Bulgarian Empire

When Ferdinand abandoned the strait strategy and switched to the peninsula strategy, the subsequent negotiations would be much smoother.

For the Germans, if the Ottoman Empire can be preserved at the expense of Greece, it is completely acceptable. Now the ruling party of the Ottoman Empire-the Turkish Youth Party, their performance is still very satisfactory to the Germans!

Perhaps the German government is also preparing to continue its historical practices to help the Ottoman Empire complete internal reforms and train a truly new Sixth Army to ease the pressure on the Eastern Front!

Not surprisingly, the first to complete the negotiations was the Kingdom of Montenegro. Since the differences between the two parties were not too great, Metzhev took over the requirements of the Kingdom of Montenegro to pay war indemnities instead of cede land. Of course, the number of indemnities increased slightly.

On September 15, 1909, on behalf of the Prime Minister of Bulgaria and Montenegro, Meteve signed the Armistice Treaty under the witness of all countries-the "Treaty of Armistice War Protection", the Montenegro Treaty of the "Constantinople Treaty"!

The treaty stipulates that since the signing of the treaty, the two countries officially ended the war; the Kingdom of Montenegro paid Bulgaria's war indemnity of 480,000 pounds in one lump sum, which could accept payment in kind, and the allies provided loans to pay the shortfall.

So far, the Kingdom of Montenegro officially withdrew from the Second Balkan War. After the news came out, Nicholas I, who was far away in Podgorica, breathed a sigh of relief.

Then began a hard-working debt repayment career. Don’t look at the 480,000 pounds. The number is not large, which is equivalent to 120 million levs. However, for this small mountain country with a population of only over 120 million, it is equivalent to carrying 10 columns per capita. This is equivalent to their three-month gross national product!

However, in comparison, the Kingdom of Montenegro is pretty good, and Romania is a bit harder. The Bulgarian army has occupied a large area of ​​the city, and of course it is impossible to let it go easily.

Bulgarian Minister of Foreign Affairs Metiev said calmly: "Well, this is our last condition. Romania:

Either cede the Slobozia and Constanta areas (about 3,000 square kilometers) and pay a war indemnity of £60 million;

Either cede the Craiova and Slatina areas (about 14,000 square kilometers) without paying war indemnities!

Either a one-time payment of 53 million pounds of war reparations, you can not cut the land! "

At this time, Romanian Foreign Minister Barnoske could only look forward to the German Foreign Minister Pilov, hoping that the Germans could help them.

Pilov did not disappoint him. He directly became a peacemaker and said: "Mr. Metjev, your country's asking price is too high. The Romanian army did not cause much harm to your country in this war.

From the point of view of your country’s losses, it will not exceed £30 million, even if you add in the compensation of £10 million for war expenses, it is enough!

As a responsible big country, we hope that your country should show sincerity for peace and not let the hatred continue! "

Medev said solemnly: "No! Mr. Pilov can't do that. Because of the Romanian invasion, we mobilized a total of 30,000 troops and 260,000 civilians, and consumed a lot of supplies!

This is the list we made. Mr. Pilov, can you help me take a look. What's the problem? "

After speaking, Medev took out a thick stack of documents from the bag, and there was a chapter of statistical tables on it.

as follows:

Calculated in accordance with Bulgaria’s national product value, calculated at 75o lev per person per month, 420 million lev’s wealth is consumed every month.

In addition, during the war, we also have to pay military expenses. Based on the basic calculation of 15o lev per person per month, the monthly labor salary expenditure is 840,000 lev.

There is also the cost of weapons and ammunition, so we calculated an integer to 100 million lev.

From the outbreak of the war on July 8 to now on September 16, it is a total of 7o days, the total daily expenditure: 42ooo/3o+84oo/3o=168o million lev

7o days: 168o*7o=1176 million levs, a total of 1.276 billion levs, which is equivalent to £510.4 million!

After a while, Metzhev added: "By the way, the casualties and the panic caused to the people due to the war have affected the normal economic operation of Bulgaria. We have not yet calculated this part of the loss. Statistics out.

If you can wait for two or three months, I think this part of the loss has been calculated, and we will discuss compensation again. It should be more accurate! "

After hearing what Meteve said, Romanian Foreign Minister Barnosk almost fainted, waiting for two or three months? According to the daily expenditure of 672,000 pounds (1,680,000 lev), who the **** can afford to wait?

If you want to calculate war reparations like this, you said it earlier! We absolutely signed the peace treaty on the first day. It should be that if the front line fails, we will immediately admit it!

So July is over, more than 10 million pounds is still within Romania's tolerance, and now more than 50 million, it really can't afford it!

