Bulgarian Empire

Entering mid-April, the world war has reached its climax. The two major alliances are fighting in the dark on the European continent. The daily casualties on both sides range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. The cruelest stage of the world war has already passed. It's coming!

On the western front, the two sides fought regardless of the outcome. Although the casualties of the British and French coalition forces were greater, they couldn't stand the large amount of cannon fodder, and the two sides still failed to achieve a strategic result.

On the Eastern Front, the Russians fought against the Germans this time, fully allowing the Germans to experience the power of crowd tactics. Even the casualty ratio of both sides reached 1:3, and even some areas even played an impressive 1:5. record, but Mao Xiong still expressed fearlessness!

Then the Germans chose a strategic retreat very wisely. At this time, fighting the Russians for consumption is completely courting death!

With the help of the Hungarians, the Bulgarian army, which broke out on the southern front, captured Budapest with lightning speed, and then went straight to Austria.

Marshal August von Mackensen, commander of the Allies on the southern front, decisively chose to run away, but he didn't even go to Austria, but went directly to Poland to join forces with the German troops on the eastern front.

It can be seen that he no longer trusts the Austro-Hungarian Empire. If the Vienna government turns back again, the last hundred thousand defeated soldiers here will not even have a chance to escape.

The war has been fought so far, the prestige of the military government headed by Hindenburg has dropped to the lowest point in history, and the generals on the front line are not so convinced by them.

Marshal August von Mackensen sent a direct telegram to criticize the government: claiming that it was the blind command of the General Staff that caused the current bad situation, and demanded that the Hindenburg government return the power to the Kaiser, not to Going further and further down the wrong path!

Obviously, he was desperate for the war, and hoped that the peace party headed by the Kaiser would come to power, negotiate with the Allied Powers, and end the war as soon as possible!

Now not only Marshal August von Mackensen, many generals in the German army have lost confidence in the war, even the famous Erich Ludendorff.

Of course, losing confidence in winning this war does not mean that they will surrender. Most of their opinions are to negotiate with the enemy and end this war decently!

Moreover, the Germans still have enough chips in their hands. On the western front, they still occupy the French mountainous territory and Belgium, which has been destroyed by the Germans; on the eastern front, the Germans still occupy Poland, Lithuania, Belarus and other regions.

These sites are the confidence of the Germans, and it is still possible to kill them if they are in a hurry. Of course, these words will scare the French and Belgium, and other countries are naturally fearless.

For example, the British, they were watching the fun, and if the Germans really turned these areas into a scorched earth, maybe they would have champagne to celebrate?

Ferdinand's attitude is similar to that of John Bull. If the Germans die together, the future of Europe will be peaceful. Once it happens, the French will never let them go, and there will be no future German decisions!

Even Ferdinand maliciously guessed that Nicholas II still expected all this to happen. At worst, the loss of these tens of millions of people can be exchanged for the death of Germany and France. The Russian Empire will dominate the European continent. Why not change it? Woolen cloth?

Only the French were hurt, they were threatened! Based on their domestic population base, if they lose more than 10 million people, they will be able to keep their current status. Don't even think about dominating the European continent!

Some people in the remaining neutral countries are calling for restraint on both sides, and some people hope that the two major alliances will fight harder, and it is best to die together.

It can be imagined that as long as the Germans choose the most extreme approach, neutral Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Denmark will all become new members of the Allied Powers, and interests will always be the best catalyst!

Of course, just like in history, it is nothing more than shouting slogans. If the German government really does it, the people below will also mutiny. After all, everyone has not lived enough.

...

Foreign Minister Megev said calmly: Your Majesty,

The Russians are asking us for help again, and they want us to supply them with two billion bullets, eighty million shells, two million rifles, five thousand cannons, two thousand planes, one thousand tanks, five thousand Tons of medicines, 5 million pieces of military uniforms, 1 million tons of canned food, and a lot of auxiliary materials!

Ferdinand has long been used to talking to Mao Xiong's lions. Of course, with their huge army size, this batch of supplies is really not much.

If it was before, Ferdinand would definitely refuse decisively, but now that the world war has come to an end, it would be a waste to keep a huge reserve of strategic materials.

But whether to sell it to the Russians, Ferdinand is still a little undecided. Now that the Russians are armed, the European continent will be in big trouble in the future!

After hesitating for a while, Ferdinand finally decided to sell, but not everything. For example, rifles and cannons can be sold casually, but ammunition must be sold in limited quantities!

As for what a huge Russian Empire would bring to the European continent, Ferdinand couldn't care so much. Aren't Britain and France very idle after the war? We must find something for them to do!

Ferdinand said solemnly: Cooperate with your Ministry of Foreign Affairs and let the representatives of the enterprises negotiate the price with them. Remember to go to our inventory.

Whether the Russians want to buy weapons, ammunition or other strategic materials, we can sell them now, but the Russians must pay first, and at the same time, we must limit the delivery time of the ammunition, so that Russia can have enough and not have too much remaining!

