On June 18, Wang Shizhen's special plane flew to Sofia, Bulgaria, and after the plane stopped at the airport, Cai Guodong's adjutant took him to the commander's headquarters.

"General, General Wang Shizhen has arrived!"

Cai Guodong turned around and saw the adjutant coming over with a veteran, and immediately stepped forward, Wang Shizhen stepped forward and saluted: "Report to General Cai, Wang Shizhen was ordered to report!" ”

Cai Guodong returned the salute, shook hands with Wang Shizhen and said with a smile: "General Wang, I have received a telegram from the President and the Supreme Military Council, welcome your arrival!" Come, please sit here! ”

"Okay!"

After the two sat down, they had a conversation, and Cai Guodong told Wang Shizhen in detail about the current situation in the Balkan Peninsula.

After that, Wang Shizhen said: "General, I already have a general understanding. In view of the communication problems, I would like to ask the general to send me a few translators, who must be proficient in the Chinese languages of the Balkans! ”

Cai Guodong said with a smile: "I have already prepared it for you, they are waiting next door now, a total of six people!" If General Wang has any other requests, I will say them all now."

Wang Shizhen thought for a while and asked, "General, I don't have any other requirements, but I have a question I want to ask, who will pay for my supply of 1.5 million people?" ”

Cai Guodong said: "Of course, their respective countries are responsible!" ”

Wang Shizhen frowned and said, "If that's the case, then wouldn't I be greatly constrained?" If their countries withheld supplies and did not distribute them at a critical moment, wouldn't I, the 1.5 million people, be in great trouble? Of course, those soldiers made them national. It shouldn't happen that they withhold supplies and don't send them, but who can say for sure? I would like to ask the general to give the order. They are ordered to regularly deliver all supplies, ammunition and supplies to the receiving depots we have set up, and to hold them accountable if they fail to do so after the deadline. I don't want me to fight in front with my army and have someone in the back seize our ammunition and supplies."

Cai Guodong thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, I'll help you solve this matter!" When can you travel to Bosnia and Herzegovina? ”

"General, I need to complete the formation of my headquarters in Sofia before leaving, I have selected some staff officers and translators from the country, but I also need some officers from the Balkan countries to be integrated into my headquarters in order to communicate with the armies of various countries and issue military orders."

"If you have any requirements, you can always come to me!"

Wang Shizhen quickly found a house near Sophia Cathedral to serve as his temporary headquarters, and this time he brought more than 200 officers of different ranks from China as staff officers and staff members of his headquarters. Xiao Zhenlei promised to give him a total of 100,000 troops from the 33rd Army and the 63rd Army of the Seventh Army as a warlord. He transferred the 33rd Division from the 44th Army as his guard division to take charge of the security work of the headquarters, and now the 100,000 men have been assembled near Sofia and are on standby.

Wang Shizhen left the 44th Division as a guard division, and ordered several other divisions of the 33rd Army and all units of the 63rd Army to advance in Bosnia and Herzegovina, while he stayed in Sofia to form a headquarters.

"Adjutant, give me all the information of all the generals above the brigade commander level in the armies of the Balkan countries, I want to take a look!"

"Yes, General!" The adjutant agreed.

Half a day later, the adjutant came over with two soldiers, each holding a large pile of documents. "General, all the information you want is here, among the 1.5 million troops of the Balkan Coalition Army, there are a total of 537 generals at the brigade commander level??????."

Wang Shizhen asked the translators to read all these materials to him. The process took him a whole day, and from time to time, he had some names written down.

After dinner. He told the adjutant to take the blank piece of paper and send an order to everyone on it, so that they could rush to Sofia immediately.

He selected three generals from the armies of each country. All three of them are relatively important in their respective armies, and one is responsible for conveying his military orders to the military of his own country. Communicate and liaise with the army of his own country, collect feedback on the battlefield situation in a timely manner, and the second is responsible for formulating the battle plan according to his intentions. The third is responsible for the logistics of their own army, the placement of officers, wounded soldiers, fallen soldiers and officers, and battlefield capture.

The officers who received the order from the armies of various countries quickly rushed over, and Wang Shizhen called them together for a meeting, although everyone did not understand the language, but fortunately, there was an interpreter, and the interpreter translated what Wang Shizhen said into various Chinese languages so that these officers could understand.

After two days of preparation, Wang Shizhen's headquarters was finally formed, and Wang Shizhen immediately ordered the headquarters to move to Bosnia and Herzegovina, officially start work, and the early run-in was carried out on the road.

