Mediterranean Hegemony Road

If you don't make a move, you'll do your best as soon as you make a move!

In order to attack the Asia Minor peninsula, this time Bulgaria formed a total of three fronts with a total of more than 600,000 people, regardless of priority, and launched attacks on three battlefields at the same time.

The Ottomans couldn't stand Bulgaria's effort. What it looks like is what it looks like, as soon as it hits the battlefield, its true form is revealed!

Although the Ottoman Empire has more than 300,000 new-style armies, in essence, this modern army is no different from the old-fashioned army. Those who eat empty sounds are still empty, and officers are still monopolized by nobles!

However, due to the replacement of better weapons and equipment, the combat effectiveness was greatly improved than before, and the Bulgarian landing army in Bandemar was temporarily blocked by them.

But the other two landing points, because they are not the focus of the Ottoman Empire's defense, the Port of Karaburun has been occupied, and the Third Front Army has already entered Izmir, the important town of the Ottomans.

Zonguldak was not much better. After the successful landing, the First Front Army did not blindly march towards Ankara, but instead expanded its territory, as if I was not leaving!

Well, it was just pretending to attract the anti-guarantee alliance to take the bait. How could Ferdinand really do his best?

As long as you put enough pressure on the Ottoman government to make the anti-guarantee alliance think that the main force of Bulgaria has been deeply trapped in the Asia Minor peninsula, there is no need to fight with the Turks now!

At this time, the Sudanese government couldn't take it anymore. Even if Bulgaria could not occupy the Asia Minor Peninsula, the most elite plains in the coastal areas would definitely not be able to keep it!

The new Minister of War Zhan Zhankeke said: "Great Sultan, the Bulgarians have taken the bait, should we ask our allies for help?"

I saw the Sultan said gloomily: "Trash, it's all a bunch of trash! Bulgaria has just exerted its strength, you can't stop it..."

The sultan vented his dissatisfaction for a while, and still chose to ask the Anti-Protection Alliance for help, otherwise they would let the war go on in their own country, and even if they could win in the end, they would suffer heavy losses!

Unfortunately, neither George I of Greece, Carol I of Romania, nor Nicholas I of Montenegro, are not fools.

How could the Three Kingdoms do the matter of taking grain from the fire? Either the Bulgarian Army was hit hard in the Asia Minor peninsula, or the Bulgarians had already penetrated deep into the Asia Minor peninsula and were pinned down, otherwise don't even think about them coming out!

If this side is launched, Bulgaria will withdraw its troops directly from the Asia Minor peninsula, and it will be too late for the three countries to cry, so everyone agrees that the Ottoman Empire should make sacrifices for the alliance and hold back the main force of the Bulgarian army!

Time flies by, and in a flash, it's July.

At this point, the Ottoman Empire had a very difficult time. Izmir to the west has fallen, Manisa is lost, and Salihli is crumbling.

Bandemar, on the south bank of the Marmara Sea, is now finished, and Lake Kush has become Ferdinand's footbath.

It was even worse along the Black Sea, where an important military location was lost in Skudar, and the Bosphorus became Bulgaria's possession.

The Sultan government can still bear the loss of the site. Anyway, the Ottoman Empire is big enough to have land!

The problem is the loss of the army,

This made the Sudanese government difficult. After Bulgaria launched the landing war, in just one month, the 300,000 new troops of the Ottoman Empire lost half of them, and the losses of the old-fashioned troops were countless!

No way, ordinary people have no idea of ​​going to the national disaster with the Sudanese government, and many people even regard the Bulgarian army as liberators.

Without the support of the people, conscription is a big problem! Don't look at the Ottoman Empire, which also has a population of more than 20 million, but every time it is about to be recruited, anyone who has a bit of news hides.

Who is the Ottoman Empire ****? Military salaries have been deducted, and soldiers often can't even fill their stomachs. Who wants to do it?

As for nationalism and doctrine? God Ma Dongdong, can I eat it?

Belief? Then you have to be even more careful, maybe they will fight first!

As for patriotic youth? Sorry, the country people love may not be the Ottoman Empire. At least except for the Turkish nobles, most of the people have no sense of belonging to this country!

