misak i milli was the main geopolitical goal of turkish republic during atatürk's era that turkey have followed ! ! ! only hatay were returned to turkey and with atatürk's death mostly forgotten !! im given an alternative time line where turkey perpared for ww2 and enter the war to achive its geopolitical goal !! by late 1943 where germans pushed to carparthan mountins and americans and biritish landed in italy before surrender of italy and bulgaria should be the time turkey joins the war on allied side !!
the problems before i start is the fact that not only turkey didnt had industries and white collier experts but also only 5% of people were illeitrate and even them were educated either by quran and hadith or by military academy !! also turkey didnt had national railway they were owned y forginers and were disconnected moreover atatürk had crippling ottoman debte to deal with + the Orphne generation and maimed and mutalated manpower in ww1
for turkey to enter ww2 Mosul and Kirkuk must be taken by Lausanne treaty even though the oil production was in its infancy it can kick start turkish industrization effort
for industries i will make another post but lets say turkey quickly industrized and produced metals and food + alot of steel and oil which were stratigc recourse !! to pervent german's access to oil biritish probliy would buy all oil production for next 20 years above market price which turkey can use this deal to pressure biritish to license airplane engine in turkey such as mercury viii 830HP which they export to their close alined natural countries
the main supplier of weapons and tach transferrer would be the natural countries mainly czechslovakia netherland and sweden and turkey could leverage its strategic resources to gain license production !! turkey offer them resource in dire situation when german pressure is at it's highest
for airforce netherland can offer
Fokker D.XXI as fighter
Fokker G1 as close air support and with some modification anti submarine and torpeo plane !!
fokker D.X.X.I would act as back bone of turkish airforce as fighter plane its decent plane and the one most realistcly be allowed to be produce in turkey as most countries wont allow that !! while fokker g1 which act as heavy fighter with 8 MG and a bomb bay which can carry close to 500kg bomb and a back MG to shoot back at enemy behind the plane ! it can replace some of its MG with autocannon and being used as CAS or modified remove the rare MG and replace it with fuel tank and add torpedo and depth chargers for anti ship and anti submarine opration !! also fokker T.V can act as heavy airplane of turkish airforce for cargo plane, paratrooper carrier, bomber , VIP transport !
for navy like airforce netherland would be the main supplier of ships
some ships could be build in istanbul shipyard and some can be build in netherland to meet the demand of the navy
LT 35
LT38
for tanks turkey's only option is the czechslovakia's LT 35 and LT 38 the latter especially was considered advanced for its time and later used by germanz as Panzer 38 t. these tanks are the only one turkey could realistically hope to get a licence production in home territories ! and must secure it before they are taken over by Germany