Oh, he also knows that this is just an excuse that Bulgaria deliberately found, the compensation is false, and the real purpose is to cede land!

After all, Barnoske has long heard of Bulgaria’s military award system. If he has not obtained enough land, what should the officers and soldiers do?

Well, to Barnosk’s surprise, the German Foreign Minister Pilov was silent. Obviously, the Bulgarian’s conditions were within his tolerance. I hope Romania can accept it!

After all, if the land is cut, the first case is only more than 3,000 square kilometers. This number is really not much, even if the compensation of 60,000 pounds is added, it is not too much.

Moreover, this compensation does not need to be paid directly. As long as the Romanian government is responsible for relocating all the more than 200,000 people on this land, it can offset most of it. This condition is not excessive!

After thinking about it, Romanian Foreign Minister Barnosque said: "Please wait a moment, I will return this condition to China and wait for the final decision in China!"

After speaking, he breathed a deep sigh of relief. After all, he only paid more than 3,000 square kilometers of land to end this war, and he could explain the past to the country!

...

Seeing that Romania had also passed the barrier with ease, the representative of the Ottoman Empire Smutafa Asim Bey also breathed a sigh of relief. Now there is no Greek representative in the venue. It is obvious that the Allies have abandoned Greece this time. He is okay.

The dead dao friend does not die the poor dao!

Even if Bulgaria directly annexed Greece, he would not object! It is an honor for the Greeks to be able to exchange the interests of the Greeks for Bulgaria's concessions to the Ottoman Empire, isn't it?

Now that the Turkish Al-Shabaab Party has just come into power, if it cannot sign a decent peace treaty, how can it be explained to the people?

It is a pity that the Ottoman Empire no longer has the strength to continue the war, otherwise the Turkish Youth Party, which has just come to power, would not mind using this war to solve the hidden dangers in the country!

The Romanian representative needs to ask the country for instructions, the negotiations will continue, and then it will be the turn of the Ottoman Empire.

Medev did not go around the corner, and said directly: "If your country can come up with enough compensation, we can withdraw troops from Asia Minor, but this compensation must be exchanged at an equal value before we can accept it!"

The conditions proposed by Meteve this time surprised Smutafa Asim Bey. This is a football game. What is the equivalent?

For the Ottoman Empire, Asia Minor is the most important existence, and there is no equivalent at all!

indemnity? It is a pity that the Ottoman Empire is very poor now. Even if the Turkish Al-Shabaab party came to power and ransacked its home, these funds are the fund for the future of the Ottoman Empire. It is impossible to use all of it to pay war reparations!

The most important thing is that in this war, the Ottoman Empire has been passive in public opinion from the very beginning, and a few idiots have killed several big men. Because of the feelings of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, even the Germans cannot help them. excuse!

There is no doubt that the land is going to be cut! As for how much to cut and where to cede, Smutafa Asim Bey dare not call the shots alone.

"Mr. Metiev, this war was provoked by the previous government. We express our regret and we are willing to take responsibility for this!

Everyone knows that the previous government was a decadent feudal dynasty, UU reading www.uukanshu. The com chief is a group of foolish people, and they all paid the price!

We can't blame ordinary Ottoman people for what a few idiots did. This is immoral! "

Smutafah-Asim-Bey decisively chose to throw the pot away. Anyway, he introduced the corrupt Sudanese government to take responsibility. There is no problem at all.

Rather than arguing about the responsibility of the war with Metjeev, it is better to lean down and win the sympathy of all countries. After all, the image of the Turkish Al-Shabaab in the eyes of everyone is much better than that of the Sudanese government.

The most important thing is that the behind-the-scenes man behind Bulgaria’s previous requirements has now been suspended in the coup. Even if Smuthafa Asim Bey admits it, it is impossible for Medev to demand the surrender of war criminals. Up!

Facts have proved that Smuthafa Asim Bey's approach is very effective, at least everyone sees his vision is milder, and there is no murderous aura at the beginning!

Medev said with a smile: "Mr. Smutafah-Asim-Bey is right. That's why I can get to the negotiating table. Otherwise, even if it hits Ankara, we will not let the real murderer go. of!

However, the war has already occurred, and your government still has to take full responsibility for this war! As for what price to pay, everyone is sensible and there is no need to pretend to be garlic!

Now that we give you the right to choose, isn't it our greatest sincerity?

If we abandon the Asia Minor Peninsula, then your country must cede another piece of land to us with the equivalent value, or pay the equivalent currency as war reparations!

We accept lev, pound sterling, franc, mark and other common currencies, but of course the lira is fine! "
