The development of World War I has shown an extremely chaotic situation.

Since the February Revolution broke out in Russia, front-line officers and soldiers have generally been depressed and lacked logistics supplies, so life is very difficult. The Turkish army has seen the opportunity and took an "Caucasus Storm" operation in March. After nearly a month of fierce fighting, the Turkish army annihilated 250,000 Russian troops in Armenia and Georgia in one fell swoop, completely occupying Armenia, Azerbaijan, and most of Georgia.

After the Russian army was defeated, they could only retreat to the Caucasus Mountains and blocked the Turkish army with the advantage of the local terrain. However, although the Turkish army won the "Battle of the Southern Caucasus", they also suffered heavy losses. In this battle, the number of casualties reached 170,000, as many as 360,000 were injured, and 30 divisions were all crippled. They were also seriously injured and were unable to organize an attack again.

The biggest problem with the Turkish army is that they lack capable officers' leadership, and the army is seriously corrupt, most of the officers are just for corpses, military science is very backward, and there are serious factional conflicts. Although they have received a large number of modern weapons provided by China and have received support from Germany, Austria and other countries after participating in the Allies, their combat effectiveness has not been improved much. If they fight defensive wars, they can barely let go, but once they start offensive wars and public security wars, they will be blind.

This battle exposed all these problems of the Turkish army, and most of the losses were caused when pursuing the Russian army, which was very speechless. If the Russian army had not had the same problems and had morale been dragged down by the domestic revolution, they would have been unable to defeat the Russian army in this battle.

However, the Turkish army's performance was not entirely unobstructed. They performed very well in the Palestine area. Because the Turkish army here is the core team of the Olympic Party, they have played an extremely strong combat power under the leadership of Kemal.

Starting from October last year to April this year, five battles broke out in the Palestinian area, each ending with the failure 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 were injured, and another 160,000 were captured (mostly Indians). The Turkish troops only killed more than 30,000 people and injured more than 80,000 people.

In this plane, the situation of the Allies in the Middle East is much worse than that of the original time and space. Because the establishment of the Arab Republic has allowed many Arabs who could have incited to fight against Turkey to have their own countries, and their previous plans can only be adjusted.

The territory of the Arab Socialist Republic on this plane is very large, equivalent to the entire Saudi Arabia except the Hassan region in the original time and space, south of Kifri in Iraq (about south of 35 degrees north latitude), east of the Jordan River, east of the line from Damascus to Lake Assad in Syria, and south of the Euphrates River.

The Turkish government was no longer able to maintain the rule of the above-mentioned areas at that time, and it was declared war by Russia, and the Arab Republic was also quite capable of fighting. In order not to be attacked on both sides, no matter how unhappy they had to pinch their noses and settle the reality.

For the purpose of restraining Turkey and taking into account China's reaction, the Allies accepted the new country with the flow. But in this way, there were gains and losses. Although the establishment of the Arab Socialist Republic was equivalent to digging a piece of meat on Turkey, the Arabs then had their own country, and the Allies lost most of the Arab masses who could be used as cannon fodder.

After the Arab Republic achieved independence, it reached a tacit understanding with Turkey, and did not interfere with the war between the Allies and the Allies. Britain and France won over several times, but after they failed to fool them, there was no way. Later they also realized that the Arab Republic was China's younger brother, and if China had no action, they would never move.

So many previous plans could only change, such as the famous legend in the history of the original time and space, the former British North African intelligence officer "Lawrence of Arabia". He lost most of the stage and had to go to Palestine and Lebanon to act in shame, which caused the momentum to be far from being compared with the original time and space. But even so, it caused a lot of trouble to Turkey's local rule.

After Turkey officially joined the Allies, it became accustomed to Russia in the Caucasus area, but the Russians were not strong enough, and instead was beaten by Turkey. In order to open up the situation, Britain and France were preparing to launch an attack on Turkey from Egypt. At this time, the Western Front was also very nervous, and it was impossible to transfer troops from Europe. So from August to October last year, Britain collected 15 divisions from India to Egypt and prepared to do a big battle.

At this time, the Al Shabaab, which ruled Turkey, was also anxious after learning that the British army was about to attack, because most of the confidant main forces they controlled went to war with the Russians on the front line of the Caucasus, and they could not draw enough troops at all. So they had to use the Olympic Party, which was previously on the bench, and let their troops go to the Palestinian region to resist the British and Indian troops.

Facts have proved that this decision was very wise. The Olympic Party armed forces led by Kemal not only successfully withstood the large-scale attack of the British and Indian army and defended Palestine. They also defeated the British and Indian army here and achieved 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 winning the Corsica Sea Battle, they fought against French North Africa with the support of the navy and air force. At that time, most of the military forces of French North Africa were transferred to aid the land, so they were once suppressed by Italian Daili. The French, who lacked soldiers, lost consecutive battles and occupied the entire ******* and eastern Algeria by Italy.

