Emperor Hua calmly watched all this in the seaside town of Rasht on the shore of the Caspian Sea.The two divisions of the British army only have 20,000 people, and the strength of the Chinese army in this area is also two divisions, but there are 40,000 people, and the most important thing is that 20,000 of them are cavalry divisions.20,000 cavalry is very scary in this era, especially on the frontal battlefield against the platoon of guns, which is absolutely dominant.Now both sides are in the midst of intense troop movements.The two divisions from China have taken the place of the Eighth Field Division and the Ninth Field Division of the Chinese Army deployed in Central Asia Province, so that the total strength of the Chinese Army will reach four divisions and 80,000 people.After the British army gathered 20,000 men, it assisted the entire Atlantic Fleet, followed by 5 French field divisions.France finally decided to send troops, especially in the face of the economic crisis, because Jouferi persuaded the Council of Ministers that they could not abandon France's colonization plan in Indochina, and after defeating China, they would gain more colonies, which was previously agreed with British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli.The total strength of the Anglo-French army reached 70,000, and the total strength of the Anglo-French-Turkish army reached 570,000, plus the 500,000 army cobbled together by Abdulhamid II of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.Originally, they had the advantage of the navy and could grasp the absolute initiative in the war, but the funny thing is that the British and French forces were indeed frightened by the Chinese army.They did not dare to land from Africa to attack the Suez Canal and the Cairo region.In fact, there was only one division of the Chinese army there, and if the Suez Canal was to be laid from below, it would be replenished with troops.On the one hand, on the other hand, the British and French forces have mobilized the maximum economic capacity that can be achieved at present, and the expeditionary force of 7 divisions will have to consume at least 700,000 Chinese dollars initially, which is only initial, if you count the monthly war consumption, it will cost at least 1.4 million Chinese dollars.To fight a war is to fight for money, and the emperor dared to single out Britain and France, and it was precisely because he saw the great powers in the deep economic crisis, without this strength, if he was facing Germany now, Germany might be able to send more troops than Britain and France combined."
Your Majesty, do you want to let those coerced servants take the lead," Wang Dashan asked.Hua Huang glared at Wang Dashan, "They are all peasants, can they fight, what do you think, how can you say such a thing" Wang Dashan was so frightened that he quickly shut up, and nodded hesitantly.He was influenced by the standard configuration model of Britain and France, and Britain and France have always taken the lead in coercing the army.The Chinese emperor did not regard the millions of Islamic brothers as arm, but all of them as construction corps, and the millions of people transferred from Afghanistan and India, and made more than 20 construction corps as the supply backing of the Chinese army.This point has moved the whole world, including the Western powers, who have always used the coercion army as cannon fodder to fight with the coerced army, while the Chinese army has always rolled up its own sleeves and never wanted local militias to be cannon fodder.In this way, the actual Chinese army participated in the war with only 80,000 troops, and had to face an opponent of 570,000, a difference of 1 to 7 troops, which was already more than the scale of the Anglo-Boer War, the Spanish-American War and the Russo-Japanese War before World War I, and even the scale of the previous Russo-Turkish War and the Franco-Prussian War, only World War I and World War II.This is a confrontation between the re-emerging old powers of the East and the two great powers of Europe at the pinnacle.At this time, Huaguo's industrial capacity barely entered the top eight in the world, but he dared to single-handedly challenge the world's first and second industrial countries, and everyone thought that Huahuang was crazy.In this war, the Chinese army was the side of complete justice, and the banner it held was to protect the weak and small countries from colonial humiliation.Hua Huang could not sit still, and went from Rasht to Adana."
Your Majesty, you don't have to go in person, just leave it to Wang Dashan."
Princess Katrina Kaaf said to the Chinese Emperor.Wang Dashan has rushed from Ashgabat to Adana to command the overall situation, and his outstanding performance in the battlefields of Afghanistan and India has made Wang Dashan now purple in the Chinese army, which makes Xuan Jianzhang, Lu Xuan, Luo Guozhong and others all jealous eyes red."
