Mediterranean Hegemony Road

In mid-April, the World War entered its climax stage. The two major alliances were slaughtered in Europe. The daily casualties of both sides ranged from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. The most brutal stage of the World War has come! \u00261t;/p\u003e

On the Western Front, the two sides fought a dead end. Although the British and French allied forces suffered more casualties, they couldn't stand the cannon fodder. Strategically, the two sides still failed to reach a result. \u00261t;/p\u003e

On the eastern front, the Russians fought against the Germans this time, which fully allowed the Germans to experience the power of human sea tactics, even if the casualty ratio of both sides was 1:3, and even some areas even hit 1:5 impressive. Records, but Mao Xiong still expressed fearlessness! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Then the Germans wisely chose to retreat strategically. At this time, they are fighting with the Russians, and they are completely courting death! \u00261t;/p\u003e

With the help of the Hungarians, the Bulgarian army, which was in trouble on the southern front, took Budapest with lightning speed, and then went straight to Austria. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Marshal August von Mackensen, the commander of the southern line of the Allied Powers, decisively chose to run away, and he did not even go to Austria, but went directly to the Polish region and the German army on the eastern front to join forces. \u00261t;/p\u003e

It can be seen that he no longer trusts the Austro-Hungarian Empire. If the Vienna government turns his back again, even the last hundreds of thousands of defeated soldiers here will not even have a chance to run. \u00261t;/p\u003e

The battle has been fought so far, and the prestige of the military government with Hindenburg has dropped to the lowest point in history, and the front-line generals are not buying their accounts so much. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Marshal August von Mackensen directly attacked the government: claiming that the current bad situation was caused by the blind command of the General Staff, and asked the Hindenburg government to return the rights to the Kaiser, not to Go further and further on the wrong road! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Obviously, he was desperate for the war, and hoped that the Lord and faction, led by the Kaiser, would come to power and negotiate with the Allies to end the war as soon as possible! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Now it's not just Marshal August von Mackensen,

Many generals in the German army lost confidence in the war, even the famous Erich Ludendorff. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Of course, losing confidence in winning this war does not mean that they will surrender. Most of their opinions are to negotiate with the enemy and end the war with dignity! \u00261t;/p\u003e

In addition, the Germans still have enough chips in their hands. On the western front, they still occupy the French mountain territory and Belgium, which has been destroyed by the Germans; on the eastern front, the Germans still occupy Poland, Lithuania, Belarus and other regions. \u00261t;/p\u003e

These sites are the confidence of the Germans. It’s okay to be in a hurry to get a fish and a net. Of course, this will scare the French and Belgium, and other countries are naturally fearless. \u00261t;/p\u003e

For example, the British, they were watching the fun. If the Germans really turned these areas into a scorched earth, maybe they would have to open champagne to celebrate? \u00261t;/p\u003e

Ferdinand's attitude was similar to that of John Bull. If all the Germans were burned, the future of Europe would be peaceful. Once they are born, the French will never let them go, and the future German decision does not exist! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Even Ferdinand maliciously guessed that Nicholas II still expects all this to happen. The big deal is that the loss of these tens of millions of people can be exchanged for the death of Germany and France. The Russian Empire will dominate Europe. Why not? Replace it? \u00261t;/p\u003e

Only the French were injured and they were threatened! With their domestic population base, if they lose more than 10 million people, it will be good to keep their current status. Don't think about dominating the European Big 6! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Some people in the remaining neutral countries are calling for restraint on both sides, and some people hope that the two major alliances will fight harder, preferably all jade and stone will be burned. \u00261t;/p\u003e

It can be imagined that as long as the Germans choose the most extreme approach, neutral Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Denmark will become members of the new Entente, and interests will always be the best catalyst! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Of course, just like in history, it's just shouting slogans. If the German government really does it, the people below will also mutiny. After all, everyone has not lived enough. \u00261t;/p\u003e

...\u00261t;/p\u003e

Foreign Minister Metev said calmly: Your Majesty, the Russians have asked us for help again. They hope that we can provide them with two billion bullets, eighty million shells, two million rifles, five thousand cannons, two thousand One plane, one thousand tanks, five thousand tons of medicine, five million military uniforms, one million tons of canned food, and a whole lot of accessories!\u00261t;/p\u003e

Ferdinand was used to the big mouth of the lion of the hairy bear. Of course, with the size of their huge army, this batch of supplies is really not that much. \u00261t;/p\u003e

If it was before, Ferdinand would definitely refuse it decisively, but now that the world war has come to an end, it would be a waste to keep a huge reserve of strategic materials. \u00261t;/p\u003e

But whether or not to sell to the Russians, Ferdinand is still a little undecided. Arming the Russians now will cause trouble for the European Big Six in the future! \u00261t;/p\u003e

After hesitating for a while, Ferdinand finally decided to sell it, but not everything, such as rifles and cannons, can be sold casually, but ammunition must be sold in limited quantities! \u00261t;/p\u003e

As for what a huge Russian empire will bring to the European Big Six, Ferdinand can't control that much. Isn't Britain and France very busy after the war? Gotta find something for them to do! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Ferdinand said cautiously: You, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, cooperate and let the company represent themselves to negotiate the price with them. Remember to check our inventory.\u00261t;/p\u003e

Whether the Russians want to buy weapons and ammunition or other strategic materials, we can sell them now, but the Russians must pay first, and at the same time limit the delivery time of the ammunition, so that Russia can not have too much while having enough. Remaining! ”\u00261t;/p\u003e

