Chapter 209: Drastic Measures Against Sudden German Advancements
The German Navy had slapped the pride of the British Empire in the face so hard it felt like there was no choice but to double, and triple down on their efforts to cross the English
Channel and send troops to aid their allies.
Currently, the War was not going in the allies' favor. The French had repeatedly tried to attack German border fortifications across the Rhine, and were now theorizing about marching
through Belgium to try to bypass them altogether.
Not remotely aware that the Germans had already planned for this potential scheme. Meanwhile, Italy and Austro-Hungary were going back and forth in the Alps, exchanging blows in small skirmishes here and there meant to test each other's strength before either fully committed to a full-scale assault.
As for the Balkan Campaign, it had turned into a complete and total shit show in the first month of the war. Belgrade was a Ghost Town, forever haunted by the one hundred thousand citizens who were buried in a mass grave outside its boundaries.
While the Serbian Provisional government rallied as many men as they could to send at the nearly two million invaders who had massacred their capital and everyone in it.
Bruno had dug in at Belgrade, choosing to wait for his allies to catch up with them so they could make a joint push into what remained of Serbian territory and wipe out their newly reformed army in a series of swift and brutal assaults.
As for the Ottoman Empire, they were busy combatting the Austro-Hungarian and Russian Armies in the Caucasus, while at the same time trying to send as many troops to aid Serbia by funneling them through Montenegro.
The Ottomans in particular were struck hard, with 500,000 Russians and Austro-Hungarians already marching through the Caucasus. Against their 150,000 active soldiers that remained after the Balkan Wars.
