King Ferdinand I of Bulgaria, who had been following the negotiation process closely, immediately summoned the Minister of War, Lieutenant General Savov, after receiving a telegram from Prime Minister Gaischov in detail.

He showed the telegram sent by Prime Minister Gaischov to Lieutenant General Savof, and the Minister of War, after reading the conditions put forward by the countries, knew the purpose of King Ferdinand I calling him.

After seeing Lieutenant General Savov finish reading, Ferdinand I asked. "What do you think about the conditions of each country?"

Lieutenant General Savouf pondered for a while, and then spoke word for word. "Your Majesty, I think that the conditions of each country are negotiable. We can ......."

Hearing Lieutenant General Savov's explanation, Ferdinand I waved his hand to stop the War Minister from continuing.

"If we do not agree to Romania's conditions, this peace talks will not be able to proceed. The main reason for looking at you this time is to ask what the military thinks about this. ”

Hearing the words of King Ferdinand I, Lieutenant General Savouf knew what to ask. However, the Bulgarian army really could not defeat Romania, and in the Prime Minister's telegram, Austria-Hungary and Germany also did not support Bulgaria on this issue, so that Lieutenant General Savov, who was actually in charge of the Bulgarian army, had nothing to say.

Seeing the silent Lieutenant General Savov, Ferdinand I knew what the army was thinking. They wanted to pretend they didn't know, but Ferdinand I wanted to pretend they didn't know but he couldn't.

Looking at Lieutenant General Savov, who was standing there in embarrassment, Ferdinand I waved his hand. "Then it's okay, let's go down."

Ferdinand I, having received an answer from Lieutenant General Savov on behalf of the Bulgarian military, sent a telegram to Prime Minister Gaisov in the evening of the same day. In one sentence, Prime Minister Geishov is solely responsible for this negotiation.

The Prime Minister, who received the telegram, knew that this was what Ferdinand I had agreed to him, but for the sake of a nice euphemism.

Looking at the telegram in his hand, Prime Minister Gaishov spoke to Foreign Minister Dilas Noch. "Let me talk alone this time when he negotiates!"

Hearing Prime Minister Gaisov's words, Foreign Minister Dilas Noch said with a wry smile. "Your Excellency, do you think I will be able to stay in politics after this negotiation?"

Prime Minister Gai Shuov thinks that this is indeed the case, this time he deliberately selected some people who are not favored, and he did not bring any of his favorite political stars, just so as not to delay the future of others. This time their purpose was clear: to sign a humiliating peace treaty for Bulgaria. Prime Minister Geishov only wants to reduce Bulgaria's losses a little, and he can't even think of negotiating countries to back down.

After receiving the telegram from the country, Prime Minister Gaisov did not directly sign the Romanian conditions proposed by Prime Minister Brettianu. And repeatedly picked out words with the Romanian prime minister, hoping to reduce Bulgaria's losses. However, Prime Minister Bretianu, who now has a huge advantage, does not move at all, and insists on Romania's conditions, so that the Prime Minister Gaischov has no choice. In the end, he agreed to Romania's terms in its entirety after five days, but he was not without success.

In his persistent negotiations, he secured for Bulgaria to cede territory to Romania, where the people could choose whether to go to Bulgaria or stay there. The Romanian government will provide Bulgaria with 20 million leva in humanitarian funds for this purpose, which will be used by these people for their migration. However, Bulgaria will also open up the Romanian community in the country to allow them to migrate to Romania, and Romania will also provide 5 million leva in aid for Bulgaria to facilitate it.

In fact, everyone knows that this is a reparation offered by Romania to get Bulgaria to agree to this condition, just to make a good reputation and not to embarrass the Bulgarian government.

After negotiating Romania's terms, it was much easier for other countries to negotiate, especially Montenegro, and after some price increases, Prime Minister Gaishov got Montenegrin negotiators to agree, and Bulgaria compensated him with 100 leva in compensation.

Then came the negotiations in Serbia, where Prime Minister Geisov and his foreign minister, Milanovic, clashed fiercely over conditions far from each other.

