Rock couldn't sleep these nights. The beginning of July was good, but in August, everything began to tilt in a bad direction. The outstanding performance of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force increasingly reflected the incompetence of the coalition forces in other battlefields.
After the failure of the spring offensive, the Western Front battlefield fell into an eerie silence. The British, French and German forces were accumulating strength and preparing to launch another larger-scale campaign in the autumn.
The Russian Empire on the Eastern Front was still retreating steadily. The Russian army launched a short counterattack against the German army in July, but made no progress. Instead, it lost nearly 200,000 troops again. Russia has lost millions of people since the beginning of the war. The Tsar is resorting to militarism.
, is still recruiting soldiers, and I don’t know where the limit of the Russians’ patience is.
In mid-July, senior Allied powers held a meeting at the German General Headquarters. All parties had demands that were difficult to reconcile. Falkenhayn, the German Chief of Staff, reminded everyone that the British Expeditionary Force was rapidly increasing its troops and that the pressure on the Western Front was increasing.
Kondra, Chief of Staff of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, suggested launching an attack on the Kingdom of Italy in order to relieve the Austro-Hungarian Empire's pressure on the Isonzo River, but no one took his proposal seriously.
Hindenburg and Ludendorff suggested launching an attack on the Russian Empire in the summer to weaken the Russian Empire's advantage in the winter as much as possible. However, due to Falkenhayn's opposition, the Kaiser was hesitant.
Before the outbreak of the World War, Kaiser Wilhelm II was ambitious to conquer the world. However, a series of setbacks after the outbreak of the World War dealt a heavy blow to Wilhelm II. He began to become hesitant and did not provide enough support to the Chief of General Staff.
, other front armies were also dissatisfied with William II.
Now Wilhelm II continues to make mistakes. Faced with the controversy of the imperial ministers, Wilhelm II did nothing. As a result, the precious month of July was wasted.
Kondela did not get enough support in Germany, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire made progress in the Kingdom of Serbia. Just as the Kingdom of Serbia feared, Bulgaria still participated in the war, but it joined the Allies. At the end of July, two of the Kingdom of Bulgaria
The Army Group cooperated with the Austro-Hungarian Army to launch an attack on the Kingdom of Serbia. The Kingdom of Serbia performed very well in previous wars, but now, the Kingdom of Serbia has finally exhausted its war potential and its troops have begun to collapse.
When the Allied leaders held a meeting, the Entente leaders also held a meeting in Paris. British Prime Minister Asquith and Secretary of War Kitchener, as well as former Prime Minister Arthur Balfour, who succeeded Winston as Minister of the Navy, all attended the meeting.
When Joffre introduced his carefully prepared autumn offensive, Kitchener criticized the plan in an almost mocking manner. Arthur Balfour also disagreed. They all placed their hopes on the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force, hoping that Roque could lead it.
The Mediterranean Expeditionary Force breaks the current deadlock.
On July 17, the top leaders of the coalition held a meeting in Calais. This time the meeting was attended by British and French generals. Joffre once again introduced his autumn offensive. This time it was Haig who raised objections. Haig discovered that in
In Jiafei's plan, the front line for the British army to be responsible for was too long, Haig did not have enough troops, and the number of artillery was also very small. However, this could not make Jiafei change his decision. Even though many people opposed Jiafei's autumn offensive, Jiafei
Fei is still stubborn.
In early August, after defeating the Second Army of the Ottoman Empire, the forward troops of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force finally approached Constantinople by the Bosporus from land.
Since the Russian Empire launched its attack on Constantinople in early July, the war has been going on for more than a month, and Constantinople is still under the control of the Ottomans.
Both parties involved in the war suffered heavy casualties. In order to prevent the Russian Empire from landing on the Bosporus, Zanders deployed a large number of troops in Constantinople. The Russian Empire paid a heavy price and finally succeeded in landing, but every step forward was difficult.
Unlike the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force, which has control of the sea and air, the Russian Empire has no control of the sea or air. It relies solely on the courage of the "gray animals" to launch attacks.
Rock has commanded the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force to capture the Garibaldi Peninsula and almost all the lands of the Ottoman Empire in the Balkans. The Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Empire, Grand Duke Nicholas, did not expect that the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force would progress so quickly under Rock's command. The Russian Empire would also
The Mediterranean Expeditionary Force won a decisive victory in the battle without escaping from Galicia.
Grand Duke Nicholas paid the price for his arrogance. He was dismissed by Tsar Nicholas II. Nicholas II made a shocking decision and appointed himself as the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Empire and the Army, personally commanding the frontline troops in combat. This was
Unique among all the participating countries.
In addition to dismissing Grand Duke Nicholas from his post, Nicholas II also dismissed Vladimir Sukhomlinov, Minister of War, and by the way, Nikolay Nushko, Chief of Staff of the Russian Army.
