Bulgarian Empire

The German-Austrian border has now gathered more than 900,000 Allied forces, and this number is still increasing. As the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces in this war, Admiral Dante Christophe is vigorously pointing out the country.

This battle may be the last battle in his life. Although the scale may not be very large, the specifications are high!

Marshal Konrad of the Austro-Hungarian Empire had to be his assistant, quite a feeling of 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi!

Your Excellency, Commander, this is information from the Germans on the opposite side. A staff officer came over and handed him a document while speaking.

Dante-Christoff took the document, tore off the sealing line, took out the document, and looked at it carefully.

The strength of the Germans is slightly stronger than he imagined. The Hindenburg government has carried out extreme mobilization across the country. Men aged 15 to 65 are required to join the Wood Army. The scale has expanded again by two hundred Ten thousand, but the combat effectiveness can only be known by fighting.

To put it simply, apart from those who work in special positions, the people of Germany can no longer find healthy young men. With a population of more than 60 million, more than 10 million people have been mobilized to join the war. This is unprecedented. !

No way, it is now 1917, and the World War has only been fought for more than two years. The Germans are naturally stronger than in history, mainly because they can last for a while in terms of supplies, and last year they robbed the Russians. , there is no hunger in the country, so naturally there will be no naval uprising!

In this context, the Hindenburg government can take another gamble, whether it wins the German Empire or the German Empire, and losing it will not be worse than surrendering now.

Dante-Christopher ordered: You go immediately and summon the officers above the division commander to come over for a meeting in the afternoon!

The Germans chose to fight another war, which is not surprising. After all, the war has been going on until now, and the flames of war have been burning in other countries, and their strength still exists.

Even if their army can't win the joint efforts of the four countries of Britain, France, Russia and Russia, the German army can still deal with any two of them alone!

That being the case, of course it was a last-ditch fight. In theory, as long as they were fast enough to defeat the British and French allied forces first, and then deal with Bulgaria and Russia, even if they couldn't win the war, they could end it decently.

The rudiment of blitzkrieg had already appeared in World War I, and it was used in the winter battle launched by the Russians last year. The Germans, who are good at learning, naturally wanted to borrow it.

...

Dante Christophe sat in his seat with a stern face, the air was filled with heavy and oppressive atmosphere, and the meeting room was silent. It's only been a while, but it feels like years to everyone!

Perhaps because he felt that it was almost done, Dante Christoph said in a very stern tone: From the information we have collected, the number of Germans on the opposite side is about 780,000, of which there are no more than five main divisions. The rest are militiamen recruited temporarily.

However, the German government has mobilized again in the rear and is still training. If we hit the Tehran area, it is estimated that we will face more than one million German troops.

Everyone knows the combat effectiveness of the German army. Even if we are facing second- and third-line troops, the combat effectiveness may not be worse than some of our troops!

Therefore, in this battle, I ask all of you to fight steadily and never allow the enemy to create opportunities for the enemy. Do you understand?

Everyone couldn't help but replied: Understood!

Apparently he was trying to build his prestige, the shadow of a famous tree, Dante Christophe has become one of the most famous generals in the Allied Powers now that the world war has progressed.

Having gone through hundreds of battles without losing a single defeat, this alone can overwhelm most of the arrogant soldiers. Now that he is so serious, he is obviously beating someone among them.

Conrad's face pulled down, tense as if it had been coated with paste, and there was no doubt that it was aimed at him.

However, the situation was stronger than others, so he still chose to endure it.

It is also inevitable for Dante Christophe to use him to gain power. With the end of the World War, the relationship between Bulgaria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the future will undoubtedly be impossible to return to normal. Since he is an enemy, if he offends, he will naturally be offended!

And most of the officers sitting here are from Bulgaria. Dante Christoph can't use them to stand up, right?

The Anglo-French coalition forces involved in this operation did not have many people at all, and the highest-ranking officer was only the division commander. Dante Christophe was too embarrassed to argue with others!

It's useless even if you insist on finding fault, even if you point your nose and scold them, people don't care. It's a common thing for superiors to scold subordinates in the army, and it's not shameful. Anyway, you can't pull them out and kill them!

