In the history of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, Abdul. Mejid I was also a promising sultan. In order to make the Ottoman Turkish Empire strong, during his reign, he implemented the Tanzimat reforms, which greatly improved the strength of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. This time, the Ottoman Turkish Empire participated in the world war as a member of the Eurasian Military Alliance, and won the war, which brought the Ottoman Turkish Empire back to its peak.

And this makes Abdul. Mejid I's popularity within the Ottoman Empire swelled to the point where it was almost deified. Those ministers of the empire, for Abdul. The demands of Mejid I did not dare to be perfunctory or opposed any longer. For example, this time Abdul. Mejid I was deeply stimulated by the eight powerful battleships of the Imperial Navy. Ignoring the national strength of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, he strongly demanded the development of the navy. The persuasion of the ministers was of no use at all. In desperation, the ministers had no choice but to compromise.

The day after the Chinese Empire had just sold a large number of warships to the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium, the chief Pasha Ali of the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Pasha Mustafa in charge of foreign affairs. Lester rushed to the embassy of the Chinese Empire in the Ottoman Turkish Empire. They came under the guise of negotiating peace with the Chinese Empire, but in fact they had only one purpose, that is, to purchase the advanced warships of the Chinese Empire.

"Hello, Your Highness the Crown Prince! Welcome to Istanbul. Hope for a beautiful view of Istanbul. To be able to leave you with a wonderful memory! "Ali. Pasha said respectfully to the Imperial Crown Prince Long Hua.

"His Excellency Pasha is so gracious, the beauty of Istanbul is indeed unforgettable. Thank you very much for the hospitality of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. On behalf of my father, I also invited His Majesty the Sultan to visit the Chinese Empire. Long Hua said with a humble face.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, thank you for the invitation of the Chinese Empire, His Majesty the Sultan will visit the Chinese Empire at the right time!" Ali. Pasha said. The Sultan's visit was a big deal, and even if he was the chief Pasha, he couldn't make a decision casually. However, according to the agreement between the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Chinese Empire, after the end of the war. Princess Hedis and Princess Lefia of the Ottoman Turkish Empire are about to marry the Emperor of China together. The Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Chinese Empire would then become in-law states. At that time, the relations between the two countries will be further strengthened.

"His Royal Highness the Prince. Your Excellency the Prime Minister. At this Istanbul Peace Conference, I wonder if there are any requirements from the Chinese Empire? "Mustafa. Lester. Pasha asked. Although, the peace conference was held in Istanbul. However, this also requires the support of the Chinese Empire.

"The Chinese Empire has only one request. That is, to guarantee the interests of the empire and its allies. Any attempt to harm the interests of the Chinese Empire and its allies will be a provocation to the Empire and will be met with a severe counterattack from the Empire! Imperial Prime Minister Lin Zihao said.

Ali. Pasha and Mustafa. Lester. Pasha Du nodded: "Your Excellency, the Ottoman Turkish Empire guarantees that this will not happen, we are allies, even after the end of the war, we are our closest allies." The future world order still needs to be maintained by us. The defeated countries of the North Atlantic Military Alliance will be at this peace conference. Pay a heavy price! ”

Prince Longhua, Imperial Prime Minister Lin Zihao and Foreign Minister Wei Yuan also nodded repeatedly. Although, the credibility of the Turks' words is worth scrutinizing. But at least the empire has shown itself. As long as the Ottoman Turkish Empire was not kicked in the head by a donkey, it would not harm the interests of the empire.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the navy of the Chinese Empire, has now become the world's maritime hegemon. The battleships that are like hills are stirring people's hearts. As an ally of the Chinese Empire, the Ottoman Turkish Empire hoped to be able to buy some warships from the Chinese Empire. to strengthen the naval power of the Ottoman Turkish Empire! "Ali. Pasha said. Although, the purchase of warships from the Chinese Empire. It will definitely cost a lot of money, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire, which is already heavily in debt, simply does not need to buy so many warships. But, Abdul. Mejid I was determined to buy it, and their ministers had no other way.

"The Ottoman Turkish Empire, as an ally of the Empire, is of course willing to sell warships to you. However, the price of the Empire's warships is not low. However, performance is guaranteed. This was tested in the naval battles between the Imperial Navy and the British. Long Hua said. The Ottoman Turkish Empire naturally sent it to the door, and the Empire naturally would not let go of this opportunity to slaughter them fiercely.

"Of course, the Imperial Chinese Navy has become a well-deserved maritime hegemon." Ali. Pasha said.

