On January 9, 1915, the Allied forces landed within the Suez Canal. Only the powerful British who controlled the Suez Canal could have such a big deal and closed the Suez Canal for a whole day. Even in the war, when the merchant ships of the Allied countries passed through the Suez Canal disappeared, the Suez Canal was quite busy, and a day was enough to make the canal line up.

The Suez Canal is only a canal connecting the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, but it is not a port. Most ships must pass at a certified speed after entering the Suez Canal. In the era without computers, maintaining the ship's raft and constant speed is what they must do. However, the British landed on the Suez Canal without having the conditions for landing. At least 12 landing sites in the Suez Canal were logged in at the same time. They made corresponding adjustments and preparations before. The 500,000 army completed the landing for most of the day.

In order to protect the Suez Canal, the UK stationed nearly 30,000 troops nearby, respectively, in the north and south of the canal, 17 military camps in the north and north of the canal, 12 of which were requisitioned for simple rest and rest of the convoy team. They would have been rested for more than half a month, adapted to the Middle East environment, and then headed towards the target.

This time, the 500,000 troops of the Allies who came to the Middle East had a total of 35 divisions, 11 US troops, 5 French troops, and British troops occupied half of 19, of which one third were the troops pulled down by powerful Bordeaux. These troops were a minority even among the countries of the Allies. As for the armed forces, they were even stronger, especially the three US divisions were built according to the standards of the whole of Germany, with strong firepower, and half of them were withdrawn from the Bordeaux frontline.

The foundation of Britain next to the Suez Canal is the foundation of the United States' choice. It has spent a lot of effort before and stored 10 arsenals next to the Suez Canal, which is enough to support the high-intensity battle of the 500,000 army for more than half a year.

It was these that made the Americans take risks. The troops of the three divisions were all elite, partly removed from Bordeaux, and partly through special training and mastering a large number of artillery operations in China. If this tactic can be implemented, the United States will focus on developing such troops, even if it is expensive to do so.

In the eyes of the Allies, the Allies would not know their plan of action. At least before they started to take action, the reason why they did not land in Egypt and chose to land in the Suez Canal, an absolutely safe place, was also confidential. The rapid fleet and the Suez Canal will give them 5-7 days. After the 500,000 troops completed adaptive training, they will gradually move northward along the Suez Canal's original location in the United Arab Emirates, rush directly to Baghdad, and completely cut off the 3B railway.

In seven or eight days, even if the Allies discovered their actions and responded urgently, it was too late to mobilize troops through the 3b railway. As for the further distance, it would be even more impossible.

In fact, the Allied Powers' measures were quite sharp, and they considered the problems very deeply. Almost every step was taken into account. China discovered the problems a little earlier. This was not because the Allied Powers did not expect, but because China's deployment in the Middle East was relatively powerful, and it discovered the traces and purpose of the Allied Powers' army three days earlier than they expected.

With China's actual intervention, if the Allied forces left the action immediately after they stepped into the Middle East, they were still confused about what the Allied forces were for, and they could not react at all, and China was the same. The Middle East and the Arabian Peninsula were not very large. If they marched quickly, they could break through the entire peninsula in half a month and rush to Baghdad from the Suez Canal, which was hundreds of kilometers. Turkey's armed forces in the Middle East, including Iraq's local armed forces, could not stop the wolf-like and tiger-like alliance team.

In that case, the 3b railway may be cut off without any preparation. Even if it is urgently transported, it is impossible for Germany to obtain enough resources. Unless China starts large-scale air transport, it will be impossible to guarantee Germany's supply. A Germany, which has entered a state of war and is still the most violent trench war, consumes almost astronomical every day. That is, the Basra, which has been transformed, containerized and tower craneized, can withstand such a large amount of resources. Once cut off, the chain reaction will cause Germany to fall into chaos and directly affect the situation in Europe.

To be on the safe side, the Allies chose adaptive training. Although adaptive training is only 15 days, it is impossible to give others the opportunity to mobilize troops. Exceptions are the case. China has long-distance projection ability. As long as it uses the air force, it is much faster than the army and navy.

In order to make the Nanyang Navy, the strategic air force was urgently taken off from the northwest, and it was thousands of miles away to Southeast Asia. Now the strategic position of the Middle East is more important. As a place to replace the first batch of large four-engine transport aircraft, the Nanyang can transport troops to the Basra as fast as possible.

