According to the alliance, the four countries of Austria, Russia, Greece and Black were respectively dispatched: 350,000, 336,000, 26,000, and 3,000, with Austrian Chief of Staff Albrecht as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

Looking at this number, you can tell that this is aiming at destroying the country. You should know that in the last Near East War, Russia and Austria sent less than 300,000 troops, and beat the Ottoman Empire to doubt their lives.

The most important thing in joint combat is coordination. The biggest problem is language barriers and communication difficulties, which increases the difficulty of cooperation among various troops in joint combat.

In the second half of May, the four countries started working on this problem. Albrecht, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, held joint meetings many times to coordinate organizational relations.

The slow movement of the coalition forces gave the Ottoman government hope, and Abdul Hamid II ordered the whole country to mobilize.

The Ottoman government was crazy about relaxing the mobilization age to 12 years old. Those who can carry guns up are considered to be without the so-called upper limit.

In the past years, the Ottomans have brought too much hatred, and the four anti-Turkish alliances have all their feuds, and there is no possibility of easing.

The most likely situation in the face of life and death is to stimulate the potential of a country. Under the pressure of national destruction, the reformists, conservatives, and religious forces of the Ottoman Empire tacitly stopped the internal strife.

...

Downing Street, British Foreign Secretary George: "The Ottoman government has performed well and they are ready to work hard.

Ottoman government prime minister Midharth Pasha issued an extreme mobilization **** to mobilize 2 million troops to fight to the death with the anti-Turkey alliance."

Prime Minister Gladston was shocked and said: "How is this possible for Ottomans to have 2 million troops? How can they rely on to maintain this army?"

Don’t think that mobilization is simple if both countries mobilize millions of troops during the Prat-Russia War.

For countries in Europe that can mobilize 2 million troops, as long as Britain, France, Russia and Austria, there will be no fifth one.

Spain may be able to mobilize so many young and strong people, but Spain's national strength cannot support it at all. The German Federation and the Nordic Federation behind it are even unable to make up the number of people.

In addition to hardware requirements, this level of mobilization is also a test of the government's organizational capabilities.

The mobilization does not mean that you can be mobilized immediately. Take Britain as an example. When you explode, don’t say that you mobilize two million, even five million can be exploded.

The problem is that this takes time, and the most lacking thing on the battlefield is time. Now it is the era of hot weapons. If you don’t recruit young men into the army, you will be considered as completing the mobilization.

Perhaps ordinary soldiers can be sent to the battlefield for ten days and half a month to train; however, artillery, airship, and other technical troops cannot be cultivated in a short time.

At the peak of the Ottoman Empire, it was not capable of 2 million troops. Now the Ottoman, which is half-life, is not reliable to mobilize 200 troops.

Foreign Minister George said without changing his face: "The numbers are a little exaggerated, but this can also show the determination of the Ottoman government from the side.

You should know that the Ottomans are a special country, and it is entirely possible for the whole nation to have troops. With their population of 70 to 8 million, there is still hope to gather two million troops.

Of course, this requires our help. Once the whole nation is in a state of war, the production in the Ottoman country will basically be scrapped, and with their national strength, it will not last long..."

Chancellor Akiji Childes interrupted: "Sir, this Near East War is extraordinary, and the Vienna government has made up its mind to destroy the Ottomans.

Judging from the current situation, the possibility of the Ottoman Empire survival is very small.

Now that we invest in them, it is impossible to recover them, and the government cannot waste taxpayers’ money.”

War is a gold-swalking beast. Even if the British Empire is rich and powerful, it must think twice before acting.

"No!"

"How can this be a waste?"

George explained: "Without the Ottoman as a buffer, we have to face the polar bears and the double-headed eagles.

It can be imagined that once such a thing happens, the war of defense in India will not be far away.

The Ottomans are ready to fight to the death. As long as we fund a batch of supplies, the Ottomans will do their best to block the double-headed eagle and polar bear.

Instead of spending a lot of money on the defense of India, it is better to support the Ottoman with less money..."

The Chancellor of the Finance Minister Akihi Childes rolled his eyes disdainfully and poured cold water on his face: "The prerequisite is that the Ottomans can win. Otherwise, it will no longer have any meaning except intensifying the conflict and allowing the Indian defense war to break out early."

The Chancellor of the Finance Department had a very obvious idea, but he was not optimistic about the Ottomans. Once he lost the war, the Ottomans would no longer exist. Britain did not have the ability to let Vienna and St. Petersburg bear debts.

Even the act of sponsoring the Ottomans aroused strong dissatisfaction among the two countries, leading to the two countries signing a covenant to divide India.

Foreign Secretary George insisted: "The account cannot be settled like this. The chances of Ottoman win are indeed very low, but with our support, they can hold on for a longer time.

Among the four anti-Turkish alliance countries, Greece and Montenegro were just making up for the numbers. Although the Russians had good military strength, they had no money in their pockets, and the war funds were destined to be paid by Austria.

We invested one penny in the Ottomans, and the anti-Turkish alliance would have to pay several times the price to win the war.

France was no longer useful. Even if Napoleon IV suppressed the rebellion, it would take several years to recover.

Using this war to bleed Austria and consume their financial resources is crucial to maintaining continental balance.

Moreover, the international situation is changing and it takes a long time to delay, and it can always change, and maybe it can reverse the situation."

