What made Carlo change his color was actually nothing. On the third day after Bulgaria declared war on the Ottoman Empire, Greece and Serbia also declared war on the Ottoman Empire.
People who don't understand may say, isn't this a good thing? There are two more enemies to deal with Osman.
When you hear this, you will know that you are ignorant of politics, because it means that the situation is out of control. Greece and Serbia are very involved, making the war suddenly have an extra side.
In a battle situation where the two camps were originally clearly divided, a third party suddenly appeared. How could we fight this?
Although Greece and Serbia declared war on the Ottomans, everyone knew that they did not belong to Italy's side because they had not talked with Italy at all.
This is very embarrassing. Two uninvited guests have entered the current war, causing inexplicable changes in the war situation. The more critical thing is that this plan to carve up the cake from the Ottoman Empire was clearly prepared by Italy, but suddenly two more
What does it mean to be an uninvited guest?
However, it is not easy at all to drive away these two countries with the strength of Italy, because there are other countries standing behind it. If it were not for the two figures standing behind it, as for the current Serbia and Greece, Carlo would have been able to
To be honest, even one of them is not enough to defeat Italy with one hand. Since these two small countries have less than 5 million people, what can they do to compete with Italy?
"Send in the British and Russian ambassadors immediately. I have something to do and need to summon them."
Following Carlo's words, the originally simple Italian-Turkish war in the Balkans rapidly expanded and now has become a vortex involving the situation of major European countries.
While Carlo was angry about the two Balkan countries, some people in St. Petersburg were also angry about it.
"Damn it, why did these Serbs act like this? Why didn't we receive the news in advance? Gorchakov was derelict in his duties. Our ambassador to Serbia is even more deaf and blind."
The one who was roaring violently was Tsar Alexander III. The Russian's little father was now furious at the Serbian's actions.
Facing the wrath of His Majesty the Tsar, Goremekin, as Prime Minister, could only bow his head and remain silent when faced with such a scene. The Tsar was right about this. The Serbs' private declaration of war against the Ottomans this time really disgusted Russia.
Not light.
To put it bluntly, the Serbs, as pawns, acted privately and caused trouble for Big Brother. Although Russia has not made the corresponding decision in the war with Italy and Turkey, Serbia's method of forcibly siding with Russia
, who among the top Russian officials would not scold him when he saw it?
But despite the scolding, we still need to solve the problem. After all, Serbia is still a good little brother. It is a nail inserted by Russia in the Balkan Peninsula. Can we not let it go? Especially when Russia and Bulgaria have drifted apart.
Down.
"Your Majesty? We should still consider how to deal with the aftermath."
After the tsar finished cursing, Goremekin, as the Prime Minister of the government, spoke about the most important matters at present.
That's right, even if the Serbians were the ones who took the bait? As the big brother, Russia must find a way to remedy it. After all, Serbia is related to Russia's layout in the Balkans? So it is impossible to let it go. And Alexander III also knew this,
That's why he scolded the Serbs. If he had little to do with Russia, how could he be so angry?
After taking several deep breaths in succession, Alexander III looked at the Prime Minister in front of him and asked, "What countermeasures does your government have?"
"Your Majesty, the government's approach is to first endorse the Serbian declaration of war, or at least express acquiescence. In addition, since Serbia is at war with the Ottomans, our country can support them with a batch of weapons."
Prime Minister Goremekin's words made Alexander III a little dissatisfied? He looked at his Prime Minister and continued to ask, "That's all?"
Of course there is more? But before, considering that His Majesty the Tsar was not in a good mood, Goremekin did not finish speaking? But now faced with the Tsar's inquiry, he had no choice but to keep it? He just pulled out the entire plan.
"In addition, let the military in Ukraine conduct exercises? To deter other countries from joining? In addition, Serbia, which launched a war privately, cannot be let go. Kiriyenko, who served as ambassador in Belgrade, seriously neglected his duty this time and transferred him
Come back, and after this war is over, we will give warnings and punishments to the Serbs."
Obviously, as the Prime Minister of Russia, Goremekin needs to consider Russia's interests first. At a time when he may be dragged into trouble at any time, he cannot punish the Serbs first. He can only prioritize ensuring that they are not prepared for the Ottomans or other countries.
Attack, and then wait until the war is over before discussing punishment.
Faced with the method given by Goremekin, Alexander III felt that there was nothing wrong with it and said, "Then just follow this method, but you must warn the Serbs that if it happens again, the empire will reconsider."
Relations between the two countries. Our country will not allow such a situation to occur again. This is the first and last time."
It was obvious that although he was unwilling to do so, Alexander III acquiesced in the Prime Minister's approach.
Of course, compared with the Russians' actions for the Serbs, which they could only acquiesce after being furious, the British Empire was much more calm.
"Tell Trikoupis, the Greek, that we are very disappointed with his actions and that the British Empire will provide absolutely no help."
Looking at the Greek ambassador in front of him, Cecil, who was the Prime Minister of the British Empire and also the Foreign Secretary, said these words expressionlessly. Facing his words, the Greek ambassador in front of him felt hot. Because
His words also represent the attitude of the British Empire towards Greece this time.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, our country sincerely means no offense. This time, the Italian-Turkish war in the Balkans has devastated life in the region. And with the participation of Bulgaria, the situation in the Balkans is facing a reshuffle. Our country is really unwilling to see the local situation worsen.
, so I had to take this step.
In addition, I heard that in order to bring Bulgaria into the war, the Italians offered generous conditions to allow it to annex the Macedonian region. This will seriously affect the balance of power in the region, so our country can't wait to prevent this from happening."
Well, in front of the famous Prime Minister of the British Empire, the Greek ambassador did not dare to play any tricks and directly eliminated all Greece's concerns about this war.
Facing the Greek ambassador, Prime Minister Cecil glanced at him and said, "Although our country will not provide much help, we can still ensure the safety of the Greek territory. In addition, although our country cannot provide help, I believe that if your country
If the country contacts arms dealers, for the sake of money, they will definitely provide a batch of arms quickly."
Such straightforward words have shown the British Empire's attitude. If the Greek ambassador still doesn't understand, there is really nothing he can do.
In fact, the Greek ambassador understood what Prime Minister Cecil said very clearly. He said with a smile on his face, "Thank you Britain for its support of our country. I will send a telegram to the country right now."
Seeing the teachable look of the Greek ambassador, Cecil nodded with satisfaction and sent him away.
When he was alone in the office, Prime Minister Cecil immediately showed disdain. Don't think that he didn't know that it was these Greeks who caused the situation in the Balkans to become like this.
Of course, he did not deny that what the Greek ambassador just said was right. This Italian-Turkish war really cannot go smoothly for the Italians. Only by muddying the water can the situation be exciting.
