On July 21, 1917, the Chief of Staff of the Balkans, General Imya Dimitev, completed the rendezvous with the Russians in the Liberec region of the Czech Republic.

Originally, he was wondering why the Russians were moving so quickly this time, but now after seeing them, all the doubts have been solved, and they are all forced by the stomach!

In order to save food, their troops, who went to the Czech region and Bulgaria to join the division, set off with only a small amount of rations, which means that they were marching hungry, and now they naturally have to replenish it fiercely!

There is even more pit news, the Russian generals directly asked him for weapons and ammunition supplies, this large Russian army with a number of 1.35 million, only has less than 300,000 rifles, plus more than 10,000 pistols, this is all their weapons and equipment!

The rest of the weapons and equipment, according to the Russians, were left in place for the sake of "the speed of the soldiers", and this explanation was naturally not believed by Imya Dimitev, who knew that the Russians had left their weapons and equipment for other combat units.

After all, now that the number of people has been halved, what could have been enough to support a week's worth of supplies can be supported for half a month, and through this method, the Russians have added time to their logistics and transportation.

As for the Russian troops who came to join the Bulgarian army, it is obvious that they are no longer here to fight, their main purpose is just to make a living.

In the face of this group of pit goods, it is no wonder that Admiral Imya Dimitev is in a good mood! He can also replenish a batch of ammunition for the Russians, and as for weapons and equipment, even if he turns the armament depot in the Balkans upside down, he can't get together the equipment of a million people!

However, the two sides are still allies in the end, and now Admiral Imia Dimityev still needs these Russians, at least it is good to be cannon fodder for these Russians, and he no longer has to worry about not being able to break through the central defense line of the Germans, and it is a big deal to let go of the woolly bears.

Admiral Imya Dimitev patiently explained: "General Alexey is sorry, I can only provide you with a batch of supplies now, and in terms of weapons and ammunition, I can only provide you with 30,000 rifles, 500 machine guns, 100 artillery pieces and a batch of ammunition!" ”

Admiral Alexei Alekseevich Brusilov's face was a little hot, obviously they were a little embarrassed this time, of course, in front of interests, face is worthless!

For the weapons and equipment provided by Admiral Imya Dimitev, he is not too little, in fact, their main purpose is to obtain supplies of living materials, for the Russian army, as long as they can control the rest of the clouds, anyway, it is impossible for the Bulgarians to let them go to the battlefield with their bare hands.

"The hands of the people are short, and the mouth of the people is short!"

Alexei lowered his attitude and replied with a smile: "General Imia is polite, it's already good to have these supplies!" ”

Seeing that the attitude of the Russians is good, Admiral Imya Dimitev's mood is a little better, and he still needs these Russians to work for his life later?

And an order has been sent from the country to let him try his best to obtain the actual command of this Russian army, once something happens in Russia, this will be a sharp weapon for Bulgaria's future intervention in Russia's domestic war!

It is obviously impossible to obtain command without the cooperation of the Russians, and the only advantage now is that he has mastered the logistics and supply of this army.

……

Aida Tolsky is just an ordinary Russian soldier, or he can barely be regarded as an officer, from 1915 to the present day, he has become a platoon commander of the Russian army.

can become a platoon commander, not because of how outstanding his ability is, not because he is brave enough to fight, and not because he is a relation!

In fact, he is an honest peasant, he can become a platoon commander entirely because he has lived long enough, from the outbreak of the war to the present, the soldiers on the Russian front have almost been replaced by three or four stubbles, and the veterans who can survive have become grassroots officers.

During the war years, his position as a platoon commander was really worthless, and the platoon commander of the Russian army was measured in 100,000 yuan, and the military salary? What the hell is that? As a low-level soldier of the Russian army, when have you seen this Dongdong?

Well, theoretically, there is, but the tsarist government has always been too poor to be able to distribute it in full, and as soon as the bigwigs at the top divide it, they will naturally have no share of it.

It was not until the recent purge of St. Petersburg that Nicholas II, who had money, gave them a military salary, although it was not much, but he, like many Russian soldiers, was very satisfied!

Well, who called them not a standing army? As a temporary conscription of cannon fodder troops, they are all compulsory service, how can they be turned to have good deeds?

Unless it's to win a battle and go out and rob! It is also a fine tradition of the Russian army to replace military pay with robbery, and in last year's winter offensive, Idatolsky made a small profit, at least snatching back his military salary for more than two years of service!

After becoming this platoon commander, his treatment has not changed much in essence, the same has to go to the front line to charge, the same to live in the camp with the soldiers and sleep in the Chase bunk, the same to eat with ordinary soldiers, but he can add a potato or some vegetables every day, and when the conditions are good, he can also add a small portion of meat.

