On January 9, 1915, the Allied troops landed in the Suez Canal, and only the powerful, British who controlled the Suez Canal, were able to have such a big deal to close the Suez Canal for a whole day, even in the war, the Allies passed through the Suez Canal in the era of extinction, the Suez Canal was also quite busy, one day, enough to make the canal queue up.

The Suez Canal, only a canal connecting the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean, but not a port, most of the ships entering the Suez Canal, must pass at the approved speed, in the era of no computers, to maintain the ship group and constant speed, is what they must do, but the British in the landing conditions do not have the premise, forced landing in the Suez Canal. At least 12 landing points in the Suez Canal, landing at the same time, corresponding adjustments and preparations were made before, and the 500,000 troops completed the landing in half a day.

In order to protect the Suez Canal, Britain stationed almost 30,000 troops near here, respectively on the north and south sides of the canal, and in the north of the canal, a total of 17 military camps, 12 of which were requisitioned for a simple rest of the Allied troops, they will go through more than half a month of rest and recuperation, adapt to the environment in the Middle East, and then march towards the goal.

The 500,000 Allied troops who came to the Middle East this time had a total of 35 divisions, 11 American troops, 5 French troops, and 19 British troops, half of which were 19 of them, of which one-third were the troops torn down by the powerful Bordeaux. It has been strengthened a lot, especially the 3 divisions of the US army. It was built according to the standards of all Germany, and the firepower was strong. Half of them were withdrawn from the Bordeaux front.

Britain's foundation next to the Suez Canal is the foundation of the United States' choice, and it has spent a lot of effort before, hoarding 10 arsenals next to the Suez Canal, which is enough to support more than half a year of high-intensity fighting for 500,000 troops.

It was these that made the decision of the Americans to take the risk, 3 divisions of troops. All of them are elite, some of them were withdrawn from Bordeaux, and some of them were specially trained in the country to master the operation of a large number of artillery pieces, and if this tactic can be implemented, the United States will focus on developing such a force, even if it is costly.

From the point of view of the Entente, the Allies would not have known about their plan of action. At least before starting to do it, the reason why it did not land in Egypt and chose to land in the absolutely safe place of the Suez Canal is also due to secrecy. The Fast Fleet and the Suez Canal will buy them 5-7 days, and after the 500,000 troops have completed their acclimatization training, they will follow the Suez Canal to their original UAE position. Gradually to the north, directly to Baghdad. 3B railroad completely severed.

Seven or eight days, even if the Entente found out about their movements. After an urgent response, it is a little too late to mobilize troops even through the 3B railway, and as for the further one, it is even more impossible.

In fact, the Entente's measures are quite sharp, they also consider the problem very deeply, almost every step has been taken into account, China discovered the problem a little earlier, this is not that the Entente did not expect, but China's deployment in the Middle East is relatively strong, 3 days earlier than they expected to discover the traces and purpose of the Allied army.

In the case of China's actual involvement, if the Allied armies left the operation as soon as they set foot in the Middle East, they were still entangled in what the Allied armies were doing at that time, and they could not react at all, and China was the same. The Middle East, on the Arabian Peninsula, is not very large, if you march quickly, it may take half a month to break through the entire peninsula and rush from the Suez Canal to Baghdad, that is, hundreds of kilometers, Turkey's armed forces in the Middle East, including Iraq's native armed forces, it is impossible to stop the Allied forces like wolves.

In that case, there may be no preparation, it will be cut off the 3B railway, even if it is emergency transportation, it is impossible for Germany to obtain enough resources, unless China opens a large-scale air transport, otherwise, there is no way to guarantee the supply of Germany, a Germany that has entered a state of war, or the most tragic trench warfare Germany, the daily consumption is almost astronomical, that is, after the transformation, containerization and tower crane of Basra, it can withstand such a large resource, once it is cut off, chain reaction, It would plunge Germany into chaos and have a direct impact on the situation in Europe.

For the sake of prudence, the Entente countries chose adaptive training, not to mention that adaptive training is only 15 days, and it is impossible to give others the opportunity to transfer troops, but there are exceptions, China has a long-distance projection capability, as long as the air force is used, it is much faster than the army and navy.