Yes, Your Majesty! replied the Foreign Minister Megeve.

Can't help Ferdinand being careless, with so many weapons and ammunition, it is impossible for Bulgaria to take out such spot goods for trading immediately, even if it uses strategic reserves!

With the current world situation, if the Germans can't bear the pressure from the outside world and suddenly surrender, these weapons and equipment will be worthless after the end of the world war. At that time, the bear will directly encounter financial difficulties and be unable to pay, and Bulgaria will be ready to cry!

This kind of thing happened a lot in history. Ferdinand didn't think that they would continue to pay because of their moral integrity!

Anyway, the Russians have just received a loan from John Bull, plus the proceeds from Nicholas II's house raids, and now their finances are in a rare period of prosperity.

...

Although the Allied Powers had the upper hand on the battlefield, the still strong Germans were still unwilling to fail!

On May 3, 1917, the German army launched a major counterattack on the western front, directly breaking through the French defense line, and occupying Soissons, pushing the front to the Marne River, only 30 kilometers away from Paris.

The world is in an uproar again. Are the Germans going to achieve a counterattack at the last minute?

The Paris crisis, the French government is in a hurry. They not only mobilized a large number of troops from all over the country to Paris, preparing to fight a Paris defense war, but also asked the Allied Powers for help!

Not only the French are anxious, but even the British are anxious. For John Bull, this world war has weakened the French enough. If the French are hit hard this time, the European continent will be dominated by the Russians after the war!

This is absolutely unacceptable to John Bull. He just killed a German. If there is another bear, will this day be over?

As a result, the London government gritted its teeth and transferred another fifteen infantry divisions from the country to Paris, France. They wanted to fight this Paris defense battle with the French!

Even Ferdinand was in a hurry, the French can't overturn now, otherwise the situation in continental Europe after the war would get out of control.

If the French did not come out to contain the British and Russians, Bulgaria's life would be difficult. Ferdinand is not yet ready to face the European overlord!

Facing the French's call for help, Ferdinand ordered that the front-line Bulgarian troops do not need to attack Vienna. Except for some troops left to contain Austria, the main force went directly to southern Austria to join forces with the Allied forces over there, and then Directly attack the German mainland to achieve the goal of besieging Wei and saving Zhao!

Dante Christophe, who received this order, felt bad instantly. He could have caught the soft persimmon of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but now he is going to head-to-head with Germany!

Fortunately, Ferdinand didn't let him fight the Germans desperately. As long as he can contain the German troops and break the siege of Paris by the French, his task will be completed.

Otherwise, Dante Christophe would really have to worry. Of course, he was not worried about whether he could defeat the Germans, but about the logistical supply of the troops!

Anyway, the troops in his hands are now more than 1.5 million, and hundreds of thousands of Allied forces from the Italian region have been brought together, an army of nearly 2 million people, the Germans can't eat it anyway, even the Germans It is very difficult for people to block their attacks!

After all, after the east and west lines, adding a south line, the Germans are also at a loss!

The domestic war potential is basically exhausted, not to mention the Eastern Front, which is already short of troops and is retreating all the way!

The only one with enough troops is the Western Front, but there are more British and French allied forces on the Western Front. Once the Germans transfer troops from the Western Front, Ferdinand's goal will be achieved!

At that time, the Germans will not only lose hope of overthrowing the French, but may also be pushed back by the British and French allied forces. This is a conspiracy!

Unless the Germans can conquer Paris before the Bulgarian army arrives, once the war reaches the German mainland, they will lose the war!

However, this plan also has a very fatal weakness, which is the logistical supply problem of the army. There are three directions that can provide logistical supplies to the army: Austria, Italy, and Switzerland.

Italy's transportation capacity is limited. Due to the war, the Italian railway transportation capacity is now less than half of what it was before the war, and it is barely enough to supply the Allied forces.

The Swiss are a neutral country. If it is just a small amount of material transportation, they may still have to sell the face of the Allied Powers, but forget about supplying this army!

To transport supplies from Austria, you have to cooperate with the Austrians, right? Now that the two sides are still enemies, asking them not to destroy the logistics supply line of the Bulgarian army is simply wishful thinking!

No matter how confident Dante Christophe is, he would not think that transporting from Austria can meet the consumption of the army on the battlefield when someone is sabotaging it!

Therefore, on the surface, this army with overwhelming fighting power actually has a very short duration of combat power output. In addition to being able to guarantee peak combat power in the first few days, it will later encounter the Russians in the East last year. Distress facing the line!

Well, it doesn’t really matter if this battle can’t be fought. As long as the Bulgarian army reaches the German border and occupies a few small cities by the way, it will boost the morale of the French and strengthen their determination to resist. OK!

In addition to helping the French to tide over the difficulties, the more important thing is to put pressure on the Germans to make them make wrong decisions. It is best to put down their arms stupidly just like in history, and then Bulgaria will make a lot of money!
