Vol 4 Chapter 18: ,undercurrent

When Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire were torn apart, the situation in Europe was quietly changing.
The Germans have realized that with the establishment of the Four-Nation Agreement, they have become increasingly unable to control the situation in Europe.
The two brothers of Austria-Hungary and Italy are not so obedient, just like this land conservation war, the two brothers did not do their best, otherwise Bulgaria would definitely not start so soon!
"Allies", this is the first time since the reunification of Germany, I feel that I need allies so urgently!
In the age of Bismarck, Germany was allies all over Europe at that time. They could even use diplomatic means to isolate the French and the British, but I don't know when this changed!
...
In the Royal Palace in Berlin, the chief of staff is analyzing to Wilhelm II the ongoing land conservation war in the Near East.
"Your Majesty, Bulgaria is advancing quickly in the Aegean Sea. I am afraid that all the Ottoman islands will be lost soon!
Strategically speaking, the Ottoman Empire has already failed in this war, and they have not been able to take advantage of the island chain.
If they organize to resist from the beginning, they can hold the Bulgarians for at least one or two years. Obviously Bulgaria can't wait so long!
In order to end the war early, the Bulgarians had to go to the 6th Asia Minor Peninsula to fight them decisively. Compared with the war at sea, they had at least one battle on the 6th ground! "
William II frowned and said in a very unhappy mood: "So, the Ottomans are going to lose again this time? Could it be that the new Sixth Army we trained for them only has the power of World War I?"
The chief of staff replied affirmatively: "Yes! The new 6th Army of the Ottoman Empire is just a display, even if their soldiers received our training, they also changed their equipment.
But their senior officers are still a group of idiots. After our instructors left, except for a few troops, most of their military training was once again abandoned. We have reminded them of this, but it did not cause the Sudanese government. Attention.
If the Bulgarians hurriedly board 6, there will be only a limited number of 6 points. They can also use geographic and military advantages to bridge the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides!
But after the Bulgarians have obtained the Aegean waters, they can choose to board 6 o'clock at will, and it will be difficult for the Ottomans to defend themselves! "
William II said helplessly: "Well, don't worry about whether the Sudanese government can win this group of idiots, just treat them as defeated!
So who can tell me what will happen to the Ottoman Empire after this war? What impact will it have on the empire? "
The Minister of Foreign Affairs thought for a while and said: "The rule of the Sudanese government is already very unstable. Once a major defeat occurs again, the government may fall from power at any time!
After the downfall of the Sudanese government, the Turkish Youth Party is most likely to come to power. We have already contacted them. Their attitude towards the empire is still very friendly and will not affect the interests of the empire!
However, the Ottoman coup d'etat is likely to attract the intervention of the Allies, and even the Ottoman Empire will be divided by the Allies!
At least Bulgaria, which is at war with them, will definitely take action. Unless they find a way to contain them, the Ottoman Empire will be difficult this time! "
William II nodded and asked: "Then what should the empire do? Our investment in the Ottoman Empire is too great, especially the Baghdad Railway. It must be guaranteed not to be affected!"
After thinking about it, he said: "Your Majesty, if you just contain Bulgaria, there is still a way to do it!
After the Balkan War, Bulgaria's strong rise has caused strong anxiety among their neighbors.
And there are territorial disputes between them, but because Bulgaria is too strong, they have to endure it!
Once the main force of Bulgaria penetrates into Asia Minor peninsula, we will support it again, and it is very likely that they will move! "
William II said uncertainly: "Can this work? You know that Bulgaria's strength has already left them far behind. Even with our support, Romania and Greece alone are probably not their opponents?"
The Minister of Foreign Affairs reminded: "Your Majesty, and the Kingdom of Montenegro!"
That's right, the Black Mountain Kingdom on this plane is much stronger than their counterparts in parallel time and space history, with a population of over 1.2 million, and its combat effectiveness is not bad.
William II shook his head and said: "This probably needs the cooperation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and it is difficult for the lunatics in the Kingdom of Montenegro. Their relationship with the Russians is too deep!"
The minister added: "Your Majesty, the Russians are not so willing to rise to Bulgaria, but they are rising so fast that St. Petersburg has to pinch his nose to recognize it!
As long as we and the Austro-Hungarian Empire do something, the tsarist government will definitely cooperate! Anyway, our purpose is only to preserve the Ottoman Empire, by the way, hit Bulgaria!
