Bulgarian Empire

Negotiations are still going on. Carol I, who was besieged in Bucharest, breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the final stop condition from Bulgaria. The result was better than he had anticipated!

The Bulgarians do not have a big mouth from a lion, and their requirements for territory are only more than 3,000 square kilometers, although the important port city of Constanta is included!

As for the so-called apologies, migration of people, war reparations, etc., they were directly ignored by Carol I. These are all subsections!

"Call back Barnoske and accept all the terms of the Bulgarians!" After speaking, Carol I was relieved.

...

On the other side of the Ottoman Empire, Ankara, there is a fierce quarrel at this time, first quarreling whether to accept the terms of the Bulgarians, and then quarreling where to cede!

&1t;i>&1t;/i>

In short, the Turkish Youth Party, which has just gained power, is very naive in this regard and its internal contradictions are also very prominent.

The radicals were too idealistic and advocated not giving way. They believed that the Germans would not let the Ottoman Empire collapse, and could use diplomatic means to force Bulgaria to make concessions;

On the other hand, the conservative view is the opposite. They believe that Bulgaria also has the support of the Allies, and the Allies have limited support for the Ottoman Empire.

Mainly because the Germans have limited strength in the Near East, it is difficult to form a substantial threat to Bulgaria.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire was already an old enemy with the Ottoman Empire, and because of the death of the Austro-Hungarian Minister, they were very dissatisfied with the Ottoman Empire. To count on them to support the Ottoman Empire is undoubtedly an idiot!

They all look down on the Italians of the Sixth Army. Although the navy is good, it is still the Allies in the Mediterranean region. The Italians promised to intercept the Bulgarian navy in the early stage, which ended in no time under the intervention of Britain and France, is the best proof! &1t;i>&1t;/i>

It was not until the Germans showed their attitude that the two factions ended their quarrel. However, conflicts arose over the new issue immediately, as to what place to cede in exchange for Bulgaria's withdrawal from Asia Minor.

For several days, everyone was waiting for the reply from the Ottoman government. Not to mention the Bulgarian Minister of Foreign Affairs Metiev, even the representatives of various countries were waiting impatiently!

The Ottoman government's delay in giving a reply makes everyone very dissatisfied! Anyway, you have to have an attitude to negotiate, right?

To bargain, you have to throw something out? Can't you just keep dragging?

At this time, Ferdinand was the most leisurely one, and the negotiation with the Ottoman Empire could not end? It's okay, just convenient for robbery!

Don't think that the Bulgarian army really did not commit any crimes? That's just prohibiting robbery in private, and robbery against ordinary people! For the family property left by the nobles who have fled, isn't this in the eyes of Ferdinand nothingness? The unowned thing, of course, must be taken away! &1t;i>&1t;/i>

Not only the cities of the Ottoman Empire but even the occupied Romanian cities were basically looted!

The only thing that hasn't moved is the property of the ordinary people. They don't have much money anyway, it's not worth it, and it's easy to get angry!

In order to stabilize the place, every time the Bulgarian army went to the place, it first sealed all the granaries, released grain to the citizens, and controlled the place by controlling the grain!

Anyway, a mess is left to the Ottoman government. The longer time passes, the bigger the mess!

If the Turkish Al-Shabaab is smart enough, it should end this war as soon as possible and resume production, otherwise it will appear in the future, millions of people need to live on government relief food!

However, it did not wait long. Under the diplomatic pressure of the major powers, the efficiency of the Ottoman government was forced to improve, and the two sides returned to the negotiating table again. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

...

Time passed in a hurry, and half a month passed. The Constantinople Peace Conference came to an end on January 1, 1909. Under the witness of representatives of various countries, Bulgaria and the four countries of the Anti-Protection Alliance signed a cessation treaty.

...

The signing of the "Constantinople Treaty" marked the end of the Second Balkan War and the establishment of Bulgaria's hegemony in the Near East. The Kingdom of Greece was completely reduced to a colony, and it also laid the law for Bulgaria's annexation of the Greek Peninsula in the future. basis! &1t;i>&1t;/i>

In the Palace of Sofia, Bulgaria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Metiev reported to Ferdinand: “Your Majesty, the above are all the results of the Constantinople Peace Conference!”

Ferdinand nodded, and asked with concern: "How is the attitude of the big powers this time? Where is the contradiction between them?"

Metzhev thought for a while and said: "According to our analysis by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the contradiction between Germany and France is now fierce, almost supported by the Germans, but opposed by the French!

The energy of the French has been completely restrained by the Germans, and they have not even raised any objections to our access to Syria!

Of course, it is also possible that the value of Syria is too low, and it is not worthy of the attention of the French!

Among other powers, the conflict between Britain and Germany seems to be beginning to escalate, but the performance is not obvious, and it may continue to escalate in the future. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

The relationship between the allies does not seem to be as good as we thought. The contradictions between the Italians and the Austro-Hungarian Empire seem to explode at any time. Of course, it is not excluded that they deliberately released smoke bombs!

It is also worth noting that the contradiction between Russia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire is easing. Judging from the intelligence we have received, the Germans are now wooing the Russians, and it seems that no progress has been made yet! "

Ferdinand nodded. These situations are similar to the contradictions between countries in parallel time and space history, but due to the rise of Bulgaria, the international situation has undergone earth-shaking changes.

But Ferdinand doesn’t care. What if something happens and pits Bulgaria in?

"Well, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did a good job this time. All our strategic goals have been achieved. The powers have not realized our true goals, right?" Ferdinand said with a smile &1t;i>&1t;/i>

Metzhev thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that our negotiations are conducted in accordance with European practices and have not aroused everyone's suspicion!

By the way, after the negotiation, the representative of the Ottoman Empire submitted an application to attract more than 700,000 Ottomans in Greece. We also agreed on a time to negotiate specifically for this issue! "

Ferdinand is about to be happy. He knows the ability of the Turkish Al-Shabaab to govern. UU reading www.uukanshu.com is much stronger than the group of Ottoman bureaucrats. It is normal to recognize the importance of population. not give a **** about!

Even if the Turkish Al-Shabaab party is opened, it is useless, it is not far from the explosion of the world war!

In just a few years, it is a fantasy to turn a feudal aristocratic agricultural country into a modern industrial country!

As for the Ottoman government began to attach importance to population, Ferdinand said: It does not matter! Anyway, when a world war breaks out, the Ottoman Empire is inevitable! &1t;i>&1t;/i>

Not to mention an increase of hundreds of thousands of people, even if the Ottoman Empire adds another 8 million people, it will not be enough to change the general trend of history!

Is he having a headache for the resettlement of more than two million people on the Greek peninsula?

The extradition of civilians by the Ottoman government is equivalent to a direct reduction of one-third of the problem, and the follow-up work is much simpler!

"Okay! The Turkish Al-Shabaab has done a good thing and reached an extradition clause with them as soon as possible. When necessary, we can also provide him with some help to send these people away as soon as possible!" Ferdinand said happily

The two sides hit it off!

Ferdinand worried that these staying on the Greek peninsula would cause trouble to the future rule of Bulgaria; are the Ottomans still worried that the main ethnic group is not enough? After all, these more than 700,000 Ottomans are their **** supporters!

The Ottoman government is also worried that these people used to work as coolies for the Greeks. If they continue to stay on the Greek peninsula, wouldn't it be necessary for the Bulgarians to work as coolies for the Bulgarians?

The two sides looked at the problem from different angles, and the conclusions they reached were naturally different too! This can be regarded as a win-win transaction, everyone gets what they need!
