Chapter 753： Gather Nebula

According to the terms of the covenant, Austria, Russia, Greece, and Black have sent troops: 350,000, 336,000, 26,000, and 33,000, respectively. Austrian Chief of Staff Albrecht is the commander in chief of the coalition forces.

Looking at this number, we know that this is going to destroy the country. You should know that in the last Near Eastern War, Russia and Austria sent troops to less than 300,000, and the Ottoman Empire was skeptical of life.

The most important thing in joint operations is coordination. The biggest problem is the lack of language and communication difficulties, which increases the difficulty of cooperating with various forces in joint operations.

In the second half of May, the four nations worked on this problem. Albrecht, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, held several joint meetings to coordinate organizational relations.

The slow movement of the coalition forces gave the Ottoman government hope, and Abdul Hamid II ordered national mobilization.

The Ottoman government has madly relaxed the age of mobilization to 12 years old. Those who can carry a gun upwards are counted. There is no such limit.

In the past years, Ottomans have drawn too much hatred. All four countries in the Anti-Turkish Alliance are their feuds, and there is no possibility of relaxation.

Life or death is the easiest way to stimulate the potential of a country. Under the pressure of extinction, the Ottoman reformers, conservatives, and religious forces tacitly stopped fighting.

...

Downing Street, British Foreign Minister George in the Prime Minister's residence: "The Ottoman government has done a good job and they are desperately ready.

The Prime Minister of the Ottoman government, Midhart Pasha, has released the ultimate mobilization campaign to mobilize 2 million troops to fight the anti-Turkish alliance. "

The Prime Minister of Gladstone was shocked: "How is it possible that Ottoman wants 2 million troops? What is their population and what do they rely on to maintain this army?"

Don't look at the mobilization of millions of troops in both countries during the Russian-Prussian war, think that mobilization is simple.

As a nation that can mobilize 2 million troops across Europe, as long as the four countries, Britain, France, Russia, and Austria, can no longer find the fifth.

Spain may be able to mobilize so many young people, but Spain's national strength simply cannot support it. The German Federation and the Nordic Federation at the back, even the number is not even.

In addition to the hardware requirements, this level of mobilization is also a test of the ability of government organizations.

The mobilization does not mean that you can mobilize immediately. Take Britain as an example, do n’t say to mobilize two million when you explode, even five million can explode.

The problem is that it takes time, and the most important thing on the battlefield is time. Now is the age of hot weapons, not to recruit young people into the army, even if the mobilization is completed.

Perhaps ordinary soldiers can be sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder after training for ten days and a half months; however, these technical arms can not be cultivated in a short time.

At the peak of the Ottoman Empire, it was not capable of 2 million troops. Now half-life Ottoman, it is not reliable to mobilize 200 troops.

Foreign Minister George said without a change: "The numbers are a bit exaggerated, but this can also be seen from the side of the determination of the Ottoman government.

To know that Ottoman is a special country, it is entirely possible for all people to be soldiers. With a population of seven or eight million, there is still hope for two million troops.

Of course, this needs our help. Once in the state of all soldiers, domestic production in Ottomans is basically a waste, and it will not be long before they can be supported by their national strength ... "

Chancellor of the Exchequer Xiaozhi Childers interrupted: "Sir, this war in the Near East is extraordinary, and the Vienna government has made up its mind to drop Ottoman.

From the current situation, the Ottoman Empire is very unlikely to survive.

Now that we invest in them, it is impossible to recover them, and the government cannot waste taxpayer money. "

War is a swallowing beast. Even the wealth of the British Empire must be considered before proceeding.

"Do not!"

"How can this be waste?"

George explained: "Without Ottoman buffering, we have to face the polar bear and the double-headed eagle.

It can be imagined that once such things happen, the Indian defense war will not be far off.

The Ottomans are ready to desperately. As long as we support them with a batch of supplies, the Ottomans will do their best to block the double-headed eagle and polar bear.

Rather than spending a lot of money on the Indian defense war, support Ottoman with less money ... "

Chancellor of the Exchequer Xiaozhi Childers rolled his eyes in disdain and poured the cold water directly: "The prerequisite is that the Ottomans can win. Otherwise, it will not have any meaning except to intensify the contradictions and let the Indian defense war break out early."

The Chancellor of the Treasury is very obvious, that is, he is not optimistic about the Ottomans. Once the war was lost, Ottoman no longer existed, and Britain did not have the ability to make Vienna and St. Petersburg bear debt.

Even the sponsorship of Ottomans caused strong dissatisfaction between the two countries, which led to the conclusion of a treaty that divides India.

Foreign Minister George insisted: "The account cannot be counted like this. Ottoman's odds of winning are really low, but with our support, they can support it for a longer time.

Of the four anti-Turkish alliance countries, Greece and Montenegro only followed the numbers. Although the Russians had good military strength, they had no money in their pockets and the war funding was destined to be paid by Austria.

We put a penny on the Ottomans, and the Anti-Turkish Alliance would have to pay several times the price to win the war.

France is no longer useful, and even if Napoleon IV suppressed the rebellion, it would take several years to slow down.

Using this war to bleed Austria and drain their financial resources is crucial to maintaining continental balance.

