Vol 4 Chapter 77: From the East Line

In fact, Ferdinand did not take the agreement reached with Britain and France into consideration, and ultimately, the distribution of benefits still depends on his fists.
As long as Bulgaria actually takes up these places, these places are naturally Bulgarian territory. Conversely, if Bulgaria does not have the strength to occupy these sites, Britain and France will not mind re-dividing once.
What really pleases Ferdinand is that the contradiction between Britain and France is much larger 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 continent, but the British don't 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 good 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 it. Ferdinand does not believe that the current Gallic chicken can do it. The mainland balance is left to the British.
Ferdinand did not know that under his butterfly effect, Britain and France effectively imitated Bulgarian intentions.
It is a pity that the British people who are lonely overseas are destined to be a natural disadvantage in this regard. Now it is impossible to return to the European continent. They will send the Irish at most.
The French are not the same. According to some activists, they have planned to package the Germans directly, and France directly annexed Central Europe.
Regarding these people's thoughts, Ferdinand can only say that they are too naive. If the Germans were half-baked, their vision could still be realized; if, as in history, the Germans still had military strength, they would surrender.
If the French dared to move and John Bull backed behind him, the war would soon break out. Can the Gallic chickens stand up to it?
Of course, if the Gallic chicken is smart enough to run to bully the Italians, this problem seems to be small, and 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 the opponent. Of course, Americans are an exception!
As long as you think about it, in the future, there will be a lot of deserts in Bulgaria, and Ferdinand will have a headache. Is it necessary to formulate a hundred-year plan-tree planting?
Forget it, this problem will be a headache in the future, anyway, this will not be solved overnight!
...
The European continent was still full of smoke. After the conditions were negotiated, 33 infantry divisions were dispatched, and two artillery divisions reinforced France.
These are undoubtedly the mercenary regiments previously recruited. Of course, Ferdinand is still very disciplined. These troops were recruited before the outbreak of the World War. They have also had a lot of experience with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Romania, and the Kingdom of Montenegro.
The fighting power is there, and I am not afraid of what the British and French say. Anyway, for Britain and France, keeping the Verdun line of defense is the key, as long as the reinforcements have combat effectiveness, as for the difference between Bulgarians and fur bears, this is really not important!
The 500,000 troops were reduced, and it was natural to recruit another 500,000. Fortunately, enough cannon fodder was prepared before, and this number could be quickly added.
When Ferdinand sent troops to reinforce France, the Eastern Front also changed, and the Russians launched a winter offensive.
Due to Ferdinand's butterfly effect, the Russians targeted the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the beginning of the war. Without blindly attacking East Prussia, there was naturally no defeat at the beginning.
Now seeing that the French are about to stand up, as a "European gendarmerie", the bears should naturally exert their strength. According to the information from Russia, Ferdinand knew that the commander of the southwestern Russian army who was in charge of the battle was Brusilo Admiral.
He also has an amazing identity-the founder of the Blitz, and also historically Brusilov commanded the Russian army to win the Brusilov offensive.
But historically, Brusilov's offensive took place in summer, and now it breaks out in winter.
However, the winter in Germany and Austria is a piece of cake for fur bears. Compared with their domestic counterparts, this can be regarded as spring-like warmth. Of course, the premise is that the Russians have the concept of spring!
However, in the end, the Mao bears are Mao bears. They have three fronts in the east, namely the Southwest Front, the West Front, and the North Front. This time they launched attacks on Germany and Austria at the same time.
Fully let the world see what tactics of sea of ​​people, the entire eastern battlefield, more than 4.8 million Russian troops, launched an attack at the same time.
Ferdinand was dizzy, and a bit of military common sense can't wait to play like that! He wanted to greet Russia's strategy staff. Was his brain flooded? If so many troops had launched an offensive at the same time, had they considered logistics?
He can't control the bad things of the Russians, but he still orders to pay close attention to the war situation. In case the Russians make a big news to make a breakthrough across the board, then Bulgaria will have to fight Austria-Hungary again and grab the loot!
