After the beginning of the Turkish civil war, the reactionary army once had the upper hand, while the Youth Turkish Party's army was in a defensive position. Out of extreme disappointment with the Youth Turkish Party, Kemal established a new party himself - the Turkish Democratic Party. In the early stages of the war, he announced that he would alliance with the Youth Turkish Party to fight against the Turkish government forces. As the war continued to heat up, Chen Tian recruited two more groups of retired veterans in East Prussia. At this time, the troops he sent to Turkey had reached more than 4,000 people, 15 aircraft, another 30 pilots and nearly 100 maintenance, technicians, weapons and ammunition were also continuously transported from Germany to Cassandra.

What Chen Tian was facing was the huge military expenditure of the mercenary regiment. He looked at the account book helplessly. His investments had already begun to turn losses into profits as a whole, especially the aircraft factories, Thomas Post Office and tractor factories, which could bring him millions of marks of income every month. However, as the scale of the war in Turkey expanded, military expenditures and pension expenditures also increased. If the war continued for a long time, his account book would be even more ugly.

"Zach! I really want to rob the bank!" Chen Tian grabbed Zach's shoulder and shook it hard.

"Your Highness, I am in my sixties, so don't bother me like this!" Zach looked at Chen Tian like a poor rabbit. Due to his age, he was ready to retire.

"Then why don't we print fake money! Print fake pounds, fake francs, and holiday yen?" Chen Tian scratched his head hard, but he really couldn't think of any good way. Originally, war was a huge consumption for a country's economy, let alone having to bear it.

"Your Highness, don't blame me for being too talkative! Your investment situation is already good, why should you participate in the Turkish war? They are so far away from us, and even if they fight, it has nothing to do with us!" Zach said with some pain when he looked at Chen Tian's appearance.

"Zach, you don't understand! With my identity and personality, I am not suitable to participate in German politics at all! Being able to cultivate my own power in Turkey is very important for my future and for Germany!" Through Thomas' intelligence agency, Chen Tian had long learned that the crown prince's focus was on the German politics, with many followers and ears, and it was difficult for him to make a difference in politics, so he had to find another opportunity for development. Kemal's arrival gave him hope. This man not only had outstanding military talent, but also a talent for internal affairs. Compared with Lenin and the Russian Revolutionary Party, Kemal was a more trustworthy ally, so Chen Tian decided to invest in this potential stock with all his might.

Thinking of Lenin, Chen Tian began to worry about another thing. Lenin left in Germany to avoid the wanted by the Russian government, it seemed that he was a bit like a wolf entering the house. This guy not only developed his own power here, but also instilled communist ideas into the German mass class, which caused workers' strikes from time to time in East Prussia in the past two years. Chen Tian worked very hard to settle these strikes, but the capitalists of East Prussia had already complained about this. He had to ask Lenin and clearly told him that political activities were not allowed in Germany in the future, otherwise the covenant between them would be abolished, and the workers' movement in East Prussia calmed down. This incident also reminded Chen Tian that the German emperor was so-called revolution in the world war in the past.

Those who were forced to step down could not only care about the economy and military, but also the mass base would also start to start. Since last year, he began to increase the welfare status of farmers and workers in East Prussia, including reducing working hours, increasing basic wages, building welfare facilities, reducing agricultural product tax rates and subsidizing farmers' incomes. At the same time, in order to take care of the interests of capitalists, Chen Tian had to let the East Prussian local government and even himself subsidize capitalists, such as reducing taxes from factories with good workers' treatment. In this way, workers, peasants and capitalists were satisfied, but the income of the East Prussian local government decreased, and even he himself spent a lot of money on it. It was in this case that the poor prince was worried about money.

Kemal, who was far away in Turkey, was even more depressed. His troops had grown to more than 10,000 people, and the soldiers' pay was a considerable amount of money every month. Fortunately, Chen Tian was still providing financial assistance to him. But this was not a long-term solution. Moreover, after leaving the Youth Turkish Party, all the costs of hiring the corps will be borne by himself. In addition, it took several months for German materials to bypass the Strait of Gibraltar and cross the entire Mediterranean before they could arrive. Aircraft transport requires refueling in the middle of the journey, and it is impossible to air transport a large amount of ammunition. The problem before him was to occupy a base that could provide supplies and ammunition as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the cities around Cassandra were under the control of his ally, the Youth Turkish Party. This geographical location was very beneficial for training the new army, but it was not conducive to developing its own territory.

