Romanian Eagle

Bulgaria, after being supported by Germany and Austria, categorically rejected the demands of Serbia and Greece. This made Serbia and Greece very dissatisfied with Bulgaria's actions, and the number of secret conversations between the two countries became more frequent. Bulgaria is not ignorant of the close contacts between the two countries, and he also has his own ideas.

But among the people, the media in the three countries are more excited than the government. From the very beginning, Serbian newspapers have published that Bulgaria, which has benefited the most from this Balkan war, should give some territory to compensate for the losses of Serbia and Greece in Albania. This caused an uproar in societies where nationalism prevailed in the Balkan countries.

Bulgarian newspapers also politely refuted that this is what Bulgaria should get paid, and Bulgaria sent the most troops and suffered the most casualties. Such accusations are not desirable. Moreover, Serbia also occupied the Bitola and Ohrid areas that should belong to Bulgaria, and Greece also occupied the Thessaloniki area, which should be returned to Bulgaria.

The Greek media also followed suit and accused Bulgaria of caring only about itself and not having the slightest scruples about its allies. For a while, the three non-governmental countries continued to scold each other, but those who are careful will find that the Serbian and Greek media are mainly pointing to Bulgaria, and there are very few accusations between the two countries.

And the governments of the three countries did not ask about this, so that all countries felt that the Balkan alliance had collapsed, and now they began to pinch each other for their own interests.

Soon the scolding in the newspapers had turned sour, as Serbia and Greece began to expel Bulgarian teachers, priests and residents from their occupied Macedonia. The Bulgarians retaliated just as well, with armed clashes in some places.

Inside the Bulgarian palace, Ferdinand I asks about the conflict. "How is this going?"

The Minister of War, Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov, faced the king's inquiry and told what happened. It turned out to be a small village called Hasz in the middle of the Line of Actual Control of Serbia and Bulgaria. A Bulgarian soldier saw the Serbs driving the Bulgarian nationals out of the village and stepped forward to stop it, which resulted in a fight between the two sides. Then both the Serbian and Bulgarian troops arrived. The Bulgarian army, of course, did not like to see their soldiers being beaten and stepped forward to help. The Serbian army rushed forward when they saw that their people were beaten by Bulgarian soldiers. During the tussle, it was unknown who fired the shots, and the soldiers on both sides also raised their guns to shoot at each other.

The final result is,

Bulgaria killed 14 and injured 34, Serbia lost 16 and injured 41. Both sides pointed to each other as the fault of the other side, which prevented both the governments of Cyprus and Bulgaria from stepping down. Now both countries are full of grievances, and both blame the fault of the other side.

After listening to the words of the Minister of War, Ferdinand I knew that the anger of the people now needed to be vented. If it was not vented on Serbia, it would be vented on himself. Now only military preparations can be made, thinking of this, he asked Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov, the Minister of War. "How are we preparing now?"

Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov knew what the king meant and informed him of the preparations of the army. "Your Majesty, we need to replenish ammunition now. It's better to prepare more Madsen machine guns and cannons for us."

In this war, Bulgaria felt the deepest, in addition to the cannon is this Madsen machine gun. This machine gun with a net weight of 9.07 kg performed better than Maxim in the mountains of the Balkans. This is due to the fact that most of the Bulgarian army is attacking, and the Maxim heavy machine gun cannot charge together with the soldiers, while this Madsen machine gun can follow the charge of the infantry and can support the infantry at any time.

Now the army is very fond of this machine gun aided by Romania, and now Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov hopes to add another batch to the army to improve their attack capabilities.

When Ferdinand I heard the request of the Minister of War, he said to him. "I'll find a way to do your request."

King Ferdinand asked Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov, the Minister of War, to wait here for a while, and he called for a bodyguard. "Call the Prime Minister."

The guards left after receiving the order. Now that Bulgaria is preparing for the next war, it is urgent to strengthen the strength of the army. After all, the armies of the two countries are not comparable to the Ottomans. He still knows this.

