Chapter 1 Turkey's Transfer Order (5)
"The person who picked the fruits is here." Lütjens, who was standing on the commander's tower, retracted his gaze, held the military cap on his head and said in a hurry: "Look, Sileme, your efforts will eventually be cheaper for the British."
The small traffic boat leaned on the Barbarossa-Haileding and put down the gangway. With the help of sailors and cables, Turkish Navy Minister De Kimir Pasha and several British naval advisers boarded the old-fashioned sea defense ships one after another.
"Major General, why are you here?" The belated otaku raised his frozen cracked right hand, stopped for a moment on the brim of the felt hat, and lazily gave an inappropriate military salute to his nominal boss, Major General Limpus, the chief adviser of the Turkish Navy.
"Captain Silem, today is the day of artillery assessment. I'll inspect your training results..." Silem's neglect made Major General Limpus feel quite unhappy. The British are always happy to show their gentlemanly demeanor in front of outsiders. The Major General snorted coldly, and his right hand wearing white gloves swept over his forehead slightly, symbolically replied with a bow, and said with a condescending attitude.
From a historical perspective, the Anglo-Saxons were branches of the Germans. From a blood perspective, the British royal family and the German royal family had similar bloodlines. From a modern history, before the German Emperor William II ascended the throne in 1888, Germany and Britain had a very harmonious diplomatic relations and civil exchanges.
Of course, the evil between Germany and Britain cannot be completely blamed on the German Emperor. The Baghdad Railway Incident, the Kruger Telegram and the Boers War, the extreme German Emperor, the aggressive Ocean Fleet, and John Bull had hundreds of reasons to dislike the German Hans. On the contrary, the Germans also saw the arrogant and unreasonable German Empire, and the Germans also hated Britain quite a lot.
In fact, the German Otto-Liman-Von Sanders Army Consultant and the British Limps Navy Consultant in Turkey have a good cooperation, and the two have maintained a good personal friendship. However, the situation is somewhat different within the navy. Whether it is the dialectical relationship between the German and British navy and the dispute over the Turkish navy's right to speak, the German and British consultants are in a state of harmony on the surface and resting in private until death.
"Captain Silame, you have received the documents issued by the Navy." The German-English naval arms race continues to this day. The two most powerful fleets in human history, the two human fleets, the two humans' most powerful fleets in history, have been facing each other across the sea. It is already a pattern of life and death enemies. Alfred von Tirpitz, who had been in love with each other for a long time, and the grudges of John Abathnot Fisher for more than ten years are known to everyone in Europe. Even Heidi Silame and David Betty, who led the other side as their confidant, have some distance from each other.
When the navy members of the two countries met, they were mostly sparks of passion. Some of the untrue Navy Minister Dejimere Pasha stood up and smiled dryly to ease the deadlock: "The Sultan Ottoman I is expected to be in service in the second half of this year, but its crew is not fully equipped. You also know the mess of the Ottoman Navy. General Limpus and I tried every means but still couldn't gather a thousand sailors. Rauff suggested to me that a group of trained sailors were drawn from the Heiding-Barbarossa, and I had to come here..."
Since mid-January, the construction workers of the former Rio de Janeiro battleship, which had lost their jobs, were summoned by the fire. The super-dreadnought, which has been renamed Sultan Ottoman I, is expected to be launched in July to install weapons and conduct sea tests. The sailors who equipped Sultan Ottoman I, are gradually put on the agenda, which is more difficult than building the "Seven Turrets Holy Relic".
The navy is a technical branch, far from being able to handle Turkish sailors who have been trained for a long time and the country fishermen who cannot tell the word. The newly appointed British naval adviser General Limpus and the Sultan Ottoman I, the captain of the necessity of the Turkish Navy, were plundered in the scrap metal Turkish Navy, and then twisted among the civilian officials of the Navy Department. They even followed the Black Sea deep into the fishing village in the Black Sea, but still failed to equip the Rust with a thousand rated crew. Just when the British consultant was so anxious that he couldn't think of it, Raush finally remembered that there was a Turkish Navy and a Barbarossa-Hailedin.
"Raoff?"
Hearing Rausu's name, Wang Heidi's pupils unconsciously contracted, and she turned her head to look at Rausu. The Turkish national hero seemed to be a little short of breath and lowered his head and dared not look at Wang Heidi.
"Minister Dejimir Pasha, as an adviser to the Turkish Navy, our responsibility is to train officers and soldiers who can operate modern warships for the Turkish Navy. As for the distribution of these sailors, it is Turkey's own business." Heidi Silem was silent for a moment, and reached out to pull Lütjens, who had a gloomy face and reluctantly, and asked him to get the roster of officers and soldiers of the Heidien.
Under the intimidation of the otaku, the sailor training on the Barbarossa-Haileding sea defense ship was very serious. After all, they all hoped to serve on those two super-dreadnoughts, become the dream lover of Constantinople's girls, become the sea guards of the Ottoman Empire and even the pioneer of expanding territory. The first-time crew of the Barbarossa-Haileding sea defense ship was drawn, and the sailors who received the order were filled with tears and cried with joy. The sailors who were not drawn were as if they were lost.
"It would be fine if that rude boy Rauf shook his tail and begged for mercy on the British, but he even slapped you in front of him. You still treat him as a friend!"
The training ended early. Taking advantage of the light of the evening in Istanbul, the otaku and Lütjens stepped on the beachside path full of fallen leaves and walked towards the apartment. Lütjens kicked the falling leaves from time to time, splashing a lot of flying sand and stones. In a short while, he cursed the dilapidated and poor Turkey, the shameless British, and the paralyzed and black-bellied Rauf.
