Struggle in Russia - Vol 3 Chapter 735
“Struggle in Tsarist Russia (
Edward’s breakout operation ended in failure. The artillery captain, who was determined to be promoted, was hit in the back of the head by a stray bullet, and his face disappeared, leaving only a **** hole.
As for his poor subordinates, they were either shot to death or had their heads chopped off, and a few poor **** who tried to kneel and surrender were dragged down and killed.
“It’s over at last,” Vishniak sighed while examining the six captured 12-pounder guns, “How are the casualties?”
Boris snorted: “We killed two brothers, and the rest were lightly wounded. The **** British guy is still a bit capable.”
Vishniak nodded. Compared with the Turks, the combat effectiveness of the British army has improved a step, and even a small number of artillerymen can cause a lot of trouble. One can imagine how troublesome it would be after encountering the main British army on the battlefield.
Fortunately, this is not their problem for the time being. The one who needs to worry about this is Duke Mikhail. According to Bulgarian intelligence, about 50,000 British troops have arrived on the Danube line. Moreover, there is a steady stream of the main forces of the British and French allied forces advancing towards the Danube.
“What about the Bulgarians? What about them?” Vishniak asked again.
Boris snorted again: “They? Thousands of people were killed or injured. If they only have this level, bullying the Turks is enough!”
Vishniak nodded and did not criticize the Bulgarians too much. On the one hand, because they are really just a group of rookies who have received the most basic military training, this behavior is very normal.
On the other hand, although the Bulgarians are allies, they are by no means close allies. The political stance of these guys is very difficult to say.
So even if they behave badly, Vishniak won’t talk too much, after all, he’s not his own!
“Hurry up and count the supplies, be careful that the Bulgarians are making a mess. We paid the price of life and blood, but we can’t let them be trapped!”
Boris fully agreed, and sent a few shrewd and strong men to begin to supervise the inventory of materials. It was almost dawn to figure out how much the harvest was.
“There are 2,000 Miner rifles that have not been opened, and hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition. As for food and other materials, there is not much difference with the Bulgarian intelligence.”
While recording the harvest in his notebook, Vishniak asked, “You specifically told me about the Miner rifle, did the Bulgarians have any ideas?”
“Yes, they want to take part!”
Vishniak snorted: “Tell them, according to the terms negotiated before. The artillery belongs to them, and all other weapons and ammunition belong to us. If you want a Mignet rifle, you can either buy it with money or use their share of the harvest. come.”
Boris smiled: “That’s what I told them, these grandchildren still want to take advantage of us, hum!”
Vishniak also curled his lips. To tell the truth, if it wasn’t for the Bulgarians to provide intelligence and logistical support in the future, he really didn’t want to give them the benefits of their performance tonight. A mess of sloppy performance still has a face to ask for something, want to eat fart!
It is true that the Turks’ military organizational capabilities are becoming less and less suitable for modern warfare, and their military organizational capabilities are still at the level of the 17th century. In short, they were very slow to respond to the situation of the war, and sometimes they didn’t even know where their troops were, not to mention the logistical supplies that were not important and would not be a problem in their opinion.
It was not until a week later that the front-line commander who had been delayed in receiving the supplies did not know the situation of the supply convoy. After checking for three days, I found that I had not received any news from the team for several days.
“What’s the matter? With such a large fleet, hundreds of cars and more than 2,000 people disappeared out of thin air!”
“Who can tell me why no one found them missing!”
Of course, no one can answer this question, not even the Commander’s big boss cares, so it’s naturally even less likely that the minions below will care.
After the Turkish commander lost his temper, he ordered someone to investigate immediately, and this investigation revealed a major problem.
“What? Four supply convoys have disappeared for no reason in a row? Why didn’t you report it earlier? What? I didn’t find it! Are the people in the logistics department eating dry food? I want to kill that idiot!”
The disappearance of the four supply convoys is a major event, involving hundreds of tons of materials, most of which are aided by the British and French, and disappeared for no reason, so how can they explain to the British and French fathers!
“There is also a British artillery company missing, you see…”
“Look at the fart!”
Now the Turkish commander is really furious. It’s okay to say that some supplies are right, but losing the British ~www.mtlnovel.com~ is a big problem.
“Give me a thorough investigation. Be sure to find out where people and materials were lost. I want to see who is so bold!”
In fact, the Turkish commander has suspicions in his heart, and the Bulgarians are very suspicious. These guys have been estranged from the empire from the very beginning. If it wasn’t for the imperial army, these **** would have rebelled long ago.
The Bulgarians are totally capable of sneaking up on little tricks, so well, check them out!
And the Turkish commanders just deliberately used this to beat the Bulgarians. In the past, when they cleaned up Bulgaria’s bandits headed by Russia and Austria, they would shout and kill that they abused and enslaved Bulgaria.
And now that the Bulgarians killed the British themselves, presumably the British will definitely support and teach them a lesson this time?
“Maybe the Bulgarians have something to do with the disappearance of my artillery?”
The British were really shocked by this, but you’d say they’d be totally on Turkey’s side, not really.
The British did not fully believe what the Turks said. After all, it is an indisputable fact that the Turks hated the Bulgarians. If the Bulgarians hadn’t made trouble, the war would never have broken out.
So it is entirely possible for the Turks to find an opportunity to make up an excuse to clean up Bulgaria. But for the British, helping Turkey against Russia was one thing, the Bulgarian problem was another.
An independent Bulgaria was acceptable to the British, as long as the Bulgarians were submissive to the British. They support whoever brings benefits to the British Empire anyway.
Therefore, the British did not respond strongly to the small actions of the Turks, and only asked the Turkish side to find out the truth as soon as possible, and the rest did not…