"I wonder which warships of the Imperial Navy your country would like to buy?" Imperial Prime Minister Lin Zihao asked. In his eyes, these ministers of the Ottoman Turkish Empire had become fat sheep.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, we hope to be able to purchase the 'Eastern Han class' battleships of the Imperial Chinese Navy. Such a powerful battleship, capable of meeting the needs of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. "Ali. Pasha also did his homework, and he sent people to check a lot of information about the Chinese navy, so that he would not be deceived when negotiating with the Chinese.

"'Eastern Han-class' battleships? I'm sorry, Lord Pasha. The Imperial Navy will not sell the 'Eastern Han class' battleships. The 'Eastern Han Class' battleships are the main force of the Imperial Navy at present, and in order to ensure the Empire's sea power, the Empire will not sell the 'Eastern Han Class' battleships! Lin Zihao shook his head. Not even two of the Empire's hardcore allies sold the 'Eastern Han class' battleships, let alone the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

Ali. Pasha and Mustafa. Lester. Pasha's brows furrowed when he heard this. They came to the Chinese with hope to buy warships, and they were even ready to be ripped off by them. However, the Chinese actually refuse to sell, which is really shocking!

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, even if the Ottoman Turkish Empire buys your country's 'Eastern Han class' battleships, your country can build more advanced and powerful battleships!" Mustafa. Lester. Pasha said.

"I'm sorry, but this is what His Majesty the Emperor meant!" Lin Zihao's attitude was very resolute.

"However, if the Ottoman Turkish Empire is bent on developing its navy, it can buy the 'Western Han-class' and 'Qin-class' battleships of the Imperial Navy. And, as long as you pay the money, you can get the battleship immediately. Lin Zihao said with a smile. His aim was to sell the remaining warships of the Imperial Navy.

"'Western Han-class' battleships and 'Qin-class' battleships?" Ali. Pasha frowned. According to the information he obtained, these are the first two battleships in China, and their performance is far from being comparable with the 'Eastern Han class' battleships. In his opinion, since Abdul. If Sultan Mejid I wants to develop a navy, then the Ottoman Turkish Empire must develop its navy well, and it can't take money to waste it.

"The performance of the two Pasha, the 'Western Han-class' battleships and the 'Qin-class' battleships is not weak, and the service time is only a few years. Now, it is still considered a world-class warship. Just last evening, the Empire had already sold several of these two battleships to the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium. They were very satisfied with these two battleships! Imperial Foreign Minister Wei Yuan said.

"What? The Kingdom of Spain also bought new warships? "Ali. Pasha was shocked. The Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Kingdom of Spain were at opposite ends of the Mediterranean. It is inevitable that the two countries will have conflicts over control of the Mediterranean. Originally, the navy of the Kingdom of Spain, after receiving the support of the Chinese navy, was stronger than the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Now, the Kingdom of Spain has actually purchased new warships, which is undoubtedly a rhythm that wants to dominate the Mediterranean!

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, I wonder how many warships the Kingdom of Spain has bought?" Mustafa. Lester. Pasha hurriedly asked.

"The Kingdom of Spain purchased four 'Western Han-class' battleships and three 'Qin-class' battleships, as well as five 'Trotto-class' improved cruisers and eight 'Tiangang-class' destroyers. Coupled with the fleet that the Kingdom of Spain originally had, they had become the most powerful navy in the world outside of the Empire! Wei Yuan said with a smile.

"Eight battleships?" Ali. Pasha and Mustafa. Lester. The Pasha were stunned. The navy of the Kingdom of Spain actually has such a strong strength, so does the Ottoman Turkish Empire still have the ability to confront the Kingdom of Spain?

"Two, the Imperial Navy is going to sell the warships this time, and there are not many left. The Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in contact with the South American powers, and they are also interested in the warships of the Imperial Navy. If they ask for a purchase, then the Imperial Navy is estimated to not have many warships left. When the time comes, even if the Ottoman Turkish Empire wants to buy it, it will not be able to buy it. Prime Minister Lin Zihao said on the side.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I wonder how many warships your country can sell?" Ali. Pasha asked.

"Two 'Western Han-class' battleships, three 'Qin-class' battleships, 12 'Temperary-class' cruisers and 16 'Tiangang-class' destroyers." The bamboo pole in Lin Zihao's hand was already raised high, and after waiting for the Turks to take the bait, he knocked it down fiercely.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we need to reply to you after we have reported to Your Majesty of Speed!" Ali. Pasha said. (To be continued)
