The Black Sea outlet is of course very important to Russia, but for the new Russian government, how to survive is obviously more important. Not just any country can forge ahead in an environment surrounded by poverty and wolves.
If you look at the map, you will know that the Garibaldi Peninsula is separated from Russia by Bulgaria and Romania, which has been occupied by the Allies. Therefore, the Garibaldi Peninsula is an enclave for the new Russian government. Russia is now in chaos and is loyal to the provisional government.
The troops and the troops loyal to the new government are in a melee. The troops loyal to the tsar have vowed revenge, but the Russians at the bottom are tired of all forms of war. They just want to return to their homes and reunite with their families.
For the Allied Powers, the Provisional Government dominated by the bourgeoisie is in the best interest of the Allied Powers, so the new government is most worried that the Allied Powers will fund the troops loyal to the Provisional Government, and Russia will never have peace.
Considering the Allied Powers' usual way of thinking, they can find something for you no matter what, so this is a certainty.
Ruiz and Wilson were too low-level to know that the new government was in contact with the Allied Powers, let alone that the new government was also in contact with the Allied Powers. Ordinary wealthy families knew not to put their eggs in one basket, and those politicians were even more ignorant.
Know how to speculate.
Of course, all of this is carried out in a secretive state. Until the day when the dust settles, all interests are complicated and entangled.
The major finally led his soldiers away in frustration. The infantry equipped with only light weapons could not conquer the Dingyuan Fort, which was armed to the teeth. The Constantinople garrison was not at war with the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force. Everything was not at its worst yet.
stage.
Ian Hamilton is indeed limited in ability. He obviously lacks the ability to respond to changes in the situation in the Mediterranean. He is a qualified executor, but not an outstanding creator. The problem ultimately lies with Rock and Winston Kitchen.
Let's solve it.
"If war breaks out, can we reoccupy the Garibaldi Peninsula?" Kitchener knew less about the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force than Roque.
"Yes!" Rock said concisely and forcefully. In order to solve the problem of Garibaldi Peninsula, Rock secretly returned to London.
"If possible, war is our final way to solve the problem. Even if we cannot keep the new Russian government in the Allied camp, at least we cannot push the new Russian government into the Allied camp." Winston has less hair and is moving toward
The development of Mediterranean hairstyles and the position of Prime Minister put great pressure on Winston, but Winston obviously enjoyed it.
"Is Nicholas really dead?" George V didn't care about the Garibaldi Peninsula, he only cared about the fate of his cousin's family.
Rock and Winston Kitchener looked at each other, neither of them dared to answer this question.
Now we have received news that Nicholas II's family has been secretly executed, including the underage Crown Prince Alexei Nikolayevich Romanov.
George V's mother and Nicholas II's mother were biological sisters. George V and Nicholas II had a very good personal relationship.
No answer means the worst has happened.
George V closed his eyes in pain, covered his face with his hands, and his shoulders were twitching. Everyone could easily see that he was in great sadness.
"Go on, I'm going to pray for Nikolai's family. God, what have we done? Poor Olga, little Alexei hasn't even grown up yet-" George V was very sad, and
As for not even being able to attend the joint meeting.
Olga is the eldest daughter of Nicholas II and just turned 21 this year.
To be fair, by the standards of a king, George V is a qualified king, and can even be described as outstanding. After the outbreak of the world war, George V's performance has been outstanding. Now that the tragedy of his cousin's family has been confirmed, George V is still
They were very sensible and did not ask the three important ministers to use the power of the state to avenge Nicholas II and his family.
Watching George V leave, Rock and Winston Kitchener breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. The experience of Nicholas II's family was indeed tragic, but no one could be blamed. When Nicholas II drove those
When the "gray animals" who regarded him as their "little daddy" were sent to die, today's outcome was already doomed.
"No matter what, we must take back the Garibaldi Peninsula and firmly control the Black Sea outlet." Winston set the tone. Russia's future was uncertain. As Prime Minister, Winston must ensure the interests of the British Empire.
"Interrupting supplies to the Garibaldi Peninsula forced the Garibaldi Peninsula defenders to take the initiative to move closer to us." Kitchener was ruthless. Originally, the logistics supply of the Garibaldi Peninsula defenders relied on the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force. Now that Russia is in civil strife, it is certain that
Ignoring the garrison of the Garibaldi Peninsula, the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force wasted no time at all, and the garrison of the Garibaldi Peninsula was destroyed without an attack.
"We must be prepared for the worst. If a war breaks out, the Asia Minor Peninsula, which has gradually stabilized, may have problems. The strength of the garrison must be strengthened, and some troops need to be mobilized for reinforcements." Roque is in charge of military operations, which was originally the basic task.
