Chapter 80, The Struggle of the Montenegrin People

Montenegro

Ever since the breakout of the Near East war, this tiny nation had been aboil, immediately completing nationwide mobilization, with men, women, old and young all joining the fight.

The people of Montenegro were proud; they were the only ethnic group on the Balkan Peninsula that had not submitted to the Ottomans, and for hundreds of years, they had been at the forefront of resisting the Ottoman Empire.

It was a nation where every citizen was a soldier; without any need for government coercion, the people spontaneously took up arms and returned to military order.

Shkodër lay just ahead, and Montenegrins had fought their way to this point many times before, but this time was different, this time their chances of victory were significant.

Not long ago, they had successfully rendezvoused with Austria in the Bosnia and Herzegovina region, solving the issue of their weapons and ammunition constraints, significantly boosting the Montenegrin Army's combat power.
