Bulgarian Empire

Edward VII in London, who was holding a diplomatic conference, received a diplomatic letter from Bulgaria inviting the British Empire to participate in the mediation of the Second Balkan War. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"This Balkan war is going to end so soon?" Edward VII asked suspiciously\u00261t;/p\u003e

It’s really fast. The war between Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire has been fought for more than two months, but there is still no result; the second Balkan war has erupted in less than half a month, and the two sides are about to prepare for negotiations. Some unexpected! \u00261t;/p\u003e

The foreign minister explained: "Your Majesty, it's not so fast yet. There are still two weeks before the negotiation time given by the Bulgarians. In such a long time, many things may happen! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Bulgaria gave us the invitation letter in advance, nothing more than to offset the diplomatic pressure from the allies, I believe the French and Russians have also received it! "\u00261t;/p\u003e

Edward VII thought for a while and said: "Oh, okay! It seems that our goal this time has been achieved, and the seeds of conflict between Bulgaria and the Allies have been successfully planted!\u00261t;/p\u003e

It's just that I didn't expect the Germans to jump out so quickly. I'm afraid they are going to do their best this time! "\u00261t;/p\u003e

Waiting for the little brother to ask for help, and then coming out to help mediate, and coming out to mediate on his own initiative, the results are often two different results! \u00261t;/p\u003e

If it's the former, you'll be grateful for your help even if you still suffer a loss of profit; if it's the latter, if you can't satisfy their interests, they will probably suspect that you didn't try your best! \u00261t;/p\u003e

The current situation is obvious. The Kingdom of Montenegro and Romania have not yet been defeated. If they are required to cede land or pay compensation during the negotiations, they will probably be dissatisfied with the Germans! \u00261t;/p\u003e

However, Ferdinand's appetite was a little bit bigger this time, and he was going to defeat the Romanians in the talks, which could be regarded as helping the Germans once invisibly! \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Unfortunately, the Ottoman Empire has not yet collapsed, otherwise our benefits will be even greater!" The foreign minister said regretfully\u00261t;/p\u003e

Edward VII smiled slightly and said: "How much benefit will the collapse of the Ottoman Empire have on Bulgaria? Ferdinand is not stupid, how could he really fight with them?" 1t;/p\u003e

Instead, I think Greece, Montenegro, and Romania are the real goals of Bulgaria's war? "\u00261t;/p\u003e

The Foreign Minister asked in disbelief: "Your Majesty, this is impossible! How could the Bulgarians know in advance that the Second Balkan War would break out?" \u00261t;/p\u003e

Edward VII said proudly: "Maybe! But these are not important. The situation is still under our control. As long as it does not affect our global strategy, even some changes are acceptable!" \u00261t;/p \u003e

He is confident that Edward VII, who was over 50 years old, restored the British monarchy that had been bleak due to Queen Victoria's long-term widowhood at the beginning of his succession! \u00261t;/p\u003e

He is also the last real monarch of the British Empire. Since then, the successors have never been able to fully control the country! \u00261t;/p\u003e

...\u00261t;/p\u003e

Compared with the calmness of the British, the Germans are not good. There is no doubt that Germany's pre-planned strategy has failed in its operations in the Near East. In the face of Vienna's accountability, the Berlin government has no choice but to appease it! \u00261t;/p\u003e

yes,

This time, the German government made a mistake in its judgment. It overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Romanian army and underestimated the war potential of Bulgaria! \u00261t;/p\u003e

As for the Kingdom of Montenegro and Greece, the Germans didn't have much expectations. They mainly hope that the Romanian army trained by Germany can quickly break through the defense line and achieve the strategic goal of weakening Bulgaria. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Wilhelm II is worried now, and failures have also failed. Germany is also a big business. They can still survive a partial strategic failure. The problem is how to ensure that the younger brothers will get out of it! \u00261t;/p\u003e

The boss is not so easy to be, if you can't even keep the younger brother, who will hang out with you? \u00261t;/p\u003e

The problem is that the defeat on the battlefield is too fast now, and you have to have a bargaining chip if you want to negotiate, right? Now the two major alliances are opposing each other, and the might of the Triple Alliance cannot scare Bulgaria! \u00261t;/p\u003e

The new German Chancellor, Obaden von Batemann Hollweg, said calmly: "Your Majesty, Bulgaria agreed to our mediation, but they asked for the negotiation to be delayed for two weeks. I will stop!" \u00261t;/p\u003e