At that time, for the Nanyang Navy, the strategic air force took off urgently from the northwest, thousands of miles away, to Southeast Asia, and now the strategic position of the Middle East is more important, and the Nanyang is the place where the first batch of large four-engine transport planes can be reequipped with the fastest speed to transport troops to Basra.

At this moment, the Allied troops who are doing restorative training in the barracks of the Suez Canal do not know that a classic special operation will fall on their heads, and this method of frontal warfare, which is different from the previous frontal combat, that is, what Russia has tasted, will now fall on the Entente.

After learning of the actions of the Entente, China was not indifferent, it was not difficult to mobilize troops from Lanfang, and even before the Entente launched an attack, it was possible to reach the Arabian Peninsula, but the General Staff suppressed this proposal, so rashly going up, it may not suffer huge losses, and the purpose of expanding influence cannot be achieved, they are for victory, not for the sake of achieving too much loss, let alone fighting without any benefits, the Allies have basically agreed, After the war, Lan Fang will be asked to demarcate a certain sphere of influence in the area he occupies, which, in the eyes of the Allies, will only harm the interests of Turkey.

It is only harmful to interests, of course, not for long, China made a decision to forgive Turkey's $300 million debt, which directly pushed Turkey to agree, and in the future, it may be from Basra to Baghdad as a line, and then demarcate a certain sphere of influence to the coastline.

China also knows that in the current state, this is the best result, it is impossible to occupy the entire Arabian Peninsula, even if this is a desert, but located at the junction of Asia, Africa and Latin America, there is the Suez Canal on one side, even if the canal is not controlled by Britain now, it is impossible to let the Chinese approach, at most, it is now, draw a line from Basra, occupy part of Iraq, all of Kuwait, part of Saudi Arabia, there may be nearly 500,000 square kilometers, almost occupying one-sixth of the entire Arabian Peninsula.

However, most of these sixths are on one side of the Persian Gulf, and on the other side, the Suez Canal, which is the most elite area on the entire Arabian Peninsula, whether it is Germany or Turkey, the Chinese are not allowed to intervene, once the Allies win, it will be the most fruitful spoils.

Occupy the seven seas, generally with warships and fleets as the main force, but the famous strait is also the key, there are four famous straits in the world, the Strait of Gibraltar connecting the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean, the Suez Canal, the Panama Canal and the Strait of Malacca, which are almost all connected to the two oceans, or the Mediterranean Sea such a huge sea area, are all based on states, three of which are in the hands of the British, which is enough to prove the strength of the British Empire in the past few hundred years.

Now that the Strait of Malacca is occupied by China, Britain will only have the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal left, and if the Allies win, Germany will not let go of the Strait of Gibraltar.

Saying that these are relatively far, from a city with a radius of only 30 kilometers, to now, millions of square kilometers of land, Yang Yuanzhao is still relatively content, although there is no way to take the entire territory of Saudi Arabia, but it occupies the essence of Iraq and Kuwait, as well as parts of the Persian Gulf, in terms of oil reserves, there is definitely a lot, and the meat can only be eaten, it is himself.

Lan Fang's troops began to prepare for the shift, based on 50,000 people, little by little to the Arabian Peninsula, and eventually 300,000 people will be sent, as for whether the Entente cut off the 3B railway, it doesn't matter, anyway, in the previous half a month, quite a lot of materials have been transferred, at least enough for Germany to use 2 months, now, every extra day, you can hold on for 4 more days, this loss, bear it.

The army can slow down, and it doesn't even matter whether Baghdad can hold it or not, it's better to occupy it, and it's okay if it can't be occupied, if it can use Baghdad to annihilate the 500,000 troops sent here by the Entente, that's the best.

But slowly sending troops up, does not mean that there has been no action, let the Allied troops rest, go straight to Baghdad, they can borrow the 3B railway to transport supplies will be a lot less, the northern line railway construction plan is underway, it will take at least 3 months, which means that at least the Entente troops will be delayed to Baghdad for about 10 to 15 days.

For such a long time, it is almost impossible for the current Iraqi armed forces, so Lan Fang must take action, and less than 50,000 troops cannot do such a thing at all, so there is only one option left, that is, to delay their offensive with special forces.

At present, within the scope of China's control, the closest to the Middle East, and the most suitable for the climate conditions in the Middle East, is Lan Fang's special forces, and Lan Fang also has the ability to transport them to Basra in a short time. (To be continued.) )
