Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Is this instigation work really that dangerous? Esad was not sure, at least he had a good start. With the back door opened by the Bulgarian defenders, he managed to infiltrate a Montenegrin infantry regiment smoothly.

This information was pre-determined. Almost all the people in this infantry regiment were released from the concentration camps in the Kingdom of Montenegro, and they were once part of the Ottoman Empire.

The only regret is that they are all very old, and they have passed the impulsive age, and their long-term work has worn away their fighting spirit.

It is not so easy to mobilize them to defect, at least one incentive is needed.

This incentive has existed for a long time. The composition of this Montenegrin infantry division is very complex, and internal contradictions are naturally indispensable.

The relationship between the blacks, the Serbs, and the Ottomans is not harmonious. There is no doubt that the black and Serb officers have joined forces to crowd out these Ottomans.

It's fine if it's just exclusion, but in terms of weapons and equipment, and the distribution of military salaries, this can't be eased.

This was all deliberately done by Major General Vicky Clinton. The weapons and equipment issued to the Montenegrin Infantry Division were reduced by one battalion, and the salaries were reduced by half a regiment, and they were allowed to distribute them freely.

After working for a long time, these Ottomans are no longer enthusiastic, and everyone will endure the loss. But the rations were insufficient, and this was unbearable.

As the top commander of this regiment, Wesley was in a very bad mood right now. According to his thoughts, he was only missing one-tenth of the food. Everyone in the division saved a little to eat, and the food was barely enough.

But his opinion was ignored. Like him, there were still two Ottoman regiments, and this part of the shortfall fell on them. This means that the two and a half layers of rations are gone.

Do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequity!

When they were in the concentration camp, they were not without starvation. Anyway, they could survive even if they were full for a week.

It's a pity that seeing others have enough to eat and drink, the mood that they are going to be hungry is instantly unbalanced. At this time, Essad has pretended to be a military police and entered his command.

Essad said calmly: General Wesley, hello! Let's get to know each other first, Major Essad, Staff Officer of the General Command of the Syrian Front of the Ottoman Empire, you must be very clear about my purpose!

Wesley's face changed greatly, and he said in horror, How did you get in? Don't you know where this is?

Esad smiled slightly,

After doing it, he said slowly, Don't worry, Mr. Wesley, it's very safe here. As long as we are two, the guards have been transferred by me, and they won't disturb our conversation.

Wesley calmed down slowly, but still said coldly: Go away, once you are discovered, you are finished.

Essade's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: Very good, it seems that Mr. Wesley has forgotten the deep feud in the sea of ​​blood. Don't you want revenge after being bullied by the Montenegrins for so long?

Think about your family, how many people died in that hopeless concentration camp? How can the Bulgarians rescue you, so you can betray your motherland and give up all this?

Wesley said angrily: Enough, don't talk about it! You won't be able to leave if you don't leave. It's useless to say that we can't beat the Bulgarians!

Esad was taken aback for a moment, he did not think that the biggest problem was that these people thought the Ottoman Empire would lose the war.

It's normal to think about it. After so many fights between the two sides, the Ottoman Empire has never won, and it's normal to have no confidence in them.

Esad shook his head and said, No, Mr. Wesley, your worries are superfluous, I don't know if we can defeat the Bulgarians, but it's not a problem for us to defeat Syria!

The country has already sent 800,000 troops to Syria. Do you think 1.3 million troops can't break through Syria?

You know that Bulgaria has only five divisions here, and the rest are colonial troops. Do you think we can't even win against these colonial troops?

You don't think the Bulgarians will increase their troops, do you? Now that the war on the European continent has reached a white-hot stage, Bulgaria has sent reinforcements to France.

Now that the battlefield on the Eastern Front is in full swing, how can they have so many reinforcements to support the Syrian area?

According to my judgment, the Bulgarians have a high possibility of abandoning the Syrian region. For them, the Balkans are the core. Colonies like Syria are optional!

Esther's words shook Wesley's attitude again. Although he didn't fully believe it, he always had an intuition telling him that it was true!

Seeing the change in his attitude, Esad added: Mr. Wesley, don't you notice that the Bulgarians are handing over more and more lines of defense to the colonial troops?

Whether you admit it or not, the signs of Bulgaria's abandonment of Syria are becoming more and more obvious. For you and your subordinates, working with us is the best choice!

Here is a cheque for 10,000 pounds from the Swiss bank, now it's yours, as long as you cooperate with us to capture the Syrian area, there will be a big reward later, and you can even become a new noble of the Ottoman Empire!

Even if you are worried that the Bulgarians will come back, you can immigrate with the bounty and go to places that Bulgaria cannot reach such as the United States and Brazil. Who can find you in the vast crowd?

Facing the temptation of money, Wesley's eyes have begun to shine. The huge figure of 10,000 pounds is enough for him to go to any part of the world to live a prosperous life.

