Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Facts have proved that Ahmed's choice was not wrong. They were just dispatched when they were discovered by Bulgarian intelligence personnel, but when the main force of the Bulgarian navy came over, they had already died.

After all, it is only a little distance, and it is not too simple to run. The fledgling Bulgarian Navy encountered the first problem!

It's not that you can't win the enemy, and it's not that you can't find the enemy! The problem is that the enemy doesn't fight you in the first place, and hides in the port as a turtle. It's hard to come out once, and before you go there, people shrink back again, what can you do with them?

Fortunately, the Ottoman Empire is really rotten, like a sieve, it can't keep secrets at all, Bulgaria can easily figure out the location of the main force of their navy, otherwise it will be more passive!

Ferdinand could not do anything about the slow action of the navy. If it was the 6th Army, there were still a few good generals in Bulgaria.

the navy? Just by looking at the rank of Admiral of the 6th Army, you can see what kind of situation they are in!

Oh, there is no way, the French and Russian instructors who train them are all grass-roots officers. Let them explore this kind of command and battle on their own!

The commander of this battle, Colonel Bourdia, was promoted by Ferdinand from a short man, and became the victorious captain of the Sofia.

He has served in the Russian Black Sea Fleet and participated in the Battle of Marmara Sea and the Battle of the Taiwan Strait. He is considered rich in combat experience, but it is really the first time to command a large fleet.

In addition to him, there are many people in the Bulgarian Navy who were dug from the low-level officers of the survivors of the Black Sea Fleet.

As for why only low-level officers were recruited, the reason was very simple. Although high-level officers had commanding ability, Ferdinand dared not use them!

Who knew that St. Petersburg suddenly gave them an order and who would they choose to listen to?

The grassroots officers are different.

At the same time as they were dug over, a family of young and old also immigrated here. The ability may not be enough, but the loyalty is high enough!

Burtia is under a lot of pressure now. This is the first time he has independently commanded the Grand Fleet to fight, and it is also the first battle of the Bulgarian Navy!

If he performs well in this battle, then his future is bright. Otherwise, he can prepare to retire. If he has an absolute strength advantage and can't show a record, is he still qualified to continue to mix in the army?

Due to repeated attempts, Bultia made a helpless decision-split! While continuing to attack, he watched the Ottoman Navy.

In fact, he should have made this decision a long time ago. After all, the Bulgarian Navy has one point, which is an irreparable advantage of the Ottoman Navy - degree!

With this advantage, no matter what, it will not be defeated by the Ottoman Navy one by one! On the contrary, it can attack the coastal cities of the Ottoman Empire. As long as you give me a few shots every now and then, it is enough for the Sudanese government to drink a pot!

The Bulgarian navy was directly split in two, with Burtia leading the flagship Sofia, along with two cruisers, three destroyers and four torpedo boats;

The remaining two miniature battleships and an armored cruiser operate along with two other destroyers and six torpedo boats!

According to this distribution, any side that encounters the main force of the Ottoman Navy can defeat the enemy. Oh, the old ships who bullied the Ottoman navy, weak firepower!

Due to the powerful firepower of the dreadnoughts, it can provide more powerful firepower cover for the Deng 6 troops, so the task of watching the Ottoman Navy falls on the head of the Second Squadron.

Oh, this is not without the intention of enticing the Ottoman Navy to come out for a decisive battle. After all, the dreadnoughts have all fallen off, and the main force of the Second Squadron is two coastal defense battleships, plus an armored cruiser.

Destroyers or something, still can't be used in the main naval battle! No, if you are dealing with ironclad ships from thirty or forty years ago, you can still try!

After the division, the Second Fleet first blocked Lesbos Island, pegged the port of Calabrun, blocked Izmir, and the First Fleet continued to cover the 6th Army to seize the island.

Now the right to choose is back in the hands of Ahmed Pasha again. If the Ottoman navy does not come out for a decisive battle, then when all the coastal islands fall, they will be trapped in Izmir and Karaburun!

Or take advantage of the Bulgarian navy to fight with the Second Fleet, and the blockade will naturally cease to exist. Of course, the consequences of losing are also very serious. It is a problem to run away!

