The development of World War I has presented an extremely chaotic situation.
Since the February Revolution broke out in Russia, frontline officers and soldiers have generally had low morale and lack of logistical supplies, making life very difficult.
The Turkish army saw the opportunity and launched Operation "Caucasus Storm" in March.
After nearly a month of fierce fighting, the Turkish army annihilated 250,000 Russian troops in Armenia and Georgia, and completely occupied Armenia and Azerbaijan. and most of Georgia.
After the Russian army was defeated, they could only retreat to the Caucasus Mountains and rely on the local terrain advantages to block the Turkish army.
However, although the Turkish army achieved victory in the "South Caucasus Battle", it also suffered heavy losses.
In this battle, their number of casualties reached 170,000, as many as 360,000 were injured, and 30 divisions were crippled.
They were also seriously injured and unable to organize another attack for a while.
The biggest problem of the Turkish army is that they lack capable officer corps leaders, and there is serious corruption within the army.
Most of the officers are useless, military science is very backward, and there are serious factional conflicts.
Although it has received a large number of modern weapons provided by China and received support from Germany and Austria and other countries after joining the Allies, its combat effectiveness has not improved much.
If they fight a defensive war, they can barely give it a try, but once they start an offensive war and a public security war, they will be blind.
This battle exposed these shortcomings of the Turkish army.
Most of the losses occurred while chasing the Russian army, which was very speechless.
If the Russian army had not suffered from the same problem and had been demoralized by the domestic revolution, they would not have been able to defeat the Russian army in this battle.
However, the performance of the Turkish army was not without its highlights.
Their performance in Palestine was very good.
Because the Turkish army here is the core team of the Austrian Socialist Party, under the leadership of Kemal, they have exerted extremely strong combat effectiveness.
From October last year to April this year, five battles broke out between the Turkish army and the British and Indian troops in Palestine, and each time they ended in the defeat of the British and Indian troops.
By the last battle in April, the British and Indian troops had killed a total of 270,000 people, as many as 400,000 people were injured, and another 160,000 people were captured, mostly Indians.
However, the Turkish army only suffered more than 30,000 casualties and more than 80,000 wounded.
In this dimension, the situation of the Allied Powers in the Middle East is much worse than in the original time and space.
Because the establishment of the Arab Republic gave many Arabs who could have incited them to fight against Turkey their own country, the previous plans had to be adjusted.
The Arab Socialist Republic in this plane has a large territory, equivalent to all of Saudi Arabia in the original time and space except the Hassan area.
South of Kifri in Iraq is approximately south of 35 degrees north latitude, most of the area east of the Jordan River, and Syria Most areas east of the line from Damascus to Lake Assad and south of the Euphrates River.
At that time, the Turkish government was unable to maintain its rule in the above-mentioned areas.
In addition, it was declared a war by Russia, and the Arab Republic was also quite capable of fighting.
In order to avoid being attacked from both sides, they had no choice but to pinch their noses and acquiesce to the reality.
For the purpose of containing Turkey and considering China's reaction, the Allied Powers recognized this new country.
But in this way, there are gains and losses.
Although the establishment of the Arab Socialist Republic was equivalent to poaching a piece of meat from Turkey, after that the Arabs had their own country, and the Allies lost most of it.
Arab masses who can be used as cannon fodder.
After the Arab Republic gained independence, it reached a tacit agreement with Türkiye and did not interfere with the river.
They did not get involved in the war between the Allied Powers and the Central Powers.
After Britain and France failed to win over and deceive them several times, they had no choice.
Later, they also realized that this Arab Republic is China's little brother.
If China does not take action, they will never move.
So many previous plans had to be changed, such as the famous legendary figure in the history of the original time and space, the former British North African intelligence agent "Lawrence of Arabia".
At this time, most of the stage was lost, and they had to run to Palestine and Lebanon in despair.
The momentum created was far from comparable to the original time and space.
But even this has caused a lot of trouble for Türkiye's local rule.
After Turkey officially joined the Allied Powers, it began to fight with Russia in the Caucasus.
However, it failed to do anything and was severely beaten by Turkey.
In order to open up the situation, Britain and France prepared to launch an attack on Turkey from Egypt.
At this time, the Western Front was also very tense, and it was impossible to mobilize troops from Europe.

So from August to October last year, the British recruited 15 divisions from India to Egypt to prepare for a big fight.
At this time, the Al-Shabaab party that ruled Turkey also became anxious after learning that the British army was about to attack.
Because most of the main forces under their control were fighting with Maozi on the Caucasus front line, they could not mobilize enough troops at the moment.
So they had no choice but to activate the Austrian Socialist Party, which had been sitting on the bench before, and let their troops go to Palestine to resist the British and Indian troops.
Facts have proved that this decision was a very wise one.
The Austrian Socialist Party armed forces headed by Kemal not only successfully withstood the massive attack by the British and Indian troops, but also defended Palestine.
Here they defeated the British and Indian troops and achieved an extremely brilliant victory.
The situation in Africa was also very chaotic.
After Italy joined the war, the Italian army in Libya, North Africa, caught France off guard.
After they won the naval battle in Corsica, they launched a massive attack on French North Africa with the support of the navy and air force.
At that time, most of the military power in French North Africa was deployed to assist the mainland, so it was once suppressed by Italy.
