After the bourgeois revolution triggered by the Young Turkish Party, the tension between the independence of Bulgaria as a kingdom and the announcement of the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by Austria-Hungary aroused discussion among the senior government.
After the bourgeois revolution, Sultan Abdul Hamid II, who has little real power, also attended this meeting concerning the fate of the Ottoman Empire at this moment of crisis. As the nominal leader, he first asked the government officials below. "What should we do now?"
Facing Sudan's questions, as the foreign minister, Mohammed Rifat Pasha can only express his own views in the face of the crisis. "His Royal Highness the Sultan, regarding Bosnia-Herzegovina, we should discuss with Austria-Hungary and strive for compensation. After all, Austria-Hungary has been escrow for 30 years, and everyone knows what Austria-Hungary has. Questions."
The Minister of Foreign Affairs continued after talking about the response of Bosnia and Herzegovina. "For Bulgaria's independence as a kingdom, I think it is necessary to mobilize the army to the front line of Bulgaria. We have to express our disapproval of Bulgaria's independence to the outside world. The follow-up approach must first look at the attitudes of European countries."
I have been Minister of Foreign Affairs for 9 years. Muhammad Rifat Pasha's diplomatic methods are still a little standard. At the same time, he understands Sudan's mind well, but as an old fried dough stick, he certainly won't break it.
After seeing the brilliant methods of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Secretary of War El Pasha also expressed his views. "I very much agree with the foreign minister's suggestion. The military's attitude is that we can only guarantee the use of our power in one direction. Bulgaria is too close to our capital, and it only takes a week to reach us on the march. This is too dangerous. We cannot allow Bulgaria to become independent so easily, and it will make the Balkan countries more strongly think about our Albania, Thrace, and Macedonia regions, which will increase the pressure on our military to guard these places."
After the new Secretary of War El Pasha gave a speech, Finance Minister Camille Pasha expressed his dissatisfaction. "Are we waiting for the ruling of European countries like this? Everyone knows that Bulgaria is behind the Russians. Now Russia, France, and Britain are almost wearing a pair of pants. Can we just wait?"
Everyone knows the thoughts of Camille Pasha. If you fight against Bulgaria, then the Macedonian Army of the Young Turkish Party will bear the brunt of the battle.
Talat Pasha, the leader of the Young Turkey Party, retorted the plan of the Minister of Finance. "Can't the Minister of Finance see the current situation? We are not afraid of Bulgaria, but who will resist Russia behind the scenes, honorable Minister of Finance?"
Facing Talat Pasha's question, Finance Minister Camille Pasha said with confidence. "Isn't it the responsibility of your army to resist foreign invasion."
"We gave advice, but you ignored it."
Seeing the quarrel between the two, as the "freedom hero" of this revolution, Enver Pasha knew it was time to stand up. "His Royal Highness Sultan, I voluntarily go to the Bulgarian border to guard the territory. If a war breaks out, I will be the first to rush to the battlefield, and our Young Turkish Party will drain the last drop of blood for the country."
In the face of Enver Pasha's impassionedness, Sultan Abdul Hamid II knew this star who had greatly reduced his power. As a monarch who has been in power for decades, there are still basic cities. "I am very pleased that there are heroes like Enver Pasha in the country. We can all feel your patriotic enthusiasm and I believe it will satisfy your wishes."
Enver Pasha listened to what the Sultan said to him, and he had a plan in his heart. Going to the Bulgarian border allows the people to see their patriotic enthusiasm. The current title of "freedom hero" cannot satisfy oneself. Only by gaining greater rights can you satisfy yourself.
After discussions in Turkey, while discussing with Austria-Hungary about the compensation for the transfer of Bosnia and Herzegovina. While also mobilizing troops to go to the Bulgarian border, Bulgaria is not to be outdone to take the same steps. Soon this situation led to the mediation of Russia behind Bulgaria.
In St. Petersburg, Nicholas II was prepared for the current situation. "We want to support Bulgaria and bring them to us."
The message was sent across the Black Sea to the Turkish-Russian Embassy. After receiving the czar's instructions, Ambassador Midnovich took a car to the Ottoman Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I met the Minister of Foreign Affairs Muhammad Rifat Pasha.
"Your Excellency, we are very concerned about the tensions in your country and Bulgaria. It is of no benefit to anyone." Ambassador Midnovich walked into the Foreign Minister's Office and spoke to Foreign Minister Mohamed Rifat Pasha. attitude.
"Bulgaria's unilateral announcement of this news is disrespectful to the Ottoman Empire. It is also a violation of the "Berlin Treaty". We have reason to make a strong counterattack against Bulgaria." Foreign Minister Mohamed Rifat Pasha said forcefully.
Hearing the tough tone of the Osman Foreign Minister, Ambassador Midnovich replied. "Regarding Bulgaria's complete independence, this is also a manifestation of the will of the Bulgarian people. We can't stop the opinion of the people. Regarding the failure to negotiate with the Ottoman Empire, this is indeed because they did not do well. I will tell Bulgaria the foreign minister's dissatisfaction and believe that they will send People apologize."
In the face of the Russians' naked and partial Bulgarian posture, Foreign Minister Mohamed Rifat Pasha had no good way. After leaving the Russians away, I found the British ambassador for help.
When the British ambassador Hilk was invited to attend the dinner of Foreign Minister Mohammed Rifat Pasha that day, after dinner, the foreign minister informed the British ambassador of Turkey's plight, hoping to get help.
British ambassador Hilke said slowly to the foreign minister sitting on the sofa. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com "Your Excellency the Foreign Minister is really worried about the current situation. Bulgaria did not do the right thing. I will send the news back to China, and I believe the British government will lend a helping hand to the Ottoman Empire."
After the news came back to Downing Street, Prime Minister Asquis told Foreign Secretary Edward Gray after seeing Osman's request. "Let the ambassador to Ottoman negotiate with the Russians and ask them to give Ottoman some compensation. The current situation in the Balkans is really annoying.
Foreign Secretary Edward Gray nodded in approval of the Prime Minister's words. "These Ottomans are accustomed to being bullied by the Russians. Whenever something involves Russia, they will make a fuss. Now it is Germany that is really worrying." "Do they have any new ships?"
London's reply made Ambassador Silk find the Russians, after some friendly exchanges. In the end, Russia agreed to exempt the Turkish indemnity of the 1878 war. In exchange, Ottoman Turkey also waived its demand for Bulgaria indemnity and recognized Bulgaria's independence.
Looking at this condition, Foreign Minister Mohammed Rifat Pasha was silent, while the two ambassadors of Britain and Russia sat opposite the foreign ministers and waited for a reply. "Is there no room for modification?" the Foreign Minister asked unwillingly. "I believe this is the greatest effort of the British Empire." British ambassador Hilke said, after speaking, he glanced at Russian ambassador Midnovich. "This is also Russia's biggest concession."
Ottoman Turkey finally agreed to this condition. Negotiations with Austria-Hungary also came to fruition, surrendering the nominal suzerainty of Bosnia and Herzegovina at a price of 2.5 million pounds. So far, Ottoman Turkey's response to Austria-Hungary and Bulgaria's violation of the "Berlin Treaty" has been completely dominated by European powers.
This made the Balkan countries see the weakness of Turkey, and it was almost impossible to suppress his European ambitions.
When European powers were all concerned about the Bosnian crisis, and the independence of Bulgaria triggered tensions between him and Ottoman Turkey. Edel is also paying attention to the development of the situation, but Romania is weak and does not have much influence on the situation. Therefore, His Royal Highness can only continue to work hard and develop Romania's national strength to lay a solid foundation for the next World War.
The Ploiesti oil field, which has now gone through three years, is finally fully completed. Now Edel is under the leadership of Standard Oil representative Smith and Mayor Karaturi to visit the completed refinery area.
Looking at the towering factory building, Edel said to the glowing red Smith on his left. "Recalling when I first came three years ago, it was still a vacant lot. You were scolding the workers for their work, and it felt like yesterday."
Faced with the praise from His Royal Highness, Smith said sternly. "All of this depends on the help of Mayor Latour, especially the shortage of manpower last winter, which seriously affected the progress of the process. It is Mr. Mayor who helped us to gather manpower to ensure that we can complete the work on time."
Smith is also a transparent person, knowing that the factory has a close relationship with the local officials can survive better.
About the shortage of manpower last winter. This is because a group of local rogues often harass the construction of the factory, and they also make small actions. According to the law, the police cannot catch them because of insufficient evidence. Smith didn't want to disturb the crown prince because of this little thing, so he gave a little money and sent it away.
Who knew that last winter, these gangsters were full of confidence, and suddenly the lion opened his mouth and wanted to make a fortune. After being rejected by Smith, he ran to the workers' house and threatened them not to go to work. Smith approached the Mayor of Latour for help. The mayor ordered all the rogues to be arrested on the grounds of threatening the lives of others and sentenced to five years of hard labor. They also contributed to the completion of this refinery.
Edel also knows about this. There are so many unintelligent people everywhere, and they only need to be educated. I believe that these people will become smarter if they can survive hard labor.
Edel stood in the middle of the refinery, looked at the surrounding factories and said. "This is where the charm of industry lies. Only industry can grow Romania."
"His Royal Highness is very correct. Only by relying on industry can our people become prosperous." The mayor of Karaturi took the lead in supporting the crown prince. Karaturi's words were like a starting gun, and everyone said afterwards. "Yes" "Yes, if you want to build a country, you need industry." "Your Highness's words are very reasonable."
This makes Edel a little helpless, but a sigh of his own can also attract a while. However, the crown prince knew that this kind of thing was inevitable over time. After three years of understanding, officials now gradually understand the habits of the crown prince, knowing that Edel is committed to growing industry, and he also values his subordinates with ability.
But the habits of officials will not change with the addition of Edel, and the current flattery is also harmless. As long as you are sober, there is no problem. Edel ignored these officials and asked Smith next to him. "I heard that Mr. Smith will be transferred back to the US headquarters."
"Yes, my lord, I only found out yesterday."
"Mr. Smith actually you are back to the United States as a department manager, you can jump out and become the general manager of an oil company." Edel sent an invitation to Smith, and Smith was very surprised. He was a little at a loss for the two good news that came suddenly.
"His Royal Highness's news is too sudden for me, I have a hard time choosing." Smith squashed his sermon to Crown Prince Edel.
Edel looked at Smith who was a little embarrassed and said. "Mr. Smith, you sometimes think about what you would do if I were a company executive. You must know that it will take at least 10 years for you to be at the decision-making level at Standard Oil. And there is a lot of corporate resistance that will let you take It takes a lot of time to clean up. The new company does not have this problem and can operate completely according to its own understanding."
Facing the tempting topic of the crown prince, Smith still can't let go. "His Royal Highness can let me think about it?" Edel knew it was almost the case, but it would be useless if wise people said too much.
"Well, I'll wait for your news."
"I won't let your Highness wait long."
Edel is so anxious to find the president of the oil company, mainly because the previous president's ability is too poor. Edel has been a headache because of the smog in the Romanian oil company, various office politics, and bloated staff.
I wanted to find one outside, and Smith, the representative of Standard Oil in Romania, entered the crown prince's sight. To understand the operation of oil companies and to know the problems of Romanian oil companies, the most important thing is very capable. I wanted to look at Smith, who made him do a good job, and Standard Oil wanted to transfer him back to headquarters. Let Edel only give the invitation in advance to tell Smith, who is the most suitable Romanian oil company now. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
The sky was dim and Smith returned to his residence. This was a small two-story building climbed by vines. Smith lived on the second floor. There are only simple furniture in the room, and a large bookshelf is placed on the side of the wall with neatly arranged books. Standing on the edge of the bookshelf, you can see the rough edges of these book corners. Obviously, the owner often flips through them.
Smith was walking back and forth on the edge of the bookshelf, thinking about what Edel said today, comparing the superiority of the two jobs. 'Back to Standard Oil, you can work hard and make progress in the largest oil company and have the opportunity to take charge of this trust enterprise. In Romanian oil, you can do it right now, and you can control the power of the world. '
One side is the present and the other side is the future. Smith didn't know the choice, he stopped slowly, as if he had made a decision. Smith took out a two-lei coin. "The front is going back to the United States, and the back is staying in Romania. Let God arrange it all."
Smith threw out the coin in his hand, and the coin tumbled in mid-air and fell onto the soft carpet. The Romanian text on the back caught Smith's sight. Smith thought in his heart, God wants me to stay.
Early the next morning, Smith, in a neat formal suit, came to the Crown Prince's residence and spoke to the guard at the door. "Please inform your Royal Highness Smith to visit." "Please wait a moment." Edel, who received the report from the guard, is discussing the latest news of Bosnia with the chief guard.
"Take him to the living room and I'll get down right away." The guard led Smith to the living room. Edel tidied up his clothes, walked down the stairs slowly, and watched Smith smile. "Mr. Smith, did you bring good news?" Smith took off his hat and leaned over to salute and preached. "His Royal Highness, your recognition of my abilities, I am deeply moved. It is a lifetime honor for me to be the president of the Romanian Petroleum Company"