Of course, he thinks that the Russians are more likely to lose a big battle! Now the momentum is getting bigger, the Germans' reinforcements are coming, the trouble is also coming, and the gap in strength is not only worthy of Brucelov's name!
Anyway, the momentum of the Russians 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 their troops to reinforce the Eastern Front.
Otherwise, just relying on their three or four hundred thousand defenders and the more than three million troops of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it is not reliable to look at the nearly five million gray animals!
...
When receiving the German intelligence to send troops to reinforce the Eastern Front Intelligence, Ferdinand began to mourn for the Russians. Without death, he would not die!
Anyway, after the German army reinforces the Eastern Front, it must definitely have a record. Although the Balkan defense line in Bulgaria is not as great as Verdun, it can't hold them thick!
According to Ferdinand's idea, a few hills are basically a line of defense. Although not so reliable, delaying time is the best option.
Except for a few places where defense must be focused, other places are basically large series of small lines of defense.
At this point, the Austro-Hungarian army had already been taught, and finally launched a surprise attack to break through the position. The Bulgarian army immediately responded and regained the position again.
If you want to drive straight ahead, you can only fight it all the way. After a few fights, the Austro-Hungarian Empire abandoned its plan to fight against Bulgaria.
Obviously, what the Germans want is a quick decision and a battle of attrition with Bulgaria. It is very uneconomical, that is, they cannot achieve the desired results, and they cannot solve the crisis on the eastern front.
Then the Eastern European Plain is the best breakthrough, and only in the Plains area can the German army win quickly. Moreover, the Germans must solve the main force of the Russian army before their east line can be safe.
...
St. Petersburg, Nicholas II in the Hermitage is still pointing brightly.
It's been almost a year since the outbreak of the World War, and up to now the Russian army has not made a record of success, which makes him very dissatisfied.
Due to Ferdinand's butterfly effect, with the rise of Bulgaria, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is facing two powerful opponents at the same time, and they will naturally not fool to take the initiative.
As a result, the Austro-Hungarian Empire became an ostrich, and played the position battles honestly. The fur bears couldn't help them for a while, and naturally they did not have a record.
However, the French resisted the German attack, and although they were in a disadvantage, they still played against the Germans; the British also locked the German navy, and the army was still supporting the French; even Bulgaria The once younger brother was also mixed up. First, he overturned the Italian navy, and then almost unified the Balkan Peninsula. Now he is still preparing to attack the Ottoman Empire.
This is still unbearable for the proud Nicholas II. You can't show off their success in defeating the Ottomans in the Caucasus?
He couldn't afford to lose that person, and it was now Russia's turn to erupt. After so long preparations, the Russian army finally had weapons and ammunition ready to erupt!
Of course, the most important thing is the post-war benefit distribution. Now that the Russian Empire can't make a convincing record, by what time will it divide up the most delicious cake?
You should know that after the "Russian-Russian War", the status of the Russian Empire in Europe dropped sharply. Many people think that the "European Gendarmerie" is old!
This is not good news. Everyone knows that they can retire when they are old!
After the outbreak of the World War, the performance of the Russian army can only be very ordinary. Under the aegis of their peers, it can also be described as bad.
The name is not true!
This is undoubtedly catastrophic for the Tsarist government. Once European nations think that the strength of the Russian Empire is "inaccurate", then not only does the establishment of a "Slavic Empire" be ignored, even the distribution of post-war benefits will How much power do they have!
It can be said that the powers are very realistic. Before the outbreak of the World War, Bulgaria's right to speak among the powers was still the lowest.
However, with the outbreak of the World War, Bulgaria's strength has been recognized by the outside world, and its influence in the Allies has greatly increased. On the contrary, the influence of the Russians is declining.
