Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 112, Three countries united, boarded the thief ship

With the war on the southern front imminent, how could Ferdinand sit still and wait to die?

In the previous battles on the Western Front and Bulgaria on the Eastern Front, Bulgaria was playing soy sauce, and now it is finally Bulgaria's turn to play the leading role.

It's a pity that Ferdinand didn't want this kind of opportunity to show off at all. If he wins, it's a miserable victory, let alone if he loses!

Although cannon fodder is worthless, they are also valuable. At least it has increased Bulgaria's voice in the Allied Powers, and it can barely communicate with Britain, France and Russia on an equal footing.

If you lose too much in this war, it will be miserable! It’s okay if you win, and you can make up for the loss later. If you lose, you will be in big trouble, which will definitely affect Bulgaria’s status in the Allied Powers.

Just like the current Russians, although their status in the Allied Powers is still very important, they will definitely not get the biggest share in the future distribution of benefits due to the great loss of strength. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Of course, the situation on the southern front of Bulgaria is much better than that of the Russians on the eastern front a few months ago, at least the enemy is not as strong as before.

And no matter whether the Russians are intentional or not, as long as they are still a member of the Allied Powers, they will help Bulgaria contain a large number of German-Austrian forces.

In addition, Britain and France on the western front are almost ready, and it is impossible for them to continue to sit back and watch Bulgaria lose on the southern front, otherwise they will face the German and Austrian allied forces alone!

From this point of view, the Russians are tragic. Their teammates overestimated their strength. No one, including Ferdinand, thought that they would lose so quickly that they had no time to support them.

Otherwise, the decisive battle between the Allies and the Allied Powers would have started early! After all, everyone cheated their teammates just to consume their strength, but they didn't plan to really let the Germans win this world war! \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

After much deliberation, Ferdinand finally decided to pull Britain and France into the water. As long as the western front is fought, Germany will not be able to continue to increase troops to the southern front. With their current strength alone, Bulgaria can still survive.

Even as long as the Allied Powers gain an advantage on the battlefield, or the two sides fall into a stalemate, it is possible to lure the Russians to come out to recover the lost ground. The war on the Eastern Front will break out again, and Bulgaria's southern battlefield will be stable!

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately communicated with Britain and France, telling them that we do not have the strength to face the German and Austrian attacks alone, and if they cannot launch a full-scale counterattack against the Germans on the Western Front, we will directly abandon Romania!

If they don't want the Germans to get Romania's granary and oil and drag the war on, then let's do it together, hit the Allies hard this winter, and end the war next year! \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

At the same time, let’s also get in touch with the Russians. They have just suffered a big defeat, and we don’t ask them to start another war. As long as the Tsarist government allows the front-line troops to come out from time to time and show their presence! "

Don’t blame Ferdinand for being shameless. It’s because the Russians were mistreated by John Bull before. Fortunately, Bulgaria’s material reserves are enough for one or two major battles. Otherwise, he also has to worry about whether John Bull will find them after the war An excuse to delay Bulgaria's strategic supplies.

Foreign Minister Megev replied calmly: "Yes! But, Your Majesty, should we communicate with the British and ask for an increase in the supply of strategic materials?

We are about to fight a battle on the southern front with the Allies, and there may even be a war on the entire border between us and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is completely reasonable to ask for an increase in material supplies now! "\u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Like the Russians, after the war broke out, Bulgaria also owed a huge debt to Britain and France, including strategic materials and raw materials for production.

Most of the materials are on credit, so the supply of materials has to be controlled by others.

Of course, without the British, Bulgaria and Russia would not be able to ship back even if they bought the supplies. The reason is simply that there are not enough ocean-going cargo ships, and there is no global navy to escort them!

Ferdinand thought for a while and said, "Well, yes, it's really time to communicate with the British. According to the current supply of supplies, it can't support the battle of more than two million troops!"

Yes, Ferdinand changed his statement a bit. The scale and scope of the battle on the southern front has been expanded. From the Kingdom of Montenegro to the Kingdom of Ukraine are all battlefields. The troops participating in the battle naturally include the defenders on the borders of both sides.

Is there something wrong with this algorithm? Of course not, the battle on the southern front has not yet started, how wide is the scope and scale, who dares to guarantee it? \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

This is also the current status of the Allies. In order to induce Bulgaria to put more troops into the Balkan battlefield, Britain and France promised that all strategic materials consumed by the war in the Balkan region can be owed on credit!

A large part of this is guaranteed by Britain and France, and Bulgaria borrowed from American financial institutions to purchase strategic materials.

Otherwise, without the support of Britain and France, Bulgaria's heritage cannot support a long-term war of millions of troops.

Even so, the consequences are very serious. Bulgaria owes huge foreign debts to Britain, France and the United States.

