In order to strengthen the Turkish delegation's impression of the federal military strength, the Ministry of National Defense specially arranged for them a visit to the federal navy, land and air force. Within 10 days, staff from the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Interior took the Turkish delegation to visit the Manila Shipyard.
The Hanoi heavy industry base, tank manufacturing plant, aircraft manufacturing plant and several military factories, in addition to the equipment that needs to be kept secret, ordinary submarine manufacturing, armored vehicle manufacturing, aircraft manufacturing and firearms and artillery manufacturing were all given to these representatives.
look.
Among the Turkish representatives who came to negotiate with the South China Sea Federation this time, only two were civilian officials. The remaining four were senior staff officers in the Turkish army. They had all participated in World War I and the Turkish War of Independence, so they were very interested in weapons and equipment.
The types and performance of these people are quite familiar with the
During the process, he was very interested in many weapons of the South China Sea Federation, including submarines, armored vehicles, motorcycles, howitzers, mines, aircraft and semi-automatic rifles. He said on the spot that if the South China Sea Federation could provide Turkey with these equipment,
Then the prospects for this military cooperation are very optimistic.
The Federal Ministry of Defense has answered these requests one by one. First of all, it is unrealistic for the Turkish government at this stage to equip a large number of armored vehicles and aircraft. Not to mention their own cost, even in the later period.
The Turkish army may not be able to afford maintenance and fuel, so the federal government will not
It is recommended that the Turkish government purchase armored vehicles and aircraft in large quantities; secondly, although the firepower output of semi-automatic rifles is greater than that of ordinary rifles, the consumption of bullets is also several times that of ordinary rifles. The pressure on logistics has also increased a lot, so without improvement and
With the support of logistics and ammunition reserves, it is not recommended to equip large quantities;
In the end, the Federal Ministry of Defense still insisted that if the Turkish government wanted to solidly improve the strength of its military, it must solve its own military production capabilities, and the military cooperation plan provided by the federal government was designed based on Turkey's existing capabilities.
Developing a package solution and promoting this plan are the focus. As for the procurement of weapons such as armored vehicles, aircraft, artillery, etc., they should be placed in a secondary position.
The people in the Turkish delegation very much appreciated the responsible attitude of the South China Sea federal government. They originally thought that the plan was just a pie drawn by the federal government. The ultimate purpose was nothing more than to promote their own arms, as was the case with many countries in the past.
Yes, I can sell you things, but there is no need to talk about selling you production lines and technology. But actually help Turkey build its own defense industry. The South China Sea Federation is still the first. This is what the Turkish government needs most.
One is willing to fight and the other is willing to endure. In order to expand its sphere of influence to Europe, the South China Sea Federation is willing to engage in this unprofitable business; in order to develop its own defense industry and no longer be controlled and bullied by European powers, the Turkish government is also willing to do so.
We are willing to strengthen military cooperation with the South China Sea Federation, and the two parties hit it off immediately.
Samsun, a Turkish port, is located on the southern coast of the Black Sea. It is rich in the best tobacco in Turkey. Every year in the autumn, the locals load large packages of dried tobacco onto ships from here in exchange for their annual income. Normally, Samsun is a Turkish port.
, except for those fishing boats fishing for sturgeon in the shallow sea, there are few other ships docking in this port.
But this year's Samsun is different. Since the end of February, many Turkish troops have arrived one after another. They occupied the port in large iron ships, and then announced that the port had been requisitioned by the government while building barbed wire fences and fences around the port.
Watchtowers are planned to surround the entire port, and the locals living here have to move to other nearby places with government subsidies.
Early one morning in early March, a piercing siren suddenly sounded in the Port of Samsun, which had just completed its blockade. Groups of Turkish soldiers ran out of their respective camps and, under the leadership of officers, occupied all the highlands around the port.
They set up machine guns and barricades on hills, sentries, and entrances and exits, blocking all roads in and out of Samsun and blocking the entire Port of Samsun.
In the port, hundreds of Turkish navy ground unit sailors wearing white military uniforms and white turbans surrounded the entire outer layer of the pier. On the pier, dozens of Turkish naval officers wearing black Turkish navy uniforms and red felt hats
positive share
He picked up two piles, whispering to each other from time to time, and then looked towards the sea, as if waiting for something. On the sea, in addition to some seabirds looking for food, there were several black protrusions, about 2 meters above the sea, cutting through the waves.
Coming from the port of Foreign Affairs.
This is the bridge of several submarines. On the bridge of the first submarine, two people wearing blue clothes and black raincoats stood, observing the harbor with binoculars. After seeing two submarines
After the pilot ship carrying the flag of the Turkish Navy came from the harbor with a semaphore, one of the men muttered a few times to the people next to him, then put his mouth to the copper microphone on the bridge command platform and shouted
A few sounds.
Following the man's command, the submarine formation slowly reduced its speed, and the entire hull began to float until the front and rear decks were exposed. Then, five big black boats followed two Turkish Navy territorial water vessels.
, slowly sailed into the port, and each anchored at the designated anchorage. Only the leading submarine, with the help of several barges, docked at the dock.
Behind the bridge of the submarine, a small door opened, and three people emerged from it one after another. They walked along the gangway to the dock. These three people were not tall. They were wearing similar blue clothes and pants, and a pair of black feet.
The high-top leather boots have very thick soles.
The three people walked to a group of Turkish officers on the pier and stopped. After a brief introduction in English, the two parties handed over some documents, and then walked into the small building behind the pier together.
These submarines are part of the arms sales from the South China Sea federal government to the Turkish government. The federal navy submarine force that followed these submarines not only had to safely drive the submarines to their destinations and ensure that their whereabouts along the way were not discovered by the outside world, but also
He will stay in this temporarily established Turkish Navy submarine base for the first half to a year and be responsible for training the first batch of Turkish Navy submariners.
The leader of the team this time is Lieutenant Colonel Yan Yu of the Federal Navy. He belongs to the Strait Fleet of the South China Sea Federal Navy. He is an ordinary submarine captain. However, he has served for a long time, already 20 years. He is really a submarine captain.
He worked his way from an ordinary submariner to the captain's position step by step.
position, so both practical operation and theoretical knowledge are very rich. This training task fell on his head. He and his 40 crew members will become instructors, responsible for selecting 200 Turkish Navy personnel.
Elites become qualified submariners in the shortest possible time.
This time the Turks have spent a lot of money in order to have their own defense industry. In order to cultivate their own submarine force as soon as possible, they can't wait for the completion of the regular submarine base being built near Izmir, so they temporarily chose Sasha.
As a submarine training base, Musun Port not only blocked the entire port and evacuated nearby cities, but also planned to establish Turkey's own naval academy here.
After resting for three days, Major Yan Yu found the head of the Turkish Navy, a short and fat Turkish naval officer. It is said that he was once the captain of the Turkish Navy’s battleship Mahmoud.
After being injured in a naval battle on a Russian warship, he was transferred to the Turkish Navy to serve in the Logistics Department. After World War I, he participated in the Turkish War of Independence led by Kemal. Now he is the Deputy Minister of Logistics of the Turkish Navy, specifically responsible for this Turkish war.
The formal preparations for the establishment of the Navy's submarine force.
Since he had studied at the British Naval Academy, there was no problem in communicating in English. Although he was already a major general, he had no airs about the captain Yan Yu of the Federation Navy in front of him. When Yan Yu thought
After learning about Turkey's preparations, I happily introduced his work achievements at this stage. (To be continued...)
