Chapter 1368 Responses From Britain and France II

Chapter 1368 The reaction of Britain and France 2

"Efforts always pay off! Don't you? Believe me, my lord Prime Minister. When the French Army is willing to invest more than 8 divisions of troops and artillery, the Turks will definitely not last a week! We can fully react in the Bavarian Army Take Constantinople before!" When Libo said these words, Asquith finally understood what the president wanted, and he couldn't help scolding him severely in his heart. "A guy like a mouse!"

He senses it now, the French now want to discuss the division of post-war Turkey! Moreover, it can be seen from the few words of the other party that the French already have a more detailed plan. For example, this can be seen from the strength of the troops mentioned by Ribo just now. The French intend to invest a large number of troops in a short period of time, and then go straight to Constantinople with lightning speed, and after they have settled Turkey, they will quickly join forces in the mainland! They are still full of confidence in their fighting power! At least when facing the Turks!

"Jerusalem, Jordan and the surrounding areas could become French colonies or protectorates after the war," said Prime Minister Asquith.

"Hehe, respected Prime Minister, we are discussing a very serious issue. After the war, Turkey can retain the Asia Minor region. Mesopotamia and other areas must be removed. And the Russians promise not to interfere with Turkey's interests. Then I would like to ask, is your Excellency only willing to give France such a little thing?" Ribo sneered.

"France lacks oil. The British Empire owns Persia as an oil field. France also needs its own oil fields. We don't need the outlets of the Mesopotamia. However, we must have the oil fields of the Mesopotamia, at least 60%! This is the premise! Hundreds of thousands of French troops cannot invest in vain!" Libo said.

"I can only guarantee that you will get 40%!" Asquith refused to budge.

"Which one of us hits Constantinople first, whoever gets the other 20%, how about it?" Prime Minister Ribo looked up at the other party after speaking. There seems to be some provocation in the eyes!

"Deal! The British Empire is responsible for attacking Constantinople from the sea. France is responsible for attacking from land. That's it! Our fleet will enter the outskirts of the Dardanelles on March 10 at the latest. I hope you can move faster ’ said Asquith.

"Very well, the French army can go to Greece in 10 days, and we can enter the attack position before March 8." Ribo said without hesitation.

"It seems that your country is determined to win." Asquith didn't know whether it was a compliment or a sarcasm.

Russia has indeed reached the point where it will die if it does not continue its life. Britain and France have long coveted the declining empire of Turkey. The fertile Mesopotamia and the Mediterranean coast are their aspirations. Therefore, although there will be some intrigues in the talks.

However, on the issue of quickly dispatching troops to open up the Black Sea route, the views of Britain and France are still the same. Although they know that less than a month is a bit difficult to prepare for such a large-scale expedition. But they can't afford to wait now!

The French moved quickly, drawing 2 divisions from the reserve and 2 divisions with combat experience from the front. Then 2 divisions were drawn from the colony to form the advance force of the expeditionary force. Greece has been controlled by the puppets of Britain and France. As soon as the French arrive, they can immediately announce their membership in the Allied Powers. After a transfer of interests, Italy expressed its willingness to transport "non-weapon materials" such as food, horses, vehicles and other materials for Britain and France. And following the status of a neutral country, Italy also benefited from both sides of the war. In addition to helping Britain and France transport. He also served as a material transfer station for Germany and Austria.

The British Royal Navy began to draw a large number of former Dreadnoughts from the Channel Fleet as a support fleet. A week later, the super dreadnoughts drawn from the main force of the Grand Fleet were also preparing to leave the British mainland for the Mediterranean. Together with the French fleet, they will form an absolute advantage over the remaining German warships in the Mediterranean. The Australian and New Zealand regiments originally deployed in Egypt quickly rushed to Greece. Making final preparations before entering the war.

And Japan, the hungry wolf from the Far East, also responded to the hunt. After bargaining between the two parties, a brand new Japanese division, the Seventh Division stationed in the Fukuoka area, crossed the entire Pacific Ocean on a neutral ship and then crossed the Panama Canal into the Atlantic Ocean. Another division will also follow the same route to Europe within half a month at most.

The Allies began to draw troops from all fronts to prepare for this strategic strike. At the same time, the Eastern Front and the Balkan Front of the Allies also began to respond! Three Bavarian divisions were withdrawn from the front, put on Austrian uniforms and entered Bulgaria.

At the same time, the Austro-Hungarian Army began to work with the Bulgarian Army to continuously attack the remaining Serbian troops! However, this time, the Serbian Legion, which had defeated the Austro-Hungarian Army at the beginning of the war, performed unusually weakly, except that a large number of elite soldiers and experienced officers were consumed in the war last year. In order to ensure the supply of their troops in the Balkans, the French began to reduce their support for Serbia. As a result, under the two-line attack of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Bulgaria, the Serbian army was forced to withdraw to Greece!

Before the official start of the Balkan campaign, both sides began to moderately intervene in the battlefield in order to clean up some secondary factors. Ruprecht needs to get a starting position as good as possible, and must completely kill the Serbian Army. He needs his troops to hide on the border between Bulgaria and Turkey so that he can access the battlefield at any time and catch the French by surprise from the side.

But before that, he must use the forces in his hands carefully. He needs to let the British and French allied forces walk into this trap and then fall into it. It is okay to beat the prey properly, but if the prey is aware of the danger and then turns away, That would be too much to lose!

Ruprecht hid his troops as much as possible, not only the clothing, but even the heavy equipment, especially the iconic equipment of the Bavarian Army, was well covered with various canvases, and then from a station at night Drive to the next station, and finally use your precious motorcycle hours to go to a woods, or a mountain depression. Carry out concealment, like a cheetah before hunting, looking at distant opponents with indifferent but sharp eyes!

"Your Highness, the Russians have taken action in the Baltic Sea." Just as the Balkan Peninsula was in turmoil, the Baltic Sea battle also kicked off!