However, Ferdinand has no pressure on this at all. The foreign debts of Britain and France can wait for the pound and franc to depreciate!

As for the money owed to the Americans, the one who owes the money is also applicable in this era! Anyway, Britain and France have done it in history, so it doesn't matter if you add Bulgaria this time! \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

...

While Ferdinand was trying to pull Britain and France into trouble against the Allies, John Bull also had the same idea, and the war must be ended as soon as possible for the world hegemony of the British Empire.

Don't look at the fact that John Bull has just been tricked by Baofa and has fallen into a passive position in diplomacy, but as long as they defeat the allies, their strategic goal will be achieved.

The old rivals Russia and France have been weakened in this war, and the greatest enemy, the German Empire, will also disappear in this war. The old empire Austria-Hungary is crumbling, Italy has sunk, and Bulgaria will naturally explode as long as the battle on the southern front You will also lose a lot!

Looking at the European continent, the major powers are finished and weakened, who else can threaten the hegemony of the British Empire?

The premise is that the Allies can defeat the Allies as soon as possible, otherwise the Germans will continue to plunder, and if a bad one is not good, it may really be a joke! \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Historically, John Bull made a miscalculation and overestimated the strength of the Russians, causing the situation to get out of control. In the end, the Americans had to be pulled to the rescue.

Perhaps Ferdinand never dreamed that putting the British on the issue of the Italians would make John Bull wake up, understand that the situation was not under their control, and adopt a more conservative strategy!

In the short term, this is a good thing. It will help the alliance of the Allied powers and end the war by defeating the Allies as soon as possible. In the long run, it is not necessarily the case. A conservative strategy will naturally greatly reduce the losses of the British in this war. After the war has more powerful strength!

The British want to end the war quickly, let alone the French. Now the Western Front is fighting on their homeland. It can be said that the most unaffordable thing is the French!

Everyone is in the same position now, so they hit it off, and a full-scale counterattack against the Allies is about to break out! \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

And the original main force of the Allies, the Russians were directly excluded this time! In addition to Mao Xiong's vitality being seriously injured in the previous war, there is also the fact that their strength is too strong!

Once the Russians have obtained the German and Austrian industry and made up for the last shortcoming, this is another Germany!

This is also one of the main reasons why John Bull is now in a hurry to fight the Allies. This winter is when Mao Xiong is weakest. Now that the Allies have been killed, they have no strength to come out to grab the territory!

After a new round of international order is established, even if Mao Xiong regains his vitality, he will not have the strength to face the entire continent of Europe!

...

The Allied Forces Headquarters on the Western Front, Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces Ferdinand Foch, Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force Douglas Haig, and Commander-in-Chief of the French Army Joseph Jacques Césaire Joffre gathered together. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

The strategic counter-offensive they had been waiting for, the time finally came. Now the strength of the Allied Powers on the Western Front has almost reached its limit, and its strength has reached its peak!

The Germans on the opposite side are now a little bit hard. Although the Italians were not very effective when they were there, they still had more than one million troops, which allowed the two sides to reach a balance in terms of military strength.

Although the German government has also increased its troops, their army is still only about 3 million, and the Allied Powers have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength!

As the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Foch said arrogantly: "The two Allies have made a decision to fight the Germans this winter. At that time, Bulgaria will also attack on the southern front, but we are the ones in this war." The main force!

Therefore, we must have a more comprehensive and perfect plan to hit the Germans hard this winter so that the war can end as soon as possible! "

...

War is a continuation of politics, and the Allied Powers never thought of keeping the big move a secret. Politicians have long started propaganda with great fanfare: end the war in the coming year!

Well, Ferdinand said that this is his kind sponsorship, no thanks!

Anyway, this was negotiated by the Allied Powers. He just exposed the news in advance, which can be used by all countries to appease the people, so that everyone does not have to worry that the war will continue.

Of course, this also has a little bit of sequelae. If the Allied Powers did not win the war in 1917, the French will definitely lose the cabinet again, and the British don’t mind changing their appearance. Those who are driven out by others and those who step down after the end of their term of office are not the same concept at all!

Of course, everyone is very confident now. After the news leaked, they did not block it, but instead added fuel to the flames.

The effect of the propaganda is still obvious. As soon as the news came, the people breathed a sigh of relief. This cruel war is finally coming to an end, and the support rate of the two governments has increased significantly for a while!

Ferdinand's goal has also been achieved. The politicians of Britain and France have already boarded the ship.

Anyway, ordinary British and French people will not listen to their explanation of national interests. No matter how great the interests are, in the eyes of ordinary people, defeating the Allies as soon as possible and ending the war is the top priority!

Even for their own political lives, the British and French allied forces must severely injure the Germans in this war! Otherwise, what will they rely on to end the war in the coming year?
