Vol 4 Chapter 72: The era of pit teammates

With the end of the first phase of the Battle of Taranto, it also had a severe impact on the World War. Especially in the battlefield on the western front, the entry of the Italians has made history a different road.
Due to the fall of Taranto, the Italian government is now desperate for a victory to offset the political impact of the defeat of the Taranto campaign.
On April 15, the Italian government decided to cooperate with the Germans in attacking France, and the responsibility for implementing this plan was the 6th Italian General Admiral Iguid-Cadorna.
In fact, there are still serious territorial conflicts between France and Italy-Savoy and Nice. In history, in order to gain French support to get rid of Austrian rule, the two countries signed the Turin Treaty in 186o. The two places were ceded to the French.
With the rise of Italy, emerging nationalism is very dissatisfied with this, especially in Nice, it is also the source of Italian national liberation.
Between France and Italy, there has always been a natural border in the Alps, and it is not easy to attack France.
However, now the opportunity has come. Because the Germans restrained the French army's large number of troops, the French garrison on the French-Italian border is less than 50,000, and the Italian kingdom has assembled 500,000 troops.
The French must thank Ferdinand. If it was not for the sudden battle of Taranto, France may now face more than half a million Italian troops.
The Italians have limited strategic material reserves, and if they go all out to attack, they can only support for three months.
Of course, this is not to say that the Italians can only fight for three months. In fact, their domestic production is still being supplemented, but this degree cannot keep up with the consumption on the battlefield!
Therefore, the battle decision became the sole principle of the Phuket-Kordorna, as did the Germans.
In 19o5, Germany formulated the "Schlieffen Plan". According to the plan, the Germans had to quickly invade France through Belgium, defeat the French in a short period of time, and then send their troops to the East for a decisive battle with the Russians.
As in parallel spacetime, the German offensive was stalled due to the sudden explosion of Belgium.
Despite this situation, the war broke out later, and the Germans were better prepared, but Belgium was delayed for a week.
In just one week, the fate of the two empires was changed. Within this week, France completed a military mobilization of 1.5 million people. Now the total strength of the French has reached 2.98 million.
The Germans who broke into France were dumbfounded, and suddenly their advantage was gone! The raid has lost its effect, so the two sides can only compete in strength.
The value of the Italians increased greatly, so Germany and Italy conspired, and half a million Italian troops launched a full-scale attack on the French.
...
For the French, their crisis has come. Although their total strength has now exceeded 3.5 million, the French commander Joseph Jacques Sezer Xiafei still feels that the strength is not enough.
"Mr. President, what do the British say, when will their promised reinforcements arrive?" Xiafei asked eagerly.
"This week, three British divisions will arrive, next week there will be five divisions, and in June another twenty divisions will arrive on the battlefield." Raymond Pungalai said angrily.
Obviously, John Bull had dealt with this, and the war broke out for more than a month. Only a 6th army division of the British promised reinforcements arrived on the battlefield, and the pressure on the Western Front was all over the French.
"Oh, the British are willing to send so many reinforcements?" Xia Fei asked in amazement.
"Hmm, they are all colonial troops. Their main division, the British are still reluctant to send out!" Raymond Pungalai said angrily.
If they were the main force of the British army, these troops were enough to make the French rejoice, which can almost offset the Italian threat.
But is the colonial army? Their fighting power is always a with a fighting power equal to 5. They can be used as cannon fodder. If they want to defeat the joint attack of the Germans and Italians, they still have to rely on the French themselves.
From the beginning of the war to the present, the French army has on average paid tens of thousands of casualties every day. The Germans have caused nearly 500,000 casualties to France in more than a month.
It can be said that until now, France is the country with the largest loss of personnel among all the participating countries. Their pressure can be imagined!
Xia Fei asked again, "What about the Russians? When will they be able to attack the Germans?
And Bulgaria, can they attack South Italy and help us contain the enemy?
Mr. President, do you know how much military pressure we are now facing, and at the same time facing the offensive of Germany and Italy!
Without the support of our allies, we alone can't last long! "
Raymond Pungalai said with a bitter smile: "I know all these issues. The Russians have completed national mobilization. They promised to attack the Eastern Front in the shortest possible time to contain the German forces.
As for Bulgaria, their foreign ministry said they could do nothing. Now they have to face the siege of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Romania, Montenegro, and Ottoman Empire. There is really no room to open a new front! "
After hearing the words of the president, Xia Fei became even more angry. It was clear that the Allies had the advantage, but on the western front France was beaten by the Germans. In his view, these allies are undoubtedly watching France and Germany desperately.
