Chapter 1561: The Allies’ Last Efforts 2

Asquith is not stupid, he doesn't think that the French are going to spend a lot of money this time just because the French say they have mobilized a few divisions... Come on, the European battlefield is a place to look at firepower and equipment. Is 8 infantry divisions and 8 armored divisions a concept? Asquith almost asked the French, how many tanks and artillery do you plan to produce, as for aircraft? This thing should be made by the British. Now the size of the French Air Force can only be kept at 3,000 aircraft due to war consumption and industrial constraints. If you really want to pull it out, the Bavarian Air Force is worthy of the French...

"Four armored divisions have at least 400 tanks and FT10 self-propelled artillery, and this time, in order to deal with the German wolf tanks, we will specially equip a brand new tank!" Briand said. "As for the remaining 4 infantry divisions, we will try our best to improve their firepower and battlefield mobility. These 8 infantry divisions are expected to be equipped with more than 1,800 heavy-duty vehicles!"

"After we gain a firm foothold, we will continue to increase the strength of no less than 6 divisions, but this is already close to our limit. They will not be as strong as the first wave. They are just regular French first-line infantry divisions. Generally speaking, we can concentrate about 14 to 16 divisions in Asia Minor. That is about 200,000 troops, which is the limit of what we can do at present."

"Of course, according to our previous agreement, it is best for the Royal Navy to undertake the heavy artillery units and gunners needed by the Army. In order to ensure the air supremacy over the troops, I need the British Empire to allocate at least 500 aircraft to the Asia Minor Expeditionary Force. There are no bombers, but the quantity and quality must not be bad.” After introducing the lineup of the French army, Briand also put forward his own requirements.

"Yes, this requirement is not too much, but we need time." Asquith said, 500 fighter jets may seem like a lot, but in fact it is far less than before bombers. The cost of an FB27 bomber is about equal to 3 to 5 fighter jets However, from the perspective of industrial production capacity, it is not difficult to produce 500 fighter jets and deploy them in the Asia Minor theater. Of course, the pilot above is worth more than the plane. As for the Marine Artillery? These things are already ready-made things, and there is nothing to be heartbroken about. Therefore, the British Prime Minister agreed very happily, but what the French did not expect was that the British not only agreed to the French request, but also they could do more!

"When necessary, the British Empire can also send at least 6 divisions of troops while ensuring the stability of the Greek front line. Of course, these troops may not be in place at the same time, but our country can guarantee that the second batch of troops in your country will be in place. Before, we could deploy at least 4 Australian divisions or local divisions." Asquith said.

"Really?" Brien was taken aback when he heard that, but then he was ecstatic. You must know that although the Australian army is a colonial army, its overall combat effectiveness is higher than that of the general British army, and it is also a division. An Australian division is a quarter to three times larger than a British division. one part,

For the United Kingdom, a sea power country, it is absolutely costly to invest so many troops in a remote battlefield.

It seems that the British are also preparing to fight to the death. They may not only be afraid of the collapse of the land battle, but also fear that the prince will give up his hands to regain control of the navy and then give the Royal Navy another ruthless attack, right? Briand speculated maliciously about the motive behind the other party.

"We must be quick. The Russian resistance in Ukraine has almost been exhausted. Taking advantage of the fact that there is still the Borusinov Army that can attract the opponent's attention, we must launch an offensive in Asia Minor as soon as possible. Our first batch The landing force will land on the land of Asia Minor in 3 days, and I hope that during this period, the Royal Navy can fight side by side with the French Navy. Especially to ensure the blockade of the Dardanelles!" Briand finally emphasized.

"No problem, this battle will be the last chance to change the entire battle situation. The British Empire will never allow defeat, so it will go all out!" Asquith said firmly.

"Then there is still a question, will the Japanese continue to support us? And the Italians, will they turn against us at this time?" Today's topic is only half completed, and the opinions of Britain and France are relatively unified , after all, this has reached a critical moment of life and death, so both parties have to do their best. But what about Japan? What will this "ally" in the Far East think now? There is also Italy who is sitting on the wall with the 25-year-old. At this time, will Italy remember that it used to be a member of the "Allies"?

"The Japanese have no choice. They are already tied to us. Even if the Germans have no time to deal with them during the war, after the war, they will definitely bear the revenge of the United States and Germany." Asquith said firmly.

"However, I think that the Germans should not and will not make great efforts for the doomed lost territories in the Pacific Ocean, right? After all, no matter how this war ends, Germany is also deeply scarred, and the newly added land on the Eastern Front It also needs to be digested, they shouldn't fight another large-scale battle for the so-called American allies at this time. After all, the Japanese have wiped out the fleet that came all the way from Europe. "Brian said.

"Hehe, just because the Germans are also scarred, they will inevitably retaliate against Japan with the Americans! Don't forget that the Germans have been able to survive until now, and the assistance of the Americans is indispensable. After the war, Germany If you want to recover quickly, then American funds are also essential. In fact, all wars can be attributed to the word interests, and more than 80% of the interests can be equated with money! Therefore, Germany People will try their best to meet the demands of the Americans, at least, the colonies that Japan occupied in Germany and handed over to the United States will definitely be taken back, and if the virtues are more ruthless, the Dutch colonies will not be kept!"

"So, is it possible for the Japanese to sit on the fact that their colonies that have expanded several times and their hegemony in the Western Pacific have been taken away like this? Of course it is impossible! Therefore, Japan should have no other choice!" Asquith said.

"What about Italy? They will have more choices!" As Italy, which is in the midline of the Mediterranean, the French naturally dare not underestimate it. After all, the door to the retreat of hundreds of thousands of British and French expeditionary forces is in the hands of the Italians!
