As for the second reason, it has something to do with the overall strategy. The Russians have been bleed twice on the Eastern Front and countless small bloodlettings, especially in the battle that just ended, the Russian front almost dimmed all the reserves. This not only caused the Russians to jump, but also made Britain and France sweat a cold sweat. Without the reserves and the front line was not consolidated, perhaps the Bavarian Legion's next attack could make the entire Russian front full of holes. Fortunately, the cold winter has come, which makes the Germans' offensive beat. And the newly drawn cannon fodder in Romania attracted another wave of hatred, which made the Russians breathe.&1t;/p>

But Britain and France are very clear that this so-called breathing is just a temporary death... The tragic traffic conditions and industrial capabilities of the Russians are destined to make them unable to replenish the lost equipment. The number of troops can be increased, but the number of heavy weapons can ensure the current level is good. However, the significance of this kind of military expansion is really limited. Therefore, in order to preserve the most important ally of the Allied Power in the east and to better utilize the surplus value of the Russians, Britain and France decided to launch an amphibious battle in April next year to open up the Strait of Dardanelles!&1t;/p>

Britain and France believe that in the 6th War, the coalition forces could not do anything to the German 6th Army, but it was almost certain to fight Turkey. In the perception of the senior leaders of the Allied Powers, with the same force, Germany is higher than Britain and France, higher than Russia, higher than Austro-Hungary and higher than Turkey! In addition, the French Navy is about to complete the restoration work, and the second batch of Japanese fleets will also come to Europe. They have a great advantage in their strength!&1t;/p>

In addition to its military advantages, Greece finally agreed to join the Allied Power after hesitation. Of course, this does not mean that the conditions given by the Allied Powers are good... but because Greece and Turkey are old enemies themselves. If the Allied Powers win the war, the powerful Turkey will definitely cause trouble for Greece again. Who can help Greece at that time?&1t;/p>

The attitude of Britain and France is also quite tough. The British ambassador to Greece once threatened that if he could not become friends, he would be an enemy! In addition, Serbia in the north still has an advantage in fighting the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After weighing the trade-offs and then Greece agreed to join the Allies. At the same time, it expressed its willingness to launch an offensive on 6 grounds to assist the Allies' strategy in the Strait of Dardanelles!&1t;/p>

Opening up the Strait of Dardanelles and transporting materials to Russia is one aspect. At the same time, taking down Istanbul and forcing Turkey to launch a war, and storing the Allied Mediterranean fleet is also of great strategic value! If this goal can be achieved, it can not only rescue Russia, but also kill Turkey and cut off the ties between Germany's mainland and the Mesopotamian Basin. It can also completely solve the largest overseas fleet of the Allied countries except the North Sea. This is simply a kill of three kills!&1t;/p>

By then, even the French fleet and the Japanese fleet can come to the North Sea to suppress the Germans. The united Allied fleet will gain an overwhelming advantage in the North Sea again! By then, the British, French and Japanese fleets gathered in the Shedland Islands, and they will not obey the German fleet? By then, Jerry Fiction would imagine that he could preside over the largest sea surrender ceremony in history!&1t;/p>

Well, let's not talk about anything else, in short, find a way to win first! The French have said that they will send at least 70,000 troops to the war, and the French Navy will cooperate with them with all their strength. The Japanese said that they can provide 30,000 yuan with low prices and cannon fodder. The Japanese Navy will also increase its strength. Even the Australian Legion and Canadian Legion in the Commonwealth expressed their willingness to participate in the war. Well, should the Royal Navy also express their intention! And it is precisely because of this statement... that makes Jericho very troublesome!&1t;/p>

At first, Jericho waved his pen and directly suggested that the Straits Fleet draw two former fearless battle groups to pass by. But how could the French be so easy to fool?! They said that these old-fashioned warships have no value except providing fire support to the ground. Even the French navy representatives said very explicitly: "Instead of letting the large fleet sit on the Shedelan Islands and blow the northwest wind, it is better to go around the warm Mediterranean Sea... At least the weather is fine, isn't it?"&1t;/p>

At that time, Jericho wanted to jump up and pick up the ashtray next to him to represent the Royal Navy to fight against his opponent. Churchill thought that it would be a bit "unreasonable" if the Grand Fleet had no main ships in this battle. Originally, he planned to draw a complete battleship team, but after Thomas' incident, Churchill believed that sending two fearless battleships to the Dardanelles was "enough".,&1t;/p>

However, it was not only the two fearless and two teams of former fearless battleships, but also a large number of auxiliary battleships. In this way, the auxiliary power of the large fleet was temporarily weakened. In this case, the large fleet was weakened from almost all aspects. In this case, it became inevitable that Jericho and the British Admiralty would eventually choose to shrink!&1t;/p>

This contraction is different from the defensive action taken by the Royal Navy after the Thunder-Sebruce operation. That time, the Royal Navy chose to temporarily avoid, reduce risks, and wait for opportunities. Although it was a bit heavy on the Internet, it was definitely not a problem. The Royal Navy still had the opportunity to re-complete the blockade of Germany. Just like Thomas' siege against German battlecruisers a few months ago!&1t;/p>

But this time it was really different. After losing 5 main battles in a row, when the situation on the entire battlefield changed drastically. It was difficult for the Royal Navy to recover again in a short period of time. This was not only because the loss was greater than the supplementary level, but more importantly, the threat from other strategic directions forced the Royal Navy to distribute some of its forces to put out the fire. The originally clenched fists were forced to disperse, which was fine. You still had a hand, but the attack power was no longer the same as before!&1t;/p>

Perhaps, after the Allies resolved the Mediterranean issue, the Allies fleet could still gather in the North Sea, but that was at least nearly a year later. This was not because the British saw how high Turkey was, but because in the Dardanelles, the Allies deployed 6 powerful battleships after all! Even if the Allies could kill them, they would pay a very heavy price! Look at the most powerful Fuso-class battleship in the Allies, which was beaten back to repair for 3 months if they had an advantage. Therefore, after the war, even if they won, the Allies fleet would need to slowly recover their health...&1t;/p>

What will happen in one year? Jericho doesn't know, but Jericho knows that if both sides cannot end this war that is equivalent to chronic suicide in one year, then even if the British Empire wins, it may fall from the peak of its strength. The decline of Britain is a long-term process. If there is no war, Jericho may not be able to see it in his lifetime, but now, it can only be said that the future is unpredictable.&1t;/p>

"The day of the Navy may be the tomorrow of the Empire!" Jericho wrote in his diary when he learned that the Navy's Department decided to shrink its fleet.&1t;/p>
