Istanbul, also known as Constantinople.

　　 It is the economic, cultural, and transportation center of Turkey, a world-famous tourist attraction, and one of the prosperous international metropolises.

　　 is located at the eastern end of the Balkan Peninsula, on the west bank of the southern port of the Bosphorus, strangling the entrance to the Black Sea. It is a transportation hub for Europe and Asia, and its strategic position is extremely important.

　　 was built in 658 BC on the headland between the Golden Horn and the Marmara Sea, called Byzantium.

　　 In 330 AD, Constantine moved the Roman Empire to this place. At first it was called New Rome, but it was quickly named after its founder, Constantine, Constantinople.

　　Before the Ottoman Empire was conquered, the name of Istanbul had existed for a hundred years.

　　 One of the main reasons why Istanbul is famous in the world is its unique geographical location. Within its coverage area, there is a golden waterway separating Asia and Europe.

　　 Bosphorus.

This 30-kilometer-long strait, 3.7-kilometers wide at its widest point, connects the Black Sea and the Marmara Sea, forms the Turkish Strait together with the Dardanelles and the Marmara Sea, and connects Asia and The European continent is divided.

　　 The Marmara Sea has an area of ​​only 11,350 square kilometers, which is the smallest sea in the world.

　　 But it is surrounded by Turkish territory, the northeast end is connected by the Bosphorus and the Black Sea, and the southwest end communicates with the Aegean Sea through the Dardanelles. Therefore, the Bosphorus Strait is equivalent to the "throat" stuck in the Eurasian continent, and has a significant impact on Turkey's political situation and world history.

　　 The Turks proudly said that the Bosphorus "carrying Asia in one hand and Europe in the other", because the unique geographical location of the Bosphorus has always benefited the Turks.

Since the 17th century, in order to gain access to the sea, the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire have fought twelve wars in the Caucasus, Balkans, Crimea, and the Black Sea in two hundred and forty years. To fight hard.

　　 In 1936, Britain, France, the Soviet Union, Turkey and other ten countries signed the "Convention on the Strait System" in Montreux, Switzerland, clarifying that Turkey has obtained all the sovereignty of the Bosphorus Strait, and ships of various countries must sail in accordance with the provisions of the convention.

　　 After the end of World War II, NATO headed by the United States and the Warsaw Pact headed by the Soviet Union intensified the fight for the strait, which became one of the causes of the Cold War.

　　 After the Cold War, Turkey’s bargaining chip for joining NATO was this seemingly humble strait, which became NATO’s “weight” to counter Russia and the main means to control the Middle East.

　　 is also precisely because it connects the three continents of Asia, Europe and Africa, and has extremely important political and economic influence. It has been called the "golden waterway" since ancient times.

　　 Even the Silk Road originated in China, and the Asian end point is the Bosphorus.

　　The goods of the three continents of Asia, Europe and Africa are gathered here, which enables the local area to accumulate a huge amount of wealth. The famous Topkapi Palace is a physical testimony of this period.

　　 Here, there are more than 10,000 pieces of various rare porcelains from the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. Among them, there are 40 pieces of Yuan blue and white. It is the museum with the largest collection of Yuan blue and white in the world.

　　 The sky is sunny and the wind is sunny.

　　 Large and small ships come and go from the Bosphorus Strait and dock on both sides of the pier. The robust stevedores frequently load and unload cargo, and pile up mountains of cargo and containers, witnessing the prosperity of the city of Istanbul.

　　 Goods from the three continents of Asia, Europe and Africa will be sent to countries where other continents are located in this city.

　　 It is no exaggeration to say that it is the golden waterway.

　　 Suddenly, a rush of telephone ringing rang in the Istanbul Ocean Affairs Office.

　　 Director Mehmet Mendlers pushed the secretary away from his arms and picked up the phone.

　　 "Mehmet, this is Zaoru. A tugboat of Ukrainian nationality will pass by your side in the near future. I order you and will never allow them to pass."

　　 The call was from the Minister of State Mir Zaoru, and Mehmet Mendler just wanted to scold his mother after listening to his tough order.

Prior to this, the Ukrainian tugboat employer Hong Kong Qianfan Gaming Company in Zaoru had provided him with a friendly sponsorship fee of 300,000 U.S. dollars, and promised that if their tugboat can pass through the Bosphorus smoothly, He can also get an extra five million dollars in hard work.

　　 But now, an order from Zaolu has made the five million dollars he might get gone.

　　 Why Mehmet Mendler knows very well.

