In fact, Ferdinand did not take the agreement reached with Britain and France to heart, and the distribution of benefits ultimately depended on his fists.

As long as Bulgaria actually occupies these places, these places will naturally be Bulgarian territory. On the other hand, if Bulgaria did not have the strength to occupy these territories, then Britain and France would not mind re-dividing them.

To Ferdinand's real satisfaction, the contradictions between England and France were much greater than he had anticipated, which meant that the diplomatic environment in Bulgaria would be much better after the war.

After all, the French wanted to expand on the European continent, but the British did not want the French to become bigger, and there were natural contradictions between the two sides in this regard that could not be reconciled.

But it didn't matter to Ferdinand, if the French were awesome enough, they could expand as much as they wanted, and he didn't have any ideas about Western and Central Europe anyway.

As for unifying Europe, even Napoleon did not do it, Ferdinand did not believe that the current Gallic chickens could do it, and the continental balance should be left to the British to play by themselves!

Ferdinand did not yet know that under his butterfly effect, both Britain and France effectively imitated Bulgaria's intentions.

It's a pity that the British who are lonely overseas are destined to be a natural disadvantage in this regard, and now it is impossible to return to the European continent, and they will send the Irish away at most, and it is estimated that this will be difficult to do!

The French, on the other hand, were already planning to pack the Germans out and the French to annex Central Europe, according to the ideas of some radicals.

Ferdinand can only say that they are naïve about what these people think. If the Germans were to be beaten to pieces, there was still a slight chance that their ideas would be realized; If, as in history, the Germans still had military strength, they surrendered.

If the French dare to move, and John Bull is backing another wave, war will break out soon, will they be able to withstand the Gallic chickens?

Of course, if the Gallic chickens were smart enough to run away and bully the Italians, this did not seem to be a big problem, and they had an absolute advantage in force.

Anyway, these have nothing to do with Ferdinand, the strength of a country is always in itself, not in the decline of its opponents, of course, the Americans are an exception!

As long as he thinks about it, the large number of deserts on the territory of Bulgaria in the future will give Ferdinand a headache, should he still formulate a century-old plan - planting trees and planting trees?

Forget it, this problem is still a headache in the future, anyway, this can't be solved overnight!

……

The European continent was still full of gunsmoke, and after the conditions were negotiated, 33 infantry divisions and two artillery divisions were sent to reinforce France.

There is no doubt that these are previously recruited mercenary legions. Of course, Ferdinand was still very disciplined, these troops were recruited before the outbreak of the world war, and they had fought with Austria-Hungary, Romania, and the Kingdom of Montenegro, and had rich combat experience.

The combat power is there, and I am not afraid of what the British and French say. Anyway, for Britain and France, holding the Verdun line is the key, as long as the reinforcements have combat effectiveness, as for the difference between Bulgarians and woolly bears, this really doesn't matter!

With a reduction of 500,000 troops, it is natural to recruit another 500,000, but fortunately, there are enough cannon fodder prepared before, and this number can be quickly replenished.

At the time when Ferdinand sent troops to reinforce France, there was also a change on the Eastern Front, and the Russians launched a winter offensive.

Due to Ferdinand's butterfly effect, at the beginning of the war, the Russians aimed at Austria-Hungary and did not blindly attack East Prussia, so naturally there was no initial defeat.

Now seeing that the French are about to be overwhelmed, as the "European gendarme" Mao Xiong should naturally exert his strength, and from the information from Russia, Ferdinand knew that the commander of the Russian Southwestern Front, General Brusilov, who was in charge of commanding the battle.

He also has an amazing identity - the founder of the Blitzkrieg, and it is also the historical Brusilov who commanded the Russian army to win the victory of the Brusilov offensive.

It's just that historically, the time of the Brusilov offensive took place in the summer, and now the time of the outbreak is in the winter.

However, the winter in Germany and Austria is a piece of cake for the woolly bear, and compared with their domestic ones, this can be regarded as spring-like warmth, of course, provided that the Russians have the concept of spring in their hearts!

However, Mao Xiong is Mao Xiong in the end, and they have a total of three armies on the Eastern Front, namely the Southwest Front, the Western Front, and the Northern Front, and this time they launched attacks on Germany and Austria at the same time.

The whole world has fully seen what the crowd tactics are, and the entire Eastern Front battlefield, more than 4.8 million Russian troops, launched attacks at the same time.

