After Konstantin ripped out the tiger skin, Harim Pasha knew the result!

There was no doubt that Constantinople would fall into the hands of Bulgaria, or rather, the Russians, whether they wanted it or not, and the delegations had to make their support unequivocal.

The 19th century was the century of Europe, and the century of Christ! In this era, even in the most open atmosphere in the United States, politicians must believe in God!

Whether it is Orthodox Christianity, Roman Catholicism, or Protestantism, the rulers of the European continent must show themselves the face of a devout believer in God!

This is true of Queen Victoria, William II, Nicholas II, and our protagonist Ferdinand!

The unanimous support of the representatives of various countries, the opinion of the Ottoman Empire itself is no longer important. Harim knew that if he continued to pester, he would never be able to get good fruit!

Just look at the attitude of the citizens of London, after the Bulgarian storming of Constantinople, Harim Pasha saw three celebrations organized by the people.

The ensuing negotiations went much smoother, and Harim Pasha acquiesced in the disposition of Constantinople by the states, whether reluctantly or not.

Although they are greedy, everyone knows that neither the British nor the Germans are capable of preventing the Russians from gaining the sovereignty of Constantinople, Bulgaria, and a fig leaf left by the Russians to everyone!

However, Ferdinand was very happy with this result, what else is there in Constantinople now? Except for the political, military, and religious status, it is completely in ruins!

Maybe the Russians have some value in their hands, but in the hands of Bulgaria, Ferdinand really doesn't know what to do?

Rebuilding Constantinople? Bulgaria doesn't have that kind of money! What if you don't rebuild? Wait to be sprayed to death by public opinion!

On the contrary, the other areas of Istanbul except Constantinople were even more tempting to Ferdinand!

It is also the industrial center of the Ottoman Empire, and the foundation left behind is still very thick, which can effectively make up for the lack of Bulgaria's industrial heritage.

After the loss of Constantinople, the morale of the Ottoman delegation was not suppressed, apparently this was already expected by them.

Harim Pasha knew that the Ottomans had no leverage in their hands for Bulgaria and Menegro, but for the Greeks they still had a lot of leverage.

If the Greek government wants to return to Athens, it will not be able to pay a price, even if Bulgaria is willing to send troops, it will not stop the Ottoman Empire from destroying the country.

Harim Pasha righteously said: "As the instigator of this war, we must pay the price we deserve, and the stability of the Near East cannot be undermined!" ”

It is clear that this is against the Union, and even more so against the Greeks!

But Konstantin was in no hurry to speak, the reason was that Bulgaria and the Ottomans had already reached a secret agreement, and the Greeks were shamelessly betrayed by Ferdinand!

The full name of the agreement is "Post-war Agreement between Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire on the Repatriation of Their Respective Subjects", which is simply an agreement between the two countries to exchange populations.

This is a win-win agreement, the Ottoman Empire is now suffering enough from the lack of Juche ethnic groups, and the rebellions of ethnic minorities occur every year, and the Bulgarians in their country are undoubtedly unstable.

It is in the interests of both sides to throw them to Bulgaria in exchange for the complete support of their Turks, and everyone will settle this account!

After the loss of the Balkans, there were still Bulgarians in the Ottoman Empire, and the Sultan government did not count the exact number.

Ferdinand didn't know even more, anyway, he knew that the number would not be small, and the Bulgarians were still among the top five races in the Ottoman Empire in terms of numbers at the time of World War I!

According to preliminary estimates, there are still two or three million people, and these populations are undoubtedly precious to Ferdinand! Betraying the Greeks once for the sake of this population, his heart was not stressed.

Konstantin began to play dumb, and the Greek Foreign Minister is not a fool, how can he not see it? simply followed and pretended to be stupid, didn't answer, and pretended not to hear.

Now the position of the German delegation is a little embarrassing, and the two younger brothers at the bottom are stumbling together again, who should they help?

The Germans did not think about reconciling the contradictions between Greece and Turkey, but unfortunately, with the full-scale outbreak of the Balkan War, there was no room for relaxation between the two sides!

The Ottoman Empire lost so badly this time, how could it give up if it didn't make up for the loss? Greece is similar, they all suffer heavy losses, and they all want to cut a piece of meat from each other to make up for the losses.

The Germans simply closed their eyes and stirred soy sauce on the side; The representatives of Austria-Hungary did not care about the Germans, and they did not bother to meddle.

Not to mention the Franco-Russian delegation, it is not about themselves; The British delegation is now happy to see the jokes, too.

Originally, the British were the dominant ones in Greece, but the Germans came later, including George I, and now the Greek government is dominated by the Germans.

Without the intervention of the great powers, the problems of the Ottomans and Greece would have been slowly arranged.

The negotiations are still going on, and everyone is pulling from east to west, and if they encounter something that is not clear, as long as it is not directly related, then move on to the next article.

Soon the issues about Bulgaria and Mentnegro were settled, and Harim Pasha was a broken jar, and he did not hesitate to sign anything that became an established fact.

But where it could be disputed, he did not give in, and tried to get the best interests for the Ottoman Empire.

