Bulgarian Empire

In fact, Ferdinand did not take the agreement with Britain and France to heart, and the distribution of benefits ultimately depends on fists.

As long as Bulgaria actually occupies these places, these places will naturally be Bulgaria's territory. On the contrary, if Bulgaria does not have the strength to occupy these territories, then Britain and France will not mind re-dividing it again.

What really satisfied Ferdinand was that the contradiction between Britain and France was much greater than he expected, which meant that the diplomatic environment of Bulgaria after the war would be much better.

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, the two sides have natural contradictions that cannot be reconciled.

But it doesn't matter to Ferdinand. If the French are strong enough, they can expand as they like. Anyway, he has no idea about Western and Central Europe.

As for the unification of Europe, which even Napoleon failed to achieve, Ferdinand did not believe that the current Gallic chickens could do it. The balance of the continent should be left to the British themselves!

Ferdinand didn't know that under his butterfly effect, both Britain and France followed Bulgaria's intention.

It's a pity that the British who are lonely overseas are destined to be at a natural disadvantage in this regard. Now it is impossible to return to the European continent. They will send the Irish away at most. It is estimated that this will be difficult to do!

The French are different. According to the ideas of some radicals, they have already planned to pack the Germans out directly, and France will directly annex Central Europe.

Regarding the thoughts of these people, Ferdinand can only say that they are too naive. If the Germans were paralyzed, there was still a chance of their ideas being realized; if, as in history, the Germans still had military strength, they would surrender.

If the French dare to move, and John Bull will support another wave behind them, the war will break out immediately. Can the Gallic chickens withstand it?

Of course, if the Gallic chickens are smart enough to bully the Italians, this problem does not seem to be a big problem, and they have an absolute advantage in terms of force.

Anyway, these have nothing to do with Ferdinand. The strength of a country is always in itself, not in the decline of its opponents. Of course, the Americans are an exception!

As long as he thinks about the large number of deserts on the Bulgarian land in the future, Ferdinand will have a headache. Is it necessary to formulate a century-old plan-based on afforestation?

Forget it, this problem is still a headache in the future, anyway, this can't be solved overnight!

...

The European continent is still full of gunpowder. After the conditions were negotiated, 33 infantry divisions and two artillery divisions were sent to reinforce France.

There is no doubt that these are the mercenary legions recruited before. Of course, Ferdinand is still very moral. These troops were recruited before the outbreak of the World War, and they have fought against the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Romania, and the Kingdom of Montenegro. They have rich combat experience.

The combat power is there, and I am not afraid of what Britain and France will say. Anyway, for Britain and France, defending the Verdun line of defense is the key. As long as the reinforcements have combat effectiveness, it is enough. As for the difference between the Bulgarians and the bears, this is really not important!

The army has been reduced by 500,000, so it is natural to recruit another 500,000. Fortunately, there is enough cannon fodder prepared before, and this number can be made up quickly.

When Ferdinand sent troops to reinforce France, there were also changes on the Eastern Front, 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 and did not attack East Prussia blindly, so naturally there was no initial defeat.

Seeing that the French are about to be overwhelmed, Mao Xiong, as the "European Gendarmerie", should of course do his best. According to information from Russia, Ferdinand knew that the commander of the Russian Southwestern Front, Brusilov, was in charge of the battle. Admiral.

He also has an amazing identity-the founder of the Blitzkrieg. In history, Brusilov commanded the Russian army to win the Brusilov Offensive.

It's just that the Brusilov offensive took place in summer in history,

It's winter now.

However, the winter in Germany and Austria is a piece of cake for Mao Xiong. Compared with their domestic, it can be regarded as warm like spring. Of course, the premise is that the Russians have the concept of spring in their hearts!

But Mao Xiong is Mao Xiong after all. They have three front armies on the Eastern Front, namely Southwest Front Army, Western Front Army, and Northern Front Army. This time they attacked Germany and Austria at the same time.

It fully let the whole world see what the crowd tactics are. On the entire Eastern Front battlefield, more than 4.8 million Russian troops launched an attack at the same time.

