Chapter 1308: Churchill's Special Envoy (Gal. 1)
Gracioulu wanted to take refuge in Germany, he knew deep that if Turkey wanted to rise, it could not do without the surrounding environment, and Turkey and the Soviet Union were feuding, and in this situation, Turkey obeyed Germany and gained more territory, isn't it good news?
Anyway, with Turkey's own capabilities, it will not be able to protect Istanbul well, and it will not be able to monopolize the Black Sea straits, so what is wrong with handing it over to the Germans?
However, not everyone thinks so, in their eyes, the independence of Turkey, which the father of the nation won with great difficulty, because of the intervention of Germany, which led to a serious violation of their sovereignty, is a traitorous act.
Freedom or death!
The two sides formed two factions,-for-tat, arguing in the conference room, and at this moment, Sarajolu received a message.
"Colonel Menzies is here." Sarajolu said.
When he said that, the room fell silent again.
Who is Colonel Menzies? He was sent by Churchill.
Although Britain has failed, and although Churchill is now nowhere to be found, he is still holding high the British flag with King George VI, hoping to fight back one day.
It was obviously not possible to rely on their own strength, so they had to fight for more strength, and Colonel Menzies, who was sent by Churchill to Turkey to make contacts, was Churchill's special envoy.
Colonel Menzies had been in Turkey for a year, and Churchill's will was conveyed through Colonel Menzies, as well as the news from the American side.
If Turkey wants to maintain a strategic balance and develop in the gap between various major powers, it can only be left and right, and now, the British must have known that Germany was putting pressure on Turkey, so they hurriedly sent people to be lobbyists.
"Let him in." Inonu said.
Colonel Menzies did not wear a military uniform, he was not even dressed like an English gentleman, and when he walked in, he was almost like an ordinary Turk.
For a year, he had to disguise himself in order to survive in this terrible world, and at the same time, Colonel Menzies knew that today the time had come when he had to use his eloquence to persuade Turkey not to follow Germany.
For the British, this is also an opportunity, the Germans are playing prestige everywhere, they will hit a wall after all!
"Guys, I've just heard about what happened in the Aegean Sea, so I'm here quickly." Colonel Menzies said: "The Germans are arrogant, they think that Germany is the maker of the world order, everyone has to listen to them, if Turkey obeys today, then tomorrow, Germany will ask Turkey to send troops to fight the Soviet Union with them, what will Turkey choose?" ”
Colonel Menzies's opening remarks struck everyone's heart, and now Turkey is worried about this, and the Germans' demands are endless, until Turkey is completely turned into a German servant state, and loses its independent status, how can this be agreed?
Only Graciolu was there to express his displeasure in a strange manner: "Colonel Menzies, you are so right, this is how you British chose, so now? King George VI, can he still live the life of a royal family? ”
At that time, Britain raised tigers and planned to bring disaster to the east, and raised Germany stubbornly, and as a result, Britain was wiped out. You are a messenger of destroying the country, what convincing power do you have when you speak?
Colonel Menzies was not annoyed, as a diplomat, he had to put his task first, and if he was annoyed in the event of an incident, he would not be able to complete it.
Besides, what the other party said is really the truth.
"At that time, it was Germany that attacked Britain with all its might, but now it is different, Germany is attacking the Soviet Union with all its might, Germany simply does not have the ability to start a new war in other directions, look at Africa, the armed forces against Germany have gradually become stronger, but German Field Marshal Rommel, who is still living in the Middle East guarding the yellow sands day by day, they cannot control the whole world at all."
Colonel Menzies looked at Graciolu: "Further, you can still hold on, take a step back, you will lose everything, if Turkey does not yield to Germany's obscenity, we are willing to organize a volunteer army in Turkey to jointly fight against German aggression, we will get military support from the United States, the Germans simply have no ability to organize a new war in Turkey, they will definitely be defeated, in this way, Turkey will set a new example in the whole world and restore the glory of the original Holy Roman Empire!" ”
This sentence still has a drum momentum, and everyone present has a longing in their eyes.
If there is support from the United States, it will be different, there will be a large number of volunteers to join, and there is still hope that Turkey wants to protect their own territory.
Germany was bogged down in the war with the Soviet Union, how could it be so easy to start a new war? Just look at the situation in Greece, Italy suffered a defeat in Greece, and Germany did not intervene, it was just diplomatic representations.
"Now, let's not be fooled by the appearance of the Germans, the USSR had a vast territory, there was a limit to the advance of the German armored forces, and, since the history of history, no European country has conquered Russia, and the Germans will inevitably suffer defeat!"
As long as they can be moved, the anti-German coalition can grow, and Turkey's geographical location is too important to let Turkey fall under German control!
Colonel Menzies began to talk eloquently, and his body gradually moved to the side of the window.
On the opposite side of the government building, there is a clock tower, full of Byzantine antiquity, and at this time, on the bell tower, a man lies there, motionless.
In his hand, he was holding a Mauser Kar98K sniper rifle, which was not much different from the ordinary Mauser 98K rifle, and it could also be said that it was carefully selected from the ordinary Mauser 98K rifle, and its accuracy was quite high!
At the same time, with the 6x scope added to it, it can shoot enemies from a long distance.
Of course, it was on the battlefield, but now, in the center of the Turkish capital, he is aiming at the people inside the Turkish government building.
In his scope, the target finally appeared, and when the T-shaped aiming line accurately pressed the target, he steadied his breathing, and at this moment, it seemed that even time had stopped, only his target, which was rapidly growing larger, occupied all of his retina.
Then, he pulled the trigger.