After a while, Prime Minister Geschoff, led by his guards, came to the palace in a turbulent manner and met Ferdinand I.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

Prime Minister Geschoff continued to ask after saluting the king. "I don't know if your Majesty is looking for me for something?"

"Lieutenant-General Mikhail Savov, the Minister of War, came to me and wanted to add some machine guns and artillery to the army. I don't know how much budget is available in the government's finances."

Ferdinand I pointed at the Minister of War and stated his purpose straight to the point. Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov smiled at the Prime Minister to show his goodwill.

Hearing the king's request for the army, Prime Minister Geschov was very clear about the finances. Now that Bulgaria's finances are running out of money, the needs of the army still need to be met. Prime Minister Geschoff said after pondering which funds to use. "Your Majesty, we still have 1.2 million leva of military aid available in Romania (2 million lei military aid from Romania), and 5 million marks (about 6.25 million leva) in German military aid. The government can still squeeze With 3.5 million levas for the purchase, this is the last fund our government has come up with."

After hearing the Prime Minister's report, Ferdinand calculated in his heart that there are almost 11 million levees, which should be able to meet the basic needs of the army.

After learning about the financial income, King Ferdinand asked Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov next to him. "Speak up what your military needs to buy, so the Prime Minister can be prepared."

Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov said it after a little thought based on the amount stated by the Prime Minister. "For the amount of German military aid, we can purchase 36 75 field guns and 24 75 mountain guns, and we buy the remaining share of artillery shells. Romania also has the remaining share of military aid plus our own financial funds to buy 300 Madsen machine guns Buy another 50 Maxim machine guns. Then I estimate that we need to buy 3 million rounds for the Madsen machine guns. We need to buy 1.5 million rounds for the Maxim machine guns. It’s better to let them send them after we place the order.”

Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov is also calculated based on the consumption on the battlefield. In the Balkan War, the Madsen machine gun was used more and the ammunition consumption was relatively large, and now there is no inventory of ammunition. The Maxim machine guns are less used, so there are still a lot of them in stock.

Hearing Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov's report of the military's needs, Prime Minister Geschov replied after thinking for a while. "The purchase is not a big problem. I need to coordinate the timing. I have a good grasp of Germany. But I don't know about Romania."

Hearing Prime Minister Geschov's words, Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov hurriedly said. "Your Excellency Prime Minister, this batch of arms is very important to us, it is related to whether we can repel Serbia"

Seeing that the Minister of War was talking about this, Prime Minister Geschov couldn't say anything, and could only answer. "Okay, I'll definitely bring the ammunition back before the war."

After talking about the replenishment of the army, Prime Minister Geschov returned to the Prime Minister's Office on Poder Street, where he worked. This is a three-story white conjoined building with 43 rooms, of which Prime Minister Geschoff's office is located in the best room on the third floor.

After returning to the office, Prime Minister Geschov asked Foreign Minister Dirasloch to be called. "Telegram to Germany and Romania, we need to buy arms."

Foreign Minister Dilas Lodge asked. "How much do we need to buy?"

Prime Minister Geschov told Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov about the needs of the military and told him seriously. "This batch of arms must tell them that the time is tight, and it is best to arrive within half a month."

Seeing the Prime Minister's face and tone, Foreign Minister Dirasloch knew that this matter was very important. Combined with the current relationship between Bulgaria and Sehi, he had a result in his heart. "Please rest assured, Prime Minister, I will send a telegram to the two countries to send the arms we want to purchase as soon as possible."

After hearing the words of Foreign Minister Dirasloch, Prime Minister Geschov said to him. "Go ahead."

Foreign Minister Dirasloch left the Prime Minister's Office and personally sent telegrams to the German and Romanian governments, reporting Bulgaria's arms purchase list, and also reminded that it needs to be delivered as soon as possible.

The answer given by Germany was very fast. They replied that they could send it to Bulgaria in half a month. And Romania has no news yet.
