"Well, Mr. Army Secretary, now you have time to rethink. Should the cabinet want to make a small fuss, or should it be enough to help our Russian allies overcome the difficulties and then reverse the entire strategic situation in one fell swoop?" Lord Hamilton said jokingly.

"Haha. I guess there are some mistakes." Kitchener smiled bitterly, "General, your request is somewhat different from the conditions we can give at present. As for the opinions of the Russians, we really have to consider it. As for the Bavarian Legion you mentioned, in fact, not only us, but even the armies of the entire Allied countries are unwilling to fight with them without solid fortifications."

"Escape is useless. We must make a decision now. I have a premonition. Maybe Russia can survive this year, but if this continues, they will definitely not last next year! And if Russia is done, the entire German and Austrian army will press on the Western Front, and then our environment will be even worse by then! Maybe the Americans will also take the blame. I admit that the Bavarian army is very powerful, but escaping is not a solution." Lord Hamilton said.

"You are a little unfavorable to the Russians. Maybe the situation is not as we imagined. Maybe the Russians deliberately exaggerated it. Don't forget that even Napoleon integrated the entire European power to expedition Russia. They even defeated Moscow, but still lost to the harsh weather and a large number of Russian teams. The Germans will not be stronger than the most powerful dwarf in the world!" Kitchener said.

"Haha, in fact, we can do a test, and we can send a note to the Russians. If we open up the Dardanelles and force Turkey to withdraw from the war, then Russia will not have the right to participate in the handling of Turkey after the war. If they do not agree, the situation will naturally be far from as serious as they said, but if they agree, it means that Russia's problem is really serious."

"How do you think of this method?" Lord Hamilton looked at the other party with interest after saying that. Just like Churchill can be the Minister of the Shanghai Army, Kitchener is not the only way to fight. This guy is also a civil servant! So the general believes that you explain the situation of the war to him at this time. Russia's logistics and national strength cannot support the war. It is useless to explain that Russia will eventually collapse because of the desperate situation of economy and transportation, because this guy has no research on these things! There are many such things in later generations, such as a certain armored vehicle brigade promoted by Rumsfeld, the Minister of Defense of a world-leading power in later generations.

So persuasion is also about methods. Kitchener is definitely a qualified politician, so he must understand politics! In fact, in just 10 seconds, Kitchener understood all the problems! Why did the Russians establish the Black Sea Fleet? In the last century, why did Britain and France fight with the Russians in a protracted Crimean War in the Black Sea?! At the beginning of the war, why did the Russians refuse any country to enter Constantinople? It’s very simple! The Russians want to obtain an export to the Mediterranean! And Britain and even the French are absolutely unwilling to come in another disruptor in the most important sea area in the world.

Even though we are allies now, Britain and France are still unwilling to let the Russian navy enter and exit the Mediterranean, let alone take Constantinople. The Russians are unwilling to completely control Turkey, thus continuing to lock down the Russian passage from entering and leaving the Mediterranean. Therefore, this is the farce when the war first started. Britain and France said, how about Brother help you open the Dardanelles? The Russians said no. Now, when Britain and France are fighting with Germany on the Western Front and are unwilling to divide their troops, the Russians want Britain and France to open the Dardanelles again!

Kitchener understood the meaning of the general. Control of the Dardanelles involves the fundamental interests of the three giants of the Allied Powers. Even if everyone is an allies, even if it is more difficult, it will never be used as a condition for exchange. If the Russians really agree not to interfere with Turkey's post-war handling, it means that Russia's current situation is very, very bad and has threatened Russia's existence.

"This is indeed a solution," Kitchener nodded and said. "If you can, you can write a plan, your requirements for the Army Department and combat plans. If you can, you'd better mobilize as much of the Japanese army as possible. According to the current reaction on the Western Front, the Japanese army is very tenacious and does not perform worse than the Belgians."

"Haha, okay, I understand." Admiral Hamilton said with a smile. The combat plan was clear. The general who was determined to command the battle of the large army finally solved the problems in the UK. Now it depends on the game within the Allied system. "Russians, don't let us down!"

At the same time, after the end of this battle, Russia also made a fuss about this matter. For the British, they could proudly claim that this battle had achieved great success. The Allied Mediterranean Fleet has become history (although it is not in line with the actual situation. It can be called a heavy blow, but it is still far from destruction.) But for the Russians, this battle was a complete failure, and Mad and the Black Sea Fleet were all fought!

"Where is Eberhard? Escort him to Petrograd for me! I want to judge him personally! No, no, this kind of scum doesn't need to be judged at all! Just pull it out and shoot it! He took less than a day to destroy the accumulation of the Black Sea Fleet for more than ten years! This is a crime! This is a traitor!" When Russian Emperor Nicholas II heard the news, he was angry and tore the telegram to pieces on the spot, and the roar of the king resounded throughout the conference room. Everyone present was silent.

"Your Majesty, Lieutenant General Eberhardt has been killed in battle." Admiral Essen, who was relatively low, couldn't stand it anymore. It is true that Lieutenant General Eberhardt has an unshirkable responsibility for the failure of the Black Sea Fleet, but in his opinion, the main reason was the British Air Force's problem. The air force failed to severely damage the Germans. How do you let the Black Sea Fleet fight? Besides, everyone is dead, it's not good to worry about these things.

"Okay, now we will start to arrange the next commander of the Black Sea Fleet." As soon as he said this, Nicholas II went wild again! Now there is still a ball left in the Black Sea Fleet! Before the third dreadnought is launched, it is better to change it to the Russian Black Sea Fleet's guard team!
