"Caesar, Ulla! Caesar, Ulla! Caesar, Ulla"

Just when the sultan of the Ottoman Empire used a speech "The Turkish Empire is big, but we only have Constantiniya" to unite hundreds of thousands of Constantiniyah who were cornered.Nicholas I, the mortal enemy of the Constantinians, rode his horse and swung his whip amid the cheers of the remnants of the Roman Empire, and entered the ancient city of Stara Zagora at the foot of the Balkan Mountains, where he will command His 22 Roman legions launched a violent attack on Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, which had been occupied for 376 years.

Victory is without a doubt!
At this time, no one in the whole world thinks that Rakshasa, no, the Eastern Roman Empire will lose.I'm afraid that even Mahmud II, who was leading the militia recruited from Constantiniya to the front of Edirne, didn't think he would win. He just had no way out and had to ask for help. Going to die tragically.

In the eyes of the smug Nicholas I, the upcoming Battle of Adrianople was nothing more than a wonderful performance by the world's strongest army.The Eastern Roman Army is recognized as the number one in the world, and it is impossible to lose to the Turks.

The palace of Roman Caesar Nicholas I and the former enemy headquarters are located in the city hall in Stara Zagora. When Nicholas arrived there amid the cheers of the people surrounded by his cavalry guards , the entrance of the city hall was already full of big figures waiting for his arrival.

There are envoys and reporters stationed in the Rakshasa Empire from all over the world-they are the audience of this wonderful performance.Seeing Nicholas I, the protagonist of the performance, coming on horseback, these "melon-eating audiences" all showed complimenting smiles.There are also a few old-fashioned Seagull cameras aimed at this new era of Roman Caesar, and they took a long time to shoot, and the spotlight that can emit smoke makes a sound of "呯呯呯" at the same time, as if Like an old-fashioned musket firing.

Nicholas I was also in high spirits at this time, like a famous actor who was about to go on stage, he posed a few particularly mighty poses on horseback, which made the reporters enjoy taking pictures.

The provisional president of the newly independent Greek Republic, Kapodistria, and several other leaders of the Greek independence movement also came. They all put on the military uniforms of the Rakshasa, and when they saw Nicholas I coming, they immediately They raised their arms and shouted "Caesar, Ulla! Caesar, Ulla!" See what they mean. They don't want to be presidents or prime ministers anymore. What they want to do is the governor of the Eastern Roman Empire.

In fact, this is also the view of the country of the Greeks—compared to the ancient Greece that was too far away, it died 376 years ago, and the once glorious Eastern Roman Empire is what the motherland looks like in the minds of most Greek people of insight.

Another Pingxi Wang Wu Fax also brought a few yellow jacket naval paratroopers to Stara Zagora - he just got off the airship.His airship base had been moved from Trik to Athens, and an airship landing pad had been set up in Stara Zagora.

These days, apart from patrolling the Aegean Sea, the airship unit commanded by Wu Chuanfa is conducting reconnaissance over the Turks' positions around Adrianople. very worried.

Because when Nicholas I's army was busy playing with the Roman legion, the Ottoman Empire organized countless labor forces to start work day and night on both sides of the Denza River west of Adrianople, building layers of trenches Add barbed wire defense system!
Wu Faxan, who harvested a wave of British and Indian heads with machine guns, trenches and barbed wire "bagua machine gun array" in the Battle of Peshawar, knows how powerful this defense system is!
The scale of the defensive system of trenches and barbed wire fences built by the Turks west of Adrianople far exceeds the scale of the Eight Diagrams array outside Peshawar. Moreover, the Turks' "Eight Diagrams array" is not outside Adriaburg. Form an eight-sided formation, but follow the Densa River and the Maricha River (the Denza River is a tributary of the Maricha River), relying on the Thracian Mountains and the Strandja Mountains to carry out layer-by-layer defense in depth.

It is not easy for the Rakshasa to break through the layers of defense. Although they have 22 legions with a population of more than 20, they do not have many artillery pieces. A legion is an artillery The configuration of the regiment is less than 800 barrel artillery, which is still a full number.Under normal circumstances, the army that has advanced several hundred kilometers will leave some equipment behind, so the number of cannons that can be pulled to the front line of Adrianople is 600.

And what is more lacking than cannons is of course shells!

The current Rakshasa Kingdom has not abolished serfdom, how powerful is a country that retains serfdom?Without the support of a strong industry, how could it be possible to let go of the shells?

Moreover, in Wu Chuanfa's view, the defensive combination of trenches, barbed wire and machine guns will greatly reduce the effect of shelling. The effect that can be achieved by tens of thousands of shells is not necessarily enough now.

Therefore, not only is there a shortage of shells in Luocha, but it is likely that Britain, France, Prussia, and even the Ming Dynasty may not have enough shells. Originally, everyone stocked up shells based on the experience of the Napoleonic Wars. A battle at that time was to concentrate on one or two A hundred cannons fired for an hour or two, and then the infantry charged.It is enough to prepare 10 shells for a battle of [-] people.Therefore, for a country with a large army like Luocha, it is enough to store hundreds of thousands of shells, which is enough for ten battles!

But in the current battle of Adrianople, I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of shells will not be enough!
This matter is a bit of a mystery!

Wu Chuanzhen said heartily: "The old man looks like he's about to be bled by the old Hui H, should I remind him, or should I flatter him with the big guy?"

As soon as he thought of this, Nicholas I got off his horse and strode towards Wu Chuanchuan.

"Caesar, Ulla! Caesar, Ulla!"

Before Wu Chuanhua could think it through, General Luocha and Greek generals beside him shouted, and he reacted very quickly. He immediately raised his right arm high and opened his throat and shouted: "Ula! Ula! Ula. "

Nicholas I laughed a few times, then beckoned to his subordinates, and said loudly: "Generals, follow me. I want to know when I can sleep in Constantinople?"

As he spoke, he quickly walked into his palace and the former enemy headquarters. A group of Rakshasa and Greek generals hurriedly followed Nicholas back into the house, and Wu Faxing quickly followed and walked into Nicholas I headquarters.

Marshal Wittgenstein, the former enemy commander-in-chief of the Raksha Army, led a group of staff, and followed Nicholas I into the headquarters. Maps were hung everywhere in the headquarters, and telephone lines, telegraph lines were also pulled up. There is a thin and long antenna on the upper floor, the sound of ticking, and the ringing of the phone keeps ringing, and the staff members are walking around.Everyone looks like they're winning
Nicholas I pretended to be standing in front of a map hanging on the wall. Looking at the densely packed Turkish defense lines drawn on the map, he frowned slightly, "What are these lines?"

"It's the enemy's line of defense," said Marshal Wittgenstein. "Reconnaissance by airships shows that the Turks have built eight lines of defense between the Thrace Mountains and the Strandja Mountains. The shortest of them is twenty kilometers, the longest The length of these lines is about fifty kilometers. These lines of defense are very thin, consisting of only one anti-infantry trench, one barbed wire line, one fence, one infantry trench and some circular fortifications. In addition, between each line of defense, there are more than a dozen connected by slender traffic trenches.”

Nicholas I nodded, "How long will it take to break through?"

Marshal Wittgenstein said confidently: "Five to ten days. At most half a month, we will be able to push beyond the walls of Constantinople!"

Nicholas nodded and said with a smile: "Very good. Then let's start as soon as possible!"

"Yes! Your Majesty Caesar!"