As for the lunatics in the Black Mountain Kingdom? As long as there are enough benefits, it is not difficult to want them to turn back! Besides, in their eyes, is Albania still a part of them? "
The "lunatic" is a deep impression left by politicians around the world after the Kingdom of Montenegro previously supported the Serbian independence movement.
No way, normal people would not foolishly challenge the Austro-Hungarian Empire for Serbia! The strength gap between the two sides is really too big, and it is almost the same as looking for death!
...
A conspiracy against Bulgaria is brewing, but Ferdinand knows nothing!
It was not that he relaxed his vigilance, but that he never thought that the shot would be a German. It can only be said that Ferdinand was too heavily influenced by his previous life and ignored the German diplomatic methods, which was also very powerful at the time!
At this time, the naval battle outside Karaburun port also entered a fierce moment. Of course, a Constantinople was not an opponent of the Ottoman Navy, but with the addition of Harmony, the situation changed slightly.
Although the tonnage of the coastal defense battleship Harmony is not large, in the naval decisive battle, its combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of an armored cruiser!
With the addition of the Harmony, the pressure on the Constantinople was much less. Although it is still at a disadvantage, the officers and soldiers have adjusted their mentality and are able to aim and shoot. They are not as flustered as before and just want to shoot the shells. .
At this time, the quality of the Bulgarian navy's gunners has been displayed. Although there are only two ships and only a quarter of the opponent's artillery, the number of hits is indeed evenly matched.
Oh, this is also very important to the performance of the artillery. Harmony has already suffered three rounds, but none of them are critical. Of course, they also hit the enemy twice. The Ottoman Navy has another ironclad ship and begins to slow down again. Sank!
The Constantinople on the other side was even more miserable. It had suffered two shells before, and now it has received another one, which is considered to be more injured.
Achieved a good record, but Ahmed Pasha has no trace of joy on his face!
Without him, the firepower of the armored ship is too weak. In addition to the main gun that can cause a little damage to the opponent, the secondary gun is completely tickling the enemy; the enemy’s artillery is different, as long as the enemy’s main gun hits the hull. , It can be declared dead, even the secondary artillery is enough to make the railway ship hurt!
Now that the war has been fought, he has had two warships sunk, and one of the iron-clad ships was seriously injured, and two of them were slightly injured. Basically, as long as there is another one, these ships will be scrapped!
And the enemy? There were already a lot of shells, but they were all slightly injured, especially when the Harmony was hit by three shells, it also scratched a little, and the artillery and power system were not affected!
One of the guns of the Constantinople was hit and it was scrapped, but the problem is that people turned the hull, or is it still fighting? The serious injury is not there yet!
"General, the enemy's reinforcements are coming!" A soldier's exclamation woke up the pondering Ahmed Pasha.
But, can he retreat now? The reputation of the defeated general has been with him for a long time. If he is defeated again, the Sultan will also kill!
Ahmed Pasha pretended to be calm and said: "Send the order, UURead www.uukānshu.com immediately leaned on to meet the enemy in hand, and after killing the two warships in front of us, we will retreat!
He knew that the enemy's reinforcements had already appeared in sight and would arrive soon. The most correct way was to leave the injured three iron-clad ships broken and cover the main retreat.
But Ahmed Pasha did not dare to do this. In the Ottoman Empire, only the sunk warship can be considered a record. As for the damage to the enemy's warship, the Sudanese government does not believe it?
Therefore, for the sake of my own life, I rushed forward and killed the two warships in front of me, so that I could go back to the business!
As long as there is a record, the big deal is to spend money to get through the relationship and artificially create a big victory.
Even the last time the navy was defeated and Constantinople was lost, because of the results of the battle, under his efforts, he was just dismissed!
No matter how you fail this time, your political influence will be much smaller. As long as the past is dealt with in face, everything is easy to say!
The brave wins when meeting on a narrow road!
At this time, the Ottoman Navy was also desperate, but before it had time to rush up, another ironclad ship was severely damaged. If it is not rescued in time, it will sink soon!
At this time, Ahmed Pasha hated the tofu dregs project very much. He still remembers that it was one of the wounded warships that was hit by an enemy shell, and it was not the point, so he declared that it was finished! If there is no problem, there will be ghosts?
The morale of the Ottoman Navy, which had just been mentioned, fell to the bottom. Is this the beginning? Two ships have sunk, and one ship is about to sink. With three wounded ships, half of the warships are almost gone. How will this battle be fought?
