M_Deity4mthCommentedDo not underestimate the circulation of information in the Middle Ages. At that time, everyone already knew what firearms were and, moreover, they were actively using them. For example, even during the siege of Constantinople by Murad 2, firearms were used in a certain amount on both sides of the conflict. And the Uzun Hassan you mentioned directly asked Venice for it during the struggle against the Ottomans. Therefore, the universal "admiration" for firearms looks ridiculous.

I see, then here are a few important points: 1) Chapter 588. The Ottomans could not have any arquebuses or other firearms. Hand firearms in the Ottoman army appeared only in the late 15th - early 16th century. And this was in our world, where the Ottomans seized Constantinople, had Orban and his son, money and stable power. Moreover, if the Sultan mentions these arquebuses during his speech before the decisive battle, it means that there are at least several dozen arquebuses. These several dozen arquebuses would have had no less impact than Roman cannons, since, unlike arrows, they would have pierced through Roman shields. Well, the psychological effect can also be added here. 2) The Roman fleet came from nowhere. When Abraham and the entire Roman fleet drowned with him and the decisive battle with Venice was lost, everyone said that it would take years to restore this fleet. Therefore, due to the fact that there were simply no ships, it was now impossible to fight with the Venetians, so they switched to other lands (again, in reality it would have been necessary to sign peace on the terms of Venice or they would have continued to do a lot of bad things, and you could not do anything in response). And then suddenly, out of nowhere, just a year later and without explanation, the fleet appears... And the Venetians, having destroyed the enemy fleet for some reason, do nothing, although they can, and moreover, this is a good chance for them, for example, to take the islands from Antonius or to blockade Thessaloniki.

And when did Abraham come to life? Did I forget or miss something?
