Vol 2 Chapter 55: Adrian Fort

After the First Army achieved the victory over the Battle of the Karagach River, it did not stop the offensive. The 10th and 14th Divisions surrounded the "Western Gateway" of the Ottoman Empire-Fort Adrian!
Adrian Fort is located at the confluence of the Maritza and Densa rivers. It is the intersection of the Balkans to Istanbul and the Aegean Railway. It has transportation and strategic significance.
After taking down Adrian Fort, the portal to Constantinople opened!
At this time, Adrian Fort already had some misconceptions! The Ottoman Empire entered the second half of the 19th century, just like Wang Xiaoer's New Year. Even the normal military rang can't be paid on time, let alone spend money to repair the fort!
After the outbreak of the Balkan War, Ottoman talents temporarily held their feet and repaired and strengthened the fortifications! At this point, there were 8,000 garrisons in Fort Adrian, and the highest military commander was represented by Lieutenant Colonel Victor Pasha!
Aristocratic masters, they are all gone now, and the morale of the army can be imagined! Lieutenant Colonel Victor Pasha also knew that Adrian Fortress could not be kept at all. In addition to the morale of the army, the most important thing was the lack of material reserves!
If the warehouse in the city had not been leased to the merchant by the officials, the mice would have been running! As for the reserve of strategic materials, which one has to ask the ex and ex, he doesn't know anyway!
While the Bulgarian army was preparing to attack the city, an uninvited guest appeared at the headquarters!
Petrov, Chief of Staff of the First Group of Army, looked at the person in doubt and asked, "I don't know if Mr. Victor Keith is coming here. What's your advice?"
"Mr. Chief of Staff, I'm here for Adrian Fort! Now the senior nobles in Adrian Fort have run away. The commander-in-chief of the city is Colonel Victor Pasha, and he has not ordered the entire army. Prestige, this is our chance! "Victor Keith said directly.
Petrov said faintly, "Mr. Victor Keith, this is really good news, which is very good for our siege! But this news does not require you to run it yourself?"
Victor Keith shook his head and said, "No! I mean, we might win Adrian fort without any blood!"
Watching Petrov's frown, he explained, "Lieutenant Colonel Victor Pasha has another identity. He is a member of the Turkish Al-Shabaab!
Since the Turkish Al-Shabaab failed in a coup, it has been brutally suppressed by the Sudanese government.
In order to overthrow the dictatorship of the Sudanese government, now the Turkish Al-Shabaab has become desperate after a series of internal struggles!
Even the Armenian Revolutionary Party has worked with them again. Basically, as long as it is conducive to the overthrow of the Sudanese government, they are willing to do it! "
Petrov asked in wonder, "Even if so, they would not be able to give Adrian Fort directly to us! In case the Sudanese government forces are defeated, the Balkans will have nothing to do with the Ottoman Empire?
Once it happens, it is absolutely impossible for the Sudanese government to let him go, and even his family will be implicated. Even if you threaten him with the identity of the Turkish Al-Shabaab, it will be useless! "
Victor Keith did not explain, but just said lightly "try it without any loss? It may not be possible for him to surrender, but it is easy to let go of it!"
The Ottoman Empire is a magical country. Now their battlefields are losing, and there is no big deal in one more place. Some of them have ways to blame! "
Petrov thought about it and said, "Well, now that your intelligence department is confident, go ahead! If you need anything, I can cooperate. But at the latest tomorrow night, we will still launch an attack!"
...
"Like Colonel Victor Pasha for a long time!"
"Victorkis, you dare to show up. Now the Sudanese government is full of wanted orders for you. Does n’t it mean that now that war breaks out, no one will take your credit for it?" Victor Pasha sneered Say
Victor Keith turned a deaf ear to his words, found a chair and made it, then said lightly, "At least you can't! The enemy of the enemy is a friend, we may have differences, but at least overthrow the dictatorship of the Sudanese government In governance, there are common topics!
As for differences? Let's wait until the Sudanese government is overthrown. As now, everyone can only hide in the dark, out of sight, and worry about revealing their identity at any time. The days of being arrested by the secret police can be hard! "
After listening to his words, Victor Pasha's tone softened, and he asked, "What are you doing here with me? If it is lack of weapons and ammunition, I can provide you with a batch now!"
Victor Keith shook his head and said, "Since the last uprising in Constantinople failed, the running dogs of the Sudanese government are like crazy, they have stared at us dead, and they have never launched again. opportunity!
I came to you this time to discuss a major event, a major event that would hurt the Sudanese government! "
Lieutenant Colonel Vixto-Pasha was even more puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?"
"You know the Balkan wars!" Victor Keith
Victor rolled his eyes and said, isn't this nonsense, isn't I hitting?
"If the Ottoman Empire is defeated, and it is a fiasco, can the rule of the Sudanese government be so stable? Then our opportunity will come!" Victor Keith said cautiously
After a moment of silence, Victor said coldly, "You are here to be a lobbyist for Bulgarians! Stop dreaming, I cannot surrender!"
Victor Keith explained,
Do n’t get me wrong, I ’m just making a suggestion, not asking you to surrender! Now that the situation in Adrian Fort, UU Reading Www.uukanshu.com is not clear? It is impossible to block Bulgarian offense!
Instead of waiting here to die, you might as well break out, after all, the Sudanese government is not worth everyone's life for them! "
Lieutenant Colonel Vixto-Pasha was shaken. The dignity of the soldier prevented him from surrendering, but if it was a breakout, it would be different!
"Say! What do you want me to do? What benefits does the Bulgarian promise? Is it worth your life?"
Victor Keith smiled and said, "It's very simple. As long as you leave a hole in the city defense and put them in, you can naturally break through with your men when the city breaks!
This is something that is good for everyone. You put Bulgarians in, they let you go, you can take whatever you want!
And after that, Bulgarians are willing to donate a million levs to help you fund your activities!
As for me? Bulgaria is committed to supporting our independence movement and launching their influence to keep the Russians on our side! "
"You still do business, can I still refuse?" Colonel Victor Pasha said wryly.
"Why refuse? It's a win-win situation! None of us are afraid of death, but for the Sudanese government, let's forget it! Time is running out and you should prepare early and don't make Al-Shabaab hard-won The family ’s house was buried for nothing! "Victor Keith said, half tempting and half threatening.
...
Early in the morning the next day, the Bulgarian army launched a full-scale attack on Adrianople. Less than an hour after the war, it broke the North Gate!
After more than three hours of stubborn resistance led by Lieutenant Colonel Victor Pasha, he was eventually defeated and forced to break out from the South Gate. At this point, the gateway to the west of the Ottoman Empire, Adrian Fort, fell!
