[INDENT] The Sublime Porte welcomes the British decision to abandon allies who can not be trusted and feel it further tightens the fantastic relationship between our two empires. We shall not let them down, no matter how great the peril.
We also welcome the German statement and feel encouraged to further extend the railway system into Asia Minor. We are currently gathering material and engineers to reach Dimasq in Syria within the next year. Our engagement contains plans to connect Kuwait, Mecca, Riyad and Sinai.
The Imperial Ottoman Forces introduce new material into their service to henceforth avoid mortifications like the loss of Kars. Both, Army and Navy have recieved a new generation of shells of high armorpiercing performance and stopping power. The infantry and cavalry introduce the Lee Enfield Rifle as new standard weapon.
We recently succeeded to take German engineers into our service to develop a self-propelled vehicle (automobile), that can cope with the special challenges in Our Empire. Within five years we will have established an own industry for such luxury goods.