Everything else can be regarded as nonsense. Using this war to consume Austria's financial resources still attracted the attention of Gladstone.

Destruction is easier than construction. If you can't save the Ottoman, you will destroy the Ottoman. It's best to turn it into vain. Even if you expand your territory, you will not be able to enhance Austria's strength.

To harm others but not yourself depends on the loss ratio of both sides. The trick of "killing one thousand enemies with three hundred damage" can be used as a means of winning by surprise.

The game between big powers can no longer simply calculate the gains and losses. In a sense, as long as the competitor loses more than me, it is a victory.

...

The ancient city of Constantinople has become more intense again, and the Anti-Turkey Alliance General Headquarters is located in a metropolis with great political significance in writing.

This is also a political compromise between Russia and Austria. The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces was sent by Austria, and the command center was placed on the territory of the Russians to show that Russia and Austria have equal status in the alliance.

At this moment, the coalition command has gathered a lot of generals, and it can be said that "the general is walking all over the ground, and the marshal is the senior management."

There is no way. After the Prussian-Russian War, the Russian army reduced from more than 5 million at its peak to more than 500,000. Even if the Near East War broke out, it only increased to more than 700,000.

After the compression, it is normal to change from an army commander to a division commander, and the division commander to a regiment commander.

Under this background, it is difficult for Russian generals to have a high rank.

Originally, the general major generals and colonels in various countries were not applicable to the Russians, and the lowest-level division commanders were all lieutenant generals.

The Near East War was regarded as the best opportunity to gain military achievements, so naturally there were many followers, and the result was that all the lieutenant generals and commanders came out.

Perhaps because of the influence of the Russians and wanting to have equal dialogue on the battlefield, Montenegro and Greece also promoted the "interim general" and "interim marshal" on the front line.

Especially the marshal of the Duchy of Montenegro, probably the most tragic marshal of his time, and he only had a strengthening regiment's strength.

So many generals directly increased the difficulty of Albrecht's coordination. According to convention, higher ranks are usually appointed as chief officers on the battlefield.

If this happens, the Austrian army will suffer a great loss during cooperation.

Austria does not have the term "temporary military rank" and "interim marshal". Franz will not do such a useless thing.

Equality is impossible. It is impossible to transfer all the generals from Austria, but they will not be able to wait.

Albrecht, the chief of staff, came to serve as the coalition commander in person, but in fact he had no choice.

Without war, soldiers will naturally be unhappy to be promoted. The Austrian military system has matured and does not have enough military achievements. No matter how you have experienced it, you will never be able to become a marshal.

With the death of the older generation, Albrecht became the only remaining marshal of the Austrian military and directly became the best candidate to serve as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

General Bartolome, General Bartolome, the General of the General Bartolome, said: "Commander, there have been 128 disturbing people in the past three days, and the Military Law Department has arrested 358 people, including three generals."

The four countries gathered, and the security of Constantinople also deteriorated sharply. In this city where the stars were gathered, the police were powerless.

At the request of the Mayor of Constantinople, Albrecht formed the coalition military law office. Unfortunately, the military law office has the right to arrest people, but has no right to deal with it.

The coalition forces are allies, and have no superior-level relations. The sentencing standards of military laws of each country are different, so they can only be handed over to each country for their own disposal.

Generally speaking, as long as there is no big deal, the situation will be settled in the end.

If you fail to kill a chicken to warn the monkey, the deterrence effect of the Military Law Department is naturally not good.

To this day, the job of the Military Law Department is to arrest people every day - release people - then arrest people - and then release people... and repeat.

Less than half a month after the establishment of the coalition command, someone had already achieved a brilliant record of seven in and seven out.

Albrech nodded in a distinction. Constantinople is the territory of the Russians. The Russians are not in a hurry, and it is not easy for him to be this evil man.

In fact, St. Petersburg has the largest number of Russian troops, and most of them violate military discipline are Russian officers and soldiers.

Looking at the chaotic coalition forces, Albrecht no longer has hope for this joint battle.

You should know that those who entered Constantinople were military generals or guards from various countries. Compared with ordinary soldiers, these people were considered brain-strapped.

However, a good brain cannot withstand alcohol, and the problem arises after drinking a few glasses of wine. More than 95% of all violations of military disciplines occur after drinking.

Jealousy, fighting and fighting are all trivial matters. It is normal to buy things without paying for them. The strangest thing is that there are people who duels on the street.

As long as you drink too much, there is nothing strange that can't happen.

There is today or tomorrow on the battlefield. Before the war breaks out, it is not surprising that the soldiers at the bottom are so indulgent.

Under normal circumstances, a general's level should not be a crime, but the Russian army is an exception. Due to the war, a large number of dark horses have emerged in the Russian army.

These people have good ability to fight, and their ability to violate military discipline is proportional to their ability to fight. At first, Albrecht wanted to restrain himself, but later he saw more and gave up.

Albrecht was too lazy to ask what happened: "Take them in jail for a day, and then let the representatives of each country lead people."

Deep down, Albrecht had made up his mind to not let the troops stay with the Russian army. If he had too much contact, it would be a big problem to learn these bad habits.

The idea of ​​dividing the troops would never be gone. A voice kept telling him that he would be cheated to death by his teammates with such a large group on the battlefield.
