Vol 4 Chapter 81: East Line Change 1

Syria's fall has not caused much sensation in Bulgaria. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is a colony anyway. It is enough to lose it and recapture it.
It is even more important to land on the Asia Minor Peninsula and kill the Ottoman Empire. Strategically, the biggest threat to Bulgaria is the Ottoman Empire in the Asia Minor Peninsula.
Both sides are only blocked by a narrow strait. Many coastal cities, including Constantinople, are within the range of the Ottoman artillery, which has brought great trouble to Bulgaria's defense security.
Of course, this is just the opinion of ordinary people. In Ferdinand ’s view, with the development of science and technology, if the Asia Minor Peninsula cannot be settled, then there will be no national defense security at all in Bulgaria. Anyway, he does not think that there is any relaxation with the Ottoman may!
From the perspective of long-term development, if a country does not have sufficient territory, population, and resources, it is difficult to continue its development.
Ferdinand didn't want the empire he created in one hand, because of these problems, collapsed, and was eventually eliminated by this weak and powerful world.
While Ferdinand was planning for the future of Bulgaria, news that surprised him was coming.
"His Majesty, great changes have taken place on the eastern battlefield. The Russians have won the Winter Campaign, and the Allies are almost over!" Foreign Minister Metiev said excitedly.
Ferdinand's face changed greatly. If the Russians win then Bulgaria must speed up. Only with enough chips will it be possible to retain sufficient speaking power in the next international change.
"Where's the battle report? Why hasn't it come back yet?" Ferdinand asked in doubt.
Metiev thought for a moment and said, "Sir, this is the news that the Russians took the initiative to inform us. The detailed report of the war may come a little later.
According to the information disclosed by the Russians, during this winter offensive, their southwestern army not only broke through the Galician defense line of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but also wiped out an army on the German eastern line. They are expanding the results.
The Russians themselves estimated that the number of enemies they annihilated in this battle would not be less than two million, and the fighting is continuing.
However, due to the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian defense line, they are unlikely to be able to stop the Russian attack this time. Once the Austro-Hungarian Empire collapses, I am afraid that the Allies will not be able to support it! "
Ferdinand's face changed greatly, and the results of the Russians in this battle were incredible! This is also the battle where the belligerent parties have invested the most troops since the outbreak of the World War, and the most amazing one.
No one expected that on the eve of the Germans' reinforcements on the eastern front, the Russians would start with the strength and directly attack the Austro-Hungarian Empire, killing the main force of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in one fell swoop.
Now even if the Germans send troops to the eastern front, they may not be able to take the Russians, so now Bulgaria is pushing the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Ferdinand fell into deep contemplation, and thanks to his butterfly effect, Russia is now much better off than Russia in history!
Not only hasn't lost more than one million square kilometers of land as in history, it has also lost nearly five million troops, and it has already lost vitality.
Instead, it has been an active offensive party since the beginning of the war. Apart from this battle, the Russian casualties should be about 1.3 million.
Of course, the strength of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is now much better than in history. Even if this battle fails, it is stronger than the same period in history.
Soon Ferdinand responded, and the Russians seemed to have a good look in history, but that time was back in the light, but now it happened in the heyday of the Russians.
The influence will certainly not be the same. It is conceivable that the Russians' international influence will skyrocket, and internal contradictions will be suppressed because of the victory of the war. In the future, the situation in Russia will become confused.
"Little Carl summoned, and called the cabinet and the military to come to the meeting immediately!" Ferdinand said worriedly.
Although he did not think that the Allies would be finished so easily, the reality of the appearance of the European road roller was too amazing, and it simply defeated the main force of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Who can guarantee that the Russians will not redouble their efforts and defeat the German reinforcements in a rush? You must know that fur bears have sufficient strength advantages, and the sea-man tactics are still very powerful in this era.
As long as the front line needs, Nicholas II can arm millions of troops at any time and send it to the front line!
...
Ferdinand said: "Although the specifics of this battle are not yet known, from the public information of the Russians, they have already won the battle and they are still a major force that can change the direction of the world war. Win!
Discuss now what should we do next? Whether it is to work with Russia to kill the Austro-Hungarian Empire first, or to work with the Russians to kill the Ottoman Empire first, let's talk about our future long-term development in this relationship! "
The news of the Russian's victory was obviously shocked. After listening to Ferdinand's question, everyone reacted.
Army Secretary Popov blurted out subconsciously: "To attack the Asia Minor Peninsula immediately, the Ottoman Empire must be destroyed before the end of the World War!
This relates to the future living space of Bulgaria, and we cannot give up! "
His proposal has been endorsed by the military. Most of the benefits encircled by Bulgaria in this war are in the hands of the Ottoman Empire. If these cannot be taken before the end of the war, then in the future, if you want to obtain all of this by negotiation Flowers in the moon mirror in the water!
What's more, the performance of Mao Xiong this time has changed everyone's inherent impression on them. If the trophy is not immediately seized, if the future and the Russians turn their faces, how much can Bulgaria divide up the territory of the Ottoman Empire? This is a very serious problem!
Prime Minister Constantine said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, the current situation of the Allies will definitely require us to launch a comprehensive attack on the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This problem cannot be avoided.
It would be better now that I take the initiative to attack the Bosnia and Herzegovina region, and first take all the Balkans. As long as we fight with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they can't say anything more!
However, in this way, the military will be under great pressure to attack in both directions at the same time, I am afraid it is a bit difficult! "
Ferdinand has not yet stated his position, and Army Secretary Popov said aggressively: "Don't worry, we are fighting on two fronts, aren't they also fighting on two fronts?