Adana is located in the northeastern corner of the Mediterranean, across the banks of the Seyhan River, about 40 kilometers from the mouth of the river, and is accessible to small boats, but with Mersin as the port on the western edge of the Saihan Delta, 51 kilometers away.If my estimate is correct, the British and French will send fleets to bomb and land in this area, which will cut off the route of advance and retreat of the Chinese army. ”Emperor Hua said to Princess Katrina Kaf, "This time, I will personally direct the battle. ”Princess Katrina Kafu didn't make a sound, she wasn't worried about whether His Majesty had the ability to personally command the battle, there must be, the Chinese army was personally commanded by His Majesty in the first few years, and a group of major generals and lieutenant generals were brought out by the Emperor Hua himself, however, Princess Katrina Kafu did not agree with His Majesty doing this, one is dangerous, and the other is that if he loses, it will affect His Majesty's reputation.For this war, Princess Katrina Kafu assessed in her heart that the chances of victory in China were less than 20%, because in the war in Turkey, whether it was troops or supplies, the advantage was obviously on the side of the British, French and Turkish forces.Emperor Hua didn't need to explain anything to anyone, he could see that Princess Katrina Kafu didn't want him to direct the command, and he felt uncomfortable, but he didn't explain it to Princess Katrina Kaf.The general headquarters and general logistics of the Anglo-French-Turkish forces were located in Istanbul, and the transit point of the Chinese army was located in Adana, separated by Eskişehir and Ankara.The eyes of the whole world are focused on this area, and the Chinese army and the British, French and Turkish forces have already faced each other.It should be said that the British, French, and Turkish artillery of the Anglo-French-Turkish army faced the soldiers and horses of the Chinese army, and because the Chinese army fought long-range and did not have the support of the navy, there was no artillery at all in this campaign, and only the field troops carried mortars as in the Afghan battlefield.The Anglo-French-Turkish forces had thousands of artillery pieces of all kinds.In terms of firepower, it is also the absolute superiority of the British, French and Turkish forces, although the President of the Chinese Army 1878 rifle is the most advanced in the battlefield, but there is no disadvantage of artillery, and the advantages of the rifle are completely neutralized.The whole world is unanimously optimistic about the British, French and Turkish alliances, so no country has expressed solidarity with China, not even Spain, which has opened up relations with the Chinese emperor.The commander-in-chief of the Anglo-French-Turkish forces was the British General Chris Lamont and the French General Trevor Clivenot.Chris Lamont is positive, Trevor Clivenott is vice.After the Chinese emperor arrived in Adana, he immediately convened a supreme combat meeting, saying that it was 80,000 and that the British, French and Turkish forces were 570,000, but in fact there was more than such a big difference in strength, because the Chinese army had to leave at least one brigade to garrison Cairo and Port Said in the Suez Canal, so as to prevent Britain and France from taking advantage of their naval superiority and copying the rear route of the Chinese army.It is equivalent to saying that the actual strength of the four divisions of the Chinese army is not 12 brigades, but only 11 brigades, less than 80,000 people, and only about 74,000 people, so the difference in strength between the two sides is 1 to 8, not 1 to 7, which is a huge gap in strength."
Your Majesty, we have studied before, the attack is more beneficial to us, the enemy's forces are large in number, but they are temporarily formed, and the mobility is not strong, if we wait until their artillery is in formation, we will definitely not be able to resist."
Wang Dashan introduced to Huahuang.Hua Huang nodded, "As I thought, you continue." ”"Now we are discussing whether to attack Ankara first or Eskişehir, these two important towns are not easy to do, but our ultimate goal is Istanbul, so we can't bypass Eskişehir and Ankara, otherwise, there will be a danger of being surrounded."
