Holy Roman Empire

The Greeks think that the right choice is undoubtedly dissatisfied with both sides, it can be said that the two sides are not flattering.

The Russians could also reluctantly accept that no matter where the Greeks were fighting, they held back some of the energy of the Ottoman Empire. This is a critical moment, with one more ally and one more strength, and one more chance of winning.

Britain and France can't stand it, especially the British. In their opinion, the Greek approach is to betray nakedly.

The conflict between the two countries in 1850 was ignored by the London government. Ignoring that, a few years ago, when Palmerston ordered the blockade of the port of Piraeus, the two countries turned their heads.

Of course, John Bull did not want to stimulate the Greeks at this time. In case they went straight to Constantinople, they cut off their logistical transportation lines by the way, and the coalition forces on the Balkans were finished.

While Parliament in London was discussing a new front, Foreign Minister Palmerston was in trouble. Did not control the lower body, and engaged with the Queen's maid.

This is nothing, the aristocracy's bad things go a lot, and it's okay to add another one. Secretly in private, stole it, and stole it, everyone opened it with one eye and closed it.

They were trying to die in the royal palace, but they were unlucky, and were smashed into the face by Prince Albert.

The matter was on the bright side. This was the court scandal. Prince Albert was angry and Queen Victoria was angry.

If you don't kill a hundred, what is the royal dignity?

The incident broke out, and the unfortunate Palmerston and the maid were caught by the guards in the palace on the spot and had a good meal.

Under Franz's butterfly effect, a turning point in history occurred. In history Palmerston broke the maid's chastity, which was a private matter.

The window paper was not torn and there was room for manoeuvre. In history, Palmerston also paid a painful price. Not only did he go out of the game, he also paid a large price to find someone to intercede. After exchanging political interests, he finally returned to the political stage.

One person was caught and stolen now. He said what would happen in the future, and how to get through the looting in front of him was a problem.

The Foreign Minister's court fornication, if the news spreads, it will be lively. The gossip fire of the British people is very powerful. I don't know what other pictures should be compiled.

John Russell was dumbfounded. There was nothing he could admire for Palmerston. The colleague's affair was beyond envy. He was admired for his ability to die.

Then he had to find a way to deal with it. There must be an explanation from the royal family, and this colleague cannot disappear for no reason.

Palmerston is not a small man. He is not only a foreign minister of the British Empire, but also a spokesperson for the bourgeoisie in the government. It has a great influence in the people.

Prince Albert asked: "Prime Minister, what do you think of this issue?"

After the arrest, Prince Albert regretted it. There's an opportunity to pack up Palmerston, so why bother?

Don't you have a long mouth, God knows how to arrange outside. Otherwise, some people think that this is a drama that the royal family persecuted the minister.

For the royal reputation, this matter is destined to be dealt with cold. Prince Albert, who is politically savvy, naturally chose to play the ball.

...

The sudden scandal directly affected the efficiency of the London government, delayed the time to open up the second front, and created opportunities for the Russians.

Bulgarian guerrillas are meeting in secret in a run-down village in Plovdiv.

"You guys, just now we received the information. The Ottoman Empire withdrew our army and replaced them with the recently arrived 30,000 British Army.

This is both a challenge and an opportunity. The British's fighting power is much stronger than that of the Ottomans. Without two or three times the superior strength, we are not their opponents at all.

Obviously, we don't have that many troops, and this is the challenge we are about to face.

We know from the captives that there are also contradictions between the British and the Ottomans. Although they are allies, the arrogant British only use them as cannon fodder.

This is an opportunity. Since they have contradictions, it is difficult for the two sides to cooperate closely.

After all, the British are foreigners. They are not familiar with the environment in Bulgaria. At this time, they are transferring to the Ottomans. It is inevitable that chaos will occur in the short term.

According to news from the inside, yesterday the 5,000 Ottoman garrisons in Plovdiv were evacuated, and now there are fewer than 2,000 people, including only 800 British soldiers.

This is an opportunity. If several of us work together to defeat Plovdiv and destroy the enemy's material transfer station, the war on Sofia's front line will inevitably be affected. "

It is a middle-aged man who is speaking, he is the main leader of these Bulgarian guerrilla alliances Dimitel.

Don't look at the number of Bulgarian guerrillas now, it is considered that they have established a system. In fact, they have not unified and are still fighting each other.

The real purpose of supporting the Russians was to add chaos to the Ottoman Empire, but they were not prepared to make them truly independent, and naturally they would not be unified.

In this era, Bulgarian nationalism has not yet been awakened, and the later Bulgarian national father, Christo Potev, is still a kindergarten child. (If there is a kindergarten)

The motivation of the Bulgarians to resist was mainly the oppression of the Ottoman government and the persecution of their religious beliefs.

A dark-haired, green-eyed young military officer stood up and objected: "Mr. Dimiter, Plovdiv is only 15 kilometers from Asenovgrad and 30 kilometers from Pazardzhik.

This means that once we launch an attack on Plovdiv, the reinforcements of the enemy Asenovgrad will arrive on the same day, and Pazardzhik's reinforcements will be delayed up to the next day.

Pazardzhik has 3,000 defenders, and Asenovgrad has 2,000 defenders. The enemy I will face is not two thousand but seven thousand.

The enemy has just withdrawn its 5,000 garrisons, and there will definitely be new troops to replace them. We have not yet received information in this regard, which is very unreasonable.

