Vol 2 Chapter 49: , Army establishment

　　 "We have no eternal friends, nor eternal enemies, only eternal interests."
　　-Churchill
　　 This sentence is the foundation of the British Empire, and it accurately explains the relationship between various countries!
　　 There is no doubt that Bulgaria is now allies with Greece and Mentenegero, and the three countries are all competitors in the future! !
　　 Whether it is Ferdinand, George I, or Nicholas I, it is clear that the Balkan Peninsula is too small to support a powerful country!
　　In the age of the weak and the strong at the end of the 19th century, it was normal for the country and the nation to play black hands with each other for the survival of the country!
Father, like son!
　　 Greece is unlucky now, both allies are pitting it! This is no longer a question of the distribution of benefits. Ferdinand is completely using the knife to kill people, taking the opportunity to weaken this future enemy, so no matter what the Greeks promised, the ending cannot be changed!
　　 Ferdinand asked: "The Greeks are about to die. Once the Greek army is defeated, we will immediately declare war on the Ottoman Empire! How are we preparing now?"
　　 Prime Minister Constantine said with confidence: "Your Excellency, please rest assured that we are fully prepared and ready to go to war on the Ottoman Empire!
　　 At present, the nationwide mobilization has been completed. A total of more than 600,000 troops have been mobilized. Twelve division A divisions and 28 division B divisions have been reorganized!
　　 In addition, in order to ensure logistics supplies, we have also transferred 200,000 people from the railway company to form 20 logistics divisions who are responsible for bridges and road repairs to ensure smooth logistics and transportation!
　　 At the same time, we also mobilized most of the medical staff across the country to join the battlefield hospital to ensure that the wounded on the battlefield can be effectively rescued! "
　　 Ferdinand nodded, he was assured of the organizational ability of the Bulgarian government! At this point, we can be proud to say that there is no government in the world that can rival the Bulgarian government!
　　 This is also one of Ferdinand’s greatest achievements! Now a decree of Ferdinand can reach any village in Bulgaria in one day!
　　 This, let alone in the 19th century, even a hundred years later, few countries can do it!
　　 "Well! Next is the combat meeting, you guys should join together. Carl led my generals to the military conference room next door!" Ferdinand
　　 After Ferdinand took power, he strictly enforced the separation of military and government in Bulgaria. The military does not have the right to participate in government meetings (except those involving the military); the government also has no right to interfere in military meetings!
　　Only when major resolutions are made, after obtaining Ferdinand’s approval, can both military and political parties be eligible to participate at the same time! Under normal circumstances, it is in the annual budget competition and the national policy meeting that the military and political circles will appear at the same time!

The organization is basically the same as the first-class division. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has reduced an infantry regiment.

　　 Weapon parameters:
　　Bulgarian 1895 75mm field gun, copycat French M1897 75mm artillery
　　Caliber: 75mm
　　 Gun weight: 1160kg
　　 Gun length: 2.7m
　　 Gun barrel length: 36 times the caliber
　　 Effective range: 8500m
　　 Shot angle: -11°~18°
　　Muzzle rotation angle: 6°
　　Muzzle velocity: 529m/s (m/s)
　　 Projectile weight: (6.3--7.8)/5.5kg (high-explosive projectile), 6.4/6.1kg (armor piercing projectile), 7.24/7.98kg (shrapnel)
　　The weight of the range projectile is average, but the rate of fire is against the sky. The rate of fire is 15-18 rounds per minute, which is twice the 6-8 rounds per minute of the German FK96 77 field artillery in the same period.
　　 It is the first rapid-fire gun using a gas recoil machine. The previous rapid-fire guns used heavy hydraulic spring recoil machines.
At the same time, the German II FK96 type 77 field artillery, the Austro-Hungarian FKM99 type 76.5 field artillery, the Russian M1902 type 76.2 field artillery, the Italian M1906 type 75 field artillery, and Guizi’s 38 type 75 field artillery are all hydraulic spring-type recoil Machine, so the rate of fire can not compete with M1897.