In the eyes of the French, the British were still weak and took a bunch of colonial troops to make up for them. The influence of the British anti-war factions was ignored by them automatically.
Not to mention the Russians, let the Germans not fight, and now they caught the soft persimmon of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and did not achieve their desired goal.
It sounds like Bulgaria has done its utmost and is under heavy military pressure on all sides. In fact, they all know that although there are many enemies facing Bulgaria, they are of poor quality!
Together, these four countries are not as good as one-third of the Germans. Moreover, the Russians have helped to restrain three of them!
From a military perspective, Bulgaria can turn four enemies into two at any time as long as it is willing, and Romania and Montenegro have no war potential at all!
...
For all this, Ferdinand can only say: Allies are used to pit!
First, the British, French, and Bulgarian pitted the Russians together. Now 70% of the Austro-Hungarian empire's strength is used on the bears; then the British, Russian, and Bulgarian pits the French and borne the Germans alone Eighty-tenths of its strength is now added to Italy.
After the Russians were pitted once, they decisively let go of Germany, caught the soft persimmon of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and turned over to France!
Is it so easy for France to get stuck? Ferdinand doesn't know, but he knows that there are only interests between nations, and everything revolves around interests!
So if you are in the French position, how can you break the situation?
It is impossible for the navy to move. The French will never dare to abandon the Mediterranean. Otherwise, the goods shipped from overseas to France will be cut by almost half.
What about the 6th Army? Do French dare to let Germans enter?
Suddenly, Ferdinand had an idea, but seemed to have thought nothing. He knows that he is being scammed now, and he has also been born in parallel space-time, but he is too low to reach.
On the surface, Britain and France worked together to lead the Allies to defeat the Allies.
But in it, Ferdinand can be sure that from the outbreak of the World War to the present, the British have been playing soy sauce. In addition to blocking the German high seas fleet, he has served as the chief logistics officer of the Allies.
Otherwise, if there are millions of British troops against the Germans with the French, this war will definitely not last for more than four years!
I can't figure out what action the French will take to break the situation, but it does not prevent Bulgaria from continuing the plan by killing Romania and Russia together.
At that time, you can move forward and back. Even if the Germans really kill the French, and if Russia and Russia also kill the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the strengths of the two sides are still equal.
"Mr. Chief of Staff, are you ready?" Ferdinand asked with concern.
Imiya Dimitev said with confidence: "Your Majesty, please be assured! We have assembled 500,000 troops, and the Russians will also send 500,000 troops. Romania cannot stop our attack!
If nothing else, you can receive the news of Romania's demise within two months! "
Well, against a Romanian army of one million troops, Ferdinand could not imagine the possibility of failure.
Don't look at the fact that the Austro-Hungarian Empire has mobilized more than 4 million troops, but there are 1 million in Belgrade and Bulgaria, and nearly 3 million with the Russians. The mobile force in the hands of the Vienna government is already very small Already.
Although they also knew that after the fall of Romania, it was very bad for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Hungarian Great Plains were exposed to the iron hoof of Bulgaria and Russia. However, the help they can provide to Romania is still limited.
"That's good as planned, I'm waiting for your good news!" Ferdinand said with a smile
...
"Your Majesty, Britain, France, Russia, they all asked us to purchase aircraft technology. How can we respond to them?" Foreign Minister Metiev asked
Ferdinand thought about it and said, "Promise them, sell them the technology of our biplane bomber, you can trade in technology, you can also use supplies to offset it, but no cash!"
Although he also wanted to keep the technology secret ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But the technical content of the aircraft in this era is really not high, and the aircraft in Bulgaria is not the leading era. They can do it as long as they are willing to do it. It only takes a while. .
Now everyone is still an ally. Bulgaria has also bought technology from Britain and France before. No matter what kind of consideration they have, they finally sold it. Now Bulgaria cannot refuse their request!
Rather than refusing to stalemate everyone's relations, it would be better to take them into the pit with an open mind. Anyway, what they want to buy is bomber production technology.
The current active bombers in Bulgaria are biplanes, but the future direction of the aircraft is monoplanes!
But now is the era of war, the least valuable is money! Whether it is technology or materials, it is something that can be immediately turned into national power, but money is not the only thing!
