Vol 4 Chapter 81: , East Line Change 1

The fall of Syria did not cause much sensation in Bulgaria. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is a colony anyway, which can be retaken after being lost.
It’s better to quickly climb the 6th Asia Minor Peninsula, and it’s more important to kill the Ottoman Empire. Strategically speaking, the biggest threat to Bulgaria is the Ottoman Empire on the Peninsula of Asia Minor.
The two sides are only blocked by a narrow strait. Many coastal cities, including Constantinople, are within the range of Ottoman artillery, which has brought great trouble to Bulgaria's national defense and security.
Of course, this is just the opinion of ordinary people. In Ferdinand’s view, with the development of science and technology, if Asia Minor cannot be dealt with, then there will be no national defense security in Bulgaria as a whole. Anyway, he does not think there is any easing of the Ottoman may!
From a long-term development perspective, if a country does not have enough territory, population, and resources, it will be difficult to continue its development.
Ferdinand didn't want the empire he created by himself to collapse because of these problems, and finally be eliminated by this world of the weak.
While Ferdinand was planning for the future of Bulgaria, a news that surprised him came.
"Your Majesty, great changes have taken place on the Eastern Front. The Russians win the Winter Battle, and the Allies will be over!" Foreign Minister Metjeev said excitedly
Ferdinand's face changed drastically. If the Russians win, then Bulgaria must speed up. Only by getting enough chips can it be possible to retain enough voice in the next international changes.
"What about the battle report? Why hasn't it been sent back?" Ferdinand asked suspiciously
Metzhev thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, this is the news that the Russians took the initiative to inform us. The detailed battle report may arrive a little later.
According to the information disclosed by the Russians, in this winter offensive, their southwest front army not only broke through the Austro-Hungarian Galician line of defense, but also annihilated a German army on the eastern front. They are expanding their results.
The Russians themselves estimated that their number of annihilated enemies in this battle would not be less than two million, and the battle continues now.
However, due to the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire’s defenses, it may be difficult for them to block 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 drastically, and the Russians' achievements in this battle were incredible! This was also the battle in which the two warring parties invested the most troops since the outbreak of the World War, and the most astonishing result achieved.
No one thought that on the eve of the Germans' reinforcement of the Eastern Front, the Russians would first attack the Austro-Hungarian Empire and kill the main force of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in one fell swoop.
Now even if the Germans increase their troops on the Eastern Front, they may not be able to do anything to the Russians. So now, if Bulgaria pushes the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it will be finished?
Ferdinand fell into deep contemplation. Because of his butterfly effect, Russia now has a much better life than Russia in history!
Not only has it not lost more than one million square kilometers of land as in history, but it has also lost nearly five million troops, and has been greatly injured.
On the contrary, since the beginning of the war, it has always been the active offensive side. Apart from this battle, the casualties of the Russians should be around 1.3 million.
Of course, the strength of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is now much better than what has to be preserved in history. Even if this battle fails, it is stronger than the same period in history.
Soon Ferdinand reacted. In history, the Russians seemed to have gained a lot, but it was a time to come back, and now they were born in the heyday of the Russians.
The resulting influence will certainly not be the same. It is conceivable that the Russians’ international influence will increase sharply, and internal conflicts will also be suppressed due to the victory of the war. The future situation in Russia will become complicated and confusing.
"Little Carl will pass the order and call the cabinet and the military to come to the meeting immediately!" Ferdinand said worriedly.
Although he didn't think the Allies would be finished so easily, the appearance of the European road rollers this time was so amazing that they simply defeated the main force of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Who can guarantee that the Russians will not make persistent efforts and defeat the German reinforcements in one go? You must know that Mao Xiong has sufficient strength, and the human sea tactics are still very powerful in this era.
As long as the frontline needs, Nicholas II can arm millions of troops at any time and send them to the frontline!
...
Ferdinand said: "Although the specific situation of this battle is not known yet, from the news that the Russians took the initiative to disclose, they have already won the battle and it is still a major event that can change the course of the world war. Win!
Now discuss what we should do next? Whether to join forces with Russia to kill the Austro-Hungarian Empire first, or to join hands with the Russians to kill the Ottoman Empire first, this is related to our future long-term development, let's talk about it! "
The news of the Russians' complete victory obviously stunned everyone. After hearing Ferdinand's question, everyone reacted.
The 6th Army Minister Popov blurted out subconsciously: "To attack Asia Minor immediately, we must destroy the Ottoman Empire before the end of the world war!
This is related to the living space of Bulgaria in the future, and we cannot give up! "
His proposal has always been recognized by the military. Most of the interests delineated by Bulgaria in this war are in the hands of the Ottoman Empire. If these cannot be obtained before the end of the war, then in the future, they want to negotiate to obtain all this. Flowers in the mirror in the water!
More importantly, Teddy Bear's performance this time changed everyone's inherent impression of them. If you don’t the spoils right away, if the future turns your face with the Russians, how much more can Bulgaria divide the territory of the Ottoman Empire? This is a very serious problem!
Prime Minister Constantine hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, the current situation is that the Allied Powers will definitely require us to launch an all-out attack on the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This problem cannot be avoided.
Why don't I take the initiative to attack Bosnia and Herzegovina and get all the Balkans first. As long as we fight the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they can't say anything!
But this way, the pressure on the military will increase, and it might be difficult to attack in two directions at the same time! "
Ferdinand has not yet expressed his position, but Popov, Minister of the Sixth Army, said domineeringly: "Don't worry, we are fighting on two fronts, aren't the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire also fighting on two fronts?
