In late September of the second year of Xinghua, the Ottoman Empire submitted a declaration of war, and more than 300,000 troops launched an attack on Bulgaria on the western front of the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Caucasus Mountains on the eastern front of the Ottoman Empire.

The ill-prepared Bulgaria and the barely prepared Russian army were simply unable to resist in the face of the menacing Ottoman army, and the armies of both countries were losing ground one after another.

(Note: The Ottoman army is generally called the Turkish army, and the Austro-Hungarian army can be called the Austrian army)

Russia is better, although the number of Russian troops is far inferior to the Turkish army, but the Russian army has been equipped with advanced weapons, relying on the fortress, the number of dead and wounded of the Turkish army is several times that of the Russian army, but also because the number of Russian troops is small, and the preparation is insufficient, the Russian army can only fight and retreat, and a large area of land south of the Caucasus Mountains has fallen.

But Bulgaria is different, Bulgaria is small, even if all the people are soldiers, it is difficult to resist the invasion of the Turkish army, and the weapons and equipment of the Bulgarian army are not as good as the Turkish army, for a time a large part of Bulgaria fell, but the Bulgarian side is doing stubborn resistance, using every piece of land to resist the invasion of the Turkish army, as much as possible to delay the attack of the Turkish army.

Bulgaria is waiting, waiting for reinforcements from Romania and Serbia.

Bulgaria, Romania, and Serbia are bordered by each other, all of which are independent from the Ottoman Empire. The countries that were established, the three countries were all small countries, and one country could not resist the Ottoman Empire, so the three countries had always united to fight against the Ottoman Empire, so that they could barely resist it, and with the support of Russia, Britain and other countries behind them, the Ottoman Empire could only watch, but could not start.

This time, however, Russia was held back by the Chinese Empire, and the Ottoman Empire could attack the three countries and reintegrate them into the Ottoman Empire.

In this way, a month and a half has passed, and the Turkish army has changed from being invincible and fighting bravely to the enemy at the beginning of the war to the current "difficult steps", and the Turkish army will pay a great price every time it advances a certain distance.

On the battlefield on the Western Front, two-thirds of Bulgaria's territory had fallen, and Bulgaria was putting up desperate resistance, and then the good news came out, the vanguard of Romanian and Serbian reinforcements had just entered Bulgarian territory, and the morale of the Bulgarian Resistance Army that got the news was greatly boosted.

On the battlefield on the Eastern Front, the Turkish army was resisted by the Russian army in the Caucasus Mountains, not advancing an inch, and the Turkish army was afraid that tens of thousands of dead and wounded would be sent out if they wanted to take the Caucasus Mountains.

By this time, the news of the Ottoman Empire's war had spread all over the world, with Germany, Italy and other countries in neutrality, sitting back and watching the war develop, and if possible, these countries would continue to act as arms dealers and sell arms to the Ottoman Empire.

Unlike Germany, Britain and France immediately jumped out and demanded that the Ottoman Empire stop the war immediately.

Russia is now confronting the Chinese Empire with all its might, and there is not much strength to deal with the Ottoman Empire, and under the attack of the Ottoman Empire and the Chinese Empire, Russia will not be able to hold out for long.

Britain and France even threatened the Ottoman Empire: if the Ottoman Empire did not stop the war, the Ottoman Empire would be the enemy of Britain and France, and Britain and France would send large armies to attack the Ottoman Empire.

If the Ottoman Empire was still a powerful country that once straddled Asia, Africa and Europe, it could ignore such a threat of war, but Abdul Hamid II was also angry with the threat of Britain and France, so he ordered his ministers and Britain and France to delay time, and on the other hand, he ordered the front line to occupy Bulgaria and break through the Caucasus Mountains, regardless of casualties.

Receiving the order of Abdul Hamid II, the commander-in-chief of the two-front battlefield of the Turkish army issued an order to attack, hoping to defeat the opponent in the shortest possible time, but the next battle situation gave the Turkish army a blow to the head.

On the western front, the armies of Bulgaria, Romania and Serbia united to block the strong attack of the Turkish army, although the total number of the three coalition forces was only 80,000, the number was less than that of the Turkish army, and the weapons were at a disadvantage, but the three coalition forces had the courage to see death as home, relying on favorable terrain to stubbornly resist the Turkish army, making the Turkish army pay a greater price, the Turkish army suffered the heaviest casualties on the day, there were 9,000 soldiers killed, and the number of casualties on the part of the three coalition forces was not much less than that of the Turkish army, and there will be reinforcements from both sides to join the battlefield. The war situation will not improve, and Bulgaria will become a huge meat grinder, continuing to consume the strength of both sides.

On the battlefield of the Eastern Front, the Turkish army gathered heavy troops in a delusional attempt to break through the Caucasus Mountains defended by the Russian army at one point, and the Turkish army in a row of guns was used to charge the Russian position, but the Russian army on the opposite side had already learned the news, mobilized the elite troops to the area, and concentrated the heavy machine guns for use, when the Turkish army charged the Russian position, the Russian army broke through the exposed heavy machine guns and sprayed deadly bullets on the Turkish army columns, and in just one day, tens of thousands of Turkish soldiers fell on the battlefield, The Caucasus Mountains became a solid gate, firmly blocking the progress of the Turkish army.

On the two-front battlefield, the number of dead and wounded of the Turkish army increased, but the results obtained were not many.

Britain and France were furious when they saw that the Ottoman Empire was unwilling to stop the war, and the British and French navies urgently prepared for war and marched on the Ottoman Empire.

However, just when the British and French navies were about to prepare to dispatch, the Ottoman Empire suffered two major defeats on the eastern and western fronts one after another, and the Turkish troops on both fronts were forced to retreat, and the remaining Turkish soldiers were only more than 100,000.

The defeat of the Ottoman Empire in the hands of the Russian army is understandable, after all, the Russian army has an advantage over the Turkish army in terms of military organization, troop training, quality of command personnel and troop morale, and the Russian army's weapons and equipment are also superior to the Turkish army.

However, on the battlefield of the Western Front, the Ottoman Empire was also defeated by the Triple Alliance, a well-prepared ambush battle of the Triple Alliance, annihilating nearly 15,000 new Turkish troops, and more than 20,000 troops were destroyed, plus Romania and Serbia continued to send reinforcements into Bulgaria, the Triple Alliance was more numerous than the Turkish army, attacking and defending in different positions, and the Turkish army on the Western Front battlefield could only retreat.

"The Ottoman Empire was truly the sick man of Europe."

This war made the countries of the world see that the Ottoman Empire, which once dominated the three continents of Asia, Europe and Africa, had completely declined, and now it was defeated by the small three-nation alliance, which is really sad and lamentable.

Although the Ottoman Empire has declined, the Ottoman Empire still has a huge territory and a large population, which is a target that Germany can woo, and if the Ottoman Empire is changed, maybe Germany can get a better ally.