The capable and experienced Mikhail Alexeev was appointed as Chief of General Staff, and the new Minister of War was Alexei Polivanov.
In addition to appointing himself as commander-in-chief, Nicholas II's other appointments were pretty good. Vladimir Sukhomlinov was mainly responsible for the defeats of the Russian Imperial Forces after the outbreak of the World War.
He was arrogant and arbitrary, stupid and incompetent. In order to please women, he actually ignored the actual situation of the frontline troops. When Suhomlinov was the Minister of War, the artillery commander asked Suhomlinov for artillery shells.
Nov actually said: "Shut up! Go to hell!"
The funds used to buy artillery shells were misappropriated by Sukhomlinov to purchase luxury goods from southern Africa.
After the appointment of a new Minister of War and Chief of General Staff, the performance of the Russian Imperial troops on the front line did not immediately improve. The newly formed 11th Army suffered heavy losses in Constantinople, with more than 150,000 casualties within a month.
, since the outbreak of the world war, the Russian Empire has lost 235,000 people every month.
The nervous Slavs were not intimidated by the huge losses. At the beginning of the Battle of Dardanelles, in order to cause trouble for the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force, the Russian Empire stopped its attack on Constantinople. Now the Russian Empire is willing to do whatever it takes.
At the cost of capturing Constantinople, the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force would not give the Russian Empire the slightest help.
Although the forward troops had arrived in Constantinople, Roque ordered the troops to stop the attack and watched as the defenders of Constantinople and the attacking 11th Army of the Russian Empire perished together.
As long as you are in the first grade of junior high school, there is also my fifteenth grade. Roque will not rush to be a licking dog. Look at the overall situation?
Go to Ru Niang’s overall perspective!
This is how Rock replied to the Slav.
The fighting nation is indeed very nervous. When the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force was suppressed by the Fifth Army and fought bloody battles on the beach, the Russian Empire watched the fun with a smile and had no intention of helping at all.
Now the Russians are suppressed on the beachhead by the remnants of the Ottoman Empire's Second Army, and they want the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force to help?
Go ahead and dream!
"Lord, our troops have suffered heavy casualties. As long as the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force can put even a little pressure on the Constantinople defenders at this time, we can achieve a breakthrough-" Andrei Alexeev is a Russian
The younger brother of the new Chief of General Staff Mikhail Alexeev, Chief of General Staff of the Russian 11th Army, personally came to Marmara Island, hoping that Roque could help the 11th Army.
After the Mediterranean Fleet took control of the Sea of Marmara, Roque moved his headquarters from Cyprus to Marmara Island. It was only a temporary headquarters and no major construction was done. Roque's offices were all built in tents.
"Sorry Andre, it's not that the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force won't help. Our capabilities are really limited. We need troops stationed in the Balkans and the Dardanelles Strait needs to be defended. Our troops have landed at Erdike and are launching an attack on Bandirma.
, if your 11th Army cannot capture Constantinople, I will be happy to help." Roque will not scold her in person, but his attitude is very firm, you can do it.
Erdike is a port city in the southern part of the Sea of Marmara. Controlling the Dardanelles Strait and the Sea of Marmara will not satisfy Rock. The Mediterranean Expeditionary Force is launching an attack on the Asia Minor Peninsula. Rock wants to be the leader of the Asia Minor Peninsula.
conqueror.
"Lord, we are still allies. Russia will not forget the help of its friends, nor will it forget the hatred of its enemies." Andrei Alexeyev's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Russians do have a clear distinction between love and hate, but
What does this have to do with Rock?
Geographically speaking, Southern Africa and the Russian Empire are at the southernmost tip of the southern hemisphere and the other is at the northernmost tip of the northern hemisphere. Rock doesn't care if watching from the other side offends the Russians.
To take a step back, Rock is now a British man. Although there is no sworn hatred between him and the Russian Empire, the so-called "allies" are just that. They are all for profit. No one can say anything about themselves.
It's too noble. If the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force doesn't help now, it's an enemy. So what if the Russians just laughed at it a while ago?
"Haha——" Rock and Ian Hamilton laughed and said nothing. There is no need to speak harshly. If you have such ability, go and take down Constantinople.
While Andrei Alexeev was working hard to get reinforcements, the 11th Army had only one breath left to hold on.
On August 10th, the 11th Army launched another attack on Constantinople, with 100,000 troops advancing in succession. The battle lasted all day and did not stop at night.
On this day, the 11th Army lost nearly 60,000 people. When it finally stopped attacking, the 11th Army did not even take away the wounded soldiers. They left the wounded soldiers on the position and wailed. The soldiers struggled and died in despair, begging for peace.
The screams continued all night long.
After dawn, the 11th Army gave up the offensive and evacuated overnight. In just one month, the Russian Empire lost nearly 300,000 people under the walls of Constantinople.
On August 15, the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force officially launched an attack on Constantinople.
