Problems that cannot be resolved at the negotiating table will be resolved under the negotiating table, in fact, as long as the allies relent, Ferdinand's goal can be achieved, and the opinion of the anti-protection alliance itself does not matter!

In order to achieve a real strategic goal, Ferdinand threw this series of smoke bombs, just to confuse the six great powers and focus their eyes on the negotiations to cover the actions of the Bulgarian army on the Greek peninsula!

Long before the start of the negotiations, Bulgarian troops had already occupied most of Greece, and after the negotiations began, Ferdinand, taking advantage of the home advantage, cut off the delegations from the countries and the Greek mainland, buying three days.

Covered the actions of the Third Front, which had just been drawn from Izmir, namely: landing on the Peloponnese and capturing Piraeus, turning Athens into an isolated city! (Other areas have been occupied before, including Evia Island)

……

Oh, the Greek delegation that got the news is angrily protesting to Metelf at this time, but unfortunately Metev is also an old fritter, how can he accept it?

In the face of the Bulgarian Foreign Minister Metyev, the head of the Greek delegation, Prime Minister George Theotokis, could not do anything but appeal to the negotiating meeting in an attempt to gain the support of the powers.

"Gentlemen, in the few days I was negotiating, the Bulgarian army raided Greece, landed in the Peloponnese, and captured Piraeus!

This is a blasphemy against peace by the Bulgarians who do not take the Conference into account and are contrary to international practice, and we hope that all States will uphold justice and put an end to this ......"

Russian representative Paul Ivanov interrupted Prime Minister George's tirade and said: "We deeply regret what happened on the Greek peninsula, but now that it has happened, then let's continue today's negotiations!" ”

His proposal was supported by Britain and France, and even won the acquiescence of Italy, the Kingdom of Montenegro, Romania, and the Ottoman Empire, with only the Germans and Austria-Hungary objecting!

This result chilled Prime Minister George Theotokis, and it was normal for the Entente to support Bulgaria, but the silence of the other three countries of the Anti-Bulgarian Alliance and the Italians undoubtedly told him that the countries were ready to sell out the interests of Greece in order to satisfy Bulgaria's interests, so as to lower the conditions in other areas!

In fact, in the following negotiations, Bulgaria softened its attitude towards the other three countries, as if to tell everyone that this time Bulgaria's main purpose was the Greek peninsula!

After the adjournment, Prime Minister George Theotokis protested against the three allies of the Kingdom of Montenegro, Romania and the Ottoman Empire, expressing strong dissatisfaction with their betrayal!

Oh, as for Britain, France, Russia, and Italy, they are all great powers, and the Greeks can't afford to mess with them, so they can only pretend that nothing happened.

At the same time, the three Central Powers also held a secret meeting, and the representatives of Germany and Austria-Hungary expressed strong dissatisfaction with the silence of the Italians, saying that the positions of the three countries would be the same in this negotiation, but today the Italians suddenly changed!

"Mr. Antonio, what do you mean by your country's performance today? We need a plausible explanation! German Foreign Minister Pilov said dissatisfied

Although the representative of Austria-Hungary did not speak, his expression betrayed his attitude, and it was also necessary for the Italians to give a reasonable explanation.

The Italian diplomatic representative, Antonio Salandra, said unhurriedly: "Mr. Pilov, our attitude in Italy has not changed from the beginning to the end, and there is no doubt that we will be consistent with your country's position in this negotiation!"

As for today's matter, it is entirely for the common benefit of everyone, and we made a decision on the fly.

Now that the Bulgarians have occupied the Greek peninsula, and they have the support of the Entente, it is impossible for them to withdraw from it by our diplomatic pressure alone.

Everyone knows that it is impossible for our three countries to provoke a full-scale war for the sake of the Greeks!

Now that the established fact has been created, it is not unacceptable to abandon Greece if the Bulgarians can make concessions on the issue of the other three countries! ”

Pilov was also helpless about the Italians, and although it was emotionally difficult to accept to abandon the Greeks, he had to admit that Antonio had a point.

The Bulgarians have already occupied the Greek peninsula, and even if the Triple Alliance wants to intervene, it will be beyond the reach of the whip!

The Germans were too weak in the Mediterranean region and could only rely on Austria-Hungary and the Italians.

The Italians had made it clear that they would not provoke a war for the Greeks; As for Austria-Hungary, not to mention, you can't expect their land forces to push all the way through, right?

The most important thing is that Greece is too weak, as the weakest country in the anti-protection alliance, even if their geographical location is important, but their practical value is the lowest!

There is no way, even if the Allies are willing to help them, but the strength of the Greeks is not enough to stop the two Bulgarian infantry divisions, once the war breaks out, they will be finished immediately, what can such an ally do?

The great powers are very realistic, and in the face of feelings and interests, of course, interests are more important!

Now the highest strategic value to the Allies is undoubtedly the Ottoman Empire, which has the greatest war potential, can contain the Russians and Bulgaria at the same time, and can also threaten the Suez Canal, which cannot be abandoned!

The second is Romania, which has a certain strength and can unite with Austria-Hungary against the Bulgarians and the Russians!

The Kingdom of Montenegro and Greece are both dispensable existences, the Kingdom of Montenegro was just bought by the Germans, and the Greeks were forced by Ferdinand, and they are not really allies of the Allies!

At least Austria-Hungary did not consider the Kingdom of Montenegro an ally, and the Italians did not consider Greece as a thing!

……

When the Allies were discussing internally, Metyev was not idle, this time the incident was quietly done by Bulgaria behind the back of other countries, although Britain, France and Russia were forced to support Bulgaria due to the relationship between allies, but they will definitely have dissatisfaction in their hearts, these still need to be appeased!

Well, to put it simply, it's a bribe! After all, before the negotiations began, everyone had reached an agreement, the positions of the countries had been determined, and what Metyev had to do was to settle the representatives of the countries, otherwise it would be enough for Ferdinand to learn from the Italians and be silent once!

The autonomy of these diplomatic representatives was great, and Ferdinand did not lose his energy in order to make Antonio Salandra, a right-winger, the head of the Italian delegation.

Now the harvest is also obvious, and the performance of others is also very good, that is, they are deliberately letting Bulgaria grow bigger and stabbing Austria-Hungary in the back!

In the eyes of these extremists, the fight against Austria-Hungary, the recapture of the Trentino region, the Grizia region is the first task, as for the rest are floating clouds!

Oh, and this is one of the reasons why the Italians suddenly betrayed the Allies after Antonio became prime minister!

After all, the feelings of Italians who have become allies with the old enemy of Austria-Hungary are not so easy to accept, and in this country with rich feelings, personal feelings can often transcend national interests!