There are only three possibilities for this to happen: first, the enemy ’s commander forgot to ignore the importance of Plovdiv; second, something went wrong with our intelligence system; third, this is the enemy ’s trap, deliberately enticing Make us fooled.

The first case is obviously impossible. The enemy is not so stupid, it is impossible to see even such simple problems.

The Bulgarian people who provided us with information all over the country cannot be kept secret. From the information we have received, no large army has come to Plovdiv.

Then it is very likely that this is a trap. If we cannot occupy Plovdiv within a short period of time, the surrounding enemy forces will flock to it and trap us here. "

Dimiter explained: "Cyprus, you are right. This is probably the enemy's trap, but the temptation is too great.

We all know that the enemy hoarded a large amount of supplies in Plovdiv, and even if it was a bait, we had a chance to destroy them.

Although I'm not sure how many strategic materials the enemy has hoarded in Sofia, judging by the enemy's emphasis on logistics, it can be roughly judged that the strategic materials in the Sofia region are not enough to support their frontline army to the end of the war.

After destroying these materials, we will run. As for the city of Plovdiv, we will leave it to the Ottomans. We will return after the battle is over. "

Dimiter's analysis is well-founded. The enemy forces in Sofia have fallen to 80,000 since the war. Even in this case, Montes also assigned 15,000 British soldiers for logistics.

Because logistics occupied a large number of troops, this caused the Sofia front line, and the coalition forces were held on the ground by the Russians.

Because of the shortage of troops, Montes turned to China for help. Dimiter was in a hurry to break the game, mainly because the enemy's reinforcements were about to come. If he didn't fight, he wouldn't win.

This was the sequel to the hasty response of the coalition forces. The Russians had prepared in advance. The frontline troops suffered heavy losses and immediately retreated to supplement.

The supplementary soldiers were sent to the Principality of Wallachia and were not directly sent to the front. That was because the logistics could not afford it, and they could only stay by the Danube.

The Ottoman Empire played stud directly. Now it is necessary to recruit soldiers to supplement their strength. Because the Balkans have fallen more than half, the soldiers have nowhere to arrest, and the rate of replenishment has not kept up with the consumption rate of the front line.

Britain and France are too far away from the Balkan Peninsula. To replenish the troops, they must report to the country, and they must be approved by the bureaucrats. The time has passed.

In this respect, it is indeed far-sighted that the British are preparing to open up the Second Front. Once the Crimean War begins, the Russians will be exhausted.

Even with adequate preparation, there is no limit. Poor domestic traffic is undoubtedly the biggest enemy, restricting the Russians ’power.

A middle-aged man sneered and said, "Mr. Dimitel, our guerrillas are united with no more than 5,000 people. You also know how the weapons and equipment are.

If this is a trap, the enemy will definitely be prepared. On the surface, the enemy's fighting force was the 800 British soldiers.

But who knows? The Ottoman army was not incapable of fighting. If it were all waste, we would have revived.

In case this thousand Ottoman garrisons are elite Ottoman troops, plus eight hundred British soldiers, the combat effectiveness is not much worse than ours.

I think it's too risky to start against Plovdiv. Even if we have an internal response in the city, the chance of success is too low. "

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Bulgarian guerrillas were originally divided into many branches, most of which were formed by region. Many people were watching the leadership of the guerrillas.

Dimitel is just the nominal leader of these guerrillas, and there are many people who are dissatisfied with him. But in the face of a common enemy, this contradiction was suppressed.

"What is Mr. Hamill's opinion?" Dimitel asked calmly.

He could hear that Hamill was not opposed to attacking Plovdiv, but had other plans.

Hamill smiled slightly and said, "High opinion is not counted. Since we are not sure if this is a trap, let's test it first.

First attack Zarjik, 30 kilometers away. We have already seen the situation over there. The 3,000 defenders are all Ottomans, and the combat effectiveness is very average. It is not difficult for us to eat them together.

If the enemy has a trap, it will be exposed at this time, and it is impossible for them to arrange a 30-kilometer perimeter.

If there were no traps, we went straight to Plovdiv. The surrounding enemy forces were all attracted to Zarjik, and our success rate of raids was very high. "

Dimiter thought for a while and said, "This is indeed a good way to minimize the risk. However, the pressure of the guerrillas is still too great for the guerrillas.

It seems necessary to contact Boris and they will be responsible for attacking Zarjik to break the situation. We will help out first.

As soon as Plovdiv and Asenovgrad's enemies came out of the city, they were killed first to reduce the difficulty of siege. "

This is not the first siege battle of the Bulgarian guerrillas, but this is their first big counterattack after being defeated in the Sofia campaign.

After more than two months of repairs, they have recovered their vitality. Although they have not reached the peak, their confidence has been shown.

In this respect, the Sardinian army also has credit. If it hadn't been for the Bulgarians, these guerrillas are still dead on the ground with the coalition forces.

It is estimated that by this time, they had suffered heavy casualties. The fur bear is not a good master. He used the guerrillas as cannon fodder from the beginning. Ordered the Bulgarian guerrillas to tear the coalition's defense line and intersect the coalition in front and back, apparently trying to kill with a knife.

Unfortunately, the plan did not change quickly. Who knew that the Sardinian army was so persuaded that it was really penetrated by the Bulgarian guerrillas and penetrated to the rear.

The Russians did not believe that the guerrillas could do it, did not respond in time, and lost a chance to win the war.
