Bulgarian Empire

It's not just Ferdinand who wants to cheat his teammates? After all, this skill John Bull has already reached the full level, but this time the Germans showed such strength that they were too scared to use their natural skills.

However, the Russians were once again cheated. The two Australian divisions, one New Zealand division, and one Canadian division that were supposed to go to the Western Front to attack the Germans were sent to Sicily by Niu Niu to participate in the already-exploded Sardinia Deng 6 battle.

However, in terms of supplies, Niu Niu did not discount this time, and even completed the task, but one thing is very consistent with Ferdinand's previous practice, and did not provide medicines. It seems that everyone hopes that Mao Xiong can kill more people!

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

Perhaps in their view, soldiers can survive minor injuries without using medicines, and it is not economically economical to spend a lot of money to treat an ordinary soldier with serious injuries.

If it cannot be saved, precious medicines will be wasted in vain. Even if it is saved, the possibility of recovery is very small, and most of them will remain disabled.

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

What's more, they don't have enough doctors. After all, at the beginning of the 20th century, doctors were still a very prestigious profession, and they were dedicated to serving the rich.

Due to the lack of modern testing equipment, treating diseases and saving lives depends entirely on the professional ability of doctors themselves, and it takes a long time to train a qualified doctor.

Obviously Mao Xiong conscription, it is impossible to force these people into the army, otherwise who will guarantee the lives 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 large fleet and transported hundreds of thousands of tons of strategic materials at one time, including 700 million bullets, 20 million shells of various types, 800,000 rifles, 500 artillery pieces, 300 million ten thousand tents...

For this reason, Ferdinand also specially sent half of the warships to the Suez Canal to escort the convoy. Even with such caution, a ship was still killed by the submarine of the Allies on the way, and more than 10,000 tons of supplies were directly lost. up.

Of course, as a price, one of the submarines that the Allies took the lead was also sunk. But in terms of value, the Allies still made a profit.

It can be said that the supplies of John Bull were delivered in a timely manner. The large number of people and the strength of the soldiers cost a lot. Millions of Russian troops fought against the German-Austrian coalition forces. The daily ammunition consumption was an astronomical figure. The batch of ammunition provided by Bulgaria was really top-notch. In a few days.

This was also what Ferdinand expected. After all, apart from 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 monthly consumption of the Bulgarian army in Asia Minor Peninsula, but in terms of strength, the Russian army is four times that of the Bulgarian army in Asia Minor Peninsula.

The enemies faced by the two sides are not of the same magnitude, and the ammunition consumption is naturally impossible to be consistent.

From this point of view, the Russian army is really very economical. It took nearly a month of wry smiles with this small amount of supplies and the German-Austrian coalition forces before they waited for material assistance from the British.

After receiving the supplies from the British, the Russians' first reaction was to be happy, but it didn't last long before they discovered a 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 hope to exchange them with us!"

Ferdinand was slightly taken aback, and asked in great surprise, "Why, do you want to exchange it with us? Didn't the military say that the weapons and ammunition provided by the British this time are good?"

Foreign Minister Megev 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 all Russians in history made by all nations? Now you want to unify the ammunition caliber?

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

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

"Don't the Russians know that we have unified weapons and ammunition for a long time? Or do they think we will open a few more ammunition production lines for these weapons and equipment?" Ferdinand said very surprised, as if talking about the Russians' brains It's flooded.

Megev thought for a while and said, "I don't know about that. In short, the Russians made this request very seriously and asked us to report to you. It is said that Nicholas II personally ordered it!"

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

After beating Megeve away, Ferdinand gradually understood that there was also a strong political meaning in it, which seemed to imply something.

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

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

Even if the World War is over, due to the caliber of weapons and ammunition of the Russians, a large number of 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 dug a hole on purpose, the Russians have to jump in now. Who told them that they lack weapons and ammunition?

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

Then this idea was vetoed by Ferdinand, Bulgaria has been expanding the production capacity of weapons and ammunition, otherwise how can there be room to sell to Russia?

As for fully meeting the needs of the Russians for weapons and ammunition, according to Bulgaria's current expansion rate, it will take at least three or four years. 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, you can say it directly. There is no need to be so cryptic, unless Nicholas II is really out of his mind and thinks that Ferdinand is so talkative!

Ferdinand, who thought he had figured out the situation, immediately put this issue behind him. After all, this is just an episode. No matter how dissatisfied the Russians are with Bulgaria, they cannot do without 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 wait to be besieged!

A crazy idea has already flashed in Ferdinand's mind. If a severely injured Russia survived the First World War and continued to expand its territory to the European continent without knowing what to do, what would the direction of 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 into Europe.

Is it possible for the Russians to give up their European expansion? Obviously, this is impossible. Out of strategic considerations, even if Mao Xiong wants to stop, he will turn the Baltic Sea into their inland sea!

Then the mainstream conflict in the world in the future will become Britain and France vs Bear+Britain and France vs America, everything has changed!

No, if the Americans hadn't participated in World War I, they wouldn't have had the ambition to dominate the world, and if they hadn't experienced world war expansion and preparations, they wouldn't be strong enough to challenge the British world hegemony!

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

So can the severely injured Mao Xiong compete against the severely injured Britain and France? No one can answer this question, but Mao Xiong will probably lose. Who said that countries in the European continent that have reached the eighth floor do not like them?

As long as Britain and France work together, an alliance against the bear can be established soon, so who should Bulgaria help?
