Chapter Ninety-Four, Terrible Predictions
It's not just Ferdinand who wants to pit his teammates? After all, this skill John Bull has already reached the full level, but this time the strength shown by the Germans is too rebellious, and they are so scared that they don't dare to use their natural skills with all their might.
However, the Russians were still pitted again, and the two Australian divisions, one New Zealand division, and one Canadian division, which were supposed to be thrown into the Western Front battlefield, were sent to Sicily to participate in the landing battle on Sardinia that had broken out.
However, in terms of materials, Niu Niu did not discount this time, and even overfulfilled the task, but one thing is very consistent with Ferdinand's previous approach, no medicine was provided, it seems that everyone hopes that Mao Xiong can die more!
The most important thing is that the tsarist government did not pay attention to medicine, they only cared about the safety of the officers, and the lives of ordinary soldiers were not valuable.
Perhaps in their opinion, soldiers can resist minor injuries without the use of medicine, and it is not economically cost-effective to spend a lot of money to treat an ordinary soldier for serious injuries.
If you can't save it, you will waste valuable medicines, and even if you can't save it, the possibility of recovery is very small, and most of them will be disabled.
Moreover, the placement of these disabled soldiers is also a big problem, perhaps for the tsarist government, it is better to let them die directly!
There are also not enough doctors, after all, at the beginning of the 20th century, doctors were still a very high profession, dedicated to the service of the wealthy.
Due to the lack of modern testing equipment, the treatment of diseases and saving lives completely depends on the professional ability of doctors themselves, and it takes a long time to train a qualified doctor.
Obviously, it is impossible to force these people into the army for conscription, otherwise who will guarantee the safety of the lives of the nobles?
The number of military doctors is limited, and the demand for medicines is naturally not high!
……
This time, the British organized a super-large fleet and transported hundreds of thousands of tons of strategic materials at one time, including 700 million rounds of ammunition, 20 million rounds of various shells, 800,000 rifles, 500 artillery pieces, and 300,000 tents......
For this reason, Ferdinand also sent half of the warships to the Suez Canal to escort the fleet, even if he was so cautious, on the way he was still killed by the submarines of the Central Powers, and more than 10,000 tons of supplies were directly gone.
Of course, at the cost, one of the submarines that the Allies had risen was sunk. However, in terms of value, the Allies still earned.
It can be said that John Niu's batch of supplies was delivered in a very timely manner, with a large number of people and soldiers, and a large consumption, millions of Russian troops and German-Austrian troops engaged in a major war, and the daily ammunition consumption was an astronomical amount, and Bulgaria could not provide that batch of ammunition for a few days.
This was also something that Ferdinand expected, after all, apart from a little more bullets, there were really not many other supplies provided last time.
After all, this amount of ammunition is calculated based on the consumption of the Bulgarian army in Asia Minor for a month, but in terms of troops, the Russian army is four times that of the defenders on the Asia Minor Peninsula.
The enemies faced by both sides are not of the same magnitude, and this ammunition consumption cannot be the same.
In this respect, the Russian army was really very economical, and it was only with this small amount of supplies that the German-Austrian army smiled bitterly for more than a month before waiting for the British material aid.
After receiving supplies from the British, the Russians' first reaction was to be happy, but it didn't last long before they discovered the problem. And he also approached Bulgaria and made a very surprising request.
"Your Majesty, the Russians want to exchange some ammunition, rifles, and artillery with us, and they want to exchange it with us!"
Ferdinand was slightly stunned, and asked in surprise: "Why, do you want to exchange with us?" Didn't the military say that the weapons and ammunition provided by the British this time were good? ”
Foreign Minister Metyev said lightly: "It should be the issue of the caliber of weapons, and the Russians have suffered enough in this regard in this war, so they want to unify the caliber of ammunition!" ”
Ferdinand was stunned, weren't the Russians all made by all nations in history? Now you actually want to unify the caliber of ammunition?
However, he quickly recovered, and the weapons and ammunition of the Russians in this time and space were not all provided by Britain and France, and a large part of them were purchased from Bulgaria.
