Chapter 220 The anxious Balkan countries

(Changed it to fifteen minutes, sorry, the steamed buns are a little late this time)

Belgrade, located at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, is the capital of the newly-born Serbia. Although Serbia has only been independent for 12 years, the country is very ambitious, and its relations with the surrounding Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and Romania are not good. The only thing that is slightly better is

The most likely thing is the Principality of Negro, which is still separated from the Ottoman territory.

In just over ten years, Serbia has provoked its neighbors all over the place, which is considered very powerful.

Of course, this is not the original intention of the Serbian government, but as a saying goes, if the situation is compelling, it must be done as a last resort. The poor relations with Austria-Hungary are mainly due to nationalism in Serbia. Due to the large number of Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina, this

The Chinese people very much hope to merge with Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, Bosnia and Herzegovina is currently in the hands of Austria-Hungary, and the dream of the Serbian government has been shattered.

The poor relationship with Bulgaria was caused by the Serbian-Bulgarian War. The other two countries have intentions for the Macedonian region, and the sense of competition is also mixed in.

As for Romania, the relationship between Serbia and Russia is more involved. Romania, as an anti-Russian country, certainly does not want to see a Russian younger brother behind it.

Of course, Serbia was still able to thrive after offending its neighbors on all sides. Naturally, it had its backers, and its backer was the famous Tsarist Russia.

Originally, Tsarist Russia supported Bulgaria the most in the Balkans, but then there was a crisis in Bulgaria due to a change of kings. The Russians, who were somewhat disgraced in Bulgaria, turned their attention to Serbia.

Now that we have received benefits from Russia, we need to contribute to Russia, so later there was the war between Serbia and Bulgaria.

Of course, this war has passed, but isn't this a new war? It is the war between the Ottoman Empire and the Italians that it has been peeping at. The Serbian government, which feels uncomfortable if it cannot get some benefits, is of course eager to

Get involved and get a piece of the action.

Because Serbia had received the news, the Principality of Montenegro was pulled onto the chariot by Italy, and generous rewards were promised. This made the Serbians greedy, and they wanted to get off the field immediately and join in.

However, if you want to participate, you need the consent of the Italians who initiated the war. Otherwise, you will not get any benefits even if you rush in recklessly.

Grujic, who is the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Serbia, entertains this distinguished guest in the Prime Minister's Office. At least for the moment, he is an honored guest to the Serbian government.

"Your Excellency Mayer, our country is very happy to see Italy launch a war against the evil Ottoman country. To this end, our country has held several large-scale demonstrations in support of your country. This shows that our people's support for Italy has

I also ask that your envoy consider your enthusiasm for lying on the rails so that our country can join the just war to liberate the Balkan people oppressed by the Ottomans."

That's right, in front of Prime Minister Grujic is? Italy's special envoy in the Balkans, Meyer. Is he sitting in front of the Serbian Prime Minister? Looking at Prime Minister Grujic's wonderful performance, his expressions and movements are so real? If it were another person

People who don’t know who they are? Maybe they just believe it.

This prime minister from the Serbian People's Radical Party has a character as radical as his party name. For the benefit of Serbia? He can do whatever it takes. Although this is a good thing for Serbia, he does not know how to adapt to his character.

? Let them get twice the result with half the effort.

Surely this was the Serbian choice? It didn’t matter to Mayer.

However, the Salvia Prime Minister's thoughts could not be hidden from his eyes. "Thank you for your warm hospitality. Your people support our country's disciplinary war against the Ottoman Empire. Here, on behalf of our government, I repay

Highest thanks. But is your country's participation in the war? Is this a matter of great importance? I cannot make a decision on this. I still need to report to Rome and let our country make a decision."

Mayer's words were obviously words of evasion. If he really wanted to contact me, he would have contacted her long ago. He could have waited until now.

But although it is a word of evasion, Prime Minister Grujic still holds some hope. "I hope your country can decide as soon as possible. Our country's 200,000 troops? I urgently want to fight with your country."

Two hundred thousand more, after mobilizing all militia reserves.

Although Mayer was a little disdainful in his heart, he did a good job on the face of it. "Don't worry about this, I will definitely bring your country's urgent mood to you."

After the two talked for a while, Prime Minister Grujic personally sent him out of the Prime Minister's Office.

After the carriage carrying Mayer left, Grujic's face became unhappy. Then he complained in a low voice at a volume that only he could hear. "These damn Italians."

However, his troubles did not end there. Shortly after he returned to the office, the door was suddenly knocked open. In came Colonel Miticic, who was in charge of Serbian intelligence work.

"Prime Minister, we have just received intelligence that the Bulgarians are secretly mobilizing, and many of the troops they have recruited are equipped with Italian weapons."

Colonel Michiuki's words immediately silenced the office, and then only a bang was heard, and a piece of porcelain was broken into pieces and scattered on the ground.

Prime Minister Grujic's angry voice immediately sounded. "These damn Italians would rather find Bulgaria than give our country a chance. Damn Italians, I wish you a disastrous defeat by the Ottomans in Macedonia."

This news made the Prime Minister say that he would rather see the Ottomans win than the Italians. You can imagine how much this affected him.

As for how the news of Bulgaria's mobilization came to be known to the Serbians, it is not difficult. After all, it is impossible to conceal such a mobilization. After all, it involves too many people, whether it is personnel, materials, transportation, etc., there are too many people handling it.

Who can guarantee that everyone will not speak out? Even the powerful British Empire and Germany, which is famous for its discipline, cannot do this.

In fact, Bulgaria has been secretly mobilizing for half a month. Being able to conceal it for half a month is already very commendable.

Of course now is not the time to praise them, because if Serbia can get the news, so can other countries.

And in