　　 The big guy hauled by Qianfan Gaming Company is a global strategic aircraft carrier.

　　 But what about that?

　　 An aircraft carrier without any weapons and equipment, even if it is allowed to pass, it is impossible to have any impact on Turkey.

　　 "Mr. Minister, why is this? Do we have any reason to do this?"

　　 "Mendles, are you questioning my orders?"

　　 The senior official crushes people to death.

　　 Although Mendles had a lot of reluctance in his heart, he had to agree to the order.

　　 "Damn bastard, you only need the pots you make yourself to be full but you don't allow others to drink soup, I curse you to hell."

　　 After hanging up the phone, Mehmet Mendler scolded angrily.

　　 We all know each other well that the aircraft carrier hauled by Qianfan Gaming Company is not used as a sea casino as they said.

　　 But in terms of interest, Turkey and China have no direct conflict of interest at all. Mehmet Mendler must have done so out of interest.

　　 However, Mehmet Mendlers didn't think he was doing it for national interest.

　　 The relationship between Zaoru and the U.S. Republican Party has always been very close. As Secretary of Defense, Zaoru has never made less money in the purchase of weapons and equipment.

　　 For top strategic weapons like aircraft carriers, if Ukraine and China successfully reach a deal to create a precedent, it will break the monopoly of several major US arms dealers on higher-level weapons.

　　 I want to get it with my ass, this must be inspired by the Americans.

　　 But the scolding returned to scolding, the order had been issued, and Mehmet Mendler had no other way, so he had to contact the naval headquarters in Ankara.

　　 A hundred and forty nautical miles away from the Bosphorus Strait, the blade tugboat with the Ukrainian flag is dragging a huge steel monster slowly across the sea.

　　 The monster is very big. It is different from ordinary ships. There are white lines on the flat deck, which seem to be the signs of the airstrip.

　　 This is the semi-finished aircraft carrier Walangge, which was purchased by Hong Kong Qianfan Gaming Company from the Ukrainian Nikolaev Shipyard for US$20 million. The main purpose is to open up a new type of casino on the open sea.

　　 Of course, the above statement is pure nonsense.

　　 "Mr. Peng, I really appreciate your contribution to the country."

　　 On the Walang Pavilion.

　　 A middle-aged man with a well-deserved body and capable temperament walked to Peng San who was leaning on the deck and enjoying the sea view and said.

　　 Peng San stretched out his arms and raised his head lazily, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

　　 "Brother Wang, why don't you look in the mirror?"

　　 These words sounded a bit curse.

　　 Wang Guozhu was startled, it felt like someone was saying, why don’t you take a **** and take a picture of yourself.

　　 But he knew that Peng San definitely didn't mean that.

　　 As expected.

　　 Peng San dropped a cigarette, lit one comfortably, with a serious look on his face.

　　 "Look at you, black hair, black eyes, yellow skin. Look at me again, the same black hair, black eyes, yellow skin. We are either the dawn people or the descendants of Yanhuang. Brother Wang, you said that, didn't you kill me."

　　 Wang Guozhu couldn't help but smiled and took a deep breath after Peng San let the fire light up.

　　 For a long time, he breathed out the smoke, looking at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, his eyes showed longing.

　　 "With a comrade like you, Mr. Peng, how can I worry about the revival of China."

　　 "Me? Brother Wang, are you complimenting me or hurting me? I can also run errands and take a look at the scenery. I can't even get the leader of the boat."

　　 "Haha, Mr. Peng is really funny. But that person is indeed a celestial character. I really didn't expect you to be classmates."

　　 "Brother Wang. You don't praise me and don't hurt me. Don't I look like a college student?"

　　 "It really doesn't look like it. I heard that you are Hua Hai who has been born with special talents. That one is excellent in arts and sciences."

　　 "Brother. We can't hit people like this, OK?"

　　 "Haha——"

　　 The two sat chatting together, but gradually, their expressions became solemn.

　　 Another hundred kilometers, it is the Bosphorus Strait. As long as you pass here, the journey back home will be smooth.

　　 But...

　　 hum——

　　 Suddenly, a huge whistle sounded on the sea.

　　 The tugboat and Walangge, which were moving forward steadily, slowed down.

　　 Three "Gazantip"-class frigates and two American Perry-class frigates suddenly appeared in the field of vision, and the speed of 30 knots was in front of the Blade.

　　The shipborne naval guns and machine guns, and the muzzle of the Wudongdong, make people feel the terrifying firepower of these weapons.

　　 Wang Guozhu and Peng San looked at each other, and both saw each other's deep concern and heavy psychology.

