July 1, 1916, AD 2757, Port of Izmir, Türkiye.
Izmir, formerly known as "Smyrna", is the third largest city in Türkiye and the capital of Izmir Province.
Izmir is located at the head of Izmir Bay in the Aegean Sea and is a natural deep-water harbor.
There are important agricultural areas nearby, with river valleys leading to the interior.
Since ancient times, the city has been the center of the agricultural area along the Aegean Sea and an important seaport.
It is also a famous historical and cultural city, a tourist attraction and a military fortress.
It is also the main base of the Ottoman Empire Navy and has the largest military port in the country.
At this time, all streets in Izmir Port were swept clean.
The entire dock area was hung with fluttering colorful flags.
Local residents and people from other places were dressed in festive costumes, singing and dancing in the streets.
The whole city was as lively as if it were a festival.
This is because today is the day when the Ottoman fleet ordered from China returns home.
People are so happy because the Ottoman Empire's first super-dreadnought ship "Suleiman the Magnificent" is in this fleet, and there is also the world's largest professional aircraft carrier "Fatih" in the fleet, among others Cruisers, destroyers and submarines are also some of the most advanced models in the world today.
This is a rare event.
Many Ottoman people spontaneously rushed to Izmir to welcome the fleet back home.
A sailor on the watchtower stretched out his head and shouted to the waiting crowd below: "The fleet is back, our fleet is back."
"Oh!"
The crowd suddenly let out earth-shattering cheers, and then they rushed to the coast, scrambling to grab the commanding heights where they could see the sea.
"Buzzing buzzing" roared in the sky, and a ShuiHong-1 "Lionhead Goose" water bombing patrol aircraft appeared in people's sight.
This kind of aircraft is a large seaplane with two wings and two engines.
An aircraft with a hull layout is also called a "flying boat" or a "flying boat".
Its appearance looks a bit like the American Martin 2 of the original time and space.
Shuihong 1 has an all-metal fuselage with a total length of 21 meters, a wingspan of 31 meters, and a total height of 8.4 meters.
The empty weight is 7200 kg and the payload is 3000 kg.
The power system is two "hhq05" piston air-cooled engines, each with a power of 600 kilowatts and 804 horsepower.
Its maximum flight speed is 205 kilometers per hour and its cruising speed is 140 kilometers per hour.
The range is 2,500 kilometers and the ceiling is 7,000 meters.
There are 7 crew members.
The weapons are four 7mm caliber 1906 machine guns, one at the nose, one at the tail, and two on the back.
It can also carry 500 kilograms of bombs.
This is currently the most advanced seaplane in the world, produced by China's Xiangyin Aircraft Manufacturing Company Xiangfei.
It first flew in January last year and entered service in June.
After the Ottoman Empire tasted the sweetness of aircraft in the Balkan War, it paid special attention to the construction of aviation power.
They believed that this was a weapon that could change war.
It can be said that the current Ottoman enthusiasm for aircraft is probably higher than that of China, the number one air force power.
After learning that China had launched this new aircraft, the Ottoman Navy immediately discussed the purchase with China.
The relationship between China and the Ottomans is very good now.
The two countries are not comfortable working together to make a fortune out of Europe's national crisis, so they will naturally not make things difficult for them.
So in October last year, Osman ordered five "Lionhead Goose" from China, mainly for maritime patrol and warning.
The "Lion-Headed Goose" in the sky is the patrol aircraft assigned to Izmir Port.
Its mission today is to welcome the returning fleet.
Now that it is back, it means that the fleet has arrived outside the port.
On the viewing platform of the pier, a group of senior Ottoman officials were sitting under the pergola waiting.
All the "Big Three" of the Young Turks who currently control the power are here.

These three giants are Enver Pasha, Minister of War and Chief of General Staff, Talat Pasha, Party Chairman and Minister of Interior, and Cemal, Minister of Navy and Chief of Istanbul Police.
Pasha Pasha is an honorific used exclusively for military and political officials such as governors and generals.
However, this group of people is obviously divided into two circles.
In addition to the Young Turks on the side of the Big Three, there is also a slightly smaller group of people.
These people are all members and supporters of the Ottoman Socialist Party.
Kemal is currently the deputy chief of staff of the Ottoman Empire and the governor of Salonika and Macedonia, and Nefules is currently the mayor of Salonika.
