章節 160: Chapter 163
The Bulgarian King Ferdinand I, who had been following the negotiation process, immediately summoned Lieutenant General Savov, the Secretary of the Army, after receiving a telegram detailed by Prime Minister Geschov.
He showed the telegram sent by Prime Minister Geschoff to Lieutenant General Savov to watch. After reading the conditions put forward by the countries, the Secretary of the Army knew the purpose of King Ferdinand I for calling himself.
After seeing Lieutenant General Savov finished watching, Ferdinand I asked. "What do you think about the conditions of various countries?"
After thinking for a while, Lieutenant General Savov spoke word by word. "Your Majesty, I think there is room for negotiation on the conditions of each country. We can..."
Hearing Lieutenant General Savov's explanation, Ferdinand I waved his hand to stop the Secretary of the Army from continuing.
"We do not agree to Romania's terms, and the peace talks will not go on. This time I am looking for you mainly to ask what the military thinks about this."
Hearing the words of King Ferdinand I, Lieutenant General Savov knew what he wanted to ask. However, the Bulgarian army really couldn't beat Romania, and in the prime minister's telegram, Austria-Hungary and Germany also did not support Bulgaria on this issue. This leaves Lieutenant General Savov who actually controls the Bulgarian army nothing to say.
Seeing the silent Lieutenant General Savov, Ferdinand I knew what the army thought. They wanted to pretend not to know, but Ferdinand I also wanted to pretend not to know but he couldn't do it.
Looking at Lieutenant General Savov standing awkwardly, Ferdinand I waved and said. "Then it's okay, let's go on."
After receiving a reply from Lieutenant General Savov on behalf of the Bulgarian military, Ferdinand I sent a telegram to Prime Minister Geschov in the evening. Just one sentence above, this negotiation is the sole responsibility of Prime Minister Geschoff.
The prime minister who received the telegram knew that this was what Ferdinand I meant to agree to, but it was a good euphemism.
Looking at the telegram sent from the country in his hand, Prime Minister Geschov spoke to Foreign Minister Tirasnoch. "This time he will let me talk about it alone!"
Upon hearing Prime Minister Geschoff's words, Foreign Minister Tirasnochi said with a wry smile. "Your Excellency, do you think I can stay in politics after this negotiation?"
Prime Minister Geschoff thinks that this is indeed the case. This time he deliberately selected some people who are not optimistic about the delegation, and he did not bring any new political stars he is optimistic about, just to not delay the future of others. Their purpose this time is very clear, which is to sign a humiliating peace treaty for Bulgaria. Prime Minister Geschov just hopes to reduce the loss of Bulgaria a little, and he can't even think about negotiating countries to retreat.
After receiving the domestic telegram, Prime Minister Geschov did not directly sign the Romanian terms proposed by Prime Minister Bretianu either. And repeatedly digging words with the Romanian prime minister, hoping to reduce losses for Bulgaria. But now Prime Minister Bretianu, who has a huge advantage, stays still, and insists on Romania's conditions, leaving this Prime Minister Geschoff with no choice. In the end, he fully agreed to Romania's terms after five days, but he was not without gain.
In his persevering negotiations, he won for Bulgaria in the territory of Romania ceded, the local people can choose whether to go to Bulgaria or stay there. The Romanian government will pay 20 million levs of humanitarian funds to Bulgaria for these people to migrate. However, Bulgaria will also open the Romanian nationality in the country to allow them to migrate to Romania. For this, Romania will also provide 5 million levs of aid funds for Bulgaria to provide convenience.
The management is based on the name of the aid funds. In fact, everyone knows that this is the compensation given by Romania to make Bulgaria agree to this condition, just for the good reputation and not to embarrass the Bulgarian government.
After talking about Romania's terms, other countries can talk a lot, especially Montenegro. After a price increase, Prime Minister Geschov asked Montenegrin's negotiators to agree, and Bulgaria compensated its 00 Lev in compensation.
Then in the negotiations in Serbia, Prime Minister Geschov and his foreign minister Milanovic fought fiercely for conditions that were far different between the two sides.
