Lin Youde carefully looked at the Turks who were looking at him across the negotiation table.

"I've wanted to go to Turkey to meet you in person, Mr. Kemal."

If it were another time and space, Kemal, the father of Turkey, knelt down in 38 years, but Kemal in this time and space still seemed to be in good spirits and looked like he could live for many days.

"Mr. Lin, it's not right for you to say that, no matter what you think, I should have come to see you, you are the overlord of Europe."

The compliment of the father of Turkey in another time and space, Lin Youde listened to it very useful, but he still had to say "I have won awards". After the greetings ended, Lin Youde went straight to the point as always.

"Mr. Kemal, since you have agreed to meet me directly, can I assume that you have made your decision?" Lin Youde paused, and then at the moment when Kemal opened his mouth to answer, he said, "I don't want to hear an answer like 'It's going to depend on your offer', our offer has already been told to you, and we know very well what the UK and the US are offering you. ”

"Mr. Lin, you need Shenji now." Kemal was not intimidated by Lin Youde's skill at all, but pointed out this point directly, "When the British mobilize the Indian goddess and the American goddess comes ashore, you will be at a disadvantage in the comparison of the goddess in the Mediterranean, and you need the Turkish goddess to balance the balance of power." ”

"That's what you saw when you came here, didn't you?" Lin Youde leaned forward slightly, "Mr. Kemal, I'll give you a plan, if you think that I can't do it without you Turkey now, so I will definitely be more willing to spend money than the United States and Britain, you are wrong, very wrong." If you really think like this, you can leave now, go to the United States and Britain, the door is over there, let's go. ”

Kemal had an expression of disbelief that Lin Youde would say this, and he stared at Lin Youde's face, as if judging how much of Lin Youde's statement was true.

Lin Youde leaned back on the chair calmly, and made a gesture to Lydia standing behind him, so Lydia immediately leaned over and lent her chest to Lin Youde as a pillow.

"I wonder," Kemal finally said, "what can you do if we take refuge in the United States and Britain?" ”

"It's easy, you walk through that door, and then you'll know what we're going to do."

In fact, if Turkey suddenly defects to the side of Britain and the United States, Lin Youde will only have one way to deal with it: that is, to instigate the factions in Turkey to overthrow the Kemal government that made this decision.

But Kemal didn't know that.

Originally, the statement issued by the German Foreign Office condemning the British use of doomsday weapons in Cyprus was purely to fool the onlookers who did not know the truth, and Turkey was next to Cyprus, which was very close, and on the day of the incident, I don't know how many Turkish islanders who saw the bad situation ran from Cyprus to Turkey. Kemal is one of the heroes of the 20th century, and he will certainly not be fooled by a diplomatic statement.

But herein lies the problem, Turkey knew that the incident in Cyprus was not the work of the British, but they did not know that the incident in Cyprus was not caused by the Germans, and that was an accident.

In other words, from Kemal's point of view, most of the people will guess that the Germans have a big killing weapon in their hands, and Lin Youde intends to take advantage of this idea.

Now Kemal's hesitation made Lin Youde basically sure that he had made the right bet, so he became more and more calm, and his posture was like saying "If you dare to betray me, I will use a big killer to turn all your Turkish land into Element Zero Mine".

Finally, Kemal showed a yielding expression: "Mr. Lin, you really like to laugh. In fact, all members of our Government and Parliament have agreed to join the Alliance for Human Renewal, and I am only an envoy to convey this to you. The Turkish Divine Queen is ready to join the fight. ”

"Very well, Mr. Kemal."

Lin Youde made a gesture, Lydia was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered what to do in this step, so she hurriedly took out a map of the Mediterranean Sea and spread it on the table.

Lin Youde pointed to the map and said: "We plan to set up the Eastern Mediterranean Allied Forces Command to unify military operations in the Eastern Mediterranean, and the Turkish Army will also be included in the Eastern Mediterranean Allied Forces Command." ”

"Why not the Mediterranean Coalition Command?" Kemal asked suspiciously, "Do you want to divide the Mediterranean into two different theaters of war?" ”

"That's right, because the French intend to lead military operations in the Western Mediterranean themselves. So the Western Mediterranean was handed over to them, and even the German troops deployed in Sicily were under the command of the soon-to-be-established Western Mediterranean Allied Forces Command. And in the Eastern Mediterranean, Germany will dominate the entire military operation. ”

"This ......"

Lin Youde glanced at Kemal and said in a cold tone: "Cyprus will set up a special zone, which will be managed by the commissioner I dispatched, you know what I mean." ”

The implication is that Cyprus is very important to Germany, so don't fight your little calculations, and the Turkish army must act under the command of the German army.

"Well, so what is the future battle plan of the coalition forces in the Eastern Mediterranean?"

"The French offensive from Libya to Egypt is now at a standstill because of the supply problem, their supply lines are simply too long, and we are now supplying the French troops to the front in a difficult way."

The so-called difficult way was copied by Lin Youde from the Japanese Navy in another time and space, the Japanese Navy used destroyers to transport supplies to the troops guarding the island, and when they got to the shore and had nowhere to land, they directly unloaded them on pontoons and other things, and then used human swimming to drag things ashore, sometimes there were shoals, and the destroyers drove to almost stranded places, and then used manpower to carry supplies.

The efficiency of this kind of supply was not ordinarily bad, and the French army was now too close to Alexandria, a fortress that the British had operated for many years, and the Royal Air Force appeared almost every day above the French army, destroying many transport ships and transports on the ground, which exacerbated the supply difficulties of the French army.

After Lin Youde told Kemal about this, he pointed to the eastern shore of the Mediterranean.

"So I'm hoping to attack from this side and approach the Suez Canal. The Divine Queen, which the British had mobilized from India, did not arrive in Egypt so quickly, and the Turkish Divine Queen had enough time to carry out a ground attack and destroy the resistance of the British army. ”

Kemal nodded after hearing this, but immediately reminded: "Mr. Lin, the road conditions on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea are probably much worse than those on the North African coast. There are at least some roads in North Africa. From the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea to the Suez Canal, basically out of Damascus, there are only ancient roads left by the Crusader era, the Ottoman Empire once repaired these ancient roads, but that was three hundred years ago, and then the whole area gradually declined, so the Ottoman Empire also used more sea routes to ensure the supply of the imperial strongholds. ”

"Is it that bad?" Lin Youde raised his eyebrows, "Okay, then we have to make a slight modification to the supply plan, but the basic goal remains the same, we want to control the Suez Canal, at least have an artillery position near the Suez Canal that can cover the canal." We were going to force the British to unload their cargo on the Red Sea coast and then transport it by land to Alexandria and Cairo. ”

"I have no objection to that." Kemal paused, then stared at Lin Youde's face and asked, "Isn't there any other plan besides this?" ”

"No, Mr. Kemal." Lin Youde replied without hesitation.

Of course, it is impossible not to have another plan, but this plan will not sue you. Kemal must have understood this, so he simply nodded and continued: "So, let's sign the formal agreement. ”

So in February 1942, Turkey officially entered the war.
