Tsarist Empire: Please call me Tsarist Majesty

Time passed little by little, and the war mobilization of Austria-Hungary, although not very efficient. However, they chose to redeploy standing armies to the border areas and keep recruits at home for training.

Therefore, in just one month, the 600,000 standing armies of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were deployed on the eastern and southeastern borders.

At the same time, the Austro-Hungarian diplomatic department was soft and the Kingdom of Romania, demanding that the Kingdom of Romania open its borders to the Austro-Hungarian troops and allow them to use the territory of the Kingdom of Romania to launch an attack on the Russian Imperial Army entrenched in Bulgaria.

The Austro-Hungarian army was divided into two parts. The troops assembled on the eastern border formed the 1st Army, commanded by Archduke Friedrich. The troops assembled on the southeastern border formed the 2nd Army under the command of Archduke Ferdinand, Crown Prince.

At the same time, the Ottoman Empire also amassed a large number of troops. The army assembled at Rumilia, numbering 350,000 men, formed the 1st Army, led by General Arslan . The army assembled on the periphery of the Caucasus, also numbering 200,000 men, was led by Admiral Muhammad.

For the current Ottoman Empire, the ability to send up to half a million troops into battle was almost at its limit.

After all, the current population of the Ottoman Empire is only 35 million. Moreover, a large part of it was other peoples enslaved by the Ottomans. The troops they really reassured were those made up of Ottomans.

Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire mobilized troops, which naturally attracted the attention of the Russian Empire.

After the Russian Empire launched military operations, intelligence agencies were already in action.

A large number of intelligence personnel lurked in the Balkans and those countries that did not deal with the Russian Empire, gathering intelligence.

Soon, the Russian Empire already realized that Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire had joined forces.

Although, there is no direct evidence yet. But this is war, and even if there is doubt, it is enough.

“Your Majesty, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire have amassed large numbers of troops in the Balkans and on the border with the Empire, respectively. We suspect that they are trying to unite against the Empire. Intelligence Director Lieutenant General Vasily said.

Mikhail nodded, also sensing the urgency of the situation.

“It seems that we need to prepare for the worst, this war will turn into a great war between the Reich and the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires. This time, the empire will fight one against two! Mikhail said.

Mikhail, though, was not intimidated. He believed that even if one was against two, as long as other countries did not participate. Then, the Russian Empire could still win the final victory.

“Gentlemen, it seems that our plan has succeeded. Both Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire would intervene in the war. Then, the empire can take the opportunity to take the Ottoman Rumilia region! Mikhail said.

Wasn’t the annexation of the Kingdom of Bulgaria an opportunity for further expansion in the Balkans?

“Your Majesty, the Imperial Army has only deployed the 1st Army in the Balkans, and even if it is reinforced by four cavalry brigades and two mountain infantry brigades, the total strength is only more than 300,000 people. But they have to face twice as many enemies! “Prime Minister Betto Donoschaev is a little worried.

“Yes, Your Majesty. Between the Empire and Bulgaria, after all, there is no border. In case the war is not going well, it will be even more difficult to send more troops to reinforce it. Foreign Minister Izvorsky also said.

“Then, send the newly formed ten infantry divisions to Bulgaria to temporarily join the 1st Army in the operational sequence. In addition, the logistics department accelerated the speed of transporting as many war materials as possible to Bulgaria to ensure that the Imperial Army would not have a shortage of materials in the next battle! Mikhail ordered.

The ten newly formed infantry divisions were all re-drafted by retired personnel.

Weapons and equipment were distributed, and after a short period of adaptability training, combat effectiveness was formed.

In this way, the army of the Russian Empire in the Balkans has reached nearly half a million.

Even in the face of more than 600,000 troops of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires, the Russian Imperial Army still had a great chance of victory.

After all, the armies of Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire were not very effective in combat.

500,000 people fighting more than 600,000 people is completely capable of doing it.

Moreover, the army of the Tsarist Russian Empire will continue to attack the Ottoman Empire, all the way to Istanbul, take the entire European part of the Ottoman Empire, and realize the expansion of the Russian Empire in the Balkans.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Admiral Brushilov answered.

“I will personally telegraph to General Gurko, General Mirolov and General Ivanov. The next battle is up to them. The rise and fall of the empire depends on this battle! Mikhail looked firm.

He firmly believed that the rise of the Russian Empire would begin with this war.
