"Your Majesty, this is the latest battle report from the Eastern Front. This time the Russians are going to be bad!" Chief of General Staff Imia Dimitev brought bad news to Ferdinand.
The Russians failed at the wrong time. Now the war in the Asia Minor Peninsula is at a critical moment. Once the Russians lose in advance, Bulgaria ’s military pressure in the Balkans will increase.
Ferdinand asked with concern: "How long can you expect the Russians to be?"
Imiya Dimitev thought and said, "From the current situation, the Russian defense line may collapse at any time, but after all they have nearly five million troops, and it is impossible for the Allies to swallow. Down theirs.
Even if the Allies win, they will not be able to escape from the Eastern Battlefield within two or three months. This time the Russians may be greatly injured.
However, the Russians have a large territory, rich human resources, and sufficient strategic buffer space. As long as they are given enough time, they can still slow down! "
Ferdinand nodded slightly, as long as the Russians were not directly finished, it was acceptable. The bears' weights are put there, even if they are weak, they can also restrain a large number of allied forces.
After thinking about it, Ferdinand said coldly, "Start the second plan, first occupy Sardinia and the Tuscan islands, and prepare to land in Lido-Diostia. Once the Russians are defeated , Let's take the Italian! "
There is no doubt that Ferdinand intends to let the Italians out of the war ahead of time, and use Italian surrender to offset the politically adverse effects brought by the defeat of Russia!
Lido Diostia was so many miles away from Rome. Once the landing was successful, the Italian capital, Rome, could not keep it.
Once Rome fell, the Apennine peninsula was divided into two, and Italy would not be able to surrender!
"Yes!" Answered Chief of General Staff Imia Dimitev
Of course, this strategy also needs the cooperation of Britain and France, otherwise the tens of thousands of Bulgarian troops in Sicily alone will not have this strength.
However, Ferdinand can be sure that Britain and France will not reject this proposal, and they cannot resist the political gains brought by killing Italy.
...
At Buckingham Palace in London, George V was having a headache for the Russians calling for a telegram. He didn't expect that a hairy bear had just burst out, and he softened so quickly.
"Prime Minister, do you think the Russians really can't stand it, or are they making a mystery?" George V asked
The Prime Minister frowned and said, "Your Majesty, judging from the information passed back by our military observation mission, the Russian army is indeed about to run out of food. They may not last long!"
George V asked with some confusion: "The Russians are still short of food?"
After shaking his head, the Prime Minister affirmed, "No, of course the Russians are not short of food! But because they blindly advanced the front, and these two or three months coincided with the season when Russia's snow and ice melted, muddy The roads in the country are hindering their material transportation, so there will be a shortage of food. When the traffic is restored after a while, this problem should be solved. "
After listening to the Prime Minister's explanation, George V's mood relaxed a lot.
"Oh, so long as we find a solution to the problem of Russian weapons and ammunition, can they block the Germans?
Then let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs negotiate with the Bulgarians, let them first gather a batch of ammunition for the Russians, and help Russia pass this level. "
The Prime Minister said with a bitter smile: "His Majesty, the Bulgarians are also fighting on multiple fronts. Their strategic material reserves may not be able to supply the Russian army's five million army!
In fact, we have already negotiated with Bulgarians before, and they explicitly rejected our proposal, and did not even give us a chance to quote! "
George V denied in a very firm tone: "No, my Prime Minister, they do not need them to supply all the supplies, but just provide a batch of bullets, so that the Russian rifle does not become a burning stick. Of course, it can provide another Batch of shells is even better!
Believe me, one hundred or two million rounds of bullets will not fail Ferdinand! He is actually very conservative on big strategic issues and will definitely be fully prepared. This is what His Majesty Edward VII told me! "
The Prime Minister thought for a while and then said, "Of course, I have no doubt about His Majesty's judgment. If only a batch of bullets were provided, Bulgaria should still be able to get them, but these bullets alone are not useful?
George V sneered: "This has nothing to do with us. The Russians are only our allies now. Who knows the future?
