Bulgarian Empire

After the First Army won the battle of the Karagachi River, it did not stop its offensive. The Tenth Division and the Fourteenth Division surrounded the "Western Gateway" of the Ottoman Empire - Adrianople (Edirne) )!

Adrianople is located at the confluence of the Maritsa River and the Densa River. It is the intersection of the Balkans leading to Istanbul and the Aegean Sea Railway. It has traffic and strategic significance.

Take Adrianople, and the gateway to Constantinople is open!

At this time, Adrianople's name is not worthy of its name! The Ottoman Empire entered the second half of the 19th century, just like Wang Xiaoer's new year, struggling! Even the normal military sound cannot be allocated on time, let alone the money to repair the fortress!

After the outbreak of the Balkan War, the Ottomans rushed to repair and strengthen the fortifications! At this time, there were still 8,000 defenders in Adrianople, and the supreme military commander was represented by Lieutenant Colonel Viktor Pasha!

The aristocrats are all gone now, the morale of the army can be imagined! Lieutenant Colonel Viktor Pasha also knew that it was impossible to defend Adrianople. Apart from the morale of the army, the most important thing was the lack of material reserves!

If the warehouses in the city were not rented out by officials to businessmen privately, they would have been able to run away mice! As for the strategic materials in reserve, who should ask the predecessor, anyway, he doesn't know!

Just as the Bulgarian army was preparing to attack the city, an uninvited guest appeared at the headquarters!

Petrov, the chief of staff of the First Army, looked at the visitor and asked suspiciously, "I don't know Mr. Victor Kiss is here, what advice do you have?"

"Mr. Chief of Staff, I'm here for Adrianople! Now all the high-ranking nobles in Adrianople are gone, and the city's commander-in-chief is Lieutenant Colonel Viktor Pasha, and he hasn't ordered the entire army yet. This is our chance!" Victor Kiss said directly

Petrov said lightly: "Mr. Victor Kiss, this is indeed good news. It is very beneficial to our siege! But this news, it's not your turn to go there yourself, right?"

Victor Keith shook his head and said, "No! I mean, we might take Adrianople without bloodshed!"

Seeing that Petrov frowned, he explained: "Lieutenant Colonel Viktor Pasha has another identity, he is a member of the Turkish Youth Party!

Since the coup d'état failed by the Al-Shabab in Turkey, it has been brutally suppressed by the Sudanese government, and the two sides have been on fire like water and fire!

In order to overthrow the dictatorship of the Sudanese government, now the Turkish Al-Shabaab has gone through a series of internal struggles, and they have become desperate!

Even the Armenian Revolutionary Party has cooperated with them. Basically, as long as it is conducive to overthrowing the rule of the Sudanese government, they are willing to do it! "

Petrov asked suspiciously: "Even so, it is impossible for them to give us Adrianople directly! You must know that if the Sudanese government army is defeated, the Balkans will have nothing to do with the Ottoman Empire?

Once it happens, it is absolutely impossible for the Sudanese government to let him go, and even his family will be implicated. Even if you threaten him with his identity as the Turkish Youth Party, it will be useless! "

Victor Kiss did not explain, but said lightly: "Try and there will be no loss? It may not be possible to make him surrender, but it is still easy to let go!"

The Ottoman Empire is a miraculous country, and now they are losing all over the battlefield, it is no big deal to have one more place, they have plenty of ways to get rid of crimes! "

Petrov thought for a while and said, "Okay, since your intelligence department is sure, go ahead! If there is any need, I can cooperate. But tomorrow night at the latest, we will still launch an attack!"

...

"Long time no see, Lieutenant Colonel Viktor Pasha!"

"Victor Keith, you still dare to show up. Now that the Sudanese government is full of arrest warrants for you, do you think that now that the war broke out, no one will take credit for you?" Victor Pasha sneered. explain

Victor Keith ignored his words,

I found a chair and finished it, and then said lightly: "At least you can't! An enemy's enemy is a friend. We may have differences, but at least we have a common topic when it comes to overthrowing the dictatorship of the Sudanese government." !

As for differences? Let's wait until the Sudanese government is overthrown. Like now, everyone can only hide in a dark place where they can't see the light. They are always worried about revealing their identities. It's hard to be arrested by the secret police! "

After hearing his words, Viktor Pasha's tone softened, and he asked suspiciously, "What's the matter with you coming to see me? If it's because of a lack of weapons and ammunition, I can provide you with a batch now!"

Victor Kiss shook his head and said: "Since the failure of the last uprising in Constantinople, the lackeys under the Sudanese government are like crazy, staring at us to death, and never launched another attack Opportunity!

I came to you this time to discuss a major event, a major event that is enough to hurt the Sudanese government! "

Lieutenant Colonel Viktor Pasha was even more puzzled, and asked in puzzlement, "What's the matter?"

"You know about the Balkan Wars!" Victor Kiss

Viktor rolled his eyes, and said to himself: Isn't this nonsense, isn't I beating you?

"If the Ottoman Empire is defeated, and it is a disastrous defeat, can the rule of the Sudanese government be so stable? Then our chance will come!" Victor Kiss said cautiously

After a moment of silence, Viktor said coldly: "You are here to be a lobbyist for the Bulgarians! Stop dreaming, I will never surrender!"

Victor Kiss explained: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just making a suggestion, not asking you to surrender! Don't you know the current situation in Adrianople? It's impossible to stop the Bulgarians' attack!

Instead of waiting to die here, you might as well break out, after all, the Sudanese government is not worth everyone's life for them! "

Lieutenant Colonel Viktor Pasha was shaken, the dignity of a soldier prevented him from surrendering, but it would be different if it was a breakout!

"Tell me! What do you want me to do? What kind of benefits did the Bulgarians promise, worth your life?"

Victor Keith smiled and said: "It's very simple, as long as you leave a hole when you arrange the city defense and let them in, when the city breaks down, you can naturally lead your men to break through!

This is something that is good for everyone. You let the Bulgarians in, and they let you go. Everyone gets what they want!

And after the event is completed, the Bulgarians are willing to donate one million levs to fund your activities!

As for me? Bulgaria promises to support our independence movement and to use their influence to get the Russians on our side! "

"You still really know how to do business, can I still refuse?" Lieutenant Colonel Viktor Pasha said with a wry smile

"Why refuse? This is a win-win situation! We are not afraid of death, but for the Sudanese government, let's forget it! Time is running out, you should go and prepare early, and don't take the hard-won al-Shabaab His family fortune was ruined in vain!" Victor Kiss said half-inducing and half-threatening

...

In the early morning of the next day, just after dawn, the Bulgarian army launched a full-scale attack on Adrianople, and within an hour of the battle, they broke through the north gate!

Lieutenant Colonel Viktor Pasha led the defenders to resist tenaciously for more than three hours, but was finally defeated and forced to break out from the south gate. So far, Adrianople, the gateway to the west of the Ottoman Empire, fell!
