current economic strength of the Turks, it is difficult to equip each division with a heavy artillery company. What is really practical is the little guys behind the heavy artillery!

The best friend of the poor, **Si's favorite! Mortars and machine guns! Of course, if we go to later generations, we will add RPG. There are no need to be equipped with mortars and machine guns. From the current perspective, Turkey has at least 8 years of peace. The so-called peace means not having to deal with foreign troops. It is enough to use a little machine gun and mortar to deal with nationalist separatists in the country.