As long as they can hold the Germans, the victory or defeat of the Eastern Conference is not important! "
The Prime Minister nodded in cooperation. Now the British Empire has 20 colonial divisions arriving in Europe every month. As long as the Russians drag on for a few more months, they are ready. By that time, it can also meet the dead German people!
...
Compared with the British, the French are much more sincere. They sincerely hope that the Russians can win. The fierce battle of Verdun has made the French realize that the Germans alone can defeat the Germans. It can also be costly.
They not only helped the Russians to raise a batch of materials, but also tried to induce Bulgaria to take the initiative to attack the Austro-Hungarian Empire through diplomatic means. At the same time, they also launched an offensive on the western front to limit the German forces as much as possible.
Unfortunately, all this is futile, Ferdinand cannot put himself in danger for the benefit!
On the contrary, it was the British proposal that made Ferdinand very interested. The use of fur bears and the Germans desperately was undoubtedly in the common interest of everyone.
Ferdinand finally decided to send 300 million rounds of ammunition and 5 million rounds of various artillery shells to the Russians to allow the bears to support for a period of time.
...
At this time, the eastern battlefield changed again, and the Russian army with ammunition assistance immediately resurrected with blood and played well with the German and Austrian forces.
Of course, this only refers to the army that received the ammunition. The farthest northern army is still insisting on it. Due to the lack of ammunition, they still fight very hard.
Admiral Alexei Andreyevich Polyanov of the Russian North Front is getting worse and worse. The Southwest Front nearest to the Black Sea is now full of blood and is resurrected. Replenishing blood, except for their northern army, the worst.
Ammunition is available, but it is still on the road, and by the time they are shipped to them, it is unknown how much remains.
Once the battle was fierce and the ammunition was consumed too much, the Russian troops along the way would have to geese to pluck their hairs. In the end, only three melons and two dates were left in their hands.
No wonder he was unbalanced. Anyone who encountered this situation would be in a state of anger.
"General, the Second Infantry Division sent a telegram saying that the Germans were attacking them, and their ammunition was about to run out, asking for emergency support!"
"General, the sixteenth infantry division sent a telegram saying that the Germans intended to penetrate the line of defense from their positions. They had repelled the enemy three attacks. Now ammunition is urgent, and urgent support is requested!"
...
Looking at a series of help telegrams, Alexei Andreyevich Polyvanov knew that the northern army was miserable this time. The Germans seemed to have discovered their lack of ammunition and seemed to treat them as soft. The persimmon is squeezed.
No, now they are soft persimmons. All weapons and ammunition have been distributed to the units. The logistics warehouse of the North Front has been emptied. Now the only hope is to wait for logistics supplies.
Alexei Andreyevich Polivanov sternly said, "Tell them they must hold on, and for two days, our logistics supplies will be in place. Before that, everyone must If you want to stick to your post and die, you must also die on the position. Offenders engage in military law! "
"Yes!" The staff responded
Alexei Andreyevich Polivanov ignored the staff's response and continued to say, "Subsequently, order the logistics department to speed up the march. If the front line is not reached within two days, all personnel All military law is engaged!
Order the 7th Cavalry Division and immediately go to the logistic unit to help them transport, and first use a war horse to support me with some bullets to return to the emergency!
And all the officers and guards in the rear handed out the ammunition, sent me to the front line, and distributed it to the soldiers! "
Obviously, the North Front was already in danger, and all the front lines lacked ammunition ~ EbookFREE.me ~ This battle could not continue.
Aleksey Andreyevich Polyvanov knew that the ammunition consumption was too great now, and even if this batch of materials arrived, the North Front could not hold on for long.
But now every minute is precious to the Russian army, and the Allies are already trying to supply them with supplies.
As long as they have sufficient ammunition, it is not difficult for them to block the attack of the Allies by virtue of their strength.
Therefore, now Alexei Andreyevich Polivanov has decided to take a life-threatening battle, and even all the weapons and ammunition of the guards have been sent to the front line. He is fighting for time with the Germans.