Chinner's work, but after Rock became the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, it was placed within Rock's scope of work.
When Roque served as the commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force, the status of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force was similar to that of the French Expeditionary Force. They were both commanders-in-chief. French and Haig had no command authority over Roque.
Now that Roque is the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, the status of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force is declining. Roque has transferred all the main troops. The garrison in Asia Minor is mainly the servant army of the Sultanate of Najd. The troops in Port Elizabeth have shrunk to two
In the river basin, the main focus was on the direction of the Persian Empire. After the new Russian government withdrew from the war, the nearly one million German troops released on the Eastern Front were all concentrated on the Western Front. The British and French coalition forces were under huge pressure and could not mobilize troops to reinforce the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force.
No, there is still a place where troops can be mobilized.
After Southern Africa occupied Southwest Africa and Tanganyika, Southern Africa's local troops have also been released. Winston and Kitchener both know the situation in Southern Africa. In Southern Africa, there are at least 200,000 troops that can be mobilized.
These include the Northern Rhodesian Division and the 1st Cavalry Division, southern Africa's flagship units.
"This is your job. If you feel that there is not much pressure on the Western Front, then it is okay to dispatch some troops to the Mediterranean." Winston once again passed the blame. Of course, it is okay to dispatch Western Front troops to reinforce the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force, but if it affects
If we fight on the Western Front, Rock will bear full responsibility.
The old God Kitchener was cheerful and silent. After Rock became the Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force, Kitchener's job became much easier and he transferred more energy to the logistics supply of the expeditionary force. Asquith became the Prime Minister.
Most of the power that Kitchener lost in the later period has now returned to Kitchener's hands. To be honest, Kitchener is very satisfied with the current situation. The British Empire has an absolutely superior Royal Navy, powerful logistics suppliers, and wise people.
's king.
The most important thing is to have a commander-in-chief who can strategize and generals who are good at fighting.
Rock didn't say anything. He held his chin with one hand and tapped the table with the other hand, looking at Winston.
It is certainly possible to mobilize the Northern Rhodesian Division and the 1st Cavalry Division to join the war, but what are the benefits to southern Africa?
"Don't talk, don't say anything, I won't agree to any of your requests anymore!" Winston was decisive. After the outbreak of the world war, Winston no longer knew how many things he had promised to export, from the initial order to Southwest Africa and Tanger.
Nyika, and then to Mesopotamia and Cyprus in the Ottoman Empire. Sometimes Winston was surprised when looking at the map, as if unknowingly, southern Africa had expanded beyond control.
"Haha, you are overthinking, Winston, I am thinking about how to take back the Garibaldi Peninsula at the minimum cost -" Rock still has some acumen and knows enough is enough.
The World War was the last carnival of imperialism carving up the world. Although the United Kingdom paid a huge amount, France's contribution was equally huge. Other countries participating in the war, such as the Kingdom of Italy, the Kingdom of Bulgaria, and Japan, also had their own interests. Even the new Russian government had withdrawn from the war.
, is still willing to stay in the Allied camp and wait for the division of interests after the war. Southern Africa has already obtained Southwest Africa and Tanganyika, as well as Mesopotamia and Cyprus, and it should be content.
Of course, Winston and Kitchener do not believe a single punctuation mark of what Rock said. When the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force handed over Constantinople to the Russian Empire, it almost emptied the entire Constantinople. The Ottoman Empire
All the huge wealth accumulated over thousands of years disappeared, and the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force did not even spare the exquisite buildings in Constantinople.
"Ludendorff is transferring troops from the Eastern Front to the Western Front. The pressure on the Western Front will be huge, so we must be careful." Regardless of the division of interests, Kitchener will gradually withdraw from active service after the World War. It belongs to him.
The era has passed.
The only good news during this time is that Germany is now in chaos as well.
After the outbreak of the World War, Germany was also full of internal conflicts and factions. Wilhelm II was not a qualified monarch. He was arrogant and arbitrary. But when conflicts broke out, did he have enough ability to solve the problem?
German Prime Minister Bertmann Hollweg became a victim of the power struggle. Hindenburg and Ludendorff seemed to be born with the attribute of "overcoming superiority". They forced away the German Chief of Staff Falkenhayn on the Eastern Front. Now,
The target was again targeted at Prime Minister Bethmann Hollweg.
This is also the reason why William II has never dared to give full trust to Hindenburg and Ludendorff. William II is also Nicholas II's cousin, and the experiences of his cousin's family gave William II enough vigilance.
