Chapter 132: Chapter 134
There was a roar inside the Bulgarian palace. "What do these Russians think of us Bulgaria."
After receiving the telegram from Russia, Geishov, the Bulgarian minister, knew that it was not good. He quickly took the telegram and found King Ferdinand I. The Bulgarian king was completely angered by Russia's actions, and then there was the roar of Ferdinand I.
Seeing his king's anger, Geschoff calmed down. "Your Majesty, our top priority now is to find support from other countries."
After hearing the words of the Xiang, Ferdinand I slowly calmed down. Rage cannot solve the problem. The Bitola and Ohrid regions of Macedonia, which are now occupied by Serbia and Greece, and the Salonika region of Thrace, cannot be resolved by rage. Now it needs the support of other big powers to get Bulgaria back the territory it deserves. Then there are very few options to contend with Russia. Fortunately, the country where he came from is also able to contend with Russia one or two times.
Thinking of this, Ferdinand I asked about his face. "Geschoff, do you think we can get support from Austria-Hungary and Germany?"
Hearing that his king was going to seek the support of the Allies, Geschoff thought about it. In terms of national strength, the support of Austria-Hungary and Germany can help Bulgaria. And there was a very good time in Bulgaria, but then Russia's wooing made Bulgaria fall to Russia. Now Russia can't guarantee Bulgaria's interests, so we can only seek Austria-Hungary, which had good relations in the past.
Thinking of this, Geschoff said to Ferdinand I. "Your Majesty's method is still feasible. We can test the attitudes of Austria-Hungary and Germany through the ambassador."
After the two discussed, Geschoff called separately. German ambassador to Bulgaria Berist and Austro-Hungarian ambassador to Bulgaria Sindrako expressed to the two of the measures that Bulgaria hopes to be supported by the two countries.
The German government attached great importance to it after receiving the telegram from the ambassador Bolister, and was overjoyed when it came to Bulgaria, which was most capable of fighting in the Balkan War. This is also related to the fact that there are too few allies in the Allies. Until now, only Germany, Italy, and Austria-Hungary form the alliance. Other small countries are either neutral or fall to the Allies. Romania, the only country close to the Allies, is as slippery as a loach, so it attaches great importance to Bulgaria.
Kaiser Wilhelm II personally ordered Helveg to send a telegram to Bulgaria, expressing his willingness to support Bulgaria in the territorial dispute of the Balkan Alliance, and he was also willing to assist Bulgaria with arms worth 50,000 marks.
The Austro-Hungarian Empire paid more attention to it than Germany. For this reason, the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph also convened his ministers to discuss how to deal with Bulgaria's goodwill.
They have reason to do this. As Serbia acquired a large number of territories in the Balkan War, the territory of this small country has nearly doubled. The original population of only 30,000 has also increased to 450,000. Facing such a situation, Austria-Hungary certainly wanted to find an ally to share the burden. They first looked for Romania, and their marriage with Romania also had this level of consideration. However, the border between Romania and Serbia is too short, and there is no dispute with Seville. In addition, Romania has been a bit neutral in the past two years, so there is no way to guide the contradiction between Romania and Serbia.
Now why the Bulgarian telegram does not make the Austrian-Hungarian Empire extremely happy, and they still have a long border with Seville, and the Bulgarian army has also proven itself in this war, so Bulgaria is an excellent choice.
"Your Majesty, I think it is necessary to give Bulgaria the most needed diplomatic support." The Minister of Foreign Affairs Erenthal, who had made outstanding contributions to the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, took the lead in expressing his opinions.
After seeing that no one was right, he continued. "When giving diplomatic support to Bulgaria, we should also create tension in the border area of Seville, so that Bulgaria can see our determination to help."
Hearing the advice of the Foreign Secretary Elenthal, Emperor Franz Joseph also nodded in agreement. After hearing the need for military support, Otto Sanders, Chief of Staff of the Austro-Hungarian 6th Army, knew that he had to stand up and say a few words, and the Austro-Hungarian army also made a big plan because of the current situation.
"Your Majesty, our Austro-Hungarian army is absolutely capable of cooperating with Bulgaria to create tension on the border, but if we can cooperate with the Bulgarian army to attack Serbia, the troublemaker will be a better choice."
After hearing the words of Chief of Staff Sanders, the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph was obviously more interested and quickly asked. "Does your army have any plans?"
Chief of Staff Sanders said to his emperor. "Our General Staff Department has already made relevant plans."
"tell me the story."
General Sanders asked to bring a map to tell the emperor. "We plan to take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Serbian army is squatting with Bulgaria in Macedonia, and mobilize a total of 30,000 armies of the Second, Fourth, and Fifth Army of the Imperial Army from Bosnia and Herzegovina to the Serbian capital of Belgrade. Ten thousand troops are completely vulnerable. And once we occupy the capital, more than two hundred thousand Serbian troops in Macedonia will collapse without a fight, thus resolving the Bulgarian problem. And we can also allow them to occupy new Serbian territories, We only need the original territory of Serbia."
Hearing the explanation from Chief of Staff Sanders, Foreign Secretary Elenthal had a question. "We have forgotten the Russian reaction. They can't watch Serbia being attacked by us and just ignore it."
Faced with questions from the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, General Sanders talked about his plan. "I am going to deploy the First, Third, Sixth, and Seventh Army at the border to resist Russian attacks."
Hearing the words of Chief of Staff Sanders, Sang Alois thought this was too risky. "Your Majesty, this plan is too dangerous for our Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is undesirable~www.mtlnovel.com~ Now Russia can abandon the traditional ally of Bulgaria for Serbia. If we make a move to attack Serbia, I believe that Russia will declare war on us as soon as possible. The price is too great for us to bear."
Faced with strong opposition from Alois, Emperor Franz Joseph flinched a bit from the plan of Chief of Staff Sanders.
"Let's put aside the discussion on this matter, and bring our support to Bulgaria first. It is still possible to create tension on the border."
Facing the emperor's instructions, the Austrian-Hungarian ministers could only do so. Soon Austria-Hungary and Germany sent telegrams to Bulgaria to support their territory. Germany provided diplomatic and military material assistance, and Austria-Hungary was willing to create tension on the Serbian border to ease Bulgaria's pressure.
This made Bulgarian people overjoyed and made up their minds not to make concessions. For a time, the original Balkan alliance quickly split.
