In London, in the conference hall of the Supreme Command of the Allies, sitting on the left side of the venue was the host British, led by British Prime Minister Herbert Henry Asquis. Below were the Marshal of the Army Lord Hamilton and the Minister of the Navy Churchill. Sitting opposite were French Prime Minister Louis Bardu and French Army General Betton. Today, the topic they need to discuss is no longer the war on the Western Front, because compared with the solidified Western Front battlefield, the situation on the Eastern Front made them most worried!

"The Russians are finished. According to our estimates, after the Germans launched two consecutive battles, the Russians lost about 1.5 million troops, of which more than 1.3 million were deaths and burdens, which were irrecoverable losses. Even if the Russians could bear such huge manpower losses, they would definitely not be able to bear equipment losses. Perhaps it would not take long, a considerable number of Russian soldiers would probably go to the battlefield with machetes or spears." Prime Minister Herbert's words were full of pessimism.

"So, in order to save Russia and to save ourselves, I think the original Great Neil Strait offensive and the Balkan battlefield could not achieve our battle goals! Because in Romania, the strongest legion of the Allies was eyeing each other. Everyone should be very clear about the performance of the Bavarian legion on the Western Front, right?" Lord Hamilton said.

As a veteran who fought for the British Empire since the 1970s, this guy can survive until now, which shows that he is absolutely capable. Maybe he is a bit out of tactics, but there is definitely a strategic vision! Lord Hamilton can naturally see the problems that Markens can see. How can the army be launched in those small places? (In history, if it were not in the Dardanelles Strait, but in a plain, the British and French troops landed on it could definitely easily beat the Turks into dogs.)

If it were before, the top leaders of Britain and France would still have some doubts about using troops in the distant Balkan Peninsula, but now there is no doubt because this is the only way to save the Russians! This is the juncture of life and death. Therefore, even if Britain and France are unwilling to do so, they still made great efforts to mobilize troops in the Balkan War Zone. The Anzac New Zealand Army under the British, the local reserve division, the Indian Legion, the French Black North African troops, and the second-line troops that had just been rested. The Japanese cannon fodder sent to Europe again were all drawn and collected together. This time, Britain and France decided to deal with Turkey with a new front!

"We agreed in principle to land in the Turkish port city of Izmir in western Asia Minor and then set out towards Constantinople. But we need additional air force, and it will take time to deploy military and equipment. If your country's offensive in the Balkans and the Dardanelles remains unchanged, it will be difficult for us to act together." Admiral Betton, sitting opposite Lord Hamilton, said.

Before this meeting, both Britain and France had negotiated that the Northern Line Balkans and the Dardanelles were responsible for Britain, Japan and Greece. The southern Line landing operations in Asia Minor were responsible for France. The two troops launched an attack on Constantinople together and completely cut off the 3b railway! However, because the so-called southern Line plan was proposed recently, the French army was not prepared enough, so the attack time would be relatively late, which might give the allies the opportunity to defeat each other.

"It's too late. If we don't take action immediately, the Germans will probably have to parade in front of the square in St. Petersburg! Nicholas II is on the verge of collapse, and his regime is in panic." Herbert shook his head and said.

"Are we ready to deal with emergencies?" asked Baldu.

"It's a bit early to discuss this matter. Tsarist Russia is still our firm ally. Even if Emperor Nikolai has some accidents, as long as we can open a gap in the direction of Turkey, everything will be fine. Even if there are some accidents in the Russian Emperor, it will not affect the overall situation." Herbert said in a pun.

"Well, that's fine. It doesn't matter who controls the Russian regime. As long as they are still on our side, they can help us restrain some of the German army." Bardu nodded and said.

"The combat effectiveness of the Greek troops is not worth looking forward to. Although 200,000 troops have been concentrated, the maximum number of them can be fought is only about 60,000. I think it would be better to take on the logistical tasks for the rest. The ANZE has deployed 5 divisions in Greece for about 70,000. The Japanese have deployed 2 divisions, including the so-called Fukuoka Division. Their organization is relatively large, with 40,000 troops in 2 divisions. In three days, three local second-line divisions will arrive in Greece one after another. By then, we must attack and cannot wait!" Lord Hamilton said.

"The aviation force has also been in place. Five air wings, a total of about 600 aircraft of various types have been deployed in Greece. We must launch an offensive before the Bavarian Air Force goes south. The navy is also ready. The main force of the Spey fleet is still lying on the ship platform. Our complete super fearless team and the French Navy can completely block the Dardanelles. The 15 front dreadnoughts of the three Royal Navy teams can be responsible for supporting your country's landing in Asia Minor." Churchill said on the side.

"The French Legion will deploy 10 divisions in the Mediterranean theater as scheduled, with a total of 140,000 troops and 300 various aircraft. But this will take time. We will complete the deployment in as early as 2 weeks, and there is a clear time difference between us. I hope you can seriously consider our opinions." Bardu insisted.

"Then I can only express my regret. Although we cannot launch an attack together, we will still cooperate with each other." Herbert made a helpless gesture.

"By the way, what is the opinion of the spectator on the wall?" said Baldu. After formulating the forces of both sides and the war time, the two sides began to discuss another issue, and the importance of this issue is no less than the previous Balkan battle!

"Is Italy? They are still hesitating. If they were to be inclined to us before, then now, after the millions of Russian troops were destroyed in just a few weeks, the Italian king has become neutral. Unless we can fight a subversive battle in the Balkans!" said Herbert.
