A confusing plot! NICE!
I always thought that Zaganos and Mahmut is on the same side, but apparently not! I wonder what kind of justification Mahmut gonna use and how Zaganos gonna react to it.
they are on the same side though. the side of Turkiye.
Both know that Turkiye will transition its system in some way because of the unification with baltrhein.
and with that, there will come a political turmoil, and potential civil war.
Zaganos want to stamp this early on by making himself the villain. as evident in chapter 149 where Zaganos said "but this have nothing to do with Turkiye's future".
Mahmut is taking the idealist stance, where everyone can be saved.
different method, same goal.
