Chapter 37: A Complete Revolution
In order to win the parliamentary elections, the Young Turkey Party issued its program, proposing to implement labor legislation, allocate land, and eliminate tithes. Four months later, the new parliament was convened with Riza, the leader of the Young Turkey Party, as the speaker. After coming to power, the Young Turkish Party retained the throne of Hamid II, but refused to carry out its promise to redistribute the land. Therefore, democratic movements of the workers and peasants continued to erupt throughout Turkey.
At this time, Kemal, Ozturk, and Oli are taking their soldiers to enjoy the warm sunshine and gentle sea breeze of the Aegean Sea. A small part of the current Turkish army is in the hands of the Young Turkish Party, and most of it is being returned to the government. There are also some old troops in the hands of the king and nobles. There is no unified command at all. Therefore, in the past four months, Kemal Apart from incorporating Ozturk's troops, the troops never received any more orders. As the saying goes, they don't know each other without fighting. Kemal, Ozturk, and Oli, a revolutionary, an old army officer, and a German officer. Although their backgrounds and experiences are different, they have the same outstanding military literacy. Their rebelliousness quickly made them good friends. Cassandra's garrison now includes 2500 men brought by Kemal, 1,200 men from the Ori regiment, 500 men from Ozturk, and the remaining ships under the command of Ozturk. Being forgotten is a leisurely life, but the provision is pitiful. Fortunately, Ozturk has long been accustomed to this kind of life. A few years ago, he took soldiers to open a farm and was basically self-sufficient. In addition, there is a small port here, and Chentian also keeps shipping some supplies from Germany. Their small days are quite enjoyable. After a long period of training, the coordinated operations between the three units have also been greatly improved.
The soldiers built a medium-sized airport to the north of the Kassandra Fortress. The planes were still the five Sky IIIs, but the pilots had been changed. "Land Angel" Fritz and the previous pilots who had received practical training have been transferred. Back in Germany, they will help aircraft engineers design more suitable aircraft for combat, and the military school graduates from the Orly regiment will also return to China. They will bring a lot of precious valuables to the German army that has not experienced war for decades. Practical experience.
As far away as Chentian in Germany, he didn't have that leisure. On the secret test field in Königsberg, he was getting out of the turret of the first tank prototype "Stone", and his activity was almost torn apart by the bumps. , With a happy smile on his face. The "stone" is riveted by homogeneous armor plates. The total combat weight is 9 tons, the vehicle length is 6 meters, the vehicle width is 2 meters, the vehicle height is 2.4 meters, the maximum road speed is 15 km/h, the maximum travel distance is 80 kilometers, and one door is 37mm. Caliber artillery, armor thickness is 10-30mm. Because the Maxim heavy machine guns are too cumbersome and the Madsen light machine guns are too slow to fire, the engineers did not choose them as "stone" machine guns. Instead, they installed the weapon research room designed by Chentian and the arms dealer. Another machine gun-"Firebird", a light machine gun that uses rifle bullets and ammunition chains to feed ammunition and has a firing rate of 400 rounds per minute. Although this machine gun is a water-cooled machine gun designed for "stone", at the request of Chentian, the "Firebird" was also improved into an air-cooled light machine gun for infantry. In the test, this infantry weapon performed well. The disadvantage is that the barrel temperature is too high after long-term high-speed shooting. Based on his own impression of MG-42, Chentian asked the designer to use the "Firebird" machine gun for infantry to make technical improvements and use replaceable barrels. Subsequently, Chen Tian took the 10 infantry "Spitfire" trial-produced to Turkey, hoping to let the Ori Regiment test the "Firebird" in actual combat.
At Cassandra's airport, a large biplane with two engines stopped slowly.
"Oli! How are you doing?" Chentian led Lisa out of the cabin, and waved to Oli and the others from a distance.
"Jiji, it's nice to meet you! You brought my wife here too!"
"Yeah! We are here for vacation this time, and none of us have been in the sun on the beaches of the Aegean Coast!" Chen Tian shook hands with Kemal and others one by one.
