Chapter 716: A brief peace in the Balkans

The Allied Powers and the Allied Powers entered the most frantic state of preparation for war in 1909. Both sides did not know when the war started, but they knew that if they were a little behind today, the price they would pay would be tomorrow's empire. In this case, neither the Allies nor the Allies hope that the Balkan war will disperse everyone's energies. Without the support of the sponsor, the Balkans finally ushered in the dawn of peace.

  Although the support of the Germans is relatively limited, the performance of the Turks is still very good, at least Bulgaria has almost no progress in the south. The territories gained by Greece and Serbia are still very limited compared to history, but what is surprising is that although Greece, Serbia and Bulgaria did not stand for the second time because of the uneven distribution of spoils this time, But in the middle and late stages of the war, Romania actually joined the war! The Romanians launched a violent attack on Bulgaria. It can even be said that for this reason, it directly led to the early end of the Balkan War!

"Fuck, what's the situation?" Ruprecht is a little confused about the situation. Romania is a small country. They dare to take action against the Balkan Alliance, which is backed by the Allies. It can be said to be brave, who gave it to them. courage?

  For this reason, Ruprecht also made a special call to the Kaiser, wanting to know where the Romanians have the courage to take action against the Balkans.

"Romania's actions were supported and acquiesced by the empire. As our important potential ally, especially when they are willing to help the Turks who are allies, the empire has no reason to oppose it." The German emperor's answer made Rupree Hit was quite surprised.

  The relationship turned out to be to help my relatives! The Romanian royal family and the German royal family are really of the same origin, and they are both different branches of the Hohenzollern family. Before the start of World War I, it was really inclined to Germany, but after World War I, because of the temptation of the Allied Powers and domestic problems, Romania decisively stood on the side of the Allied Powers and was beaten by Mackenson.

  Of course, the final result is still good. Romania has obtained a large amount of territory from Hungary, and the territory has more than doubled! Basically, the wish of Greater Romania has been realized, and Greece is similar to Romania. The princess of the Greek king is the younger sister of William II. This buddy originally intended to be neutral, but because the British and French landings in Greece destroyed the neutrality of Greece, so Was vaguely pulled into the Allied camp, but in the end, Greece also got a slice of the corpse of the Allied Powers in World War I, which was pretty good.

  The final result of this Balkan war is that although Serbia and Greece have gained some territory, they are still smaller than the two countries after the Balkans ended in history. Bulgaria belongs to the kind of people who steal chickens and lose their rice. After the fight, the territory gained can be equal to the lost territory.

In Ruprecht’s view, the Balkans did not make much money in this war on the whole. If the economic and national power consumption even outweighs the gains, Serbia and Greece have almost put their coffins on. Although some territories were acquired, the population pressure on the territories also followed. Under the huge external debt, the two countries were also responsible for the livelihood of the new population. In the next three years, that field will sweep across Europe. The war on the mainland is about to break out. At that time, how much combat power they can squeeze is still a question.

  Of course, Turkey is obviously at a loss this time, but what is better than in history is that Turkey has not been attacked by two fronts this time. Although it has lost its territory, the country has not suffered any damage. On the contrary, after the war ended, the idea of ​​Turkey on the side of Germany and Austria was strengthened. The Allied Powers have already told Turkey with practical actions that even if Turkey is now soft, the Allied Powers will still act on this sunset empire lying on the sick bed of Europe! Instead of this, it would be better to take a fight. In the following two years or so, the Turks’ military consolidation efficiency was indeed not low, and the prince even thought that it was better than the Austro-Hungarian Empire to some extent...

  "What do you think of the situation in the Balkans?" In October 1909, Xiao Moqi once again came to Munich. After discussing the business affairs, he asked Ruprecht about the situation in the Balkans.

"After this war, the political map of the Balkans has become clear. Serbia will firmly stand on the side of Russia, Greece will lean towards the Allied powers, Romania will be a speculator, and Bulgaria and Turkey will become our allies." Ruprecht said .

"As for the military? The Serbian military cannot be underestimated. I think that under the same scale, the Austro-Hungarian army can't beat the Serbs. Regardless of their army, they are no different from the beggars, but their combat effectiveness is still there. The Turks have made some progress. Under special circumstances, it can withstand the offensive of the Allied forces, but it is difficult to make a breakthrough. I have only two requirements for them. The first point is to defend the oil fields and transportation channels in the Mesopotamia. The second point is to do everything possible. To contain Britain and France."

"Why do you think Romania will betray the empire? Our relationship with Romania is very good~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and the royal families of both sides are of the same origin. Romania should be on our side." Xiao Maoqi asked with some confusion. .

"Because they want, we can't give it, and in the eyes of outsiders, our chances of winning are smaller. Don't forget that now there are three major powers against Germany and Austria. In the face of national interests, whether it is past relations or blood ties They can only stand aside," Ruprecht said.

  "This is something on the Eastern Front. The details should be of concern to you and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. I will not interfere too much. But I will inform the Kaiser of your opinion." Xiao Maoqi thought for a while and said.

"Okay, I will take care of it." Ruprecht nodded in satisfaction. He had already greeted Xiao Maoqi, and Xiao Maoqi said that he could handle it himself. To some extent, he represented the General Staff of Germany. The Ministry expressed its opinion. Well, if Romania has some "unfriendly" behavior, then Ruprecht is very willing to take the oil field within one month!

   "What is peace? It's just a short break between two wars!" Ruprecht thought this sentence was a very appropriate description of the era before the Second World War. The Sino-Japanese War, the Spanish-Japanese War, the Boer War, the War of North Africa, the Russo-Japanese War and the Balkan War. It's really one after another. In just a few years, a real world war is about to break out!