Silem had a good personal friendship with the Turkish national hero Hussein Rauff-Orbai. During the First Balkan War, the Greek navy blocked the Turkish Strait and occupied the Turkish islands in the Aegean Sea. The young Rauff led the English armored cruiser Hamideye to break through the blockade of the Greek navy, and took the battle to the extreme, making the Greeks' maritime transportation line almost paralyzed. Wang Heidi, who was keen on "asymmetric combat", was quite interested in Rauff's combat practice and often asked him to exchange his experiences, and became familiar with it after a while. The good times did not last long. After the Turkish government decided to buy the Rust battleship in 1913, Rauff's attitude towards Silem had an intriguing change. He was designated as the captain of the battleship of the Sultan Ottoman I, and he obviously alienated Silem and deliberately kept a distance from the German advisory group.
"Who do they think they are? Did they get two super-dreadnoughts with average performance and become a world-class navy? Sufficient naval military expenditure and advanced ships, excellent harbors and favorable locations, strong arms industry strength and well-operated logistics support system, a large number of well-trained active and reserve officers and sailors, well-operated officer training systems and visionary naval strategic policies, and the sea soul of a great power formed in decades or even hundreds of years. These are all essential factors for first-class navy, but what does the Turks have..."
"Lütjens, I said that the Greeks may not be the biggest loser in the Greek-Turkish naval competition, nor may the Turks may not be the biggest winner. The real winner can only be the Germans!"
"The Anglo-Saxons are also Germans!" Lütjens said angrily.
The otaku didn't explain, and smiled unscrupulously at the vast sky, which was quite the aura of Li Dajiu "laughing to the sky and going out, how could we be a weed man?"
"Heidi Sileme!"
A familiar voice came from my ears. The sound was very old and hesitant, always making people feel impatient. The otaku's unrestrained instantly and turned around.
"Mr. Dick, is it you?!" The otaku squeezed out a faint smile and turned his head to look at the big businessman Dick, who had called him dad. An inexplicable emotion occupied his heart and bit his lips silently. The bloodthirsty smell made the otaku's cold heart tremble. He raised his neck and said tremblingly.
In Lütjens's eyes, the otaku is an unscrupulous and honest man, and a pure man in his inner self. Even though he had a bad relationship with his wife, his father and daughter were weak and sick, he had no achievements in his 20 years of career, and even fell into disgrace to join the crisis-ridden Turkish advisory group to extend his military career. The otaku did not say much, but today, Lütjens clearly saw the tears in Wang Heidi's eyes. This strange scene made Lütjens creepy.
"Silem, I'll go back first..." Lütjens knew the tact and fled in panic.
The small garden outside the apartment was quiet, and Wang Heidi tried her best to calm his turbulent emotions, while Dick was organizing his words.
"I have a cargo ship that specializes in the Mediterranean route. It hit the Russian fishermen's boat in the Black Sea. It was a bit troublesome, so I came here to deal with this matter. Thinking of you in Istanbul, I will come and see you." The big belly and fat business tycoon in my memory looked a little thin. He was sitting on the bench of the apartment and seemed a little panicked with a crutch, so he was so entangled that he had no place to put his hands and feet, and explained without any head and mind.
"Mr. Dick, don't worry that I will interfere with Catherine's peaceful life. I'm married and have a lovely daughter. Although the family life is not very harmonious, I can barely stick to it." Wang Heidi paused in a gentle tone, and she mocked ruthlessly in the face of the bleak sunset in Türkiye.
Since his fall in love with the Imperial Navy Minister Tirpitz, the otaku was exiled to the Kiel Shipyard as an optional naval liaison, and his thriving military career came to an abrupt end. In 1900, the otaku was forced to participate in a war aimed at plundering his motherland. The otaku thought it was the darkest chapter in his life, but the otaku only guessed the beginning, but could not guess the ending.
No matter how terrible the nightmare is, it cannot replicate Wang Heidi's experience. In 1900, the otaku received a telegram from Catherine to cancel the wedding. Wang Heidi, who claimed to be tall, rich and handsome, became a laughing stock for a while and was nailed to the pillar of shame. In 1901, the otaku's good friend David Betty got married. The drunk Wang Heidi cried to tears at the wedding of her good friend and was almost swept out by the bride Ethel Field. In 1902, Katherine got married. The person holding her son was Victor, the otakus King Heidi got married, but Anne was the one who entered the bridal chamber.
"When I was smart, I always liked to use civilized sticks. Now I can't stand for a while. I feel tired when I stand for a while. I want to use crutches but don't know how to use them..." The old Dick grabbed the crutches and tried to stand up. He worked hard several times before he succeeded. He was old and struggled to hold on to the armrest of the bench, patted his broken legs and continued with a wry smile: "Silem, why do you want to choose Istanbul, where wars are frequent? Even I, a businessman who doesn't understand military, knows that the Balkans are very dangerous..."
"It is precisely because Turkey is dangerous enough that there is a generous reward!" Wang Heidi's eyes turned red and she said coldly: "Frasey's rheumatism, Shrekt's eye disease, and his daughter Avril's serious illness. If I don't work hard, would I let the whole family drink the northwest wind?!"
"How about retirement? Come back and help me. I will give you a salary of 1,000 Empire Mark every month..." Dick walked over with a cane and asked with a staggering swaying, pinching the otaku's shoulder.
"If it were someone else, I would definitely take off my military uniform and follow him immediately, but if it were you, I can only say sorry!" Wang Heidi gently put away Dick's hand that was put on his shoulder, pulled away and left.
"No! You must promise me!" The old Dick let out a low roar and limped over with a crutch. "Victor is dead!"