Their pressure should be greater, especially the Austro-Hungarian Empire. They have just defeated in Galicia, and the bears are driving in. They have no ability to fight on two fronts at all!
And the Ottoman Empire was not much better. Now, when he stupidly entered Syria, he could not get rid of himself in a short time, and he fought with the Russians in the Caucasus.
Even if they have so many troops, what about weapons and ammunition? Depending on the strength of the Ottoman military industry, the weapons and ammunition in their hands can not support it for long!
Your Majesty, the war situation has changed, and the situation is getting more and more complicated. I request to go to the front line to direct the landing on the Asia Minor Peninsula to guarantee the killing of the Ottoman Empire within one year! "
Popov's words just ended, and the Minister of Defense Dante Kristof and the Minister of War Andrei Braskov jumped out to fight, even the Chief of the General Staff, Imia Dimitev. Eager to try, there is a lot of competition for the intention of the coach.
Had Petrov already been the Minister of the Navy, he might have to come out and fight.
There is no way. Everyone knows that the situation has changed. It is definitely necessary to fight in the large corps and still have to make a quick decision.
In this context, the veterans must be sent, who dares to send new ones? Commanding millions of troops to fight, who dares to be sloppy?
In addition to them, how many of the Bulgarian generals have commanded more than 200,000 troops?
In the face of several military bosses, Ferdinand can only comfort himself. It is better to have a battle than not. If everyone avoids the battle, Ferdinand should worry.
As for the coaching staff? There is no choice at all! One hundred and eighty army was delivered to one person, Ferdinand was not assured!
There were just two fronts formed, and the military chief plus the chief of staff was just four people, all of which were just right.
I saw Ferdinand waved his hand and said, "Okay, you all have a share, and you can't run one! Now you first determine the military input of the two sides according to the actual situation and prepare for the war. I only give you two days Time must give me a practical solution! "
...
The world is fickle, and according to Ferdinand's original plan, there was no need for a decisive battle in the Corps. At most, it was a battle of two or three hundred thousand, which broke up and blossomed.
It can effectively reduce the risk brought by the decisive battle of the Corps. Even if a certain battlefield fails, it will not affect the overall situation. It will only take a little longer.
This is also conducive to the advantage of the Bulgarian army in the military. Old empires such as the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires may have one or two military commanders who can defeat the sky, but in general, they are mainly lounge lunch bags. .
In terms of the quality of officers, the Bulgarian army has an absolute advantage. If multi-line blooms, this advantage will continue to magnify.
But now it's different. To end the war quickly, after landing in the Asia Minor Peninsula, you must take the Ottoman capital Ankara directly and force the Ottomans to decisive battle.
Even the Balkan battlefield, while occupying Bosnia and Herzegovina, must also be prepared to attack Vienna.
The home base of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is also very good. Many talents have made Ferdinand jealous. Once the details of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are captured, the power gap between Bulgaria and Britain and France can gradually be cleared!
Of course, this is the most ideal situation. It is easy to evacuate the machinery of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and it will be troublesome to this batch of talents. That is, the Ferdinand family has been operating in the Austro-Hungarian Empire for hundreds of years, otherwise there is no possibility of implementation!
In order to complete this strategy, it is inevitable that the cooperation of the ground snake is necessary; if they want to cooperate, at least they must see that the country is finished before they can buy it successfully.
Therefore, the strength of the Balkans must also be strong enough to solve the enemy in a short time and grab Vienna before the Russians.
Although the strategic goals have not changed, the implementation plan has become more troublesome, and the requirements for the coach are naturally different.
Ferdinand has no adventurous spirit, and the veteran can determine the battle that can be won. Why should he die and start a few newcomers?
It has been more than thirty years in this space-time, and now Ferdinand is not very interested in so-called historical celebrities.
The reality tells him that the so-called historical generals are just like that. These generals like Bulgaria are now unknown characters in history. They are not as prestigious as they are now known as famous generals?
Many people are not lacking in ability, what is missing is the opportunity for them to perform. This is also the origin of the saying "Making Heroes in a Troubled World"!
Of course, this is not to say that these historical celebrities are useless, at least in history, they have been proven to be talents, and the chances of success in cultivating ordinary people are much greater!
Therefore, in the field of science and technology, Ferdinand has always been training and digging in parallel, but in the army command, all have chosen to train themselves.
Anyway, in the modern war, the role of the general's individual ability is being weakened. No matter how good the enemy's military command ability is, as long as your ability passes the level without making mistakes, everyone can only honestly fight for strength.
This is why the Germans in the two world wars were defeated. If it is a famous historical player, Germany in the same period hangs on the world in terms of quality and quantity. Unfortunately, the ability of individuals cannot change the gap in national strength!
Why can Ferdinand conclude that the Allies will not end soon?
The reason is very simple ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The Russians have limited ammunition reserves. They just fought a conference war, do they not need to replenish?
Relying on the Russians' own industrial capabilities, coupled with that poor organizational ability, they can meet half the ammunition consumption of the front line, even if it is open!
What to do without weapons and ammunition? Could Nicholas II still be able to let soldiers attack with bayonet?
It will take at least two or three months for the Allies to replenish their consumption. At that time, the Allies will be almost relieved.
Of course, Bulgaria is now attacking suddenly, maybe it is to reject the ammunition support that the Russians may propose?
To a certain extent, Ferdinand is beginning to pit his teammates again, which has shattered the hopes of the Allies to end the war quickly!
Nicholas II, who was far from St. Petersburg, did not know that his dream had not yet begun, and Ferdinand had annihilated him in the cradle!
