After all countries have ceased fighting, negotiations on how each country can seize benefits from Bulgaria need to be carried out, but the location of the negotiations has now become the focus of contention among the victorious countries.
Among them, Serbia and Greece hope that this negotiation will still be held in London. Firstly, the British Empire is now the strongest, and secondly, it can get the support of the Allies. However, Bulgaria has long seen through their intentions and declared that it is not willing to go to London for negotiations.
, and proposed the idea of negotiating in Berlin, Germany, but it was vetoed by Serbia and Greece. Now, the two parties regarding the location of the negotiation will propose Vienna and Paris, and they are making a lot of money.
The reason why they compete so fiercely is inseparable from their performance in the war. In the eyes of Serbia and Greece, we are the victorious countries and they should listen to us. But Bulgaria believes that both countries are defeated by their own hands and that they are being defeated.
Romania was defeated, so Bulgaria felt aggrieved when faced with the proposal of Serbia and Greece and naturally opposed the proposal. As for Montenegro, it is very self-aware and aware of its own weight and did not participate in this topic.
After Eder returned to Bucharest with General Pleshan, he learned from Foreign Minister Barnosko in the palace that countries were still arguing over the location of the negotiations. He frowned and thought for a while before asking, "We haven't expressed our opinions yet, have we?"
?”
"Not yet. However, the Prime Minister and I have received visits from many ambassadors, hoping that we can support both sides."
Foreign Minister Barnosk told the Crown Prince about the situation in the past few days after the armistice. As for the question of who supported whom, he did not need to tell the Crown Prince clearly. After all, as long as he paid a little attention to the current situation, he would know the opinions of these ambassadors.
"That's good."
After Edel replied, he continued to speak to Foreign Minister Barnoske. "Send a message to both sides and say that we think other locations are too far away and are not conducive to mutual communication. Let's negotiate in Romania."
."
"Your Highness means that we will negotiate in Bucharest?" Foreign Minister Barnoske confirmed again.
"Yes."
Faced with the foreign minister's reconfirmation, Edel stated his thoughts categorically.
After receiving a very serious answer from the Crown Prince, Foreign Minister Barnoske quickly said, "Okay, Your Highness, I will do it right away."
After seeing off Foreign Minister Barnosk, Edel walked out of the office. On the way back, Lieutenant General Plesan also wanted to understand his problem, and specifically told Edel that they were too impatient.
In response to Plesan's apology, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of course graciously said that it was nothing this time. He also encouraged him a few words and said that when General Courtois retires, he will be appointed Minister of War.
In fact, Edel knows that Plesan and his group have been going smoothly in the past few years, which is a bit too much. This time, beating them to wake them up is still very effective. However, Edel still has to consider Courtois.
After General retires, he will have to find a rival for Puliesan. After all, the army only has one voice, which is too disharmonious.
After Romania sent a message that the negotiation venue would be Bucharest, the Bulgarian side started discussions on this.
"Now do we agree to Romania's proposal as planned?"
After receiving the news, King Ferdinand I of Bulgaria summoned Prime Minister Gaishov and immediately asked for his opinion.
Faced with the king's inquiry, Prime Minister Gaishov thought for a moment and replied, "Your Majesty, I think you can agree to it."
The previous dispute between Bulgaria and Sechi was also initiated by Prime Minister Gaishov. Although he will step down after the negotiations are completed, Prime Minister Gaishov still loves his country. When he saw that Bulgaria was about to suffer huge losses,
, proposed this method. In fact, this method is very simple to drive a wedge between the Balkan countries.
First provoke a conflict to give a hint to Serbia and Greece that we, Bulgaria, will not be afraid of dealing with you alone, so we will set less conditions. At the same time, we will accept Romania's different treatment. Can you reduce our losses? In fact, the strategy is very simple.
It’s just a divorce tactic, but a simple tactic doesn’t mean it’s not easy to use. There are many very simple stratagems in history that can be successful. It’s not that they haven’t been noticed, and because doing so allows you to get more, some of the stratagems have been used repeatedly.
Take it out and use it.
As for the Ottomans, Prime Minister Gaishov knew that they wanted to take Adrianople, but this was something Bulgaria could not accept. In addition, the participating countries had only fought once with the Ottoman Empire, so this strategy had no effect on him.
In this era changed by Edel, due to Bulgaria's early performance, the Ottoman army's entry into the war was delayed a lot. As a result, Bulgaria surrendered too simply, and they were still some distance away from Adrianople. Therefore, it was impossible for Bulgaria to surrender.
out of this key city in Eastern Thrace.
After hearing the Prime Minister's reply, Ferdinand I replied. "Then send a message to Romania. We agreed to their proposal."
After finishing speaking, Ferdinand I walked up to Prime Minister Gaishov, took his hand and said with a hint of guilt, "The Prime Minister is really going to have to work hard this time."
Facing Ferdinand I's true feelings, Gaishov didn't say much and just replied, "For the motherland Bulgaria."
After speaking, Prime Minister Gaishov saluted the king and walked out of the palace.
Then the news spread that Bulgaria agreed to hold a negotiation meeting in Bucharest, the capital of Romania. Both Serbia and Greece were tired of arguing with Bulgaria about the location of the negotiations, and they were relieved after hearing the news. Among them, Serbian Prime Minister Protic even told people around him
Said. "I don't know what these Bulgarians are arguing with us. Those who don't know think they are the victorious country."
In fact, both countries understand that this is a sign of Bulgaria's dissatisfaction with the two countries, but the performance of the Serbian and Greek armies on the battlefield was indeed unsatisfactory. However, this was the result of Bulgaria's surprise attack first, but they did not agree with this.
Easy to say.
Then the two countries, Serbia and Greece, saw that Bulgaria had agreed to Romania's proposal. They did not want to get into trouble and agreed. As for Montenegro, needless to say. The Ottoman Empire was left alone to face this situation, although it was resentful about not capturing Adrianople.
Yes, but I also wanted to see if I could get Bulgaria to agree during the negotiations, and I also agreed to Romania's proposal.
Then there will still be the same few countries, but this time they will just change the location and start a new negotiation on the Balkan territories.
