The demands of the four Balkan countries are undoubtedly hilarious. Although they still seem to have the upper hand until now, even ordinary people in European countries can see who the winner is. In the final analysis, war is nothing more than fighting.
It's just money. How can those poor people defeat Hamid II who wields the oil stick? His Majesty the Emperor killed them even if he threw money at them.
In response to the Balkan Alliance's request for peace talks, Hamid II simply set out conditions to first withdraw from all the Ottoman lands they occupied, and then prepare a compensation of 50 million pounds, otherwise his army would directly attack the capitals of the four countries.
He went to talk to them. He is already preparing for a counterattack. 400,000 new soldiers are waiting for him. Peace talks? Peace talks are nothing!
However, at this time, Britain, France and Russia could not sit still. They did not mind Hamid II winning and weakening the Balkan Alliance, but it would be bad if it was weakened too much. After all, they had to continue to maintain the balance of power in the Balkans. In other words
In other words, these four countries must continue to play the role of containing the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empire.
"Is your country prepared to mediate the Balkan war with France and Russia?" Yang Feng looked at Sa Daoyi in front of him with a smile.
"Your Majesty, this war has killed hundreds of thousands of people. As a responsible big country, the British government is very reluctant to see the war continue. The French and Russian governments also think so, so our three governments have decided to mediate together.
This war will restore peace in the Balkans." Sa Daoyi said, this kind of matter must first explore Yang Feng's attitude. After all, he is such a big deal behind Hamid II, and no one can turn a blind eye.
"Indeed, I am also very sad about the tragedy of human life in the Balkans. Putting aside the issue of who is right and who is wrong in this war, from a purely humanitarian point of view, it should not continue. This is a good thing. So, it counts.
As a member of China, and in order to reflect the principle of fairness, I will also invite the Kaiser and the Austrian Emperor, and we six countries will jointly mediate." Yang Feng said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, we very much welcome China to join the mediation, but it is not necessary for Germany and Austria-Hungary to join, right?" Sa Daoyi said with a smile. The British government came to test Yang Feng's attitude first and has already done so.
We are ready to let China join in the mediation. After all, China and the Ottomans are allies, and to put it bluntly, Yang Feng is Hamid II's backstage. It is impossible to bypass China for this kind of thing.
The result of the mediation is actually not important. Britain, France and Russia have already written the script for this war. The two sides have ceased war and restored the pre-war borders. In addition, considering that Hamid II will actually suffer a greater loss, it can make the Balkan Alliance symbolic.
Give him a compensation of 1.8 million pounds, which will greatly weaken the strength of both sides. No one will benefit from this war, and the degree of weakening will not give the other side a greater advantage. There is still a balance between the two sides.
state, and at the same time increased the hatred between the two sides, and will inevitably fall into a long-term military confrontation.
As for whether both parties will accept this script, this is not within the scope of their consideration at all. As long as Yang Feng is dealt with, Hamid II will have to agree even if he doesn't agree. As for the four Balkan countries, they still have nothing to say at this time.
right.
But with the addition of Germany and Austria, the situation becomes complicated.
Yang Feng has no interests in the Balkans and will give him certain benefits in other aspects. He will not care how the script of Britain, France and Russia is written, but Germany and Austria are different, especially the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Emperor Joseph will definitely block this script.
Until the Ottoman Empire defeated Serbia and Bulgaria to the extent that it was satisfied with it, it was obviously far from being satisfied with it at this time. The Balkan Alliance would probably be about the same with another 200,000 to 300,000 dead.
But if this is the case, how can we contain him in the future?
"This is not good. After all, maintaining world peace like this requires the joint participation of all countries. I believe that the Kaiser and the Austrian Emperor are also looking forward to restoring peace in the Balkans. If they are ignored, they will be very disappointed."
Yang Feng said, smiling happily from the expression on his face.
It is not possible to cease the war between the two sides now. The Balkan Alliance only had more than a hundred thousand casualties, which was far from reaching his expected goal. Especially the Serbian casualties were only 40,000. This number was far from reaching the level that would tempt Emperor Joseph. At least one more would have to be added in front.
For such a small country, the total military strength is only around 200,000. If the loss exceeds more than half, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will swallow it up without ceremony.
But it would be inexplicable if he came out to obstruct it, because no matter what the situation in the Balkans is, it seems to have nothing to do with China. If the top six in Europe had more imagination, it might not be difficult to see that he harbors evil intentions.
Therefore, the best way is to let Germany and Austria join in, and then let them do the work. At most, he is considered to continue to play the role of a facilitator. After all, if China alone joins the mediation, it will easily send a signal to the outside world to isolate Germany and Austria.
, this will create a rift in his friendship with William.