Theobalden von Batemann Hollweg was a great but failed German statesman in the early 20th century. He opposed the war between the two alliances and advocated diplomatic understanding with the British and rapprochement with the Russians. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Negotiations between him and Great Britain on reducing the navy failed due to the opposition of Admiral Tirpitz, who was supported by Kaiser Wilhelm II. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Efforts to re-establish an alliance with the Russians also failed due to the opposition of the Krok nobles at home! \u00261t;/p\u003e

After the Sarajevo incident broke out in 1914, he cooperated with the British Foreign Secretary Edward Gray to limit the war to the Balkans, but the German High Command had the best decision-making power, and his claim failed again! \u00261t;/p\u003e

All in all, he is a failed politician, failed in political reform at home and failed in foreign policy! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Undoubtedly, Theobalden von Batemann Halvey supported the establishment of an anti-Bulgarian alliance, but he also opposed the war against Bulgaria, but it still failed! \u00261t;/p\u003e

After hearing what the prime minister said, William II's face was very ugly. Obviously he didn't buy it from Bulgaria, and he was very angry! \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Hmph! Shouldn't we do something?" William II asked, trying his best to suppress his anger\u00261t;/p\u003e

Prime Minister Aubaden von Batemann Holvey replied: "Your Majesty, we'd better not do anything now. Even if we negotiate an armistice immediately, as a loser, we must pay the price! \u00261t;/p \u003e

But now the Kingdom of Montenegro and Romania have not given up, and they are making a final fight; the Greeks have been abolished, and it is not worth our efforts to protect them; as for the Ottoman Empire, I want to wait for their new government to come out before negotiating It will be better! "\u00261t;/p\u003e

William II nodded helplessly, as acquiescence. There is no way for the four younger brothers, one is abolished, and the three still have to persist. They don't want to stop the war. What can he do? \u00261t;/p\u003e

As for Greece, which has been abolished, it is naturally out of consideration. Everyone is very realistic in this era! \u00261t;/p\u003e

...\u00261t;/p\u003e

At this time, Ankara, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, is no longer peaceful, and the Turkish Youth Party can no longer hold back! \u00261t;/p\u003e

In parallel time and space, in 1908, the Turkish Albatross took control of the garrison in Macedonia, and launched a coup in early 1909. \u00261t;/p\u003e

However, due to Ferdinand's butterfly effect, the Ottoman Empire moved its capital to Ankara, which is more conservative, and the development of the Turkish Youth Party was also affected. \u00261t;/p\u003e

In Ankara, where the traditional aristocratic station dominates, the influence of the Turkish Al-Shabab is much weaker. However, due to successive defeats on the battlefield, the troops in the Ankara region are constantly being dropped to the front line, which creates opportunities for them. \u00261t;/p\u003e

...\u00261t;/p\u003e

In the Royal Palace of Sofia, Ferdinand is holding a meeting to discuss the impact of the coup in the Ottoman Empire. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Your Majesty, the Ottoman Empire has just had a coup d'état, and the veteran nobles who are unwilling to fail will definitely launch a counterattack. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us!" The army minister ** said excitedly \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Your Majesty, I think it is time to negotiate with the Ottoman Empire immediately, otherwise they may reach a compromise because of our intervention! Only when the war is over, they can rest assured that they are infighting!" The Minister of Finance objected\u00261t;/p\u003e

...\u00261t;/p\u003e

The Minister of the Army advocated the continued expansion of the war, and he received the support of the Minister of the Navy, the Chief of Staff, the Minister of War, and the Minister of Defense. \u00261t;/p\u003e

However, the army advocated continuing to attack the Asia Minor peninsula and turning it into the mainland of Bulgaria, while the navy advocated attacking the weak Ottoman Empire in Jordan, Syria, and Kuwait. \u00261t;/p\u003e

The Chancellor of the Exchequer advocated accepting as soon as it was good and ending the war as soon as possible, which was supported by the cabinet. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Well, the military advocates continuing the war, but the direction of attack is different; the government's opinion is very consistent, so let it go! \u00261t;/p\u003e

The final decision was thrown into the hands of Ferdinand. Rationally speaking, it is safest to accept it now as soon as it is good. Anyway, the income this time is enough; but if the war continues, the possible income is too attractive, which makes Ferdinand Nan is hard to give up! \u00261t;/p\u003e

After all, if this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is missed, until the outbreak of World War I, Bulgaria will have no chance to make a move again! \u00261t;/p\u003e
