Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 80, Syria Falls

Is this instigation job really that dangerous? Essad is not sure, at least he got off to a good start. With the back door opened by the Bulgarian defenders, he successfully blended into a Montenegrin infantry regiment.

The information was determined in advance. Almost all the people in this infantry regiment were released from the concentration camps of the Kingdom of Montenegro, and were once part of the Ottoman Empire.

The only regret is that they are already very old and have passed the impulsive age, and the long-term labor has worn down their fighting spirit.

It is not so easy to mobilize them to defect, at least they need an incentive.

This incentive has existed for a long time. The composition of this Montenegro infantry division is very complicated, and internal conflicts are naturally indispensable.

The relationship between the Black Race, the Serbs, and the Ottomans is not harmonious. There is no doubt that the officers of the Black Race and the Serbs have joined forces to exclude these Ottomans.

It's okay if it's just crowding out, but when it comes to the distribution of weapons and equipment and military pay, this can't be eased.

This was all intentionally done by Major General Vicky Clinton. The Black Mountain Infantry Division was given one battalion less weapons and equipment, half a regiment less military pay, and let them distribute freely.

After working for a long time, these Ottomans are no longer enthusiastic, and everyone will endure the loss. But the military rations are insufficient, and this cannot be tolerated.

As the supreme commander of this regiment, Wesley is in a very bad mood now. According to his idea, the food is only one-tenth short. Everyone in the division saves some food, and the food is barely enough.

But his opinion was ignored, and there were two Ottoman regiments like him, and this part of the shortage fell on them, which meant that the two and a half layers of rations were gone.

Do not suffer from scarcity but from inequality!

It wasn't that they didn't go hungry when they were in the concentration camp. Anyway, it was only a week, and they could survive if they were seventy percent full.

It's a pity that seeing that other people can eat and drink enough, their mood is instantly unbalanced. At this time, Essad has "pretended to be a military policeman" and entered his headquarters.

Essad said calmly: "General Wesley, hello! Let's get to know each other first, Major Essad, the staff officer of the Syrian Front Command of the Ottoman Empire, you must already know the reason for my visit!"

Wesley's face changed drastically, and he said in horror, "How did you get in? Don't you know where this is?"

Essard smiled slightly, and then said slowly, "Don't worry, Mr. Wesley, it's safe here as long as the two of us are here. I have sent the guards here, and they won't disturb our conversation."

Wesley calmed down slowly, and said coldly: "You go, once you are discovered, you will be finished."

Essard's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Very well, it seems that Mr. Wesley has forgotten the bloody feud, don't you want to take revenge after being bullied by the Montenegrin people for so long?

Think about your family, how many people died in the concentration camp where there was no hope? Why can you betray your motherland and give up all this when the Bulgarians rescued you? "

Wesley said angrily: "That's enough, don't talk anymore! If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave. Even if you talk about breaking the sky, it's useless. We won't be able to defeat the Bulgarians!"

Esad was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that the biggest problem was that these people thought that the Ottoman Empire would lose the war.

It's normal to think about it. The two sides have fought so many times, and the Ottoman Empire has never won. It is very normal to have no confidence in them.

Essad shook his head and said: "No, Mr. Wesley, your worries are unnecessary. I don't know if we can defeat the Bulgarians, but it is not a problem for us to defeat Syria!

The country has added 800,000 troops to Syria. Do you think 1.3 million troops can't break through Syria?

You must know that Bulgaria only has five divisions here, and the rest are colonial troops. Do you think we can't even win these colonial troops?

You don't think the Bulgarians will increase their troops, do you? Now the war on the continent of Europe has reached a fever pitch,

Bulgaria has sent reinforcements to France.

Now that the Eastern Front is in full swing, how can they have so many reinforcements to support the Syrian region?

According to my judgment, the Bulgarians are very likely to give up the Syrian region. For them, the Balkans are the core, and colonies like Syria are dispensable! "

Essard's words shook Wesley's attitude again. Although he still didn't fully believe it, an intuition told him that it was true!

Seeing his attitude change, Essard added: "Mr. Wesley, haven't you noticed that the Bulgarians have handed over more and more lines of defense to the colonial troops?

Whether you admit it or not, the signs of Bulgaria's abandonment of the Syrian region are becoming more and more obvious. For you and your subordinates, cooperation with us is the best choice!

Here is a check for 10,000 pounds from a Swiss bank, and it is yours now. As long as you cooperate with us in capturing the Syrian region, there will be great rewards later, and even you can become a new nobleman of the Ottoman Empire!

Even if you are worried that the Bulgarians will call back, you can still emigrate with the bounty, and go to the United States, Brazil and other places that Bulgaria cannot reach. Who can find you in the vast crowd? "

Faced with the temptation of money, Wesley's eyes began to shine. The huge figure of 10,000 pounds was enough for him to live a prosperous life in any region of the world.