Now that Conrad has admitted his counsel, it means that the Austro-Hungarian army will obey orders in this battle, and Dante Christoph will naturally not be able to continue to trouble him.

Very well, then let's get ready, three days later, on June 18, 1917, at 5:15 in the morning, the whole army launched a general offensive against the Germans.

However, it is not ruled out that unexpected situations will occur, and the time for the general attack will be advanced. You must be prepared to launch an attack at any time!

...

The allied forces of the Allied Powers are preparing, and the German army on the opposite side is naturally not idle. Now it is Marshal Leopold, Prince of Bavaria, who is in charge of the defensive battle on the southern front. Full name: Leopold Maximilian Joseph Maria Arnulf, the best general among the members of the royal family in World War I.

Now that the flames of war have reached South Germany, it is not surprising that he will be the commander of the southern front.

It's a pity that the prince who was born in Bavaria is not in a very good mood now. It is obvious that this battle on the southern front is a hard job, and the possibility of winning is very slim.

Otherwise, in the interest of the Bavarian crown, the position would have belonged to his nephew, Crown Prince Ruprecht Maria Luitpold Ferdinand.

Now to fight a war that is almost doomed to failure, only his uncle can fight, otherwise his nephew will have a difficult life after he inherits the throne, and it will even endanger their family's relationship with Bavaria. reign!

Although he became the coach, Crown Prince Ruprecht couldn't run away and became the chief of staff of the German army on the southern front. Obviously, this was the Hindenburg government's suppression of the Kingdom of Bavaria.

But they can't refuse, because they are even more worried that others will command this battle. As the leaders of South Germany, they have not been fighting with Prussia for a day or two. If they are cheated by the Prussian generals, where will they cry? go?

Crown Prince Ruprecht Maria Luitpold Ferdinand may not be familiar to everyone, but he has a title that is much more famous-King Robert I of England!

That's right, he was the heir to the British throne supported by most of the Jamesites, known by the Jamesites as King Robert I of England and Robert IV of Scotland.

To put it simply, if the Germans win this war, he can still go to England to be king, and the popular base is not bad at all!

(Note: The James faction is also the predecessor of the Liberal Party)

Well, that’s the end of the relationship between the European royal families. They themselves may not be able to figure it out. The author really has no way to figure it out.

To put it simply, the major kingdoms in South Germany are now preparing for a retreat. If Prussia hadn't grasped their lifeline, they would probably declare independence.

Now even though the Bavarian royal family has served as the commander-in-chief of the German army, this does not mean that they will be able to control all the troops. Most of the troops on the southern front are still in the hands of Prussia.

It is okay if these troops are ordered to fight against the Allied Powers, but if you want to turn against them, then don't think about it. The Hindenburg government relied on the army to usurp power, so it naturally controls the army very strictly.

...

Ruprecht said softly: Uncle, shall we continue to wait?

Leopold smiled bitterly and said: Now we have no choice but to wait for the outcome of the battle on the Western Front. Before that, we must block the attack of the Allied Powers, at least keep the Munich area, which is our foundation!

The two stopped the topic tacitly. Ever since William II was ostracized, members of the royal family have a strong sense of crisis.

Hindenburg even took advantage of the opportunity of the war to extend his hand into the army of the Kingdom of Bavaria and emptied their command power. Now without the order of the German General Staff, it would be very difficult for them to mobilize the army of the Kingdom.

Under such circumstances, they couldn't help but worry about it. What would they do if the Hindenburg government directly abolished the royal family after the war?

Regardless of whether the Hindenburg government had such an idea, they, who were born in the royal family, had to prevent the worst from happening, and the only thing that could give them a sense of security was the army!

...

Time passed by, and the Allied forces launched a fierce attack on the German positions. The battle was very tragic. Marshal Leopold took out his binoculars and watched a fresh life being swallowed up by the war. He knew that this could not go on like this.

If it continues, the future of the Kingdom of Bavaria will be gone. There is no doubt that most of these troops are recruited from the southern German region, and they are filled with a large number of young people and old people.