For this reason, it also led to the powers that each supported each other. In the end, the negotiation turned into a confrontation between the Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister Elenthal and the Russian Foreign Minister Sassonov. Russia has a stronger national power than Austria-Hungary, but Austria-Hungary will not give in after receiving support from Germany. In addition, the performance of the Serbian army this time was not as good as that of Bulgaria, and in the end they all took a step back. Serbia is no longer pursuing the preservation of other territories of Macedonia, and Bulgaria will no longer claim sovereignty over Bitola and Ohrid. This is a good result for Bulgaria now.
Then in the negotiations with Greece, the British were unwilling to go too deep on the Balkan issue. In the words of British Prime Minister Asquith. "Instead of investing more energy in the Balkans, we might as well spend more time looking at the German shipbuilding plan."
Therefore, Greece did not get much support in the Bucharest negotiations, and Russia, after ensuring the interests of the son of Serbia, only verbally supported Greece, the British brother, and France, not to mention, in the Balkans. not interested. Therefore, Greece finally faces, Bulgaria, with the support of Austria-Hungary and Germany, can only accept the terms of Prime Minister Geschov. The southern part of Thessaloniki area was obtained, and the city of Thessaloniki was finally allocated to Bulgaria.
Moreover, Bulgaria has also been compensated for its concession by the islands of Thasos and Samo, which are close to its new territories. For this reason, the Greek negotiator, Foreign Minister Constantine, can only bear with this fact. Who made the Greek army behave so badly before.
In the final negotiations with the Ottoman Empire, Prime Minister Geschov had a round of confrontation with the Minister of Foreign Affairs Ildire. However, under the cooperation of Austria-Hungary and Germany, the two countries regard their actual occupation of territory as the standard, which in fact makes both Bulgaria and Ottoman not very satisfied. However, after seeing that Bulgaria and other countries have reached peace negotiations, Ottoman Foreign Minister Ildire can only sign this treaty after asking for instructions from the country.
In order to make the Ottoman Empire give up its unrealistic ideas, Germany promised to aid a batch of its arms. After evaluating the performance of Bulgaria in the two wars, the Ottoman military thought that it was facing the Bulgarian army alone and wanted to take Adri. Yabao is a bit impractical. So in the end, under the round field of Austria-Hungary and Germany, they agreed to this condition.
The countries that participated in the Second Balkan War finally signed the Bucharest Treaty on the day of the month.
In this treaty, Romania became the biggest winner. With his prophetic foresight and the powerful combat effectiveness of the Romanian army, Crown Prince Edel had to swallow the fact that Bulgaria had lost its 22,000 territories.
While Serbia did not perform well in this war, but because of the support of Russia, it still took the Bitola and Ohrid regions. Greece is more tragic. In the absence of strong support from the major powers, coupled with the fact that its own army is not strong on the battlefield, it only grabs a small half of Thessaloniki area~www.mtlnovel.com~ and compensates Thasos. The two islands of Island and Samo have suffered a dark loss.
In the end, Ottoman took back the Tekidar region of East Thrace, while the Adriatic Fort, which was crucial to it, was still in Bulgaria's hands.
As for Bulgaria, the defeated country, despite the loss of the above territories, it is still much better than the original time and space. He at least saved most of the results of its first Balkan War, mainly Macedonia and most of Thrace. Its population also soared from 4.45 million before the Balkan War to 500,000, mainly because of the 26 people in the new territory, but 50,000 Bulgarians live in the territory ceded to Romania. It is believed that the Bulgarian government's propaganda can attract about 200,000 Bulgarians to return. In the original history, Bulgaria only increased its population by 20,000 after the two Balkan wars.
As for Serbia, its population increased from three million before the two Balkan Wars to 4.2 million, which is a decrease of 300,000 compared to 4.5 million in the original history. The main reason is that it did not get Strumica from Bulgaria, which is part of Macedonia. And Karadarchi region. Greece has also increased its population from 220,000 to about 4 million, which is half a million less than 450 in the original history. It mainly failed to get the entire Salonika region and western Thrace from Bulgaria. I also lost two small islands.
The biggest loser in these two wars is the Ottoman Empire, whose European territory is only around Istanbul. Losing most of its European territory also reduced its population of approximately 4.6 million.