Although the power of the Ottoman Socialist Party has increased a lot, it is still not comparable to the Young Turks and is considered the largest opposition party in the Ottomans.
Although Kemal and others also obtained some central positions, they were all deputy positions.
The Ottoman central power was still in the hands of the Young Turks.
There is no way, most of Kemal's backbone are too young, and their qualifications and prestige are still a little bit behind.
At this time when they should be happy, the faces of the people in the Ottoman Socialist Party were not very pretty.
This is because the Big Three had decided yesterday to let their people serve as the commander of the new fleet and a number of important positions.
Those candidates recommended by the Ottoman Socialist Party were pushed aside.
In the end, in order to appease them, they only gave An aircraft carrier captain and some deputy positions were created.
This aircraft carrier captain is also because there is really no suitable candidate among the Big Three, because now the Ottoman air power is the territory of the Austrian Socialist Party, and almost all pilots are members and supporters of the Austrian Socialist Party.
It's strange that Kemal and the others would be happy when encountering something like this.
One of the young lieutenant colonels said angrily: "Huh, who the hell is that guy Jamal?
He doesn't even dare to fight against the Greek navy.
He just sits back and watches the Greeks invade our island.
Such a waste can actually become the commander of the fleet.
I'm so angry."
"People" "That's right, Jamal is a coward.
No matter how good a warship is, it won't work for him."
Everyone vented their anger in every word, and they deliberately did not lower their voices.
They spoke so loudly that the Young Turks naturally heard it, but what they did was indeed not very authentic, and the choice of fleet commander was indeed controversial.
In fact, let alone the dissatisfaction on the part of the Austrian Socialist Party, even their own youth party and public opinion also criticized this appointment.
That guy Jamal was completely disgraced during the Balkan War.
Throughout the war, facing an opponent whose strength was not as good as his own, the Ottoman navy under his command stayed in the port almost every day without making any achievements worth mentioning.
As a result, almost all the islands in the Aegean Sea were occupied by Greece.
If not for Kai Mal's Socialist Party captured the Greek crown prince during the war, and those islands may never come back.
But there is nothing the Al-Shabaab can do.
The Ottoman Navy is not that good to begin with, and many past naval admirals were royalists, so they have even fewer naval talents.
This Jamal is still taller than the short one, and the others are probably even less reliable.
As for the Austrian Socialist Party, there are indeed some good talents, but the rapidly increasing power of the Austrian Socialist Party has caused serious uneasiness among the Big Three.
Now the Austrian Socialist Party has mastered air power, and two-thirds of the young officers in the army are leaning towards them.
The Austrian Socialist Party has at least half of the support in the army.
This is the reason why the Austrian Socialist Party has a too shallow foundation.
There is no way, Kemal's aura of war hero is too strong, and soldiers are willing to obey the strong.
Compared with the Air Force and the Army, the situation on the Navy's side is much better.
It is probably divided into three parts: the Royalists, the Youth Party and the Austrian Socialist Party.
No one has a majority, barely leaving some face for the ruling party.
It would be a fool's errand to let the OSS occupy important positions in the navy again.
It would be better to let the Big Three and Al-Shabaab step down directly.
The Al-Shabaab now regards the Navy as a confidant.
No matter from that perspective, it is impossible for people from the Austrian Socialist Party to occupy various important positions.

Kemal couldn't listen anymore and said to everyone: "Okay, comrades, please stop talking about this matter.
For the time being, we have to focus on the overall situation.
Everyone must believe that this abnormal situation is not normal."
It will last too long.”
Kemal's prestige in the party was extremely high.
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone immediately stopped mocking the "mediocre general".
At this time, in order to adjust everyone's psychology, Niefulais pointed to the sky and said: "Look, there are swarms coming from the sea."
Everyone looked up and saw, no.
From the direction of the sea, a large group of planes were flying over.
There were at least a hundred aircraft in this fleet, forming three wedge-shaped formations, flying toward the dock in a dark mass.
Navy Minister Cemal Pasha suddenly stood up.
He raised his telescope and looked at it, then asked the adjutant beside him: "Is this the carrier-based aircraft on the Fatih?"
The adjutant quickly replied: "Yes, Cemal Pasha.
The fleet just sent a telegram, and now the Fatih has released 120 of all 128 carrier-based aircraft for a flight show.
