Chapter 615: The Controlled Chaos (17)

"Secretary Wei. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 InfoAren't you going to meet that Kemal? The commander of the East African Security Force asked Wei Kun with some puzzlement.

Wei Kun smiled: "If that Kemal thinks that we deliberately pay attention to him, it will not be good for everyone." And didn't this young man also make it clear that he refused to be a pawn of any country? ”

"Looks like you admire him." The commander of the security forces also laughed.

"Dogs, as long as we have meat and bones in our hands, that's how much we need. Capable and moral people will never be willing to be dogs for others, let alone sell the interests of the country in exchange for personal status, and we must respect them. Wei Kun confidently expounded the concept, "To maintain world peace, these people are needed." ”

"Keeping the peace......" The commander of the East African Security Forces could not help but want to laugh. This topic has been discussed before, and everyone feels that maintaining peace and stopping war is not the same thing. If there is no war, there is no basis for peace.

Wei Kun didn't have such a frivolous performance, he had already passed the stage of frivolity. So Wei Kun said: "The reason why I am willing to support this Kemal is that he can decisively put forward a strategy of abandoning the Balkans and holding Thrace." If Kemal is also a man who expects us to be his dog and our East African Liberation Army as a tool of repression, he can go wherever he likes. ”

"Are we really going to change the name of the East African Security Force to the East African Liberation Army?" The commander of the East African Security Forces was somewhat uneasy.

"I will apply to the Party Central Committee for this problem, you don't have to worry about this problem. And aren't all our actions in East Africa liberation? Liberate the local people from the old world and join them into the new era. This is the real liberation. With this name, the name is well deserved! Wei Kun's tone was extremely firm. When he finished speaking, the commander fell silent.

Kemal flew back to Cyprus on the third day after arriving in Nanzhan and then took a fast boat back to Istanbul. Seeing Kemal suddenly appear at the door of his office, the foreign minister of the Ottoman Empire was stunned, and then said in an unhappy tone: "What else do you have to do?" Hurry up and say. Arrange your own affairs and set off for East Africa right away! ”

"I've been to East Africa, I'm coming back from East Africa." Kemal's tone was soft. Even though he had completed the trip himself, Kemal thought it was a little strange in retrospect. It was a distance of 8,000 kilometers, the whole journey was completed in five days, and a loan agreement was signed. Kemal felt that if he said this proudly, he would frighten the foreign secretary.

Kemal's idea turned out to be correct. After listening to Kemal's account, and reading the agreement several times with great suspicion, the foreign minister suddenly said: "Kemal, you tell the truth, have you already been in contact with East Africa. Just running to Cyprus to sign a contract? ”

This was a very severe accusation, and if the Foreign Secretary had been in his right mind at this time, he would have known that it could never be said. Kemal was not a man known for his mildness, and in fact many people did not like him so much because of his stubborn and determined personality, who still had some poisonous tongues. This was a characteristic of the Ottoman Empire as a superior person, but Kemal was not from a superior background. So the young colonel replied coldly: "If you don't believe me, please go to Cyprus with me now." You can see for yourself whether what I said is true or false! ”

The foreign minister really didn't believe Kemal's words, and he immediately summoned his favorite general and asked him to set off with Kemal.

Three days later, the Foreign Secretary's love will be to be lifted into the Foreign Secretary's office. The long-distance flight left the blood in the legs of this man unblocked. More than 20 hours of fear in three days made the diplomat feel like he was about to collapse.

With the two documents in front of him, the Ottoman Foreign Minister finally admitted that the East African Administrative Region had indeed promised to send troops to assist the Ottoman Empire. Eight days later, however, the Ottoman Fourth Army in the Balkans had completely collapsed, and the Seventh and Ninth Armies, which had come to their aid, had also suffered heavy losses. The coalition forces have reached the Bosburs, across the sea from Istanbul. The Russian Navy entangled the Ottoman Navy in the Black Sea, and the Greek Navy, which had purchased a number of fleets from the British, joined forces with the Italian Navy to seize a large number of Ottoman coastal islands.

As soon as the Foreign Minister informed the Ottoman Central Committee of the news, he was immediately ordered to 'immediately ask the troops of the East African Administrative Region to assist our army'!

The Ottoman War Office, already exhausted, immediately appointed Kemal as commander to lead the remnants of the Fourth, Seventh, and Ninth Armies in a counterattack along with the troops of the East African Administrative Region.

After receiving the order, Kemal made only one request, to integrate the troops he had once commanded into the newly formed battle group. Although the War Office agreed, it demanded that Kemal immediately launch an offensive and that the counteroffensive should not be stopped because of this.

