章 246: Planning For the Gallipoli Campaign

Bruno would gather daily with the fellow leaders of the Army Groups sent to the Balkan Campaign. At the same time, Montenegro, as expected, fell by the wayside. With Serbia out of the war, and being surrounded by a technologically superior army numbered over tenfold their own forces, the small Kingdom admitted defeat before the final battle had been waged. 

In the span of a single season, the two greatest concerns of the Balkans had been taken out with swift and decisive action. Now all that remained was the Ottoman Empire, and it had been a thorn in Europe's side for far, far too long. And Bruno would bring a brutal end to its regime, and in doing so, would allow Greece to reclaim its historical and disputed territories. 

Bruno planned to be so thorough in his victory that not a single Turk would remain in the lands of Thrace, Ionia, Cyprus, the Dodecanese Islands, and Crete. So long as a single Turk occupied these lands, they would forever be disputed.