Marshal Leopold said coldly: Reorganize the troops in the rear. This time, they will be reorganized according to age. Those over 50 years old will form an army group, those over 40 years old will form another army group, and so on!

Ruprecht asked in surprise, Why?

Marshal Leopold said coldly: If the fight continues like this, the future of the Kingdom of Bavaria will be lost, and the future of the German Empire will also be exhausted. We have to make a choice for this country!

Ruprecht's complexion turned gray for an instant, and he said in horror, What? You're trying to make...

Marshal Leopold interrupted: That's right, old people are useless to this country. Bavaria can live without old men like us, but it cannot live without these young men!

Now more than 800,000 German troops have gathered on the southern front, and reinforcements are coming from the rear, but our main force has still not increased, and there is no possibility of victory at all.

Unless the enemy is deterred with blood, hurt them, and let the Allied Powers know that we must pay a painful price to perish, we can fight for the strongest conditions possible for this country!

According to statistics from the conscription office, among the more than 800,000 troops, nearly 350,000 are elderly people over the age of 50, and nearly 300,000 are youths under the age of 18. You know this What does it mean?

Ruprecht said with a livid face: This means that our country has reached its limit, and now we are fighting with the future of this country!

But uncle, no one is willing to be cannon fodder. If the army is reorganized like this, there may be a mutiny!

Leopold said coldly: Of course, if it is destined to die, there must be few people who are willing, even if it is to go to the battlefield, most of them will resist!

And I also know that the most combative troops are young people in their twenties. They are full of vitality, have ideals and pursuits, and can fight and sacrifice for their ideals!

And these old guys who are about to die are a bunch of waste who have no ideals, no pursuits, and only know how to eat and wait to die. They have no fighting power at all!

But people are forced out, and only under pressure can they stimulate their potential and exert their greatest combat effectiveness, do you understand?

Ruprecht nodded, expressing his understanding.

After a pause, Marshal Leopold said coldly: From now on, you are the commander-in-chief of this army. Once these veterans are exhausted, you can order to surrender!

Ruprecht seemed to be shocked by electricity, and asked in surprise: What? Uncle Leopold, what do you mean by that?

Leopold said earnestly: Don't forget, I am also an old man, so naturally I am going where I should go, otherwise how can I let these old cowards go to their deaths willingly?

Moreover, the war has progressed to the present, and the people also need an explanation. I, a useless old man, can just be used to appease the anger of the Bavarian people!

This is the responsibility of our royal family members, and no one can escape the responsibility! Born into the royal family, you must shoulder the burden. You are still young, the future of this country still needs you, and the family needs you too, understand?

Ruprecht nodded, and didn't say anything more. This is also the foundation of the ancient nobles - sacrifice, but he still couldn't help crying.

In this world war, the Kingdom of Bavaria has sacrificed too much, and the people's dissatisfaction with the government has reached the extreme. If this war fails, the Bavarian royal family may not escape.

But Leopold's choice was to use this defense of South Germany to bring life to the Bavarian royal family.

When the prince of the royal family dies in battle in order to protect the next generation of the country, this is enough to quell the anger of the people towards the royal family, and even get a lot of sympathy points, so that the people still support the royal family!

It can only be said that history has been changed beyond recognition by Ferdinand. The Bavarian royal family, which had already fallen into a deadlock, once again found a glimmer of life.

Even if some unlucky guy unfortunately killed the prince, the countries behind had to stand up to support the Bavarian royal family. Now that there are so many coalition forces of the Allied Powers, it is estimated that it will be a mess in the end, so in the end the Allied Powers have to give up pursuing the war against the Bavarian royal family Responsibility!

It can be said that Marshal Leopold has already taken all these factors into account, and he used his own sacrifice to win the future for the Bavarian royal family.

Even as his enemy, whether it is Britain, France or Bulgaria, he had to be promoted to the altar after the war, because his spirit of sacrifice is in line with the mainstream concept!

At this moment, Dante Christophe is still trying to find the loopholes in the enemy's defense line. He still doesn't know that he is about to become a stepping stone for the enemy and achieve the enemy's fame before and after his life!