On 29 April, Kemal ordered a surprise attack from the Dardania Strait, which had been a good day, but by the time the Ottoman convoy began to depart, it was cloudy and rainy. The coalition forces defending the coast were in a panic, and Kemal himself led his troops across the strait a little more than a kilometer and landed on the opposite coast. However, the coalition forces were not vegetarians, and they immediately organized troops to carry out a counterattack. After several tug-of-wars, the Ottoman army was eventually driven back.

Immediately after that, the coalition forces adjusted their deployment and strengthened the defense of the strait. At noon on April 30, the commander of the coalition front suddenly received an alarm from the rear, and it was a very short sentence: 'The blacks are coming!' ’

The East African Administrative Region sent a division of troops. Unlike the Liberation Army, the East African army adopts a three-three system, and a division is 10,000 when it is full. Because of the adjustment of deployment, the heavy firepower and strength of the coalition forces were concentrated near the strait, and the rear was empty. A few ships brought the black units, armed only with light weapons, to the coast. The troops immediately launched an offensive against the Balkan coalition forces.

Kemal was sure that the black troops had successfully landed, and immediately commanded a battle group composed of remnants of defeated soldiers to board the ship and quickly rush to the landing site to land. In just two days, the Balkan coalition forces, which thought they were about to seize Istanbul, were counter-surrounded in a small area near the strait. The coalition forces immediately organized a breakout, but their heads were broken in front of a field defensive position consisting of trenches and barbed wire.

By May 3, it was learned that the Balkan coalition forces had run out of ammunition and were demoralized. The Ottoman Army, which saw the dawn of victory, felt that it could not let Kemal, a bastard boy, monopolize the fruits of victory. Their troops joined forces with the Janissaries in Istanbul and, with the help of the navy, launched a landing battle from both the Dardania Strait and the Bosbrose Strait. After three days of bloody fighting, the 30,000 allied troops who were surrounded were annihilated. The elite Ottoman troops also suffered heavy casualties.

On 10 May, the battle group under Kemal's command recovered the entire Thracian region and restored a large area of territory west of Istanbul. With Kemalton's retreat, the Ottomans had no desire to continue regaining lost territory. The loss of the Balkans was not an accident for the Ottoman Empire, and even in its heyday, the Balkan mountain people rebelled.

The East African Administrative Region doesn't care about this, and Wei Kun only cares about Kemal. This colonel is very disciplined in the use of soldiers, and if he were to change someone else, he would definitely let the borrowed troops do the hardest work. Kemal, however, gave the East African Liberation Army the most suitable job. The upper echelons of the Ottoman Empire gave Kemal a pile of scum troops, and Kemal used the East African Liberation Army (EAA) in an anti-encirclement operation that required courage and skill. It's very satisfying.

However, the upper echelons of the Ottoman Empire were as disappointing as ever, and Kemal earned only the title of commander of the Thracian Front. His subordinates were still the remnants of the Fourth, Seventh, and Ninth Armies. Now Kemal had to rely on these 40,000 men to hold Thrace. Wei Kun ordered that division to be transferred to Crete to strengthen the defenses, and if Kemal was really a talent, he should solve the problem on his own.

Wei Kun's attention at this time was all on the country. Since April 1911, there have been many protest marches in the country. The original banner was 'anti-official' and 'anti-inflation'!

Maybe it's because you feel ashamed? The guys on the Asian side are still blocking the news, and the combination of all the incomplete information can only deduce an inflationary result.

As the head of the region, Wei Kun couldn't understand how this inflation was created. Both North America and East Africa are exporting large quantities of grain and raw materials to the Republic of China at extremely low prices. More than 20 million square kilometers of raw material production areas are exported to the Asian part of deflation, which eventually leads to inflation. Wei Kun was so puzzled by this that he even wondered if he was going to overtake economics. What a miraculous skill it takes to create such a situation?

Weeser, who is in Asia, also thinks things are magical. In recent years, many enterprises in the Yangtze River basin have come to him for help, and Wei Ze has not hesitated to help these units. In addition, Weeser does not know much about the specific data of the country. It is said that all the data shown to Weeser has been reviewed by some people. This is inevitable, and Weser ignores it.

Judging from the data alone, Weeser can't understand how inflation came about. In fact, Weeser can understand this economic problem. Since Wang Mingshan left the central bank, the position of the head of the central bank has plummeted.

In Weeser's time, central banks were in a very high position and at the same time took on the heavy responsibility of monetary policy in the economy. It is said that the governor of the central bank has now been reduced to the position of the head of an ordinary ministry under the State Council. Completely overriding the central bank means having money in hand. If you have money in your hand, you will definitely mess around. Weese was convinced.