The French, who were short of major generals, lost consecutive battles, and the entire "Tunisia" and eastern Algeria were occupied by Italy.
However, the Allied Powers soon regained the advantage.
The Anglo-Egyptian coalition attacked Italian Eritrea from Sudan.
The Italian army there could not resist it and was completely defeated after half a month.
However, the Allies soon stopped laughing.
The Germans, who had opened up ocean exports, sent a huge fleet to assist German East Africa in August last year.
This fleet was escorted by a large number of warships led by four battleships and four battlecruisers.
At that time, the fleets of Britain and France in Africa were weak, and they could only watch the Erdezi swaggering past under their eyes.
This fleet carried a regular infantry division, two artillery regiments and an air wing, as well as a large amount of weapons and supplies.
After the German East African Corps received so much assistance, Lieutenant General Letto Vorbeck, the commander of the Corps, known as the "African War God", immediately began to show off his talents.
He first occupied the weakly defended Zanzibar with the cooperation of the escort fleet.
Then, in cooperation with the Italian army in Italian Somalia, they defeated the defenders of British East Africa in one fell swoop last November and occupied the entire British East Africa of Kenya and Uganda.
Subsequently, Vorbeck used the large amount of armed forces at his disposal to massively expand the colonial troops composed of local people and form 6 divisions.
Moreover, the Germans also played a trick in Africa.
They regarded themselves as liberators and made a promise to the black corns.
Once the war was over, they would support the independent establishment of these colonies.
There is no doubt that Er Dezi's move immediately received strong support from the locals.
Not only were many local people in the places they occupied willing to serve, but even the black stubble in nearby British Rhodesia, Belgian Congo, and Portuguese East Africa started making trouble.
Even the South African independence movement, which had just been suppressed, is starting to stir again.
It has to be said that William II's imaginative move did have a miraculous effect, making the situation of the Allied Powers in East Africa, South Africa and parts of Central Africa suddenly passive.
Although Black Otter's combat power is only five, it can't stand up to the large number of others.
Public security warfare has always been the most troublesome, especially when there is support and coordination from foreign enemies, the degree of trouble will increase exponentially.
Originally, the Allied forces in the colonies were not many, and they had been severely beaten by Vorbeck several times in the past, and their strength was not enough to suppress the entire colony.
Moreover, in addition to providing weapons and training to those black worms, the Germans also provided them with a lot of stimulants.
As a result, the Allied forces were in misery.
The drug-addled milfoils were very powerful.
With the support of the Germans, they formed many so-called "independent free armies" and attacked Allied settlements and colonists everywhere.
The Allies were so overwhelmed by these drugged black squid that they had to retreat to some important strongholds and had to give up most of their territory, allowing the black squid to go crazy.
However, the Allies quickly regained ground in North Africa.
After the Battle of Gibraltar, the Allied navies were forced to retreat to lick their wounds, and soon after, a large number of second-hand warships purchased by Britain and France from China and the United States arrived.
In order to open up the situation in the Mediterranean, they transferred 20 of the pre-dreadnoughts and eight armored cruisers to the Mediterranean.
Together with the original naval forces of Britain and France, the Allied fleet in the Mediterranean now has two Guba-class dreadnoughts, There were forty pre-dreadnoughts and sixteen armored cruisers, and the situation suddenly changed a lot.
Although the Allies still have 12 dreadnoughts, 11 pre-dreadnoughts and 6 armored cruisers in the Mediterranean, they still have an absolute advantage in the number of dreadnoughts.
But the Allies are not powerless to fight back now.

Although the dreadnoughts are not enough, the pre-dreadnoughts are enough.
It must be admitted that although this batch of second-hand ships from China and the United States were sold for sky-high prices, they were of great help to the Allied Powers.
Not only did they stabilize the situation in the Mediterranean, they also had time for the Japanese combined fleet to reinforce France's Atlantic region.
After the Allies' combined fleet suffered a heavy loss in the Battle of Gibraltar, it fell apart and has not yet been reorganized.
So the Allies took advantage of this opportunity and began to regain control of the Mediterranean.
The first unlucky thing was North Africa controlled by Italy.
As many as 18 divisions of reinforcements were transported to Algeria, and three Japanese divisions landed in "Tunisia".
At the same time, Egypt also took the opportunity to launch an attack from the east.
Under attack from three sides, the Italians could no longer resist, and the army attacking Algeria retreated all the way.
By now, the Italians have not only vomited out the newly occupied eastern Algeria and "Tunisia", but also lost most of their own Libya.
At present, the Italian army has been beaten by the Allied Powers and is afraid to take the lead.
It is huddled in two strongholds in Benghazi and Tripoli and is struggling to support itself.
So a very magical scene happened in Africa.
In North Africa, the Allies were beaten violently.
But in the south of Sudan, the Allies were showing off their power, and the Entente was reduced to pieces.
However, the main battlefield of World War I was still in Europe, and the focus was on the Western Front, which was the basis of the warring parties.
Whether it is the war situation in West Asia or Africa, it seems secondary to Europe.
At this stage, the most important place is the British Isles, which is the key point for both the Entente and the Central Powers.
The United States, which had just entered the war, was also very aware of this, so they launched an attack on the Faroe Islands on May 30:
