章 117: Chapter 119

After the establishment of the Balkan League in July, all countries are actively preparing for war, preparing to attack the weak Ottoman Empire, and Italy is now fighting against him. Edel also temporarily put aside his domestic work and focused on the current situation in the Balkans, which surprised Prime Minister Bretianu, who has always lacked power in his hands.

The time came to September 24, 1912. On this day, Edel was discussing the war between Italy and the Ottoman Empire in the Crown Prince's own office with the Chief of Guard Carust.

"Now Italy has occupied Rhodes, Kos and the Dodecanese Islands, very close to the mainland of the Ottoman Empire. I believe these Ottomans will soon be unable to stand it."

Sitting in the back chair, Edel knew that the chief guard was talking about Italian naval operations.

Now the war against the Ottoman Empire, Italy has completely overspended, and the monthly cost of 800,000 liras has risen to one million, but these local Arabs have not been allowed to succumb. Now Italy has occupied the islands near the Ottoman Empire. Let this sick man of the Near East yield.

"Even if the Ottomans succumbed, the local Arabs in Libya will give them headaches." Edel said of Italy's burden in this war.

He is right, it is true in history. After the Italian-Turkish War, Italy's control of most of the territory remained ineffective in Libya until 1920. The punitive appeasement campaign launched by the Italian army under the command of General Pietro Badoglio and Rudolf Graziani was turned into a cruel and **** act. Let the Libyan resistance have been uninterrupted until September 15, 1931, when the rebel leader Omar Mukhtar was executed, and the resistance gradually disappeared.

Just as Edel and the Chief Guard were discussing the trend of the Italian-Turkish war, a guard came in to report. "Your Highness, Minister of Foreign Affairs Barnosk sees you."

"Invite him in." Edel told the guard.

"His Royal Highness, let me avoid it," the captain of the guard Carust asked Edel for instructions.

"Go ahead."

As Edel told him, the chief guard walked out of the crown prince's office after giving a gift.

Foreign Minister Barnoske has been relatively busy recently. At this time of tension, his job is to coordinate the relations between the Balkan countries. Although Romania now prefers the allies, it still has good relations with the Balkan countries, and he is more busy than usual. If you still come to find the crown prince at this time, then there must be something very important.

Sure enough, the foreign minister of Barnosk, after saluting the crown prince, told the important news that he had brought. "His Royal Highness, Bulgaria has sent a message that all countries have negotiated and are ready to issue an ultimatum to the Ottoman Empire on October 4, asking him to grant autonomy to Macedonia and Thrace."

After listening to Foreign Minister Barnoske's words, Edel picked up the pen on the table and began to play with it, thinking quickly about the impact on Romania. Foreign Minister Barnoske stood there quietly waiting for instructions from the crown prince. For a while in the office, only the clock on the wall can be heard ticking.

After thinking for a while, Edel put down the pen in his hand and said his decision. "I sent a telegram to Bulgaria and said that we will declare a state of war against the Ottoman Empire three days after they declare war."

After hearing the decision of the crown prince, Foreign Minister Barnosk leaned forward and replied. "Okay Your Highness. I will send a message to Bulgaria and tell us our decision."

After Barnoske finished speaking, he turned and wanted to leave. Edel seemed to suddenly remember something and call him.

"and many more"

Barnosk turned around and asked. "His Royal Highness is still something?"

Facing Barnosk's inquiry, Edel asked gloomily. "What is your Excellency the Prime Minister doing recently."

Facing the face of the crown prince, Barnoske cautiously and truthfully replied. "Prime Minister Bretianu recently promoted the construction of the hospital, and he had previously asked his ministers about the current situation in the Balkans."

Hearing Barnoske's answer, Edel replied. "Go down."

The foreign minister walked out cautiously, and walked outside the door Barnoske let out a long sigh, relaxed a lot. He knew the purpose of the crown prince's questioning, and he could only bury it in his heart.

In the office, Edel himself sighed. He felt the temptation of power in only a few years. Now he has become obsessed with this feeling. It seems that people are really selfish animals.

After sighing, Edel got up and prepared to visit his father, the 73-year-old King Carol I. Edel walked out of the office and walked along the corridor to his father Carol's residence. He saw the old father sitting by the window, watching his mother Queen Elizabeth and his wife Sophie Marie drinking afternoon tea in the garden, while the director Adrie stood Serve by his side. Edel stopped Adri's move to remind the king, and walked to his side and called out softly.

"father."

After hearing the crown prince's call, Carol I turned his head and asked. "Edel is you, what's the matter?"

The years left a deep mark on the Romanian ruler. In just a few years, King Carol went from being a still majestic ruler to an old man enjoying his old age, now Carol. The king was already wrinkled and gray.

Seeing his father's appearance, Edel still needs to pass his decision to him. "Father, the Balkan countries have decided to issue an ultimatum to the Ottoman Empire on October 4, demanding autonomy for Macedonia and Thrace. I have decided to declare war on the Ottoman Empire three days after declaring war in Bulgaria."

When he heard the decision made by his son, King Carol muttered. "Unexpectedly, the Ottoman Empire has declined to such a point. When we became independent in Romania, we still needed the help of the Russian army to achieve it. Now we have developed for so many years, the Ottoman still has not changed. The Thracian region is about to be divided up. I just don't know if these countries will fight again because of the land they have seized."

It seems that King Carol is weakened and his mind is still so flexible. At a glance, he can see the hidden dangers in the Balkan League.

"If they really fight because of uneven distribution, we Romania will have a chance." Edel also said his own thoughts.

After hearing his son's thoughts, the gray-haired King Carol felt that Edel now possesses the basic qualities of a king~www.mtlnovel.com~ He praised Edel with satisfaction. "Your idea is very good, I am a little interested now and want to hear your thoughts."

Hearing that his father wanted to hear, Edel spoke out his thoughts. "Father, I think so..."

Seeing that the crown prince and the king were talking about private matters, Chief Adrian walked out quietly, closed the door and waited outside so that no one would disturb the king, father and son.

After Bulgaria received the Romanian telegram, it began to mobilize its troops to the border with the Ottoman Empire, and other Balkan allies were doing the same.

When the time came on October 4, 1912, Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Greece and Montenegro jointly issued a note to the Osmen Empire, asking Ottoman to grant autonomy to Macedonia and Thrace. Although he was still in the war with Italy, the national atmosphere and strength of the Ottoman Empire made him categorically rejected the demands of the Balkan Alliance. After rejecting the five-nation ultimatum, Ottoman was busy in peace talks with Italy while gathering troops to prepare to fight the Balkan Alliance.

Faced with Ottoman's rejection, Montenegro, the country that is most hostile to Ottomans, took the lead in kicking off the war. Montenegro declared war on the Ottomans on October 8, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Greece jointly declared war on the Ottoman Empire on October 17, and Romania also declared war on it on October 21. So far the war between the Balkan countries and the Ottoman Empire has officially begun.
