Chapter 1451 Strategic Adjustment

But what about now? After a violent beating by the Bavarian Air Force and Army, both Lord Hamilton, Lieutenant General Trenchard in charge of the Air Force, and Sir Fisher felt that the original plan was basically impossible to realize. In particular, Sir Fisher said bluntly in his telegram to Lord Hamilton, "If the Bavarian Air Force cannot be completely suppressed, then with reference to the former's horrific record in the Baltic Sea, my fleet entering the Dardanelles during the day is tantamount to Die!"

Later, when Lord Hamilton asked Admiral Trenchard whether the Royal Air Force of the British Empire had the ability to suppress the Bavarian Air Force, the latter's answer was unusually simple. "Even if we deploy 600 of the most advanced combat aircraft here, we can't completely curb the Bavarian Air Force's air attack on the Allied fleet in the strait! The latter has a lot of advantages in aviation technology and tactics, and their fighter jets are more flexible and lethal! And even if they are alone, Facing the K-6 bomber, our fighters still have to pay an extremely heavy price to shoot it down!"

Then, after synthesizing the two current opinions, Lord Hamilton realized that if he kept the original plan and still attacked Huanglong in the middle and attacked the Dardanelles, he would basically be sent away! Therefore, this plan must be changed now!

However, being aware of a problem does not mean that it can be solved…. If the attack on the Dardanelles is abandoned, where will the British army start? Continue to choose the Greek front? Please, how can we deploy so many troops in the crazy terrain of northeastern Greece? Moreover, the northern front is very long. It is like a snake exposing its most vulnerable body part to the opponent's sharp knife, but there is no way. The British have not thought of using terrain defense, but what is the result of the defense? The Bavarian Army invested only 3 divisions, and then the British and Japanese troops were disabled at least 2 divisions, and then 2 divisions were severely damaged. The losses of the second-rate troops and the Greek troops are not included...

Now, Lord Hamilton is quite insecure about his flanks! And now after fighting the Bavarian Army, Lord Hamilton does not think that his troops can defeat the Bavarian Army and the Turks head-on and then reach the city of Constantinople!

Well, the current situation is that the problem that Lord Hamilton needs to solve is that if the Dardanelles cannot be breached and the northern front attack from land has little chance of winning, then where is the breaking point of the Allied Powers in the Balkans? ? ! After all, Russia cannot be saved! Capturing Constantinople, forcing Turkey to surrender, and at least opening up the Black Sea defense line are also established campaign goals and cannot be changed!

Therefore, as a veteran who has fought for the British Empire for decades, Hamilton's land warfare talent is at least above the standard if not full! So, when he couldn't find a breaking point on the existing battlefield, he moved his eyes south! Then, he saw the French Army on the sand table, preparing for a landing!

"Although it seems unbelievable,

And it took a long time to plan, but I have to say that maybe the French choice is the most suitable and most likely to succeed! "Hamilton touched his chin and fell into deep thought. His brain was running rapidly like an advanced computer, and he began to calculate the pros and cons.

The biggest problem with attacking Turkey from the west of Asia Minor is that it is difficult to make Turkey surrender in a short period of time. It is like two people fighting each other, usually aiming for the fatal place of the other party. Who has nothing to do and just choose a less deadly place to fight. The French seem to have chosen the stupidest method! The British, on the other hand, pursue the idea of ​​sealing the throat at the sight of blood and killing with one blow. But now it seems that it is difficult to realize my plan... The Turks imported krypton gold equipment produced in Bavaria, and they seemed unable to defeat them...

It looks like it's a vital point, but in fact it's useless if it can't be moved! When Hamilton concluded that neither an assault from the north nor an attack from the center through the Dardanelles Strait to Huanglong could be effectively implemented, he did not hesitate to temporarily throw these fantasies into the wastebasket. Throw it out completely, or take it back and use it again at the right time, it depends on the situation...

Landing on the west coast of Asia Minor and then fighting all the way to Constantinople, this plan is very long in terms of distance alone. Asia Minor covers more than 700,000 square kilometers, which is larger than the largest country in Western Europe. We want to get through it. This route is very troublesome not to mention the distance and supplies.

However, this plan also has advantages, that is, the British and French forces will certainly be affected by the lengthening of the front, and the Bavarian Army will also be affected! The core of the Bavarian Army is in the Kingdom of Bavaria and the Bohemia-Moravia region. It is indeed no problem to let them fight deep into the Balkans. But if the supply line is lengthened again and enters Asia Minor, then for a kingdom as large as Bavaria, Can you still afford it? It is true that the distance between Britain and France will be farther, but Bavaria's size is still far behind that of Britain and France, and if nothing else, at least Bavaria's powerful air force will be difficult to deploy on a large scale in Asia Minor in a short period of time, because Turkey's transportation and infrastructure limits this!

From another perspective, Britain and France are currently fighting on two fronts, and the Bavarian Army is also fighting on two fronts. So far, the main force of the Army is still on the eastern front, advancing towards Ukraine with the Austro-Hungarian Army. Currently in the Balkans Only a small part of the area is fighting, and this small part also needs to rest because it has just fought an offensive. If Britain and France land in Asia Minor at this time, the Bavarian Army should not be able to provide help. As for the time to attack Turkey person? Lord Hamilton firmly believed that as long as the British and French coalition forces gained a foothold, the logistical troubles on the road to Constantinople would definitely be greater than that of the Turkish Army!

And after all, this is the hinterland of Turkey and the core of its rule. Attacking Asia Minor is tantamount to weakening Turkey's strength in disguise. If the Germans want to save their little brother, then continuous blood transfusions and troop deployments will be inevitable. Got it! If nothing else, at least it can reduce the pressure on Russia, right? And fighting in such a vast area, the troops will definitely be dispersed. If the flowers are spread out, the Bavarian Armored Iron Fist may not be so deadly, right? Lord Hamilton said in his heart.
