Vol 4 Chapter 77: , The Eastern Route

In fact, Ferdinand did not care about the agreement reached with Britain and France. The distribution of benefits ultimately depends on fists.
As long as Bulgaria actually takes over these places, these places will naturally be Bulgarian territory. Conversely, if Bulgaria does not have the strength to occupy these turf, then Britain and France will not mind dividing it up again.
What really satisfies Ferdinand is that the contradiction between Britain and France is much greater than he expected, which means that Bulgaria's diplomatic environment will be much better after the war.
After all, the French want to expand on the European Big 6, but the British do not want the French to grow bigger. In this regard, there are natural contradictions between the two sides that cannot be reconciled.
But it doesn't matter to Ferdinand. If the French are strong enough, they will expand as they like. Anyway, he has no idea about Western and Central Europe.
As for the unification of Europe, even Napoleon did not do things, Ferdinand does not believe that the current Gallic chicken can do it, the big 6 balance is left to the British to play!
Ferdinand did not know that under his butterfly effect, both Britain and France effectively imitated Bulgaria's intentions.
It is a pity that the British who are lonely overseas are destined to be a natural disadvantage in this regard. It is impossible to return to the European Big 6 now. They will send the Irish away at most. It is estimated that this is difficult to do!
The French are different. According to some activists, they have already planned to package the Germans directly, and France will directly annex Central Europe.
For these people's ideas, Ferdinand can only say that they are too naive. If the Germans were beaten half-failed, their vision still had a slight chance of realizing; if, as in history, the Germans still had military strength, they would surrender.
If the French dare to move and John Bull is backing another wave, the war will explode immediately. Can the Gaul chickens withstand it?
Of course, if the Gallic chickens are smart enough to bully the Italians, this problem does not seem to be a big problem. They have an absolute advantage in force.
Anyway, these have nothing to do with Ferdinand. The strength of a country is always in itself, not in the decline of its opponents. Of course, the Americans are an exception!
As long as you think about it, Ferdinand will be a headache for the large number of deserts in Bulgaria in the future. Is it necessary to formulate a century-old plan-planting trees?
Forget it, this problem will have a headache in the future, anyway, this will not be solved overnight!
...
The European Grand VI was still filled with gunpowder. After the conditions were negotiated, 33 infantry divisions and two artillery divisions were sent to strengthen France.
There is no doubt that these are the mercenary corps recruited before. Of course, Ferdinand is still very ethical. These troops were recruited before the outbreak of the World War. They have also fought against the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Romania, and the Kingdom of Montenegro. They have rich combat experience.
The fighting power is there, and I am not afraid of what Britain and France say. Anyway, for Britain and France, holding the Verdun line is the key. As long as the reinforcements have combat effectiveness, as for the difference between the Bulgarians and the bears, this is really not important!
After reducing the army of 500,000, it is natural to recruit another 500,000. Fortunately, enough cannon fodder has been prepared before, and this number can be quickly made up.
When Ferdinand sent troops to strengthen France, the Eastern Front also changed, and the Russians launched a winter offensive.
Due to Ferdinand's butterfly effect, the Russians set their target on the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the beginning of the war. They did not blindly attack East Prussia, and naturally there was no initial defeat.
Now that the French are about to be unable to withstand it, as a "European Gendarmerie" bear, it is natural to have strength. According to the information from Russia, Ferdinand knew that the commander of the Russian Southwest Front Army Brusilov was in charge of the battle. Admiral.
He also has an amazing identity-the founder of the Blitz, and historically Brusilov commanded the Russian army to win the Brusilov offensive.
It's just that the time of Brusilov's offensive in history was summer, and now the time of explosion is winter.
However, the winter in Germany and Austria is a piece of cake for bears. Compared with their domestic counterparts, this can be regarded as the warmth of spring. Of course, the premise is that the Russians have the concept of spring in their hearts!
But Mao Xiong is Mao Xiong in the end. They have three fronts on the eastern front, namely the Southwest Front, the Western Front, and the North Front. This time they attacked Germany and Austria at the same time.
Fully let the whole world see what is the human sea tactics, the entire Eastern Front battlefield, more than 4.8 million Russian troops, launched an attack at the same time.
Seeing Ferdinand is dizzy, a bit of military common sense can't wait to play like this! He wanted to greet Russia’s strategy-making staff. Isn’t his mind flooded? If so many troops attack at the same time, have they considered logistics?
