v2 Chapter 42： ,fuse

In the history of the Crete uprising, the Armenia problem has subsided. The great powers once again formed a fragile balance in the Near East. The great powers hoped that the Near East would maintain stability, and the actions of the Greek government did not win the support of the great powers.

But everything is different in this time and space, the Armenian issue is still raging, and the great uprising in Constantinople is not so easy to suppress!

Many newspapers have turned the Sudanese government in order to gain the attention of people. The tragedy in Constantinople has turned into revenge after the Ottoman army calmed down!

Of course, this is not completely dark, the Sudanese government does have to pay the main responsibility!

In public opinion, the Ottoman Empire has always been at a disadvantage, and the Sudanese government has been accustomed to being blacked out by the Western media, and it is too lazy to argue. After all, the two sides have been hostile for hundreds of years, and no one believes the explanation!

Politically, the actions of the Russians caused a strategic misjudgment to the Sudanese government. They believed that the Russians were manipulating the Balkan countries to be hostile to them, so they did not release goodwill to the Russian Empire. The relationship between the two countries is still freezing!

The Russian Empire naturally doesn't mind adding obstacles to the enemy, and its attitude is obviously inclined to the Greeks.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire deliberately took advantage of the fire to rob and annex Bosnia and Herzegovina. How could it now not support the Greeks and instead stand on the side of the Ottoman Empire?

Of course, the core issue is that the Austro-Hungarian Empire has reached a compromise with the Russian government! The two sides acquiesced in each other's next action, namely, the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by Austria-Hungary, and the Russians included the Black Sea Strait, including the Bosphorus Strait, into their sphere of influence!

The attitudes of the Russian Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are the same, and they can basically represent the attitudes of the great powers in the Balkans. The strength of other great powers in this region is limited, and their attitudes are not so important!

The British, who originally wanted to maintain the status quo in history, have now changed their attitude. If the Ottoman Empire wants their support, it must recognize the status quo in Egypt!

On the issue of Crete, the last country to have a say, Italy was ignored this time. No one can tell him that Ethiopia didn't even win, and now everyone doesn't recognize him as a member of the great powers!

As for strength, I am sorry that Italy is really not qualified now. Compared with other powers, the gap is still very huge!

There was no support from the great powers in history, and the Greek government dared to fight the Ottoman Empire when it was alone. Now with the support of the great powers, it is self-evident how they would do it!

And can the Ottoman Empire compromise? Obviously-no! If the Sudanese government has to make concessions to a mere Greece, other powers will not swarm them and make a big partition? ?

Since neither side intends to compromise, then the war is not far away!

After knowing the other's choice, the two sides started a new round of diplomacy in order to win.

Obviously, in this round of diplomatic mediation, the Ottoman Empire has fallen behind. The Greeks have the Balkan Alliance as the backing, but the Ottoman Empire cannot find any ally!

……

After the Crete uprising broke out, Ferdinand knew that the war had come. Up to now, most of the material reserves planned by the Bulgarian Staff have been completed.

But the most critical weapons and ammunition reserves have not yet been completed. After all, Bulgaria has only initially completed industrialization, and industrial production capacity is limited!

Weapon production is okay. It took two years and the arsenal only completed the production task of 500,000 rifles. The machine gun production task is expected to be completed next month, and the artillery production task can be completed by the end of this month.

But the production of ammunition is in trouble. As of now, Bulgaria still has only 700 million rounds of ammunition in reserve, and more than 2.4 million rounds of various types of ammunition reserves, which also includes the previous reserves!

Even so, since 1896, the arsenal has maximized its production capacity and has started three shifts. Except for the essential mechanical maintenance, it has been running at high speed at other times!

During the period of 　　, the arsenal also added production lines several times. Even so, it still could not achieve the set goals!

Military production is a technical job after all. Due to the lack of enough engineers and skilled workers, the production capacity has not been able to explode!

Of course, this is what Ferdinand expected. In fact, the production capacity of the Bulgarian arsenal is already against the sky. From the perspective of production capacity alone, it surpassed any arsenal in the world in the same period!

Of course, this is based on the premise that the power arsenal did not explode with all its strength! Even so, the Bulgarian arsenal was one of the largest arsenals in the world at the end of the 19th century!

In terms of army military strength alone, Bulgaria is already in the top ten in the world, and its production capacity has surpassed that of Italy, squeezing into the ranks of great powers. The price was tens of millions of pounds, which was consumed by this gold swallowing beast!

In terms of ammunition, it is still enough for the Ottoman War, and judging from the consumption of the Russo-Japanese War in history, there is more than enough.

It’s just that Ferdinand has always had a shadow, that is, the second Balkan War in history. Bulgaria was besieged by Balkan countries. Due to lack of sufficient weapons and ammunition, many of the results of the first Balkan War were lost. This is what he indicated. The reason why the staff deliberately increased ammunition consumption!

But now, Ferdinand also knows that the Second Balkan War, even if it is about to happen, UU Reading will be different from the history!

Serbia, the main force, has been eliminated; the Ottoman Empire was much weaker than the Balkan War, and financially speaking, they could not bear it; the Greeks were not much better. After this war, their Does the army exist or not? As for the navy, the Bulgarian fleet can be scary!

History has changed so much. If Bulgaria remains the same as in history, Ferdinand won’t have to mess with it. It’s better to get a piece of tofu and kill him earlier, so I won’t be ashamed!

After taking an inventory, Ferdinand was surprised to find that during the Balkan War, Bulgaria did not matter if he ate alone!

Neither Greece nor Mentenegro has the strength to retaliate. A Romania seems to be singled out, and there is no pressure!

Ferdinand, who had figured it out, became more relaxed.

Compared to Ferdinand's relaxed and cozy, Greek King George I was in a hurry. After the outbreak of the Crete incident, although Bulgaria and Mentenegro were both in solidarity with Greece, they were still standing still in actual actions!

Now that the Greek government has been forced to a corner, and it was forced by its own people, all the nationalists in the country are anxious to declare war on the Ottoman Empire, as if the Ottoman Empire is paperless, and it will be broken in one poke!

But George I didn't dare to underestimate the Ottoman Empire, and are both allies still watching the show? If Greece fights to death in the front and the two allies behind finally jump out to pick peaches, it would not be wonderful!

Obviously, whether it is Ferdinand or Nicholas I of Mentenegro, they all planned this way.

In the face of national interests, everyone knows how to choose!
