Chapter 1416： War from Balkan II (1/2)
Chapter 1416 Fighting from the Balkans (2)
No way, if you open your posture and fight a fair non-trench battle, no one is an opponent of the French except the Germans! And if this war is started directly in the hinterland of Turkey, no matter what the outcome is, Turkey will not feel good, but fortunately now Turkey has begun to move its few industrial facilities from the coast to the inland.
Of course, the biggest good news is that at present, only the French choose to land from Asia Minor, while Britain and Japan still choose to make a breakthrough in the Balkans and the Dardanelles. From this perspective, the haloed British, or the British who are eager for success, did help the prince a lot! If it is the Balkan direction, the Allies take a defensive position. Then, if the British, French and Japanese armies concentrate on landing in Asia Minor, although Constantinople will not be lost for a while, the prince’s Bavarian legion will need to run hundreds of kilometers. In Turkey, which has extremely poor infrastructure and industry, and a large number of allied nations When the troops fight positional warfare, the consumption and cost are too great....
And because of the southward movement of the battlefield, the Bavarian Air Force's support intensity will also drop a lot before going south. However, the air force does not need to fly to the south. The ground and auxiliary personnel, as well as the transportation of various facilities and supplies, which are ten or even dozens of times as large as the pilots, are a big problem. So, from the current point of view, for Turkey, the best way to deal with the French army is really to move quickly, and you can take as much as you can, and then build the walls and clear the fields, lengthen the French army’s supply line, and place it closer to the inland. Fight against the French, delay the main thing, wait until the Bavarian Army is in place, and then make other arrangements.
”It may take at least two weeks for the French to launch. Including the landing and deployment time, we still have plenty of time. The most important thing now is to block the first wave of offensives by the British and Japanese in the Balkans. I would like to remind everyone in particular that this time, we are facing an enemy with the same industrial level, and are no longer the Russians on the Eastern Front who can’t even produce armored vehicles on a large scale. Therefore, we have to deal with it. Prepare. This time, the technical advantage is not overwhelming.” The prince emphasized specially.
”His Royal Highness, do you have any plans for the Turkish troops?” Lieutenant General Schmidt asked. ”After all, for this battle, the Turks also gathered nearly 300,000 troops.”
”Lieutenant General Caliput, you are in charge of this one, for you.” The prince said.
”Our officer regiment stationed in Turkey has actually taken over part of the command. Turkey is still cooperating. In addition, our grassroots support detachment composed of technical sergeants and veterans has also been dispatched to some of the Turkish troops, although these people cannot be the backbone. , But it’s okay to provide some tactical guidance and operate technical equipment.”
”From my personal point of view, some generals in Turkey are also outstanding. For example, Major General Kemal, this is our old friend. You should have met him when you visited Constantinople. ”Calipte said.
”Kemal? This person knows that he is a very good person.” The prince was taken aback. He didn't expect the gold to shine everywhere. Three years earlier than in history, this buddy still attracted the attention of the Bavarian military. Power, this buddy is definitely considered a top general in Turkey, and his political power is also MAX. It is an object worthy of cultivation. The prince is not worried about Turkey being too strong. The reason is very simple. As long as they win, Germany and Austria, which have more than doubled their territories, can compare with the United States, will they worry about Turkey’s backlash?
”So, what do you want to say?” The prince believed that someone said this sentence must have a purpose.