On June 25, Wang Shizhen and his headquarters rushed to Sarajevo and settled there, at this time the 33rd Army and the 63rd Army had already arrived, and the headquarters entered operation immediately after settling down, and he then convened a meeting of the commanders of the 33rd Army and the 63rd Army, and ordered that each unit be sent to the armies of various countries to carry out the task of supervising the combat team, and the 44th Division remained to protect the safety of the headquarters.

In the shortest possible time, Wang Shizhen completed the control of the Balkan coalition forces, although there were still some inconveniences in command, but no one in those countries dared to disobey the orders of his commander.

On June 30, Wang Shizhen received a telegram from Cai Guodong that his 1.5 million Balkan coalition army was named the Balkan Corps, in which Cai Guodong ordered his Balkan Corps to begin advancing to the west and northwest within three days, and to continue to attack Croatia after occupying the entire territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

On July 2, Wang Shizhen ordered 300,000 Turkish troops to advance westward along the coastline, and ordered 300,000 Romanian troops to advance from Sarajevo; The Greek army of 300,000 men was ordered to advance westward along the eastern part of the northern foothills of the Alps. The armies of Bulgaria, Algeria and Macedonia, Serbia and other countries followed behind.

On July 4, Wang Shizhen stood in front of the map and studied the map and asked, "Where is the Greek army?" ”

A Greek officer stood up and hesitated and said, "General, they have walked a total of thirty miles in the past two days??????."

Wang Shizhen's face became a little unsightly when he heard this, and he continued to ask: "Where is the Turkish army?" ”

A Turkish officer stood up and said, "They?????? I only walked forty-five miles ??????".

"What about the Romanian army?"

“??????? They only walked forty miles??????"

Wang Shizhen's face had turned pale, and he turned around and said, "Give orders to the commanders of the various armies and let them come over for a meeting!" ”

"Yes, General!"

On July 5, the military commanders of the Balkan countries rushed back to Sarajevo one after another for a meeting, Wang Shizhen walked into the conference room with a gloomy face, and the commanders of the various countries stood up and applauded him unhurriedly when they saw him coming.

Wang Shizhen pressed his hand after sitting down, and when everyone sat down, he said: "I gave you a combat order two days ago, but it was very unexpected to me, the three armies that received the combat order only advanced thirty, forty, and forty-five miles respectively within two days, but as far as I know, in this distance, there is no German and Austrian army to deploy, why did your troops only walk such a short distance in two days, I think even the turtle will climb you fast, what are you doing?" Want to test my bottom line? If so, then you have succeeded! Come on, drag these three people out and execute them at a low level! ”

Several GIs rushed in and grabbed the three Romanian, Turkish, and Greek commanders and dragged them out of the room.

The chief of staff of the Greek army stood up and shouted: "General Wang, you can't do this, and you have no right to do this!" ”

"Bang!" Wang Shizhen immediately stood up and took out a pistol to kill the chief of staff of the Greek army, and his body fell on the chair.

The generals of the other countries were frightened and silent, and then three more gunshots rang out in succession, and in a short time, three soldiers were seen walking in with three heads and placing their heads on the conference table side by side.

Wang Shizhen put it away and said in a deep voice: "All countries have handed over the command of this army to the commander of our Western Theater of Operations, and now I am the supreme commander of the Balkan Corps, any order I give is equivalent to the emperor's will, those who disobey will end up like this, and those who violate the law will also end up like this, in the future, anyone who does not obey the military order, deliberately delays the military order of my headquarters, and violates the yang and yin, and anyone who is ineffective in combat will end up like this, unless you have the courage to commit treason, but if you fail, I can guarantee that your fate will be worse than death! In view of the fact that the commanders of Greece, Turkey, and Romania have been executed for disobeying military orders and deliberately delaying the execution of military orders, I now appoint the deputy commanders of the armies of these three countries to the post of commanders. ”

After all this horrific killing, no single national commander in the Balkan Legion dared to disobey military orders and deliberately delay the march.

This time, Wang Shizhen was directly ordered by the commander of each army to complete the task within a limited time, the Turkish army received the military order to advance to the border line of the Croatian Sea within fifteen days, the Romanian army received the same order, and the Greek army received the order to advance to the southern border line of Hungary.

The new commander of the Three Kingdoms did not dare to slack off after receiving the military order, and immediately advanced to the west with a large army, and launched a fierce attack on the towns defended by the German and Austrian troops, after all, Wang Shizhen gave them limited time, and if they could not complete the combat mission within the specified time, they would only be afraid that their fate would be worse than that of their predecessors who had been executed before.
