The Rise of the Empire

"Death is certain? No, no, no, my marshal, don't despair. Since we are here, we have already arranged for you, your family and your loyal subordinates. I am Colonel Karius, and I am now It's your bodyguard." At this moment, Kemal saw a German soldier in camouflage walking towards him.

"Marshal, you are our distinguished guest, so we arranged an air ticket for you. After a while, you and I will take this j6 fighter jet to a hidden airport. After refueling there, you can leave Turkey in the dark. Our first stop will be Sarajevo in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and then you will take the train to Vienna, where you will meet your family. Just a few minutes ago, we have persuaded your wife to take your children to go The Bavarian embassy in Turkey, unless the Turkish government wants to go to war with Germany, otherwise they are safe." Karius said with a smile, the smile on his face was not at all like on the battlefield.

"And what about my guards? Are they also flying away?" Kemal asked.

"Of course it is impossible. We will transfer overnight. Those who support you in your navy have prepared ships for them. You know, there is a naval base near Constantinople, where they can temporarily stay. Then they will also go to Austria-Hungary," Karius said.

"Hehe, the arrangement is really good, I can't refuse, but how do you explain everything here? How are you going to deal with political and diplomatic issues?" Kemal smiled wryly.

"There will be no political or diplomatic issues, because after today, the outside world will think that you are dead, and there will be a corpse with these people who died in battle. There will be some of your belongings on him. We will also admit that you are dead , and someone will come to mourn you. Then you can live in Austria anonymously, of course, you can also go to Germany, France or other countries, but you can’t return to Turkey.” Karius said. "Do you understand what I mean? When you are destroyed as a symbol of Kemal, when the imperial government admits that Kemal is dead, it doesn't mean much to some people whether you are alive or not. They You won't get us into trouble."

"Hehe, then why did you spend so much effort to save me? All the political value in me is gone. You have consumed a lot, and at the same time paid the price of your life, just to rescue me and let me live incognito? I was so moved by Crown Prince Ruprecht's generosity and friendship, I couldn't even believe it was real!" Kemal had an unbelievable look on his face.

"Is it a huge price? Maybe." Karyus still had the expression on Kemal's face that seemed a little out of place and even deserved to be beaten. "There are very few Germans who directly participated in this operation. In fact, your subordinates still don't believe us. Therefore, the casualties are theirs. You really need to think about how to repay them. As for Bavaria's contribution? There must be a lot of money. It’s a flower, but His Highness probably doesn’t care. After all, as the Crown Prince of Bavaria, if you can use this little money to buy back a friend’s life, it’s actually a good deal. Even if it’s just one more person to chat with.”

"alright,

Marshal Kemal, this is not a suitable time for chatting, my comrades will continue to arrange the scene, but can you and I leave immediately? We've been talking for ten minutes. "Karius looked at his watch and said.

"Let's go." Kemal didn't say anything more, he boarded the improved two-seater J6 fighter that was prepared for him. Others were evacuated by land.

This j6 plane could not directly take him out of Turkey, but sent him to another abandoned airship parking lot, where there was a transport plane converted from a twin-engine K6 bomber. And the logo on this plane is actually the Turkish Air Force! And the above operator is actually a Turk! This made Kemal very unhappy.

"Damn it, how many internal support do you have in Turkey? I even doubt whether my army is following the orders of the sultan or orders from Berlin or Munich!" Kemal said to Karius angrily, to be honest, this This behavior deeply stimulated Kemal's national pride.

"Your Excellency Marshal, your coffee." A familiar voice sounded in Kemal's ear again.

"You are Gulda? I know you. You are the first ace pilot of the empire. Aren't you an instructor at the Imperial Air Force Academy? Why are you here?" Kemal said in surprise.

"I was fired." Gulda said with a wry smile. "A lot of people have been laid off, and you can understand that almost every unit you commanded has been wiped out. Whether it's the Army or the Air Force."

"Just kidding, I used to be the commander-in-chief of the entire Turkish army. Do they want to replace all the officers?" Kemal sneered.

"Although this sounds unbelievable, I have to tell you that it is pretty much the same. Except for a small number of troops still on the front line, all the troops in key areas have been cleared. In fact, this kind of The cleanup has started since the end of the war, but it was the Sultan who led it at that time, because Turkey did not need such a powerful force during the war. In the past six months, it has been the Sultan and the Pasha who have led all this. The Pashas have their own plans, And you are a stumbling block, or a possible hidden danger, so everything about you must be cleared, whether it is your influence or yourself! On this point, the Pasha and the Sultan have reached an agreement, and have you done anything? , so everything today is actually not difficult to understand!" Karius explained from the side.

"I don't have any friends, do you have friends in the high-level?" Kemal's words were full of gunpowder.

"We don't have any friends either. If what happened to us today is revealed to other people, then you will die. Look at the people around you, and see who are the people who come to help you. They are all middle and low-level officers. Is it high-level? Either it is left idle, or it is destroyed. I admit that some people in the high-level do provide some convenience for the operation, but they have absolutely no idea what we are going to do." Karius said.

"Why do the Sultan and Pasha want me to die? I don't have much rights anymore, and I have agreed with them on some issues, and even some offending things are done by me, such as in Mesopotamia Oilfield matters," Kemal said.