　　 Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not.

　　 It is probably not a good thing that the Turkish Navy came to intercept with such a big fan.

　　 "Listen to the ship ahead, I am Turkish Rear Admiral Hasa Sadak. You have entered the Turkish waters. Now I order you to stop moving."

　　 Linton Manor, New York.

　　 Su Zhede Tempranpu looked at the young oriental face in front of him, always feeling a little strange.

　　Teng Lampe didn't know if it was an illusion.

　　 But since the guy stopped him, he felt that something was wrong.

　　 Comrade?

　　 Is this guy a gay?

　　 Thinking of what Shen Jiannan calls him, and thinking about Shen Jiannan's absence of his female companion at night, Tempranpu felt the sunflowers tighten, and even felt a little pain.

　　 He felt a little tangled.

　　 If this guy is interested in his own beauty, he has any doubts, do he want to agree?

　　 Promise, I have always hated gays.

　　 But if you don't agree, will you offend this terrifying financial giant in front of you?

Oh, God.

　　 This guy is looking at my beautiful hair.

　　 Damn, he doesn't really want to **** me.

　　 I blamed me for being so handsome.

　　 Shen Jiannan didn't know the time for a while, and Tempranpu thought about a lot of things.

　　 He just found it interesting.

　　 The Tempranpu at this time looked a bit miserable, compared to the later arrogance and the vertical middle finger, it was nothing like the same.

　　 There is nothing wrong with the outfit, a suit with good fabric and a big red tie.

　　 But just now, Shen Jiannan saw with his own eyes that this guy was holding a large piece of beef and gobbled it like a starving ghost reborn.

　　 How long hasn't eaten meat for this special to be so disregarded of image.

　　 Shen Jiannan has no dislike for Tempranpu.

　　From a fair point of view, this guy is actually one of the best people in modern American history.

　　 But in this different time and space, when he met Tempranpu, Shen Jiannan couldn't connect the guy who looked haggard and had a slight fawning and flattery on his slightly thin face with him later.

　　 It may be that Shen Jiannan's eyes are too weird, or it may be that Shen Jiannan's aura is too strong.

　　 Being stared at all the time, Tempranpu felt terrified, very uncomfortable, and even his breathing became a little short.

　　 In order to alleviate the uncomfortable feeling in my heart, Tempranpu picked up a steak and looked at Shen Jiannan cautiously, pushing it in front of him.

　　 "Do you want to taste it? It tastes very good."

　　 There was nothing to eat all night, and Shen Jiannan was also a bit hungry. He took a steak from the tray held by the waiter and took a bite.

　　Not to mention, the food provided by Linton Manor is all top-quality ingredients, and it is also cooked by famous chefs.

　　 Take a bite, the cheese is mixed with a hint of softness, and it is so fragrant that it is almost impossible to eat beef.

　　 "It tastes really good."

　　 Shen Jiannan did not hesitate to praise.

　　 With this praise, Tempranpu followed with a smirk, and then took a big bite of steak.

　　 "I like steak the best."

　　 "Didn't you say you like burgers best?"

　　 "Walt? Burgers? God~lightnovelpub.net~ I hate burgers. You can’t imagine how bad it would be to eat burgers for three years in a row."

　　Tenglandpu seemed to be angered by someone stepping on his tail, which made Shen Jiannan almost choked by the food in his mouth.

　　 But he remembered that this guy in front of him once said he liked burgers the most.

　　 But it seems to be like saying that I don’t like money.

　　 At this moment, Luo Wayne, who had been staring at Shen Jiannan, followed Steven Ann.

　　 "Hello, Mr. Shen. This is my friend Mr. Rowe Wayne."

　　 This time, it's Ron Wayne's turn to feel something wrong.

　　 Shen Jiannan's eyes seemed to be penetrating, and he was staring at him with his jet black eyes, and Rowe Wayne felt as horrified as seeing through his past and present lives.

　　 After just one glance, he never wanted to look at the star-like eyes.

　　 horror.

　　 is really horrible.

　　Ro Wayne couldn't help comparing those eyes with the big people he had ever seen in his heart, but there was never a person who would make him feel irresistible and fearful.

　　 It seems that I don't have any secrets in the eyes of the other party.

　　 This feeling is really too bad.

　　 Fortunately, Shen Jiannan quickly withdrew his condensed gaze. Holding the wine glass in one hand, he reached out to one of the founders of Apple.

　　 "Hello, Mr. Wayne, I've been admired for a long time."