Seeing Ferdinand's eyes dizzy, a little military common sense doesn't wait to play like this! He wanted to greet the Russian staff that formulated the strategy, did his brain get into water, and if so many troops launched an attack at the same time, he had considered logistics?

He couldn't control the bad things of the Russians, but he still ordered to pay close attention to the war situation, in case the Russians made a big news to break through on all fronts, then Bulgaria would stab Austria-Hungary again and snatch the spoils of war!

Of course, he thinks that the Russians have a better chance of a big defeat! Now the momentum is getting bigger, the German reinforcements are also coming, the trouble is coming, the gap in strength, Brusilov alone is not useful!

In any case, the momentum of the Russians has been created, and no one knows what will happen to the outcome of the battle.

Of course, for the French, the Russians did a very good job this time, at least the Germans had to send troops to reinforce the Eastern Front.

Otherwise, with their three or four hundred thousand defenders and the more than three million Austro-Hungarian troops, it would be unreliable to look at nearly five million gray cattle!

……

When he received the information that the Germans had sent troops to reinforce the Eastern Front, Ferdinand began to mourn for the Russians.

Anyway, after the German army reinforces the Eastern Front, it will definitely come up with a record, although the Balkan defense line of Bulgaria is not as good as Verdun, but it can't stand their thickness!

According to Ferdinand's idea, it was basically a line of defense on a few hills, and although it was not so strong, it was the best option to delay time.

Except for a limited number of places that must be defended, the rest of the places are basically a series of small defense lines piled up with a large defense line.

The Austro-Hungarian army had already learned this, and finally launched a surprise attack to break through the position, and then the Bulgarian army immediately reacted and recaptured the position again.

If you want to drive straight ahead, you can only fight all the way, and after a few battles, Austria-Hungary gave up its plan for a decisive battle with Bulgaria.

Obviously, what the Germans wanted was a quick victory, and a war of attrition with Bulgaria was very uneconomical, that is, they could not achieve the desired results and could not solve the crisis on the Eastern Front.

Then the Eastern European Plain is the best breakthrough, and only in the plain area can the German army achieve a quick victory. Moreover, the Germans also had to deal with the main forces of the Russian army before their eastern front would be safe.

……

St. Petersburg, in the Winter Palace, Nicholas II is still in high spirits.

It had been almost a year since the outbreak of the world war, and he was very dissatisfied that the Russian army had not yet produced impressive results.

Due to Ferdinand's butterfly effect, with the rise of Bulgaria, Austria-Hungary faced two powerful opponents at the same time, and they naturally would not be stupid enough to take the initiative.

As a result, the Austro-Hungarian Empire became an ostrich and honestly played positional warfare, and the woolly bear couldn't help them for a while, so naturally there was no record of shooting.

However, the French resisted the German attack, and although they were outdogs, they still fought with the Germans; The British also locked up the navy of the Germans, and the army was still supporting the French; Even Bulgaria, the former little brother, was thriving, first overthrowing the Italian navy, then almost unifying the Balkans, and now preparing to attack the Ottoman Empire.

This was still unbearable for the arrogant Nicholas II, who couldn't show off their success in defeating the Ottomans in the Caucasus, right?

He can't afford to lose that person, and now it's Russia's turn to break out, after such a long time of preparation, the Russian army has finally gathered weapons and ammunition, and it can break out!

Of course, the main thing is the distribution of interests after the war, and now that the Russian Empire cannot come up with a convincing record, why should it divide the most delicious cake at that time?

You must know that after the "Russo-Japanese War", the status of the Russian Empire in Europe has dropped significantly, and many people think that the "European gendarme" is old!

This is not good news, everyone knows that you can retire when you are old!

And after the outbreak of the world war, the performance of the Russian army could only be very average, and under the support of its peers, it could also be described as bad.

The name doesn't live up to its name!

This was undoubtedly disastrous for the tsarist government, and once all European countries believed that the strength of the Russian Empire was "not worthy of the name", then not only would they not think about the establishment of the "Slavic Empire", but even the distribution of benefits after the war would not have much say in them!

It can be said that the great powers are very realistic, and before the outbreak of the world war, Bulgaria was still at the bottom of the voice among the great powers.

However, with the outbreak of the world war, Bulgaria's strength has been recognized by the outside world, and its influence in the Entente has greatly increased, while the influence of the Russians is declining.

"Your Majesty, our best opportunity to attack has been missed. Now that German reinforcements are reinforcing the Eastern Front, our strategic purpose of relieving the military pressure on the French has been achieved, and there is no need to continue this big battle! "Chief of the General Staff Nikolai Jr. Nikolaevich. Romanov proposed

According to his idea, since the Germans have been mobilized and the crisis of the French has been temporarily lifted, there is no need to fight this war again.