Yes, Your Majesty! Foreign Minister Metev replied\u00261t;/p\u003e

It is impossible for Ferdinand to be careless. With so many weapons and ammunition, it is impossible for Bulgaria to immediately take out such a stock for trading, even if it uses strategic reserves! \u00261t;/p\u003e

And with the current world situation, in case the Germans can't bear the pressure of the outside world and suddenly surrender, these weapons and equipment will be worthless once the world war is over. When the time comes, the bear will come directly to financial difficulties and cannot pay, Bulgaria will be ready to cry! \u00261t;/p\u003e

This kind of thing happened a lot in history, and Ferdinand didn't think that with the morality of the bear, they would continue to pay! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Anyway, the Russians have just received a loan from John Bull, plus the income of Nicholas II's home raid, and now their finances are in a period of rare prosperity. \u00261t;/p\u003e

...\u00261t;/p\u003e

Although the Allies had the upper hand on the battlefield, the Germans, who still had strength, were still not reconciled to defeat! \u00261t;/p\u003e

On May 3, 1917, the German army launched a major counteroffensive on the western front, directly breaking through the French defense line, and occupied Soissons, pushing the front to the Marne River, only more than 30 kilometers away from Paris. \u00261t;/p\u003e

The world is in an uproar again, are the Germans going to counterattack at the last minute? \u00261t;/p\u003e

Paris crisis, the French government is anxious, they not only mobilized a large number of troops from all over the country to Paris, ready to fight a Paris defense battle, but also asked the Allied Powers for help! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Not only the French are in a hurry, but even the British are in a hurry. For John Bull, this World War has weakened the French enough. If the French are hit hard again this time, the post-war European Big 6 will be dominated by the Russians! \u00261t;/p\u003e

This is absolutely unacceptable to John Niu. He has just killed a German. If there is another bear, will this day be over? \u00261t;/p\u003e

So, the London government just gritted its teeth and transferred 15 infantry divisions from China to Paris, France. They wanted to fight with the French to defend Paris! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Even Ferdinand is in a hurry. Now the French can't overturn the car, otherwise the situation in the European Big 6 after the war will be out of control. \u00261t;/p\u003e

If the French did not come out to contain the British and Russians, Bulgaria would not have a good time, and Ferdinand was not ready to face the European hegemony! \u00261t;/p\u003e

In the face of the French's call for help, Ferdinand ordered that the Bulgarian army on the front line did not have to attack Vienna. In addition to leaving part of the army to contain Austria, the main force was directly interspersed with the Allied forces in southern Austria and there, and then Directly attack the German mainland to achieve the purpose of besieging Wei and saving Zhao! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Dante Christophe, who received this order, felt bad in an instant. He could have caught the soft persimmon of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but now he has to run to confront Germany! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Fortunately, Ferdinand did not ask him to fight with the Germans. As long as he could contain the Germans and relieve the French from the siege of Paris, his task was completed. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Otherwise, Dante Christophe really has to worry. Of course, he is not worried about whether he can win the Germans, but the logistical supply of the troops! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Anyway, the troops in his hands are now more than 1.5 million, and together with the hundreds of thousands of Allied forces in the Italian region, an army of nearly 2 million people, the Germans can't eat it no matter what, even Germany It is very difficult for people to block their attacks! \u00261t;/p\u003e

After all, after the east and west lines, adding a southern line, the Germans are also incapable of doing it! \u00261t;/p\u003e

The domestic war potential has also been basically drained, not to mention the Eastern Front, which is already lacking in troops, and is retreating all the way! \u00261t;/p\u003e

The only thing left with sufficient troops is the Western Front, but there are more British and French troops on the Western Front. Once the Germans transfer troops from the Western Front, Ferdinand's purpose will be achieved! \u00261t;/p\u003e

At that time, the Germans will not only lose their hope of overthrowing the French, but may also be pushed back by the British and French forces. This is a conspiracy! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Unless the Germans are able to capture Paris before the Bulgarian army arrives, they will lose the war once the fire reaches the German mainland! \u00261t;/p\u003e

However, this plan also has a very fatal weakness, that is, the logistics supply of the army. There are three directions that can provide logistics supply to the army: Austria, Italy, and Switzerland. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Italy's transportation capacity is limited. Due to the war, the Italians' railway transportation capacity is less than half of what it was before the war, and even the consumption of the Allied forces is barely enough. \u00261t;/p\u003e

The Swiss are a neutral country. If it is only a small amount of material transportation, it is estimated that they still have to sell the face of the Allied countries, but it is better to supply this army! \u00261t;/p\u003e

To transport materials from Austria, you have to cooperate with Austrians, right? Now the two sides are still enemies, and it is wishful thinking to ask them not to destroy the logistical supply lines of the Bulgarian army! \u00261t;/p\u003e

In the case of sabotage, Dante Christophe, no matter how confident he is, would not think that transporting from Austria can meet the consumption of the army on the battlefield! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Therefore, on the surface, the combat effectiveness of this army is extremely short. In fact, the durability of its combat strength output is very short. In addition to ensuring the peak combat effectiveness in the first few days, it will meet the Russians in the East last year. The embarrassment faced by the line! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Well, it doesn't really matter if the battle is won or not, as long as the Bulgarian army reaches the German border, occupied a few small cities by the way, boosts the morale of the French and strengthens their determination to resist That's it! \u00261t;/p\u003e

In addition to helping the French get through the difficulties, the more important thing is to put pressure on the Germans to make wrong decisions. It is best to just lay down their weapons stupidly as in history, then Bulgaria will make a lot of money! \u00261t;/p\u003e

...\u00261t;/p\u003e
