The Second Balkan War broke out after Bulgaria launched an attack on the Serbian and Greek armies that occupied the territory that belonged to them.
Bulgaria only declared war on the two countries the morning after launching the attack, which made both Serbia and Greece very angry and immediately declared war on them. However, the two countries, which suffered heavy losses in the Bulgarian raid, could only transfer their remaining domestic troops to
The front line supplemented previous losses. Among them, Serbia added 30,000 troops to Marshal Putnik who retreated to Miyako, and mobilized another 70,000 troops domestically. Greece also provided reinforcements to King Constantine I who retreated near Dambia.
40,000 people were recruited, and 60,000 mobilization troops were also recruited in the country.
Bulgaria was not ambiguous. After defeating the Serbian and Greek armies, it continued to recruit 100,000 people. However, these were far away and could not quench the near thirst. In Macedonia, as Marshal Putnik led the main force of the Serbian army to retreat closer to the country
In the Myako area, the Bulgarian army, in addition to continuing to follow up and confront it, fiercely pursued and attacked the Serbian Third Army retreating from Bitola.
Due to the loss of heavy weapons, the number of 50,000 Serbian Third Army retreated from Bitola was reduced to 30,000 when it retreated to Skopje. It basically lost its combat effectiveness. Bulgaria also occupied Serbia in three days.
Macedonia's Kochani, Shtip, Kavadarci and other places gradually approached Serbia's most important city in Macedonia, Skopje. Greece also had to send troops to defend its South Macedonia region due to the gradual loss of Serbian Macedonia.
For a time, Bulgaria was in the limelight, which made all European countries look at it with admiration. The two countries now urgently need the help of allies, and of course they have set their sights on Romania, which can help them most now.
In the Royal Palace of Romania, Edel was sitting behind his desk and chatting with Chief of General Staff Presan about the current situation in the Second Balkans.
"Serbia has lost a lot of troops now. I guess they are impatient now."
"Yes, Your Highness, the behavior of the Serbian and Greek armies this time is completely different from that of the first Balkan War. It really makes people don't know what to say."
After hearing what the crown prince said, Lieutenant General Preshan was also disappointed with the Serbian and Greek armies.
After hearing what General Plesan said, Edel was now concerned about the Romanian army. "What's the situation of our army?"
Facing the Crown Prince's question, General Plesan said that the current situation of the army was: "Now all divisions have arrived at their positions, and the headquarters of each army has been established. We only need to wait for the commander to take office before launching the attack. And
We have established six transportation groups to ensure the supply of materials, which is enough to meet combat needs."
"Ta~ta~ta"
After hearing what General Pleshan said, Edel was about to say a few words to the Chief of General Staff, but was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Come in."
A guard walked in and saw Edel, who was a little unhappy. He lowered his head and said cautiously. "Russian Ambassador Filalovsky, Serbian Ambassador Rick Snoch, and Greek Ambassador Adrian ask to see you."
"Please come in, three ambassadors."
Hearing the ambassadors from these three countries asking for a meeting, Edel knew that he had come here to give Romania time to join the war. Today is the third day that Bulgaria and the two countries have declared war on each other. Of course they have to come to see if Romania is ready to declare war?
After the ambassadors of Russia, Serbia and Greece saluted, Edel said to them with a smile on his face. "Do the three ambassadors have anything to do with me?"
Faced with Crown Prince Edel's act of pretending to be confused, knowing that they were here, the ambassadors of the three countries secretly sighed. It was Serbian Ambassador Rick Snoch who spoke up. "Your Highness, according to the treaty, Romania will declare war on Bulgaria by tomorrow at the latest.
Let's come over to see if your country is ready."
Edel knew that Ambassador Rick Snoch had come to urge Romania to declare war on Bulgaria earlier on the day the three countries declared war on each other. However, Edel dismissed him on the grounds that the treaty stipulated that it was four days. Now it seems that this
It was most likely his idea to bring the ambassadors from the three countries together.
Facing the Serbian ambassador's inquiry, Eder said as he should. "Thanks to the three ambassadors for their concern, we are almost ready and will declare war on Bulgaria tomorrow. So the three ambassadors can completely put aside their previous worries."
put it down."
Hearing Edel reveal their little thoughts, the three ambassadors were not angry. As an ambassador of a country, you can put your face in your pocket. If it can bring enough benefits to your country, Edel called
They danced a striptease, and all three ambassadors danced happily.
After receiving the timetable for Romania's declaration of war, the Serbian ambassador said flatteringly, "Thank you to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Bulgaria, a country that does not abide by the rules, needs to be sanctioned by powerful countries."
Eder said nothing about the Serbian ambassador's compliment and instead asked about the Russian Ambassador Filalovsky.
"Ambassador Filalovsky, I wonder what Russia thinks of Bulgaria's current actions?"
Faced with Crown Prince Edel's inquiry, Ambassador Filalovsky said righteously, "Bulgaria's behavior against a civilized country is unforgivable. It also strongly supports Romania's measures to punish its behavior."