The Prime Minister said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, we can't fight any more, otherwise we may not wait for the end of the war, and the government will be finished!

If the anti-guarantee alliance does not participate in the war, we will be ready to end the war! "

He is not talking nonsense. Since Bulgaria landed on the Asia Minor peninsula, various contradictions that were suppressed by the Sudanese government have begun to erupt.

While Ferdinand was on a military offensive, he certainly couldn't forget to use political means.

For example, it provided loans to the major rebels of the Ottoman Empire, and promised that as long as they completed their independence, Bulgaria would recognize them as soon as possible.

It is not impossible to negotiate even for the Allied countries to support their founding. Anyway, it's all empty promises, and Ferdinand doesn't know how many preferential conditions the intelligence department has issued.

The consequence is that now the territory of the Ottoman Empire is full of wolves!

...

The fact that the Ottoman Empire might collapse is no longer a secret, and anyone with a little discernment knows it.

The Minister of War Popov urged: "Your Majesty, if this war continues, it will only take half a year at most, and the Ottoman Empire will inevitably collapse and disintegrate!

If we attack with all our strength, this time will be even shorter. It will only take two months. We will be able to conquer Ankara in less than a month and a half. By then, the Asia Minor peninsula will be ours! "

That's right, at this juncture where the Ottoman Empire could collapse at any time, Ferdinand actually asked the military to slow down the offensive, which naturally puzzled the military.

Ferdinand asked back: "Then what? After the Asia Minor peninsula is eaten, what will happen to the millions of people on the peninsula?

Once the Ottoman Empire collapses, the great powers will surely swarm, and we have reached the limit of acquiring the peninsula of Asia Minor.

Then we will have to worry about these millions of people every day, just like the current Ottoman Empire, plagued by rebellions every day? "

Popov asked suspiciously: "Isn't it all deportation? Just like what we did before?"

Ferdinand shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Time! The current international situation cannot give us so much time to digest the Asia Minor Peninsula!

It is now the 20th century, and nationalism has begun to awaken. In the future, if we want to expand our territory, we have to find a way to find a new piece of land for the original owner of the land to live in, otherwise the internal contradictions alone are enough to make people collapse! "

The more he talked, the more depressed Ferdinand felt. He wanted to find a place to live for his enemies? This is cross-century news!

But the countless examples of later generations told him that if he did not do this, the ethnic conflicts in the country would explode sooner or later!

Can't he make up a national origin and withdraw from the relationship with the Turks? That's too nonsense!

Relations between Bulgaria and Italy have also been strained because of Tripoli, and on July 6, the Italians advertised a month-long military exercise in the Mediterranean.

Oh, this is the action of the Italians. In order to cheer up the anti-guarantee alliance, the Italians did their best to directly block the return of the Bulgarian Navy, creating an opportunity for the Greek fleet to block the Aegean Sea!

The actions of the Italians have undoubtedly given a boost to the anti-guarantee alliance. If the Italians block the coastline, the Bulgarian Navy will be absent.

Then the Bulgarian army in Salihli - after the war of the anti-guarantee alliance - could not return to the country to fight!

The Ottoman Empire only needs to concentrate its forces and hold the other two roads, which will greatly reduce the military pressure on the Anti-Protection Alliance.

The only fly in the ointment is that there is only one short month!

The unusual behavior of the Italians caught the attention of the Germans, who did not believe that the Italians could really block the Bulgarian Navy for a month!

After all, neither the British fleet in the Mediterranean nor the French fleet can match the Italians!

Once Bulgaria appeals to its allies, will the Italians let it go or not?

However, the actions of the Italians, after all, also relieved the military pressure of the anti-guarantee alliance, and the Germans did not say anything.

...

When Ferdinand was taking his lunch break, Foreign Minister Metev hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, Greece, Montenegro, and Romania have just declared war on us!"

Ferdinand smiled slightly and said with satisfaction: "Oh, the fish has finally taken the bait! Let me know, I'll be going to the Congress to give a speech later!"

Both sides are calculating each other, but at the end, they still have to speak with strength!

The weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive!

This is the law of survival in the age of imperialism. If Bulgaria wins, then the seventh largest power in Europe will be born; if it loses, then continue to mix in the position of quasi-powers. Status depends on strength!
