1890 King of Southeast Asia
Chapter 714: First Battle and William's Ambition
General Ian Hamilton did what he thought, and 500,000 British and French forces trained in Egypt for more than two months.
It is said that it was not very accurate for more than two months. Until the end of 1915, after two months of conversation between Hamilton and Winston, British talents distributed sufficient weapons to these troops.
Many people share a rifle in previous training.
On January 6, 1916, Tsar Russia appeared the first soldier to rob the train station due to hunger.
The Tsar defined this incident as a rebellion, and the participants were defined as a rebels, and the troops were suppressed as soon as possible.
The soldiers who suppressed the railway station were the Tsarke of the Sattaya.
Grand Duke Nikolaev looked at the ammunition materials accumulated in the train station, and the guard soldiers who sympathized with the rebels. They did not attack, but chose to appease.
Nicholaev pardoned their crimes in the name of Tsar. The cost is that they must go to the front line and participate in the offense. The people who survive will not have any trouble.
What a good solution, which not only avoids the risk of igniting the arsenal, but also shows the kindness of the Tsar. He also gave a group of death teams to the front line ... well, the gray animal is not worth it.
However, Tsar was not satisfied with Nicholaev's solution. On January 9th, Tsar Nicholas II ordered to kill everyone to participate in the rebellion.
He was cool, but the soldiers' hearts had a thorn, which was one of the reasons why the army did not support and involved in the revolution.
The Tsar's soldiers plundered the railway station and did not scare the Tsar, but scared British and French.
Gray animals are a creature with strong endurance. Under their status, there is no right to speak, and they will be upset when they hear the command.
But the Tsar has hungry such a creature to resist and seized a train station.
It is conceivable how serious the Tsar Russia is in Russia.
On January 10, 1916, the second day when the Tsar ordered the death rebels, Asquers' telegram sent the telegram to Hamilton.
Hamilton wanted to drag, but the French did not give him a chance.
The French said that if Britain would no longer launch an attack on the Ottoman Turkish Empire, France would attack the Ottoman Turkey alone.
The French army in Egypt submitted documents for Hamilton for the first time to migrate to the colony next door.
The French Navy also separated from the joint operations of the two countries and began to prepare for leaving the port.
Hamilton didn't dare to bet on whether France was pretending to be in a psychological, nor did he have a chance to bet. He knew that if he dragged it again, there would be a new general to take over him.
A general who is willing to immediately launch an attack.
As a result, Hamilton compromised, at least he was familiar with the army. He believed that the army would have a higher chance of winning in his hands.
As a result, on January 10, 1916, Hamilton issued a "preparation for combat" instructions, 500,000 British -French coalition forces, more than 60 warships and more than 200 transport ships began pre -war preparations.
However, this is destined to be a failed war.
On January 18, 1916, the British -French Fleet reached the entrance of the Dadanier Strait and began preparations before the operation -shells and turrets and attracting the Ottoman Empire Navy.
The Dadanier Strait is a narrow waterway as a whole, and due to the direct connection of Istanbul, the Ottoman Empire set up a large number of shore defense guns on both sides of the Dadanier Strait.
There are a large number of industrial fortress groups set up with the shore anti -artillery.
The fortress group protects the shore anti -artillery. The shore anti -artillery can not only defend the Dadanier Strait, but also provide fire support for the fortress group, rely on each other.
As we all know, the best way to break through the coastal turret is to attack from the land. Unless there is an absolute overwhelming advantage from the sea road, it is likely to fail, and even if successful, it will bear a lot of losses.
However, the British did not take Ottoman Türkiye in the beginning, or let go.
There are more than 60 warships in Britain and France, eight of them, two old -fashioned battleships, two new -generation new battleships, and a first -generation battle cruiser.
There are two Osman Empire Navy for the castrated version of the big Han -class battleships from the South China era. However, due to the twelve gun tunnels, the combat effectiveness still cannot be underestimated.
At the beginning of the battle, the Ottoman Empire Navy shrank into the strait and a large number of mines were arranged in the strait.
This was the most correct choice. Except for the two battleships to support the scene, the Ottoman Empire had no other warships that could be used.
The destroyer was against the harassment of the Russians in the Black Sea.
I don't know what the Ottoman Empire thinks. It uses battleships to defend in a narrow waterway, and with a short range of destroyers to the sea to resist the large tonnage ships of the Russians.
The British -French Navy's Joint Fleet eight old -fashioned battleships ranked into a battle line and began to shells at the entrance to the Ottoman Empire Battery, mainly to suppress the aircraft guards.
After the turret is suppressed, the Lightning ships of the British and French Navy's joint fleet, the destroyer, etc. come forward for mine -sweeping operations.
On the first day, Britain and France occupied an advantage, because they controlled the shooting distance, the firepower of the Ottoman Empire could not be fully exerted.
The mine at the entrance was basically cleaned, and it also caused a lot of damage to the turret. After all, these turrets also had a history.
That night, the Ottoman Empire Navy dispatched a lot of boats to reorganize mines. This time, due to the insufficient amount of mines, the thunder was lost.
The next day, the British and French fleets wanted to repeat the glory of yesterday. After suppressing the artillery, they gradually approached, and more and more artillery of the Ottoman Empire could join the bombardment.
