Chapter 129, Serbia is going to be desperate

In contrast, Serbia on the other side is much worse, and Alexander I, who is far away in Belgrade, is white-headed!

The war has just begun, and there is a continuous stream of bad news from the front! Obviously, it is his own side that has superior forces, but the result is always defeated!

Regarding the rhetoric of the generals of the front, Alexander I was noncommittal, and the Bulgarians were so powerful? With a firepower advantage, you are invincible?

Alexander I asked angrily: "Minister of War, how do you explain the successive defeats at the front?" ”

The Minister of War, who was named, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and after organizing his thoughts, he said: "Your Majesty, you know: Bulgaria is attacking in three directions this time, and the strategic plan we have formulated is - 'Let him go as many ways as he wants, I will only go one way'!"

This time we chose to defeat their attack on Niš all the way, and took a defensive position in other areas, and some losses were inevitable!

At present, our strategy is correct, if our troops are divided into three ways and they lead us by the nose, we will not be able to give full play to our superiority in troops!

Now there are small defeats on the front, but the main forces remain, and as long as General Subolovvich is able to take out the enemy in the Niš region, we will have an advantage in this war!

So far, General Subolovich has reported to us on the situation at the front, and the two lines of defense that the Bulgarians broke through were originally used to lure the enemy deeper!

Even if it is broken through in advance, it doesn't matter, no matter how we say that in the Niš region, we have more than 200,000 troops, four times more than the enemy, and victory is a matter of time! ”

The Minister of War said earlier, everyone was a fart, all to make excuses for defeat, of course, it is the time of the war, and everyone has no energy to pick thorns!

The last sentence convinces everyone, no matter how good the Bulgarian army is, it is impossible to defeat four with one! More than 200,000 Serbian troops, to defeat 50,000 enemy troops, everyone is still full of confidence!

Of course, Alexander I also knew, if it weren't for the fact that the war was still going on, he would definitely send all the generals who lost the battle to a military court!

In his opinion, having an absolute superiority in troops and still losing battles is either incompetent, or greedy for life and afraid of death!

Alexander I still vividly remembers that after the defeat in the Bulgarian War nine years ago, his father, King Milan, was forced to abdicate and leave Serbia!

The king of Milan did not say good things about the military, waste, fools, cowards are the words of the Serbian army!

With superiority in troops, superiority in firepower, or a surprise attack, it turned out that the regular army did not win against a ragtag army of temporary recruitment!

Alexander I was always skeptical about the combat effectiveness of the Serbian army, and after he became pro-government, he always wanted to carry out military reforms, but unfortunately they were all blocked by the military!

Now that the facts are in front of him, the first thing that Alexander I thought of was not how strong the Bulgarian army was, but that he was a lieutenant general who was greedy for life and afraid of death! The proof is that the battle was lost, and the senior officers are still alive!

Even with the Serbian army, the fact that the weapons and equipment are backward, and the logistics supply is not in place, is ignored by him!

He glared at the Minister of War and asked, "Prime Minister, what do you think?" ”

The prime minister, who was named, was silent for a while and said: "Your Majesty, this issue is complicated!

If General Subolovich can quickly achieve victory in the Niš region, then the battle will be bigger!

On the contrary, if it drags on for a few days, and when the enemy's reinforcements arrive, our superiority in strength will no longer exist, and I am afraid that it will be difficult at that time!

And if the war continues, the logistical pressure on us will be too great!

The current inflation in China is already very serious, and the normal life of the people has been affected! We can't fight a protracted war, and with the current war attrition, maybe in two or three months, we will go bankrupt! ”

Listening to the pessimistic prediction of the Prime Minister, Alexander I's face became even more gloomy, and he said fiercely: "Give orders to the front-line troops, from now on: those who retreat die, and those who surrender die!" ”

Seeing that everyone wanted to stop it, Alexander I added: "You all know very well that in order to win this war, we in Serbia must fight hard!"

Any fluke will make us lose this war! In that case, let's fight! Our army is not as good as the enemy's combat strength and firepower, but we have an advantage in troops!

Then let's fill it with human lives! Use the tactics of crowds to kill them for me, one for one can't do it, just use two, three, one!

In short, we can't afford to lose this war, and neither can Serbia! ”

After saying that, Alexander I left without looking back, and now he finally began to regret it! Blindly going to war with Bulgaria, Serbia simply does not have time to prepare for war!

It is not yet known whether Serbia will be finished if this war is lost; These high-ranking government officials will definitely be finished!

In that case, let's fill it with human lives! Even if it is a draw, or it is barely blocked, they have a way to get through this political crisis! Anyway, the ones who died were untouchables, and they didn't have to die!

Everyone looked at each other, no one said anything, and then they all set their eyes on the Minister of War! The meaning is obvious, since the king has given the order, then carry it out!

After much hesitation, the Minister of War nodded silently, and then a sternly worded telegram poured to the front!

After receiving the telegram, Subolovich's face turned pale, this is going to kill!

After thinking about it and thinking about it, after a few hesitations, he still decided to carry it out! In order to win, I can't care so much now, even if I am scolded by the soldiers, it is not good to lose the battle!

"Someone is coming, immediately call the officers above the colonel to come over for a meeting, and if they can't come at the front, let them open the telegram and wait for the news!" Subolovvich said with a sigh

Anyway, after this battle, he put on the hat of the butcher general!

……

Compared with the outstanding exploits of the Left Route Army and the Right Route Army, the Middle Route Army, as the main force, is now belatedly and has just launched a full-scale offensive!

It's not that they are incompetent, but the main thing is to wipe out the enemy south of the lower reaches of the South Morava River, and if they fight too hard, the enemy will not run away!

The two main regiments of the Guards, borrowed from the Ottoman Empire, interspersed from the Kumanovo area, detoured to the rear of the Serbian army, and cut off the retreat of the Serbian army!

The command of the Central Route Army, everyone is still celebrating the success of this adventure! I didn't know that the Serbs had decided to fight hard, the overseers were already in place, and the soldiers on the front line couldn't run if they wanted to!
