Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Vol 4 Chapter 21: Anti-protection alliance

With the joining of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, an agreement has been reached within the allies on curbing Bulgaria's expansion.

However, because the situation in Europe is now a confrontation between the two major alliances, it is impossible for the three countries to directly attack Bulgaria, otherwise a full-scale war between the two major alliances is likely to explode, which is unacceptable to everyone!

After all, everyone is not ready at this moment, and the Germans have not reached the peak. The gap in the navy, in particular, is very obvious, and even the power of World War I is not there!

Since the boss is inconvenient to come, it is time for the younger brother to play. Therefore, persuading Romania, Greece, Montenegro, and the Ottoman Empire to form an anti-security alliance has become a top priority!

The Ottoman Empire is the best to do. As long as someone is willing to help contain Bulgaria, they are all welcome. Even if they pay a little price, it is acceptable for them.

The question is, why should Greece, Romania, and Montenegro take such a big risk as an enemy of Bulgarians?

Even if everyone has contradictions, you still need to consider the strength gap?

The population of the three countries combined is less than 10 million, less than half of Bulgaria; the gap in industry is even greater, less than a fraction of Bulgaria!

Even if the alliance provides equipment, the three countries can have one million violent soldiers, but also have time?

Conspiracy at the top of your government can be kept secret, but can large-scale military mobilization be kept secret?

I'm afraid that Ferdinand has only just started to expand the army, and Bulgaria will know the news. Wouldn't Bulgaria start to do better?

In addition to Romania's other strengths, both the Kingdom of Montenegro and the Kingdom of Greece cannot stop the main attack of the Bulgarian army!

Everyone knows this, so it is easy to persuade the three countries to join the anti-protection alliance, and it is difficult for others to take practical action!

After all, no matter whether they are Greeks or Romanians, no one is a fool. The Kingdom of Montenegro may have a little more young people, but King Nicholas I is not stupid?

...

"His Majesty, the Minister of Italy filed a diplomatic protest against us, demanding my withdrawal from Tripoli!" Foreign Minister Metiev said lightly.

Obviously, he didn't take the Italian protests seriously. If the Italians really wanted to take action, it would not be the Italian ambassador, but the Tripoli port that the Italian navy directly blocked!

Ferdinand smiled slightly and said, "Tell the Italian if he wants Tripoli, it's not impossible, but what can he exchange for?"

How could the allies' movements conceal Ferdinand's eyeliner? Even if Germany and Italy were not penetrated, but the Austro-Hungarian Empire really had no secrets for him!

Tripoli may be significant for Italy, but for Bulgaria it is just a colony just acquired!

The strategic value is not as important as planting an island in the Aegean Sea, and the economic value is only the income of a medium-sized city!

With the attributes of the Italians selling teammates, what kind of chips does Ferdinand look forward to this time?

Otherwise, even Tripoli, which Bulgaria can't hold, Ferdinand will throw it to the British, disgusting the Italian!

That's right, Ferdinand, who had secretly planned the anti-guarantee alliance in Germany, did not stop it, but was happy to see it!

It goes without saying that Greece is so important in terms of geographic location, and it has occupied so many islands.

Romania peeks at Bulgaria's North Dobroch, and Ferdinand peeks at Romania's Danube plain?

Well, Ferdinand even fancy everyone, Romania will be placed in Bucharest, originally because of strategic security considerations-to avoid the strong frontier, unfortunately it can't be avoided now!

Although the Kingdom of Montenegro is still a younger brother of Bulgaria, it is a pity that this younger brother is not obedient, engaged in things for three days and two days, and there are no major events that continue, Ferdinand has long wanted to beat them.

If the Kingdom of Montenegro jumps backwards, Ferdinand laughs. Everyone knows that the second middle school boy has a lot of farts, then the Germans should have a headache, and the relationship between Austria and Hungary cannot be coordinated!

Yes, Ferdinand dared to break off. Even if Montenegro now jumps backwards, he will obediently come back later. The second middle-aged Serb boy in their country already has a blood feud with the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Therefore, with so many unfavorable factors added together, Ferdinand does not think that the anti-guarantee alliance that the Germans toss has any substantial effect!

...

Things often change without people's will. Romania, which has not been taken seriously by Ferdinand, joined the anti-protection alliance first. Why?

It was all money. After the Balkan war, the Russians imposed double tariffs on Romanian agricultural exports in order to crack down on competitors.

After the Russo-Japanese War, the Russians withdrew from the Marmara Sea and Bulgaria took over the strait, but this policy was continued!

Oh, the Russian navy has withdrawn from the strait, but the face Ferdinand still has to give it. Any import and export duties involving Russia are paid by others themselves, and the French have the same treatment.

In other words, there is not much oil and water in this golden waterway anymore. Bulgaria is catching the Romanian family to squeeze, it is no wonder that Carol I did not burst!

