Consensus was reached on the most important deals, support for the Turkish Al-Shabaab to take power and the sale of the two provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the Croatian-Slovenian kingdom, and the rest was a minority.

The two sides agreed that after Al-Shabaab came to power, Germany would support the Ottoman Empire's bill to raise tariffs, and of course, in return, Germany would enjoy the most favored country treatment, and at the same time it would have to increase trade with Germany and expand the volume of trade.

This was mutually beneficial for both sides, the Ottoman Empire had no tariff autonomy at all, and the Ottoman economy was quite deeply controlled by British and French capital, which is why the French were prepared to exchange their economic benefits in the Ottoman for German concessions during the previous Moroccan crisis.

Therefore, the low tariff led to the outflow of a large amount of capital from the Ottoman Empire, and the local manufacturing industry was strongly impacted, which was also one of the reasons for the empty treasury and weak national strength of the Ottoman Empire.

If tariffs can be raised, it will protect local manufacturing and increase government revenues, which will greatly accelerate the development of the Ottoman Empire and benefit the reform demands of the Turkish Al-Shabaab.

The Germans were able to continue to expand their exports to the Ottomans and squeeze out the markets that originally belonged to Britain and France, even if the Ottomans did not have to worry about buying industrial equipment from Germany.

In addition, Germany will continue to strengthen the military capabilities of the Ottoman Empire, and the two sides will continue to deepen cooperation, and the next step will be not only the army, but also the navy will also send military advisory missions to the Ottomans. Not only that, but the Ottoman side also made a request from Germany to help it build an independent air force.

Historically, the Ottomans were the first country in the world to establish their own independent air force, and although German aviation has developed greatly in this time and space, it seems that the aviation forces still under the army still have to give up the title of the world's first. I don't know if it will be influenced by the Ottomans and will break up with the army in the future.

And in order to further improve the military quality of Ottoman officers, military academies in Germany will begin to accept Ottoman students to help the Ottoman army train officers of the army, navy and air force.

After returning to Istanbul after the pilgrimage, Jochen lamented that it was rare for the inefficient Ottoman army to set the list of the first batch of cadets to go to Germany so quickly, and at the same time saw Mustafa in it? Kemal and Hussein? The name Rauf, the former, who had just made his mark in the Turkish Revolution, was now only a captain; The latter is now unknown.

However, Jochen was pleasantly surprised that the two men would be training in Germany. The latter commanded the British armored cruiser Hamidiya in the first Balkan War in history to break through the Greek naval blockade and break the Greek sea transportation line, so that Greece's shipping was almost paralyzed.

Later, he went to Britain to receive warships as the captain of the 7-turret relic, and was detained in Britain after the outbreak of the war, along with the most elite sailors of the Ottoman Empire, and served as the prime minister of the Republic of Turkey after the war, and served as ambassador to Britain during World War II.

The former is the more famous father of the Republic of Turkey. Jochen was intrigued by the changes in the lives of the two outstanding military geniuses who were known as the "saviors of Istanbul" during the First World War, and their training in Germany.

These collaborations would further deepen German influence on the Ottoman army and squeeze out British influence in the Ottoman navy. The Ottoman government, which was clearly pro-German in history, ordered the 7-turret relict and the super-dreadnought Reissadih from the British. In addition to the fact that the British themselves were much more famous in the international market than the Germans, most of the Ottoman naval advisers hired the British, which gave the British control of the Ottoman naval discourse.

The deal for the purchase of the 7-turret relic, was also made under such circumstances, although it was also true that the 7-turret relic, at that time, was the fastest ship that the Ottoman navy could buy in the world. But British naval adviser Douglas? Major General Gamble's recommendation also definitely contributed to it.

On the one hand, this discourse and influence led to the contradictory pro-German and pro-British positions of the Ottoman Army, which made it want to remain neutral in the early days of the war. Therefore, there was basically no preparation for war, and secondly, the British did not really help the Ottomans to train the navy, so except for the sailors who went to the British to pick up the ships, the Ottoman navy actually had no available people.

Therefore, the Ottoman Navy was sleepwalking in World War II, except for Rear Admiral Su Shun who joined the Ottoman Navy with all the original German crew on the battlecruiser Goeben and the light cruiser Breslau, the entire Ottoman Navy was unusable in World War I. There are no warlike ships, and even the army is inferior.

As for helping the British add 2 warships, and by the way, sending a few million pounds, in the past, it was a trivial matter. Therefore, it would be beneficial for Germany to have the Ottoman navy in control now.

