Facts have proved that the "Three Chapters of the Law" is still very effective. Since Ferdinand's commitment came out, the number of Leading Parties has skyrocketed, and the work of the Bulgarian government has also gone a lot smoothly. The Balkan people have spontaneously cooperated!
Unlike the previous rule to overthrow the Ottoman Empire, now in order to obtain land and a better life in the future, the energy is even more vigorous!
...
A sixth infantry division on the front line, a company with three battalions and two battalions, just sent away a group of volunteers and asked with a bitter smile: "This is the first wave?"
The deputy replied depressedly: "The company commander, this is the third wave today, it is only the morning, and it is estimated that there are still a few waves in the afternoon!"
The company commander cried without tears and said, "When is this day a head? We are here to fight, and now we have become a support station!"
The deputy nodded his head and sighed, "The Ottoman Empire is too frustrating. So many people have a deep hatred against them! It seems that the Taijierda officials are cruel enough. As soon as we get here, there are so many people to help! "
The company commander shook his head and said, "If that's the case! Have you read the documents issued by the government? Except for a small number of them, they are really willing to help us mostly for the land!"
The deputy exclaimed, "Ah! Are we really going to give them the land?"
"Of course! Is it possible that the Grand Duke guarantees in the name of the family, but can't regret it? But don't worry, the credit is not so good. Most people can finally get some financial rewards, and they won't grab land with us!" The company commander rolled his eyes and said
...
If it is the Bulgarian government's promise, ordinary people may doubt it. After all, the credibility of the government this year is not bad!
But Ferdinand vouched for the reputation of the Göteborg family, and no one ever doubted he would repent!
There is no way people can eat this set. The 9th century is the century of nobility! This is an era when family honor is higher than personal life. Overriding family reputation means that Ferdinand must complete!
Of course, the benefits are also huge. Inadvertently, Ferdinand has also been recognized by the Balkan nationalities and gained great popularity!
...
Chief of Staff of the First Group Army, Chief of Staff Petrov is waving his baton and pointing on the map!
"Look, here is Chatalja, the place we must pass to enter Constantinople!
The Ottomans built strict fortifications here, equipped with a large number of field guns, and their shore guns can also support!
According to our information, after the Armenian uprising, the Ottoman Empire moved its capital to Ankara, but they still have not cancelled the status of Constantinople's capital!
There are 30,000 troops stationed here; the Ottoman East Thrace Army, after the defeat of the Karagazi River, also retreated to Constantinople, which has about 25,000 people; and the Sudanese government from The Asia Minority Peninsula sent in reinforcements from four divisions, about 50,000 to 60,000.
In other words, over hundreds of square kilometers of land in front of us, there are more than 100,000 Ottoman troops!
And the Sudanese government is currently expanding its troops. Once the situation is tight, the Asian troops of the Ottoman Empire may continue to be reinforced! "
After listening to the introduction of the chief of staff, everyone was frowning, and the form before the First Army was very unfavorable!
One hundred thousand Ottoman troops, even if they are folded in half, there are 50,000 regular troops! If it is a field battle, you can dismiss it, any three Bulgarian divisions can handle them!
But the Ottomans were playing a battle, and it was a headache. At this moment Constantinople is a big battlefield inside and outside!
For the defense of Constantinople, the Ottoman Empire even deployed its shore guns on the Ospreus Strait, and turned the muzzle!
The formation of trenches + barbed wire + heavy machine guns is enough to cause headaches for any opponent. If they are equipped with heavy artillery, it will be even more unsolvable!
Popov slammed the table suddenly and said, "Everything cheers me up. Don't put on a bitter face. I don't know I thought I lost the battle!"
Is the Ottoman terrible? What about a group of men defeated by our squatters, even if the turtle shell is set up? Shatter their turtle shells for Lao Tzu, just fine! "
Popov's words immediately awakened the sitting officer, no matter how bad the situation was, the battle was about to be fought! It's all here, but can't we stop it?
Chief of Staff Petrov said in a righteous voice: "If anyone wants to quit now, it's too late to say, immediately take off this military uniform and get out of the way! I'm used to the wind, and now I'm stubborn and soft?
Bulgaria lacks everything, just the generals who dare to fight hard! The current situation is not much better than at the beginning of the war!
In order to successfully conquer Constantinople, another heavy artillery regiment fell in the country, and the 6th Infantry Division was temporarily assigned to our First Army.
The artillery promised by the Russians was also in place, with three hundred heavy artillery guns of more than 50 calibers.
Don't tell me, we have nearly 200,000 troops, thousands of artillery, and we can't attack Constantinople! "
...
After the pre-war mobilization work, Lieutenant General Popov and Petrov's chief of staff looked at each other with a grin. This is a hard fight!
Until Constantinople, you don't know how abnormal this fortress city is. The fortresses of various sizes are densely packed and the densely packed positions are intertwined!
More than a dozen regular Ottoman troops had to topple a group of rebels in the past. They had tossed for four or five months and injured 40,000 or 50,000 people. You know how abnormal the fortress in the city is!
The bitter battle returns to the bitter battle, the battle is still going to be fought! In the early morning of May 24, 1997, the First Army was fully prepared and the battle of Constantinople was officially launched!
The first to play was the heavy artillery regiment, especially the three hundred heavy artillery borrowed from the Russians, and the Ottomans were stunned in one shot!
At this moment, there is no peace in Constantinople either. The firepower advantage with high hopes no longer exists!
Supreme Commander Edel Pasha said to himself: "What's wrong! How could Bulgaria have so many large-caliber artillery?
Is it the Russians? But with so many guns, the entire Ottoman Empire may not be able to make up for it. Is the Russian crazy? Did they send all the heavy artillery in their country?
No Must ask for additional reinforcements in China, or Constantinople can't keep up! "
I have to say that Edel Pasha guessed very accurately. For the Bosphorus, the Russians really did their best. In order to get together these three hundred artillery pieces, they even dismantled the shore guns deployed in Odessa!
A "report!" Came from outside the door, interrupting Edel Pasha's thoughts.
"Come in!"
An lieutenant ran in and said in a hurry: "The news came from the artillery position that they had been locked by Bulgarian fire and asked to be transferred!"
Edel Pasha said annoyingly: "I see, don't bother me with such trivial matters, let them decide for themselves!"
Well, Edel Pasha is not a military strongman originally, but he is a nobleman of the Ottoman Empire and a close relative of the Sudan. It just happened to be a little military, and after some hard work, the position of chief commander fell to On his head!
Constantinople was originally very safe. In the rear, it was one of the capitals of the Ottoman Empire, and it was heavily armed around.
Unfortunately, as soon as the Balkan War broke out, only twenty days later, the Ottoman army was defeated, and the capital Constantinople became the front line!
As a city defense officer in the capital, it logically became the front commander! Oh, no one has argued with him this time. As soon as the front line came down, dozens of officers in Constantinople left for various reasons!
As commander-in-chief, Edel Pasha, it is not so easy to leave! He also thought about pretending to be sick or having an accidental fracture, but unfortunately he was not given a chance at home!
"The city is here, the city is gone!"
This is the death order issued by the Sudan. Now any soldier or officer in the city has enjoyed the same treatment and wants to run late!
