After sending the Greeks away, Ferdinand's mood suddenly relaxed a lot. As soon as the Greek kingdom was established, the eyes of the Greeks shifted to the construction of the state, and there was no time to make trouble for him.

There is often a contradiction between the interests of countries!

Their contradictions with Bulgaria pale in comparison to the restoration of Greek glory, and their greatest enemy has now become the neighbouring Ethiopia.

As for whether the Greeks could succeed or not, Ferdinand was not optimistic about them, mainly because of the hard wound of the population, and now the number of Greeks is declining sharply.

There is no doubt that this is the pot of the Ottoman Empire, and as soon as ethnic cleansing began, it could not be stopped. For Bulgaria, the time is now ripe for landing on the peninsula of Asia Minor.

The Belt and Road Party is already here, the minorities within the Ottoman Empire are now about to welcome the king, and most importantly, Syria has also fallen.

Major General Vicky Clinton was worthy of his intelligence background and was skilled in business, and as soon as he took office, he formed five divisions of colonial troops, namely two Greek divisions, two Romanian divisions, and one Montenegrin division.

It has to be said that propaganda is very important, the ethnic cleansing carried out by the Ottoman Empire at home has long spread in Syria, although the Romanians and Greeks are not interested in Bulgaria, but there are Ottomans to make a comparison, for the safety of the family, they also had to take up arms and go to the front.

However, the composition of this separate Montenegrin division is a bit more complicated, many of them are supporters of the Ottoman Empire, who have just been rescued by Bulgaria from the Montenegrin kingdom, and are now starting to move again.

And Major General Vicky Clinton pretended not to see all this, and simply put these five divisions on the front line, taking over the defense area of the original Syrian garrison 1st Division.

Although their weapons and equipment are a little backward and their training is a little worse, under normal circumstances, it is probably not difficult to hold a defensive line with five times the original strength, right?

Of course, Major General Vicky Clinton's arrangement soon attracted questions from his subordinates, such as a major staff officer who once questioned: "General, our supervision of the colonial troops is too lax, and it is easy to have a big tail!" ”

This is certain, several colonial divisions and even high-ranking officers are selected by soldiers, and they are completely specialized in training warlords.

Major General Vicky Clinton replied coldly: "Mr. Major, all you need to do is to carry out the order, as for why you are doing this, and the consequences of doing so, I am clear."

As a soldier, it's better not to get involved in politics, I can only tell you that this is the meaning of domestic! ”

The Bulgarian army is not a Japanese army, they do not have the ability to do the following, and even if they are dissatisfied with the orders of Major General Vicky Clinton, all they can do is to petition for help at home.

In order to evacuate as soon as possible, Major General Vicky Clinton gathered the local Bulgarian population in the name of war and sent it to Palestine.

In addition, there was also centralized control of grain on the grounds of wartime rationing, and of course, when distributing food, it was still very lenient, and everyone could receive a week's worth of food in advance, which was still very generous.

He knew very well that there was still a fire left, so the opportunity for Bulgarian intelligence officers within the Ottoman Empire to behave.

One of them was Essad, who now serves as a junior staff officer in the Ottoman army.

After discovering that the Bulgarians had changed their defenses, the Ottomans were also taken aback, and the defenders on the opposite side suddenly became five times larger. Not to mention defense, even counter-offense can be done.

Even if they are all colonial troops, it is not easy to mess with, and they have already fought against the earliest Greek colonial troops.

Don't look at the bad relations between the Greeks and Bulgaria, and don't want to defend the colonies for Bulgaria, but they can't stand up to the worse relations with the Ottoman Empire.

Hundreds of thousands of Greeks fell under the butcher's knife during the Ottoman army's ravaging of the Greek peninsula, and almost every Greek had a personal vendetta against the Ottomans in terms of hatred.

After the Bulgarian bombing propaganda, it seems to them that once the Ottoman army occupies Syria, the tragedy of the year will be repeated! In this context, can their will to resist be weak?

This naturally gave the Ottoman army commander a headache, the combat effectiveness of the colonial troops was weaker, but their will to fight was not weak!

More than a year after the war began, the Ottoman army has suffered more than 150,000 casualties in Syria, but the results are still few.

The pressure on Commander Hadrei Pasha was also enormous, and strategically the Allies were now desperate for them to cut off the Suez Canal and cut off a maritime lifeline for the Allies.

Geographically, the Arabian Peninsula is a desert, not suitable for large armies, and the best option is to push all the way from Syria.

Now the Ottoman government has issued a death order for him to conquer Syria at all costs, and then fight all the way to the Suez Canal to block shipping.

Hadrei Pasha said fiercely: "The Bulgarian defenders on the opposite side only have five divisions and a bunch of colonial troops, and our more than 500,000 troops have not only failed to conquer the Syrian region in a year, but have also suffered heavy casualties, and the country is already very dissatisfied.

