Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Chapter 35, The Battle of Land and Sea

Although Ferdinand was also an ancient noble from the German region, he is now the king of Bulgaria, and his core interests have gradually shifted from the Austro-Hungarian Empire to Bulgaria. Therefore, no matter how the Germans die, it has nothing to do with him!

As for reminding Wilhelm II, or to help Germany strengthen its national strength, and use World War I to weaken Britain and France as much as possible?

This is what an idiot would do!

Anyone who really understands World War I knows that the Allies did not have a chance to win, but wasted the opportunity due to the strategic mistakes of the Germans!

Even though the rise of Bulgaria has enhanced the strength of the Allied Powers, if the Germans change their strategy, take the west to defend the east and attack the east, and give priority to dealing with the Russians, it is really a question of whether they can last for two years in the current state of Mao Xiong!

If the Russians collapsed ahead of time, Bulgaria would have to take over the burden of the bear and withstand the German offensive. Such a daunting task, can Bulgaria be able to complete it now? No one can answer this question!

Anyway, Ferdinand thinks that if facing the main force of the Germans, with the strength of Bulgaria now, with the terrain of the Balkans, it may be possible to deal with it for a year and a half, but the Germans are not stupid!

Why do people want to fight with you in the ravine? Without the Russians, Austria-Hungary is enough to contain Bulgaria, and Bulgaria has no strength to take the initiative to attack anyway!

Britain, France, Germany and Italy, as long as there is no accident, the French will collapse sooner or later! Without the French, the British may still be able to survive on the strait, and Bulgaria is ready to die!

Oh, according to this line of thinking, if the world war broke out in 19o9, by the end of 191o or the beginning of 1911, the Russians would withdraw from the war, the French would be destroyed by the end of 1911, and Bulgaria would be destroyed in 1912!

As for the Japanese, this plane was pitted by Ferdinand and dragged down the exhibition! In order to repay the debt, the Japanese government even the navy's Eighth Eighth Fleet has been compressed into the Fourth and Fourth Fleet, and the plan is just a plan!

The money of the foreign powers is not so easy to borrow,

If you want to expand the army, you should pay off the debt first! At least pay off the interest, or people won't mind taking over your finances!

In order to repay the debt, the Japanese are still struggling hard. Their service industry has begun to operate in Europe, and Japanese clubs have appeared in Sofia!

Even if they are so mad, their comprehensive national strength is still inferior to that of Bulgaria. Don't expect them to do much!

American? By the time they finished mobilizing, the daylilies were cold! The European Big 6 has been settled by the Germans, what can they do?

No one can contain the Germans' 6th Army. Ferdinand doesn't think that the American soldiers can do much!

Of course, this is basically impossible! Because the German government is still in a daze, otherwise they would have already started a war!

After all, the longer it drags on, the more the Russians recover their strength, and when the Germans are ready, the Allies are also ready!

After all, the Germans are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of resources. As long as the woolly bear recovers, it will not be so easy to defeat!

Nicholas II is also able to fight the defense of St. Petersburg! The big deal is to retreat all the way. When you give up several big cities, you will find the status of Nicholas II, but it will become more consolidated!

After all, the foundation of capitalists and revolutionary parties is completely dependent on the big cities, and in other remote areas, they are still die-hard supporters of the tsarist government!

...

Forget it, let’s not yy anymore, these are all based on ideal conditions, under the premise that no one makes strategic mistakes, obviously this is impossible!

History has proved that in the world war, all countries basically made strategic mistakes, it just depends on whether it is fatal or not!

The most typical ones are Maoxiong and Austria-Hungary. The two great empires were directly played by their own strategies! If the Austro-Hungarian Empire took the initiative to defend, the Russians would not be able to defeat them so easily!

If the Russians take the initiative to defend, even the Germans will be blinded, the vast territory, and the steady stream of gray animals, God knows how long it will take to decide the winner!

After the Russo-Japanese War, it was the weakest period for the Allied countries. The Allied countries had already surpassed the Three-Power Entente between France and Russia in terms of military strength.

