Vol 4 Chapter 83: ,ready

"Your Majesty, please have a look at the deployment of our troops in the Balkans and the Asia Minor Theater." The Chief of Staff said while submitting a plan to Ferdinand.
Ferdinand took the plan and looked at it seriously. Now he is no longer the military novice he used to be. Perhaps he is not at the level of command and combat, but he can still make a preliminary judgment on the forces required for a battle. Arrived.
Bulgaria has formed two fronts before, including the North when it attacked Romania, and the Western front when it attacked Belgrade.
Long ago, the General Staff had a plan to form two more front forces, namely, the formation of the southwest front army to attack Bosnia and Herzegovina and the southeast front army to attack the Asia Minor Peninsula. Due to the needs of the battlefield, the Southwest Front and the Western Front need to merge to form the Balkan Front in order to launch a full-scale offensive against the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and even the North Front may merge into the Balkan Front when necessary.
Of course, this was the previous plan. Now that the Allies have stabilized the situation, there is no need for Bulgaria to join in the excitement.
Ferdinand has always tried his best to avoid fighting on the two fronts. Now that the Allies have withstood the Russian offensive, the Balkan strategy will naturally be postponed. Anyway, the Austro-Hungarian Empire has no time to find the bad luck of Bulgaria at this time.
Therefore, the deployment of troops on the Balkans will naturally change. For national defense security considerations, the General Staff has decided to set up another headquarters above the southwest, west, and north front armies.
The original plan of the Balkan Front Army was cancelled. Now Bulgaria’s four major front forces are deployed as follows:
The Western Front: 12 infantry divisions, 2 cavalry divisions, 4 heavy artillery brigades, 1 engineer division, with a total strength of about 226,000.
Northern Front Army: 15 infantry divisions, 1 cavalry division, 8 heavy artillery brigades, 2 engineering divisions, with a total strength of about 318,000.
Southwest Front Army: 9 infantry divisions, 1 cavalry division, 3 heavy artillery brigades, 2 engineering divisions, with a total strength of about 194,000.
Southeast Front Army: 40 infantry divisions, 3 cavalry brigades, 8 heavy artillery brigades, 2 engineer divisions, with a total strength of about 727,000.
In addition, Bulgaria has 51,000 troops on Sicily and 68,000 troops in southern Italy.
At the same time, there are 46,000 troops in the Libyan colonies, 128,000 troops in Palestine, 24,000 troops in Jordan, and 78,000 troops to help defend the Suez Canal.
In addition to the 50,000 troops in France and the domestic reserve of 560,000, Bulgaria has now mobilized 2.92 million troops and it is about to break the three million mark.
Ferdinand now had to admire his foresight. First he brought two or three million young men from Mao Xiong, and then asked the British for more than six hundred thousand assan, otherwise he would only have a liver blow.
There is no doubt that the Ottoman Empire cannot be dealt with by the more than 700,000 troops alone, even with the more than 200,000 troops on the colony side!
Prior to this, Ferdinand had already done diplomatic efforts. The Teddy Bear will also attack the Ottoman Empire in the Caucasus, and most of the cannon fodder of this group of Asan, Ferdinand will also be sent to Asia Minor, and the staff will have the confidence to fight the Ottoman Empire.
However, in Ferdinand's view, there still seems to be some lack of troops. Bulgaria’s troops in the battle for the destruction of the country are no more than 1,600,700, and nearly half of them are scum with a combat power equal to 5. In addition to the hundreds of millions of Russian troops, it will not be only two hundred. More than ten thousand.
Ferdinand asked suspiciously: "If there are only these forces, defeating the Ottomans is no problem, even if it is to conquer Ankara, it is not a problem, but if you want to destroy the Ottoman Empire, I am afraid it is not enough?"
As a traverser, Ferdinand knew that Bulgaria had easily defeated the Ottoman Empire the first two times, not because Bulgaria was better than them, but mainly because the Osman government was too corrupt.
Although the ruling Turkish Al-Shabaab Party is still politically immature, it is still much stronger than the previous government, otherwise the two theaters of Caucasus and Syria would have dragged them to death.
The Chief of General Staff said with confidence: "Your Majesty, the Ottomans have fought wars in the Caucasus and Syria in more than a year since the war, which has greatly consumed their national power.
With the industrial strength of the Ottoman Empire, their military production simply couldn't keep up with the consumption on the battlefield. After more than a year of fighting, their strategic material reserves have been consumed a lot.
When we moved to the 6th battle, their army only had combat effectiveness at the beginning. After they did not have enough ammunition to replenish them, the war was almost over. "
Ferdinand nodded, having to admit that he was influenced by the notions of later generations. In history, the Ottomans were able to persist until the end of the world war, but they did not receive the aid of weapons and ammunition from the Allies.
