* An attack would be to Turkey. I have to think of it as a statesman. I need to prepare scenarios for that. Where will I defend Thrace if there is an attack? I will defend as far as possible.
* Thrace is divided into two if the channel is Istanbul. This has negative effects on the troops that will defend Thrace in the future. Logistic flows coming from Anatolia or from the east of the Channel. Reinforcements. If necessary, you will bring the unity in Ankara to Thrace. Where will we pass in Thrace? Are they sensitive to enemy shots and destruction? The enemy will first destroy them and try to block your logistics flow. We will defend Thrace from the very beginning. You are dividing Channel Istanbul and Thrace. You prevent the movements from behind. That's not right.
