Bulgarian Empire

Vol 4 Chapter 23: , The Second Balkan War broke out

If you don’t make a move, do your best!

In order to attack the Asia Minor Peninsula, this time Bulgaria formed three front armies, totaling more than 600,000 people, and launched an attack on three battlefields at the same time, regardless of priority.

The Ottomans couldn't stand the force of Bulgaria. What looks like is what looks like, and it will be revealed as soon as it is on the battlefield!

Although the Ottoman Empire had more than 300,000 new armies, in essence, this modern army was no different from the old-fashioned army. What was going on was nothing, and officers were 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.

However, the other two landing points were not the focus of the Ottoman Empire’s defenses. Karaburun Port has already fallen, and the Third Front Army has already approached Izmir, the important town of the Ottomans.

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

Well, it was originally just to attract the bait of the anti-protection alliance, how could Ferdinand really give his best?

As long as the Ottoman government is given enough pressure to make the Anti-Protection League think that the main force of Bulgaria is already deep in Asia Minor, there is no need to fight the Turks!

At this time, the Sudanese government can't stand it anymore. Even if Bulgaria can't occupy the Asia Minor peninsula if it goes down like this, the most elite plains in the coastal area will definitely be unprotected!

The new Minister of War Zhan Zhan Keke said: "The great Sudan, the Bulgarians have already taken the bait, should we ask our allies for help?"

Sultan said with a gloomy face: "Trash, it's a bunch of trash! Bulgaria has just started to exert its strength, you can't stop it..."

Sultan vented his dissatisfaction for a while, and chose to ask for help from the Anti-Protection League. Otherwise, if the war is allowed to go on in their own homeland, even if they can win in the end, they will suffer heavy losses!

Unfortunately, whether it is George I of Greece, Carol I of Romania, or Nicholas I of Montenegro, they are not fools.

How can the Three Kingdoms do the matter of taking millet from the fire? Either the Bulgarian army has been hit **** the Asia Minor Peninsula, or the Bulgarians have penetrated into Asia Minor and have been restrained, otherwise, don't think of them coming out!

In case it is launched here, Bulgaria will directly withdraw its troops from Asia Minor. It will be too late for the three countries to cry, so everyone agreed that the Ottoman Empire should make sacrifices for the alliance and drag the main force of the Bulgarian army!

Time passed in a hurry, and July entered.

At this time, the days of the Ottoman Empire were already sad. Izmir to the west has fallen, Manisa has also been lost, Salihli is crumbling.

Bandemar, on the southern shore of the Marmara Sea, is now dead, and Lake Kush has become Ferdinand’s footbath.

Even worse along the Black Sea, the important military site was lost in Skudal, and the Bosphorus became Bulgaria’s possession.

The loss of the site can still be endured by the Sudanese government. Anyway, the Ottoman Empire is large enough to have land!

The problem is the loss of the army, which makes the Sudanese government tricky. After Bulgaria launched the Landing War, in just one month, the Ottoman Empire’s 300,000 new-style troops lost half, and the old-fashioned troops lost countless!

No way, ordinary people do not have the idea of ​​going to the country with the Sudanese government, and many people even regard the Bulgarian army as a liberator.

Without the support of the people, conscription is a big problem! Don't look at the Ottoman Empire with a population of more than 20 million, but every time there is conscription, anyone who has some news hides.

Who is the Ottoman Empire? Military pay has been deducted. Soldiers often can't even fill their stomachs. Who wants to do it?

As for nationalism and ism? Shenma Dongdong, can you eat it?

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

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

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

If the Anti-Protection League does not participate in the war, we will be ready to end the war! "

He is not nonsense. Since Bulgaria landed on the Asia Minor Peninsula, various contradictions previously suppressed by the Sudanese government have begun to erupt.

Of course, Ferdinand could not forget to use political means at the same time of military attack.

For example, to provide loans to the major rebels of the Ottoman Empire, and promise that as long as they complete independence, Bulgaria will recognize it as soon as possible.

Even asking the Allied nations to support their nation-building together is not impossible to negotiate. Anyway, it was a bad check, and Ferdinand didn't know exactly how many preferential terms the intelligence department issued.

The consequence is that now the Ottoman Empire is full of smoke!

...

The possible collapse of the Ottoman Empire is no longer a secret, anyone with a slight eye knows it.

The Secretary of the Army Popov agitated: "Your Majesty, if this war continues, the Ottoman Empire will inevitably collapse and disintegrate within half a year at most!

If we attack with all our strength, this time will be even shorter. It only takes two months. We can conquer Ankara in less than a month and a half. By then, Asia Minor will be in our pocket! "

Yes, at this juncture where the Ottoman Empire may collapse at any time, Ferdinand actually asked the military to slow down the offensive, which naturally made the military very puzzled.

Ferdinand asked, "What then? After eating Asia Minor, what about the millions of people on the peninsula?

Once the Ottoman Empire collapses, the great powers will surely flock to us, and we have reached the limit for acquiring Asia Minor.

Then we will have to work for these millions of people every day, every day, like the current Ottoman Empire, every day is plagued by rebellion? "

Popov asked suspiciously: "Aren't they all deported? Just like we did before?"

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

It is now the 20th century. Nationalism has begun to awaken. In the future, we have to find a way to expand our territory and find a new piece of land for the owner of the original land to live in, otherwise the internal conflicts alone will be enough to cause collapse! "

The more he said, the more depressed Ferdinand wanted to find a place to survive for his enemies? This is also news across the century!

But countless examples from later generations told him that if we don’t do this, the domestic conflicts will explode sooner or later!

Couldn't he be compiling a national origin and withdraw from the Turks? That would be too nonsense!

Because of Tripoli’s relations, Bulgaria’s relations with Italy also became tense. On July 6, the Italians propagated a month-long military exercise in the Mediterranean region.

Oh, this is the Italians. In order to cheer up the anti-protection alliance, the Italians did their best to directly block the return of the Bulgarian navy. UU Kanshu www.uukansshu.com created a blockade for the old Greek fleet. Opportunity in the Aegean Sea!

The actions of the Italians undoubtedly gave the anti-protection alliance a boost. If the Italians were blocking the coastline, the Bulgarian navy would be absent.

Then after the Anti-Protection League started the war, the Bulgarian army in Salehli-could not return to the country to participate in the war!

The Ottoman Empire also only needs to concentrate its forces and drag the other two roads, which will greatly reduce the military pressure on the anti-protection alliance.

The only fly in the ointment is that only a short period of one month!

The abnormal behavior of the Italians attracted the attention of the Germans. They did not believe that the Italians could really blockade 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 asks allies for help, will the Italians let it go or not?

However, the actions of the Italians, after all, did indeed reduce the military pressure on the anti-protection alliance, and the Germans did not say anything.

...

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

Ferdinand smiled slightly and said with satisfaction: "Oh, Yuer has finally taken the bait! Let me know, I'm going to the Congress to speak later!"

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

The weak eat the strong, the fittest survive!

This is the rule of survival in the era 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!