Among these aircraft, fighters and bombers and 40 attack aircraft each, and 8 were reconnaissance aircraft, which were not released.”
"Suk, these fighter jets are single-winged."
Kemal was also consulting an air force colonel next to him at this time.
Colonel Su Ke replied: "Yes, Chairman, this is the J-5 Shrike fighter developed by Chinese comrades.
It is the world's first all-metal fighter and the most advanced fighter.
Now these are professional naval carriers in the sky.
The model should be called the J-5h Sea Shrike.
Its performance is similar to that of the road-based model, but its wings can be folded."
Another air force officer said: "Chairman, as far as I know, the Chinese comrades themselves are not equipped with much of this type of aircraft at present.
They are willing to sell the most advanced aircraft because of the sake of our party."
As mentioned earlier, Chinese technicians regard the Fatih as a "guinea pig".
The things on it are naturally very advanced.
Except for those black technologies such as radars and computers, they are all equipped with whatever is advanced.
The 128 carrier-based aircraft above are no exception.
They are all the latest models.
The fighter is the J-5h "Hai Shrike" prototype 26 "Toy Gun", the bomber is the H-3 "Warshipbird" torpedo bomber prototype "Swordfish", and the attack aircraft is It is a Qiang 1h "Sea Lark" dive bomber prototype hs123, and the reconnaissance aircraft is a two-seat reconnaissance version of the J-5.
By the way, in the organization of the Chinese army in this plane, dive bombers are classified as attack aircraft, and torpedo aircraft are classified as bombers.
This is exactly the opposite of the divisions of Japan, the United States and other countries in the original time and space.
After arriving at the pier, the Ottoman pilots began to perform maneuvers in the sky.
Of course, their current skills were only better than those of the rookies, and they did not dare to do too fancy maneuvers.
They only did some more popular formations, low-altitude passes, etc.
After waiting for a while, he finally opened the smoke puller and pulled out three groups of colored smoke, two red and one white, in the sky.
If placed in later generations, these actions would be nothing at all, but they are indeed quite popular in this era.
At least the onlookers below were blinded and enjoyed watching.
After the flight show, these aircraft did not return to the aircraft carrier, but went to the airport to land in turn.
This is to avoid accidents at this welcome ceremony.
Everyone knows that the landing of a carrier-based aircraft is the most difficult.
If the plane crashes at this juncture, everyone will look bad.
So the senior officials of the Ottoman navy simply asked them not to return to the mothership and land, lest the men accidentally drop the chain, which would make them laugh.
Not long after the plane left, dozens of smoke pillars appeared on the sea-to-sky line.
Then the two warships gradually "raised" from the sea level and appeared in the eyes of everyone.

These are the two pre-dreadnoughts of the Ottoman Navy, the "Hiradin Barbarossa" and the "Tol Gudres", which were the former German Navy's "Kaiser Wilhelm" and "Weisenberg".
Belongs to the Brandenburg class battleship.
Both pre-dreadnoughts were commissioned in 1893 and sold to the Ottoman Navy in 1910.
These two ships were sent out to welcome them, and now they will serve as lead ships to guide the returning fleet into the port.
Not long after the two pre-dreadnoughts passed, the returning fleet appeared, followed by destroyers, cruisers, and then the finale of the battleship "Suleiman the Magnificent" and the aircraft carrier "Fatih", especially the "Suleyman".
The huge super-dreadnought ship "Lyman Emperor" stole everyone's attention as soon as it appeared.
The onlookers cheered and the reporters flashed their flashlights.
Even those members of the Austrian Socialist Party who were angry just now put aside their unhappiness, cheered loudly, and then started talking enthusiastically.
As for the three giants on the rostrum, they were laughing so hard that they couldn't close their mouths.
Of course, the Chinese escort fleet led by Li Ang would not steal the limelight from the big customers, so they fell last.
When the submarine also entered the port, they slowly docked at the dock under the leadership of an Ottoman destroyer.
As soon as Li Ang and the others got off the boat, they saw Kemal waiting on the dock with a group of Austrian Socialist Party officials.
Kemal stepped forward quickly, held Li Ang's hand, and chirped enthusiastically.
The translator next to him immediately translated: "Chairman Kemal said: Welcome to you Chinese comrades, you have worked hard all the way."
"Thank you for your welcome, Ottoman comrades," Li Ang responded quickly