Sa Daoyi guessed that this was the reason. In fact, the three countries did have this consideration, and even planned to try their best to give Yang Feng some benefits during the mediation process and pull him to his side. But since Yang Feng insisted on Germany and Austria participating,
He could no longer discuss the issue.
After Sa Daoyi left, Yang Feng did not hesitate to release the news that Britain, France and Russia were preparing to mediate the Balkan War, and also released the news that he hoped Germany and Austria would join. Emperors William and Joseph reacted immediately.
, opposed the practice of Britain, France and Russia to ignore the international community and would not recognize any results of the three countries' mediation. At the same time, Hamid II also announced that he would refuse to accept the mediation of Britain, France and Russia, unless it is the current mediation involving the participation of the seven major powers.
Immediately after the Austro-Hungarian Empire announced a large-scale military exercise in Bosnia, the Ottoman Empire invited the German Navy to visit the southern port. Germany immediately responded. A fleet with four diesel engine battleships as the core sailed south into the Mediterranean, targeting the Ottoman port of Smyrna.
, the situation in Europe suddenly became tense.
At this time, the first batch of six perfect battleships of the German Navy were officially put into service. Since the six perfect battleships of the British were all in Singapore at this time, it was obvious that if a war broke out, Britain would be at an absolute disadvantage in the short term, and the British Admiralty had to
The six battleships were urgently transferred back to Europe, but at the same time they left Singapore, the Chinese Navy's Kunlun and Qinling formations accepted the Ottoman Empire's invitation and would visit the Ottoman Empire.
The significance of this news made Britain, France and Russia even more uneasy. It was obvious that Yang Feng was sending a signal that if Britain, France and Russia used force to force Hamid II, he would not mind using force to fulfill his alliance obligations.
The entry of these two notorious battleships into the Mediterranean will pose a great threat to the balance of European maritime power. If the six perfect battleships are withdrawn, Britain can still regain its maritime confidence, but these two ships entering the Mediterranean
, they will not be able to find it back.
While the Tyrannosaurus rex were playing their own games on the chessboard, the chess pieces were also fighting for their own interests. The first batch of 200,000 new Ottoman troops suddenly joined the battlefield in Edirne, followed by a total of more than 400,000 Ottoman troops.
A counterattack was launched against the exhausted Bolshevik coalition forces on the opposite side. Amidst the roar of more than two hundred 155mm heavy artillery that had just been shipped from China, the Ottoman soldiers, who had been indoctrinated with jihadist thoughts by the imams for several months, held their hands
The latest rapid-fire rifle in China surged like the raging waves of a tsunami, overwhelming the opposing defense line almost instantly.
Opposite them, the Bolshevik coalition had been depleted for nearly four months, with less than 250,000 left. The long war, endless deaths, and the dilemma of lack of food and ammunition had already worn away all of them.
In fact, they have already lost the ability to attack. Now they are suddenly counterattacked by nearly twice the enemy. Moreover, most of them are new to the battlefield. They are passionate young people full of jihadi ideas. They are not afraid of death when they charge.
, not to mention the terrifying artillery suppression.
In fact, when the two hundred 155 heavy artillery bombarded the Allied forces, they had already begun to collapse. The Ottoman army's attack only accelerated their defeat. Nearly 200,000 defeated troops rushed north without any will to resist.
Behind them, the Ottoman troops were chasing after them all over the mountains and plains. Those who were caught up threw away their weapons and knelt aside. However, it was obvious that the Ottomans were not prepared to tell them that they should surrender their guns and not kill them. Most of the people who surrendered were shot directly.
Hamid II knew very well that if he wanted to ensure that similar wars would not happen again in the future, the best way would be to kill all those who could fight in these four countries. Why take prisoners? They have to be fed with food, and finally they have to be released.
Go back, and they won't be grateful to themselves after they go back. The best way to deal with such people is to make up for it with a shot.
The defeat of the Bulgarian Allied Forces did not stop until they entered Bulgaria. Fortunately, the pursuit was too fast at this time, and the Ottomans' logistical supplies could not be supplied. This unprecedented war came to an end. After entering Bulgaria,
After that, the Ottoman army stopped their pursuit and began to count their glorious victories.
In this major counterattack, they killed and captured more than 60,000 Bulgarian troops, including 40,000 Serbs, while the Ottoman army suffered less than 10,000 losses.
This brilliant victory completely reversed the situation in the Balkans. Immediately afterwards, another 200,000 new Ottoman troops joined the battlefield and invaded Macedonia to the west. After a short rest and material supplies, the Ottoman troops on the northern route also began to continue their march towards Bulgaria.
They attacked and even shouted the slogan of hitting Sofia and capturing Ferdinand I alive. r1152