The bourgeoisie and landlord class in Romania want to break this situation, which prompted the Romanian government to make this decision!

The Greek government that broke the jar was similar. After Bulgaria occupied Crete, the two sides tore their faces, and the domestic anti-security forces rose.

The King George I's right to speak in the country is getting lower and lower, and he is too lazy to interfere, so he let the situation develop. In the end, the Greek government also made this risky decision under internal pressure!

Oh, these two joined the anti-protection alliance, Ferdinand was not surprised at all, the problem is that the Kingdom of Montenegro actually jumped back!

I don't know what the Germans promised. In short, the Kingdom of Montenegro also secretly joined the anti-protection alliance.

You should know that the economy of Montenegro is now controlled by Bulgaria. Ferdinand sneezes, and the financial quake will explode in Montenegro!

At the Royal Palace in Berlin, Germany, William II is listening to the Foreign Minister's report on the Near East.

"Your Majesty, although the Anti-Protection Alliance was established, no matter whether it is Greece, Montenegro or Romania, they are not willing to send troops to help the Ottoman Empire, and they are afraid to fight against Bulgaria now!"

That's right, as Ferdinand expected, it is easy to establish an alliance, but it is difficult to send troops. If the four can join together to win, it is estimated that everyone can be united.

But now the 6th Army of the Ottoman Empire is the strongest of the four countries. Unfortunately, it has lost control of the sea and can only wait for Bulgaria to attack in place;

The other three countries also have a good navy in Greece, but a fleet that has not been funded for ten years has some combat power. Can you imagine?

The great powers are not stupid. In order for the Greeks to repay their debts, the warships in the Greek Navy were disposed of as early as ten years ago, and the rest were broken copper and iron. Come down.

Therefore, it is impossible to seize the power of the sea. Now if the three countries send troops, that is to replace the Ottoman Empire and attract Bulgaria to attack!

William II frowned and asked in confusion: "Why have Bulgarians been making petty fuss all the time and have not yet boarded the 6 Asia Minor Peninsula?"

That ’s right, Bulgaria has been fighting the Ottoman Empire from the beginning of the war until now, but it has not fought the Ottomans. In addition to attacking Libya, it has only snatched a bunch of islands. The big decisive battle does not exist!

The Minister of Foreign Affairs explained: "Bulgaria is still engaged in diplomatic efforts. Bulgarians want countries to recognize their sovereignty over the Asia Minor Peninsula, but our firm resistance!"

"Oh, hell! Don't we recognize their sovereignty over the Asia Minor Peninsula, wouldn't they do it?" William II asked wonderingly.

The anti-protection alliances have all been established. Just wait for the Ottoman Empire to drag the main force of Bulgaria's 6th army. Hello everyone, start to tear a piece of meat from Bulgaria.

As deadlocked as it is now, isn't this anti-protection alliance a joke?

That's right, there are more than 800,000 troops mobilized in Bulgaria, and less than 100,000 people are actually engaged in the war. This 700,000-strong army is here. Who dares to act rashly?

"Yes!" The Foreign Minister answered affirmatively.

He also explained: "This war broke out so suddenly that neither side had the time to prepare. The appetite of the Bulgarians may not be as big as we thought. After eating the islands of the Aegean Sea, their strategy may have been completed!

Therefore, what can be gained in the future, the Bulgarian government's expectations are not high. Unless countries can recognize their sovereignty over the Asia Minor Peninsula, they will not die with the Ottoman Empire! "

William II shook his head and said jokingly: "If we recognize Bulgaria's sovereignty over the Asia Minor Peninsula, it is estimated that the Sudanese government will jump straight at it!

Now we also try our best. Bulgarians are not willing to board 6, and we can't tie them up!

Follow him for the rest, and see what the Ottomans mean, and we are ready to mediate this war at any time! "

Obviously, this defeat is not worth mentioning to the Germans! William II did not take it to heart, after all, this is just a small ring in German world occupation!

"Your Majesty, maybe the British need the Bulgarians to attack the Asia Minor Peninsula more now!" The Foreign Minister suggested

"Continue!" William II said lightly.

"After the reform of the Sudanese government ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~ with our help, the 6th New Army has been established. The presence of this army has threatened the British's interests in Egypt, at least they are in the Yuladi River. The expansion of the river basin has been forced to stop! "The Foreign Minister explained

William II thought for a while and said, "Yes, the Suez Canal is the lifeblood of the British. They really hope that Bulgaria can rebuild the Ottoman Empire!

It seems that in this regard, we have a common topic again. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the London Government contacted to see if they could cooperate again! "

Obviously, at this moment William II has not regarded the British as his greatest enemy, otherwise he would think how to break the British monopoly on the Suez Canal instead of weakening Bulgaria!
