That's a big blow against the Ottomans. Now to just kick the rotting structure in.
I say push while the Ottomans are on the back foot and before they adapt. Take them for all they're worth.

With luck we can carve up the Middle East and not fuck it up like Britain and France did in real life.

    [X] Navy actions - Actively start deploying in force to destroy the Ottoman navy in the Black Sea, if they do not wish to come and fight, then blockade and shell their ports. If able to spear any battleships, they are to be deployed to provide shore bombardment capabilities. However this is not to be done at the expense of destroying or hemming in the Ottoman navy, which takes absolute priority
    [X] Army actions - Prepare to receive the first wave of Ottoman panic forces, sent in because holy crap they just lost over half their army and they will desperately try to stop what they perceive as rampaging Russians, after which they are to advance with the support of our armoured forces. Try to get the Armenian forces to follow our lead in this, as they would be useful as meat shields if anything goes wrong. Cavalry are to range out into Ottoman territory, destroying supply lines and rear units, they are to remain on the move as much as possible. If they are not able to disengage, they are allowed full discretion in destroying opposition before attempting to escape. After our ground forces have advanced far enough to remove all Ottoman forces they are to stop at the Armenian border and await further orders.

I'm not sure if we want to fully commit into destroying the Ottomans or if that will trigger the British too much and will start WW1 early, that's why I'm only reclaiming all previous Armenian territory.

Welcome to changes if people agree that parts don't make sense

I'm not really sure what our navy can do here, apart from maybe just keep intercepting convoys? maybe actually start hunting for the Ottoman navy

I'll add something like that, let them get their glory

Edit: Changed it and added navy

With this plan, I am trying to utterly destroy Ottoman war making capability without actually invading, which I assume will happen after the next war turn

I can't believe I never noticed this quest until now! And just as I finished binging through "The Last Czars" as well.

This is very interesting, I hope no one minds if I participate as well.

[X]Plan: 'Omae wa mou shindeiru'

Seems good, and I hope for a speedy resolution to the war. In this period if we drag it for too long then we might get dragged to a conference that will reverse our gains.
 
Yeah, I agree. Not sure if we are going to invade back or not. Can't see more than 3 odd war turns though
Shouldn't take too long. The Russian Army has modernized and it's using the lessons from America's Civil War. In OTL no single nation, including the European ones, took those lessons to heart, and if they did they took the wrong ones.

We should be able to win this. The problem will be the aftermath. The European nations will see the results, they will learn from what we did, and they will take us as a serious threat.

So much. Or they could plausibly allow their blinkered, racist viewpoints see that yhis could be the final nail in the coffin for the Ottomans, the Sick Man of Europe.

After all, they were heathenous wogs that need some good Christian, Western beatdown. They were so incompetent that enemy armies just roamed the countryside at will.
 
All jokes aside, let's not discount the Ottomans to soon. While yes, we will more than likely beat them harder than Mike Tyson in a fight with a toddler, a cornered foe can be most dangerous.

Real question is, are we going to finish them off? Annex them? or just liberate the countries in Europe and the Middle East?

My wildest demand would be Constantinople.

The most reasonable one might be to obtain Armenia as a Vassal and full transit rights through the Dardanelles, with preferential trading status with the Sublime Porte.
 
Brazil has now joined the Pact of the North and with the alliance with Britain relations with the rest of South America are now extremely tense, Argentina Chile and Uruguay are beginning preparations in case of a war.
Japanese warship has been discovered transposing in waters belonging to the kingdom of Joseon, unfortunately for them, the small fleet of the kingdom was training nearby and managed to capture the ship and are refusing to release them into Japanese care.
They also have started to take an interest in Hawaii and are increasing their navy because of it.

These are the three most important parts of the world news, related to us, so next turns plan will focus on militarising our holdings in South America and Hawaii, Working on the Trans-Siberian now that we've finished the planning and, of course, pee on Hawaii to establish our dominance to America
 
I have only one comment to make. Greece should already be independent, they declared and won their Independence in 1821

Actually most of the balkan nations are free in some shape and form going from conference of Berlin 1878.

I agree, but more importantly it would triger response from our allies as well, Austro-Hungari had interests in the Balkans and Germany as well had interests in Ottoman Empire which is backed by Berlin bagdad railway that will begin around 1903.

I think that reasonable demands would be independent Armenian that is our vassal


(Western Armenia along yellow borders, Orange is part of russia at the moment)

and free passage through the straits , formalising annexation of Bosnia by Austro-Hungari (It was occupied by Austria and annexed after Russo-Japanese war in otl), Balkans will probably need to be dealt with in cooperation with Austro-Hungari.
