In fact, from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, Serbia has been in a very awkward position!

In 1885, the King of Milan ordered an invasion of Bulgaria, but no one expected that it would be defeated, and it was a complete defeat!!

You must know that the Bulgarian army at that time was a rabble, a group of militias that had not been decently trained, and Russia recalled the officers, and the Bulgarian army could not even get together the officers, and even then Serbia was defeated!

With the strong intervention of the boss Austria-Hungary, Serbia ended the war without paying too much price!

But it is easier to please God than to send God, and from then on, Serbia will no longer be inseparable from the influence of Austria-Hungary!

If that's all it takes, anyway, after the defeat of the Bulgarian War, Serbia can only seek refuge from Austria-Hungary in the face of Bulgaria!

But the Serbs have never been the masters of peace, and your gratitude for Austria-Hungary for sheltering you was extinguished in a few days! Under the deception of the Russians, they wanted to create Greater Serbia, and Austria-Hungary became the biggest roadblock!

It's embarrassing, the boss who shelters him is his worst enemy, and the hot-headed Serbs think they have to jump ship and come back to overthrow it!

This is also the reason why the Serbian government decisively approached the Russians after the default of the Austro-Hungarian Bank! Do you know that there are many people in Europe who can provide loans? Small countries such as Belgium, Switzerland, and the Netherlands can provide financial loans without causing dissatisfaction with Austria-Hungary!

In this regard, Ferdinand can only say that the Serbian talent for death is too strong!! Is Austria-Hungary easy to mess with? In the eyes of later generations, Austria-Hungary was a foreign power; But the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the end of the 19th century was by no means the Austro-Hungarian Empire in World War I, the five great powers were still worthy of the name, and the internal contradictions had not intensified!

Chief of Staff Petrov said happily: "In this way, Austria-Hungary also hopes that Serbia will be unlucky!" Can we ~~"

The Minister of Industry, Wei Zheng-Ivanov, shook his head and said: "No! Austria-Hungary wanted to see Serbia unlucky, and they refused to help in the previous rebellion, watching jokes on the side, but they didn't think that Austria-Hungary was willing to see us bigger!

They intervened in 1886, not to mention that now that the 'Royal-Russian Alliance' has been established, it is even more impossible to watch us annex Serbia! ”

When Wei Zheng's words landed, everyone fell into deep contemplation, and then Chancellor of the Exchequer Kennedy suddenly spoke, saying: "Is it possible to carve up Serbia with Austria-Hungary?" It's a big deal that we will suffer a little loss, so it's better to take less! ”

Everyone rolled their eyes, just kidding! Don't get into a mess without eating meat! Putting aside the reactions of other powers, how to divide the spoils?? If you take too much, Austria-Hungary will not agree, and if you take less, it is not a good thing to be neighbors with Austria-Hungary!

Now Bulgaria is doing well, it's not that it doesn't have borders with the powers, its neighbors are all weak chickens, and there is not much pressure on national defense! Once it borders Austria-Hungary, the good days are gone!

Thinking of the terrible world war, which would be forced to be involved as soon as it began, Ferdinand decisively threw this proposal out of the clouds. Of course, if the stakes are big enough, he also minds taking a risk, but Serbia is not worth the price in this era!

At this time, Konstantin opened his mouth and said: "It is unrealistic to divide Serbia, we are still too weak, and it is too dangerous to be neighbors with Austria-Hungary!"

The Austro-Hungarian government was certainly dissatisfied with Serbia, and now the most important thing is to find out to what extent the discontent has been? Is it possible that we can get anything out of it?

If Austria-Hungary needs it, we can fully cooperate with them and teach Serbia a lesson, as long as we collect a little labor fee from it! ”

After listening to Konstantin's serious statement, Ferdinand finally understood the horror of politicians, many things are not as simple as they appear on the surface, and they can be traded behind the scenes!

If the Austro-Hungarian government is really dissatisfied with Serbia, and Bulgaria is willing to cooperate with the Austro-Hungarian Empire to put on a play and teach them a lesson, Ferdinand estimates that nine times out of ten the old emperors will agree!

Anyway, it was Serbia that was unlucky, and even if Bulgaria could reap the benefits of it, it would be Austria-Hungary that would gain the most!

……

After a meeting, Ferdinand felt very bad, and finally returned to the original point - the attitude of the Great Powers! This uncontrollable situation is something that everyone in power resents!

Even if he was reluctant, Ferdinand sent a telegram to Franz Joseph I in his personal name, testing the attitude of Austria-Hungary towards Serbia!

In the Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, the old emperor and Franz Joseph I had been in deep thought since they received Ferdinand's telegram!

Serbian small actions, he is clear, and many times in his opinion, these farces are very puzzling!

You must know that the current situation is that Serbia cannot do without Austria-Hungary, otherwise Bulgaria alone is not something they can handle, and Ferdinand's telegram is the best proof of this!

And Austria-Hungary left Serbia, or Austria-Hungary, and the impact was minimal!

In that case, then it's okay to follow the boss and be the younger brother. The result? As if they were afraid of being forgotten, the Serbs came out every once in a while to brush up on their presence!

Hooking up with the Russians, it's just a matter of doing it secretly, but it's still so obvious, for fear that no one will find out!

Franz Joseph despised the Serbian government's approach, and even if you want the boss to pay attention, you can't hook up with the enemy! I don't know that Erwuzai has always been the fastest to die?

Originally, he was very optimistic that Alexander would be able to pro-government at a young age, but he didn't expect to look away, it was completely a crooked talent tree, and all the ability points were added to the power infighting!

Franz Joseph couldn't decide whether to agree to Ferdinand's proposal or not, even though he wanted to teach Serbia a lesson!

"Someone, inform the cabinet that the afternoon meeting will begin!"

……

The result was not unexpected, the patience of the Austro-Hungarian government with Serbia was exhausted, especially with the slogan "Greater Serbia", don't you know that this is cutting meat on the boss??

You can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!

You have to teach them a lesson, as the boss to discipline the younger brother, you can't rely on brute force, that's the next policy!

Bulgaria is willing to do it for you, that's the best, Lang has a concubine who is interested, so the two sides hit it off!

Now that Austria-Hungary agreed, Ferdinand did not hesitate to directly order to prepare for war! To deal with a Serbia, Bulgaria does not need to do its best, at least the Type 75 field artillery will not have a chance to show its face this time!
