Struggle in Russia

Edward's breakout operation ended in failure. The artillery captain, who was obsessed with promotion, was hit in the back of the head by a stray bullet. His face was gone, leaving only a bloody hole.

As for his poor subordinates, they were either shot to death or had their heads chopped off. A few poor men who tried to kneel down and surrender were dragged down and killed.

"It's finally over," Vishnyak sighed while inspecting the six captured 12-pound cannons. "How are the casualties?"

Boris chuckled: "Two of our brothers were killed in battle, and the rest were slightly injured. Damn the British guys still have some skills."

Vishniak nodded. Compared with the Turks, the British army's combat effectiveness has improved to a higher level. Even a small number of artillery can cause a lot of trouble. One can imagine how troublesome it will be after encountering the main force of the British army on the battlefield.

Fortunately, this is not their problem for the time being. The one who needs to worry about this is Duke Mikhail. According to Bulgarian intelligence, about 50,000 British troops have arrived at the Danube River line. Moreover, there was a steady stream of main forces of the British and French coalition advancing towards the Danube River.

"Where are the Bulgarians? What's going on with them?" Vishnyak asked again.

Boris roared again: "Them? Thousands of people were killed or injured. If they only have this level, they would be embarrassed to bully the Turks!"

Vishniak nodded and did not criticize the Bulgarian's performance too much. On the one hand, because they are indeed just a group of rookies who have received the most basic military training, this behavior is very normal.

On the other hand, although the Bulgarians are allies, they are by no means close allies. The political stance of these guys is hard to say. They have been swinging from left to right. God knows which side they will be on in the future.

So even if their performance is not good, Vishniak will not talk too much, after all, they are not one of his own!

"Hurry up and take stock of the supplies. Be careful of the Bulgarians trying to trick us. We have paid the price with our lives and blood, and we cannot let them fool us!"

Boris completely agreed, and immediately sent a few capable subordinates to start supervising the inventory of materials. It was almost dawn before they roughly figured out how much they had harvested.

"There are two thousand Miné rifles unopened and hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition. As for food and other supplies, there is not much difference with the Bulgarian intelligence."

While recording the harvest in his notebook, Vishnyak asked: "You specifically told me about the Migne rifle. Did the Bulgarians have any ideas?"

"Yes, they want some of it!"

Vishnyak snorted: "Tell them that according to the terms negotiated before. The artillery belongs to them, and all other weapons and ammunition belong to us. If you want the Migne rifle, you can either buy it with money or use their share of the harvest." Come and arrive.”

Boris smiled: "That's what I told them, these grandsons still want to take advantage of us, hum!"

Vishnyak also curled his lips, and to be honest, if he didn't have to rely on the Bulgarians to provide intelligence and logistical support in the future, he really didn't want to share the benefits with them because of their performance tonight. It's a mess, but you still have the nerve to ask for things, and you want to eat shit!

The military organizational capabilities of the Turks are indeed increasingly unsuitable for modern warfare. Their military organizational capabilities are still at the level of the 17th century. In short, they were extremely slow to respond to the situation of the war. Sometimes they did not even know where their troops were, let alone the logistical supplies that they considered not important at all and would not cause problems at all.

It was not until a week later that the frontline commander, who had been unable to receive the supplies, belatedly inquired about the status of the supply convoy. After checking for three days, I discovered that I had not received any news from the team for several days.

Gu Hao

"What's going on? Such a large convoy, with hundreds of vehicles and more than 2,000 people, disappeared out of thin air!"

"Can anyone tell me why no one noticed they were missing!"

Of course, no one can answer this question, not even the boss, the commander, cares about it, and the minions below are naturally less likely to care.

After the Turkish commander lost his temper, he ordered someone to immediately investigate, and this investigation revealed a big problem.

"What? Four supply convoys have disappeared for no reason in a row? Why didn't you report it earlier? What? We didn't find it! Are the people in the logistics department just for free? I want to kill that idiot!"

The disappearance of four supply convoys is a big deal, involving hundreds of tons of supplies. Most of these supplies are aid from Britain and France. How can they explain to the British and French dads that they disappeared for no reason!

"There is also a British artillery battery that has also disappeared. You see..."

"What a fart!"

Now the Turkish commander was really furious. It was okay to get some supplies, but if the British were lost, it would be a big problem.

"Give me a thorough investigation. You must find out where the people and materials were lost. I want to see who is so bold!"

In fact, the Turkish commander had suspicions in his mind, and the Bulgarians were highly suspicious. These guys have been alienated from the empire from the beginning. If the imperial soldiers hadn't come to the border, these bastards would have rebelled long ago.

The Bulgarians are quite capable of doing some sneaky tricks, so there's nothing wrong with checking them out!

And the Turkish commanders just intended to use this to beat the Bulgarians. In the past, when they took down a group of bandits in Bulgaria led by Russia and Austria, they would shout and kill them, saying that they abused and enslaved Bulgaria.

And now that the Bulgarians committed suicide and it was blamed on the British, I think the British will definitely support this time and teach them a lesson, right?

"Might the Bulgarians have something to do with the disappearance of our artillery?"

The British are indeed shocked by this, but if you want to say that they will completely side with Turkey, it is not necessarily true.

The British did not completely believe what the Turks said. After all, it was an indisputable fact that the Turks hated the Bulgarians. If the Bulgarians had not caused trouble, this war would not have broken out at all.

Therefore, it is entirely possible for the Turks to find an opportunity and fabricate an excuse to clean up Bulgaria. But for the British, it is one thing to help Turkey resist Russia, and the problem of the Bulgarians is another matter.

An independent Bulgaria was acceptable to the British, as long as the Bulgarians were subservient to the British. In any case, they will support anyone who can bring benefits to the British Empire.

Therefore, the British did not react strongly to the Turks' small actions. They only asked the Turkish side to find out the truth as soon as possible, and did not do anything else...
