“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Off the coast of Varna, six Rostov-class light cruisers and 12 A-class destroyers of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Imperial Navy are frantically firing at the coast.

A 155-mm shell and a 105-mm shell smashed the shore and exploded violently.

The entire city was in chaos at the moment.

Countless Bulgarians, fleeing the city in a frenzy.

Originally, it was arguably the most prosperous seaport city in the Kingdom of Bulgaria. But at the moment, it is in chaos.

The army of the Bulgarian kingdom stationed here has a full infantry division, more than 10,000 people.

However, in the face of the frenzied shelling of the Russian Imperial Navy, these troops of the Bulgarian kingdom did not have the slightest fighting spirit at all.

After just half an hour of fire preparation, the Russian Empire’s troop carrier sailed directly into the port.

In order to land quickly, the Imperial Russian Navy deliberately avoided the port during shelling.

Soldiers of the 1st Infantry Division of the Imperial Russian Army were the first to land here.

Teams of heavily armed soldiers disembarked from the troop carriers, lined up on the docks, and went on the offensive.

The army of the Kingdom of Bulgaria stationed in Varna made almost no resistance and fled directly.

As more and more troops landed, the Russian Imperial Army began to attack the periphery from Varna.

More units of the Imperial Russian Army were also rapidly landing.

Sofia, the capital of the Kingdom of Bulgaria.

King Ferdinand I was stunned when he learned of the fall of Varna. He didn’t seem to have imagined that the Russian Empire would dare to actually take military action against them.

“O God! What the hell are those barbarians trying to do? Could it not be that they want to provoke a big war in Europe? Behind us is Austria-Hungary! King Ferdinand I could not believe that the Russian Empire would dare to launch military action against Austria-Hungary even though they had clearly warned them.

“Your Majesty, we need to immediately ask Austria-Hungary to reinforce us. Otherwise, our army alone could not have been an opponent of the Tsarist Empire! The Prime Minister also looked worried.

King Ferdinand I nodded repeatedly, knowing very well that with the strength of the Bulgarian kingdom, it was simply impossible to confront the Russian Empire. The strength of both sides is simply not on an order of magnitude.

In total, the Kingdom of Bulgaria has a population of just over two million. And the population of the Russian Empire has exceeded 120 million. The Kingdom of Bulgaria, not even a fraction of the Tsarist Empire!

In such a situation, what will they use to resist the attack of the Tsarist Empire?

Subsequently, the Kingdom of Bulgaria asked for help from Austria-Hungary and gathered troops in the capital Sofia, preparing to resist the attack of the Russian Empire.

“Your Excellency, the 1st Infantry Division, the 2nd Infantry Division and the 1st Cavalry Brigade have landed. The 3rd Infantry Division, the 4th Infantry Division and the 5th Infantry Division are in the process of landing. It is expected that in a maximum of two days, all troops will successfully land. Major General Croix, chief of staff of the 1st Army, reported.

“Very well, order the 1st Cavalry Brigade to quickly storm Sophia. The 1st Infantry Division and the 2nd Infantry Division followed. We need to take Sophia in the shortest possible time, crush the resistance of the Bulgarian kingdom and annex the country! Admiral Gurko, commander of the 1st Army, ordered.

For the Russian Empire, it was natural to hope to be able to take the entire Bulgarian kingdom in the shortest possible time and complete the annexation operation.

The longer it drags on, the more likely it is that something unexpected will happen.

The Russian Empire sent troops to the Kingdom of Bulgaria and intervened by force, which caused an uproar throughout Europe and even the world.

In other words, the countries did not expect that the Russian Empire would do this in the face of increasing international tensions. The young tsar of the Russian Empire was so decisive.

However, this naturally aroused a strong reaction from all parties concerned in the Balkans.

Austria-Hungary was the first to jump out, they naturally could not tolerate the invasion of the Russian Empire into the Bulgarian kingdom, that was their little brother!

The Ottoman Empire could not accept the intervention of the Russian Empire in the Balkans. They are a feud with the Russian Empire! Once the Russian Empire gained a foothold in the Balkans, wouldn’t their Rumelia region be directly threatened by the Russian Empire?

Even the Kingdom of Caesar believed that the intervention of the Russian Empire in the Balkans would destabilize the region. The Kingdom of Caesar, for the Balkans, was equally ambitious.

The Germanic Empire, the Gallic Empire and the Empire of the Sun Never Set were equally concerned about the situation in the Balkans.

After all, the Gallic state and the Russian Empire were now allies, and they did not want to be involved in the war.

The Germanic Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which were also allies, did not want to be involved in the war at this time.

As for the people who do not set the sun, they are naturally afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they hope that a big war will break out because of this.