The London negotiations, not only the agreement between the Ottoman Empire and the Balkan Alliance was completed, but also had to be recognized by the great powers before it could be considered effective!

There is no objection to the Ottoman Empire's abandonment of the Balkan territories, but there is a dispute over the division of spoils between the Balkan alliances.

The German and Austro-Hungarian delegations made it clear that Greece, as a member of the Alliance, had contributed to the war and deserved a share of the spoils.

The Greek delegation, which was supported by the great powers, also grew a lot stronger, and directly opened its mouth and directly put forward territorial claims to half of Macedonia and Albania!

Konstantin had long been instructed by Ferdinand that this time the distribution of loot did not have a share of the Greeks, and directly ignored the demands of the Greek delegation.

took out the secret treaty signed by Ferdinand and George I, written clearly in black and white, whoever got it first belonged to whom, according to the provisions of the secret treaty, this spoils distribution had nothing to do with the Greeks.

Originally, the Germans also advocated that the Albanian region be assigned to Mentenegro to balance Bulgaria, but as soon as the plan was proposed, it was strongly opposed by Austria-Hungary and was stillborn.

After all, the Austro-Hungarian Empire had been operating in Serbia for decades, so how could Nicholas I's support for the Serbian Revolutionary Army be hidden from the Vienna government?

Now Austria-Hungary is still too busy dealing with the Serbian Revolutionary Army to trouble Mentenegro, but any increase in their strength, the Vienna government is against it!

In order to teach the Menter cabinet a lesson, Austria-Hungary also forcibly seized the area around Priboy, reducing the estimated territory of Nicholas I by more than 3,000 square kilometers.

Of course, the Austro-Hungarian Empire did not want to see Bulgaria continue to grow bigger, and proposed to let Albania become an independent state.

It's a pity that Ferdinand has already taken a salary, and now Albania has only the Bulgarian army left except for the Bulgarian supporters, and the others have either gone to Greece or to the controlled area of Mentenegro.

The Bulgarian populace was now also urgently approved by Ferdinand, and all of them became Bulgarian citizens. Now Albania is all citizens of Bulgaria, on what basis does it become an independent state?

Of course, Bulgaria made concessions, promising to protect Austro-Hungarian interests in the region, and Austria-Hungary was awarded the construction of a railway to the Adriatic Sea in Albania!

The Austro-Hungarian delegation was also well aware that the country was now busy suppressing the riots in Serbia and did not have the energy to intervene in Albania in the short term.

Austria-Hungary also made claims to annex Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, and was supported by the Germans and British, but opposed by the Russians.

The aim of the British succeeded, and after the Austro-Hungarian propaganda annexation of Serbia, the Russian-Austrian contradictions began to intensify.

It's a pity that now the Entente and the Central Powers have no idea of fighting, Austria-Hungary wants to forcibly annex Serbia, and Nicholas II has no intention of sending troops to intervene, the so-called opposition is just to give an explanation to the pro-Russian faction in Serbia!

The conflict between the Russian Empire and Austria-Hungary was not as serious as the outside world thought.

Nicholas II and Felanz Joseph I secretly reached an agreement long before, and in order to achieve their respective goals, both sides staged a play to deceive the British!

Due to the wide opening of the lion of the Greeks, there was a strong discontent from Bulgaria and Mentenegro.

So after the terms of the negotiations involving the two countries were completed, the two countries announced the dissolution of the Balkan Alliance on the grounds that the Ottoman Empire had now been defeated and the mission of the Balkan Alliance had been completed!

Well, when the Balkan League was signed, there was indeed such a clause, "After the defeat of the Ottoman Empire, the Balkan Alliance Treaty automatically expires!" ”

The Greeks were pitted by Ferdinand, two huge pits in a row, and it is difficult for the Greek government to get up now!

Now that the Balkan alliance is gone, the Bulgarian and Mentenegro delegations have withdrawn directly, and the remaining questions are left for the Greeks themselves to talk slowly with the Ottoman Empire!

On September 15, 1897, negotiations that lasted more than two months finally came to an end, with Bulgaria, Mentnegro, Greece and the Ottoman Empire signing peace treaties, collectively known as the Treaty of London.

The Treaty of London was signed, which ended the Balkan Wars.

Treaty content:

First, Bulgaria and Mentnegro will become completely independent from the Ottoman Empire.

Second, the Ottoman Empire gave up all its territory in Europe.

Mentenegro will receive part of the Albanian region, the new Pazar region. (Total area of about 9,000 square kilometers)

The Ottoman Empire received the region of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the region of Priboy. (The total area is about 50,000 square kilometers)

Third, the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria signed the Agreement on the Repatriation of the Respective Subject Nationalities between Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire after the war;

Fourth, the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria would jointly have sovereignty over the Bosps, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles.

The two governments will work together to safeguard the safety of navigation for ships and ensure that freedom of navigation is unrestricted.

Fifth, after the signing of the peace treaty, Bulgaria and Mentenegro had to release all Ottoman prisoners within the year.