What's more, the international situation is changing, and it has been protracted for a long time. It can always change, and it may be possible to reverse the situation. "

Anything else can be taken as nonsense. The use of this war to drain Austria's financial resources still attracted the attention of Gladstone.

It is easier to destroy than to build. If you ca n’t keep Ottoman, you can destroy Ottoman. It is best to be white. Even if you expand your territory, you will not be able to strengthen Austria.

Harm and disadvantage are also dependent on the loss ratio of both parties. The trick of "threatening three hundred and killing a thousand by oneself" can be used as an odd means of victory.

The game of great powers can no longer simply calculate gains and losses. In a sense, as long as the competitors lose more than me, it is victory.

...

Constantinople, an ancient city, has a strong smell of gunpowder, and the Anti-Turkish Union Headquarters is located in a metropolis with a very significant political significance.

This is also a political compromise between Russia and Austria. The chief commander of the coalition is sent by Austria, and the headquarters is placed on the Russian territory to show that Russia and Austria are equal in the alliance.

At this moment, the coalition command has gathered the nebula. It can be said that "the generals leave the house, the marshal is the high-level".

There is no way. After the Russian-Prussian War, the Russian army was compressed from more than 5 million at its peak to more than 500,000. Even if the Near East War broke out, it only increased to more than 700,000 people.

After the compression establishment, it is normal operation to change from the army commander to the division commander and the division commander to the regimental commander.

In this context, it is difficult to think of the rank of general in the Russian army.

Originally, major generals and colonel chiefs of all countries were not applicable to the Russians. The lowest-level teachers were all lieutenants.

The Near East War was regarded as the best opportunity to gain military merit. Naturally, followers gathered, and as a result, the Lieutenant Generals came out.

Perhaps it was influenced by the Russians who wanted to have an equal dialogue on the battlefield. Montenegro and Greece also promoted "provisional generals" and "provisional marshals".

Especially the Marshal of the Principality of Montenegro, probably the most tragic Marshal of his era, had only one strengthening force in his hand.

So many generals directly increase the difficulty of Albrecht coordination. According to the convention: higher ranks are usually appointed as masters on the battlefield.

If this is done, the Austrian army will suffer a great deal in cooperation.

There is no such thing as "temporary rank" or "temporary marshal" in Austria, and Franz will not do such indecent things.

Reciprocity is impossible, and all Austrian generals can't wait.

Albrecht, the chief of staff, who came to serve as the coalition commander himself, was actually inevitable.

Without war, the promotion of soldiers is naturally unhappy. The Austrian military system has matured. Without sufficient military skill, it is impossible to become a marshal regardless of how senior they are.

With the death of the older generation, Albrecht became the only marshal of the Austrian military, and directly became the best candidate for the commander-in-chief of the coalition.

Military Command, Major General Bartolomé: "Commander, this is the 128 incidents of harassment and fighting in the past three days. The Military Law Department arrested 358 people, including three generals."

The army of the four nations gathered, and the security of Constantinople also deteriorated sharply. In this city of nebulae, the police are really powerless.

At the request of the mayor of Constantinople, Albrecht formed the Allied Military Law Division, which unfortunately has the power to arrest people but not the right to dispose of them.

Coalition forces are allies, there is no relationship between superiors and subordinates, and the sentencing standards of military laws in different countries are not the same.

Generally speaking, as long as no major events are tossed out, it will be fine at the end.

Without the ability to kill chickens and tamarins, the deterrent effect of the military law department is naturally poor.

Developed to this day, the work of the Military and Legal Division is to catch people every day-let them go-let them go-let them go ... every now and then.

Less than half a month after the formation of the coalition command, some people have achieved a brilliant record of seven in and seven out.

Albrecht nodded characteristically. Constantinople is a place for the Russians. The Russians are not in a hurry, and he is not good at being this evil person.

In fact, Saint Petersburg has the most Russian troops, and most of the violations of military discipline are also Russian officers and soldiers.

Looking at the chaotic coalition forces, Albrecht has no hope of this joint operation.

You should know that all the military generals or guards who entered Constantinople were relatively long-term brains compared to ordinary soldiers.

However, my brain couldn't bear the alcohol, and the problem of a few glasses of wine came out. More than 95% of military discipline violations occurred after drinking.

Fighting for jealousy and fighting are all trivial matters. Overlord meals and shopping without paying are all normal operations. The most strange thing is that people are dueling on the street.

As long as you drink too much, nothing strange is impossible.

There is no tomorrow on the battlefield today. Before the outbreak of the war, the pressure needs to be relieved. It is not surprising that the soldiers at the bottom are so indulgent.

Under normal circumstances, this level of generals should not be in trouble, but the Russian army is an exception. Due to the war, a large number of dark horses rose in the Russian army.

These people have a good ability to fight, and their ability to violate military discipline is directly proportional to their ability to fight. At first Albrecht wanted to be restrained, but after seeing it a lot, he gave up.

Albrecht was too lazy to ask what happened: "Close them up for a day and then let the representatives of the nations lead them."

Deep down, Albrecht has made up his mind not to let the army and the Russian army stay together. If there is more contact, it will be a big trouble to learn these bad things.

With the idea of ​​dividing the troops together, it will never linger again. There was a constant voice in his mind telling him that taking such a large group to the battlefield would be killed by the pig teammates.