...

Admiral Petrov said cautiously: Your Majesty, since this is the case, then we must prepare in advance! Once the war breaks out, we will be surrounded by enemies, and the Black Sea is the only channel of communication between us and the Russians, then in the Black Sea It is necessary to keep a fleet!

Ferdinand nodded, the best reason to expand the navy is here!

History has turned a turning point. Now the Russian Black Sea Fleet is over, and the Tsarist government is not planning to rebuild it because of its financial resources!

If Bulgaria does not want to fight alone, then the shipping in the Black Sea must be smooth. As for the Bulgarian naval fleet in the Aegean Sea, as long as the Ottomans are not stupid, they will not be included!

To block the narrow strait, it is nothing more than a problem of a few torpedoes. For the Allies, this is not a problem at all! Even the Germans will deploy several submarines in the Black Sea, specializing in things!

Before Ferdinand could speak, Popov, Minister of the 6th Army, answered first: The Black Sea Fleet must be established, but the navies of Romania and the Ottoman Empire can be ignored, and we can't let in the fleets of the Allied countries!

Therefore, the main opponent of the Black Sea Fleet is the underwater submarine, and we only need a few destroyers!

Obviously Popov saw through Petrov's purpose and directly blocked the way for the naval construction! On the issue of military spending, the battle between the Navy and the 6th Army has never stopped!

This is also the result of Ferdinand's intentional laissez-faire. In addition to balancing the forces of the military, the most important thing is that Bulgaria does not have the strength to take into account the two sea powers at the same time!

At this time, someone naturally needs to charge into the battle. Whether it is a government official or the 6th Marine Army to demolish each other, it is all Ferdinand needs!

Using the navy to attack the 6th army, using the 6th army to attack the navy, using the cabinet to suppress the military, using the military to check and balance the government, it can be said that Ferdinand played very smoothly!

Therefore, in Bulgaria, a country where martial arts prevail, ******* does not have the ability to interfere with the government, which is completely different from Japan!

There is no doubt that the Bulgarian 6th Army now has the upper hand, and neither Ferdinand nor the Bulgarian government has much interest in the large naval plan now!

Ferdinand smiled and said: Yes, we should indeed build a Black Sea Fleet. In principle, the purpose is to suppress the Romanians and the Ottoman Empire. Your Admiralty can first formulate a detailed plan, and then come up with the specifics. It's discussed!

When he said this, Ferdinand wanted to laugh, what the hell is the Romanian navy? The Ottoman Empire has no warships in the Black Sea at the moment, but there are still a few sailing warships, which can probably be put in a museum!

From this, it can be imagined how powerful the Black Sea Fleet will be in the future?

Dreadnought that is impossible! Coastal battleship? This seems to be overkill! Probably cruisers and destroyers plus a few torpedo boats are almost enough. The total tonnage is 10,000 or 8,000, and it is estimated that it is almost the same!

The problem of the navy is over, and the problem of the 6th Army has come again! The 6th Army Minister Popov proposed the establishment of a fast-reaction force, ready to use cars as mounts for them!

However, it still failed, and the reason is very simple: half a step ahead is a hero, one step ahead is a hero!

The performance of cars in this era is too pitiful, and the off-road ability is not good enough. If they are equipped with troops, they will now be able to drive on the main roads in China, and the mountainous hilly forest areas will be completely blinded!

The most important thing is that the price is too expensive and the price-performance ratio is too low, so low that Bulgaria can't use it at all!

Not only a car, but even a motorcycle can't be equipped for the same reason, the performance is not good enough, it can't meet the needs of the army, and the cost is high!

In the end, this fast-reaction force was shrunk into a bicycle force!

The technology in this area is very mature, and the production cost of bicycles is not too high, which is completely within the financial range of the Bulgarian government!

Oh, by the beginning of the 20th century, bicycles had become obsolete in Bulgaria and became one of the main means of transportation for the working class!

So far, the earliest mechanized unit in Bulgaria has been determined, and it is only a cavalry quick response unit!
