After Ambassador Filalovski received the telegram, he personally sent it to Serbian Prime Minister Protic in the evening of the same day.
"Ambassador Filalovski, thank you very much for your help. We in Serbia will remember this friendship."
Prime Minister Protic, who took a look at the telegram first, expressed his gratitude to Ambassador Filalovsky. He had reason to do so. The Russian ambassador will join the negotiations between Serbia and Romania. Of course, he
He would be a lot more polite. Ambassador Filalovsky was also very lucky this time. The Serbian negotiations were in a hurry, and the country had no choice but to use him as his post, so the lucky apple fell on his head.
Ambassador Filalovsky also said to Prime Minister Protich with a smile on his face. "Well, Prime Minister, in the following negotiations, I will endorse the results of this negotiation on behalf of the Russian government."
"Thank you Ambassador."
After the two talked for a while, Ambassador Filalovsky was about to leave. Before leaving, he asked about the negotiation time.
"So when do negotiations begin?"
"The morning after tomorrow, we will start in this hotel conference room."
Prime Minister Protic finally settled down after seeing off Ambassador Filalovsky. He did not stay in the hotel these two days, but walked around Bucharest, the capital of Romania, to learn about the local people.
Price levels, wages, life pressure, etc. Generally speaking, Romanians are enjoying the benefits brought by economic development. Although there are also shortcomings, such as there are many drunkards on the street, these people are so drunk that they fall into a pile of mud.
Sleeping soundly in the corner. The road facilities are relatively narrow, and vehicles are sometimes jammed together. This also reflects the increasing number of wealthy people in Romania.
Not to mention that Romania’s population of 8 million (the data at the end of 1912 includes the foreign population) is twice that of Serbia’s 3.34 million, which is more than Serbia and Greece combined. In the heart of Prime Minister Protic, he is very envious, and he is worthy of it.
It is a plain area, it can support the domestic population and become the second largest food exporter in Europe.
So after two days of observation, the city of Bucharest is much more prosperous than Belgrade. And Romania is not only prosperous in the capital, but the seaside port city of Constanta is also developing like the Romanian capital. However, Prime Minister Protic
There is no time to take a look now, he has to prepare for the next negotiations.
On the day when the negotiations resumed, Prime Minister Bretianu and Foreign Minister Barnosk were already waiting in the conference room. Yesterday, Prime Minister Protich sent someone to inform them that Russia would send someone to participate in the negotiations. This made both of them
Extremely excited. You must know that after Crown Prince Edel stated Romania’s conditions, they did not think that Russia would agree. After all, everyone can see the friendship between Bulgaria and Russia. Even though there is a small conflict now, it will not be resolved.
Thus abandoning Bulgaria. Now they are impressed by the Crown Prince's extraordinary vision.
After receiving the news, Edel also secretly felt lucky for his speculation. If it weren't for the memory of later generations, he would not have dared to offer such conditions. Now it seems that Russia has agreed to Romania's conditions, which will be much easier. As long as
If Russia agrees to the Entente, it will not object, and Germany and Austria cannot fully support Bulgaria now. This gives Romania an opportunity.
Prime Minister Bretianu and Foreign Minister Barnosk saw Prime Minister Protich and Ambassador Filalovsky walking in and knew that the Russian representative was the Russian ambassador to Romania.
As soon as the negotiations began, Foreign Minister Barnosk asked with a smile, "Your Excellency Prime Minister Protic, I wonder how the Serbian side has considered our conditions this time?"
"My presence here now speaks volumes." Prime Minister Protich also said jokingly in a relaxed mood.
Anyway, Serbia does not need to sacrifice its own interests. It only needs to give up Bulgarian territory to allow Romania to join the alliance. Of course, he will be very relaxed.
After hearing the Serbian Prime Minister’s joking words, Prime Minister Bretianu said this time not so politely. “Then I would like to confirm that the Serbian government has confirmed that we are interested in Bulgaria starting from the small town of Svishtov on the Danube River along Pre
Do you own the territory from the Slavic town all the way to the Black Sea?”
After hearing the undisguised words of the Romanian Prime Minister, Prime Minister Protic said seriously. "We recognize Romania's sovereignty over the above-mentioned areas and will confirm this in future peace negotiations with Bulgaria."
After listening to Prime Minister Protich's words, Bretianu turned his eyes to Russian Ambassador Filalovsky. The ambassador knew that he needed to express his position on behalf of the Russian government at this time, and said in agreement. "We, the Russian government,
I will also agree with your country’s conditions and support your request in future peace negotiations.”
After hearing that both of them agreed to Romania's conditions for joining the EU, Prime Minister Bretianu said to the two, "Then the two representatives, Russia and Serbia, agree to our conditions, then we can start negotiations on the issue of sending troops.
.”
After Prime Minister Protic heard that negotiations could begin to send troops, he immediately stated Serbia's conditions. "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I hope that Romania will declare war on Bulgaria as soon as the war begins and send no less than 400,000 troops to attack.
Bulgaria."
After hearing Prime Minister Protic state Sevivia's conditions, Prime Minister Bretianu reduced him to one point at a time. "Prime Minister Protic, you don't understand the Romanian army. We can now send 20 troops."
Regarding the commitment of more than 10,000 yuan, regarding the time for Romania to enter the war, we promise that it will not be later than five days after your declaration of war."
After hearing Prime Minister Bretianu state Romania's conditions, Prime Minister Protic was certainly not satisfied. He continued, "Prime Minister Bretianu, it is difficult for everyone to be satisfied with your Romanian conditions. You know
Even our Serbian army can mobilize 300,000 troops. And as an alliance, declaring war as soon as possible is what we should do."
After hearing that Prime Minister Protic was dissatisfied, Prime Minister Bretianu continued to explain, "As for the time to declare war, we can only achieve four days. After all, we also need to prepare. As for the issue of sending troops, please rest assured on this point.
We can ensure that Romania’s 200,000 troops will be enough to bring Bulgaria to its knees this time.”
Then the two prime ministers began repeated negotiations on the time to declare war and the issue of Romania's sending troops, and they reached an agreement late in the evening. In this Cerro Secret Treaty, Romania's obligation was that in the event of war between Serbia and Bulgaria,
Romania needs to declare a state of war against Bulgaria within four days. And within three days of declaring war, Romania will send no less than 230,000 troops to attack Bulgaria.
As a condition for Romania to send troops, Serbia will support its sovereignty over Bulgaria's territory of approximately 22,000 square kilometers, extending from the town of Svishtov on the Danube River to the town of Preslav to the Black Sea. Russia
The government will endorse this and will also use its influence to get Britain and France to agree to Romania's demands. This alliance treaty also stipulates that no country can negotiate peace with Bulgaria alone.
After the negotiations were completed, Prime Minister Protic took a train back to Serbia that night because news came from the country that the Bulgarian army was showing signs of preparation.
On the third day, Greece and Montenegro also joined the alliance. This time, Serbia took the lead. Of course, the two countries were very satisfied with Romania's joining, and they didn't have to pay anything. Who could refuse the free benefits.
At this point, the anti-Bulgarian secret alliance of Romania, Serbia, Greece, and Montenegro was formally established.