"Your Royal Highness, Madam Prince, welcome you!" Kemal glanced at their plane several times when he spoke. "Your Royal Highness, can this plane really fly here from Germany?"
Chentian looked back at the newly put into production "Day Goose II" aircraft. It has a closed cockpit and has a range of more than 1,000 kilometers, but it is still not enough to fly here directly from Germany. They set off from Königsberg halfway. Stopped in Vienna and refueled, and it took more than two hours to get here.
"General Kemal, this aircraft has a long range, but we still need to refuel halfway to get here!" Nevertheless, the huge fuselage of the "Dayan II" still envied Kemal.
After greeting everyone, Chentian asked the soldiers to lift the things from the plane.
"Come on, let everyone see some good things!" Chentian took out a "Firebird" and shook it in front of everyone, "How about? It looks good! Let's find a place to try!"
With the help of a soldier, Dang Chentian lay on the ground and used the "Firebird" to shoot out 150 rounds of ammunition full of bullets in half a minute. Everyone looked at the sieve-like target in the distance with their mouths wide open. Boss.
"Oli, give me an egg!" Chen Tian got up, patted the dust on his body, and stretched out his hand in front of Oli.
Ollie looked at Chen Tian in surprise, while taking out an egg from his pocket.
"I know you will bring the egg!" Chen Tian took the egg and smashed it on the barrel of Firebird.
Zizi...
The egg cooked quickly, and then became charred and black, and everyone closed their mouths at the same time.
"Now this weapon is still a little flawed! But Ollie, I still want to let your troops try this machine gun!"
"Jigi, this weapon is not available here for the time being!" Oli looked at "Firebird" and shook his head vigorously.
"Yes, your Royal Highness, although there is a riot now, the opponents are ordinary people, and they can scare them away with a rifle!" Kemal explained, but his eyes were kept staring at the small but powerful "Firebird" ".
Chentian looked at everyone's eyes and picked up the machine gun. "It costs 5,000 marks. Would you like to buy two to go home and play?"
Kemal and Ozturk's eyes instantly shifted to other places, and Chentian and Oli met and smiled.
A week later, just as Chentian and Lisa were enjoying the sun on the beach of Kassandra, news came from Thessaloniki. The workers, peasants and part of the army there were strongly dissatisfied with the nationality issued by the ruling Young Turkish Party. Autonomous policy, large-scale riots were held in the city. At present, the rioters will occupy most of the city. However, government forces immediately surrounded the city and asked Kemal to lead troops to attack the city from the port.
"His Royal Highness, what should we do now?" In the meeting room, everyone looked at Chentian.
"Uh...I'm here only for vacation. It should be decided by your highest commander, General Kemal! I'll just listen to it!" Chen Tianchao Kemal nodded.
"According to the existing ships, we can only transport 800 soldiers at a time, so I think our task is to occupy the port and dock of Thessaloniki and stay there!" Kemal looked at everyone, and then said: " This time I am going to mobilize my two battalions there, and General Ozturk is in charge of the ships for this operation!"
The crowd did not speak.
"Then, Your Royal Highness and Lieutenant Colonel Ollie, do you want to participate in this operation?"
"Why not? Lisa and I have long wanted to visit Thessaloniki!"
"His Royal Highness, but it doesn't seem to be safe there. If the rebels bombard us with artillery..." Ozturk still has lingering fears about being bombarded by Oli last time.
Chen Tian did not speak, but waited for Kemal's opinion.
"I think this operation is different from the last time we attacked Thessaloniki. This time it is just a riot by ordinary people and some troops. It is not certain whether large-scale battles will occur!" Kemal thought for a long time. He felt that the possibility of a peaceful settlement of this matter was great after all.
In the evening of the same day, the two battalions of Kemal boarded 4 transport ships, and Chentian, Lisa, Kemal, Oli, and Ozturk took the only destroyer. They were on the two shore defenses. The gunboat escorted to Thessaloniki.
At dawn the next day, they arrived at the port of Thessaloniki.
"Wow... it's beautiful!" Lisa stood on the deck and watched the sun slowly rise from the sea. The entire harbor was bathed in a soft morning light, everything looked so beautiful!