What are you afraid of? Even if the Ottoman Empire is going to fail in the end, he can run away and hide in any corner. Will the Bulgarians still fight for their small role?

Looking at Wesley's changes in expression, Eshard knew that this operation was about to be completed, and now he only needed a reason from Guan Guangwei to prompt him to betray.

Esade continued to add fire: Mr. Wesley, think about the grievances you have suffered, why should they eat and drink if you are going to starve?

Every time you distribute supplies, you take the least, and the food you eat is always the worst. When the war begins, the most dangerous task is yours. Even if you don’t think about yourself, it’s for your subordinates. consider!

Don't you want revenge? To seek justice from the Montenegrins next door for your dead relatives and friends?

I saw Wesley said angrily, Okay, I'm done! Tell me what to do?

...

At the same time as Operation Isaad, Major General Vicky Clinton was organizing the evacuation of the army, and at the same time, the last batch of food was distributed to the people.

As for the remaining food, there is actually not much left. The development of the Syrian region has not been long, and coupled with the sharp increase in the number of immigrants, it is naturally almost consumed.

However, before he left, Major General Vicky Clinton was also prepared. Once the Ottomans broke through the defense line, they would burn all the food and supplies. At that time, the rations for these more than three million people would be a headache for them.

Of course, the Ottomans probably won't have a headache. They are already very skilled in this aspect, and the livestock can be turned into food without fodder.

I have to say that Ferdinand is still soft-hearted. The Syrian area is not far from New Year's Day and the Palestinian area. As long as they want to run, it is no problem.

The premise is that the Ottomans will run away as soon as they arrive, and naturally they will not be able to run away if they are late. If anyone regards the Ottoman army as an ally, they are only out of luck.

...

On a dark and windy night for a month, the Ottoman army, with the cooperation of Wesley, the leading party, broke through the Bulgarian defense line in Syria, and the Bulgarian army, which was originally a reserve, disappeared.

However, the Ottoman army still encountered fierce resistance and could not do anything about the small towns previously occupied by the Ottomans. After the Bulgarian army regained the lost territory, it was no longer a dog.

As the Greeks who have witnessed all this with their own eyes, they naturally dare not surrender easily now. They can only fight and retreat. Maybe they are doing well.

Major General Vicky Clinton informed them directly by telegram, and Syria could no longer be held due to the betrayal of the traitor.

Tell them directly that they can retreat to the rear, and Bulgaria will build a new line of defense in the Palestinian area. It even allowed front-line troops to surrender to the Ottomans when necessary.

I have to say that it was a blessing in disguise. Due to the hatred between the Greeks and the Ottoman Empire, most of these Greek colonial troops chose to resist, and they also chose to retreat as soon as they received the order.

The colonial troops composed of Romanian and Montenegrins made a different choice and surrendered directly to the Ottomans. In their eyes, everyone is allies, and the Ottomans will not do anything to them.

...

After paying more than 30,000 casualties, Hadrei Pasha successfully occupied the Syrian area, but his good mood did not last long, and their logistical supplies began to have problems as the front was stretched.

There was no way to cut off the sea transportation, and the only way to transport it was by land. There was no railway, and carriages were used to support the battle of an army of nearly 700,000. This manuscript fee was undoubtedly an astronomical figure.

But the war continued, and if there was no other way, we could only give priority to the transportation of weapons and ammunition, and part of the food had to be collected on the spot.

What? No food in Syria? Hadre Pasha said in disbelief

The quartermaster explained: Yes General, the Syrian area is not a grain-producing area, and it is normal that there are not many reserves. In addition, many granaries were destroyed during the war, so...

Hadre Pasha said angrily: Enough, won't you go to collect food? Bulgaria dares to immigrate so many people to Syria, and they must be guaranteed to eat, right?

Don't look at them by our previous standards, after years of development by the Bulgarians, the Syrian area is now a new granary!

The quartermaster went on to explain: General, all the land in Syria belongs to the Bulgarian agricultural company, and the local people are hired by them, and they are all paid, so the farmers naturally don't have much food in their hands.

The Bulgarian Agricultural Company has long since evacuated, and even the grain was transported to other areas by them, so there is simply not enough food in Syria!

Hadre Pasha's face changed greatly, and after a moment of silence he said fiercely, According to our traditions!

Hadrei Pasha was also educated in the new style, and he hated the Ottoman tradition, but now he couldn't help but be ruthless.

If they can't cut the Suez Canal, the future of the Allies is not optimistic. The Allies are unlucky, can the Ottoman Empire survive on its own?

Will the country not know the actual situation in Syria? Of course they knew it all, but everyone still took a fluke and thought that the Bulgarians would provide them with enough food.

Of course, the fanatical religious people in the country have long been preparing to carry out a major purge of the Syrian region. Now that the Ottoman government has cut off their food supply, they are of course indispensable!
