What does a real hero do during the wars(Epic independence realities)1916 1st World War in Canakkale

I want to tell you about very interesting memories which were taken place in my countrie's independence war in very poor and bad conditions. And also waiting your countrie's hero stories.

During 1st World War in 1916 an army officer in the command of Ataturk had to take the vehicle tyres needed by Turkish army against English and French troops which are trying to land Canakkale,Turkey to occupy Istanbul. At that time the merchants of these products are all Jews in Istanbul and they don't think about the independence of Turkey. When the merchant of tyre didn't give him the tyres without money(there is not money, there is not food to feed people at that time) he said that he would bring the money tomorrow and ordered him to prepare the tyres. Then in one night he prepared a fake 100 lira that can't be differentiated by the real one but with one detail. In the real one it was written on the bottom that its value will be exchanged with gold in the central bank. But he wrote the bottom that its value will be exchanged with gold in Canakkale. The meaning of gold in Canakkale was the blood of our heros. Turkish army didn't let any moderner English-French-New Zealander soldier to land on our country and we are safe now here. Thanks to our hero grandpa's and Ataturk.Real money

I always remember this sentence, when I see the name of Çanakkale:

"Çanakkale geçilmez" I think it was the best answer to those who wanted to occupy Turkish lands

I couldn't believe how he could draw this single fake money in one night. It is not a simple money and really it looks like the same. And think about his feelings when finishing his art he wrote a sentence that summarizes all of the nations feeling. This is a miracle story

If a man believes that he can handle something he doesnT request help, does he? In that situation he believed to carry it himself, think about the emotions during that moments. It is at least 150kg.

When a 200 kg load is over your girlfriend accidentaly while you were together. At a glance I think you can move it if you really love your girlfriend and care her much

First right big the "t" of Turk if you are a patriotic Turk. He could achieve this with great believe and adrenaline but after the event he could not do the same but to immortalize they empty the bullet couse it is too much heavy and took the photo. That's why the man is there that's why he is not helping because they are just taking photos not fighting in war . Undersatnd now?