The Russian ambassador understood what the Crown Prince meant and once again reiterated Russia's support for Romania.
Edel was very satisfied with the words of the Russian Ambassador Filalovsky, and then the three ambassadors got the results they wanted and left after chatting for a while.
The next morning, Angel, the Romanian ambassador to Bulgaria, was sorting out his clothes when a counselor from the embassy came over.
"Mr. Ambassador, we have sorted out the important documents. Where are the other items?"
Ambassador Angel straightened his clothes in the mirror and said slowly, "Just stay if it's not important. We'll be back anyway."
"Okay, Mr. Ambassador, I will instruct the staff to do it right now."
Ambassador Angel ignored him and kept arranging his clothes in front of the mirror until he was satisfied.
After sorting out his clothes, Angel picked up the briefcase in front of him, which contained the declaration of war that he needed to meet with the Prime Minister of Bulgaria today. Yes, Ambassador Angel has only one job today, which is to submit a declaration of war to the Bulgarian government, and then he can
Withdraw into the country.
He walked to the door of the embassy, where Romanian diplomatic cars had long been waiting. Since the Romanian automobile industry became popular in Europe, various Romanian institutions have replaced horse-drawn carriages with cars, and the embassy was no exception. Three years ago
, the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs asked all embassies to replace horse-drawn carriages with cars.
The Embassy of Romania is only twenty minutes away from the Prime Minister's Palace of Bulgaria. After taking a bus for less than twenty minutes, Ambassador Angel stood at the door of the Prime Minister's Palace.
A staff member of the Prime Minister's Office saw him and asked, "Ambassador Angel, what's the matter with your visit?"
Faced with the staff member's inquiry, Ambassador Angell said to him seriously, "I need to see Prime Minister Gaishov."
Seeing Angel's serious expression, the staff member asked cautiously, "Don't you know what Mr. Ambassador wants from the Prime Minister?"
"Very important thing."
Seeing that Ambassador Angel looked like he didn't want to talk to him anymore, the staff member could only say, "Please wait a moment."
After about a quarter of an hour, the staff member came out and said to him, "Ambassador Angel, the Prime Minister invites you in."
Ambassador Angel was led by this staff member all the way to the Prime Minister's Office on the third floor, where he met the Bulgarian Prime Minister.
Prime Minister Gaishov had long heard a report from his own people, saying that the Romanian ambassador came to him with a serious face and thought he was coming for the South Dobroga territory. Now he plans to appease the ambassador first.
"Your Excellency Ambassador, I'm glad to see you. I wonder if you are here because of the South Dobroga issue?"
After hearing Prime Minister Gaishov's polite words, Ambassador Angel still said with a straight face, as if he was staying away from strangers. "Yes, I came here just for South Dobroga this time."
After hearing what Ambassador Angel said, Prime Minister Gaishov explained, "Mr. Ambassador, we are discussing when to return this territory to Romania."
"No."
Ambassador Angel interrupted Prime Minister Gaishov's words expressionlessly.
Hearing Ambassador Angel's interruption, Prime Minister Gaishov held back his dissatisfaction and asked, "Why don't you use it?"
Ambassador Angel took out Romania's declaration of war from his pocket, handed it to Prime Minister Gaschov and said, "We will take it ourselves."
Prime Minister Gaishov saw the declaration of war in the first row of the declaration of war handed to him by Ambassador Angel, and his whole mind was completely confused, and he completely ignored what Ambassador Angel said.
Seeing Prime Minister Gaishov who was hit by the declaration of war, Angel whispered, "Prime Minister Gaishov, Prime Minister Gaishov."
Prime Minister Gaishov came to his senses, stepped forward, grabbed Ambassador Angel, and shouted excitedly, "You can't do this, you can't do this." At the end of the speech, the Prime Minister's voice was filled with tears.
Ambassador Angell was a little excited when he saw that Prime Minister Gaishov had returned to normal, and said, "This is the decision of our government. I am just an ambassador who delivers the message. Prime Minister, please don't lose your composure."
Ambassador Angell's words made Prime Minister Gaishov gradually calm down, and he said to the ambassador, "I'm sorry I lost my temper."
Then he changed to a cold tone and said, "Mr. Ambassador, I have received your declaration of war. I still have a lot of work to do and I will not keep you here."
After hearing Prime Minister Gaishov's words, Ambassador Angel still said seriously, "Then I take my leave."
"I won't send it."
After watching Ambassador Angel walk out of the office, Prime Minister Gaishov couldn't hold on any longer and sat down on the ground limply. When the staff checking on the situation saw him, they quickly helped him up.
Prime Minister Gaishov weakly said to this staff member, "Don't worry about me. Send a telegram to the king quickly. Romania has declared war on us."
The staff member was shocked by the shocking news from the Prime Minister, and quickly helped him to his seat to rest, and immediately ran out to send a telegram to Ferdinand I. The news about Romania's declaration of war on Bulgaria also spread.