This led to the great powers behind their respective supports, and the negotiations eventually turned into a confrontation between Austria-Hungary Foreign Minister Ehrenthal and Russian Foreign Minister Sasonov. Russia was more powerful than Austria-Hungary, but Austria-Hungary did not budge with German support. In addition, this time the performance of the Serbian army was not as good as that of Bulgaria, and in the end they each took a step back. Serbia will not seek to retain other Macedonian territories, and Bulgaria will not claim sovereignty over the Bitola and Ohrid regions. This is a good result for Bulgaria now.

Later, in the negotiations with Greece, Britain was reluctant to go too deep on the Balkan issue. In the words of British Prime Minister Asquith. "Instead of putting more effort into the Balkans, we should spend more time looking at Germany's shipbuilding program."

So Greece did not get much support in the Bucharest negotiations, and Russia, having secured the interests of Serbia, its own son, only paid lip service to Greece, the younger brother of England, and France, not to mention France, they had no interest in the Balkans at all. So in the end, Greece faced Bulgaria, which had the support of Austria-Hungary and Germany, could only accept Prime Minister Geisov's conditions. The southern part of the Thessaloniki region was obtained, and the city of Thessaloniki was eventually annexed to Bulgaria.

Moreover, Bulgaria was compensated by the islands of Thassos and Samo, which were close to its new territory. For this reason, the Greek negotiator, Foreign Minister Constantine, can only forcibly accept this fact, who made the Greek army behave so badly before.

During the final negotiations with the Ottoman Empire, Prime Minister Geishov had a confrontation with his representative, Foreign Minister Ildire. However, under the mediation of Austria-Hungary and Germany, the two countries used the actual territory they now occupied as the standard, which actually made neither Bulgaria nor the Ottomans very satisfied. However, after seeing that Bulgaria and other countries had reached peace talks, the Ottoman Foreign Minister Ildire could only sign the treaty after asking for instructions from the country.

Because Germany promised to help the Ottoman Empire with a batch of arms in order to give up its unrealistic ideas, and the Ottoman military, after evaluating Bulgaria's performance in these two wars, decided that it was a bit unrealistic to take Adrianople alone against the Bulgarian army. So in the end, under the circle of Austria-Hungary and Germany, this condition was agreed.

The last countries to take part in the Second Balkan War finally signed the Treaty of Bucharest on 1 August.

Romania emerged as the biggest winner in this treaty, and Crown Prince Eder, with his foresight and the strong fighting power of the Romanian army, forced Bulgaria to swallow the fact that it had lost its 22,000 territories.

Serbia, on the other hand, did not perform well in this war, but thanks to the support of Russia, it was able to take the Bitola and Ohrid regions. Greece is more tragic, in the absence of strong support from the big powers, coupled with the fact that its own army is not strong on the battlefield, it only grabbed a small half of the Thessaloniki region, and also lost the two islands of Thassos and Samo, which is considered a dark loss.

In the end, the Ottomans took back the Tekidal region of Eastern Thrace, while Adrianople, which was vital to it, remained in Bulgarian hands.

As for the defeated Bulgaria, despite the loss of the above territory, it was still much better than the original plane, and it retained at least most of the gains of its First Balkan War, mainly Macedonia and most of Thrace. Its population also soared from 4.45 million before the Balkan Wars to 5.08 million, mainly to 126 people in the new territory, although 510,000 Bulgarians lived in the territory ceded to Romania. It is believed that with the propaganda of the Bulgarian government, it can attract about 200,000 Bulgarians to return. In its original history, Bulgaria only increased its population by 280,000 after the two Balkan wars.

Serbia, on the other hand, has grown from a population of just over 3 million before the two Balkan wars to 4.2 million, a decrease of 300,000 from the original historical 4.5 million, mainly because it did not receive from Bulgaria the regions of Strumica and Karadarci, which were part of Macedonia. Greece also increased its population from 2.82 million to about 4 million, 500,000 less than the original historical 450, mainly failed to get the entire Thessaloniki region and western Thrace from Bulgaria, and lost two small islands.

The biggest loser of the two wars was the Ottoman Empire, whose European territory was left only around Istanbul. The loss of most of its European territory also reduced its population by about 4.6 million.
