Romanian Eagle

Chapter 135 Bulgarian Military Plan

When Serbia, Romania, Greece, and Montenegro reached a secret treaty, Bulgaria, their target, was unaware. In fact, they are prepared for the alliance between Serbia and Greece. As for Montenegro, they can ignore it, but the addition of Romania makes them unaware.

Now Bulgaria is negotiating how to resolve territorial disputes with Serbia and Greece. In the civil society, the three parties are all excited by the infection of nationalism, and they all dislike the other party, especially in Bulgaria. There have been several civil demonstrations against the Serbian and Greek occupation of Bulgaria's deserving territory. In this regard, the government agencies headed by Prime Minister Geschoff have been devastated by the demonstrations.

The army was also influenced by the people, as Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov told King Ferdinand I before. The army is already showing signs of instability, which also makes Ferdinand I secretly determined to take back the territories occupied by Serbia and Greece. If peace does not solve the problem, then war is on the table.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, now let me tell you the plan prepared by our army."

Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov stood in front of a map and spoke to King Ferdinand I in front of him. Behind the kingdom are Prime Minister Geschov, Foreign Minister Dirasnoch and other high-ranking government officials.

Ferdinand I told his war minister. "Let's begin, Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov."

After Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov bowed his head slightly to the king, he picked up the commanding gang and began to explain. "Now what we need to face in Bulgaria is that Serbia has 210,000 troops stationed in Macedonia, including 190,000 troops in the Bitola and Ohrid regions that occupied our country, and about 60,000 troops in its own country. "Greece has more than 70,000 troops in the Thessaloniki area that occupied us, and 60,000 troops in its own country."

After Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov introduced the armies of the two countries, he began to talk about the Bulgarian army. "We Bulgaria has the largest number of troops among the three countries, reaching 360,000 troops. Since we currently need to attack the two countries, we are slightly less than the two countries in total troops. After deducting the three countries that need to defend against the Ottomans With 10,000 troops and 20,000 troops guarding other areas, we actually only have 310,000 troops."

Facing Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov's explanation, Ferdinand I and Prime Minister Geschov listened quietly without saying a word.

In fact, in the original history, Bulgaria did not have so many troops. It was all the result of the instigation of the butterfly Eder. At that time, there were only 300,000 troops in Bulgaria. And after the Balkan wars, the Bulgarian army has run out of ammunition. And now there are blood transfusions from Romania and Germany, so that the reserves of the Bulgarian army are still maintained above the normal line. Bulgaria has 761 guns and 683 machine guns now, 167 and 412 more than historically.

After Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov had finished speaking about the armies of both sides,

Begin to explain the plan prepared by the military. "In our plan, since the total military strength of the two countries is higher than that of our country, we are going to use the method of surprise."

Hearing that the raid would be an undeclared war, Foreign Minister Dirasnoch couldn't help but interrupted and asked. "Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov, isn't this approach too uncivilized."

The reason why Foreign Minister Dirasnoch said this is because the war pattern in Europe has always been to attack each other after declaring war on each other. Undeclared war will be cast aside as not the work of civilized nations. That's why Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II made the United States so angry.

Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov explained in the face of Foreign Minister Dirasnoch's words. "The population of Serbia and Greece is now 1.7 times that of ours. If we follow the normal war situation, it will be difficult for us to beat the Serbian coalition."

After hearing Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov's explanation, Foreign Minister Dirasnoch stopped his questioning.

Seeing that the foreign minister did not continue to object, Prime Minister Geschov spoke to him. "Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov, please continue."

"The main force we need to deal with this time is the Serbian army. For this reason, we have concentrated the first army, the third army, and the seventh and fourth divisions, with a total strength of 210,000. We are preparing the first army to attack Bito. In the La area, there are 60,000 Serbian Second Army in this area, and 80,000 of our First Army can completely defeat the opponent. The Third Army and the Fourth Division attack the Ohrid area, which is defended by Serbia. The 1st Army and the 3rd Army have a defensive strength of 130,000 people. Since we have the same strength as them here, the main target of our raid is here. The 7th Division passes between the two places, depending on the situation. ."

After listening to Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov's explanation, King Ferdinand found that this was not the same as the previous model of the Pau Serb War. However, both the size of the troops and the weapons and equipment are much better than those of that era.

But Ferdinand I still praised it. "You did a good job."

In the face of the king's praise, Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov was still a little embarrassed, but he still said it truthfully. "Your Majesty, our plan is still based on the revisions made in the last war."

Prime Minister Geschoff asked key questions. "Then when are we going to start, Your Majesty?"

Ferdinand I replied. "It depends on when Austria-Hungary is ready."

Bulgaria and Austro-Hungary had agreed to attack Serbia at the same time, but it ended because Germany did not support it. Because the Austro-Hungarian Empire could not bear the anger of Russia, in the past few decades, without the help of Germany, Austria-Hungary would have been cleaned up by Russia. So after Germany refused to provide the guarantee, Austria-Hungary sent the prime minister to lobby Germany, and now Germany's attitude has become a little hesitant.

After hearing the king's words, Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov said hesitantly. "Your Majesty, but we can't just wait like this. And the mood of the army is running high. If we don't start it, I'm afraid the situation will change."

Hearing Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov's words, Ferdinand I also walked back and forth thinking about the gains and losses. All the ministers looked at their king quietly, for fear of disturbing him, the whole room fell silent for a while.

In the end, Ferdinand I stopped as if he had made a decision, and said while looking at the ministers who were waiting for him to make a decision. "We'll just wait a week, and if there's no news yet, then let us resolve the current territorial issue on our own."
