In the aftermath of the outbreak of the World War, there was another country that took the war as its own revenge war, just like Russia. That was the Ottoman Turkish Empire. In the last Middle East war, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was beaten by the Kingdom of Afghanistan, the Kingdom of Egypt and the Kingdom of Najd. This made the Ottoman Turkish Empire very depressed, and he was even more angry in his heart, wanting to be ashamed. Thus, among the members of the Holy Alliance, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was also the most active.

After the end of the Middle East War, the Ottoman Turkish Empire suffered heavy losses. Not only did they lose the entire Middle East, but even the colonies in North Africa were in jeopardy. If it weren't for the Ottoman Turks' powerful navy, their colonies in North Africa might have been taken away by other countries. For example, the Kingdom of Egypt, which had just broken away from the Ottoman Turkish Empire, wanted to accept the Ottoman Turkish Empire's colonies in Africa and grow into a great power across Asia and Africa. It's just that the Ottoman Turkish Empire's navy was so strong that Egypt did not dare to act rashly.

The Asia Minor Peninsula was originally the core of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. But in the last Middle East war, they lost half of Asia Minor. This not only greatly damaged the strength of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, but also greatly threatened the national security of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. If the forces of the Peace Alliance had advanced all the way west from Asia Minor, they would have been able to directly threaten Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire.

Of course, although the whole Middle East and half of Asia Minor were lost. But the Ottoman Empire was still strong. This is especially true after swallowing the entire Balkan Peninsula and the Ukrainian plain. The Middle East is compared to the Balkans and the plains of Ukraine. It's simply insignificant. The Ottoman Turks believed that they still had enough strength to regain their lost territory.

In the last war. The rebellion in the Balkans and the plains of Ukraine greatly restrained the military power of the Ottoman Empire. Even at the height of the war. The Ottoman Empire also had to keep more than half a million troops in the Balkans and the Ukrainian plain to deter those who rebelled against the Ottoman Turkish rule. Otherwise, the Ottoman Empire's rule in these places would have been overthrown. This also made it impossible for the Ottoman Empire to concentrate its efforts in the last war. However, this time it will not happen again. In the aftermath of the Middle East War, the Ottoman Turks raised their butcher's knives in the Balkans and the plains of Ukraine, and a large number of heads fell to the ground, causing heavy losses to the resistance groups in these two places. At the same time, their resistance to the Ottoman Empire was weakening.

This time, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was able to concentrate all its efforts on dealing with these Middle Eastern countries. Before the outbreak of war. The Ottoman Turks began to mobilize their troops. They left only 200,000 people in the Balkans and the plains of Ukraine. The rest of the more than a million regular troops were all gathered in Asia Minor. And this was just the first army mobilized by the Ottoman Turkish Empire. The second mobilization also began, and by the time the mobilization was completed, the Ottoman Empire would have an army of three million. If the third mobilization can also be completed, then the army of the Ottoman Empire will be expanded to five million, which will give the Ottoman Empire an overwhelming advantage.

Ottoman Turkish Sultan Abdul. Mejid I, as well as the high-ranking officials, had absolute confidence in this war. They believed that the Ottoman Empire would be able to defeat the enemy in this war. Regain the honor that belonged to the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Although the enemy was strong, however, the Ottoman Turkish Empire would be even stronger.

After the outbreak of war. The Ottoman Turks' million-strong army marched west on the peninsula of Asia Minor, intending to crush the forces of the Peace Alliance deployed on the border and invade the Middle East in one fell swoop. If it's a good idea. Perhaps they will also be able to break into the Persian Gulf and capture the world's largest oil-producing region in one fell swoop. After all. The assignment of the Persian Gulf to the Chinese Empire has always been Abdul. A pain in the hearts of Mejid I and the rest of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. If they hadn't made that decision. Then they will be able to make a huge fortune just by selling oil every year! Now, we can only watch this wealth flow into the pockets of the Chinese.

