The Russians' support for Bulgaria was not kept secret at all, and upon learning of the news, Nicholas I immediately ordered the government of Mentenegro to pass a bill for the expansion of the army, regardless of the government's financial capacity.

Regardless of the bad relations with Bulgaria after the Bulgarian War, the Russians moved the bridge and joined in, trying to get a piece of the pie!

Ferdinand happily invited the future Kingdom of Montenegro to join the Alliance, and the Balkan League was officially formed!

Of course, the most important thing is that Mentnegro (Montenegro) has limited strength, and even with the support of the Russians, it will not be able to eat much.

What's more, it is no longer the time of Alexander II, there is no binding of interests, just out of sympathy, the Russians' support for Mentenegro has been greatly reduced!

As for Serbia, the main force of the Balkan alliance in history, it is now difficult to protect itself. Austria-Hungary was not a vegetarian and was constantly encroaching on their sovereignty.

The young Alexander I, having been cornered, began to give up on himself. said goodbye to government affairs completely and hid in the palace to entertain himself.

To Ferdinand's surprise, the Socialist Party, which had historically been tossed around in Bulgaria, did not even have a shadow at this time. Communism began to flourish in Serbia.

The leaders of the rebels, who escaped, accepted the influence of communism. Now it is mixed up with the radicals in Serbia and is preparing to overthrow the traitorous government by force and expel Austria-Hungary!

In the face of the country's survival, Bulgaria is no longer the number one enemy of the Serbs. The Austro-Hungarian Empire, which had contributed to the work, took over the position of the villain, and the government, which was working hard for the post-war reconstruction and recovery of Serbia, became a "rotten" reactionary colonial government!

Well, the Serbian government was really wronged, and at the end of the 19th century they were qualified. Thanks to their unremitting efforts, Serbia was able to regain its national sovereignty.

As for the social contradictions, they are completely the aftermath of the Baosai War. In the face of internal and external difficulties, being able to ensure that relief food will be distributed on time is enough to prove their ability!

However, it is useless, and idealists and radicals cannot see it! It all boiled down to the decay of the government and the exploitation of Austria-Hungary.

Completely ignoring the fact that Austria-Hungary contributed money and efforts, and the Serbian government did its best for the country!

No way, who called Serbian radicals more? The undercurrent of revolution is surging, and Ferdinand estimates that within two or three years, a new round of great uprising will break out!

Ferdinand knew that after the Balkan Wars, Bulgaria would border Austria-Hungary, and the tacit understanding between the two countries would cease to exist due to the existence of the Royal-Russian Alliance.

The small Balkan region could not accommodate two regional powers, and since the two sides were destined to be enemies in the future, he was also happy to see the jokes of Austria-Hungary.

If it were Ferdinand, he would definitely not be as indecisive as the Austro-Hungarian Empire! Either as in the case of Bosnia and Herzegovina, directly control Serbia and find an opportunity to annex it directly; Or simply prop up a pro-Austro-Hungarian government and give Serbia full independence.

Now Austria-Hungary vacillated in its attitude towards Serbia, encroaching on the rights and interests of the Serbs in an attempt to make up for the economic losses, and on the other hand supporting the pro-Austrian-Hungarian regime.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the current Austro-Hungarian Empire's contribution to Serbia is completely disproportionate to the gain!

"Dou Mien, Shengmi hatred"! In the eyes of blindly obedient idealists and radicals, the exploitation of Austria-Hungary remains!

……

Time flew by, and in a flash 1896 passed. As we enter the new year, the situation in the Balkans has deteriorated day by day.

The actions of the Balkan countries still attracted the attention of the Ottoman Empire. There are a few people in the decaying empire, and Harim Pasha, then Foreign Secretary, is one of them.

As the foreign minister of the old empire, Harim Pasha is also arrogant enough to disdain the actions of the three small Balkan states.

What he cares about is the attitude of the powers behind him, and the extra fleet of Bulgaria is the focus of attention!

Harim Pasha had always advocated a rapprochement with the British so that he could concentrate on the Armenian problem at home.

Like most Ottoman nobles, Harim Pasha supported the Sultan and used iron-blooded methods to suppress revolutions in his country.

He believes that once the Armenians are allowed to become independent, it is likely to cause a chain reaction, when the Kurds, Greeks, Bulgarians, Arabs, will all demand independence!

No, the Ottoman Empire could fall apart, which was unbearable for any Turkish nobleman!

The Balkan question has always plagued the Ottoman Empire, and Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Mentenegro have no peace of mind, and they are all eyeing the Ottoman suzerainty.

In Harim Pasha's opinion, if it weren't for the intervention of the great powers, the Ottoman Empire would have solved these chaotic parties long ago!

I finally waited until the two countries pinched each other, thinking that I could live a few days of worry-free, but I didn't expect the Serbs to be too useless, and they were dealt with by Bulgaria!

Now the actions of the three Balkan countries make him very uneasy! The British devised a plan to partition the Ottomans, which Harim Pasha was terrible about, and the Sultan government made diplomatic efforts to convince the Germans and the French to gain support and make concessions to the Russians in exchange for their neutrality.

Harim Pasha knows very well that the actions of the Balkan countries now are absolutely indispensable to the support of the old enemy Russians!

In the same way, Austria-Hungary must also support it, not long ago the Austro-Hungarian Foreign Ministry put forward - let the Ottoman Empire give up the sovereignty of the Bosnia and Herzegovina region, but he righteously rejected it!

Harim Pasha knew that the Ottoman Empire would not be able to defend itself against Britain, Russia, and Austria-Hungary at the same time, even if they did not act together!

Halim Pasha, who knew that he was in big trouble, had just made a proposal to the Sultan, namely: to abandon the Bosnia-Herzegovina region in exchange for the support of Austria-Hungary; Recognize the current state of affairs in the Egyptian region and gain the understanding of the British!

Immediately attracted a crusade!

The War Secretary sarcastically said, "Coward! The enemy hasn't come yet? I just want to surrender! If it does, it's okay! ”

The Minister of the Interior said in a strange manner: "There is no need to scare us here, if the situation is really so serious, now it is not a few clowns who are tossing, but the coalition of Britain, Russia and Austria!"

Will the British and Russians be able to compromise? Aren't the British afraid of the Russians entering the Mediterranean? If so, their Crimean War was not fought in vain?

Will the Russians be able to tolerate Austro-Hungarian expansion in the Balkans? If so, it is estimated that Austria-Hungary would have annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina long ago, and it is estimated that Serbia and Montenegro would not exist anymore! ”

The Secretary of State for War added: "The British have an invincible navy, but an army? That's it! For the sake of a Boer war, we are going to expand, do they still have the energy to come to us for trouble? ”
