Chapter 57, Shifting Trouble Jiangdong (Seeking the First Order)

The Second Army advanced vigorously in the Macedonian region, and the Third Army was not to be outdone, successively conquering Pristina, UroΕ‘evac, Pec and other places, and the front of the army was directed at Albania.

Nicholas I was in a hurry, the Bulgarians had already reached Albania, Mentnegro was still in a stalemate with the Ottomans in Brodarevo, Novopazar, Prijepole and other places were still in the hands of the Ottoman Empire (at the junction of present-day Montenegro and Serbia, there was a territory of the Ottoman Empire before the Balkan War, about seven or eight thousand square kilometers), and Albania in the southeast was blocked by Shkodra!

Well, Serbia is out of habit in this plane, and there is no one to compete with them for territory, and Nicholas I naturally swells!

Netnegro had only mobilized more than 30,000 troops in total, and he dared to attack in the northeast and southeast at the same time, and he had to admire their courage!

But courage does not equal strength, and although Netnegro's soldiers were heroic, they were unfortunately too few in number. Especially after the division of troops, there is some powerlessness on all battlefields!

The Prime Minister said apprehensively: "Grand Duke, it's time to make a choice!" The Bulgarians have already entered Albania, we have not made a breakthrough in any direction so far, and if this situation does not change, we will lose our voice in the distribution of loot in the future! ”

Nicholas I sighed, and then said: "I know! It's a pity that such a good opportunity to expand the territory was missed in vain!

After this war, the Ottomans were doomed to withdraw from the Balkans, Bulgaria was about to rise, and where was the future of Mentenegro? ”

The Prime Minister did not know how to answer the question of Nicholas I and bowed his head and remained silent!

The victory of the Balkan Union would have been a good thing for Mentenegro, but the future is not certain!

Bulgaria was too strong this time, almost single-handedly taking out the Ottomans, Greece and Mentenegro just came out to play soy sauce. The balance within the alliance has been broken!

Originally, Nicholas I had planned to move closer to the Greeks to counterbalance Bulgaria was no longer possible, and the Greeks behaved so badly that even if the two countries joined forces, it would have no effect.

"Alas!"

Nicholas I sighed and made the final decision!

"Invite the Bulgarians to send troops to Albania, withdraw the 1st Division of Shkodra and go all out to take the Ottomans in the northeast!"

"Yes!" The Prime Minister replied unwillingly

……

Received an invitation from Mentenegro, Ferdinand was still in a state of oppression, and Nicholas I gave up Albania like this?

Foreign Minister Metyev reminded: "Grand Duke, when Mentenegro eats the Zamar region, their territory will more than double, and together with the already occupied northern regions of Albania, their territory will actually expand twice!"

Even if we give Albania to them, now Mentenegro will not be able to eat it! ”

Ferdinand laughed, hiding his embarrassment. The historical kingdom of Montenegro doubled its territory in the Balkan Wars, and they all had indigestion, and now they have tripled, and if Nicholas I jumps out and fights with Bulgaria for the rest of Albania, his brain will be in water!

Suddenly Ferdinand had a flash of inspiration, Nate Negro now has a population of just over 400,000, and after the war their territory will nearly triple and their population will exceed a million, which is also a threat to Bulgaria's future strategy!

With a sneer, he said: "Order Major General Ilya Dimityev to attack Albania at once, tell him that the population of Mentenegro is too small, and as an ally we should pull them along!" ”

Prime Minister Konstantin was very cooperative and said: "Your Excellency is right, we should help them, Mentenegro has only about 400,000 people so far, so what can we do?" It's too little, how can it take 15.6 million to match their identity! ”

Chekov added: "Indeed! However, we must not be compensatory, Greece has also lost a lot of people in this war and needs to be replenished urgently. We should also help them more, as compensation for their contribution to this war! ”

……

Seeing that everyone was reasonable, Ferdinand almost believed it, and had to sigh with emotion, "Politicians are all grandmasters of thick black studies!" ”

"Okay, just do as everyone says! Tell the generals on the front line to give them all the excess that we don't need! Let's convey our thoughts to the fighters, we can't be stingy with our allies! Ferdinand concluded

In a few words, the religious and ethnic contradictions that may occur in Bulgaria in the future were resolved!

As for what will happen to Greece and Mentnegro in the future, Ferdinand has already thought of it, so let's pay a moment of silence for them!

……

Major General Ilya Dimitev, who had just entered Albania, suddenly received a strange order from within the country.

That's right, it's "weird orders"! Isn't it weird to help Mentenegro increase its population? Mentenegro's relationship with Bulgaria has never been good!

Puzzled on the march, seeing countless buildings that were different from churches, Major General Ilya Dimitev seemed to think of something, and said to himself: "Is it for ......?"

Major General Ilya Dimitev, who had received a new education, did not have a good impression of these religious fanatics.

At a time when he was having a headache, the Bulgarian government also sent teams to Macedonia and Albania to preside over the migration to Mentegro and Greece.

If it were all left to the military, Ferdinand was very suspicious that they would play any tricks, and a bad Albania would become a no-man's land!

Ferdinand's purpose was only to expel the trouble, not really to increase the strength of the two "allies"! Bulgaria is still very short of population, as long as it can be assimilated, the more the merrier!

What will happen next does not need to be described, it is nothing more than coercion and temptation.

……

Half a month later, Ferdinand received the report of the working group and said in disbelief: "What? The immigration process is not going well! It's all a bunch of rice buckets, don't you have the most experience of immigrants in the world? ”

Prime Minister Konstantin was embarrassed and said: "Grand Duke, many people in Albania are reluctant to move, the resistance is fierce, in order not to attract the attention of international public opinion, we cannot take drastic actions!" ”

Ferdinand shook his head and came up with an idea: "Who let you do it yourself?" Don't forget that Albania also has rebels who rebelled against the tyranny of the Ottoman Empire, and bandits who were forced by the Ottoman Empire to fall into the grass! ”

After Ferdinand pierced the window paper, the Balkans became even more lively, with the Bulgarian army defeating the Ottoman army in front and a large number of heroes emerging from the rear.

The rebel army in Albania has reappeared, along with the rebel army in Kosovo and the rebel army in Macedonia.

Bandits and bandits from all over the country have also come out of the mountains, taking revenge and complaining!

Due to the limited strength of Bulgaria and the fact that it had to fight against the Ottoman army, it was unable to stabilize the local area and could only allow local autonomy, and the undesirable consequences of this were that the Albanian region had been ruled by the Ottoman Empire for a long time, lacked the foundation of democracy and freedom, and had nothing to do with the Bulgarian government.

The above is the official explanation made by the Bulgarian government in the aftermath of the ongoing chaos in the Albanian region!

According to the official data released by the Bulgarian government, the chaos in Albania in 1897 caused at least hundreds of deaths, thousands of injuries, and hundreds of thousands of displacements, and emigrated to Mentnegro and Greece!
