Chapter 1154: Turkey's Choice

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Fierce artillery fire is bombarding the defense line of the Turkish army, although the Russian 44th Army has only two mountain infantry divisions and one cavalry division, but the performance of these tens of thousands of people on the battlefield is very strong. The 1st Army of the Turkish Army has already had two infantry divisions crippled by them. The rest of the infantry divisions also retreated to the third line of defense in a panic.

The 2nd Army of the Turkish Army is in an even more difficult situation. They were besieged by the Russian 45th and 46th armies. These two armies were stronger than the 44th Army. Although the total strength is still inferior to the 2nd Army of the Turkish Army, their strong combat effectiveness has beaten the 2nd Army of the Turkish Army to the ground.

The commander of the Turkish Army's 2nd Army in Van City, Lieutenant General Mohammed, has repeatedly sent telegrams to the 1st Army and Ankara for help. He said in despair that if he could not get any more reinforcements, the 2nd Army would probably be wiped out within a week.

The sudden change in the situation at the front caught the Turkish government off guard. President Kemal convened senior officials of the government and the military to discuss countermeasures. President Kemal of this plane is in good health and did not die in his fifties like in another plane. It's still alive and kicking. It was also because of President Kemal's reign that Turkey's policy was firmly following the German Empire.

Ankara, President Kemal of the presidential palace has an ugly face. Earlier, at the founding meeting of the Central Powers, he had assured Kaiser Wilhelm III that if the Russian army was to move south from the Caucasus to the Middle East, the Turkish army would be responsible for blocking it. Originally, he thought that he would be able to hold the line by sending two army groups. But now it seems that the situation is far worse than he expected!

"Gentlemen! We have deployed two of the army's most elite armies in the east! However, they are now being defeated by the Russian army, which is less than half of their strength! What the hell is going on? "President Kemal was furious.

You know, in order to achieve the revival of Turkey, he can be said to have racked his brains. A lot of money was spent on the purchase of German-style equipment, and the German officer corps was called in to train the army. Originally, he thought that the combat effectiveness of the Turkish Army could not be compared with that of the German army, a world-class powerhouse. But the arrival of the Russian army should not be bad. But now, it has actually achieved such a result.

The high-ranking military and political officials of Turkey did not say a word. Even the Secretary of the Army and Chief of Army Staff, General Enver. The army is performing so badly, what else does he, the helmsman of the army, have to say?

"Gentlemen, Germany has a great advantage in this war, and they have just inflicted heavy losses on the Russian army on the battlefield of Burussia, destroying more than two million Russian troops. Next year, they will launch a larger-scale offensive to 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 world of the future, it must closely follow in the footsteps of Germany. Otherwise, we will be completely reduced to a small third-rate country. This war is undoubtedly a great opportunity for us. Earlier, I assured the Kaiser that the Republic of Turkey would be able to hold off the Russian army and prevent them from moving south from the Caucasus. Therefore, Germany did not have troops in the Persian Gulf. But now, if Turkey fails to accomplish this task, then what will our German allies think of us? Will they continue to support us as always? President Kemal continued.

The high-ranking officials of the Republic of Turkey know that this time the situation is very difficult. If the Russian army really goes south and shoots the Persian Gulf, or destroys the oil fields of the Persian Gulf. So, how can they explain themselves to Germany? Even if Germany won the war in the future, the Republic of Turkey probably would not have any benefit from it.

"Your Excellency, I will immediately send a telegram to the front line, so that they can stabilize the situation as much as possible. In addition, I will personally lead the 3rd Army to the battlefield. I promise, our army will be able to withstand the Russians! Admiral Enver said.

As the helmsman of the Republic of Turkey's 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 believed that Turkey had gathered three army groups with more than 600,000 people, and if it could not resist 200,000 Russian troops, it would be a joke. With such strength, what qualifications do they have to participate in this world war? Not to mention what to revive Turkey.

President Kemal nodded: "We must do our best in this battle." What we promised our German allies, we must do! Tell the generals on the front line to hold their positions and not to retreat a single step! Whoever retreats without permission will be punished for treason! ”

Everyone can feel the murderous spirit in President Kemal's words. If someone disobeys the order, President Kemal will probably raise the butcher's knife.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Everyone replied.

"In addition, according to the plan of the German General Staff at the previous Allied Conference, we should be armed with 1.2 million men in the war. Previously, we had only three army groups. Now I give the order for further mobilization and the formation of three more army groups. This time, we will not only have to fend off the Russian attack, but also launch a counterattack. Fought in the Caucasus Mountains and let the Russians know that we Turkey are not allowed to be bullied by them either! President Kemal said.

Germany had promised that the benefits of the post-war world would be distributed according to the performance of the Allied members in the war. President Kemal hoped that the Republic of Turkey would be at the forefront of the post-war distribution of benefits. In this way, not only would the Republic of Turkey be able to gain more benefits, but it would also allow the German Reich to see the usefulness of Germany.

The world was too big, and it would be very difficult for the German Empire to rule on its own. The Republic of Turkey could well become a powerful assistant to the German Empire and help the German Empire to rule the world. Of course, this will also bring a lot of benefits to the Republic of Turkey.

Although, further mobilization of the army will require a lot of financial and material resources. But no one dared to oppose President Kemal's decision at this juncture.
