- Surrender¡ªor die.
Marshal Goris has no third way to choose.
July 13, 1942, 12:00 noon.
Marshal Goris, Commander-in-Chief of Istanbul, T¨¹rkiye, made a decision:
Surrender!
He sent Major General Tavas as his negotiator to negotiate surrender with the German army. After a short period of negotiation, Guo Yunfeng accepted the request made by Marshal Golis.
Subsequently, Marshal Golis walked out of the Istanbul Arena, announced his surrender, and at the same time ordered all Turkish troops in Istanbul to stop resisting and surrender to the German forces on the opposite side.
The Battle of Istanbul is over!
This was a terrible and unforgettable battle for the Turks.
From the beginning of the attack to the present, only six and a half hours have passed. Istanbul, a famous city that has suffered countless wars in history but has always stood tall, suffered the most terrible defeat.
Two legions, totaling 60,000 Turkish troops, suffered a disastrous defeat, with most of them killed, captured, and surrendered.
Although this is not particularly outstanding among all the battles of the German army, there is no doubt that it is a very significant battle!
"Twilight of the Gods" has taken a crucial step, and Wang Weiyi's entire decisive battle plan has also taken a crucial step.
Now, the enemy's attention will be completely drawn to T¨¹rkiye
Under the command of Marshal Ernst Brahm, the German army readjusted its strategic deployment and began to frequently mobilize the German army in a more flexible way, and finally took control of the situation on the entire battlefield.
What Wang Weiyi needs is victory!
Use continuous victory to restore the German army to its most glorious stage!
And now, this grand strategy has begun!
"Marshal Ernst, I am honored to report to you that Istanbul has been completely controlled by the German army in accordance with your instructions!"
When the high-spirited General George Kepler stood in front of Wang Weiyi, Wang Weiyi said with a smile:
¡°Congratulations, my general, Istanbul is now ours!¡±
¡°Congratulations, General, Istanbul is now ours!
When General Ernst Brahm said these words, the whole of Istanbul quickly fell into huge cheers.
Those German soldiers who shouted fiercely, those tanks patrolling the entire city mightily, those battle flags waving everywhere
Everything is declaring:
The invincible German army is back!
From now on, they will forget all the shadows of failure, and under the command of General Ernst Brahm, they will climb to a new peak of glory!
This is exactly what Wang Weiyi wants to see: confidence!
German troops can be seen everywhere in Istanbul, surrendered Turkish troops can be seen everywhere, and immigrants from various countries can be seen everywhere.
Istanbul is a very special city.
The first 25 years of the 20th century saw many chaotic situations, marking the death of the Ottoman Empire and the birth of the Turkish Republic. In 1908, the city was occupied by the Young Turks, who deposed the hated tyrant Abdul Khalifa. Meade II. In the Balkan War from 1912 to 1913, Istanbul was almost occupied by the Bulgarians. In World War I, the Gallipoli Campaign launched by the British army to capture the city was defeated miserably, with 200,000 soldiers lost. After the armistice, the city was jointly administered by France, Britain and Italy. After the Greco-Turkish War in Asia Minor and the Russian Revolution, thousands of refugees came to Istanbul.
Therefore, this is a very complex city that is difficult to govern. This is also an important reason why Turkey decided to move its capital to Ankara.
¡°However, this is what Wang Weiyi wants to see.
The more complex the city, the more advantageous it is for the new occupier. He does not have to worry about the constant resistance, attacks, and assassinations in the occupied city.
Immigrants from other countries obviously do not have a particularly ideal life in Istanbul. It is difficult for them to integrate into the local people's special living customs, so they seem to be out of tune with this city.
On the day they occupied Istanbul, Marshal Ernst Brahm issued his first order to the German army:
"Respect the local people, do not allow atrocities to occur, and strictly abide by military discipline."
The German army is famous all over the world for its strict discipline, and now with the orders of Marshal Ernst Brahm, the German officers and soldiers can be more disciplined.
Then, Wang ?Yi also issued a notice in the name of the commander of the occupying forces:
The family property of all people in Istanbul will be guaranteed, the life safety of all people will be guaranteed, and the living customs of all people will be respected to the greatest extent.
Not only that, he also ordered that families who suffered losses in the war can declare their losses to the interim ruling government in Istanbul. After confirmation, they will receive compensation from Germany.
