Why is this time good? The reason is very simple. Almost all of Germany and Austria were involved in the east and west lines.

1213 Playing Big 1

Churchill, as a civil servant, thought the problem too simply. Even Lord Hamilton, a leader of the British 6th Army, made another mistake invisibly, that is, whether the battle is worth going on! Or when to go on!&1t;/p>

Will this battle benefit greatly if it succeeds? Of course! That is unquestionable! If Constantinople is contributed, the entire 3b railway will be cut in half, Germany will lose oil in the Mesopotamia, and Turkey is very likely to collapse, and the Allied Trident was instantly cut off. The Allied Mediterranean Fleet may be wiped out, and the best result is that it can only stay in the Black Sea and then change its name to the Allied Black Sea Fleet...&1t;/p>

In order to win this victory, from the perspective of God, there is only one way, that is, to respond to the famous saying of Emperor Napoleon: "Soldiers are the most important, and you will lose if you give up this!" This speed does not mean how fast the British are now prepared, but how fast they are from the battle level! Or, if Britain and France want those here, they must prepare for action within 3 months after the war begins! In other words, on the Western Front, the Bavarian Legion is fighting with the Russians on the Eastern Front, Serbia is suppressing Austro-Hungary to fight, Romania and Bulgaria are still choosing to take action while waiting and watching!&1t;/p>

Why is this time good? The reason is very simple. Almost all of Germany and Austria were involved in the east and west lines. The troops left by the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the Balkans could not even handle Serbia! From the perspective of the 6th Army, the overall situation of the Allies in the Balkans is very good!&1t;/p>

The best thing is that whether it is Romania or Bulgaria, it is neutral at this time! If it weren't for realizing that the other party would definitely choose to join the Allies, the German army would not easily enter these two regions! In other words, it is not easy for Germany and Austria to go through!

Of course, maybe you would say that the Allied Powers were not enough at this time. If it was not enough on the Western Front, how could it be sent to the distant Eastern Mediterranean? That's an amateur! In fact, the British and French armies on the Western Front always had huge military strength advantages, and the number of reserves in their hands was part-time jobs, and it made people feel that they were very particular.&1t;/p>

After the Bavarian Legion ended the battle on the Western Front, after the rest and recuperation, the situation of the British and French armies on the Western Front was like this. At that time, the defense was formed by 7 French armies and three British armies. There were a total of 110 divisions, a total of about 240,000 people. Germany had 6 armies on the Western Front and several combat groups, with a total of 85 divisions and a total of 170,000 troops. At that time, the Bavarian Legion had advanced eastward, and the Markensen Legion was also under construction. The peak of the German army on the Western Front had passed. The British and French armies, plus the Belgians who were fighting soy sauce, had a military advantage of nearly 70,000!&1t;/p>

(This troop comparison is based on the comparison of forces between the two sides on the Western Front in February 1915. In history, the Germans had 94 and a half divisions, with a total force of about 1.90,000, while the British and French armies had 111 divisions, with a total force of about 2.60,000. In fact, before Russia collapsed, Britain and France had a great advantage in military strength. By the beginning of 1916, the total number of British and French reserves was as high as 50 divisions, while Germany had only 26 divisions. Considering that the front-line British and French troops were more than Germany, the advantage was greater! Otherwise, the Allies would not have been able to host 50,000 troops in the Balkans!)&1t;/p>

Britain and France have strong military strength advantages, but in the case of World War 1, the inherent advantages of the defense side are too great. Coupled with the advantages of the equipment and quality of the German army, it is difficult for Britain and France to achieve great results in the offensive. However, at least there is no problem with the issue of stabilizing the front line. After all, we are all powerful countries of the same level, and there will be some differences in combat effectiveness, but the numerical advantage is still important.&1t;/p>

At this time, Britain and France were actually fully capable of drawing some to participate in the offensive against Turkey. Although Greece was still neutral at this time, they had already shown a tendency towards the Allies. During the Battle of the Dardanelles in history, the Allies rented an island 50 nautical miles from the Strait of the Strait as a base. At this time, Turkey was not prepared at all, or the defense was very limited. Most of the troops fought in the Transcaucasus region and later Israel and the Allies. Whether it was to attack Huanglong from the Dardanelles Strait or to land 6 in other places in Turkey's European territory, there was a great chance of success, plus the support of the Japanese in this plane. Just as the Balkan situation was concerned, it was the most beneficial to Britain and France at this time, but unfortunately, Britain and France did not catch it at all!&1t;/p>

The so-called "God's teachings will be harmed if they do not take them." Britain and France did not handle it when Turkey was weakest. Then as time goes by, their chances of success are getting smaller and smaller! Because as time goes by, the Russians become weaker and weaker, and the remaining strength of the German legion on the Eastern Front is also increasing!&1t;/p>

Now, from the perspective of God, for the British, it is not a question of when to fight or how many soldiers to fight, but a question of not being able to fight at all! Yes, it is just that it is impossible to fight! The fruit of victory is indeed tempting, but when you have no ability to pick it, it is better to give up your greed! Especially Churchill, he also chose the most difficult path to succeed - the Dardanelles Strait!&1t;/p>

First, let's take a look at the terrain of the Dardanelles. This narrow strait is 61 kilometers long and has a width ranging from 12 oo meters to 6 o'clock. The average water depth is 55 meters, and the deepest part is 82 meters. The main water area is suitable for minemaking. Both sides of the strait are composed of limestone and sandstone, with cliffs standing in the narrowest part of the strait. Before that, Turkey had built more than 4 o'clock on both sides of the strait, equipped with more than 2 o'clock in the number of various artillery pieces, and there are many new artillery pieces, which is far from the historical level. In the sea, the Turkish Navy also undertook three minefields, with a total of more than 8 o'clock mines! This is not to say that Turkey cannot produce more mines, but because the Spe fleet will go out for a walk when it is fine, to facilitate the operation of the Mediterranean Fleet of the Allied Powers!&1t;/p>

If the difficulties and difficulties faced in the Battle of the Dardanelles in Britain and France in history and there is a possibility of breakthrough, then the difficulty of this battle in this plane is absolutely epic! It is almost impossible to simply break through from the Dardanelles! Even if the British's aviation power has been greatly enhanced in this plane!&1t;/p>

Go away when you are wrong!&1t;/p>
