Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Kurist Reich, the commander of the Serbian Second Division, looked at the casualty report in his hand and was speechless for a long time!

In just one day, the Second Division had already lost a regiment of troops. Such casualties had already exceeded his heart's ability to bear!

This is completely different from the previous attack. This is the main force, and it is completely different from the miscellaneous army!

That's right, they have achieved good results. The defense line is more than ten miles long, and the Bulgarians who are under-strength can't bear it and retreat to the second line of defense!

After all, the machine gun is not invincible. After a long time, it will jam, and it will take time to load the ammunition. As long as you are willing to use human life to fill it, you can still seize the opportunity!

Curist Reich can be sure that as long as such an offensive lasts for two or three days, it can break through the enemy's defense line, but by then the second division will also be defeated!

As a senior officer, he naturally understood why he was desperate, but seeing the casualties in front of him, Kuristreich hesitated!

After thinking about it and thinking about it, I finally gritted my teeth and walked into the headquarters!

Suborovich glanced at him and asked suspiciously, Kurister Reich, what are you doing here when you don't command the war on the front line?

Kuristleich said in a pleading tone: General, this battle can't go on! Even if we can destroy the enemy in front of us, it won't change the outcome of Serbia's defeat. Stop the attack!

Suborovich stared at him and said angrily: Do you know what you are talking about now? Kuristledge, don't forget that you are a soldier! We have no choice, even if this The end of the war is doomed, and we must fight it too!

If we don't get a good result, Serbia will be doomed! It's really over!

We don't have the opportunity we had in 1886, the Bulgarians have already taken action against us, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire is also eyeing us!

If we can't show our determination and show them our courage, how long do you think Serbia can survive? ? Would you like to see the great Serbia sink again?

Curist Reich is silent, the political issues are beyond his ability!

Entering the 19th century, the great powers scrambled to expand all over the world. By now, the world has been almost divided up, and the expansion of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the Balkans is not a day or two!

Although they are still allies now, from the standpoint of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in this Bulgarian war, they want a weak Serbia!

You must know that there have always been people in Austria-Hungary who advocate the annexation of Serbia. Once Serbia shows a hint of weakness, then these people will pounce like hungry wolves!

By now, the Serbs have to fight, whether in the Niš area or in the Belgrade area, they must fight the Bulgarians!

However, Suborovich did not say that the decisive battle with the Bulgarians in Belgrade and the lengthening of the logistics supply line of the Bulgarians can also increase the odds of winning!

And as long as Austria-Hungary does not want Bulgaria to become bigger, it is likely to intervene!

It is obviously more in his personal interest to fight this battle in the Niš region and Bulgaria! Although there is still no way to win this war, in an environment where the whole country is defeated, but as long as he wins this battle, he will be a hero of Serbia!

Suborovic is ready to accept Serbia's defeat, and now he is no longer looking forward to winning this game!

Therefore, it is no longer important to preserve strength. Instead of being scolded as a traitor and betting on illusory luck, it is better to do everything possible to win this battle and gain more political capital!

Curist Reich was persuaded that he was not interested in the inside story behind it! the current situation,

It was still generally clear to him that Serbia had paid too much.

Suborovich is right about one thing, if people don't show their determination to defend their homeland and the country, it's hard to guarantee that they won't be divided up!

...

Ivan Christoph on the other side sighed and asked, How about the casualties of the troops? How long will it take for reinforcements to reach the battlefield?

The chief of staff did not answer directly, and said in a low tone: The situation is very bad, the Serbs have gone crazy, and if you continue to fight like this, even if you win, there is no value!

Dante Christophe: Well! From the perspective of national interests, it is in their best interest to immediately stop the war and preserve vitality!

From the point of view of personal interests, they can only fight! Neither the Serbian government far away in Belgrade, nor Suborovic close at hand, dared to propose peace talks!

The chief of staff said fiercely: Since they want to fight, let's do it for them! In one day, we paid more than 8,000 casualties, and they paid at least 40,000 to 50,000. Who can spend more?

Anyway, this afternoon, our reinforcements got off the train at Mijul Mountain and are rushing over. In an hour or two, the first reinforcements will arrive!

Dante Christophe lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said, That's it! According to the original plan, let go before dawn and give them the final blow!

...

The stalemate on the front line of Nis created an opportunity for Popov, leaving two regiments, plundering on the south bank of the Morava River, and the main force directly crossed the river and took Belgrade directly!

Alexander I is in a hurry, and the Serbian government is in a hurry! The worst thing happened, the Nis Armageddon started, and Suborovich was powerless to divide his troops!

The top officials of the Serbian government have now become ants on the hot pot, turning round and round!

In theory, there are still three new divisions in Belgrade, plus the king's guards, the strength exceeds 60,000, and it is completely possible to fight a battle!

In fact, the three new divisions are completely old, weak and sick, ranging from old men in their 50s or 60s to teenagers in 15 or 16. They are the main components of this army!

And only a simple queue training was carried out, and the guns were not fully equipped, so the combat effectiveness can be imagined!

The Guards are just like goods, they sound majestic! If he was really capable of fighting, the king of Milan, the father of Alexander I, would not be expelled from the throne!

There are more than 1,000 people in the whole army, and it's okay to put up a guard of honor. You don't have to hold out too much hope when it comes to fighting!

Looking at the deteriorating situation, the Prime Minister gritted his teeth and said, Your Majesty, now we have reached this stage. We can't fight it on our own. Let's ask the Austro-Hungarian Empire for help!
