In the history of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, Abdul Maijid I was also a promising sultan...≦ In order to make the Ottoman Turkish Empire stronger, when he was in power, the Tanzmat reforms 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 Asian-European military alliance, and won the war victory, which restored the Ottoman Turkish Empire to its peak.

This made Abdul Maijid I's reputation in the Ottoman Turkish Empire expand to its peak and almost deified. The ministers of the empire did not dare to perfunctorily or object to Abdul Maijid I's request. For example, this time Abdul Maijid I was deeply stimulated by the eight powerful battleships of the Imperial Navy. He made him strongly demand the development of the navy despite the national strength of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. The ministers' persuasion were useless at all. In desperation, the ministers had to choose to compromise.

Just the day after the Chinese Empire sold a large number of warships to the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium, Pasha Ali, the chief of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and Pasha Mustafa Rest, who was in charge of diplomatic affairs, rushed to the embassy of the Chinese Empire in the Ottoman Turkish Empire. They came under the guise of discussing peace meetings with the Chinese Empire, but in fact they had only one purpose, that is, to purchase advanced warships of the Chinese Empire.

"Hello, Your Highness, Crown Prince! Welcome to Istanbul. I hope that the beautiful scenery of Istanbul can leave you with a beautiful memory!" Ali Pasha said respectfully to the Imperial Crown Prince Longhua.

"His Excellency Pasha is so polite. The beautiful scenery of Istanbul is indeed unforgettable. Thank you very much for the reception of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. On behalf of my father, I also invited His Majesty the Sultan to visit the Chinese Empire." Longhua said with a humble look on his face.

"Your Highness, thank you for the invitation of the Chinese Empire, His Majesty Sultan will visit the Chinese Empire at the right time!" Ali Pasha said. The visit of the Sultan was a big deal. Even if he was the chief Pasha, he could not make any decisions casually. However, according to the agreement between the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Chinese Empire, after the war, Princess Hedis and Princess Lefia of the Ottoman Turkish Empire will marry the Chinese emperor together. The Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Chinese Empire will become in-law countries. At that time, the relationship between the two countries will be further strengthened.

"Your Highness, Your Excellency the Prime Minister. I wonder if there are any requirements for the Chinese Empire in this Istanbul meeting?" Mustafa Lester Pasha asked. Although the peace meeting was held in Istanbul, this also requires the support of the Chinese Empire.

"The Chinese Empire has only one requirement, that is, to guarantee the interests of the empire and allies. Any attempt to harm the interests of the Chinese Empire and allies will be a provocation to the empire and will be severely counterattacked by the empire!" said the imperial prime minister Lin Zihao.

Ali Pasha and Mustafa Rest Pasha both nodded: "Prime Minister, the Ottoman Turkish Empire promised that this would not happen. We are allies, and even after the war is over, we are the closest allies. The future world order still needs us to jointly maintain. The defeated countries of the North Atlantic Military Alliance will pay a heavy price at this meeting!"

Crown Prince Longhua, Imperial Prime Minister Lin Zihao and Foreign Minister Wei Yuan also nodded repeatedly. Although the credibility of the Turks' words is worth pondering, at least the empire has expressed its attitude. As long as the Ottoman Turkish Empire is not kicked by a donkey, it will not harm the interests of the empire.

"Your Highness, the navy of the Chinese Empire, has now become the world's maritime overlord. Those warships that are like hills are thrilling. As an ally of the Chinese Empire, the Ottoman Turkish Empire hopes to buy some warships from the Chinese Empire to strengthen the naval strength of the Ottoman Turkish Empire!" Ali Pasha said. Although buying warships from the Chinese Empire will definitely cost a lot of money. There is no need to buy so many warships in the Ottoman Turkish Empire, which is now heavily in debt. However, Abdul Maijid I was determined to buy them, and these ministers had no other way.

"As an ally of the empire, the empire is certainly willing to sell warships to you. However, the price of the empire's warships is not low. However, the performance is guaranteed. This has been tested in the naval battle between the Imperial Navy and the British." Longhua said. The Ottoman Turkish Empire was naturally delivered to you, so the empire would not miss the opportunity to slaughter them hard.