However, the strength of the Ottoman Navy is indeed not on the table, and the Ottoman Empire, which was the fifth largest in the world in terms of naval strength more than 30 years ago, is now completely decayed and dilapidated, and the current Ottoman Navy has the "reputation" of "the Sultan's maritime military camp".

Mark, the British adviser to the Greek Navy in history? Admiral Kohl was supposed to go to work for the Ottomans, but because he believed that "Turks are not born to be sailors". Unable to train a disciplined soldier who could maneuver a modern warship, he turned to the Greek navy, which was "small but very clean and tidy", and as a result, Gamble became an advisor to the Ottoman navy, and then brokered a deal for two battleships.

However, in Jochen's view, there is no one who cannot be educated to become a modern soldier, to put it bluntly, it is not ruthless enough, not enough, Tanzania's black uncle can be manipulated to be the first in the African Army, can't the Ottoman be fucked? Joechen really didn't believe in this evil.

However, the Ottoman navy's current background is too bad, so they have to buy some belongings first. However, before Jochen could bring it up himself, the Ottomans came to the door first.

"Your Navy is ready to buy two Brandenburg-class battleships from our country?" Jochen looked at the Ottoman Admiral in front of him and felt very strange: "Your country's first task now should be to stabilize the situation and restore the economy, right?" Can the government come up with the money to buy two battleships? ”

Jochen did not think about selling warships to the Ottoman Navy this time, first, the Ottoman Navy's domestic situation was unstable, and it was estimated that it had no intention of building armaments, and second, when the Ottoman Navy purchased the Brandenburg class from Germany in history, it was at a time of tense situation in the Balkans, and in order to ensure its superiority over the Greek Navy, it had to apply to Germany for the purchase of ships.

Ottoman Admiral Zemar said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the current situation of our navy is very bad, the navy's ships are weak in combat capability, maintenance is not in place, and attendance is low, and it is difficult to meet the needs of the mission. Now the survival of those old ships can still deter the Russian Black Sea Fleet, and after a while, I am afraid that the Russians on the coastline of our country will come and leave as soon as they want. ”

"Is it that bad?" Jochen was stunned, then thought about it in his head, as if it was really that bad.

Just when Jochen was searching for the cards in the Ottoman navy's current hand in his mind, Zemar, who thought that the German emperor was still suspicious, immediately began to explain: "Your Majesty Joachim, our navy now only has two battleships, the Tefik and the Misudis, Abdullah? Three protective cruisers, HMS Hamid II (later renamed HMS Hamidiya), USS Mechitier and HMS Mehdiyeh, are available, while our self-built Abdul? The Kadir never finished it.

The Russian Black Sea Fleet has four Catherine II-class, the Twelve Apostles, Rostislav, Three Saints, and eight battleships Potemkin, and two more battleships under construction. ”

Listening to Jemar's words, Jochen has also finished retrieving in his mind, knowing how bad the platoon in the hands of the Ottomans is, the strength of the Russian Black Sea Fleet is not a matter at all in Jochen's eyes, the Catherine II class is just an old-fashioned ironclad ship, the Rostislav is just a second-class battleship, the Twelve Apostles and the Three Saints are just coastal defense ships, and the one that really has some combat effectiveness is the Potemkin, and the two Yevstafi-class former dreadnoughts under construction are affected by the Russo-Japanese naval war and the appearance of dreadnoughts, The design was modified during construction, and it simply could not be put into service for a short time.

However, even a fleet of this level was able to destroy the Ottoman Navy, and the Tefik was also only an ironclad ship, and the Missudis was also an ironclad ship, but after receiving a radical makeover from the Italians in 1903, it had a new look, and the Italians' magic transformation skills can be seen here.

However, because the British 9.2-inch naval guns have not arrived for a long time, the main ship of the Ottoman Navy is still equipped with wooden guns, and the real combat effectiveness is only 12 6-inch naval guns.

And the self-built Abdul? The design standard of the Kadir is acceptable, 8,100 tons, equipped with four 11-inch naval guns, but it can fight the Three Saints and the Twelve Apostles, but this battleship has not been completed for 16 years since the construction began in 1892, which is simply miserable.

Abdullah in three protective cruisers? The Hamid II and the Mechitier are both relatively cutting-edge Armstrong-type protective cruisers that have only been in service for five years.

With such strength and the long-term training of sailors, it is strange that combat effectiveness can be expected, and it is no wonder that even after 3 years of obtaining two Brandenburg-class dreadnoughts, the Greek Navy with inferior strength was still beaten all over the ground after 3 years.

"I know your situation, it's not impossible to sell warships to you, but your government can allocate funds?" Yochen asked helplessly. (To be continued......)