However, due to the limited production capacity of Bulgaria, the Russians are still in a state of shortage of weapons and ammunition, especially the mobilized troops, and the situation of several people sharing a rifle has appeared in the new troops.
"Don't the Russians know that we have long since unified weapons and ammunition? Or do they think we will open a few more ammunition production lines for these weapons and equipment? Ferdinand was amazed, as if to say that the Russians were in the water.
Metev thought for a moment and said: "I don't know about this, in short, the Russians made this request very seriously, and also asked us to report to you, it is said that this was ordered by Nicholas II himself!" ”
Ferdinand was a little speechless, did Nicholas II think he was so good at talking, or did he think he was stupid? He said angrily: "Tell the Russians that we have unified the caliber of ammunition, and there is no intention of changing it!" ”
After sending Metelf away, Ferdinand gradually understood that there was a strong political meaning in it, which seemed to imply something.
Obviously, the British have not weakened their vigilance against the woolly bear at all, otherwise the war has been broken out for more than a year, and it is difficult to produce a batch of weapons and ammunition of the same caliber as the mainstream weapons of the Russians?
Why do you want to do that? And not to restrain the Russians! The intention of the British is obvious, the weapons and equipment are all given to you, but you are going to be stuck in the ammunition.
Even if the world war is over, and the Russians will have a large number of weapons to become burning sticks due to the caliber of weapons and ammunition, will the Russians still have the strength to seize Eastern Europe at that time?
But this is also a conspiracy, even if they know that the British deliberately dug a hole, now the Russians must jump into it, who told them to lack weapons and ammunition?
Could it be that Nicholas II was hinting at him that Bulgaria should continue to expand its production capacity of weapons and ammunition?
With this idea vetoed by Ferdinand, Bulgaria has been expanding its weapons and ammunition production capacity, otherwise where would it have the spare capacity to sell to Russia?
As for the complete satisfaction of the weapons and ammunition needs of the Russians, according to the current pace of Bulgaria's expansion, it will be at least three or four years later, and this is still based on the unlimited supply of raw materials!
Then there is only one possibility, Nicholas II is reminding or warning Ferdinand, don't get too close to the British, John Bull is unreliable!
This inference makes sense, if it is the former, it can be said directly, there is no need to be so obscure, unless Nicholas II really got into the water in his brain and thought that Ferdinand was so good at talking!
Ferdinand, who thought he had figured out the situation, immediately put the question behind him. After all, this is just a small episode, and no matter how dissatisfied the Russians are with Bulgaria, they will not be able to do without this ally in the short term.
Even if the world war is over, if the Russians want to continue to expand into the European continent, they must stabilize Bulgaria, otherwise they will wait to be beaten!
A crazy thought had already flashed through Ferdinand's mind: what would the course of world history be if a devastated Russia had survived the First World War and continued to expand its territory into the European continent without knowing whether to live or die?
Obviously, Britain and France could not tolerate this situation, Britain hoped that the European continent could be balanced, the French wanted to dominate the European continent, and they did not want Russia to continue to expand into Europe.
Is it possible for the Russians to abandon their expansion into Europe? Obviously this is impossible, for strategic reasons, even if the woolly bears want to stop, they will turn the Baltic Sea into their inland sea!
Then the mainstream contradiction in the world in the future will become Britain and France vs Mao Bear + Britain and France vs the United States, everything has changed!
No, if the Americans had not participated in World War I, they would not have had the ambition to dominate the world, and they would not have experienced the expansion of armaments in the world war, and they would not be strong enough to challenge the world hegemony of the British!
So will Americans, under the influence of domestic isolationism, continue to farm on the American continent?
So can the badly injured hairy bear compete with the badly injured Britain and France? No one can answer this question, but most of the hairy bears will lose, and who says that the countries on the European continent that are more than eight layers old do not have a good opinion of them?
As long as Britain and France make a force, an alliance against the woolly bear can be established soon, so who should Bulgaria help?
