Iron Germany
Chapter 1157 Turkey's Choice
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Fierce artillery fire was bombarding the Turkish Army's defense line. Although the 44th Army of the Russian Army had only two mountain infantry divisions and one cavalry division under it, the performance of tens of thousands of people on the battlefield was very strong. The 1st Army of the Turkish Army has already had two infantry divisions disabled by them. The rest of the infantry divisions also panicked and retreated to the third line of defense.
The 2nd Army of the Turkish Army is in a more difficult situation. They were besieged by the Russian 45th and 46th armies. These two armies are stronger than the 44th Army. Although the total strength is still not as good as the 2nd Army of the Turkish Army, their strong combat effectiveness has beaten the 2nd Army of the Turkish Army to the ground.
The Turkish Army's 2nd Army Headquarters in Van City, Commander Lieutenant General Mehmet, has sent telegrams to the 1st Army and Ankara for help many times. He expressed in despair that if no more reinforcements were received, the 2nd Army would probably be wiped out within a week.
The sudden change in the situation on the front line caught the Turkish government by surprise. President Kemal convened senior government and military officials to discuss countermeasures. President Kemal in this time and space is in good health and did not die in his fifties like in another time and space. Still alive and kicking. Also in government affairs, because President Kemal is in power, Turkey's policy is firmly following the German Empire.
Ankara, the Presidential Palace President Kemal looked ugly. Before, at the founding meeting of the Allied Powers, he assured Kaiser Wilhelm III that if the Russian army wanted to go south from the Caucasus to the Middle East, the Turkish army would be responsible for blocking it. Originally, he thought that sending two armies would be able to hold the line of defense. But now it seems that the development of the situation is far worse than he expected!
"Gentlemen! We have deployed two of the most elite army groups in the east! However, they are now being beaten back by the Russian army, which has less than half their strength! What's going on here?" Kemal The president was very angry.
You know, in order to realize the revival of Turkey, he has racked his brains. A lot of money was spent to buy German equipment, and the German officer corps was invited to train the army. Originally, he thought that even if the combat effectiveness of the Turkish Army could not be compared with that of a world-class army like the German Army. But when the Russian army comes, it shouldn't be bad. But now, it has come to such a result.
A group of senior military and political officials in Turkey did not say a word. Even General Enver, Secretary of the Army and Chief of Army Staff, is the same. The Army's performance is so bad, what else can he say as the helm of the Army?
"Gentlemen, Germany already has a great advantage in this war. They have just severely damaged the Russian army on the Russian battlefield and wiped out more than two million Russian troops. Next year, they will launch A larger-scale attack will further attack the Russian army. I believe that Germany will be able to win this war. If the Republic of Turkey wants to gain more benefits and a higher international status in the future world, it must be urgent We must follow in the footsteps of Germany. Otherwise, we will be completely reduced to a third-rate small country. This war is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for us. Before, I promised the Kaiser that the Republic of Turkey would definitely be able to Resist the Russian army and prevent them from going south from the Caucasus. Therefore, Germany has not stationed troops in the Persian Gulf. But now if Turkey cannot complete this task, what will our German allies think of us? They will continue to support them Us?" President Kemal continued.
The senior officials of the Republic of Turkey all know that the situation this time is very difficult. If the Russian army really went south to lay down the Persian Gulf, or destroy the oil fields in the Persian Gulf. So, how should they explain to Germany? Even if Germany wins the war in the future, the Republic of Turkey may not even think about getting any benefits from it.
"Your Excellency, I will immediately send a telegram to the frontline, asking them to stabilize the situation as much as possible. In addition, I will personally lead the 3rd Army to the battlefield. I guarantee that our army will be able to withstand the Russians!" Enver said the admiral.
As the helm of the Turkish Republic Army and an outstanding commander, if he can appear on the battlefield, it will be a great boost to the morale of the Turkish Army. Of course, Admiral Enver also believes that Turkey has assembled three army groups with more than 600,000 people. If it can't resist the 200,000 Russian army, it will be a joke. With such strength, what qualifications do they have to participate in this world war? Not to mention the revival of Turkey.
President Kemal nodded: "We must do our best in this battle. We must do what we promised our German allies! Tell the front-line generals to stick to their positions and not take a step back! Retreat and punish with treason!"
Everyone can feel the murderous intent in President Kemal's words. If someone violates the order, President Kemal may really raise the butcher knife.
"Yes, Your Excellency the President." Everyone replied.
"In addition, according to the plan of the German General Staff at the previous meeting of the Allied Powers, we should arm 1.2 million people during the war. Before, we only formed three group armies. Now I ordered further mobilization, and then Form three armies. This time, we will not only resist the Russian attack, but also launch a counterattack. We have fought against the Caucasus Mountains to let the Russians know that we, Turkey, are not to be bullied by them!" President Kemal said.
Germany had promised before that the interests of the post-war world would be distributed according to the performance of the members of the Allied Powers in the war. President Kemal hoped that the Republic of Turkey would be at the forefront of the distribution of benefits after the war. In this way, not only will the Turkish Republic gain more benefits, but it will also allow the German Empire to see the usefulness of Germany.
The world is too big, and it would be very difficult for the German Empire to rule on its own. The Republic of Turkey can definitely become a powerful assistant to the German Empire and help the German Empire to rule the world. Of course, this will also benefit the Republic of Turkey a lot.
Although, further mobilization of the army requires a lot of financial and material resources. But no one dared to oppose President Kemal's decision at this juncture.