At this moment, the Entente team doing restorative training in the barracks of the Suez Canal did not know that a classic special operation would fall on them. This method of direct combat, which was different from the previous ones, was now about to fall on the Allies.

After learning about the actions of the Allied Powers, China was not indifferent. It was not difficult to mobilize troops from Lan Fang. Even before the Allied Powers launched an attack, they could reach the Arabian Peninsula. However, the General Staff suppressed this proposal and would not suffer huge losses. It was impossible to achieve the purpose of expanding their influence. They were to win, not to achieve too much victory, nor to fight without any benefit. The Allied Powers had basically agreed that after the war, Lan Fang would define a certain sphere of influence in the area occupied by the Allied Powers. In the eyes of the Allied Powers, this was just a damage to Turkey's interests.

It only harms interests, and of course it cannot last long. China made a decision to exempt Turkey from debt of US$300 million, which directly prompted Turkey to agree that it may be from Baghra to Baghdad in the future and then demarcate a certain sphere of influence to the coastline.

China also knows that under the current state, this is the best result. It is impossible to occupy the entire Arabian Peninsula. Even if it is a desert, it is located at the junction of Asia, Africa and Latin America. There is also the Suez Canal on one side. Even if the canal is not controlled by the British, it is impossible to get the Chinese to approach it. At most, it is like this. From Basra, it takes up a line to occupy part of Iraq, all Kuwait, and some Saudi Arabia, which may have nearly 500,000 square kilometers, accounting for almost one-sixth of the entire Arabian Peninsula.

However, most of these sixths are located on the Persian Gulf side and on the other side, the Suez Canal, which is the most elite area on the entire Arabian Peninsula. Whether it is Germany or Turkey, the Chinese are not allowed to intervene. Once the Allies defeat it, it will be the most fruitful spoil.

It occupies seven seas, usually with warships and fleets as the main force, but the famous straits are also the key. There are four famous straits in the world, connecting the Atlantic Ocean and the Strait of Gibraltar, the Suez Canal, the Panama Canal and the Strait of Malacca. These are almost all connected to two oceans, or huge sea areas like the Mediterranean, all based on states. Three of them are in the hands of the British, which is enough to prove the strength of the British Empire in the past few hundred years.

Now that the Strait of Malacca is occupied by China, the only one in Britain is left with the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal. If the Allies defeat it, Germany will not let the Strait of Gibraltar be spared. As for the Suez Canal, it may not be monopolized, but it will take the dominance. This is the representative of maritime power.

All these are far away. From a city with a radius of only 30 kilometers to now, Yang Yuanzhao is still content with millions of square kilometers of land. Although he cannot take over the entire Saudi territory, he occupies the essence of Iraq, Kuwait, and some parts of the Persian Gulf. There is absolutely a lot of oil reserves in terms of meat. Only by eating it can you be yourself.

Lan Fang's troops started to prepare for the time being. They were transported to the Arabian Peninsula little by little based on 50,000 people, and eventually 300,000 people would be sent. As for whether the Allies cut off the 3B railway, it doesn't matter. Anyway, a lot of materials had been transported in half a month, which was at least enough for Germany to use for 2 months. Now, every extra day of transportation can last for 4 more days. This loss can be borne.

The army can be slowed down, and it doesn’t matter whether Baghdad can defend it. It’s better to occupy it, and it’s okay to not occupy it. If Baghdad can use Baghdad to annihilate the 500,000 troops sent by the Allies here, it would be the best.

However, sending troops slowly does not mean that there is no action. If the Envoy Team is allowed to rest and attack Baghdad, they will be able to use the 3b railway to transport materials. The North Line Railway Construction Plan is underway and it will take at least 3 months, which means that at least the Envoy Team will delay the arrival of Envoy Team in Baghdad by about 10 to 15 days.

For such a long time, it is almost impossible for Iraqi armed forces, so Lan Fang must take action. The army with less than 50,000 cannot do such a thing at all, so there is only one choice left, that is, to use special forces to delay their attack.

Currently, under China's control, the closest to the Middle East and most suitable for the climatic conditions in the Middle East, is Lan Fang's special forces, and Lan Fang is also able to transport them to Basra in a short time. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
