Bulgarian Empire

Vol 2 Chapter 55: Adrian Fort

After the First Army won the battle of the Kalagachi River, it did not stop its offensive. The Tenth and Fourteenth Divisions surrounded the "western gateway" of the Ottoman Empire-Adrian Fort (Edirne )!

Adrian Fort is located at the confluence of the Maritsa River and the Densa River. It is the crossing point of the Balkan-Istanbul and Aegean Railway. It has transportation and strategic significance.

After taking down Adrianople, the gateway to Constantinople opened!

At this time, Adrianople is already somewhat inconsistent with its name! The Ottoman Empire entered the second half of the 19th century, just like Wang Xiaoer's New Year, struggling! Even the normal military noise can't be paid on time, let alone the money to repair the fortress!

After the Balkan War broke out, the Ottoman talents temporarily took hold and repaired and strengthened the fortifications! At this time, there are still eight thousand defenders in the Adrian Fort, and the highest military commander is represented by Lieutenant Colonel Vixtopasa!

Noble lords, they are all gone now, and the morale of the army can be imagined! Lieutenant Colonel Victor Pasha also knew that Adrian Fort was impossible to defend. In addition to the morale of the army, the most important thing was the lack of material reserves!

The warehouses in the city, if they hadn't been privately leased to merchants by officials, would have long been able to run rats! As for the stock of strategic materials, which one should ask the ex-predecessor, he does not know anyway!

Just as the Bulgarian army was preparing to attack the city, an uninvited guest appeared at the headquarters!

Petrov, Chief of Staff of the First Army, looked at the visitor and asked in confusion, "I wonder if Mr. Victor Keith is coming here. Any advice?"

"Mr. Chief of Staff, I'm here for Adrianople! Now the high-ranking nobles in Adrianople have run away. The commander-in-chief of the city is Lieutenant Colonel Victor Pasha, and he has not yet commanded the entire army. Prestige, this is our chance!" Victor Keith said straightforwardly

Petrov said lightly: "Mr. Victor Kis, this is indeed good news. It is very beneficial for us to attack the city! But this news does not need you to go there in person, right?"

Victor Keith shook his head and said, "No! I mean, we might take down Adrianople without a **** battle!"

Seeing Petrov frowned, he explained: "Lieutenant Colonel Vixtopasa has another identity. He is a member of the Turkish Youth Party!

Since the Turkish Al-Shabaab failed to launch the coup, it was brutally suppressed by the Sudanese government, and the two sides have become endlessly dying!

In order to overthrow the dictatorship of the Sudanese government, the Turkish Youth Party has become desperate after a series of internal struggles!

Even the Armenian Revolutionary Party has cooperated with them again, basically as long as it is conducive to overthrowing the rule of the Sudanese government, they are willing to do it! "

Petrov asked suspiciously: "Even so, they can't directly cede Adrianople to us! Do you know that if the Sudanese government is defeated, the Balkans will have nothing to do with the Ottoman Empire?

Once it happens, the Sudanese government is absolutely impossible to let him go, and even his family will be implicated. Even if you threaten him with his identity as the Turkish Al-Shabaab, it is of no use! "

Victor Keith did not explain, but said indifferently: "Try it and there is nothing to lose? It may not be possible to make him surrender, but it is easy to let go of it!

The Ottoman Empire is a magical country. Now they are losing in battlefields everywhere. It doesn't matter if there is one more place. Some of them can get rid of sin! "

Petrov thought for a while and said, "Well, since your intelligence department is sure, go ahead! If you need anything, I can cooperate. But tomorrow night at the latest, we will still launch an attack!"

...

"It's been a long time since Lieutenant Colonel Vixtor Pasha!"

"Victor Kies, you still dare to show up. Now that the Sudanese government has all the wanted orders for you, do you think that now that the war breaks out, no one will take credit for you?" Victor Pasha sneered Say

Victor Keith turned a deaf ear to what he said, and found a chair to do it, and then said indifferently: "At least you won't! The enemy of the enemy is a friend. We may have differences, but at least we are overthrowing the Sudanese government. In terms of dictatorship, there are common topics!

As for disagreements? Let's wait until the Sudanese government is overthrown. Everyone can only hide in the dark place like this, worrying about revealing their identity at any time, and the life of being arrested by the secret police is not easy! "

After hearing what he said, Vixor Pasha’s tone softened, and he asked in confusion, "What can I do if you come to me? If it is a shortage of weapons and ammunition, I can provide you with a batch now!"

Victor Keith shook his head and said: "Since the failure of the Constantinople Uprising last time, the lackeys under the Sudanese government are like crazy. They stared at us so hard that they didn't start again. Opportunity!

I came to you this time to discuss a major event, a major event that can make the Sudanese government painful! "

Lieutenant Colonel Vixtor Pasha became more puzzled, and asked puzzled: "What's the matter?"

"You know the Balkan War!" Victor Keith

Vixtor rolled his eyes, and said to his heart: Isn't this nonsense, isn't I playing?

"If the Ottoman Empire is defeated, and it is a fiasco, can the rule of the Sudanese government be so stable? At that time, our chance will come!" Victor Keith said cautiously

After a moment of silence, Vixtor said coldly: "You are here to be a lobbyist for the Bulgarians! Don't dream, I can't surrender!"

Victor Keith explained: "Don't get me wrong, I just made a suggestion. UU reading www.uukanshu.com is not asking you to surrender! Do you still not know the situation in Adrianople? It is impossible at all. Stop the Bulgarian attack!

Instead of waiting to die here, you might as well break out. After all, the Sudanese government is not worth everyone's life for them! "

Lieutenant Colonel Vixtor Pasha was shaken. The dignity of the soldiers prevented him from surrendering, but it would be different if he broke through!

"Let's talk about it! What do you want me to do? What kind of benefits did the Bulgarians promise, worthy of your hard work?"

Victor Keith smiled and said: "It's very simple, as long as you leave a hole when you lay out the city defenses and let them in, if the city is broken, you can naturally take your men to break through!

This is good for everyone. You let the Bulgarians come in, and they let you leave, and everyone gets what they need!

And after the event is completed, the Bulgarians are still willing to donate one million levs to fund your activities!

As for me? Bulgaria promised to support our independence movement and mobilize their influence to let the Russians stand on our side! "

"You still really know how to do business, can I still refuse?" Lieutenant Colonel Vixtor Pasha said with a wry smile

"Why refuse? This is a win-win thing! We are not people who are afraid of death, but for the Sudanese government, let's forget it! Time is running out, you should go and prepare early, don't make the Al-Shabaab hard-won His family’s property was ruined for nothing!" Victor Keith said half-inducing and half-threatening

...

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as it was light, the Bulgarian army launched a full-scale attack on Adrianople, and broke the north gate within an hour of the war!

The defender, Lieutenant Colonel Vixtor Pasha, led the defenders to resist tenaciously for more than three hours. They were finally lost and forced to break out of the South Gate. At this point, the western gateway of the Ottoman Empire, Adrian Fort, fell!
