Chapter 155： Bucharest negotiations (1)

After the armistice of all countries, negotiations on the benefits of each country from Bulgaria need to be carried out, but the location of the negotiations has now become the focus of the victorious countries.

Among them, the two countries hope that this negotiation will still be held in London. One is that the strength of the British Empire is now the largest, and the other is that they can get the support of the Allies. However, the Bulgarian side had long seen through their intentions and declared that they were unwilling to go to London for negotiations and put forward the idea of ​​negotiating in Berlin, Germany, but it was rejected by the two countries. Now the two parties on the venue of the negotiation will propose Vienna at one time and Paris at the other meeting that they are both earning money.

The reason why they compete so fiercely is inseparable from their performance in the war. In the view of the two countries, we are victorious and should listen to us. Bulgaria, on the other hand, believed that these two countries were defeated by their opponents, and that they were defeated by Romania. Therefore, facing the proposal of the two countries, Bulgaria felt uneasy and naturally opposed the proposal. As for Montenegro, he is very self-aware, knows his own weight, and did not participate in this topic.

After Edel returned to Bucharest with General Plesan, he learned from the Foreign Minister Barnosk in the palace that the countries were still arguing about the location of the negotiation. He frowned and asked after thinking about it. "We haven't commented yet?"

"Not yet. But the Prime Minister and I have received visits from many ambassadors. I hope 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 supports whom, he doesn't need to tell the crown prince. After all, he only needs to pay attention to the current situation to know the opinions of these ambassadors.

"That's good."

After Edel replied, he continued talking about Foreign Minister Barnoske. "You send a message to both sides, saying that we think other locations are too far away, which is not conducive to communication with each other, so we will negotiate in Romania."

"His Royal Highness meant to negotiate with us in Bucharest?" Foreign Minister Barnoske confirmed again.

"Yes it is."

Facing the foreign minister's reconfirmation, Edel categorically stated his thoughts.

After receiving a very serious answer from the Crown Prince, Foreign Minister Barnosk said quickly. "Okay Your Highness, I'll do it now."

After sending off Foreign Minister Barnosk, Edel walked out of the office. On the way back before, Lieutenant General Prieshan also wanted to understand his problem, and specifically told Edel that they were too impatient. Faced with Puleshan’s apology, of course, His Royal Highness graciously stated that there was nothing wrong with this time, and encouraged him a few words, and said that after Admiral Courtois retires, let him be the Secretary of the Army.

In fact, Edel knew that it was Puleshan and the group of people who had been going smoothly in the past few years. It was a bit too much. The beat this time was very effective for them to wake up. However, Edel still has to consider finding an opponent for Puleshan after Admiral Courtois retires. After all, the army has only one voice, which is too dissonant.

After Romania sent the message that the place of negotiation will be in Bucharest, Bulgaria discussed this.

"Are we now agreeing to Romania's proposal as planned?"

After receiving the news, King Ferdinand I of Bulgaria summoned Prime Minister Geschov and couldn’t wait to ask him for his opinion in the first place.

Facing the king’s question, Prime Minister Geschoff replied after thinking about it. "Your Majesty, I think I can agree to it."

The previous dispute between Bulgaria and Sehi was also proposed by Prime Minister Geschov. Although he will step down after the negotiation is completed, Prime Minister Geschov still loves his country. When he saw that Bulgaria was about to suffer huge losses, he proposed this approach. In fact, this method is very simple to separate the relations between the Balkan countries.

First provoke a contradiction and give the two countries a hint that we Bulgaria will deal with you alone and will not be afraid, so the conditions should be less open. At the same time, we will treat Romania differently and show that I accept it and can reduce our loss a little. In fact, a simple strategy is a divisive strategy, but a simple strategy does not mean that it is not easy to use. There are many simple strategies in history that have succeeded. It is not that they have not been seen, and because doing so allows you to take more, so Some tactics have been repeatedly used.

As for the Ottoman side, Prime Minister Geschov knew that they wanted to take Adriatic Fort, but this was impossible for Bulgaria to accept. In addition, the participating countries had only fought against the Ottoman Empire, so this strategy had no effect on him.

In this era changed by Edel, Bulgaria’s early vigorous performance delayed the Ottoman army's participation in the war a lot. As a result, Bulgaria’s surrender was too simple, and they were still some distance away from Adriatic Fort. Therefore, it is impossible for Bulgaria to give up this key city in Eastern Thrace After hearing the prime minister's reply, Ferdinand I replied. "Then send a report to Romania, and we agreed to their proposal."

After speaking, Ferdinand I walked up to Prime Minister Geschoff, took his hand and spoke with guilt. "This time I really have to work hard for the Prime Minister."

In the face of Ferdinand I’s true feelings, Geschoff didn’t say much but just replied. "For the motherland of Bulgaria."

After speaking, Prime Minister Geschoff walked out of the palace after saluting the king.

Then the news spread that Bulgaria agreed to hold a negotiation meeting in Bucharest, the capital of Romania. Both Sehi and Bulgaria were tired of tearing up the venue for negotiations with Bulgaria, and both felt relieved after hearing the news. Among them, Serbian Prime Minister Protic even talked to people around him. "I don't know what exactly these Bulgarians are arguing with us. I don't know what they think is the victorious country."

In fact, both countries understand that this is a performance of Bulgaria’s dissatisfaction with the two countries, but the performance of the Seich armies on the battlefield is indeed not satisfactory. However, this is the result of the Bulgarian raid first, but it is not easy for them to say this.

Then the two countries saw that Bulgaria had agreed to Romania’s proposal. They didn’t want to be extraordinarily involved and agreed. As for Montenegro, it goes without saying. There is only one Ottoman Empire left to face this situation. Although it is grieved that it has not taken the Adria Fort, it also wants to try in the negotiations to see if Bulgaria can agree to the Romanian proposal.

After that, there were still so many countries, but this time it was just a change of place and a new negotiation on the Balkan territories would begin.