Seeing that Ferdinand was dizzy, those with a bit of military common sense don't want to play like this! He wanted to greet the Russian staff who formulated the strategy. Did he think about the logistics if so many troops launched an attack at the same time?

He doesn't care about the Russians' bad things, but he still ordered to pay close attention to the battle situation. If the Russians make a big news and make a breakthrough across the board, then Bulgaria will stab Austria and Hungary again and snatch the spoils!

Of course, he thought it was more likely that the Russians would lose a big battle! Now the momentum is getting bigger, the German reinforcements have also come, and troubles are coming. The gap in strength, Brusilov alone is not enough!

In any case, the momentum of the Russians has been created, and no one knows what the outcome of the battle will be.

Of course, for the French, the Russians did a very good job this time, at least the Germans had to deploy troops to reinforce the Eastern Front.

Otherwise, with their 300,000 to 400,000 defenders and the more than 3 million troops of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it would be unreliable to see nearly 5 million gray animals!

...

When he received the information that the Germans were deploying troops to reinforce the Eastern Front, Ferdinand began to mourn for the Russians. If you don’t die, you won’t die!

Anyway, after the German army reinforces the Eastern Front, it must show its record. Although Bulgaria's Balkan defense line is not as powerful as Verdun, it can't stand their thick!

According to Ferdinand's thinking, basically a few hills are a line of defense. Although it is not so reliable, delaying time is the best choice.

Except for a few places that must be focused on defense, other places are basically a series of small defense lines piled up into a large defense line.

The Austro-Hungarian army has already experienced this, and finally launched a surprise attack to break through the position. The Bulgarian army reacted immediately and regained the position again.

If you want to drive straight in, you can only fight all the way. After fighting a few times, the Austro-Hungarian Empire gave up its plan to fight Bulgaria.

Obviously, what the Germans want is a decisive battle, and it is very uneconomical to have a war of attrition with Bulgaria, 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 point, and only in the plain area can the German army be able to win quickly. Moreover, the Germans must also solve the main force of the Russian army before their Eastern Front will be safe.

...

St. Petersburg, in the Winter Palace, Nicholas II is still in high spirits pointing the country.

It has been almost a year since the World War broke out, and the Russian army has not shown impressive results so far, which makes him very dissatisfied.

Due to Ferdinand's butterfly effect, with the rise of Bulgaria, the Austro-Hungarian Empire faced two powerful opponents at the same time, and they would naturally not be foolish to take the initiative.

As a result, the Austro-Hungarian Empire became an ostrich and played positional warfare honestly. Mao Xiong couldn't do anything to them for a while, so naturally he didn't have a record of shooting.

However, the French resisted the German attack. Although they were at a disadvantage, they still fought with the Germans; the British also locked the German navy, and the Army was still supporting the French; even Bulgaria This former little brother was also very successful, first overturned the Italian navy, then almost unified the Balkan Peninsula, and is still preparing to attack the Ottoman Empire.

This is still unbearable for the arrogant Nicholas II. They can't show off their victory over the Ottomans in the Caucasus, right?

He still can't afford to lose that man, and now it's Russia's turn to explode. After such a long period of preparation, the Russian army finally has all the weapons and ammunition, ready to explode!

Of course, the most important thing is the distribution of benefits after the war. Now that the Russian Empire has no convincing record, why should it divide up the most delicious cake?

You must know that after the "Russian-Japanese War", the status of the Russian Empire in Europe has dropped significantly. 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 could only be very average, and under the conjecture of its colleagues, it could also be described as terrible.

The name does not live up to the truth!

This would undoubtedly be disastrous for the Tsarist government. Once European countries believe that the strength of the Russian Empire "does not live up to its name", then not only the establishment of the "Slavic Empire" should not be considered, but even the distribution of benefits after the war will not be possible. How much power do they have to speak!

It can be said that the great powers are very realistic. Before the outbreak of the world war, Bulgaria still had the lowest voice among the great powers.

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 time to attack has been missed. Now the German reinforcements are reinforcing the Eastern Front. Our strategic goal of alleviating the French military pressure has been achieved. There is no need to continue this war!" Chief of General Staff Nikolai Nikolaevich Romanov Jr. suggested

According to his thinking, since the Germans have been mobilized and the French crisis has been temporarily lifted, there is no need to fight this war again.

