No matter how difficult it is, Roque has to overcome all obstacles.

It didn't matter if there weren't enough troops, after the capture of Damascus by the forces of Southern Africa and the Sultanate of Najd, the danger in Egypt was lifted, the troops transferred to Egypt before the world war were released, and Roque had two more divisions under his command.

Reinforcements from the East Indies continued to flow, and after the arrival of 501 and 502 on the island of Lemnos, the East Indies mobilized three more divisions, which arrived in the Mediterranean a month later, ready for subsequent offensives.

Reinforcements from southern Africa are also pouring in, with the latest addition, the Third Artillery Division, having passed through the Strait of Gibraltar and ready to fight in a week's time.

The British 29th Division was finally in place, and they were to land on the east side of the Dardanelles, but Roque also received orders from Kitchener not to allow the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force to establish a long-term position on the east side of the Dardanelles, so the 29th Division was only a diversion.

France still pulled back, Roque originally thought that France would provide a homegrown training reorganized division, but he didn't expect it to be a colonial servant army from the French East Indies, which is no problem, the French East Indies is Annam, and the Annam troops are still relatively combative, at least stronger than the African servant divisions.

The key is that the weapons are not good, they are also colonial servants, the Southern African Expeditionary Force is strong and strong, armed to the teeth, the equipment of the Southern African team is a bit miscellaneous, only a part of the Lebel rifles are equipped, and most of the soldiers are equipped with MLE1859 carbines, Roque has never heard of this kind of gun, and only after Sidney Milner's introduction did he know that this gun participated in the American Civil War-

These are all old antiques that can enter the museum.

In this way, the British treated the colonial servant army well, at least even the Indian legion was equipped with Lee Enfield.

It is a pity that the advanced Lee Enfield is not even as good as a special burning stick in the hands of Indian soldiers, and the burning stick can at least make a fire.

The War Department appointed Roque as commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force, and gave Roque a lot of power, so after Roque was in place for the French troops, the first thing Roque did was to redress the French troops, all of which were replaced by Lee Enfield produced in Nyasaland, and the cost was of course paid by the French government.

The Annan soldiers had not yet received their new weapons, and the bad news came that the Greek government had fallen, and the three divisions that Roque had hoped for were in vain.

The fall of the Greek government arose from a telegram from the Russian Imperial Foreign Minister Seki Sasonov to Athens, in which Seqi Sasonov directly stated: Under no conditions will we allow Greece to join any action of the Entente against Constantinople.

The consequences of this telegram were serious, and it is understandable that the Russian Empire attached great importance to Constantinople, but it was not appropriate to send such a telegram at such a time in any case.

British Foreign Secretary Edward Grey acted urgently and promised the Russian Empire that Constantinople would be assigned to the Russian Empire after the war, but it was too late, and after Athens received a telegram from Seki Sasonov, the government collapsed directly, and the new government was more inclined to the Allies.

The queen of King Constantine I of Greece was the sister of Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany.

The mother of Constantine I was the aunt of Tsar Nicholas II.

So Constantine I was also the cousin of King George V of England.

Luck is not equal, disaster is not a single line, Roque has just lost three divisions, and the Mediterranean fleet has also suffered huge losses.

The Mediterranean Fleet launched an attack on the Dardanelles on March 5, and after the first day of shelling, the commander-in-chief, Sackville Carden, fell ill the next day.

The doctor examined Sackville Carden and confirmed that Sackville Carden was fine, but Sackville Carden insisted that he was not feeling well and could not direct the next move, so from the next day, the Mediterranean Fleet was actually under the command of Deputy Commander John Drobek.

John Drobaker did not want to go on the offensive without the cooperation of ground forces, but the fighting had already begun, so the next day the shelling continued.

On the second day of the offensive, the Mediterranean fleet lost a mine-sweeping trawler.

This did not attract the attention of John Drobek, a trawler, nothing more than cannon fodder for the Navy.

By 12 March, the Mediterranean Fleet had finally completed its minesweeping mission over the Dardanelles, but to no avail, the Ottoman Navy's "Nuslet" minelayers evaded the blockade formed by destroyers, laid 20 mines along the coastline, and then returned to the military port unnoticed.

The crux of the matter is that the Mediterranean Fleet did not know that there were Ottoman minelayers who broke through the blockade of the fleet.

On March 13, before the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force had been assembled, Annan's forces had finally taken Lee Enfield, but before they could get acquainted with it, John Drobeck's fleet had entered the Dardanelles.

The French commander of the Mediterranean Fleet asked the French battleships to serve as the vanguard of the fleet, striving for the honor of being the first to enter the Dardanelles.

John Drobeck agreed to the request of the French commander.

Two hours later, the French battleship "Bouvier" exploded, sank at breakneck speed, and disappeared into the sea two minutes later, killing 600 crew members.