"Your Majesty, our best offensive opportunity has been missed. Now the German reinforcements are reinforcing the Eastern Front. Our strategic purpose of easing the French military pressure has been achieved, and there is no need to continue this war!" Chief of Staff Little Nikola Nikolaevich Romanov proposed
According to him, now that the Germans have been mobilized and the French crisis has been temporarily lifted, it is not necessary to fight this war again.
Of course this is only for military reasons, but it is completely different politically!
It is a good policy to let the Germans move between the east and the west on a military level, tired of running and eventually bring down the Germans!
But politically, the Russian Empire now needs a victory, and a victory that marvels the world!
The Prime Minister countered with a smile: "Mr. Chief of Staff, if you are purely military, your opinion is fine.
But politically, the Russian Empire now has to fight. This has something to do with our position in the Allies and also the distribution of future benefits.
If we stop the attack this time and switch to local defense, the century-old prestige accumulated by the Russian Empire will be ruined! "
Secretary of the Army Alexei Andreyevich Polivanov sneered and said: "Mr. Prime Minister, the prestige is all played out, and we will not be fully confident of winning the war by launching a comprehensive attack now!
If the front line is defeated, the consequences will be even more serious. Instead, we can reduce the scale of the war and increase our confidence in victory!
I don't think it's necessary to launch attacks on three fronts at the same time. Two of them are going to attack, and the main offensive of one side is enough. Even if something goes wrong, it is still under our control!
In addition, we must consider logistics. Frontline troops have only one and a half months of operational material reserves. Once this time is exceeded, we need to transport them behind.
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 a way to get all these supplies, but with our poor traffic conditions, we cannot complete this huge transportation task! "
Compared with the same period in history, the Russians in this space-time have a better life. 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 military losses are not as severe as they were in history.
At least in history, only a few rifles had a rifle. In spite of the variety of equipment, a rifle was still available, and weapons and ammunition were barely available.
This gave the tsarist government an illusion and felt good about themselves. They believed that as long as the Russian Empire exerted its power, it would be possible to kill the German and Austrian coalition forces on the eastern front.
As long as this battle is won, the war will be over. As the biggest hero, the Russian Empire is naturally eligible for the biggest cake.
Of course, it is not ruled out that someone has received British and French money. After all, in order to promote this Russian attack, Britain and France also paid a large price, and the research costs were also inevitable.
The Foreign Minister suddenly said: "His 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 Secretary of State is worried about, the Allies can also provide it. We have reached an agreement with Bulgaria and they will coordinate capacity to ensure our supplies! "
Nicholas II, who had been shaken, once again tempted. If Britain and France could bear all the expenses and be responsible for the supply of strategic materials, then this war would be no big deal.
In his view, as long as these problems are solved, the possibility of war failure has been minimized. In a big deal, it costs human lives and allies, anyway, the most important thing for Russia is gray animals.
Nicholas II asked uneasily: "Can the promises of Britain and France be fulfilled? There are not a small number of materials to support the five million troops. How can they guarantee transportation?"
The Foreign Minister calmly said, "Her Majesty, please be assured that we have already negotiated with Bulgaria. If supplies of British and French supplies are not available in the short term, they can make advances."
Well, Ferdinand does not know yet, when he has agreed to advance strategic materials for Britain and France.
However, it is no longer necessary to deceive and hide things in the tsarist government. Now their main purpose is to launch a comprehensive offensive against Germany and Austria. For some sidelines, Britain and France will handle it!
Nicholas II nodded with satisfaction and asked, "If Britain and France can fulfill the promise, can we launch an attack?"
Secretary of the Army Alexei Andreyevich Polyvanov thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, I still recommend reducing the scale of the war ..."
Nicholas II said dissatisfied: "Enough ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The difficulties you have said have been resolved, shall we not launch a full-scale attack?
You must know that ending this war as soon as possible and getting the loot 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 stopped. If the war continues, our domestic economy will soon collapse! "
Obviously, Nicholas II was not an idiot, but he knew some domestic situations. The lives of the people in the Russian Empire are not very good now, and the living standards of everyone affected by the war have greatly reduced!