He couldn't care about the bad things of the Russians, but he still ordered to pay close attention to the battle. If the Russians make a big news and make a breakthrough across the board, then Bulgaria will stab Austria-Hungary again to grab the spoils!
Of course, he thinks the Russians are more likely to fight a big defeat! Now the momentum is getting bigger, the German reinforcements have also come, and the trouble has also come. The difference in strength is not worth relying on Brusilov alone!
In any case, the Russians' momentum was created, and no one knows what the outcome will be.
Of course, for the French, the Russians did a very good job this time. At least the Germans had to deploy troops to reinforce the Eastern Front.
Otherwise, just relying on their three to four hundred thousand defenders and the more than three million troops of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it would be unreliable to look at the nearly five million gray animals!
...
When he received the information that the Germans deployed troops to reinforce the Eastern Front, Ferdinand began to mourn for the Russians. If you don't die, you won't die!
Anyway, after the German army reinforces the eastern front, it must have a record. Although Bulgaria's Balkan defense line is not as powerful as Verdun, it can't stand their thickness!
According to Ferdinand's idea, a few hills are basically a line of defense. Although it is not so reliable, delaying time is the best choice.
Except for a limited number of places that must be focused on defense, other places are basically large lines of defense piled up by a series of small lines of defense.
The Austro-Hungarian army had already learned this, and finally broke the position with a surprise attack. The Bulgarian army immediately reacted and regained the position.
If you want to drive straight ahead, you can only fight all the way. After a few fights, the Austro-Hungarian Empire gave up its plan to fight Bulgaria.
Obviously, what the Germans wanted was a decisive battle, and a battle of attrition with Bulgaria was very uneconomical. They could not achieve the desired result and could not solve the crisis on the Eastern Front.
Then the Eastern European plains are the best breakthrough, and only in the plains can the German army be able to triumph quickly. Moreover, the Germans must also solve the main force of the Russian army, so that their eastern front will be safe.
...
In St. Petersburg, Nicholas II is still fascinatingly pointing in the Hermitage.
It has been almost a year since the World War broke out, and so far the Russian army has not come up with impressive results, which makes him very dissatisfied.
Due to Ferdinand's butterfly effect, with the rise of Bulgaria, the Austro-Hungarian Empire faced two powerful opponents at the same time, and they would naturally not be foolish to take the initiative.
The result was that the Austro-Hungarian Empire became an ostrich and frankly played a battle of positions. The Mao Xiong couldn't help them for a while, so naturally he didn't have a record of shots.
However, the French resisted the German attack. Although they were at a disadvantage, they still won each other's battle with the Germans. The British also locked up the German navy, and the Sixth Army was still supporting the French; even Bulgaria This former little brother also got mixed up, first overturned the Italian navy, then almost unified the Balkans, and is still preparing to attack the Ottoman Empire.
This is still unbearable for the arrogant Nicholas II. You can never show off their success in defeating the Ottomans in the Caucasus, right?
He still can't afford to lose that person, and now it's Russia's turn to explode. After so long of preparation, the Russian army has finally gathered weapons and ammunition to explode!
Of course, the most important thing is the distribution of benefits after the war. Now that the Russian Empire cannot produce a convincing record, why should the most delicious cake be divided up?
We must know that after the "Japanese-Russian War", the status of the Russian Empire in Europe has dropped significantly. Many people think that the "European Gendarmerie" is old!
This is not good news, everyone knows that you can retire when you are old!
After the outbreak of the World War, the performance of the Russian army can only be very average. With the support of its peers, it can also be described as bad.
The name is not true!
This is undoubtedly disastrous for the tsarist government. Once European countries think that the strength of the Russian empire is "not true to its name", then not only do not think about establishing a "Slavic empire", even the distribution of benefits after the war will not How much power do they have!
It can be said that the great powers are very realistic. Before the outbreak of the World War, Bulgaria still had the lowest voice among the great powers.
But with the outbreak of the World War, Bulgaria’s strength has been recognized by the outside world, and its influence in the Allied countries has greatly increased. On the contrary, the Russian influence is declining.
"Your Majesty, our best time to attack has been missed. Now the German reinforcements are strengthening the Eastern Front. Our strategic goal of alleviating the French military pressure has been achieved. There is no need to continue this war!" Little Nikolai Nikolaevich Romanov proposed
According to his idea, since the Germans have been mobilized and the French crisis has been temporarily lifted, there is no need to fight this war again.
