1255 Balkan Mystery 3

In short, the top Russian leaders were very dissatisfied with the suggestions put forward by Britain and France, but they were dissatisfied with dissatisfaction. The so-called people had to bow their heads under the roof. Russia, which was already a little helpless, naturally did not dare to continue to cause trouble at this time. After expressing that it had given up its right to dispose of Constantinople and the surrounding areas in principle, although the diplomatic departments of both sides were still bargaining, the overall framework had been set. The beginning of the Balkans battle had entered the final stage of substantial preparation.&1t;/p>

In fact, the situation of the Allies in the Balkans is still pretty good. The hundreds of thousands of troops gathered by Serbia still stubbornly withstood the two Austro-Hungarian armies. Although the flanks have been exposed, they have gone through a series of wars last year and have just settled the Romanian Bavarian Legion. Moreover, after the beginning of spring, the Bavarian Legion's goal is five Russian armies in the Polish region. According to the original plan, Serbia can live a few more months.&1t;/p>

If you move your eyes south, Greece has decided to stand on the side of the Allies, and a large amount of materials and troops can be transported to Serbia. Moreover, the 6th British and French armies have also obtained a springboard to directly attack Turkey. No matter how bad Greece is, it is not a big problem to raise more than 20,000 troops. When the Bavarian Legion intervenes on a large scale, the Allies actually have advantages. After all, Turkey is now fighting on the third line, and it is also opening up areas in the Suez Canal, the Balkans and the Transcaucasus, and its troops are very scattered.&1t;/p>

The biggest problem is that in Europe, Turkey does not have enough strategic depth, and Turkey's current European territory is only 30,000 square kilometers together! (In history, Turkey's territory in Europe was less than 23,800 square kilometers, after all, some areas of Istanbul Province are in Asia) What is this concept? The area of ​​this place is equivalent to the size of at most two municipal administrative regions in later generations...&1t;/p>

Britain and France can't use heavy artillery to bombard Constantinople with heavy artillery! Therefore, if the British and French coalition forces move fast enough, it is possible to make major progress before Germany makes deployment. What makes Prince Ruprecht, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front of Germany feels most depressed is that the time when Britain and France plan to attack and the time when Ruprecht prepares for the Polish Pole Campaign for half a year is actually overlapping, which will make the prince very depressed. Of course, this is a God's perspective. The Allies are not very clear about Germany's plan for the time being.&1t;/p>

"If the Russians can launch a moderately large-scale attack on the Eastern Front, it will be very helpful for us to launch the Balkans. In this way, we can open up a third front! The terrain of the Balkans is relatively complex, and the Germans' strong armored troops and heavy artillery swings will be subject to certain restrictions. If we fight here, we will gain a certain advantage. The battle situation in the Balkans will ultimately alleviate our pressure on the Western Front"&1t;/p>

Finally, in a letter to British 6th Army Secretary Kitchener, Lord Hamilton wrote. This became the point for the British senior management to carry out this battle. The British began to prepare for the upcoming Balkans Battle. At the same time, the German side was also analyzing the results and impact of the battle. The prince who was originally in Kil Harbor is now in trouble again.&1t;/p>