John Drobeck did not know what was going on, when the battleship "Bouville" was engaged in an artillery battle with the Ottoman battery, which had been urgently repaired by the Ottoman Empire, and thought that the Ottoman battery had hit the ammunition depot of the battleship "Bouville".

The remaining three French battleships retreated, six British battleships filled the defensive line, and trawlers were again dispatched to search for the remnants of mines.

John Drobeck did not think that it was an Ottoman minelayer that broke through the naval blockade was a huge dereliction of duty.

The trawler was bombarded intensively by the battery, the captains turned around and ran, and the battleship was back on top, and a few minutes later, the battleship "Indomitable" was also hit by a mine, and the damage was so badly that it had to withdraw from the battle.

A few minutes later, the destroyer "Irresistible" also hit a mine and could not withdraw from the battle, and was sunk by the British Navy on its own initiative.

The battle lasted only a few hours, and the Mediterranean Fleet lost four battleships, two of which were sunk and two were heavily damaged and needed to be returned to the factory for repairs.

There is no value in repair, it is a battleship that is about to be scrapped, and the repair cost is too high.

Fortunately, the battleship "Queen Elizabeth" was fine, otherwise Winston would have died of distress.

While the Mediterranean Fleet suffered heavy losses, the British Expeditionary Force, unwilling to be lonely, launched another attack on Ghent.

The present front has been transferred from Ypres to Ghent, where the Germans used to encircle Ypres on three sides, and now the British Expeditionary Force encircles Ghent on three sides, with the British Expeditionary Force on the north and east flanks of Ghent, and the Southern African Expeditionary Force on the southern flank of Ghent, as well as this section of the line from Ghent to the Ardennes Forest.

It was the French Fifth Army that was responsible for the defense of the Ardennes Forest, and the commander-in-chief before the Battle of the Marne, Langle Zack, did not escape the fate of being dismissed by Chauffy, and did not even enjoy the glory of winning the Battle of Marne, just before the Battle of the Marne, Langle Zack was dismissed by Chauffel, just a few hours after Chauffel was relieved of his post as commander-in-chief of the Sixth Army in Gallieni.

So now in France, the glory of the Battle of the Marne belongs to Xia Fei.

The Southern African Expeditionary Force, which was still in command of Roque, resolutely did not agree to attack Ghent, the snow in Belgium had melted in March, the German army had regained strength in three months, the Prussian 1st Guards Regiment had not been revoked in Operation Victory Horn, and Falkingham had rebuilt the 1st Prussian Guards Regiment with elite troops from the German Eighth Army, which had won a series of battles in East Prussia, and the commander was still the Prussian prince Aitel Friedrich, who had returned from injury.

Now the Germans are holding their breath and want to avenge the defeat in Operation Victory Horn, and the British Expeditionary Force is now attacking, which is equivalent to sending the guns of the German troops, and it is only Haig, the "butcher", who has this courage.

The Second Army led by Haig was in charge of the battle, and before the offensive began, the commander of the First Army, Smith Dolin, was adamantly opposed, but Frenzi was unmoved.

The day before Haig's attack, Smith Doring sent a telegram to Frenczi: If the expeditionary force must attack, then Smith Doring was ready to resign.

On the day of Haig's attack, Smith Dorin boarded a speedboat back home.

Frenzi finally learned Xiafei's routine, and began to dismiss the senior commander at every turn.

However, it was clear that Smith Dolling was right, and Haig's attack had no effect, losing 18,000 soldiers in two days, and the German counteroffensive ensued, and the British Expeditionary Force was defeated, not only did not capture Ghent, but lost the 11th Division's gains in Operation Victory Horn, which had been achieved at great cost in Operation Victory Horn, and retreated all the way to Ypres.

In order to maintain the front, the Southern African Expeditionary Force had to retreat with the British Expeditionary Force, or else it would be surrounded by superior German forces.

Roque was devastated when he received the battle report, and he wanted to be as ready to sign as Smith Dolin.

But Roque couldn't go, there were too many Roque's children in the Southern African Expeditionary Force, and Roque couldn't leave them alone.

Winston did not abandon the Mediterranean Fleet, determined that it was Winston's decision to open up a battlefield in the Dardanelles, what he had promised, and he had to finish the fight with tears, on March 13, after the Mediterranean Fleet lost four battleships, Sackville Carden, who boasted before the war that he could capture Constantinople in three days, "resigned due to illness", John Drobeck's ability and qualifications were not enough to command the most powerful fleet in the world on paper, and Admiral John Brown, who was re-drafted after the outbreak of the world war. Fisher became the new commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean Fleet, bringing with him four Dreadnought-class battleships built only after the arms race began.

The Battle of the Dardanelles is finally on track.