This is a huge rarity.
The occupying forces actually want to compensate the people in the occupied areas for their losses?
Wang Weiyi confirmed that what they heard was correct. On that day, the loudspeaker and radio broadcast the speech of Marshal Ernst Brahm:
"We come for the massacred German expatriates in Turkey. We come to seek justice and morality. We are protectors, not invaders. We are fighters for freedom and fairness. We are not demons who despise all life. Our goal is not Ordinary Turks, but the perpetrators of all the massacres in Ankara. Our goal is not to enslave Turkey, but to give Turkey real democracy and freedom."
This speech gave a very clear message to the Turks:
Germany is here to overthrow Inonu¡¯s ¡°tyrant and ** rule in the name of democracy and freedom¡±!
What made the Turks even more curious and even a little friendly was that Marshal Ernst Brahm first re-delivered his speech in German and then in Turkish himself.
Marshal Ernst actually knows Turkish? This is really surprising.
In addition to controlling Turkey in the shortest time, the purpose of everything Wang Weiyi did was for a very important reason:
He wants to use Istanbul as a template to tell all Turkey that the German army is not terrible. The German army is here to liberate Turkey, not to conquer Turkey!
The Turkish army is not terrible, but the constant resistance that may follow is the most troublesome. It is like it is easy to occupy a nation, but it is too difficult to completely conquer this nation.
" Conveying friendly news and allowing the Turks to eliminate their hostility towards the German army to the greatest extent is the direction in which Wang Weiyi continues to work hard.
Turkey's strategic position is too important. Wang Weiyi does not want to deploy a large number of troops to deal with the endless resistance forces.
If you want to get something, you must first pay
"Are you satisfied with what I have done, Marshal Goris?" Facing his prisoner, Marshal Goris, Wang Weiyi asked in a calm voice.
"Thank you for your efforts, Marshal Ernst." Even though he was the loser, Marshal Goris had to reply so matter-of-factly.
"It may be an exaggeration to say that we are liberators." Wang Weiyi did not seem to want to hide anything: "But Turkey's political stance has always been wavering, trying to obtain the greatest interests between Germany and the United Kingdom. In my opinion, even if Germany does not If you launch an attack, Britain will use military force to deal with you sooner or later. Marshal Goris, do you agree with me? "
Marshal Goris nodded silently
Indeed, Turkey¡¯s wavering policies have encountered a lot of criticism and pressure from abroad and from home.
Marshal Golis has also repeatedly suggested to his close comrade-in-arms President Inonu that Turkey must make its own decision:
Either Germany or the UK!
Otherwise, maybe they will be completely offended by both sides.
But President Inonu still stubbornly rejected Marshal Golis's suggestion. He was completely willing to maintain the current situation.
Now, when Baron Alexson raised this point again, Marshal Goris didn't know how to answer.
"In our announcement, we mentioned the Turkish interim government, but we don't have it yet." Wang Weiyi suddenly said: "I think an interim government should be established immediately to maintain the normal operation of all regions and ensure that it can be restored as soon as possible. Local people¡¯s livelihood, but who do you think I should choose to be the governor of this interim government?¡±
Marshal Goris's heart skipped a beat. He guessed what the Germans wanted him to do.
"And you, Marshal Goris." Sure enough, Wang Weiyi's words confirmed Marshal Goris's guess: "We need you to take up the position of consul."
"No, this is impossible." Marshal Goris rejected the suggestion: "Although I was defeated, I was a marshal personally appointed by President Inonu, and the president and I are close comrades-in-arms. The friendship started from the time of President Kemal.¡±
"Then what???What's the relationship? Wang Weiyi smiled easily: "Marshal P¨¦tain, the president of the French government, was once our enemy, but now he has become our friend." We are friendly to our friends, and we will also be friendly to France or Turkey. Of course, this depends on the attitude of our friends, Marshal Goris. I think that at the critical moment of Turkey's life and death, you should not hesitate. This country needs a more powerful leader. , a leader who is more politically savvy and can lead Turkey to a truly strong one. "
Marshal Ernst Brahm¡¯s words stung Marshal Goris¡¯s heart.
A leader who can lead T¨¹rkiye to become truly strong!
The glory of the once powerful Ottoman Empire! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
