Peace breaks out! AHE knows where this is going, their fleet will never get big enough to take on the Allies. If by chance they get naval superiority for one turn, probably Ottoman Empire will be overrun.
The Turks actually have some forces in Egypt, they agree to pull out, and, hand out economic “candy” to the Allies, oil leases(they make sure AHE helps finance their share of the Ottoman leases).
IPCs lost Axis troopers 11, &, Allies trooper 13, fighters 7, &, 3, transport 2, &, 1, subs. 3, &, 4, C 4, &, 5, and, BB five each side.