Their pressure should be greater, especially the Austro-Hungarian Empire. They just lost the battle in Galicia, and the bears are driving in. They simply don't have the ability to fight on two fronts!
And the Ottoman Empire is not much better, now it stupidly stepped into Syria, and was unable to get out of it in a short time, and fought fiercely with the Russians in the Caucasus.
Even if they have so many troops, what about weapons and ammunition? Based on the strength of the Ottoman military industry, the weapons and ammunition in their hands cannot last long!
Your Majesty, now the battle situation has changed, and the situation is getting more and more complicated. I request to go to the front to command the battle on the 6th Asia Minor Peninsula and ensure that the Ottoman Empire is killed within a year! "
Just after Popov’s words were over, Secretary of Defense Dante Christophe and Secretary of War Andrei Braskoff all jumped out to ask for a fight, and even Chief of Staff Imya Dimitev was there. I am eager to try, with great intentions to compete for the coach.
If it wasn't for Petrov who was already the Minister of the Navy, maybe he would also come out to fight.
There is no way, everyone knows that the situation has changed now, and it must be a large corps fighting, and a decisive battle.
Under this background, it must be sent for veterans. Who would dare to send newcomers to the job? Commanding millions of troops to fight, who dares to be sloppy?
In addition to these few of them, how many of the generals in Bulgaria have commanded battles of more than 200,000 troops?
In the face of several military leaders' petitions, Ferdinand can only comfort himself. It is better to have petitions than none. If everyone avoids war, Ferdinand should be worried.
As for the coaches? There is no choice at all! Ferdinand is not at ease when the one hundred and eighty army is handed over to one person!
It happened to form two front armies, the chief military officer and chief of staff exactly four, and it was just right to dispatch all of them.
I saw Ferdinand waved his hand and said: "Okay, you all have a share, none of them can run away! Now you first determine the input of the two fronts based on the actual situation, and prepare for the war. I only give you two days. Time, I must come up with a practical plan!"
...
The world is impermanent. According to Ferdinand's original plan, there is no need for a large corps decisive battle. The maximum is two or three hundred thousand battles.
It can effectively reduce the risks brought by the decisive battle of the large corps. Even if a certain battlefield is defeated, it will not affect the overall situation, but it will take a little longer.
This is also conducive to the advantage of the Bulgarian army in terms of officers. The old empires like the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire may have one or two figures who can command the sky, but in general they are still dominated by the lounge. .
In terms of the quality of officers, the Bulgarian army has an absolute advantage. If multiple lines bloom, this advantage will continue to grow.
But now it’s different. The war is about to end. After the 6th Asia Minor peninsula, we must go straight to Ankara, the capital of the Ottomans, and force the Ottomans to fight decisively.
Even the Balkan battlefield, while occupying Bosnia and Herzegovina, must be prepared to attack Vienna.
The family background of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is also very good. There are many talents that make Ferdinand greedy. Once the heritage of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is captured, the power gap between Bulgaria and Britain and France can be gradually wiped out!
Of course, this is the ideal situation. It is easy to evacuate the machinery of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and it is troublesome to these 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!
To complete this strategy, the cooperation of the local snakes must be indispensable; if they want their cooperation, they must at least let them see that the country is finished before they can successfully buy it.
Therefore, the strength of the Balkan Front must also be strong enough to solve the enemy in a short time and occupy Vienna before the Russians.
Although the strategic goal has not changed, the implementation of the plan has become more troublesome, and the requirements for the coach are naturally different.
Ferdinand has no adventurous spirit. With a veteran, you can determine a battle that can be won. Why do you have to die and use a few newcomers?
It has been more than 30 years since he came to this time and space, and now Ferdinand is not very interested in the so-called historical celebrities.
Reality tells him that the so-called famous historical generals are just like that. Now these generals in Bulgaria are unknown figures in history. They are not as famous and considered by the outside world as famous generals?
Many people do not lack ability, what they lack is to give them the opportunity to perform. This is also the origin of the saying "Heroes are made in troubled times"!
Of course, this is not to say that these historical celebrities are useless. At least in history, UU reading www.uukanshu.com has proven that they are all talents, and they have a much higher chance of cultivating success than ordinary people!
Therefore, in the field of science and technology, Ferdinand has always been training and digging in parallel, but in military command, all have chosen to train by themselves.
Anyway, in modern wars, the role of generals' personal capabilities is being weakened. No matter how great the enemy's military command ability is, as long as you pass the test without making mistakes, everyone can only fight for strength honestly.
This is why the Germans were defeated in the two world wars. If you talk about famous historical figures, Germany at the same time will beat the whole world in terms of quality and quantity. It is a pity that individual abilities cannot change the gap in national power!
Why can Ferdinand conclude that the Allies will not be finished immediately?
The reason is simple. The Russians have limited ammunition reserves. They just fought a general battle. Don't they need to supplement it?
With the Russians' own industrial ability, coupled with the poor organizational ability, they can meet half of the ammunition consumption on the front line, even if it is broken!
What if there is no weapon or ammunition? Could it be that Nicholas II could still let the soldiers attack with bayonets?
It will be at least two to three months before the Allied Powers make up for their consumption, and the Allied Powers will almost be relieved by then.
Of course, Bulgaria’s sudden attack now is not because it rejects the ammunition support that the Russians may offer?
To a certain extent, Ferdinand is starting to pit his teammates again, dashing the hope of the Allied nations to end the war soon!
Nicholas II, who was far away in St. Petersburg, didn't know that his dreams had not yet begun, but Ferdinand had already pinched him in the cradle!
