Fu Wushuang will never come alone to misfortune!
When the meeting was about to end, the quartermaster spoke: "My generals, our material reserves have fallen drastically, and domestic replenishment will not keep up with consumption! If the intensity of the war continues like this, we will run out of ammunition before next month. !"
Suborovovich's face changed drastically. He just noticed that the offense was blocked before, but he didn't expect the materials to be consumed so quickly! Subconsciously asked: "Isn't there a two-month reserve? How could it be consumed so quickly?"
The quartermaster smiled bitterly and said: "We underestimated the consumption of ammunition, based on the consumption of the last war, which increased by 20% as reserves! But due to funding problems, ours only completed 8% of the plan. Ten! The actual consumption of ammunition now exceeds twice the planned amount!"
Everyone's complexion changed drastically, what is really afraid of! Before, everyone was busy fighting and didn't have the energy to care about the consumption of ammunition. After only a few days of fighting, the logistics couldn't keep up!
Suborovovich's face was sullen, and he said fiercely: "No matter what method you use, you must ensure the supply of materials on the front line! The war has just begun, and the materials will not be available so soon? What is your logistics department doing? Got it?"
The quartermaster said with a grieved expression: "General Subolovvić, this is impossible! You probably have the ammunition reserves in Serbia!
This is the list of ammunition received in recent days, you can all look at it! The ammunition produced by the domestic arsenal in one month is not as much as you can shoot out in one day!
The current weapons and ammunition are basically imported from abroad. The cost of buying ammunition in our Nis war zone alone is as high as tens of thousands of pounds a day!
If other regions are added, the daily ammunition expenditure now exceeds 100,000 pounds!
If the consumption of other materials is added, the daily war expenditure will now be even greater! Everyone can calculate this account, anyway, even if I am shot now, there is nothing I can do! "
After hearing the quartermaster's helpless words, Suborovovich choked on the spot! He took the list and looked at it carefully, the more he looked back, his face became greener!
The consumption of ammunition is really amazing, completely beyond his expectation! The consumption of millions of bullets and thousands of shells every day has exceeded the limit of logistical supply!
At this rate of consumption, the Serbian army will have to take bayonet into battle in half a month!
Suborovovich rubbed his forehead. As the frontline commander, he considered not only the Niš area, but also the overall situation!
Niš City, as the important town of Serbia’s southern Xinjiang, has more than six levels of strategic materials gathered here! Now the materials here cannot support the war consumption, so other areas may be even worse!
He asked coldly: "Have you reported to the country?"
The quartermaster said honestly: "I reported it two days ago, but the country believes that as long as this route of enemy troops is wiped out, our ammunition consumption will drop!"
Suborovovich stared at the quartermaster, and asked coldly, "Why didn't you report to me in advance?"
The quartermaster said in a puzzled manner: "The amount of ammunition that the army receives every day has been sorted into documents and sent to you!"
Suborovovich was silent. I can’t blame the quartermaster for this. I am busy with the war every day, so how can I take care of any documents!
After thinking for a while, he said in a tone that cannot be rejected: "If this is the case, all the troops in the future will start to save bullets. From now on, the supply of ammunition in the Quartermaster Department will be limited! I will try my best to urge the country to find a way, but it will take time. Even if imported from abroad, it will take more than a month at the earliest! No matter what..."
……
The Minister of War in Belgrade is now on the verge of collapse! The war has just begun, and the front-line troops are reaching out for supplies from them!
There is also a bigger appetite than the other, Ivan Ritchie on the southwest line; the main force of Subolovich in the Niš area; the southeast line has not reached out, but the minister of war would rather they also reach out!
No matter how it is, it is better than annihilating the entire army. Although there are still troops on the southeast front line, the Minister of War knows that it is out of the question!
With the letter for help, the Minister of War found the Prime Minister again. Before he could speak, the Prime Minister asked first: "Did the frontline have defeated the war again, or where did the supplies go?"
The Minister of War smiled bitterly: "Commander Niš, Suborovovich is urging supplies and reinforcements!"
The prime minister glanced roughly at the document, and after a moment of silence, he said: "This matter is very difficult! Our reserves have been exhausted, and now the main materials are imported from the Austro-Hungarian Empire!
told General Suborovovich that if he can eat the Bulgarian in front of him, then even if it is smashing the pot and selling iron, I will get it for him! "
The Minister of War asked in confusion: "But your Prime Minister, it is impossible for us to take out one hundred and fifty artillery pieces and fifty thousand troops to reinforce it?"
The Prime Minister explained coldly: "Of course I can't get it, let alone artillery and the army. Even if it is the ammunition, we can't get it in a short time!"
The Minister of War looked blank, looking at the Prime Minister at a loss, hoping to get an explanation!
The Prime Minister sighed and said: "It's very simple. In the current situation, we want to have a decent end. We must perform on the battlefield! In the current situation, in addition to the Niš area still having an advantage and hope to break the situation, we still Are there other options?
As long as Suborovovich can win in the Niš area, all the troops that have retreated from the southeast and southwest will be assigned to him, and then the three divisions just formed will be sent over, not to mention fifty thousand, even ten. Ten thousand troops are there!
Then, with the power of a big victory, negotiate with the Bulgarians and get a decent ending! "
The Minister of War asked with some horror: "Don’t we have any other options? Once we have won in Niš, we will immediately send troops to the southeast and cut off the back of this partial division. We have a great chance to win. This war!"
The Prime Minister said coldly: "All of this is based on assumptions! Bulgarians are not stupid, would they not mobilize the whole country??
Or simply don't fight with us at all, just consume us directly, every day is small and small, and it doesn't take long. A few months can drag us to death!
no solution anymore! The money consumed every day is huge. In order to raise funds, even the currency reserves are used. If the war is not ended within this month, we will not be able to support it at all!
And another Bulgarian division has broken through the southeast defense line. Their goal is still uncertain, so they have to guard against it!
If they are bolder, don't care about logistics supplies, and choose one of Kragujevac and Belgrade, what shall we do? "