Relying on the heavy armor of the battleships, Britain and France gradually approached the entrance, and the armored cruiser took the lead and rushed into the Dardanelles.
Then, it triggered the mine.
The 10,000-ton cruiser, once the darling of the times, achieved a certain balance in speed, armor and firepower, and could even fight against the battleship.
However, facing the underwater attack, the 10,000-ton cruiser seemed so powerless. A mine killed a French 10,000-ton cruiser.
However, because the artillery had been firing, the armored cruiser had also eaten a lot of large-caliber guns before it fell silent, so that Britain and France mistakenly thought it was sunk by shells.
The battleship rushed inward more quickly.
Boom!
boom!
boom!
Three explosions sounded successively at the entrance of the strait. The three battleships triggered the mines and tilted rapidly.
The underwater defense of these old battleships was not very good. Once they were attacked underwater, they would sink easily.
At this time, Britain and France had already found something wrong and wanted to retreat in panic.
Boom!
Twelve water columns rose around the fleet one after another.
Boom!
Twelve more columns rose one after another.
The Ottoman Navy took action and hit the lifeline of the British and French coalition forces.
The remaining seven battleships (five old and two new) began to fight back and slowly retreated, while the battlecruisers retreated first.
After all, it was useless in this narrow area.
On the afternoon of January 19, when the British and French fleet withdrew, only five battleships, one battlecruiser, five battleships, two 10,000-ton armored cruisers and several old cruisers and destroyers remained in the Dardanelles.
In one day, Britain and France lost a total of more than 100,000 tons of naval tonnage, including five battleships and two 10,000-ton armored cruisers, which were all battleships in second-rate countries.
Among them, only one old second-class battleship, the Canopus, caught fire during the artillery battle, and the captain ordered the ship to be abandoned. The rest of the large ships were sunk by mines.
The Ottoman Empire was not in a good situation either. One battleship was moderately damaged and the other was slightly damaged. It seemed that the Ottoman Empire had an advantage, but the Ottoman Empire had no ability to repair ships.
Moreover, due to the haste of the war, the main gun shells of the main battleships of the Ottoman Navy were only more than 800 in reserve.
It sounds a lot, but the two battleships have 24 guns, and each gun can only be allocated more than 30 shells on average.
The Ottoman Empire asked the Austro-Hungarian Empire for help. Skoda was sending military experts to measure the parameters of the cannons. The shell problem could not be solved in a short time, and the warships could not be repaired.
Next, the Ottoman Empire could only send the navy with insufficient ammunition and injuries to block the British and French until the ammunition was exhausted or sunk.
The British defeat in the Dardanelles shocked the world. The world's number one navy of the British Empire, which controls the four oceans, is at this level?
Going to the door, and being beaten by the sick man of West Asia with a score of 0 to 100,000?
Of course, this is just a joke from those who have nothing to do with it. Those who have something to do with it, Britain and France, think it is a shame, want to avenge it, and remove the fleet commander.
And the other one is a bit tricky. After Germany heard it, or after William II heard it, an idea came to his mind, and it became stronger and stronger.
"Alfred, can we make some moves, at least make some achievements, you know, many people are quite critical of us." William II appealed to Tirpitz with emotion and reason.
Tirpitz touched his chin with one hand. This time, because the new battleships appeared two years ahead of schedule, part of the funds of Germany's second naval fiscal year were not used to build old warships.
At present, the total number of new battleships in the UK is 25, and the total number of battlecruisers is 12, with a total of 37, and the maximum caliber of the main gun is 343 mm. There are a total of 21 battleships equipped with 343 mm main guns.
The number of German battlecruisers is seven, which remains unchanged. The number of battleships is twenty, of which the caliber of the cannons of two classes of six warships is 350 mm.
The rest is 305 mm. Well, this time the Germans did not use 283 small water pipes.
Twenty-seven to thirty-seven, the number ratio is 72%. Of course, this does not count the number of dozens of old battleships in Britain.
"Your Majesty, the navy will take action in the near future to add glory to the German Navy!" After thinking about it, Alfred said carefully.
The number accounts for 70%, and the British have to take into account many places. They should be able to fight, right?
This is Alfred's idea.
Germany still has four battleships and two battlecruisers under construction, and another four battlecruisers and two battleships are ready to start construction.
However, the four British Queen Elizabeth-class battleships have been secretly put into service, which is not in the German plan.
In addition, Britain now has eleven battleships and seven battlecruisers under construction or ready to start construction. What Britain lacks now is a large dock over 200 meters long, which greatly slows down the construction of warships.
Among them, four battleships and two battlecruisers, equipped with 406 mm and 381 mm respectively, are being fitted out in the dock and are expected to be put into service by the end of the year.
This is the basis for Britain to lead the world again and maintain its maritime hegemony.
With the support of Britain's powerful shipbuilding industry, these warships will only take about two and a half years to be put into service and form combat effectiveness.
Even, several British naval departments are seeking to equip 17-inch or 18-inch super battleships, and the technology is being tackled.
(432 mm and 457 mm)
Although the power comparison has exceeded Tirpitz's expectations, William II's idea is correct. If he does not move at this time, the German Navy will never move again.
Germany's geographical location determines that once the war enters a protracted war, it will only become weaker and weaker, and the opponents it chooses will become stronger and stronger over time...
To a certain extent, the Germans really know how to choose their opponents.
