Led by the Datang Marine Corps, with the cooperation of the British, French and Italian armies, the multinational forces formed a temporary landing force. The Multinational Force www.biquge.info landed on the coast near the historic city of Troy, where farmland and small towns were not particularly important. The Turks also had no experience in preparing for landing operations, so when the Datang Marines drove amphibious combat vehicles to the beach, they did not encounter any obstacles.

The scale of the landing operation was not large, because the multinational force lacked landing vehicles, and Datang actually only sent two medium-sized landing ships of more than 3,000 tons, and the scale of the troops carried was actually the battalion level. The ground forces of the other three countries were a little more pressing, they had to lay down their boats where the battleships could not continue to penetrate, and since their boats did not have engines, they could only row to the shore with oars, and by the time they arrived at the shore panting, the allies of the Tang Marines had already taken control of the beachhead and had built temporary defensive positions in a very orderly manner.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the landing, the Datang Navy also sent seaplanes to reconnoiter the surrounding situation so as not to threaten the approach of Turkish troops.

After the landing, about 2,000 soldiers set foot on Turkish soil, and as deployed, these ground forces moved northeast, first breaking through the small local town of Kumkale, and then continuing north. Under the cover of surface fire from the multinational fleet, the ground forces overcame Kepez, the first pass in the Dardanelles. The Turkish army attempted to resist, but the combined artillery fire from the sea and land prevented the Turkish army from being able to organize effectively and was eventually broken by the multinational forces.

After Kepez was captured, Canakkale became in danger. The multinational forces unloaded a number of relatively heavy artillery pieces directly in the port of Kepez, including the 155-mm heavy guns that the Don Army had already generally equipped with brigade-sized units. On the outskirts of Kepez, the Don Army laid artillery positions and began to shell Canakkale without interruption. The continuous shelling turned Canakkale into ruins, and even the fortress on the shore became scarred.

The Tang army did not play the main role in the siege of Canakkale, but was attacked by the British, French and Italian armies. The Three Kingdoms entangled nearly 10,000 soldiers and launched a strong attack on Canakkale under the cover of the powerful fire of the Tang artillery. The Turks were still holding back, but after three hours of fighting, the Turks had to retreat from the fortress, and the multinational forces succeeded in capturing the fortress holding the Dardanelles. The Dardanelles Strait is extraordinarily long, and there are a number of secondary fortresses after Canakkale, but there is no greater threat, and the combined fleet of the Multinational Fleet has been able to pass through the strait and enter the Sea of Marmara with the cooperation of land and sea.

At this time, Tsarist Russia also happily dispatched the Black Sea Fleet in an attempt to form a linkage with the multinational fleet. The strength of the Black Sea Fleet is not strong, although Datang sold some technology to enable Tsarist Russia to build several steam ironclad warships in the Black Sea Fleet, but the level is relatively low. But there was no problem against Turkey, the Black Sea Fleet went south and defeated the Turkish fleet, but near the Bosphorus, the Black Sea Fleet also stopped, and further on it was attacked by the Turkish shore artillery, and the multinational fleet had a way to pass through the Dardanelles, while Tsarist Russia did not have similar capabilities.

Turkey has suffered such a huge crisis in just two months. The British and French troops sent troops to Egypt and Syria, the Italian army occupied Libya, and the Don army sent troops from Morocco, aiming at Algiers and ******. Not to mention that the Tang Dynasty attacked Trabzon on the Black Sea coast from the Persian Gulf all the way down the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. At this time, Turkey is really a soldier, and the wind is loud.

The British were also making trouble in Greece and did not communicate with the Tang Dynasty. The British privately armed some Greek rebels, and took advantage of the Tang Dynasty's breakthrough of the Dardanelles to revolt in Greece against Turkish rule in an attempt to gain independence. The British even sent several ships specifically to Athens to support the Greek uprising. When the Tang Dynasty knew about this, the British intervention forces and the Greek rebels had already occupied Athens. The British even brought in members of the Bavarian royal family who had fled abroad, because the distant ancestor of the Bavarian royal family, John II, Duke of Bavaria-Munich, was a descendant of the Komnenos dynasty and the Lascaris dynasty of the Byzantine Empire, so it seemed logical that the Bavarian royal family would serve as the Greek royal family.

Before the Tang Dynasty had time to express its position, the Kingdom of Greece was established.

At this time, any one wanted to dig a knife down Turkey, and the British made a very bad start. The Russians also invaded aggressively and fostered pro-Russian forces in preparation for the formation of Greater Romania. Even the Austrians, who had not shown much interest in the crusade against Turkey, were preparing to invade the Balkans and capture Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Albania's independence seems to have jumped out of the ground. The charm and spirit suddenly appeared, which made Datang feel that this matter was becoming more and more strange.

Even many people in Datang are so happy to see the Europeans dismember Turkey, and simply taking away Iraq and North Africa can no longer satisfy the desires of some people.

Although it has become a norm for Datang to stake all over the world, Bai Nan still feels too big about directly taking over the European part of Turkey and the capital Istanbul. There is also an alternative to this project, that is, to completely separate the European part of Turkey, including Serbia, Albania, Greece, Bulgaria and other places, and Istanbul to become an independent new Byzantine republic or something. It seems that brain-opening has become a common feature of Datang's strategic circles at this stage, and some people have also proposed that a unified European country be formed directly in the Asian part of Turkey, which seems to be a good check on both Russia and Turkey in the future. It will also have certain benefits for Datang's future infiltration and disguised control over the local area.

In any case, Bai Nan believes that the countries are trying to make the ethnic groups in Turkey for independence at this time, which has disrupted the original plan, so it is necessary to carry out a unified voice, because at this time Turkey can no longer hold on, and asks the Tang Dynasty for peace and hopes for a truce.
