Bulgarian Empire

Issues that cannot be resolved on the negotiating table can be resolved off the negotiating table. In fact, as long as the allies let go, Ferdinand's goal can be achieved. As for the opinion of the anti-guarantee alliance, it is not important!

In order to achieve the real strategic goal, Ferdinand threw out this series of smoke bombs in order to confuse the six major powers and focus their attention on the negotiation to cover the actions of the Bulgarian army on the Greek peninsula!

Long before the negotiations started, the Bulgarian army had already occupied most of Greece. After the negotiations started, Ferdinand took advantage of the home field and cut off the connection between the delegations of various countries and the mainland of Greece and won three days.

Covered the actions of the third front army that had just been transferred from Izmir, namely: landed on the Peloponnese Peninsula, and occupied Piraeus, turning Athens into an isolated city! (Other areas have been occupied before, including Evia Island)

...

Oh, the Greek delegation who got the news is now angrily protesting to Megeve, but unfortunately Megeve is also an old fritter, how could he accept the move?

Facing the laughing Bulgarian Foreign Minister Megev, the head of the Greek delegation, George Theotakis, could do nothing but appeal at the negotiating meeting in an attempt to gain the support of the big powers.

"Gentlemen, during the few days I was negotiating, the Bulgarian army raided Greece, landed on the Peloponnese Peninsula, and occupied Piraeus!

The Bulgarians are a desecration of peace. They did not take the negotiation meeting seriously and violated international practice. We hope that all countries can uphold justice and stop this..."

Russian representative Paul Ivanlov interrupted Prime Minister George's tirade and said: "We deeply regret what happened on the Greek peninsula, but now it has happened, so let's continue today's negotiations!"

His proposal was supported by Britain and France, and even obtained the acquiescence of Italy, the Kingdom of Montenegro, Romania, and the Ottoman Empire. Only the Germans and the Austro-Hungarian Empire raised objections!

This result made George Theotakis very disappointed. It was normal for the Allied Powers to support Bulgaria, but the silence of the other three countries of the Anti-Bulgarian Alliance and the Italians undoubtedly told him that the countries were preparing to sell the interests of Greece in order to Satisfy Bulgaria's interest demands, thereby reducing conditions in other aspects!

In fact, this is also the case. In the following negotiations, Bulgaria's attitude towards the other three countries has softened, and it seems to be telling everyone that the main purpose of Bulgaria this time is the Greek Peninsula!

After the adjournment, Prime Minister George Theotakis protested to the three allies of the Kingdom of Montenegro, Romania, and the Ottoman Empire, expressing strong dissatisfaction with their betrayal!

Oh, as for the four countries of Britain, France, Russia, and Italy, they are all great powers, and the Greeks can't afford to provoke them, so they can only pretend that nothing happened.

At the same time, the three countries of the Allied Powers also held a secret meeting. Representatives of Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire expressed strong dissatisfaction with the silence of the Italians. They agreed that the three countries would maintain the same position in this negotiation, but today the Italians suddenly Changed hanging!

"Mr. Antonio, what does your country's performance mean today? We need a reasonable explanation!" German Foreign Minister Pilov said dissatisfied

Although the representative of the Austro-Hungarian Empire did not speak, his expression had already betrayed his attitude, which also required a reasonable explanation from the Italians.

Italian diplomatic representative Antonio Salandra said calmly: "Mr. Pilov, our attitude in Italy has not changed from the beginning to the end, and we will remain consistent with your country's position in this negotiation. , this is beyond doubt!

As for today's matter, we made an impromptu decision entirely for the common benefit of everyone.

Now that the Bulgarians have occupied the Greek Peninsula, and they have the support of the Allied Powers, it may be impossible for them to withdraw based on our diplomatic pressure alone.

Everyone knows that it is impossible for our three countries to be for the Greeks,

Just start an all-out war!

Now that the established facts have been created, if the Bulgarians can make concessions on the issues of the other three countries, it is not unacceptable to abandon Greece! "

Pilov's attitude towards the Italians is also helpless. Although it is emotionally unacceptable to give up the Greeks, he has to admit that Antonio is right.

The Bulgarians have already occupied the Greek peninsula, even if the Triple Alliance wants to intervene, it will be beyond their reach!

The power of the Germans is too weak in the Mediterranean region and can only rely on the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Italians.

The Italians have clearly stated their attitude, they will not start a war for the Greeks; let alone the Austro-Hungarian Empire, you can't expect their army to push it all the way, right?

The most important thing is that Greece is too weak. As the weakest country in the anti-guarantee alliance, even though their geographical location is very important, their practical value is the lowest!

No way, even if the allies are willing to help them, the strength of the Greeks cannot stop the two Bulgarian infantry divisions. Once the war breaks out, they will be finished immediately. What can such allies be used for?

Great powers are very realistic, in the face of feelings and interests, of course, interests are more important!

The Ottoman Empire is undoubtedly the one with the highest strategic value to the Allies. Their war potential is the greatest. They can contain the Russians and Bulgaria at the same time, and they can also threaten the Suez Canal. They cannot be given up!

The second is Romania, which has certain strength and can unite with the Austro-Hungarian Empire to deal with Bulgaria and Russians!

The Kingdom of Montenegro and Greece are dispensable existences. The Kingdom of Montenegro was bought by the Germans just now, and the Greeks were forced to come here by Ferdinand. They belong to an existence with low loyalty, and they are not considered allies. True ally!

At least the Austro-Hungarian Empire did not regard the Kingdom of Montenegro as an ally, and the Italians did not regard Greece as one thing!

...

When the allies were discussing internally, Megev was not idle. This time, Bulgaria secretly did it behind the backs of other countries. Although Britain, France and Russia chose to support Bulgaria due to their allies, they would definitely There is dissatisfaction, these still need to be appeased!

Well, to put it simply, it is a bribe! After all, before the negotiations started, everyone had reached an agreement, and the positions of all countries had been determined. What Megev had to do was to settle the representatives of various countries. Otherwise, he would learn from the Italians and be silent once, which would be enough for Ferdinand!

The autonomy of these diplomatic representatives is very great. In order to make Antonio Salandra, a right-winger, the head of the Italian delegation, Ferdinand did not spend less energy.

The current gains are also obvious, and their performance is also very good, just deliberately allowing Bulgaria to grow bigger and stab the back of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

In the eyes of these extremists, fighting the Austro-Hungarian Empire and retaking the Trentino and Grizia regions are the most important tasks, and the rest are just clouds!

Oh, this is also one of the reasons why the Italians suddenly betrayed the Allies after Antonio became prime minister!

After all, becoming an ally with the old enemy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Italians' feelings are not so easy to accept. In this emotional country, personal feelings can often surpass national interests!