His biggest dream is to win another battle, to grab a lot of money, and now that he is a platoon commander, he can also share one more trophy!

Soldier A: "Platoon Commander, the food of the Bulgarians is really good, I haven't drunk such fresh fish soup for a long time?" ”

Aida Tolsky said angrily: "Fart's fresh fish soup, is this salted fish soup?" Is your boy's taste system broken too? ”

Soldier A just smiled and didn't refute.

Soldier B asked, "Platoon commander, are we going to the front again?" ”

Aida Tolsky was a little puzzled and said, "Who did you listen to, how did I not know?" ”

Soldier B said as a matter of course: "Don't you know just by looking at the food?" Our food standard for these two days is very abnormal, much higher than our normal standard, and we have meat every day, how is this possible? ”

Their current food standards are as follows:

Brown bread 750 grams

Butter 40 grams

150 grams of frozen or canned meat

Canned vegetables and fruits 250 grams

Potatoes 320 grams

100 grams of beans

100 grams of dried fish

Biscuits 120 grams

200 grams of wine

25 grams of salt and sugar

15 grams of coffee

Tea leaves 3 grams

Cigarette 5 rolls

Well, his worries are not unreasonable, according to the custom, before going to the front, everyone has to improve their food first.

Aida Tolsky frowned, he also found this problem, but most of the troops around him were treated like this, so he didn't think much about it, and now when he thought about it, he knew that something was wrong, the normal food of the Russian army was not so arrogant!

He pretended to be calm and said, "Okay, don't worry, I'll ask, anyway, this kind of thing should come or come, and we can't be the master!" ”

Everyone is also accustomed to it, everyone knows that they can't hide from it, anyway, how can they go to the front line and not fight?

There were also a few recruits next to him, and their hands holding the lunch boxes began to tremble a little, obviously they were all new to the battlefield and had not yet been on the battlefield.

Aida Tolkis ignored them, let alone comforted, he has seen this kind of thing too much, and he is numb, and those who are too afraid of death on the battlefield will not live long!

……

There are still many people who have the same doubts as them, and everyone has chosen to inquire about the news in order to prepare in advance.

Apparently they guessed right this time, if it weren't for the Russians, how could Imia Dimitev be so generous?

Bulgaria is not so rich that it has no place to spend it, and it is already very generous to supply supplies directly according to the standards of the Russian army, how can it be possible to raise the standard of food for them for no reason, especially even "wine"?

Of course, if they are asked to go to the battlefield to work hard, this is very reasonable, and even the day before they go to the battlefield, this standard has increased significantly!

After some bargaining, on July 23 St. Petersburg gave an order to Admiral Alexei to cooperate with the Bulgarian army in the attack on the Germans.

Of course, he can't cooperate if he doesn't want to, unless he wants to take the whole army hungry, after all, there are more than a million people, even if he goes out to rob, he must rob the big city, otherwise he really can't afford it?

On July 25, Imya Dimityev sent Russian troops to the battlefield and launched an offensive in the areas of Pirna, Teplice, and Citau.

Guess what he thinks in his heart with the greatest malice: the number of Russian troops is too much, and if some are not consumed, the pressure on logistics will be too great!

Fortunately, in the Czech Republic, if it were in Russian Poland, this might have happened.

Although the railway network of the Austro-Hungarian Empire ranks low among the European powers, how can there be six layers of Germans, in the more economically developed Czech Republic, this transportation is not much worse than that of Western European countries, so this worry will not happen for the time being!

Anyway, as long as the transportation can be satisfied, the Bulgarian government can still afford the extra supplies of more than a million people, and it is a big deal to increase the grain by several hundred tons every day......

The wolf smoke in the center is back, the Hindenburg government is really tired now, the domestic forces are now completely exhausted, if there is no way to make a breakthrough, they will be finished!

Field Marshal Hindenburg, who was in great power, had come to an end since he reached the peak of power. As the saying goes, "if you don't know the price of firewood and rice", after sitting in this position, you can understand why the previous prime minister wanted to advocate peace talks, and the background of the Entente completely exceeded their prior estimates!

The operational staff officer walked up to him and said: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the defenders of the Eastern Front have submitted to us a specific battle plan, and they believe that the time is ripe for a sneak attack on St. Petersburg!" ”

Hindenburg did not hesitate at all, and did not look at the specific battle plan, he made a decision, he said calmly: "Since they are ready, let them rest assured and do it boldly, and tell the soldiers of the Eastern Front that the future of the German Empire will be handed over to them!" ”

Hindenburg originally advocated a sneak attack on St. Petersburg, but last year he had not yet reached the pinnacle of power and could not be the master, and now it is his turn to make a decision, so naturally he will not look forward to the future.