But because of his butterfly effect, this time and space at the beginning of the war broke out, and the native chickens lost the support of the allies, and they are now only strong in the outside world.
Once the supply of weapons and ammunition is not available, this army of more than three million yuan will be abolished. Refer to the Russians for this point. In the later period, several people had a rifle.
The industrial strength of the native chickens is less than one-tenth that of the Russians. Why can they guarantee the supply of weapons and ammunition?
...
Finally, Ferdinand declared:
Appointed General Popov, former Minister of the Sixth Army, as the commander of the Southeast Front Army;
Appointed the former Secretary of War Admiral Andrei Blaskoff as Chief of Staff of the Southeast Front Army;
Appointment of Defense Secretary General Dante Christophe as the commander of the Balkan Regional Command;
The chief of the general staff, Admiral Imya Dimityev, was appointed concurrently as the chief of staff of the Balkan Regional Command.
Obviously now the Balkan Theater Command is still an empty shell. Before the full-scale offensive is launched, the following three fronts are responsible for the defense of the troops themselves. This command cannot be effective yet, otherwise Ferdinand will not May let them continue to hold their current positions concurrently.
...
The Syrian region has now become a on earth, cities have become ruins, and villages have begun to fall into disuse.
The atrocities of the Ottomans are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Those close to Palestine and Jordan are okay. After learning the news, Sa Yazi ran away.
Ferdinand, who was prepared for a long time, naturally established refugee camps in Jordan and Palestine to receive refugees.
Major General Vicky Clinton, then the garrison commander of the Middle East theater, received domestic orders and directly started to recruit cannon fodder troops on the grounds of preventing the Ottoman army from attacking.
The standard is very simple, directly in accordance with Bulgaria's abnormal military service law, in the refugee camp. Anyway, most of the people who can run over are young and strong, and the old, weak, sick and disabled are almost finished on the way to escape.
Cannon fodder does not need much fighting power. The main role of recruiting them to join the army is not to expect them to defeat the Ottomans. The more important thing is to let them avenge their lives~~
Forced conscription naturally does not exist, Ferdinand is still very ethical, anyway, there are ways to let them volunteer to join the army.
For example, to encourage them to avenge the Ottomans, to rescue relatives and friends who have not yet run out, there must be survivors now, not necessarily after a long time.
As long as a male of the right age does not join the army, the colonial government will not give him relief food. Anyway, if you don’t enlist in the army, just go mining, and there is no other job to find in Palestine.
Mines are not easy to dig. Fortunately, the dangers are not to be mentioned. The key is that the contract period is still ten years and they have no labor law protection.
...
In the Middle East Theater Defense Command, a young officer reported: "General, this is the information of the newly recruited colonial troops. As of now, the forty divisions we plan to recruit have all been full.
Including 31 Greek divisions, and nine Romanian divisions. "
Major General Vicky Clinton nodded, smiled and said: "Oh, it seems that their enthusiasm for joining the army is still very high, hatred is really the best catalyst.
When we recruited them to defend Syria, all of them were stunned tortoises. Now that we regret it, it's not too late to wake up. UU reading www. uukahnshu.com
Let's continue to recruit in the future, first fill up the few Greek divisions that have been withdrawn, and don't let them chill. "
It has been more than two months since the fall of Syria. The colonial government has accepted more than 1.8 million refugees, but at this point, 600,000 people have joined the army.
It can scare people to death. This ratio is already a world record. Of course, this is also directly related to the relaxation of the standard.
Originally, the proportion of young people who escaped was high, and the recruitment standards for colonial troops were surprisingly low.
Age is difficult to judge, but it doesn’t matter how tall you are. As long as a man is over 1.5 meters tall, he can be enlisted.
Fortunately, these soldiers didn't know the idea of ​​Major General Vicky Clinton, otherwise they would have to shout wrong, and the ghost would be willing to join this colonial force!
It doesn't matter if you sell your life. Now you don't even have the basic military pay and pension. You can only get a small amount of military pay unless you become an officer.
The only exception is probably the Greek divisions that retreated. Although they were also colonial forces, they had old seniority and still had a small amount of military pay.
Of course, this is only limited to veterans, so let's forget about recruits. Bulgaria is poor now, and it is a fortune to save a fortune.
As for their combat effectiveness, Major General Vicky Clinton is not worried at all, anyway, it is a worse era. I have just experienced the atrocities of the Ottomans, they will never surrender directly, right?
Time flies quickly, and in May, the Bulgarian army officially launched the 6th operation on the Peninsula of Asia Minor, and the scope of the world war expanded again.
