Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Is it more than Ferdinand who wants to pit his teammates? After all, John Bull had already reached the full level of this skill, but this time the Germans showed too much strength, and they were so scared that they didn't dare to use their talent skills with all their strength.

However, the Russians were trapped again. They should have been thrown into the battlefield on the Western Front. Two Australian divisions, one New Zealand division, and one Canadian division that attacked the Germans were sent to Sicily by Niu Niu to participate in the outbreak of Sardinia. landing battle.

However, in terms of supplies, Niu Niu did not discount this time, and even overfulfilled the task, but one point was very consistent with Ferdinand's previous practice. No medicine was provided. It seems that everyone hopes that Mao Xiong can kill more people!

The most important thing is that the tsarist government did not pay attention to medicines. They only cared about the lives of officers, and the lives of ordinary soldiers were worthless.

Perhaps in their opinion, even soldiers with minor injuries can resist the past without using medicines. It is not economically worthwhile to treat an ordinary soldier with serious injuries and spend a lot of money.

If they can't be rescued, they will waste precious medicines. Even if they are rescued, the possibility of recovery is very small, and most of them will be left with disabilities.

Moreover, the placement of these disabled soldiers is also a big problem. Perhaps for the tsarist government, it is better to let them die!

Also, they don't have enough doctors. After all, at the beginning of the 20th century, doctors were still a very high profession, and they were only for the rich.

Due to the lack of modern testing equipment, it takes a long time to train a qualified doctor.

Obviously, it is impossible for Maoxiong to force these people into the army. Otherwise, who will guarantee the life safety of the nobles?

The number of military doctors is limited, and the demand for medicines is naturally not high!

...

This time the British organized a super large fleet,

Hundreds of thousands of tons of strategic materials were transported at one time, including 700 million rounds of ammunition, 20 million rounds of artillery shells, 800,000 rifles, 500 artillery pieces, and 300,000 tents...

To this end, Ferdinand also specially sent half of the warships to the Suez Canal to escort the fleet. Even so cautiously, a submarine of the Allied countries still killed a ship on the way, and more than 10,000 tons of materials were directly lost. .

Of course, as a price, one of the allied submarines was also sunk. However, in terms of value, the Allies still made a profit.

It can be said that this batch of supplies from John Bull was delivered in a timely manner. The large number of people and the strength of the soldiers cost a lot. Millions of Russian troops and the German-Austrian coalition fought a war. The daily ammunition consumption is astronomical. The ammunition provided by Bulgaria is really good. in a few days.

This is also what Ferdinand expected. After all, except for a little more bullets, the other materials provided last time were really not much.

After all, this amount of ammunition is calculated based on the consumption of the Bulgarian army on the Asia Minor peninsula, but the Russian army is four times as strong as the Bulgarian army on the Asia Minor peninsula.

The enemies facing both sides are not of the same order, and the ammunition consumption naturally cannot be the same.

From this point of view, the Russian army is really economical. With this small amount of supplies and the German-Austrian allied forces smiled bitterly for more than a month, they waited for the material assistance from the British.

After receiving the British supplies, the first reaction of the Russians was to be happy, but it didn't take long before they discovered the problem. And also found Bulgaria, and also made a very surprising request.

Your Majesty, the Russians want to exchange some ammunition, rifles, and artillery with us, and they want to exchange it with us!

Ferdinand was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: Why, you want to change with us? Didn't the military say that the weapons and ammunition provided by the British this time are good?

Foreign Minister Metev said lightly: It should be the issue of the caliber of weapons. The Russians have suffered enough in this war, so they want to unify the caliber of ammunition!

Ferdinand was stunned. Aren't Russians made by all nations in history? Now you want a unified ammo caliber?

However, he recovered quickly. The weapons and ammunition of the Russians in this time and space are not all provided by Britain and France, and a large part of the weapons and ammunition are purchased from Bulgaria.

However, limited by Bulgaria's production capacity, the Russians' weapons and ammunition are still out of stock, especially in the mobilized troops. The situation where several people share a rifle has already appeared in the newly formed troops.

Don't the Russians know that we have already unified weapons and ammunition? Or do they think we will open a few more ammunition production lines for these weapons and equipment? Water got in.

Metev thought for a while and said, I don't know. In short, the Russians made this request very seriously, and they also asked us to report to you. It is said that this was ordered by Nicholas II himself!

Ferdinand was a little speechless. Did Nicholas II think he was so good at talking, or did he think he was stupid? He said angrily: Tell the Russians that we have unified the ammunition caliber, and we have no intention of changing it!

After sending Metev away, Ferdinand gradually understood that there was a strong political meaning in it, and it seemed to imply something.

Obviously, the British's vigilance against hairy bears has not weakened at all. Otherwise, the war has broken out for more than a year. Is it difficult to produce a batch of weapons and ammunition of the same caliber as the mainstream Russian weapons?

Why even do this? Not to restrict the Russians! The intention of the British is obvious, the weapons and equipment are given to you, but you will be stuck on the ammunition.

Even if the world war is over, because of the caliber of weapons and ammunition, a large number of Russian weapons will become fire sticks. Will the Russians still have the strength to seize Eastern Europe?

But this is also a conspiracy. Even if they know that the British deliberately dug a hole, now the Russians have to jump into it. Who told them that they lacked weapons and ammunition?

Is Nicholas II implying that he wants Bulgaria to continue to expand the production capacity of weapons and ammunition?

Following this idea was rejected by Ferdinand again, Bulgaria has been expanding the production capacity of weapons and ammunition, otherwise where would there be room to sell to Russia?

As for fully meeting the needs of the Russians' weapons and ammunition, according to Bulgaria's current expansion rate, at least three or four years later, this is still based on the unlimited supply of raw materials!

Then there is only one possibility, Nicholas II is reminding or warning Ferdinand not to get too close to the British, John Bull is unreliable!

This inference makes sense. If it is the former, it can be said directly. There is no need to make it so obscure, unless Nicholas II is really deluded and thinks that Ferdinand is so good at talking!

Ferdinand, who thought he had figured out the situation, immediately put the question behind him. After all, this is just a small episode. Even if the Russians are dissatisfied with Bulgaria, they will be inseparable from this ally in the short term.

Even if the World War is over, if the Russians want to continue to expand to the European continent, they must stabilize Bulgaria, otherwise they will be surrounded and beaten!

A crazy idea has already flashed in Ferdinand's mind. If a severely injured Russia survived the first war, and continued to expand its territory to the European continent, what would the world history be like?

Obviously, Britain and France cannot tolerate this situation. Britain hopes that the European continent can maintain a balance, and the French hope to dominate the European continent. They do not want Russia to continue to expand to Europe.

Is it possible for the Russians to give up their expansion into Europe? Obviously this is impossible. For strategic reasons, even if the bears want to stop, they will turn the Baltic Sea into their inland sea!

Then the mainstream contradictions in the world in the future will become Britain and France vs. Maoxiong + Britain and France vs. the United States. Everything has changed!

No, if the Americans had not participated in World War I, they would not have the ambition to dominate the world, nor have they experienced the expansion and preparation of the World War, and their strength is not strong enough to challenge the British world hegemony!

So under the influence of domestic isolationism, will Americans continue to farm in the American continent?

So, can the severely damaged Mao Xiong compete against the severely damaged British and French? No one can answer this question, but most of the bears will lose. Who says that countries with more than eight floors on the European continent have no good impression of them?

As long as Britain and France exert their strength, an alliance to boycott bears can be established soon, so who should Bulgaria help?