What is there to be afraid of? Even if the Ottoman Empire were to fail in the end, they could still run away and hide in a corner. Would the Bulgarians still go to war for their small role?

Seeing the changes in Wesley's expression successively, Essard knew that this operation was probably going to be successful, and now he only needed a reason for Guan Guangwei to prompt him to betray.

Essard continued to add fuel to the fire: "Mr. Wesley, think about the grievances you have suffered, why can they eat and drink if you are going to starve?

Every time you distribute supplies, you get the least, and the food you eat is always the worst. When the war starts, the most dangerous task is still yours. Even if you don’t think about yourself, you have to think about it for your subordinates consider!

Don't you want revenge? For your dead relatives and friends, seek justice from the Montenegrin people next door? "

Wesley said angrily, "Okay, I did it! Tell me what to do?"

...

At the same time as the Essad operation, Major General Vicky Clinton was also organizing the withdrawal of the army, and at the same time put the last batch of food into the hands of the people.

As for the remaining food, in fact, there is not much. The Syrian area has not been open for a long time, and coupled with the rapid increase in the number of immigrants, it is naturally almost consumed.

But before leaving, Major General Vicky Clinton also made preparations. Once the Ottomans broke through the line of defense, they would burn all the food and supplies. At that time, the rations of the more than three million people would be a headache for them.

Of course, the Ottomans probably wouldn't have a headache. They were already very skilled in this area, and livestock could be turned into food without fodder.

It has to be said that Ferdinand is still soft-hearted. The Syrian region is not far from the New Year's Day and the Palestine region. As long as they want to run, there is no problem.

The premise is that the Ottomans run away as soon as they come, and naturally they can't run away when they are late. If anyone regarded the Ottoman army as an ally, they could only be counted as unlucky.

...

On a dark and stormy night, the Ottoman army, with the cooperation of Wesley, the leading party, broke through the Bulgarian defense line in Syria, and the Bulgarian army, which was originally a reserve force, disappeared.

However, the Ottoman army still encountered fierce resistance, and there was no way for several small towns that were previously occupied by the Ottomans. After the Bulgarian army regained the lost ground, it was gone.

As the Greeks who have witnessed all this with their own eyes, they naturally dare not surrender easily now, and can only fight and retreat, perhaps seeing that they are performing well.

Major General Vicky Clinton directly informed them of the situation by telegram. Due to the betrayal of the traitors, Syria could no longer be held.

Tell them directly that they can retreat to the rear, and Bulgaria will build a new line of defense in the Palestinian area. It even allowed the frontline troops to surrender to the Ottomans when necessary.

I have to say that misfortune is blessing, because of the hatred between the Greeks and the Ottoman Empire, most of these Greek colonial troops chose to resist, and they also chose to retreat immediately after receiving the order.

The colonial forces composed of Romanians and Montenegrins made a different choice and surrendered directly to the Ottomans. In their view, everyone is an ally, and the Ottomans will not do anything to them.

...

After paying more than 30,000 casualties, Hadre Pasha successfully occupied the Syrian area, but his good mood did not last long. As the front line stretched, their logistical supplies also began to have problems.

There is no way that the sea transportation has been cut off, so it can only be transported by 6 routes, but there is no railway yet. Using horse-drawn carriages to support a battle of nearly 700,000 troops is undoubtedly an astronomical figure.

However, the war continues. If there is no other way, we can only give priority to the transportation of weapons and ammunition, and some food must be collected on the spot.

"What? There is no food in Syria?" Hadrei Pasha said in disbelief

The quartermaster explained: "Yes, General, the Syrian region is not a grain-producing area in the first place, and it is normal that there are not many reserves. In addition, many granaries were destroyed during the war, so..."

Hadre Pasha said angrily: "Enough, won't you go to collect food? Bulgaria dares to immigrate so many people to Syria, so you must ensure that they eat?

Don't look at them by our previous standards. After years of development by the Bulgarians, the Syrian area is now a new granary! "

The quartermaster continued to explain: "General, all the land in Syria belongs to the Bulgarian agricultural company, and the local people are employed by them, and they are all paid wages. Naturally, the farmers do not have much food in their hands.

The Bulgarian agricultural company has already evacuated, and even the food has been transferred to other areas by them, so there is simply not enough food in Syria! "

Hadrei Pasha's face changed drastically, and after a moment of silence he said fiercely: "Let's do it according to our tradition!"

Hadrei Pasha also received a new-style education, and he also hated the Ottoman tradition, but now he couldn't help being cruel.

If they couldn't cut off the Suez Canal, the future of the Allies was in dire straits. The Allies were out of luck, could the Ottoman Empire survive alone?

Does the country not know the actual situation in Syria? Of course they knew it all, but everyone still took a chance and thought that the Bulgarians would provide them with enough food.

Of course, the religious fanatics in the country have long been preparing to cleanse the Syrian region. Now that the Ottoman government has cut off their food supply, their handwriting is naturally indispensable!
