Moreover, continuing to retain the British and French troops in Asia Minor is also of great help to the prince's political layout. After all, as long as the British and French troops do not withdraw, then this is still a front line. Since it is a front line, there must be troops fighting. At that time, will it be the prince's words?

"If the Asia Minor War really ends, for some people, they may not be able to fall asleep because of the existence of 250,000 Bavarian troops?" the prince thought maliciously. For example, the German Social Democratic Party is acting in secret.

The first wave of attacks of the Bavarian Legion must fall on the French. In terms of combat effectiveness, the nine complete French divisions on the northern line at this time are definitely the elite of the Allies in the battlefield in Asia Minor. If the number of technical equipment is simply not much smaller than that of the Bavarian Legion. If we only value the number of artillery, let alone other things, just 30 artillery companies, 150 long-range cannons above 100mm are enough to make people feel terrifying.

The General Staff of the Bavarian Legion estimated that if everyone stands in a stance and fights, the troops that the Bavarian Legion can invest are really not advantageous! The German tanks are better, but their artillery advantages are too great. Although the Luftwaffe Air Force is strong, the more than 300 fighter jets on the opposite side are not vegetarians. At least in the early stage after the battle begins, the air strikes will not have a good attack effect.

"To deal with the French, the maximum number of troops invested is 150,000. What remains are preparations and troops preparing to deal with Ankara. Von Seckett's troops are already very exhausted and will definitely not be used for attacks. So the current situation is that the two sides are fighting a battle of attacks with roughly equal troops and technical equipment." The prince was thinking about the gap between each other in his mind.

The model of positional warfare is absolutely undesirable. The side with the advantage of long-range artillery has too great advantages in positional warfare. Moreover, the prince not only demands to defeat the French, but also the losses of his own side must be limited to a certain range. After all, the elite veterans and the accumulated technical equipment in these troops are hard-won, and it is definitely the most precious military resource for the Kingdom of Bavaria.

"For dealing with the French, three independent armored battalions and two armored divisions, plus four infantry divisions should be almost the same, right? The number of artillery soldiers is not large, but they must be very mobile, so that the opponent cannot catch them. The entire army must move. Fight the breakthrough war and break through." After carefully comparing the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, the prince already had a rough idea. It can only be said that the battlefield here is relatively wide, and the French did not operate for a long time. As long as the mobility is stronger, fighting a mobile war is the best choice. Of course, in order to ensure foolproof, the prince deployed an additional armored brigade and an infantry division as a reserve force.

As for the British side, the prince doesn't need to worry for the time being. After comparing the recent performance of the British Army, the prince believes that the British Expeditionary Force's offensive was already very weak after opening the western gate of Ankara. This is due to the consumption of front-line combat. After all, the British army faced the most elite troops in Turkey and nearly one division of German troops. More than 100,000 British troops are not all elite. Among them, the British front-line troops and the Anzac New Zealand Army are indeed powerful, but nearly half of the colonial troops and the British army on the second line have lowered the overall level of this unit. When the elite troops are quite depleted, the British also need to rest.

As the supply line further lengthened, the logistics pressure of the British gradually increased. The Allied countries initially only set Ankara as the second target, mainly focusing on equipment and logistics vehicles to support the French army on the Northern Line so that they could quickly approach Constantinople. However, now it seems that when the Bavarian Legion blocked the French wave of interludes, the rapid capture of Constantinople had become very slim. Therefore, the Allied countries readjusted the allocation of materials and equipment and made attacking Ankara the focus of their next offensive. After all, Ankara is a city with key defense. If you want to attack, artillery and ammunition must be enough, so the British also need to prepare. There is a time vacuum period.

What Ruprecht caught was this vacuum period! He was ready to launch an offensive against the French army first! He also tried to severely damage the French army before the British truly threatened Ankara, and then the Bavarian army turned to deal with the British army!

In order to ensure the efficiency of this operation, the prince refused the Turkish Sultan's plan to cooperate with the counterattack. The prince at least asked Turkey to prepare supplies for the German army and ensure the smooth flow of logistics transportation lines. The prince did not agree with the combat effectiveness of most Turkish troops. At most, their performance was similar to the previous Hungarian army. If it was another battle, the prince also said that he could cooperate, but in this situation where the two sides had the same force and the other side had the advantage of firepower, a little carelessness would appear, and the prince would naturally not cause trouble for himself.

However, just as the German army was formulating a combat plan in an orderly manner, a group of new guests came to the prince's commander-in-chief. When he saw the black old man Pershing, who once served as the commander-in-chief of the "American Volunteer Army" in the Boer War in South Africa, stood in front of him. Isn't this man still in Brussels not long ago? Why did he come here at once?

By the way, there is the guy behind the old man who is black. The prince can obviously feel that he looks familiar, but at the same time he is sure that he has never seen this U.S. Army personnel. The prince has almost no communication with this U.S. Army. At most, he met U.S. Army personnel several times during the Boer War. So who is this person who feels familiar?

"This is my staff officer, Major Marshall, the best staff officer in the entire US Army. His future will be beyond me." Seeing the prince's eyes falling on the younger brother behind him, the old man hurriedly introduced.

"Oh, Marshall, this guy really surpasses you." No wonder he felt familiar. The prince looked at Major Marshall at this time. This person who played a huge role in the two battles of history and supported Europe to rise again after the war was just an intermediate officer at this time, but no matter what, those with ability can stand out sooner or later. Marshall has shown his edge now. It is definitely not easy to get the praise of the old man from the black.