"I have seen sunrises all over the world. The beauty here is especially beautiful!" Chen Tian recalled seeing the sunrise from different places when he was sailing around the world. For this world, every time the sun rises represents a new hope .
Snapped...
The sound of gunshots in the distance cut through the silence, and also pulled Chentian back from his memories.
"Look at the pier!" The sailor on the watchtower suddenly shouted.
Chentian took Lisa back to the command room in a hurry.
"His Royal Highness, there is a fierce firefight on the pier! We are trying to figure out the situation there, and the soldiers are ready to land!"
"General, you are the commander here, you don't need to report anything to me!" Chen Tian took the telescope that Kemal handed over. There were chaotic crowds everywhere on the dock, and the gunfire became more and more intense. When they got closer and closer to the dock, Chen Tian realized that there was a one-sided situation, and the soldiers of the government army were shooting at the crowd in an organized manner.
"Kemal, what's the matter? Those people are unarmed people, why are the army still shooting at them!"
Kemal did not answer, but rushed outside the command room and shouted loudly: "The soldiers are ready to go ashore to maintain order. No shooting is allowed without my order!"
"Oli, let our soldiers prepare the'Firebirds' on the ship's side!" Chen Tian brought a platoon of the Ori regiment and 5 "Firebirds" this time.
"Yes! But we are not going to shoot at the crowd!" Ollie looked at Chen Tian with a little doubt.
"Of course not! Didn't you see women and children in the crowd? Tell the soldiers to use machine gun firepower to separate the Turkish soldiers from the civilians, and shoot as far as possible into the open space between them!" Looking at him tightly Lisa with arms, Chentian decided to do his best to stop the massacre, but he didn't have much confidence in whether this could stop the Turks.
Kemal's four transport ships quickly landed, and his soldiers rushed to the dock. Unfortunately, they were too few to completely separate the government forces from the crowd, and the situation seemed even more chaotic. However, due to their arrival, the government forces have stopped shooting at the crowd, although there are still soldiers attacking the crowd with bayonets and butts.
Ta ta ta...
The machine gun on Chentian's side fired, and the dense bullets jumped in front of the Turkish government army, and the soldiers were all stunned.
After waiting for dozens of seconds, the sound of machine guns finally stopped, and a strange scene also appeared on the dock. Turkish soldiers and civilians stood in place, staring at Chentian. The concentrated shooting power of 5 machine guns suppressed everyone.
Kemal also breathed a sigh of relief, standing on the bridge and shouting loudly: "I am Turkish Brigadier General Kemal! I order everyone to stop! No one can attack the other side!"
The rioters and government soldiers occupied both sides of the pier, separated by Kemal's troops. Kemal ran to the government army to communicate with their commander.
"Huh...finally stopped!" Chen Tian hesitated, the last thing he wanted to see was the massacre of the people.
When Kemal went back, the government army had already begun to retreat, and the crowd gradually dispersed. At first, the citizens here just held demonstrations. The government sent troops to block the streets. Later, they shot the crowds. The demonstration turned into a riot. Some soldiers were also involved in being dissatisfied with their payment owed. The government troops were driven out the day before. Urban area. However, this group of soldiers had already surrendered out of the city under the leadership of the officers at night, but when the government soldiers entered the city in the morning, they encountered the citizens who were preparing to demonstrate again. The citizens thought that the army was here to arrest them and did not know. The soldiers thought it was these people who drove themselves out of the city the day before, and there was a fierce conflict. When Chentian and they arrived at the port, the citizens had been forced to retreat to the dock by the army.
"General Kemal, I didn't expect your country to be so turbulent. It seems that a complete revolution is needed!" Looking at Kemal, Chen Tianyun said in a profound way.
"A complete revolution?" Kemal raised his head, and after a long time, he nodded firmly.
Two months later, the "Muhammad Alliance" controlled by the reactionaries and the "Free Alliance" of the commercial comprador class successfully launched a coup, the Young Turkish Party began to rebuild the army, and the Turkish civil war broke out again. With the support of Chentiandi, Kemal also began to independently enter the Turkish political arena.
