Churchill was a military layman. Sir Hamilton was stronger than Churchill. After all, he was also a tried and tested general of the British Empire. He fought for the interests of the British Empire for decades. Well, most of the battles were public security wars. So he saw that Churchill's landing battle in the Strait of Dardanelles would not be successful. So he planned to make things bigger and consider launching an offensive from land with Greece, and prepare to fight the Bavarian Legion!

This seems right! Lord Hamilton has taken into account the various variables on the battlefield and put forward his own opinions to concentrate more troops and launch an offensive from land with the Greeks. The navy and other landing troops launched an attack on the Dardanelles at the same time, killing the opponent from both directions with lightning speed! What a great plan!

However, both Churchill and Lord Hamilton ignored one thing, that is, they all unknowingly expanded a limited-scale battle! When a battle is halfway through, when a battle reaches a certain level and has extraordinary political influence, purely military considerations may deflect in other directions! And this is how the Battle of Dardanelles in history!

You know, at the beginning, the entire British and French coalition landed only about 75,000 people! Then, you can say that for victory, or for face, and for political reasons, the Allied Legion continued to increase its investment layer by layer! In the end, 500,000 Allied Army was successively invested in this battle with a low chance of victory! The price paid was far beyond the original idea!

However, political demand or so-called face cannot solve the military problems. In a place where troops cannot be deployed, no matter how much troops are invested, the marginal effect of troops will only continue to decline! Therefore, if you can't defeat it, you just can't defeat it. Is it useful to face it? Isn't it going to end in the end? And the disastrous defeat on the battlefield once again affected politics!

Look at the Allies fleet with absolute maritime advantages and the six-digit landing troops. They fought a Turkey called the "Sick Man of West Asia" and could not fight for a long time! After fighting for ten months, what did you think of the Balkan fenceists? How could those fencemen trust your strength of Britain and France? So, a series of chain reactions occurred, and Bulgaria took the lead first! In history, Greece also kept a certain distance from the Allies again. However, Serbia died. (Serbia said why you fought in the Strait of Dardanelles, but I was the one who took the blame in the end?!)

In fact, this kind of layer-by-layer increase in history is not uncommon. Not to mention that there are various loopholes in the planning of the Battle of Dardanelles, and the navy and army are quarreling. Even the planned battles also have the possibility of "playing big". For example, the Battle of Verdun, Farkinham initially just wanted to fight a limited war of attrition, attract the French, and then use the artillery that the German Army is proud of to remove them. Then, the Germans found out that at the critical moment, they "can't control their own hands", constantly increasing the chips, then consume them, and then increasing the chips, and then consume them. Until the Germans can't fight, Farkinham stepped down, so they stopped.

Although there are various problems in the Battle of Dardanelles and the Battle of Verdun, there are typical examples of not being able to stop and knowing when to start the battle, but not knowing how to end it. But it is understandable, at least the strategic value is great enough. When the Battle of Dardanelles is successful, Turkey will kneel down! If the Fortress of Verdun is successful, it will really become a crusher to crush the entire French front. Moreover, at the beginning, as the attacking side, it does have many advantages, and it needs to be said that Britain and France are absolutely naval advantage. The German legion in the Fortress of Verdun was also very fierce at the beginning, and the battle losses were a great advantage. In fact, in the end, the later stages where the French troops and firepower were absolutely superior, the Germans still made a profit, but their family background was limited.

What is most incomprehensible and depressing is that some battles have quickly developed into being uncontrollable for pure fighting spirit. For a place where strategic value is not too high, one side will be the most powerful, and then finally finds a big loss. Is there such a thing? Of course there is! The Battle of Guadalam!

Let us recall the process of the Guadalam Battle, and you will find how funny this battle is! The Japanese found that Guadalam is very good and suitable for setting up mining divisions. No, it was to establish an aviation base, so they sent thousands of people to prepare. Then this was the first time the Japanese were funny. When you opened a mining division, you didn't leave enough defense forces, and there was no warning! And you didn't tell the army that this was not mining, it was stealing mines! And it was stole under the noses of Americans! I was afraid that people would not see it!

Everyone knows what happened next. The Americans naturally discovered the Japanese subdivision, but the Japanese did not find that the Americans came to demolish the mines. Including the engineers and aviation personnel, a total of less than 4,000 Japanese troops were directly pressed to the ground by tens of thousands of American troops! More than half of the subdivision base was built and they became Americans! This matter was lost so much that they were confused!

At this moment, the Japanese completely ran away. When did the locust army suffer this loss? So when it was difficult for Rabaul Air Base to provide effective support, after pulling up the army, the Joint Fleet decisively made a big wave with the Americans. This is the famous Battle of Santa Cruz in history. Don’t say that the battle result was not bad. Two Japanese aircraft carriers were injured, and the Americans directly hung up one and injured one. Tactical terms were the Japanese aircraft carriers dominant. It was the last big victory for the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet (well, there were not many wins in total)

However, tactical victory cannot cover up strategic failure. In the two battles in which aviation dominates the sea surface. After the Japanese and American maritime maneuver aviation forces left the field at the same time, the Americans also had the Guadalam air base as the support point. The existence time of the fighter jets flying over Guadalam can only be calculated in minutes. No matter how you look at it, there is no chance of winning. Then, the Japanese Navy continued to fight with the Americans at the doorstep of the Americans! They also pitted the army! After throwing away two battleships, a large number of cruisers and destroyers in a row, and after losing hundreds of various aircraft, the Japanese finally knew that they could not continue to fight. By this time, Japan had already lost too much!
