Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Ferdinand is still ignorant of the impending internal struggle in Russia, which is one of the effects of his butterfly effect on the world.

Due to the rise of Bulgaria, the Russian Empire's external material transportation channels have not been cut off, and the Russian army's tolerance for domestic capitalists is not so high.

If there is no choice, that's all. Now that there is a better choice, why should they allow these capitalists to exploit?

This is not just a question of money. It can be solved by bribery. Problems with weapons and equipment are directly related to the victory or defeat on the battlefield, and it is also related to the safety of everyone's lives.

In this regard, the junior officers below will definitely not tolerate it. This time, the Air Force took the lead in challenging the capitalists. Is it because the Russian Air Force was established for a short period of time and is a gathering place for young soldiers?

It was their impetus that forced the top management of the Air Force to make this move. Since the Air Force dared to make this move, can the 6th Army and the Navy not keep up?

Obviously, these high-level generals are not fools. If anyone dares to stand up and speak for the capitalists now, they must be careful not to be shot on the battlefield.

Even if you have received money, you must now turn your face and deny your identity, and express to your subordinates that you and everyone along the way are resolutely opposed to these unscrupulous capitalists!

Perhaps Lieutenant General Nikolai Nikolaokas didn't think so much when he complained to the Tsar, otherwise he would not be so uneasy.

But Nicholas II was a sensible man, and he still had a little political consciousness. He knew that when the capitalists and guns met, the outcome was already doomed, so he clearly expressed his support for the Air Force.

As a tsar who can control the Russian Empire, Nicholas II's military literacy may not be enough, but his level of political struggle is at least 90%. In this regard, he is much stronger than Ferdinand's scum.

"Are you all ready?" asked Nicholas II

The middle-aged man said confidently: "Your Majesty, please rest assured,

Everything is under control! They all happily took the order and are organizing production! "

As an emperor, knowing that the military is about to clash with the capitalists, if he doesn't do something, is he still a qualified emperor?

Obviously, Nicholas II is about to cheat people. He seems to be planning to imitate Ferdinand and clean up the domestic worms. Unfortunately, he can't find a suitable person to take the blame, and he doesn't dare to take the blame.

The most important thing is that without this executive ability, the influence of the nobles and capitalists on Russia has already penetrated into every corner, which is not comparable to the newborn Bulgaria!

Therefore, we can only make small troubles, and use the military's hands to kill a few political opponents, which is also a good choice for Nicholas II.

As long as those who are attentive pay a little attention, the capitalists and aristocrats who usually dance most like to open a parliament or have expressed their democratic and republican ideas are among them.

The Russian Empire has begun to surging undercurrents. As long as the military is in trouble, these people will die without a place to die!

...

In Poland, there is a funny battle that shocked the world at this time - Russian cavalry vs German armored vehicles!

The brave and fearless Cossack cavalry, after receiving the order of Admiral Alexei Alexievich Brusilov, went to Poland to stop the German army.

Under normal circumstances, it is very suitable for cavalry to swing on the Great Plains of Poland. It is a pity that the current situation is not normal. The Germans have opened their minds and wrapped the car with steel plate as an armored vehicle.

Lieutenant Colonel Mazak, head of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment of the 8th Cavalry Division, was a very typical Cossack "warrior", who fought on a rampage to rival wherever he went.

To put it simply, he is a complete reckless man. In addition to cutting the enemy when he sees it, he has all the seven skills and six skills in the formation of troops, and the last one is missing.

Mazak was leading the army to find the enemy, when the sentinel suddenly came back and reported, "Captain, there seems to be an enemy convoy ahead. There are about three or four hundred people. Are we going to vote for him?"

The Cossack cavalry had always depended on robbery for a living, and if they had waited for the tsarist government's salaries, they would have starved to death.

Now that he encountered the enemy's transport team, Lieutenant Colonel Mazak said without hesitation: "What nonsense is that? Just lead the way ahead and get a vote!"

Then, he took the troops and arrogantly went to rob the German "transport team".

It was supposed to be a joke from World War II: "Polish cavalry charged German tanks"! Now that the Cossacks were the first to do it, they charged the German army, only to be greeted by armored vehicles that did pop up out of nowhere.

Of course, don't expect these Cossack cavalrymen who have just come out of the tribe to be able to distinguish the difference between transport vehicles and armored vehicles. Aren't they all iron lumps in their eyes?

The results are self-evident, the battlefield was full of flesh and blood for a while, but unfortunately all of them were Cossack cavalry. Facts have proved that flesh and blood are no match for the torrent of steel.

Of course, the joke ends soon, and idiots are only a minority after all. Except for the local turtle commander who led his troops to make a joke and lost his life, the Cossack cavalry behind him all learned the lesson of this blood.

However, Ferdinand believes that the number of German armored vehicles is not enough, and the chances of them encountering are too small, otherwise such jokes will emerge in endlessly.

After all, the ignorant are fearless. You can't expect an army where most soldiers have never seen a car to be able to figure out the difference between an armored vehicle and an ordinary transport vehicle!

This little episode passed quickly, and the Russian cavalry still delayed the German march, and that was all.

In the era of hot weapons, on the vast plains, it was not so easy for cavalry to deal with infantry. The most important thing is that you can't rush up. It's okay to harass the German army. If you face it head-to-head, it will be a kill.

