Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

The group came to the edge of the waterhole and looked at the two deer lying on the ground. Yannick admired them. "Monsieur Pétain is so old and strong. His marksmanship can be said to be perfect!" The deer hit by Pétain fell to the ground and died on the spot. However, the deer he hit ran a few steps before falling. If the bullet had been deflected any further, it would have disappeared long ago. .

Petain laughed. "Your Highness, thank you very much. This old bone only has so much ability, but the antlers are really beautiful."

Yannick waved to the guard on the side. "Clean up this deer head and let Monsieur Petain take it back."

Westerners like to hang deer heads in their living rooms. This habit dates back to the Middle Ages. At that time, knights usually trained through hunting. The skulls of deer and cows shot during hunting were used to decorate the living room to show off their martial arts. They also usually decorated swords, armor, etc. at the same time. This culture continued in modern Europe and the United States. People like to make specimens of hunted animals and hang them in the living room to show off their bravery and hunting skills to guests.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Just as Yanik and his group continued to hunt, the sound of a motorcycle engine was heard in the distance, and a motorcycle approached from a distance and stopped in front of everyone. A signal soldier jumped off his motorcycle and saluted Yannick. "Your Highness, Minister Ribbentrop called. The Turkish ambassador requested a ceasefire. They said that any request can be easily negotiated."

"Oh, can these Turks lose their hold so quickly?" Yannick sneered. "It seems that these Turks are not that stupid." He also knew that he could directly negotiate with the person behind the scenes. But what were you doing so early? If he surrendered early, maybe it would be okay. After all, what he values ​​most is the Turkish Strait. After acquiring the Turkish Strait, he doesn't care much about the rest.

But these idiots were looking for both the United States and the Soviet Union. The United States was beyond its reach, and the Soviet Union sent troops to reinforce it. As a result, the Soviets themselves were unable to protect themselves.

As for everything being negotiable? Wouldn't it be better to wait until the five countries divide you up before discussing it with them?

After thinking for a while, Yannick opened his mouth and gave instructions. "Let Ribbentrop tell the Turkish ambassador that if they are sincere and hand over two thousand tons of gold, the war can be ended immediately, but the lost land cannot be taken back."

"Two thousand tons of gold?" Petain looked stunned. "I'm afraid they don't even have 500 tons of gold in their treasury." Is Crown Prince Yannik determined to destroy Turkey? When did Türkiye offend him?

Yannick smiled. "If there is no gold, we can use other things to replace it, such as the treasure of their Topkapi Palace Museum."

The crown jewel of the Topkapi Palace Museum is a huge 86-carat diamond, world-famous for its rare weight and unparalleled beauty.

This diamond is also known as the Spoon Diamond.

This is not because the stone is shaped like a spoon, but because the diamond was originally purchased in exchange for three spoons.

In 1679, someone discovered a round stone in a garbage dump. It looked a little different from ordinary stones. A hardware merchant exchanged three spoons for it and placed it among his materials.

Later, by chance, the stone was bought by a jeweler for 10 yuan. After the jeweler bought the object, he showed it to a friend of his. Both of them felt that the object was extraordinary, but they were not sure. Finally one day, they confirmed: This is a rare diamond! So this friend wanted to share benefits, and the two had a fierce dispute.

Later, the head of the jeweler found out about this. He gave each of them a small bag full of money, and then took the "stone" from their hands.

Later, Mustafa Pasha, the Grand Vizier (the title of the Minister of the Ottoman Empire, similar to ****) learned about this, and he planned to buy this "stone" from the head of the jeweler. . Unexpectedly, this matter reached the ears of the Sultan, who ordered that the "stone" be purchased by the palace.

After the "stone" entered the palace, it was processed and polished. When the truth was revealed, people couldn't believe their eyes. It was a rare large diamond weighing 86 carats! !

There is no doubt that the big diamond ended up in the Sultan's possession. As a reward, the jeweler leader received the position of city gate guard and a small bag of money (civil servant + iron rice bowl = 86 carats of diamonds).

"If you don't have gold, you can use silver, jewelry, diamonds, or cultural relics. In short, I only accept hard currency. I don't accept dollars or Turkish lira." The entire country of Turkey is already crumbling. What's the use of collecting their currency? It might turn into a pile of waste paper in your hands.

The same is true for the U.S. dollar. The winner of this world war should be decided within two years. Unless Europe loses the war, the dollar will inevitably depreciate significantly regardless of whether the United States armistices or loses the war.

Ribbentrop conveyed this condition to the Turkish ambassador, who then spread the news back to the country.

"2,000 tons of gold? Are you crazy?!" Upon hearing this condition, not only the Turkish president and prime minister were filled with indignation, but the entire parliament couldn't help but cursed. "These damn Germans are just naked bandits!! Is there any justice?!"

The gold reserves in the Turkish treasury are only more than 300 tons. Where can they collect the remaining 1,700 tons of gold? Do you think they are alchemists? !

Compared with the gold, what is even more outrageous is that the occupied land cannot be taken back. That is a full third of the country! The most abominable thing is that they took away the Turkish Strait!

Looking at the slobbering MPs in the audience, Prime Minister Refik Saidam tapped the microphone lightly. "Everyone, we have no time to waste. While you are cursing us, our land is being invaded inch by inch!"

The crowd seemed to freeze like eggplants beaten by frost. Yes, if we don’t agree to the Germans’ conditions, we won’t be able to save the remaining two-thirds of the country!

After receiving Turkey's reply, Yanik called Greece, Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Bulgaria to ask them to stop the attack immediately. (Serbia, one of the five countries that besieged Turkey, was changed to Syria)

Although the five countries were very reluctant to part with the fat they had already eaten, they did not dare to disobey Yannick's order. After all, if they offended Germany, they might become the next target of being beaten.

Fortunately, Yanik kept his promise and did not let them spit out the fat they had eaten. The land they seized became their own. Naturally, everyone in the five countries was happy.

In this way, the ongoing Turkish campaign came to an abrupt end, even catching the onlookers a little off guard.
