Chapter 1309 The Dignity of a Diplomat Lies in the Motherland Behind Him
Looking at the liver-colored faces around him, Von Paben felt extremely enjoyable: "At the beginning of the war in Europe, you listened to the rumours of Britain and France and stopped economic and trade exchanges with our Germany. At that time, you It has already shown complete hostility."
Needless to say, everyone knows what's going on. Chromium ore is a strategic resource, and Turkey is showing hostility to Germany by stopping its exports to Germany.
"After that, you signed some treaties with the Soviet Union, posing new threats to our national defense and security. You first took refuge in Britain and France, and then in the Soviet Union. Now, do you regret it?"
The dignity of a diplomat lies in the country behind him. Now Germany is powerful, and German diplomats are also full of confidence.
Von Papen took a few steps, sat on a chair, played with a pen on the table with his hand, and continued: "We in Germany love and hate. The actions of the past few years have broken our hearts.”
"Do you mean to declare war on our Turkey?" Sarajolu asked.
"Declaring war?" Von Paben said with a smile: "When did Turkey deserve to let us declare war? We want to destroy Turkey, it is just a matter of convenience, and there is no need to declare war at all."
Only opponents like the Soviet Union and the United States deserve to use the means of declaring war, and destroying a small Turkey is not necessary at all!
Such insults should have driven him away immediately, but no one did.
"For example, we only need to sell some weapons to Greece, and then promise Greece's territory under the new international order, it is enough to let Turkey perish." von Papen continued.
Hearing this, the people present almost had the urge to tear apart the German ambassador in front of him.
The other party said it very well, and he would also borrow a knife to kill.
When it comes to Turkey's feud, Greece is definitely the first in the ranking, it belongs to the kind of immortality, and it can even be traced back to the 21st century BC.
Now, Greece has sunk under the threat of Germany. If Germany exports weapons to Greece, arms Greece, and maybe promises Turkey's land to Greece, then Greece will definitely re-launch the war with Turkey.
Just like Romania now, it is not for the land of the Soviet Union to die in the Soviet Union.
This move by the Germans is really too clever.
"Of course, we haven't reached that point. It depends on how Turkey chooses." Von Paben continued: "I came this time with hope. Turkey has other ways to choose."
Now, with only Germany's request, and other countries' unconditional compliance, there is no room for bargaining at all. When the fleet outside continues to sail the Aegean Sea, and when the naval guns are aimed at the Turkish coastline, Von-Ba These requirements that Ben put forward are all with a heavy weight.
"Turkey resumes chrome ore exports to Germany and resumes various previous trade exchanges."
This requirement is not difficult to meet. After the fall of Britain and France, there was a backlog of chrome ore in Turkey. For a government committed to developing Turkey's economy, it was not easy to find an exporting country. Now Germany can re-import it. Said to be a win-win outcome.
"To ensure the absolute safety of the German fleet sailing in the Black Sea Strait, lease the port of Istanbul to station the German fleet for a period of one hundred years."
If the first condition was okay, the second condition would be unacceptable to those present.
Leasing the port of Istanbul means that Turkey's territorial sovereignty is no longer complete. The German fleet stationed there is also a real threat to Turkey's Istanbul. They can control the entire Istanbul at any time.
"As compensation, we are willing to export weapons to Turkey. Our active equipment, including FW190 fighter jets and Panther tanks, can be exported to Turkey."
Up to now, the FW190 fighter is still the king of this era. Even the United States on the other side of the ocean has no aircraft that can fully compete with this fighter.
Germany is actually willing to release export restrictions. In this case, Turkey's military equipment can be greatly updated! This condition sounds very tempting.
In fact, for Germany, these are already backward equipment. When they are exported to Turkey, other conditions will be attached, so that Turkey will gradually become its own vassal and become a servant of the country.
The requirements should be raised point by point, the traps should be dug step by step, and there is a strong army behind them, so I don’t believe they will not agree.
"I'll give you half a day to think about it. In the afternoon, I want an accurate answer." After speaking, Feng Baben stood up, patted the dust on his arms, and walked out.
"Bah! It's so arrogant!" Numan spat at the door.
Everyone's face is ugly, the Germans are really arrogant!
"I said, these conditions of the Germans are not absolutely harsh, they are acceptable to us at present, I think, we might as well accept it." Graciulu said.
"Then how can it be possible, renting the port of Istanbul is betraying the country. The father of the country, Kemal, is in the spirit of the sky, and he will never watch us do this!"
"Then, we wait for the Germans to launch a landing operation, simply occupy our Istanbul, and then launch the Greeks to attack us, and we will end up like the historical Poland? In this way, you will Can you go to see Father Kemal and say, we fought?" Graciulu's words were full of sarcasm.
We will resist to the end and never compromise! It is no problem to say these words in the mouths of ordinary soldiers. However, at the decision-making level of the country, they must see the consequences of everything. Maybe their choices will be scolded as traitors, but they have no choice.
The current situation is that if Turkey does not agree, there will be a war. If it is only the German navy, then Turkey can still conduct a great war of resistance, but when Germany pulls Greece in, it will be different.
Even if Turkey can finally defeat its old enemy Greece, then Turkey will be crippled and disabled. At that time, the Germans will still be able to control the Black Sea Strait. Maybe, this is what the Germans fought.
Resistance, what's in it for Turkey?
Turkey is afraid of war, even if they claim to be the most powerful country in the Middle East, they have learned the lessons of the First World War and the ten Russian-Turkish wars, and they dare not be easily involved in the war. In the Russian-Turkish War, Turkey suffered heavy losses. In World War I, Turkey lost all the pants that were beaten. Therefore, when World War II started, Turkey was hiding as far away as it was, and it didn't even dare to watch the excitement.
Now, Germany is going to coerce Turkey into getting on the bus.