So Admiral Alexei Alexievich Brusilov was destined to be disappointed. The Cossacks were not as powerful as he thought, at least they didn't have much room to play against the Germans.

That's all, anyway, it also delayed the progress of the German army, and bought time for him to dispatch troops.

But another bad news came, and Alexei Alexievich Brusilov asked in disbelief: "What? The Northern Front is asking us for help?"

In terms of strength, the Northern Front has the largest number and the strongest firepower. Under normal circumstances, their total strength of more than two million is enough to deal with any sudden situation.

The staff explained: "Yes, General! General Alexei Andreevich Polivanov personally sent a telegram for help, saying that the Germans had launched a full-scale attack on them, and that the defenses of the Northern Front had blocked them. don't stop!"

Alexey Alexievich Brusilov couldn't help but think of two words: "Rice bucket!"

The Western Front has had enough troubles, how can they still have the ability to rescue them? It is no wonder that Alexei Alexievich Brusilov was about to fire. The main force of the German army was still on his side. He hadn't called for help yet. As a result, the northern front army could not stand it.

In fact, he wronged the Northern Front Army. It wasn't because their soldiers were not brave enough to fight, or because their officers commanded indiscriminately. It was because of the lack of logistical supplies, insufficient weapons and ammunition, insufficient food, and insufficient medicine... They lacked almost all strategic materials. !

No way, who told them to attack East Prussia? During the winter battle, both the Western Front and the Southwest Front entered the hinterland of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Western Front also occupied part of German Poland.

But the Northern Front Army was struggling. They just pushed the front line forward for so many ten miles, and they were beaten back by the Germans. Even if they wanted to eat the enemy, they had to fight in!

That's all, the most important thing is the distribution of logistics supplies, and they suffer again. The materials assisted by the Allied Powers first passed through the defense area of ​​the Southwest Front, then entered the defense area of ​​the Western Front, and finally reached their hands.

The result is self-evident, everyone is not a fool, the good things have been picked out in front, leaving them all crooked melons and cracked dates!

That's not right, at least the high-quality rifles and artillery provided by Britain and France are mostly given to them, but unfortunately the weapons are out of ammunition now!

Therefore, among all the Russian troops on the Eastern Front, the Northern Front has the least weapons and ammunition, the lowest per capita food reserves, and the most lack of other strategic materials!

In this state, it would be against the sky for them to be able to wield five points of their combat power! Don't look at the fact that their soldiers are all new rifles, but unfortunately they don't have bullets and can only be used as fire sticks.

It is natural for them to be unable to withstand the German counter-offensive. After all, the soldiers have no bullets. Apart from fighting with bayonets, they can only run away or surrender!

No matter which choice you choose, the result is the same - the position cannot be held!

Alexei Alexievich Brusilov said with a livid face: "Tell them that our Western Front is also powerless, the Germans have torn our defense lines, we are closing the gap, and we have no ability. Help them!"

"Yes!" replied the staff officer who took the telegram

Now the Western Front is really helpless, not only they, but also the Southwest Front next door is having a hard time.

The limelight is not so good. As the Russian army with the most brilliant results in the winter offensive, it is naturally the army with the most casualties. A large number of veteran casualties have been replaced by new recruits, and the combat effectiveness has plummeted.

They caught up with the counterattack of the Allies again. Even if they were only facing the main force of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they still suffered heavy casualties and had to start shrinking the defense line.

Under this background, everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, what can they do to help the friendly army? In the end, the ball was still kicked to the Russian High Command, and Nicholas II's good mood suddenly disappeared.

The current situation is already very bad, even if he orders the entire army to withdraw now, he will not be able to withdraw.

The German-Austrian coalition was right in front of them. If they dared to retreat, they would be wronged if they didn't get defeated by the Germans.

So now the defense line must be defended, even if the defense line is contracted, it must be taken slowly, and the enemy must not be exposed!

Nicholas II asked with a headache: "What plan does the staff have to change the current unfavorable situation?"

Now Nicholas II suddenly regrets being the supreme commander himself. He finds that his military capabilities are really not enough, at least he can't solve the current situation!

Chief of General Staff Mikhail Vasilievich Alexeyev said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the problem on the front line is mainly the lack of logistical supplies, unless we can solve the logistical supply of the front line, otherwise we cannot change the current situation. in an embarrassing situation!"

Nicholas II said dissatisfiedly: "Then we don't have to do anything now? Just wait quietly for the defeat of the front line?"

Mikhail Vasilievich Alexeyev bit the bullet and said: "Of course not. Now, in addition to sending as much supplies as possible to the front line, we must continue to mobilize in case of unexpected events!"

Obviously his answer did not satisfy Nicholas II, which undoubtedly told him: prepare for the aftermath, the front has been defeated!

"Is there no other way?" Nicholas II turned his attention to the Minister of the 6th Army, hoping that he would have a better way.

Unfortunately, the answer of Vladimir Alexandrovich Sukhomlinov, the minister of the 6th Army, was doomed to disappoint him.

"Your Majesty, there is no way to do it, but the thirst cannot be quenched in the distance, so let's mobilize the whole country immediately!"

Obviously, the attitude of the Minister of the 6th Army is even more pessimistic. He believes that the Russian army on the front line will not last long, and the war with no ammunition and food is impossible to continue!
