"We also have conflicts with Marshal Kemal. After all, Marshal Kemal played a very bad role in his previous contact with Americans, so I don't know how you concluded that we colluded with Marshal Kemal. We are just doing our duties as a former friend to spend the rest of our lives in peace. As for whether Marshal Kemal can escape your pursuit, we don't care, or we don't have the ability to care. Instead of staring at Marshal's family, why don't you find a way to catch or kill the Marshal himself first?" Earl Brown asked back.

"Your reason is not enough to convince me." Sultan said expressionlessly.

"Okay, then there is a reason to convince you enough! To show our sincerity to you!" Earl Brown thought for a while and said. "You think this is OK. We use 300 million marks of weapons and ammunition to exchange for the lives of Marshal Kemal's family and his subordinates! These weapons and ammunition will be handed over to those you trust through hidden channels. These equipment will be used directly to protect your safety!"

Are there many weapons and ammunitions of 300 million marks? Of course, there are many, but the Austro-Hungarian Empire paid for this. After all, the war has ended, and a large number of weapons and ammunitions are either placed in warehouses or prepared to be destroyed. In history, there have been cases in which the French provided hundreds of 75mm fire cannons for the Poles for free, so the Austro-Hungarian Empire really didn't cost much.

But it is different for Turkish Sultan! Now Turkey is in a very chaotic country, with various political parties. Although this time, Sultan and Enverpasha acquiesced the purge of Kemal by Zemalpasha and Letapasha, the two sides are not close. Sultan and Enverpasha are typical royal factions, and they represent the Turkish royal family and the nobles, bureaucrats and merchants who depend on the imperial power.

But Zemalpasha and Letapasha represent the young Turkish party and the extreme nationalism and emerging bureaucratic capital class behind it. The latter actually wants to weaken the imperial power and enhance the power of the party. From this perspective, both sides are also enemies, and they are the kind of people who may also fight after clearing out Kemal.

If Count Brown handed over these materials and ammunition to the Turkish government, the Sudan may not be moved, because most of these things will not fall into his hands, and a large part of them will definitely be transported to the front line first to deal with the Arabs and suppress the rebellion in the Mesopotamians. The remaining part will be obtained by the sects of Zemalpasha and Letapasha, and the last part will be fall into the hands of the Sudan.

Sudan is very clear about what the Young Turkish Party did back then. He is very worried that if the conditions are right, the Young Turkish Party will do it to itself again! Sudan, who is at the core of power, naturally knows the attraction of power to people, and once he has it, he will never give up! Therefore, in order to deal with some people, Sudan must be fully prepared, and the weapons and ammunition obtained for nothing are the best gifts for Sudan!

The Sultan was hesitating. If he hadn't suspected that Bavaria and Austro-Hungarian Empire might have connections with Kemal, then he would not care about the life and death of Kemal's family. Maybe he would just give the Germans a face, let alone the other party showed full "sincereness"!

"His Excellency Sultan, so far, we have been looking for you instead of Zemalpasha because His Majesty Franz believes that you are still our friend. If you and Zemalpasha and others are stubborn on this matter, it will be difficult for us to operate, but as long as we can convince you or any of him, then this matter will turn around. You should thank us for coming to you first instead of others tonight." Earl Brown's words made Sultan shiver like a deep water bomb!

As Count Brown said, today, as long as any of the two factions of the Turkish government let go, it will be different! The Sultan can give a pardon. Zemalpasha, who is directly responsible for this matter, can also announce that "they are threatening to punish others." The reason is very simple. Kemal inherited the mantle of his teacher back then! During the war, he was the commander-in-chief of the Turkish army. If he wants to completely clean up, how much does the Turkish government have to pay? In fact, until now, Sudan and Zemalpasha have also planned to kill chickens and scare monkeys.

Today, if the Sultan rejects the "goodwill" of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, then who can guarantee that Zemalpasha will not be bribed by the 300 million mark of arms? If the latter agrees, then what is the point of his persistence? Zemalpasha will gain huge public opinion and prestige, obtain a large amount of military supplies, and obtain everything that should belong to him! Why should the Sultan throw away his own interests to fulfill his potential enemies?

"I admit, Mr. Ambassador, what you said touched me, but I still feel that your reasons are not sufficient. I need to know why your country and the Kingdom of Bavaria chose me instead of Zemalpasha." Sultan paused and continued: "Your Excellency Earl, think carefully about your words. You are one step away from persuading me now. I don't want your persuasion tonight to fail in the last step! I need a good reason!"

"Your political propositions actually have great differences with Zemalpasha. You are a policy conservative, you are the monarch of Turkey, and you are born with a sense of closeness with Germany and Austria, who also implement the monarchy. You are very satisfied with the dividends and status obtained by the Ottoman Empire after the end of the war, and you are willing to maintain this relationship with Germany and Austria. Although you have some communication with the United States, you are still more pro-German and Austria than Zemalpasha and others." Earl Brown paused and continued.

"But Zemalpasha is different. He advocates the system of vain in the political system. He wants the young Turkish Party to become the only dominant force in Turkish politics. His ambition is greater than you. The entire Arabian Peninsula is just the first step in his expansion. Countries such as Hanzhi and Neizhi are definitely not his end. He even has ambitions for Persia. This ambition is too great, and it even exceeds the scope that the Turkish Empire can bear."

"There are many empires who will die from their ambitions. They were like this in the past and now they are the same. For example, we and Germany, we are still able to continue to advance to Russia in depth, but we know that we cannot control such a vast area because it has exceeded our limits. Therefore, there is a border line between the two sides today. The same is true for the Ottoman Empire. If we have to choose one from you and Zemalpasha, then we would rather cooperate with you." Earl Brown said.