This time, I have promised the country that I will conquer the Syrian region within three months, and if I can't complete the task, we will go to see each other together~~ Now if you have any way, just say it quickly! ”

"General, ask for support from Japan! Although we have an advantage in numbers, we have been pressed and beaten by the Bulgarians in terms of firepower, otherwise they would not have been able to hold out until now! One person mentioned

Hadrei Pasha glared at him and said, "Two hundred thousand reinforcements have been sent to us from within the country, and they will arrive in half a month!" ”

There was no way, as soon as the world war broke out, their communication channel with the Allies was cut off, and without the support of the Allies' weapons and equipment, they could only rely on themselves.

In fact, the outbreak of the world war had greatly advanced the industrialization process of the Ottoman Empire. In order to meet their own weapons and equipment needs, they adopted the most primitive hand-built guns.

Also through submarines, a small amount of production equipment was obtained from the Allies, of course, this was limited to small parts, and there was no way for large equipment.

If the weapons and equipment are insufficient, they can only rely on manpower to make up them. By the time the war began, the Ottoman Empire had mobilized more than three million troops.

The Ottoman Empire in this time and space did not have the population of history, lost all the territory of Europe, and fought a war with Bulgaria on the peninsula of Asia Minor and suffered heavy losses.

Originally, there were more than 20 million people, but the Ottoman Empire had another wave of internal infighting, killing many ethnic minorities, and now their population is still a mystery, roughly no more than 18 million, and being able to mobilize more than 3 million troops is already the result of the outbreak.

Unfortunately, the Ottoman government still felt that the troops were insufficient, and more than a million Ottoman troops in the Caucasus were fighting a fierce war with the Russians, and in Syria there were hundreds of thousands, and they also had to defend against the possibility of Bulgaria landing on the peninsula of Asia Minor at any time.

This is also the reason why Ferdinand did not give the order to land on the Asia Minor Peninsula for a long time, if the landing was early, the more than 3 million Ottoman troops would have to fight to the death with Bulgaria, it is better to let them die first.

"Only 200,000 troops? General, now that there are more than 3 million people in Syria, Bulgaria can still mobilize another 300,000 or 400,000 troops there, even if they don't draw reinforcements from the country, we are not sure to break through their defense line! ”

An opposing voice sounded, which was immediately supported by many officers, and this is the actual situation, and everyone must not be worried.

Knowing that it was time for him to behave, Essad immediately spoke: "General, I have thought of a way to tear apart the Bulgarian defenses. ”

Everyone turned their eyes to him, and now Isad was only an ordinary staff officer, and he was able to appear at the meeting, or because he served as the recorder of the meeting, and the Ottoman army was very hierarchical, and he was not qualified to speak under normal circumstances.

But it's a special case now, isn't it? For Hadrei Pasha, as long as Syria can be conquered, who has an idea that is not an idea?

"Say!" Hadrei Pasha said solemnly

Isad confidently said: "General, the strongest fortresses are conquered from within!" The colonial forces in Syria are not of the same mind as Bulgaria, most of them were exiled here by Bulgaria, and there will definitely be resentment in their hearts, if we spend a lot of money to buy them, we can always find people who are willing to die for us! ”

"Haha, I thought it was a good idea? Do you think we didn't buy it? But we sent several groups of people, and without even having a chance to speak, we directly killed the Greeks brutally! One person sarcastically said

Hadrei Pasha's anticipatory heart fell silent again, they had done many times to bribe the colonial troops to defect, but they had not succeeded.

Aisad explained unhurriedly: "Just because we failed before doesn't mean we will fail now!"

You must know that the Greeks have a lot of hatred for us, and they do not accept our kindness, but that does not mean that the Romanians and Montenegrins do not accept our kindness either! ”

Essad's explanation made everyone's eyes shine, the Greeks had a deep hatred for the Ottoman army, and everyone knew that it was the aftermath of the Greco-Turkish war, and even if they bought officers, there was no way to buy so many soldiers!

But their hatred with the Romanians, Montenegrins, is much smaller. Even if there were, it was diluted over time, and it was entirely possible to buy some of them into their lives.

"Good! Major Essad's suggestion was made by you, and now I will leave this task to you to complete, with questions? Hadrei Pasha said cautiously

"Nope! As long as the troops on the front line ordered by the general can cooperate with my actions, then I can guarantee the completion of the mission! Essad affirmed

Hadley Pasha thought for a moment and said, "Okay, from now on the troops on the front line will cooperate with your actions, and the next thing is to see your performance!" ”

Don't look at what Hadrei Pasha said lightly, in fact it is already a high-risk job to buy the colonial troops now, and many people have already told them about it at the cost of blood before that!

Therefore, even now that there is hope for success, everyone still did not jump out and snatch this "good errand" with Essad!
