Struggle in Russia - Vol 3 Chapter 739
The Earl of Province and Lazette did not disappoint Vishniak. After holding back for a month, they were like wolves out of the cage. That was a brutal one, and it was a terrible mess for the Turks’ logistics line.
For a time, the central area of Bulgaria was full of their rampant activities, and the supplies that the Turks could send to the front were almost 30% less.
Don’t underestimate this 30%. The British and French coalition forces and the Turkish army gathered on the Danube River, with more than one million troops.
So many people are astronomical just to eat, not to mention that these people are the masters of the battlefield. If you don’t have enough food and ammunition, what can you do?
Anyway, Duke Mikhail’s feeling is particularly obvious. The previous month, he was really forced to breathe by the coalition forces, but after entering this month, the pressure suddenly lightened.
Before, the Turks could attack continuously for five or six rounds a day without a break, but now they do at most three rounds, and after the rounds are over, they will languish.
What is more obvious is the artillery of the British and French coalition forces. Before, the explosive bombs were thrown down like they didn’t need money. Now they have to consider the fire for a long time. Most of the time, they can only use the old solid shells to make up the number.
He could guess the reason. It must be a logistical problem.
Although it is true that it is easy to cause problems in the logistics supply of the millions of troops, but if it happened so suddenly, there must be a big problem in the rear.
“It’s this Earl of Provincen again. He has attacked three of our convoys this week, causing us to lose hundreds of tons of supplies!”
“Didn’t you say before that it was easy to solve him? Why didn’t you arrest him for more than a month, but instead let him start looting more and more rampantly, this is your responsibility!”
The Turk who was scolded with blood was also full of anger, but he couldn’t let it out. After all, it was the Earl of Province who did things. Who would have thought that he would be able to jump around like this before letting this guy run away?
Naturally, the Turks can only promise repeatedly that this small problem will be solved immediately. They don’t think it is difficult. Isn’t it just a lesson to some stupid noble who doesn’t know how high the sky is?
Facts have proved that the Turks think the problem is too simple, it is not difficult to solve the Earl of Providence, but the premise is that the method is correct.
And what about the way of the Turks? It’s indescribable!
It is nothing more than a crusade of more than 10,000 troops being dispatched from the front line to search the location of the accident, but the problem is that the Earl of Province and Lazette, according to Vishniak’s suggestion, shot a shot and changed the place, which is not at all. Will stay in one place waiting for the Turks to catch.
Just like that, another half month passed, and the Turks were in a state of utter embarrassment. The attack on the logistic convoy did not decrease at all, and the troops they sent to clean up did not catch anything and said nothing, and they were exhausted.
Anyway, the commander said that his troops are in urgent need of rest. If they run around like flies without their heads, his soldiers will rebel.
This is not the worst. The internal logistical support has not been substantially improved. The pressure exerted by Britain and France is naturally even greater. Every now and then, the Turks will be arrested and scolded.
Gu Yi
That’s really shameless!
The Turks, who were in a hurry, went out of their way. They simply deployed another 50,000 troops and lined up along the transportation hub. They can’t believe they can’t catch those pesky Bulgarian flies!
This situation was soon discovered by Earl of Province and Lazette in Turkey, and Vishniak and Boris also focused on the mobilization of the coalition forces before, not to mention any troubles can be found, at least The large-scale mobilization and assembly of tens of thousands of coalition forces could not be concealed from them.
“The Turks are coming!” Lazette exclaimed, “they gathered 60,000 people, stationed in Blagoevgrad, Plovdiv, Gabrovo, Shumen and Edirne. In this city, the traffic lines are strictly monitored, and the investigation is almost a dragnet!”
The Earl of Province also said, “My acquaintances over there also said that the Turks are really angry this time. It is said that even the caravans of the past have been ruined.”
After speaking, the two looked at Vishniak together. Obviously, they meant to take a break and avoid the limelight, so as not to be caught by the Turks. And last time, didn’t you just say that you can’t get carried away if you want to see it?
Now we have enough things to grab, take a break!
But what they didn’t expect was that Vishniak said: “Very good, this proves that we have hurt the Turks this time, and then we will continue, we must give them a taste!”
“Continue?” Earl Providence and Lazette were stunned, not understanding why Vishniak had changed so much.
“Of course we have to continue!” Vishniak smiled and said, “However, the method needs to be adjusted. Before, most of the targets we aimed at were the logistics teams. Since they are now staring at the teams, let’s change the target.”
The Earl of Province and Lazette asked cautiously, “What target?”
Vishniak smiled and said, “Our next targets are Turkish nobles, wealthy businessmen and landowners. We will do our best to deal with them and drive them out of Bulgaria!”
The Earl of Province and Lazette were stunned, and they never thought that Vishniak would do this. After a short period of surprise, they all started to feel a little joyful.
Why? The reason is very simple. As a vassal of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Bulgarians naturally do not enjoy any personal rights. Even nobles like the Earl of Province and Lazette would bow their heads when they saw the Turks.
For hundreds of years, the Turks have continued to settle and reproduce in Bulgaria, and inevitably they have conflicts and conflicts with the Bulgarians. Naturally, the Bulgarians are the side that suffers losses. It’s just that although Ottoman Turkey is lonely, after all, thin and dead camels are better than horses. Big, it’s still easy and happy to clean up Bulgarians if you can’t win against the Western powers.
As a result, the elites such as Earl of Province and Lazette were not less angry, and now Vishniak has given them a chance to vent publicly. Do you think they can be unhappy?
What’s more, openly attacking the Turkish nobles helps to mention their prestige in Bulgaria. It can not only attack the Turks, but also gain prestige and gain substantial benefits. Why not do such a good thing?
“But we have to do it a little bit more skillfully,” Vishniak said, glad the two agreed to his plan, he cautioned: “This time we can’t mass-mobilize, as it would be easy for the Turks to find out. Siege, and secondly, we don’t need too many people to clean up those rich businessmen and landowners, we have to attack in all parts, so that the Turks are overwhelmed…”
