Chapter 117: Preparations for Serbia

Even though the enemy's fighting power is not good this time, Ferdinand still wants to minimize the loss as much as possible!
With regard to the command of the army, Ferdinand is not planning to intervene, it should be training! There is no need to think about artillery when it comes to weapons and equipment. Poor clinking Serbia, now that there are artilleries, ca n’t afford cannonballs, or what about rebels?
The artillery equipped by the Bulgarian Army now has an advantage!
末 At the end of the 19th century, in addition to the rapid-fire artillery of the army's inter-generational weapons?
Of course it is the first machine gun of Mark Qin! In 1894, it was the first time that Mark Qin's heavy machine gun appeared!
In Rhodesia, Africa in 1894, the British army and the local Matabiri-Suluthian war, in one battle, a British army of more than 50 people repelled 5000 with only four Mark Qin heavy machine guns. Dometaburi's dozens of charge, killed more than 3,000 people.
It really was World War I that made Mark Qin stand out. At that time, the Germans were equipped with MG08 Mark Qin heavy machine guns. In the battle on the Somme, 60,000 British troops were killed in a day, becoming the number of people killed in World War I. At most once.
Since then, military forces of various countries have successively equipped Mark Qin with heavy machine guns, and Mark Qin has become a well-known killing weapon.
Although knowing the power of Mark Qin ’s heavy machine guns, arsenals can also be used as cottages, but since this period ’s Mark Qin ’s heavy machine guns were too heavy, and they needed to be filled with water at any time during use, they were prone to jams. Once discovered by the enemy in advance, The practicality is greatly reduced!
At present, the Bulgarian army also only has a small amount of equipment, mainly for training machine gunners. Ferdinand originally planned to launch the M1897 Hatchikas machine gun after the technical breakthrough.
Now I don't care about that much anymore. I immediately ordered the arsenal to rush to make 300 Mark Qin heavy machine guns, plus the ones already listed, so that each company of the main force would be equipped with one.
It's not that you don't want to match more. The key is that the bullet consumption is too large. Now the production capacity of the Bulgarian arsenal is so large, and there will be more logistical supplies if there are more machine guns!
The most important thing is money. After a large-scale battle, based on the consumption of 50,000 bullets of a machine gun, the good guys have lost tens of millions of bullets. This is all money!
Fortunately, this time it is only a local war, and the goal is only to weaken Serbian military strength. It is a preventive war!
The staff estimates that the duration will not exceed two weeks, Serbia will turn to Austria-Hungary for help, and the show can also end!
It may be only one or two days in the continuous battle, or it may be just a few hours to determine the outcome!
The Bulgarian war machine has begun, and the history of the Bulgarian war once again appeared in the newspaper. Revenge Xueyu became the mainstream of the people, and Serbia became the number one enemy again!
Everyone knows that it is time to fight! The Balkans have always been the high ground of war. Since the Serbian invasion of Bulgaria nine years ago, the relationship between the two countries has not been better. It is normal to drop the rocks now!
The big move in Bulgaria cannot be concealed from the Serbian government.
The young king Alexander Oblianovi is so anxious now that the domestic troubles have not been resolved, and the Bulgarians are coming again! Even if arrogant, he doesn't think Serbia can win this war now!
一 At the beginning of the emergency meeting, Alexander couldn't help but say: "You, Bulgarian wolf ambitions are already known by passersby, what should we do now?"
The Minister of War said angrily: "We must immediately mobilize nationwide to give Bulgaria a headache !!"
After listening to the Minister of War, Alexander asked expectantly: "Oh, what plans do you have in the Ministry of War? How many troops do you need to mobilize to win this war?"
The Minister of War thought for a while and said, "This ~ depends on how many Bulgarian troops invaded? They now have 130,000 regular troops, and can also conduct civilian mobilization. The invaded army may exceed 100,000, even 200,000 is possible!
We only have 100,000 troops, and we have to split our troops to suppress the chaotic party. At least we must mobilize another 200,000 troops to be sure to defeat them! "
The words of the Minister of War have just fallen, and everyone took a breath of breath. For a small country with a population of two million, this is already a force for the country!
The Minister of Finance was frightened by the Minister of War's lion's mouth, questioning: "But what about weapons and equipment ?? To arm so many troops, where can we get so many weapons?"
The Minister of Finance did not mention the money this time. He knows that at this time, he can no longer care whether the finances will collapse. He won the war. All things to say, the cabinet must be ready to get out of the war, and he will not continue to worry!
After listening to the Minister of Finance, Alexander looked at the Minister of War with anticipation and asked, "How much weapon inventory do we have now, and how many troops can we equip?"
The Minister of War was silent for a moment, and said with difficulty: "This ~ 唉! Due to insufficient funding of the army ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and the attrition of suppressing the rebellion, the arms reserve has fallen to the lowest point in ten years in the past two years, only 1,000 More than 300 rifles, two artillery, barely can equip a regiment! "
Although all the amateurs are sitting, I know how it is, the army must guarantee one gun per person!
Looking now, after the national mobilization, on average three people and one gun came down, which is almost the same as the Russian Army in World War I. The combat effectiveness can be imagined!
Alexander I asked unwillingly: "So what to buy now?"
The Foreign Minister didn't think about it, and immediately spoke, saying: "Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the diplomatic envoys of various countries have adopted it. There is no problem in purchasing weapons, but the price is slightly higher, and it takes a little time!"
多 "How high?" The Minister of Finance asked habitually.
"Five tiers higher than the current international price, and they suggested that we buy rifle rifles. They have a lot of inventory, and they can be cheaper in price and much faster in time!" Said Foreign Minister 忐忑
"What are five floors high, why not grab it!"
"What a rifle, those junk goods have a fart!"
Almost at the same time, the Minister of Finance and the Minister of War issued questions!
At this time, the Prime Minister said: "I remember that we also eliminated a batch of rifles before, or we will first take them out for recruits!"
The Minister of War countered: "No! What are the old weapons? What about murder?"
The Prime Minister said unhurriedly, "Don't be excited, our war minister! Isn't it old weapon that can kill someone? First train new recruits, wait for the weapons to be bought back, and then change the clothes!"
After hearing the Prime Minister's explanation, the war minister nodded reluctantly!
