章 750: Chapter 13, Gathering of the Generals

```

According to the terms of the alliance, Austria, Russia, Greece, and Montenegro sent troops: 350,000, 336,000, 26,000, and 3,000 respectively, with Austrian Chief of Staff Albrecht serving as the Allied Commander.

Just looking at these numbers, one could tell that this was a campaign that could lead to national extinction. It should be noted that in the last Near East war, Russia and Austria deployed less than 300,000 troops each, which left the Ottoman Empire questioning its existence.

The most important aspect of joint operations is coordination, with the biggest challenge being the language barrier and communication difficulties, which increased the complexity of cooperation among the troops.

In the second half of May, the four nations set to work on this problem, with Albrecht, the Allied Commander, holding several joint meetings to coordinate and organize relationships.