Of course, this is only in terms of military affairs, but it is completely different politically!

In the military, it is a good strategy to let the Germans constantly mobilize on the east and west fronts, exhausting themselves and finally dragging down the Germans!

But in politics, the Russian Empire now needs a victory, and a victory that will amaze the world!

Xiang smiled and retorted: "Mr. Chief of Staff, if it is purely military, your opinion is fine.

But politically, the Russian Empire has to fight now, which is related to our status in the Allied Powers and also to the future distribution of interests.

If we stop attacking this time and instead defend on the spot, the centuries-old prestige accumulated by the Russian Empire will be destroyed! "

Army Minister Alexei Andreyevich Polivanov said with a sneer: "Mr. Xiang, the prestige is earned, and we are not fully sure of victory if we launch a full-scale attack now!

If the front line is defeated, the consequences will be even more serious. Instead of this, it is more reliable for us to reduce the scale of the war and increase the certainty of victory!

I don't think it is necessary for the three fronts to attack at the same time. Two of the fronts will make a feint attack, and one front will be the main attack. Even if there is any change, it is under our control!

In addition, we must consider logistics. The frontline troops only have one and a half months of combat material reserves. Once this time passes, we need to transport them from the rear.

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!

Besides, even if the government has a way to gather this batch of supplies, it will not be able to complete this huge transportation task due to our poor traffic conditions! "

Compared with the same period in history, the life of the Russians in this time and space is much easier. 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 yet, and their army losses are not as heavy as in history.

At least in history, the situation that only a few Russian soldiers have only one rifle has not yet appeared. Although there are still all kinds of equipment, in the end, each person has a rifle, and the weapons and ammunition are still barely available.

This gave the tsarist government an illusion and felt good about themselves. They believed that as long as the Russian Empire worked hard, it could kill the German-Austrian coalition forces on the Eastern Front.

As long as this battle is won, the war will come to an end. As the biggest hero, the Russian Empire is naturally eligible to get the biggest cake.

Of course, it is not ruled out that someone has received money from Britain and France. After all, in order to promote Russia's attack, Britain and France also spent a lot of money, and the research fee is naturally indispensable.

The Foreign Secretary suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Britain and France have promised that as long as we launch this attack, they will bear all the expenses.

As for the lack of supplies that the army ministers are worried about, the Allies can also provide them. We have reached an agreement with Bulgaria, they will coordinate capacity and ensure our supplies! "

Nicholas II, who had already been shaken, was tempted again. If Britain and France could bear all the expenses and be responsible for the supply of strategic materials, then it would be no big deal to fight this war.

In his view, as long as these problems are resolved, the possibility of losing the war has been minimized. In the worst case, it will cost human life and the allies. Anyway, the last thing Russia lacks is gray livestock.

Nicholas II asked worriedly: "Can the promises of Britain and France be fulfilled? There are not a few materials to support the five million troops in combat. How can they guarantee transportation?"

The foreign minister said calmly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we have negotiated with Bulgaria. If the supplies from Britain and France are not available in the short term, they can advance part of it."

Well, Ferdinand didn't even know when he had agreed to advance strategic supplies for Britain and France.

However, in the tsarist government, there is no need to deceive too much. Now their main purpose is to fool Nicholas II into launching a full-scale attack on Germany and Austria. Britain and France will take care of some minor details!

Nicholas II nodded in satisfaction and asked, "If Britain and France can fulfill their promises, can we attack?"

Army Minister Alexei Andreyevich Polivanov thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I still suggest reducing the scale of the war..."

Nicholas II said dissatisfied: "Enough, the difficulties you mentioned have been solved, can't we launch a full-scale attack?

We must know that ending this war as soon as possible and getting the spoils we want is the top priority!

Don't you know how much this war has caused the Russian Empire?

Almost all of our international commerce has come to a halt. If the war continues, our domestic economy is about to collapse! "

Obviously, Nicholas II is not an idiot, he still knows some domestic situations. The lives of the people of the Russian Empire are not very easy now, and everyone's living standards have been greatly reduced due to the impact of the war!
