"By the same, I cannot represent the attitude of the German Empire. I cannot even represent the attitude of Bavaria. Before, I passed on to you, but the words that Your Highness asked me to inform you. Now, you should just consider what I say to me for the Lord. This time I meet, I only care about your attitude. As for the attitude of the Turkish government, Sultan, and Pasha, it is not important." Von Seckert said calmly.

"I don't understand what you mean." Kemal said nervously.

"As I said, literally. Of course, if you don't want to, you can refuse." Von Secker stared at the other party, like a knight facing a stranger who is inseparable from the enemy and the enemy. At this moment, he has to perform his duties, and the past friendship will be put aside for the time being.

"I hope that the Empire and Germany will maintain ally relations. So, I also oppose the Empire's military operations in the Arabian Peninsula, but I am very gentle." Kemal sighed and said.

"What you said is somewhat different from the actual situation, and there is no necessary causal relationship." General Von Seckert said: "First of all, if you want to maintain a close relationship with the two countries, you should not write a letter to your former subordinates asking them to cooperate with American mining activities in the Kirkuk region. You know, this behavior is illegal even in your country. And how do you let Your Highness think of you?"

"Secondly, the fundamental reason why you disagree with the Ottoman military operations on the Arabian Peninsula is that you think the war is not worth the cost. It is not because of Germany's opposition. The fundamental starting point is for the interests of Turkey, not for the relationship between the two countries."

"Am I wrong for the interests of Turkey? I want to maintain the relationship between the two countries for the interests of Turkey, which is not contradictory. As for the letter, I just think that this will make the Kingdom of Turkey more income." Kemal said.

"Is it just for economic benefit?" asked Von Seckert.

"It's purely for economic benefits," Kemal said. "To be honest, the oil extraction agreement we signed with your country is outdated. Americans have better conditions. In addition to the more profits we can get, Americans can also provide us with additional loans, and we have no reason to refuse. This is just economic activity. Your country's previous actions were a bit too much, and using political means to prevent Türkiye from obtaining legitimate interests."

"If it is purely for economic interests, then we will not intervene. Your country can cooperate with companies from France, the Netherlands, and Italy. We do not want to monopolize the oil extraction of the entire Mesopotamian basin. This is the guarantee of the crown prince," said Von Seckert.

"Is Crown Prince Ruprecht's promise?" Kemal asked.

"Yes, Crown Prince Ruprecht's guarantee. Based on the fact that the Crown Prince had a good reputation before, can you believe it once?" asked Von Seckert.

"But the only way to do business with Americans? Is this a restriction?" Kemal said.

"If it's just for making money, then who will do business differently? You know the contradiction between virtues, so why do you have to be so ugly? This practice makes us feel uneasy. This uneasiness cannot be eliminated by your words. We respect the interests of your country. So please consider how the empire looks like?" General Feng Seckert said with a thorn!

"I'm now at home, and these things have nothing to do with me." Kemal retreated.

"It doesn't matter, I just want to discuss some issues with you. I don't care about government-level matters." General Von Seckert did not force him too much.

The first round of the two sides ended, and Kemal learned about Germany or Bavaria's attitude in the Mesopotamian oil fields. That is, Bavaria did not always want to monopolize the Mesopotamian oil fields. As long as American capital is not allowed to enter, Turkey and other countries can cooperate. As for why Kemal believed Von Secker's rhetoric? The reason is very simple. Von Secker could not lie to him on this issue. Unless he did not want to get involved in Bavaria, and as he said, the crown prince's reputation has always been good. Although there was no agreement, Kemal still chose to believe it.

As for von Secker? He naturally knew Kemal's attitude and what he did in a series of events. He even knew that Kemal was at least friendly and neutral in Latin America to limit Germany. However, after giving certain warnings on behalf of Germany, Kemal did not seem to have a significant rebound, that is, on the surface, Kemal could still fight for it. As for how the two sides ultimately positioned, whether it was an enemy or a friend, this question was not something he could make. If Kemal could cooperate with Germany in the subsequent time, he would have the opportunity to go to Bavaria in person and talk to Crown Prince Ruprecht about some things. By then, it was time to decide everything!

"Can we talk about more specific things? After all, it is useless to tell the friendship between the two countries without any reason. Many things need to be implemented to make sense!" Kemal thought for a while and asked.

"What about?" said Von Seckert.

"We want to take back some of the right to roads on the railway," Kemal said.

"You can consider it." Von Seckert's decisive answer surprised Kemal very much.

"It seems that this is not something you can decide, right?" Kemal said with a bad face. In his opinion, Feng Seckert answered such an important issue with little thought and was very frivolous. And as Kemal said, Feng Seckert has no right at all!

"Enverpasha had previously contacted the Imperial Government through the embassy and discussed the matter about railway rights and interests, and the two sides also started some consultations. This time, Prince Albert led a team to visit and would also talk about this matter. So it would be fine to reveal some information to you in advance." Von Seckert said with a smile.

"So that's the case. I'm very grateful for your country's help on the railway issue." Kemal said happily. With this sentence, Kemal's impression of Germany improved. If Germany had given Kemal the impression that it was just cold and powerful, then Germany is a little friendly in Kemal's eyes, and finally has the feeling of some allies! After all, the Germans' approach is equivalent to telling Kemal that they did not treat Turkey as a vassal or colony, but treated it as a normal country.