A whistle of a ship awakened Kemal, who was scratching his head, from his thoughts. Through the window, he saw a German ship slowly approaching the dock, but there were two black things behind the ship, and someone was climbing out of the two things that looked like ships but were not ships. He rubbed his eyes and found that this was indeed not his illusion. He quickly put on his coat and ran towards the dock.

By the time he arrived at the dock, many soldiers were already watching, and Oli was greeting the people who had climbed out of the two strange boats.

"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, this is..." Kemal asked strangely.

"Let's go back and talk in detail!" Oli pulled Kemal and the man quickly back to Kemal's office.

"Philip Schonel, a German naval captain, belongs to the German Baltic Squadron submarine force, and is ordered to come and accept the command of Lieutenant Colonel Oli!" The man took off his poncho jacket and exposed the German navy's uniform.

"Kemal, the commander here! Those two are what you mentioned as submarines?"

"Yes! These two are U-shaped submarines that we just launched last year, numbered U-006 and U-007!" Philip stood there and replied.

"Can they really dive completely into the water?" Kemal is far less familiar with submarines than aircraft.

"Yes, General! Our U-shaped submarine can dive to a depth of 30 meters and is equipped with three torpedo tubes, two on the head and one on the stern. A total of 10 torpedoes can be carried on the squad. The transport ship that came with us also brought 30 torpedoes."

"They... can fire torpedoes underwater?" Kemal's eyes widened.

"Yes, we can attack with torpedoes without being noticed by the enemy!" Philip replied proudly with his chest.

"Captain Philip, don't mind telling us about the tactics of submarines!" Kemal walked to the window again, looked at the two submarines at the dock, and listened to Philip's explanation, but he remembered another thing in his heart.

Currently, most of the Turkish navy is in the hands of the reactionary "Mohammed Alliance" and the "Freedom Alliance" of the commercial comprador class. They are the richest nobles and merchants in Turkey. Their merchant ships frequently travel in the Aegean Sea between Turkey and Greece. Because several Turkish Navy cruisers and destroyers were cruising in the Aegean Sea, Kemal had never had the idea of ​​these merchant ships before, but the arrival of Philip and his submarine gave him a new idea and a good idea to get rich.

After conducting detailed plans, Kemal and others decided to attack and rob the reactionary merchant ships.

In order to obtain the activities of Turkish merchant ships and warships, three flight teams of the mercenary regiment conducted a week of reconnaissance at the exit of the Dardanelles 100 nautical miles southeast of Cassandra. In the end, they targeted the first robbery on the Turkish merchant ship "Heral".

On a clear evening, the captain Bernd in the captain's room of the "Heral" was holding his big pipe and looking at the vast sea between the North Sporades and Limnos. The "Heral" is a steam-powered merchant ship with a displacement of 7,000 tons, mainly traveling between Istanbul and Athens. The owner is a wealthy Turkish merchant and a member of the ruling "Freedom Alliance". Bernd knew that such a ship's cargo was worth at least millions of pounds, but he never worried about any accident. Not only because of dozens of fully armed crew members and several machine guns on the ship, but also because of the two most powerful cruisers in Turkey, Bursa and Erelli, and several other destroyers, it seems that no thief dared to challenge the fleet of this Turkish Navy.

Two nautical miles to the left of the "Heral", under the calm sea, there were eyes staring at the Turkish merchant ship full of money and Greek cargo. Captain Philip quietly watched "Heral" coming towards him, calculating the speed and direction of the other party. Suddenly he closed the periscope and shouted loudly:

"Put off the periscope and float up urgently!"

Woo... Woo...

The alarm sounded in the submarine sounded shrillly, and the red wall lights were also flashing and urging the crew to act quickly.

"Quick! Go to the front deck and prepare the artillery!" Philip calmed down and ordered a series of commands. This U-shaped submarine was equipped with a 75mm rapid-fire gun on the front deck to deal with small unarmed ships.

The crew members of the "Helal" watched in horror as a huge "whale" suddenly floated on the seabed, but the lines of this "whale" were particularly smooth and a large "fish fin" grew on its back.

"Oh my God! What is that?" Byrd saw from the telescope that it was not a whale at all. Someone kept crawling out from inside, uncovering the thing covered with the canvas in the front of the thing. It turned out to be a cannon. The cannon's muzzle quickly turned and quickly aimed at him. Seeing that the muzzle turned red, he closed his eyes tightly. "Bless Allah!"

After two guns, Captain Philip grinned and smiled as he looked at the crew members on the "Helal".

"Signal soldiers, flag-tell them that we are Aegean pirates, let them abandon their ships!"

Soon, while praying to Allah, Bernd left with his sailors.
Chapter completed!