Of course this is only from the military perspective, but it is completely different in politics!
In the military, it is the best policy to let the Germans continuously mobilize on the east and west fronts, and finally drag the Germans down.
But politically, the Russian Empire now needs a victory, and it is a victory that amazes the world!
Xiang smiled and retorted: "Mr. Chief of the General Staff, if it is purely military, there is no problem with your opinion.
But politically, the Russian Empire has to fight now, which has a bearing on our position in the Allied Powers and also on the distribution of interests in the future.
If we stop our attack this time and turn to defense on the spot, the century-old reputation of the Russian Empire will be destroyed! "
The Minister of the Sixth Army, Alexei Andreevich Bolivanov sneered and said: "Mr. Xiang, the prestige is played out. We will not be completely sure of victory if we launch an all-out attack now!
If the frontline is defeated, the consequences will be even more serious. Rather than this, it is better to reduce the scale of the war and increase the confidence of victory!
I don't think there is a need for the three fronts to attack at the same time. Two fronts feint, and one front is the main attack. Even if there is any change, it is in our grasp!
Furthermore, we must take into account the logistics. The frontline troops only have one and a half months of stockpiles of combat materials. Once this time has passed, they need to be transported in the rear.
And our domestic material reserves are also very limited. It is almost impossible to support the battle of nearly five million troops at the same time!
What's more, even if the government has the means to gather these supplies, it will not be able to complete this huge transportation task with our poor traffic conditions! "
Compared with the same period in history, the Russians in this time and space have much better lives. Due to the existence of Bulgaria, their external communication lines have not been completely cut off.
At the same time, there is no PK with the Germans, and their army losses are not as heavy as they have been in history.
At least in history, it has not happened that a few Russian soldiers have only one rifle. Although it was still equipped with a wide variety of equipment, he still managed to have a rifle in his hand, and weapons and ammunition were barely available.
This gave the Tsarist government a illusion and felt good about itself. They believed that as long as the Russian Empire could take out the German-Austrian coalition forces on the eastern front.
As long as this battle is won, then this war will be over. As the biggest hero, the Russian Empire is naturally qualified to get the biggest cake.
Of course, it is not ruled out that someone has received money from Britain and France. After all, in order to promote this Russian attack, Britain and France have also spent a lot of money, and the research costs are naturally indispensable.
The Foreign Secretary suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Britain and France have promised that as long as we launch this attack, they are willing to bear all the expenses.
As for the shortage of supplies that the Minister of the Sixth Army is worried about, the Allied Powers can also provide it. We have reached an agreement with Bulgaria, they will coordinate the capacity to ensure our material supply! "
Nicholas II, who had been shaken, was tempted again. If Britain and France could bear all the expenses and be responsible for the supply of strategic materials, then fighting this war would not be a big deal.
In his view, as long as these problems are resolved, the possibility of war failure has been minimized. The big deal is to consume human lives and allies. UU reading www.uukanshu.com, anyway, the most indispensable thing in Russia is gray cattle.
Nicholas II asked unreasonably: "Can the British and French promises be fulfilled? The materials needed to support five million troops are not a few. How can they guarantee transportation?"
The Minister of Foreign Affairs said calmly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that we have negotiated with Bulgaria. If the British and French supplies are not available in the short term, they can advance part of it."
Well, Ferdinand didn't even know, at what time he had agreed to advance strategic materials for Britain and France.
However, there are not too many things to deceive from the top and bottom in the tsarist government. Now their main purpose is to deceive Nicholas II to launch a full-scale offensive against Germany and Austria. Britain and France will take care of some minor details!
Nicholas II nodded with satisfaction and asked: "If Britain and France can do what they promised, can we attack?"
The 6th Army Minister Alexei Andreevich Bolivanov thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I still recommend reducing the scale of the war..."
Nicholas II said dissatisfiedly: "Enough is enough. The difficulties you mentioned have been solved. Can we not launch a full-scale attack?
We must know that ending this war as soon as possible and getting the spoils we want is the top priority!
Don't you know how much damage this war has brought to the Russian Empire?
Almost all of our international commercial trade has ceased. If the war continues, our domestic economy is about to collapse! "
Obviously, Nicholas II was not an idiot, but knew some domestic conditions. The people of the Russian Empire are not living well now, and the living standards of everyone affected by the war have dropped drastically!
