The Ottoman Empire joins the Allies and declares war on the Entente. This made the scale of the world war larger, and the two sides committed more troops to the battlefield.
The national mobilization of the Ottoman Empire forced the Russian Empire to invest a large number of troops to guard against the Ottoman attack. In the Caucasus and the Dardanelles, as well as the Bosphorus, fought against the Ottoman Empire.
The Caucasus, because gradually entering winter. The Ottoman offensive was not large-scale, and the Russian Empire gathered the forces of two army groups, which could not only repel the Ottoman attack. At the same time, there is still room to launch a counterattack. However, because the climate became colder, it limited the attack of the Russian Empire.
But it is foreseeable that once next spring, after the temperature warms, the Russian Empire will definitely enter a large-scale attack.
Southern Balkans, Dardanelles and Bosphorus.
The Ottoman Army and the Russian Imperial Army launched heavy shelling across the strait.
Instead, the Ottomans wanted to cross the strait and invade the Balkans. But their navy is almost abandoned. And the main forces of the Black Sea Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy have returned to the Aegean Sea.
810 The entire Mediterranean Sea is now completely under the control of the Allied navies. In addition, the army of the Caesar Kingdom was also all assembled in the northern mountains. There was no need for the Russian Imperial Navy to deploy too much in the waters around the Caesar Kingdom.
Now the Ottoman Empire declared war on the Entente. The Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Imperial Navy was just right for the heavy shelling of the coastal cities of the Ottoman Empire.
As for the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus, because the straits are too narrow and completely within the range of army artillery. Naval warships entered, and were also vulnerable to Ottoman artillery. What’s more, although the Ottomans did not have a strong navy, they could also lay mines in the straits to prevent the ships of the Imperial Russian Navy from entering. For this reason, the Imperial Russian Navy could only send minesweepers, knowing the mines laid by the Ottomans in the strait.
Fortunately, reinforcements from the Russian Imperial Army reached the southern Balkans by rail and sea.
Especially after the arrival of reinforcements from the five army groups, the rest of the troops assembled by the Russian Empire in this area have reached the millions. In terms of firepower, it was even more able to crush the Ottomans.
Even if there was an artillery battle between the two sides, the Ottomans would not have the slightest advantage.
Under these circumstances, the Ottoman artillery blockade of the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus was gradually lifted. However, the Russian Empire also did not dare to snub in the slightest. This strait was too important for the Russian Empire. Once the strait was completely blocked, the economy of the Russian Empire would be greatly affected.
Therefore, the Tsarist Imperial Army has begun to make plans to prepare for the strength of the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus, attack the Asia Minor Peninsula, seize the area south of the strait in one fell swoop, and thus ensure the security of the strait.
In preparation for this great war, the Russian Empire began to transport a large number of combat materials and personnel to the Balkans.
At the same time, the Ottoman Empire’s declaration of war on the Entente also made the Sun Never Set Empire and the Gallic countries breathe a bad breath.
Previously, they had always suspected that the Russian Empire could not contribute, and wanted to use the Germans to consume the strength of the Empire and the Gallic State. However, now a large part of the Russian Empire’s military power was pinned down in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Caesars Kingdom and the Ottoman Empire. Coupled with the need for troops to garrison other places, the Russian Empire was almost at the limit of the Russian Empire.
Under such circumstances, the Sun Never Sets Empire and the Gallic Kingdom, naturally there is nothing more to say.
Even the Empire and the Gallic Kingdom withstood the most powerful (abaj) Germanic Empire in the Allies in this war. However, the Russian Empire was now alone in the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman battlefields. Moreover, on the battlefield in the north of the Caesar Kingdom, the Russian Empire was also the main force. The Russian Empire has used a lot of power in this war.
After more than a month of preparation, the Germanic Empire was ready again.
After full mobilization, the Germanic Imperial Army was able to gather more troops on the Western Front.
This time, the Germanic Imperial Army mobilized as many as three million troops to launch a fierce attack on the Western Front, hoping to defeat the Empire and Gaul in one fell swoop before the onset of winter and win the victory on the Western Front. It would be best if the Galls could be forced out of the war in this war.
And the sun never sets and the Gauls are also very aware that the greatest test for them has come. If they can withstand this round of attack by the Germans, they will have months of respite because of the arrival of winter. Moreover, because of the naval blockade of the Allies, the material consumption of the Allies will be even more serious. This war will inevitably drag into a war of attrition. This is undoubtedly very beneficial for the Entente Group. For the Allies, it was a further deterioration of the situation.
Therefore, in the face of the fierce attack of the Germans, the sun does not set and the Gauls are also desperate.
The strength of the Imperial Expeditionary Force has increased to 800,000 people. And the country of Gaul has been mobilized to the extreme. The total population of the entire country of Gaul is only 40 million. However, the army they mobilized was already as high as four million people.

One million of them were pinned down on the northern battlefield of the Caesar Kingdom. The vast majority of the other three million were deployed on the northern battlefields of Gaul.
Even so, in terms of combat power, even if the Sun Never Sets Empire and the Gallic Kingdom have a military advantage, they are still at a disadvantage.
However, fortunately, the entire Western Front battlefield has completely entered the mode of trench warfare. There were deep trenches and barbed wire everywhere, as well as mines laid. Plus artillery positions and permanent fire points.
This makes the attacking side, every step forward, need to pay a heavy price.
The sun does not set and the Germans, relying on such tactics, although they lost a lot of positions, they also paid huge casualties. However, it firmly resisted the attack of the Germans.
This completely frustrated the Germanic Empire’s plan to achieve a quick victory. This war has inevitably entered a stalemate.