Of course, the Ottoman Turkish Empire had great ambitions to reclaim the Middle East. And how could the Chinese Empire and the other members of the Peace Alliance let them get their wish? In this Middle East war, the kingdoms of Afghanistan, Egypt, and Najd will be the main forces against the Ottoman Turkish Empire. The main focus of the Chinese Empire was to focus on the European theater. Of course, in other respects, the Chinese Empire will still give them support. For example, in terms of weapons and equipment and other war materials, without the support of the Chinese Empire, the three countries would not be able to confront the Ottoman Turkish Empire at all.

With the support of the Chinese Empire, the Kingdom of Afghanistan mobilized a full 1.5 million troops, and this is only the first batch. If the war doesn't go well, they will mobilize three million troops. The Kingdom of Egypt has also mobilized an army of one million, which has drawn almost all the elite in Egypt into the army. The current kingdom of Egypt, including the sultans they conquered, is only about 10 million people. Mobilizing a million troops has reached their limit. The same is true of the Kingdom of Najd, which has a smaller national strength and a smaller population, and this time it also gritted its teeth and mobilized half a million troops. For these three countries, this war must not be lost. Otherwise, not only will all the benefits gained in the last war be lost, but even the country may be destroyed.

Of course, if they can win, they will definitely be able to get more benefits from the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Therefore, the three countries have also done their best.

The importance of the Middle East to the empire is unquestionable. Whether it is oil in the Persian Gulf or the Suez Canal, it must be under the control of the empire. Otherwise, it would have a serious impact on the security of the Empire. Although the Empire will not intervene in the Middle East in this war. However, if the three Middle Eastern countries could not resist the attack of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, then the empire would still intervene. After all, the Persian Gulf is too important.

It's just that the Imperial General Staff believes that the strength of the Ottoman Turkish Empire is no longer what it used to be. After the three Middle Eastern countries are fully mobilized, they will be able to send 4.5 million troops. Wouldn't the 4.5 million troops, equipped with the advanced weapons of the Imperial Army, be able to withstand the attack of the Ottoman Turkish Empire? The Ottoman Turkish Empire's army was known for its low combat effectiveness. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been defeated last time.

In addition, the empire would not directly send troops to fight against the Ottoman Turkish Empire. However, a decisive battle between the Spanish navy and the Ottoman Turkish navy would undoubtedly pose a serious threat to the Ottoman Turkish Empire. If the Ottoman Turkish navy was defeated, they would have to send troops to defend the western coastline of the Balkan Peninsula and Asia Minor to prevent the Chinese* army from landing directly in the core area of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. In the last world war, the power of the landing operations of the Chinese Empire was already vividly displayed. This left the Ottoman Empire on guard.

On the Balkans and the plains of Ukraine, although most of the resistance has been wiped out. But they were not extinct, they were just forced by the strength of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, so they were hidden. If the Ottoman Turkish army suffered a crushing defeat, they would inevitably take advantage of the situation and start a new war against the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

After the outbreak of the war, both sides committed nearly two million troops to fight in Asia Minor. The army of the Ottoman Turkish Empire was united and wanted revenge. But the armies of the three Middle East countries are not muddy, and they also want to defend their own interests. The two sides fought fiercely, and their losses were very staggering. However, no one flinched. As everyone knows, the war has only just begun. If we retreat at this time, it will be impossible to win the war.

Compared with the armies of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the armies of the three Middle Eastern countries are indeed a little inferior in combat effectiveness. As the Ottoman Turkish Empire continued to increase its troops, the pressure on the three Middle Eastern countries also increased. On the front of the peninsula of Asia Minor, there are faint signs of instability.

At this time, a decisive battle broke out between the Ottoman Turkish Imperial Navy and the Spanish Navy. The vast Ottoman Turkish Empire was shattered in the space of a day. Those powerful battleships were either sunk or captured. As a result, the navy of the Ottoman Empire suffered heavy losses, almost to the point of becoming untenable.

The defeat of the navy was a great shock to the entire Ottoman Turkish Empire. Similarly, without the protection of the navy, the Balkans, as well as Asia Minor, would be threatened by the enemy. As a result, the Ottoman Empire had to send troops back to these places. This, in turn, relieves the pressure on the three Middle East countries so that they can continue to persevere.