"Of course, the Chinese Empire's Navy has become a well-deserved maritime overlord." Ali Pasha said.

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

"Prime Minister, we hope to buy the "Eastern Han-class" battleships of the Chinese Empire Navy. Such powerful battleships can meet the needs of the Ottoman Turkish Empire." Ali Pasha also did his homework. 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' battleship? Sorry, Your Excellency Pasha. The Imperial Navy will not sell the 'Eastern Han-class' battleship. The 'Eastern Han-class' battleship is currently the main force of the Imperial Navy. In order to ensure the empire's maritime power, the Empire will not sell the 'Eastern Han-class' battleship!" Lin Zihao shook his head. Even the two hard-core allies of the empire did not sell the 'Eastern Han-class' battleship, let alone the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

Ali Pasha and Mustafa Lester Pasha frowned when they heard this. They came to the Chinese to buy warships with hope, and were even ready to be ripped off by them. However, the Chinese actually refused to sell them, which was really a blow to people!

"Prince, even if the Ottoman Turkish Empire purchased your country's 'Eastern Han-class' battleship, your country can build more advanced and powerful battleships!" said Mustafa Lester Pasha.

"I'm sorry, this is what His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire!" Lin Zihao's attitude seemed very firm.

"However, if the Ottoman Turkish Empire wants to develop its navy, it can buy the "Western Han-class" battleships and the "Qin-class" battleships of the Imperial Navy. And as long as you pay the money, you can get the battleships immediately." Lin Zihao said with a smile. His purpose was to sell the remaining battleships of the Imperial Navy.

"The 'Western Han-class' battleship and the 'Qin-class' battleship?" Ali Pasha frowned. According to the information he obtained, these are the two earliest battleships in China, and their performance is far from comparable to the 'Eastern Han-class' battleships. In his opinion, since Abdul Maijid I Sultan wants to develop his navy, then the Ottoman Turkish Empire must develop its navy well, and it cannot use money to waste water.

"The performance of the two Pashas is not weak, and they have only been in service for a few years. Now, they are still world-class battleships. Just last night, the Empire has sold several of these two battleships to the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Belgium. They are very satisfied with these two battleships!" said Wei Yuan, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire.

"What? The Kingdom of Spain also bought new warships?" Ali Pasha was shocked. The Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Kingdom of Spain were on both ends of the Mediterranean. The two countries inevitably had conflicts in order to compete for control of the Mediterranean. Originally, the navy of the Kingdom of Spain was stronger than the Ottoman Turkish Empire after receiving the support of the Chinese navy. Now, the Kingdom of Spain actually bought new warships, which undoubtedly wanted to dominate the rhythm of the Mediterranean!

"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, I wonder how many warships the Kingdom of Spain has purchased?" Mustafa Rest Pasha asked hurriedly.

"The Kingdom of Spain purchased four 'Western Han-class' battleships and three 'Qin-class' battleships, and there were 5 'Solar-class' improved cruisers and 8 'Tiangang-class' destroyers. With the fleet originally owned by the Kingdom of Spain, they have become the most powerful navy in the world except for the empire!" Wei Yuan said with a smile.

"Eight battleships?" Ali Pasha and Mustafa Rest Pasha were both shocked. The navy of the Kingdom of Spain actually had such strong strength. Does the Ottoman Turkish Empire still have the ability to confront the Kingdom of Spain?

"Two, the Imperial Navy is preparing to sell this time, there are not many left. The Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs is contacting South American powers, and they are also interested in the Imperial Navy's warships. If they make a purchase request, then there will probably not be many warships left in the Imperial Navy. At that time, even if the Ottoman Turkish Empire wants to buy it, it will not be able to buy it." Prime Minister Lin Zihao said from the side.

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

"Two 'Western Han-class' battleships, three 'Qin-class' battleships, 12 'Solar-class' cruisers and 16 'Tiangang-class' destroyers." Lin Zihao's bamboo raids were already raised high, waiting for the Turks to take the bait and knocked them down fiercely.

"Prime Minister, we need to report to His Majesty Speed ​​before replying to you!" said Ali Pasha. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
