Vol 2 Chapter 31: Naval power on paper

The words of Jeff Ferdinand were not unfounded. The Greeks dared to single out the Ottoman Empire for no reason. It is true that the Turks are really weak!
It is much weaker than during the first Balkan war, otherwise the British would not plan to divide up the Ottomans, and the Greeks would not have the courage to declare war on the Ottoman Empire!
比如 For example, in the Macedonian region, the Ottoman Empire has a nominal force of 110,000, but the actual number may be less than half.
The military expenses saved are all divided up by the domestic powers. The above points can be used to catch civilians. This is the status of the Ottoman Empire at the end of the 19th century!
Unlike Ferdinand, a traverser, after all, Bulgaria has only recently become independent from the Ottoman Empire, and still has awe for this sovereign state.
When making a strategy, you can't help overestimating the strength of the other party! Their assessment of the strength of the Ottoman Empire is still very realistic.
I heard Ferdinand's words, and everyone looked a little embarrassed, but then relieved. Since it is an enemy, of course the Ottoman Empire is weaker and better, as for the plan? You can change at any time, anyway, as long as you can win this war!
Well, Ferdinand was about to use the immense intentions of immigrants as cannon fodder, and everyone pretended not to see it. Anyway, they are not Bulgarian nationals, and no one is distressed when they die. As for the Russians, they don't care about the life and death of gray animals!
Petrov simply said, "Okay, I will modify the plan when I go back, including the road repair labor in the preparatory plan, and will try to ensure the normal operation of the factory!"
I thought of the main factor in the defeat of Bulgaria in the Second Balkan War, which was the lack of guns and artillery, and the army had a combat power. Unfortunately, there were no weapons or ammunition for them to play.
Alas, Ferdinand also urged: "Modern warfare is no longer the number of people who can determine victory! The battlefield is more than just people. Weapons and equipment have become the core factors that determine the outcome of the war!
Of course I am not saying that the human factor is not critical, and the training of soldiers must not be relaxed! But cold weapons ca n’t beat hot weapons, but it ’s a fact. Do n’t hold guns and find no ammunition. You can only let soldiers fight bayonet. It ’s embarrassing! "
Immediately after Jeff Ferdinand's remarks were made, Prime Minister Constantine immediately stated, "Please be assured, Grand Duke, our government will make every effort to protect the logistics supply!
In order to ensure the completion of the ammunition reserve, our cabinet will immediately allocate funds and order the arsenal to increase the production line. Even if it is a 24-hour rush, we must complete the reservation task in advance! "
Uh ...
I finally got the government, Ferdinand finally relieved. If the Russians are out now, Bulgaria will definitely not eat and tease.
No matter how proud the Russians are now, they will cry after the Russo-Japanese War broke out! As long as this decade has passed, a powerful Russia and a rising Bulgaria will have a fundamental change in the strength comparison between the two sides.
This time the Russians were extremely rare and efficient. Once the secret agreement was signed, the weapons and equipment of the Russian Empire began to be opened to Bulgaria, and even some of the weapons and equipment banned by the French were available for purchase.
Unfortunately Ferdinand now: what is needed is not used, what is not used is not! Then took the opportunity to purchase a batch of cutting-edge machinery and equipment from France, which strengthened Bulgaria's industrial strength.
Then, the symbolic parliament went around, and Bulgaria's plan for the big navy was officially released!
details? Sorry, God knows what the Russians are going to do! Anyway, the Bulgarian government has no right to interfere in "this new navy."
Jeff Ferdinand still underestimated the shamelessness of the Russians. The so-called "Bulgarian Navy" is directly a member of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, and a national flag was directly changed to the Bulgarian Navy!
Don't say anything, fight for naval control, even ordinary transfers must require the consent of the Russians. This is exactly what the Bulgarian government paid for raising the fleet for the Russians. From boat to person, there is no place for Bulgaria to intervene!
Well, Ferdinand can only comfort himself: in fact, 200 million levs can't afford much waves in the mouth of the gold-swallowing beast. Isn't there now a powerful "existing fleet"?
Even though it is not easy to use, anyway, you can take it out to scare people? In terms of tonnage, Bulgaria is also one of the top ten naval powers in the world!
And it is not completely unharmed. In addition to being scary, at least the Russians helped Bulgaria and set up a logistics service system.
There is one more dock for maintenance and repair of warships. Although it is a little worse, anyway, simple warship maintenance can be performed!
Of course, Ferdinand has always believed that it was the high level of the Russian navy who directly committed these expenses to the Bulgarian government in order to embezzle military expenses!
However, he accepted it very readily. In addition to the engineers sent by the Russians, the Bulgarian government also blocked a group of workers to study, and it was regarded as paying tuition.
Compared with the depression of high-level government ~ EbookFREE.me ~ folks are much more lively. At the end of the 19th century, sea power had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The navy is the most important criterion for measuring the strength of a country!
Ordinary people don't care, how much weirdness is there? Anyway, this bought fleet hangs the Bulgarian flag and lingers on the Black Sea!
Everyone has brave talks, and have a great country dream! Even with the start of the large reserve training, it was much more enthusiastic.
Bulgarian changes, people with a little common sense know that a new round of the Balkan war is about to start again!
The Balkan countries quickly started to follow up. First, Mentenegrow (Montenegro) announced an expansion of 10,000 troops. Not much compared to other countries, but for Mentenegrow, it is already the limit!
A small country with a population of less than 400,000. After the expansion of the army, a army of 25,000 was raised, and it was already working hard to feed.
He had to admire King Nicholas I of Mentenegrow, who succeeded the Grand Chancellor in 1860. The Turks defeated the Turks twice in 1862 and 1876, and finally won a brilliant victory.
Through diplomatic efforts, at the Berlin conference, he decided to double his territory and become a sovereign state.
访问 Visit St. Petersburg in 1868, met with the Russian Emperor Alexander II, hugged the Russian thigh, and since then the Russian government has often provided him with money and weapons support.
He is also a huge supporter of Serbdom (serfdom) and hopes that the Serbs will unite and advocate the establishment of the United Kingdom. However, he strongly opposed Kara? Or? Evi? S.
Mentenegro government stood on the Serbian side with clear flags during the Bulgarian war and severed diplomatic relations with Bulgaria.