Oh, Ahmed Pasha has a third option, which is to leave the Aegean Sea and go to their southern port of Icher, to avoid this war far away.

If you want to run away, it is not so safe now. The Bulgarian First Fleet is on Chios Island. Once the tracks are exposed, they will not be able to escape!

Moreover, for Ahmed Pasha personally, this is also a catastrophic blow. The hat of a traitor should never be taken off in this life, and the Sudanese government will not let him go!

Ahmed Pasha stared at the chart with his eyes fixed, speechless. In fact, the Ottoman Navy also had a port on the island, but after the war broke out, the cowardly navy gave up directly.

I chose the safest port. Safety is safe, but it is also limited in strategy. Once the island chain is lost, I will be trapped in Izmir!

Will Bulgaria's 6th Army board the 6th?

It is obvious that the problem of boarding the 6th sooner or later, the Ottoman Empire has such a long coastline in the Aegean Sea, there will always be several places suitable for boarding the 6th.

The Sudanese government has no confidence in the navy, and Ahmed Pasha still has no confidence in the 6th Army? The new 6th Army? It's enough to fool and fool the people, when he doesn't know yet?

Weapons and equipment have been updated, but at a discount. How good the quality is depends on the conscience of the officials in charge!

Soldier training has been improved, but this is only compared to the previous, how much difference there is between training every ten days and training every three days, it is hard to say!

Anyway, the officers are still those officers, and the soldiers are still those soldiers! Otherwise, where does the Ottoman Empire go to find so many qualified officers now!

Although Ahmed Pasha has average abilities, he has also studied the history of modern naval battles. He still remembers the Sino-Japanese War in the Far East more than ten years ago!

A warship remains in the port, and it will become a prisoner of the enemy if it is shot. He knows that if he does not take action now, I am afraid they will become the second Beiyang fleet this time!

Fight! Ahmed Pasha secretly made up his mind

...

At this time, the Bulgarian 6th Army is still fighting hard, but this is not a hard fight with the enemy, but a fight against seasickness and a fight against the natural environment!

Originally, Ferdinand brought up a huge decisive battle with the Ottoman Empire, but now it gives people a feeling of being played. What about the promised blood debt and blood payment?

How many islands did you go to hit? Not to mention the capture of Ankara, at least to attack the strategic locations of Bursa and Uskudar!

It's been almost a month since the war began. Except for the capture of a large area of ​​coastal islands, the main force of the Bulgarian 6th Army was stunned in their old home, and there was no sign of the 6th battle at all.

Even shipping in the Aegean Sea is unimpeded. Bulgaria has not intercepted merchant ships, the Ottoman Empire has no ability to intercept merchant ships, and the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus are even more calm!

After the foreign powers watched the excitement, the matter had nothing to do with them, and even the Germans were relieved that the local war was irrelevant!

If Bulgaria attacked the Asia Minor peninsula, they were also worried that the Sudanese government would collapse, but if they attacked the coastal islands, it is estimated that few Ottomans would take these islands to heart, otherwise Crete would not fall into the hands of the Greeks !

...

The 6th Army Minister Popov said anxiously: Your Majesty, is it time for our 6th Army to act? Waiting is not the way to do it?

Don't worry, aren't we already attacking the Southern Sporades Islands? At this rate, wait another month, and the islands of the Ottoman Empire in the Aegean Sea are all ours! Ferdinand smiled. Say

He is very satisfied with the current progress. Ferdinand never dreamed that the Ottoman Empire would give up the coastal islands. Otherwise, relying on these islands to deal with Bulgaria, it would not take a year and a half to take them all!

Oh, if the Sudanese government knew about it, they would definitely be very aggrieved, and they would be very helpless too! Everyone knows that these islands cannot be defended. Who should be sent to die? Is this a problem?

Don't look at the earth-shattering slogans that the main war faction shouts every day. When they want to be cannon fodder, there are countless reasons for each one.

In short, the precious national defense forces cannot be wasted on irrelevant islands!

Unless the navy can win, it's better to defend in the peninsula of Asia Minor! You see that Bulgaria has not yet reached 6, which shows that our strategy is very successful, and the enemy has been intimidated, and they dare not board 6!
