Capt. Faruk Bey:
Captain Faruk, Izmir, you summoned me sir.
Minister of Military Affairs:
My son, you haven't saluted English military police officer Lt. Miller last night in Beyoglu is it true?
Capt. Faruk Bey:
True sir.
Minister of Military Affairs:
I guess you hadn't seen him, thats why you didn't salute him isn't it my son?
Capt. Faruk Bey:
No sir. I had seen him. His rank was lower. According to the army traditions, he should have saluted me first.
Minister of Military Affairs:
There is no tradition left my son. Those men are using every advantage of their victory. They sent a protest about the event this morning. It is not time to cause issues. Find Lt. Millet as soon as possible and apologize him.
Capt. Faruk Bey:
Will I apologise him?
Minister of Military Affairs:
Yes apologise and let this one go.
Capt. Faruk Bey:
Look Pasha, I was a lieutenant in Balkan War. I became a first lieutenant in Canakkale, captain in Syria. There are rights of thousands of ghazis and martyrs on every rank of mine. It is a duty of honor of mine to protect their rights. Forgive me. I can't apologize the English lieutenant.
Minister of Military Affairs:
Captain, you didn't understood I guess. I order as the Minister of Military Affairs.
Capt. Faruk Bey:
I did sir. [pulling off the ranks from the uniform] . From now on I am free not to obey your orders. With your permission Pasha, your excellency. [the higher ranked war committee officers salutes him as he leaves the room]
