How many losers? Fleet losses can be directly Baidu Baidu, the author will not list them, let's just say aircraft losses, during the entire Battle of Kuah, the Japanese naval aviation lost 896 land-based aircraft! That's right, you read that right, almost 900 aircraft are gone! 900! At the time of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, there were only 450 planes in total from the six aircraft carriers of the Japanese Navy! How many planes were there in the Battle of Midway? Up and down 250 shelves! Then, the Japanese Navy directly lost 900 ...... on Kuah Island. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoWhat a! And there are also a considerable number of twin-engine bombers among these 900 aircraft! In terms of cost, a twin-engine bomber with 3 eggs on top is absolutely fine!

The prince had been unable to understand at that time that Kuah Island did have some strategic value, which was not denied, but no matter how much the value of Kuah Island was fought, it would not make the Japanese Navy pay such a big price and bring the army into the ditch by the way, right? It is not an exaggeration to say that this war directly inflicted heavy losses on the most elite pilots of the Japanese Navy. You must know that although the aircraft carrier suffered heavy losses on Midway, the pilots saved a lot, and how many pilots of the Japanese plane that flew over Kuah Island and were shot down survived, this can be understood with your knees, and the probability is very low!

Therefore, in the prince's opinion, the Battle of the Dardanelles and the Battle of Verdun were relatively cerebral and rational ......compared with the later Battle of Kuah. However, this bit of reason could not save the British in this battle, because they were in the wrong direction, the so-called opposite is to say Sir Hamilton, if the Germans were aware of it, then there was no possibility of victory in this battle, especially since the British were still facing the open traverser! What if the landing is successful? Inside the straits against the Germans K-6 bombers, on the ground and just frontal with the Bavarian regiment? Come on! Whoever instigates who is the grandson!

Of course, at this point, it is still the plan of Churchill and Lord Hamilton, at most, to expand to some like-minded Royal Navy and Army generals, and if Churchill gets the approval of Congress, then I am afraid it will take a long time. However, at this time, the addition of an external force made the countless obstacles that were originally erected in front of this plan collapse in an instant! At this time, the Russians entered!

In almost 1 year of fighting, the Russians' military production has reached the point where they cannot make ends meet, and the national economy has also fallen into crisis due to huge war losses! Just imagine, in order to be able to obtain supplies from the north, the Russians even did not hesitate to build a railway more than 2,000 kilometers long, so now, when Britain and France expressed their willingness to help the Russians open the Dardanelles, what reason did the Russians who had reached the root of the wall have to refuse?!

And when Churchill said that if he wanted the British and French troops to do it, the Russians must also help, the Russians decisively countered the army! Britain and France should launch an offensive "large enough" near the Dardanelles with other allies to open up shipping lanes to Russia. And said that if Britain and France were unwilling to do so, then the Russians might consider abandoning Russian Poland and then retreat on all fronts!

"Hold the grass! The Russians are crazy, right? It's really your own land, what does it have to do with our Anglo-French army when you throw your own land, you threaten me with this?! "This threat is a bit ridiculous at first glance, but in fact, it really touches the sore spot of the Anglo-French coalition forces, first of all, to make it clear, for countries with vast strategic depth, exchanging depth for time is a tactic in itself, and it is a desirable strategy for the Russians to break away from the Russian Polish region surrounded by Germany and Austria and then level the front, re-establish positions, and lengthen the supply lines of the other side, especially when Russian Poland cannot supply the daily consumption of the army, and at the same time there is no important heavy industry, This plan is something to consider.

But what does this have to do with Britain and France? It must have something to do with it! The Russians will certainly lose some troops if they choose to retreat, but it will take time for the German-Austrian troops to fill the gap in the front, not to mention that the supply line must be established first, and the railway in Poland and the docking with the German railway system must be carried out, right? During this time, it was inconvenient for the German Army to launch a new offensive, the Russians shrank their fronts, the density of their forces increased, and the difficulty of attacking fortifications increased. And Germany is not suitable for an immediate attack because of logistical problems, so well, it is possible for the Bavarian Army to return to the Western Front! This pressure will eventually fall on the heads of Britain and France!

As for whether the Russians will really do this, Britain and France are not sure, of course, if someone opens the perspective of God, then it will be known that the Russians themselves do not want to go like this, in the final analysis, this is not that they can't go militarily, and they can still go at some cost, but because of politics! The Russian government could not afford to take the political risk of ceding Poland in its entirety while the front was still intact, even if the plan was militarily correct!

Opening up this front and allowing Britain and France to invest more troops will not only relieve their own military pressure, but also be of great significance to Serbia, which is about to be in a catastrophe. By the time the Bavarian Army occupied Romania and Bulgaria threw itself into the arms of the Allies, Serbia was already on two sides. How long the Serbian legion could exist was not determined by how well he was, but entirely by when the Germans would ...... move. So, Serbia itself hoped that Britain and France would throw more forces into the Balkans in order to save the front that was about to collapse!

After the Russian intervention, the originally simple battle of the Dardanelles completely changed, from Churchill's initial intention to launch a surprise attack only in the direction of the channel, to the later proposal of Lord Hamilton to increase the number of troops and open two landing fields at the same time, and now, Russia has asked the Entente to open a front and pull Greece into the water at the same time. The scale of the entire campaign has expanded several times in the midst of ruffling and delays!

After Russia's intervention, Britain and France had to consider the requirements as the most important allies, and at the same time, they also had to consider the future safety of the entire Near East and the Suez Canal in the event of the collapse of the Balkans, so that the whole plan would change too much! And the preparation has become extremely cumbersome. So Britain and France fell into a new pit...... Too long a preparation time will make the other party notice, and if the other party also prepares, then it is difficult to say whose side the time will be on! For details, please refer to the historical Kursk! Well, when the tiger-leopard-elephant of the Germans arrived, ....... Once you're ready to leave the rest ...... A. The Germans finally fell in front of the more prepared Russian army.