However, the Allies quickly won a game back. The British and Egyptian coalition forces attacked Eritrea in Italy from Sudan. The Italian troops could not resist it and completely failed after half a month.

However, the Allies soon couldn't laugh.

The Germans who opened up the ocean's exports sent a huge fleet to aid German East Africa in August last year. The fleet was escorted by a large number of warships led by four battleships and four battlecruisers. At that time, the fleet of Britain and France in Africa was weak and had to watch Er Dezi sway through his nose.

The fleet carried a regular infantry division, two artillery regiments, an air force wing, as well as a large number of weapons and supplies. After receiving so much assistance, the German East African Legion, Lieutenant General Leto Furbeck, the commander of the legion called the "African God of War", immediately began to show his strength. He first occupied Zanzibar, which was weak in 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 in November last year and occupied the entire British East Africa (Kenya) and Uganda.

Then, with the large number of armed forces in his hands, Falbeck expanded the colonial forces composed of the locals on a large scale and formed six divisions. Moreover, the Germans also played the trick of turning over tables in Africa. They regarded themselves as liberators and made promises to the blacks. Once the war ended, they would support these colonies to establish their own country.

There is no doubt that Erdezi's move immediately received strong support from the locals. Not only were many locals willing to serve the places they occupied, but even the black millets in nearby British Rhodesia, Biden Congo, and Portuguese East Africa started to make trouble. Even the South African independence movement, which had just been suppressed, began to move again. It has to be said that this trick that William II had made great efforts did indeed achieve miraculous results, which made the situation of the Allies in East Africa, South Africa and some Central Africa suddenly become passive.

Although Hei Shushu's combat power is only five, it cannot withstand the number of people. Public security wars have always been the most troublesome, especially when there are support and support from foreign enemies, the degree of this trouble will increase in geometric range. Originally, there were not many troops in the colonies of the Allies, and they were harassed by Forbeck a few times a while ago, and their strength was not enough to suppress the entire colony.

Moreover, in addition to providing weapons and training to those black sorghum, the Germans also provided them with a lot of stimulants. So the Allied forces were in trouble. The black sorghum who took drugs had strong combat effectiveness. With the support of the Germans, they formed many so-called "independent free army" and attacked the settlements and colonists of the Allied countries everywhere.

The Allies were frustrated by these drug-taking black mugs, so they had to retreat to some important strongholds. Most of the territory had to give up and let the black mugs go crazy.

However, the Allies quickly won a game in North Africa. After the Battle of Gibraltar, the navy of the Allies was forced to retreat to lick their wounds. Soon after, a large number of second-hand warships purchased by Britain and France from China and the United States also arrived. In order to open up the situation in the Mediterranean, they transferred twenty of the former dreadnoughts and eight armored cruisers to the Mediterranean. With the original naval power of Britain and France, the Allies' fleet in the Mediterranean had two Guba-class dreadnoughts, forty front dreadnoughts and sixteen armored cruisers, and the situation changed a lot.

Although the Allies still have 12 dreadnoughts, 11 front dreadnoughts and 6 armored cruisers in the Mediterranean, they still have an absolute advantage in the number of dreadnoughts. However, the Allies are not powerless to fight back now. Although the dreadnoughts are not enough, the former dreadnoughts are sufficient. It must be admitted that although these second-hand ships from China and the United States have been sold at sky-high prices, their help to the Allies is very obvious. They not only stabilized the situation in the Mediterranean, but also had time to let the Japanese joint fleet reinforce the Atlantic region of France.

After suffering a great loss in the Battle of Gibraltar, the Allies broke up and have not been reorganized. So the Allies took this opportunity to re-control the Mediterranean. The first one was unlucky that was North Africa controlled by Yidaili. As many as 18 divisions of reinforcements were transported to Algeria, and three Japanese divisions landed in *******. At the same time, Egypt also took the opportunity to launch an attack from the east.

Under the attack on three sides, the Italians could not resist it, and the troops attacking Algeria retreated all the way. Until now, the Italians not only spit out the newly occupied eastern Algeria and *******, but also lost most of their own Libya. At present, the Italian army was beaten by the Allied coalition and dared not emerge, and they hurried in the two strongholds in Benghazi and Tripoli to support it.

So a very magical scene occurred in Africa. In North Africa, the allies were beaten up. But south of Sudan, the allies were showing off their power and the Allies were bloody.

However, the main battlefield of World War I was in Europe after all, and the focus was on the Western Front, which was the foundation of both sides of the war. The situation in both West Asia and Africa seemed secondary to Europe.
