Ottoman troops marched against the signing of the defeat treaty, and the news spread to various countries as soon as possible.
In response to this news, various countries reacted differently. Among them, countries such as Britain, France, Austria, and Russia were so angry that they just wanted to curse.
After finally obtaining the best conditions for Osman, now he is facing the possibility of total ruin.
Faced with this situation, Britain, France, Austria, Russia and other countries certainly did not just sit back and curse. They immediately contacted the envoys in Istanbul and asked them to mobilize all their forces to stop the demonstrations from the army.
It's just unclear how effective this will be.
However, compared to Britain, France, Austria, Russia and other countries, Italy and the Balkan countries participating in the war cheered. Especially Bulgaria, which had long been dissatisfied with this, issued a statement that if the Ottoman overturned the results of the previous peace talks, the consequences would be borne by the Ottomans themselves.
.
As for the two countries, Serbia and Greece, they have some ambivalence about this. Osman overturns the previous negotiation results, which will give the two countries a reason to continue to tear off a piece of flesh from Osman. But compared to them, Bulgaria will gain more benefits. This
Put them in a dilemma.
However, no matter what the small Balkan countries think, if they continue to fight the Ottomans, they still have to look at Italy's opinion. Therefore, Italy's attitude has become a key point at present, which also makes various countries frequently contact the Italian government, hoping to get some news.
"Your Excellency Fulam, currently our country has no other views on the matter in Istanbul. Everything needs to wait until Osman himself decides."
Prime Minister Despretis, who had just returned to Rome, spoke diplomatically to the British Ambassador to Rome, John Flam, in his office.
Fulam, who failed to get the news from the Italian Prime Minister, said with regret. "Prime Minister Depretis, please don't let the Balkan people suffer anymore. Our country is very concerned about this.
"
"Please rest assured that after our country makes a decision, we will notify your country."
After sending the British ambassador out, Prime Minister Despretis rubbed his dry eyes. In the past few days, he had met many ambassadors, whether they were from the Balkans or from great powers such as Britain, France, Germany, Austria, and Russia.
Yes, they all have only one purpose, and that is to know what Italy thinks of the mutiny that broke out in Istanbul.
Although he also wanted to inform them, he, as the Prime Minister, did not know the actual situation. Because this matter was of great importance, it was still under discussion.
DePretis looked at the pile of documents on the table that he had not had time to process. He couldn't help but smile a bit. This was all work delayed by frequent visits.
And just when he was about to start processing these documents, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Which ambassador is visiting again?"
Faced with being disturbed? Despretis was a little angry, so his tone of voice was no longer as calm as before.
"Prime Minister, news from the palace? His Majesty is looking for you."
The words of the secretary outside the door made Depretis immediately calm down? Because he was looking for him at this time? Then it must be about Istanbul.
"Prepare the car immediately, let's go to the palace."
When the Prime Minister arrived at the palace, he realized that there were a lot of people this time. In addition to him and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, there were also several senior military officials.
The young King Carlo was sitting on a chair, quietly communicating with the Minister of War.
Faced with this situation? De Pretis apologized casually. "Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road and I was late."
After seeing that the Prime Minister had arrived, Carlo stood up and said. "Since everyone is here, let us first understand the latest situation in Istanbul."
Following Carlo's words, the captain of the guard, Filmic, stood up to explain the situation in Istanbul. "The situation in Istanbul has gradually calmed down? This mutiny led by the Ottoman Youth Party has taken over its power. The Grand Vizier who participated in the negotiations before
Kamil Pasha and Foreign Minister Halim Pasha and their families have been executed by Al-Shabaab for betraying Ottoman interests."
The chief guard paused here and let the people present digest the news.
"In addition, Ottoman Sultan Hamid II has authorized Ahmed Riza, who led the mutiny, as the new minister of war. In addition, he has appointed Javad Pasha as the grand vizier? And..."
After Felicimi finished talking about the changes in the top management of the mutiny, Depretis said. "So, the mutiny in Istanbul has caused a major change in the top management of the Ottomans. So what about the conditions negotiated before?"
"I don't know about this, but judging from the contents of the mutiny, there is a high probability that they will not admit it."
After hearing Feli Mickey's answer, the people at the scene fell into silence for a while, and it seemed that there would be more fighting next.
At this time, Carlo, the king of Italy, said, "Everyone, this is the Ottomans' own choice, so we will meet their requirements."
Yes, there are currently a group of young men in Italy who are beating up Osman, the sick man of the Near East, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
Seeing that the fighting spirit of everyone present was rekindled, Carlo continued. "General Saraget, tell me about your army's response plan."
"Okay, Your Majesty."
I saw General Saraget uncovering the map covered by a cloth on the side, holding a baton and speaking.
"The Ministry of War has done it before. I think it is time to let you know the next battle plan if the Ottomans do not accept it. According to the plan, the Balkan Army Group currently in the Balkans will be divided into three divisions after the war resumes.
The troops set off from the Cooks Pass and captured the Kosovo area as quickly as possible.
There are currently only two Ottoman divisions formed by new soldiers in the area, and they will not be opponents. After the capture of Kosovo, in addition to the two divisions left to defend the area, the remaining one division is joining the Montenegrin and Bulgarian Fourth Army.
Afterwards, it moved closer to Skopje. Then, together with the main force of the Balkan Army, it encircled and annihilated the main Ottoman forces gathered in the city.
Our ally Bulgaria, on the other hand, is responsible for blocking the Ottoman army in Eastern Thrace. We will wait until our army has annihilated the Macedonian enemies and then reinforce them in order to capture Istanbul in one fell swoop.
In addition, in order to prevent the Ottomans from accepting defeat and refusing to surrender even if Istanbul is occupied, the amphibious mobile force composed of the Guards and the Marine Corps will no longer participate in the battles in the Balkans and turn to occupying the Ottomans in the Aegean Sea.
They went to the islands and waited for the opportunity to land on the Asian peninsula, leading the war to the Ottoman interior."
Please pay attention to what General Saragat said. In his words, Serbia and Greece were not mentioned at all. This shows that Italy, Bulgaria, and Montenegro do not want these two countries to intervene in this war. Therefore, although these two countries are participating in the war in name,
country, but the three countries did not give it a chance to perform.
Since there is no chance to perform, what reason do they have to continue to compete for the subsequent spoils? Even if there are other powers standing behind them, they still need to have a chance to perform.
After General Saraget finished speaking, Carlo said, "Of course this is just our plan for emergencies. If the Ottomans accept it, then this plan will still not be implemented."
Although Carlo spoke as if this plan was useless, in fact everyone knew that this was a high probability event. Can the Al-Shabaab, which had just seized power by relying on the opposition to the terms of defeat, really abandon the Ottoman soldiers and civilians who supported it?