Of course, this is only from a military point of view, but politically it is completely different!

Militarily, it is the best strategy to let the Germans constantly move on the eastern and western fronts, and eventually drag down the Germans after exhaustion!

Politically, though, now the Russian Empire needs a victory, and a victory that will amaze the world!

The Prime Minister smiled and retorted: "Mr. Chief of the General Staff, if it is purely military, there is no problem with your opinion.

But politically, now the Russian Empire has to fight, which is about our position in the Entente, and about the distribution of interests in the future.

If we stop attacking this time and go on the defensive, the century-old prestige accumulated by the Russian Empire will be ruined! ”

War Minister Alexei Andreevich Polivanov sneered and said: "Mr. Prime Minister, the prestige is all gained, and we will not be completely sure of victory if we launch a full-scale offensive now!"

If the battle is lost at the front, the consequences will be even more serious. Rather than that, it would be more reliable for us to reduce the scale of the war and increase the certainty of victory!

I don't think it's necessary to launch an offensive on three sides at the same time, two of them will make a feint, and one of the fronts will be able to attack the main one, and even if something happens, it's within our control!

And we have to take into account logistics, the front-line troops have only a month and a half of combat material reserves, and once this time is exceeded, we need to transport them in the rear.

And our domestic material reserves are also very limited, and it is almost impossible to support the battle of nearly five million troops at the same time!

Moreover, even if the government has the means to gather this batch of supplies, with our poor transportation conditions, it will not be able to complete this huge transportation task! ”

Compared to the same period in history, the Russians in this time and space had a much better life, and due to the presence of Bulgaria, their external lines of communication were not completely cut off.

At the same time, there is no PK with the Germans, and their army losses are not as heavy as they are in history.

At least historically, there has not been a situation in which a few Russian soldiers had only one rifle. Although there are still a variety of equipment, in the end, it is still possible to have one rifle per person, and the supply of weapons and ammunition is still barely enough.

This gave the tsarist government the illusion that it felt good about itself, and that they could take out the German-Austrian forces on the Eastern Front as long as the Russian Empire exerted its strength.

As long as this battle is won, then the war will also be over, and as the greatest hero, the Russian Empire is naturally entitled to the biggest cake.

Of course, it is not excluded that someone received money from Britain and France. After all, in order to promote Russia's attack, Britain and France also spent a lot of money, and the cost of tackling key problems was naturally indispensable.

The Foreign Secretary suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, Britain and France have promised that they are willing to bear all the costs of this attack if we launch it.

As for the lack of supplies, which the Minister of War feared, the Entente could also provide. We have reached an agreement with Bulgaria and they will coordinate the capacity to ensure our supplies! ”

Nicholas II, who had already wavered, was once again tempted that if Britain and France could bear all the expenses and be responsible for the supply of strategic materials, then it would not be a big deal to fight this war.

In his opinion, as long as these problems are solved, the probability of losing the war has been reduced to a minimum. It's a big deal to take human lives and the Allies, anyway, the last thing Russia lacks is gray livestock.

Nicholas II asked uneasily: "Can the promises made by Britain and France be fulfilled?" There are not a few supplies to support the five million army in battle, how can they ensure transportation? ”

The Foreign Minister said calmly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, we have negotiated with Bulgaria, and if the supplies of Britain and France cannot be supplied in the short term, they can advance a part of it." ”

Well, Ferdinand didn't know when he had agreed to advance strategic supplies for Britain and France.

However, there were not too many things to deceive the tsarist government, and now their main purpose was to fool Nicholas II into launching a full-scale attack on Germany and Austria. Some side details, Britain and France will take care of it!

Nicholas II nodded with satisfaction and asked, "If Britain and France can do what they promised, then can we attack?" ”

War Minister Alexei Andreyevich Polivanov thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, I still propose to reduce the scale of the war......"

Nicholas II said dissatisfiedly: "Enough, the difficulties you said have been solved, can't we launch a full-scale attack?"

It is imperative to end this war as soon as possible and get the loot we want!

Don't you know how much this war has already cost the Russian Empire?

Almost all of our international commerce has stopped. If the war continues, our domestic economy will collapse! ”

Obviously, Nicholas II was not an idiot either, and still knew something about the domestic situation. The people of the Russian Empire are not living very well, and the standard of living of everyone has been greatly reduced due to the war!
