Churchill was a military layman, Sir Hamilton was better than Churchill, and he was also a well-tested general of the British Empire, who fought for the interests of the British Empire for decades. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWell, most of them are fighting law and order wars...... So he saw that Churchill's landing in the Dardanelles alone could not have succeeded. So he was going to make things bigger, thinking about launching an offensive from land with Greece, and at the same time preparing to harden the Bavarian legions!

That looks right! Lord Hamilton had already taken into account the variables of the battlefield, and put forward his own opinion - to concentrate more forces and join the Greeks in the offensive from land, while the navy and another part of the landing force launched an attack in the Dardanelles at the same time, and took out the opponent from both directions with lightning speed! What a plan!

However, neither Churchill nor Lord Hamilton overlooked one thing, and that was that they had unwittingly expanded a limited campaign! When a campaign is halfway through, when a campaign is fought to a certain extent and has extraordinary political influence, purely military considerations may be deflected in other directions! And the Battle of the Dardanelles in history was just that!

You must know that at the beginning, the entire Anglo-French landing force was only about 75,000 people! And then what. You can say that Britain and France are for the sake of victory, or you can say that for the sake of face, for political reasons, the Entente legions are constantly increasing layer by layer! In the end, 500,000 Allied troops were thrown into this battle that was not destined to win! The price has been paid far beyond what was originally envisaged!

However, political needs or so-called face do not solve military problems, and in places like the Dardanelles, where troops cannot be deployed at all, the marginal effect of investing more troops will only continue to decline! So, if you can't beat it, you just can't beat it....... Is there an egg for the cheek? Isn't it the end of the day? And the fiasco on the battlefield once again affected politics!

Look at the Allied fleet, which has absolute maritime superiority, and the six-figure landing force, fighting a Turkey, which is known as the "sick man of West Asia", can not fight for a long time! Played for a full ten months! What do you make the wall-riding faction in the Balkans think? How can you let those wall-to-wall grasses trust your British and French strength? Thus, a series of chain reactions occurred, and Bulgaria was the first to take sides! Historically, Greece has also regained a certain distance from the Entente. However, Serbia hung up ....... (Serbia says why are you fighting in the Dardanelles, but I am the one who bears the blame?!) ）

In fact, it is not uncommon for this kind of layer-by-layer thing to happen in history, not to mention that there are various loopholes in the planning of the Battle of the Dardanelles, and the navy and army have been ripped off, even if the planned battle is also possible to "play big", such as the Battle of Verdun, in fact, Falkingham just wanted to fight a limited war of attrition at the beginning, attract the French, and then use the German Army's proud artillery to clean it up. Then, the Germans sadly found that the critical moment was "unable to control their own hands", constantly increasing the chips, then consuming, then increasing the chips, and then consuming, until the Germans could not move, and Falkingham also stepped down.

Although the Battle of the Dardanelles and the Battle of Verdun had various problems, there were also typical cases of not being able to hold back and knowing when to start fighting, but not knowing how to end it. But it is also excusable, at least the strategic value is big enough, the battle of the Dardanelles is successful, and Turkey is on its knees! If the fortress of Verdun succeeded, it would really become a grinding plate that crushed the entire French front, and at the beginning, as the attacking side, it did have a lot of advantages, not to mention the absolute naval superiority of Britain and France. The German legions in the Verdun fortress were also very vigorous at the beginning, and the battle losses were called an advantage, in fact, in the end, the later period when the French had an absolute advantage in strength and firepower were also counted, and the Germans still earned, but their family resources were limited.

The most incomprehensible and depressing thing is that some battles, he quickly developed into an uncontrollable situation for the sake of pure fighting spirit, and for a place where the strategic value is not too high, a certain side played with his life, and then finally found out that the loss was ....... Is there such a thing? Absolutely! The Battle of Kuah!

Let's recall the process of the Battle of Kuah, and you will find out how funny this battle is! The Japanese found that Kuah Island was a very good place, suitable for the establishment of a sub-mine, no, it was the establishment of an aviation base, so they sent thousands of people to prepare. And then this is where the Japanese made a joke for the first time, you went to open a mine, and you didn't leave enough defensive forces, not even a warning! And there is no ...... with the Army. This is not mining, this is stealing! And it was stolen under the noses of the Americans! I'm afraid people won't see it!

Everyone knows what happened next, the Americans naturally discovered the Japanese ore division, but the Japanese did not find out that the Americans came to dismantle the mine. Counting the engineers and aviation personnel, a total of less than 4,000 Japanese troops were directly pressed to the ground by tens of thousands of American troops! More than half of the sub-bases built have become American's! This thing is already a mess!

At this moment, the Japanese completely went berserk, when did the dignified locust army suffer this loss? So in the case that it was difficult to provide effective support at the Rabaul air base, after pulling in the army, the combined fleet decisively had a big wave with the Americans, this is the famous naval battle of Santa Cruz in history, you don't have to say, the result of the battle is not bad, 2 Japanese aircraft carriers were injured, the Americans directly hung 1, wounded 1, tactically speaking, the Japanese still have the advantage. It was the last big victory of the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet, (well, a total of several victories)

But the tactical victory could not cover the strategic defeat, in the 2 battles in which aviation dominated the sea. After the Japanese and American maritime mobile aviation forces withdrew at the same time, the Americans still had the air base of Kuah Island as a support point, and the existence time of the fighter planes flying over Rabaul over Kuah Island could only be calculated in minutes....... And then the Japanese Navy actually continued to be tough with the Americans at the doorstep of the Americans! I also pitted the army by the way! After throwing away 2 battleships, a whole bunch of cruisers and destroyers in a row, and by the way, hundreds of various aircraft, the Japanese finally knew that they could not fight. And by this time, Japan had already lost too much!