Wang Dashan continued to introduce to Huahuang.Hua Huang looked at the map, this is indeed a big problem, "Eskişehir is located on the banks of the Posuk River.Ankara is located 250 km east of Eskişehir, Istanbul is 350 km northwest of Eskişehir, and Kütahya is 90 km southwest of Eskişehir.Ankara is the second largest city in Turkey and the center of Turkey's politics, economy, culture, transportation and trade, located in the northwestern part of the Anatolian plateau on the peninsula of Asia Minor.Ankara is the second largest industrial center in the country after Istanbul, with east-west railway links to major cities and ports, as well as multiple highways.The airport maintains domestic and international air links.It has been a transportation fortress since ancient times and is known as the "heart of Turkey".In my opinion, let's not rush to decide, three cavalry brigades will move towards the junction of Ankara and Eskişehir, six brigades will move to the perimeter of Ankara and Eskişehir, and two brigades will be left in Adana as reserves, so as not to let the enemy know our intentions, and wait for accurate information to make a decision. ”Wang Dashan agreed with His Majesty's view that the Chinese army paid great attention to the collection of intelligence during the battle, and this was indeed the most prudent, neither letting the enemy army move first, nor doing it himself, and this is what the Chinese army is best at in sports warfare, otherwise, the 74,000-strong army would have no chance at all to deal with the local 570,000 troops.The Chinese army was studying the movements of the Anglo-French-Turkish coalition forces, and the Anglo-French-Turkish coalition forces were also studying the Chinese army.After the discussion between the commander-in-chief of the British army, Chris Lamont, and the commander-in-chief of the French army, Trevor Clivenot, it was decided to divide the army into two parts, advance in parallel, and evenly arrange them in Ankara and Eskişehir, because the Anglo-French-Turkish army has an absolute superiority in strength, and supply is not a problem, and they are not afraid of fighting a protracted war.If it weren't for the logistics of millions of Islamic brothers, the Chinese army would not have the strength to run to the junction of the Eurasian continent to challenge the two most powerful industrial countries in the world.The correct strategy of the British commander-in-chief, Chris Lamont, and the French commander-in-chief, Trevor Clivenot, made the Chinese army's chances of victory even less than tenth.The Anglo-French-Turkish army was divided into two equally, and half of the artillery and Turkish troops were left to defend Istanbul, which also made it impossible for the Chinese army to try to cut off the retreat of the Anglo-French-Turkish army, and it was indeed very well arranged.The Anglo-French-Turkish forces were led to Eskişehir by the British commander-in-chief, Chris Lamont, and to Ankara, respectively, by the French commander-in-chief, Trevor Clivenot.Each with one artillery battalion, each with 200 guns.Agents from the National Bureau of Statistics sent the information back to Adana."
Your Majesty, it's hard now."
Wang Dashan said to the emperor with a sad face.Hua Huang smiled: "This is difficult to do, if I were the commander-in-chief of the British, French and Turkish forces, I would also adopt such a set of steady and steady strategies, but the more this is the case, the more flaws there are."
Now it's easier. ”Wang Dashan and Ekkajielina Klimova looked at His Majesty in amazement, this time, Emperor Hua did not let Jiegege and Lee Tae-hee follow, the two of them stayed in Ashgabat and stayed with Ekaterina Klimova.Wang Dashan and Ekaterina Klimova didn't see it at all, where is it easy to do now Seeing that they were waiting for him to continue, the emperor said with a smile: "The way to fight the British army, the Eskişehir part is led by the commander of the British army, Chris Lamont, since they are divided in this way, they must be that this road is dominated by the British army, the number of the British army is only 20,000, and the number of the French army is 50,000, all of which are supplemented by the Turkish army, so the road dominated by the British army must be weaker than the road dominated by the French army.
In addition, we have just won a big victory over the British army in Afghanistan and India, and the morale of the British army is low, so, fight this way first, let the cavalry take their artillery battalions, do not let them go to Eskişehir, and between Eskişehir and Istanbul, concentrate their forces to eat them" Wang Dashan and Ekaterina Klimova were both shocked by His Majesty's bold plan, Wang Dashan asked:" Bypassing Eskişehir, the defenders of Eskişehir have not cut off our retreat, and when the time comes, the French commander-in-chief, Trevor Clevnot, will come and flank us again, and we will be surrounded by more than 400,000 enemy troops. ”"Our army of 70,000 against the enemy's 570,000 people, is it possible that there is no need to fight with them now, and we can retreat directly, but at this time, even if we withdraw all from Cairo, all withdraw from the Suez Canal, and all withdraw to Central Asia Province, they will follow up, and by the way, take back a large area that has been attached to us, and then flank Central Asia Province with the Tsarist Russian army, do you want that?"
asked Emperor Hua.Wang Dashan didn't know what to say, anyway, he would never have thought of this set of tactics formulated by the Chinese Emperor, this is pure gambling, Wang Dashan is sure that any military commander in the world will not formulate such tactics, not only bypassing the local military town, but also taking the initiative to attack the local army with more than 200,000 troops, and what is even more terrifying is that there is an army advancing in parallel next to it, there are more than 200,000, and the two armies are not separated by more than 100 miles.Can this battle be fought like this t1706231537:
