As the negotiations continued, Carol I, who was besieged in Bucharest, was deeply relieved to receive the final cessation conditions of Bulgaria, and the result was even better than he had expected!

The Bulgarians did not have a lion's mouth, and their claim to territory was only a little more than 3,000 square kilometers, although it included the important port city of Constanta!

As for the so-called apologies, relocation of people, war reparations, etc., they were all directly ignored by Carol I, these are all subsections!

"Call back to Barnosk and accept all the conditions of the Bulgarians!" After saying that, Carol I's whole body relaxed

……

And Ankara, the capital of the Ottoman Empire on the other side, was at this time engaged in a fierce quarrel, first over whether to accept the conditions of the Bulgarians, and then over which place to cede!

In short, the Turkish Al-Shabaab, which has just gained power, is very naïve in this regard, and its internal contradictions are also very prominent.

The radicals were too idealistic and advocated not giving an inch, believing that the Germans would not allow the Ottoman Empire to collapse, and that they could use diplomatic means to force Bulgaria to make concessions;

The Moderate faction, on the other hand, argued that Bulgaria also had the support of the Allies and that the Allies had limited support for the Ottoman Empire.

The main thing is that the Germans had limited power in the Near East, and it was difficult to pose a substantial threat to Bulgaria.

And the Austro-Hungarian Empire was originally an old enemy of the Ottoman Empire, and because of the death of the Austro-Hungarian minister, it was very dissatisfied with the Ottoman Empire, and it was undoubtedly a fool's dream to expect them to fully support the Ottoman Empire!

The Italians' land forces, they don't look down on them, and although the navy is good, it is still the Entente that has the final say in the Mediterranean region. The interception of the Bulgarian Navy promised by the Italians in the early stage, which ended without a problem under the intervention of Britain and France, is the best proof of this!

It was not until the Germans showed their attitude that the two factions ended their quarrel. But immediately a conflict arose over a new question, as to what to cede in exchange for the withdrawal of Bulgarian troops from Asia Minor.

For several days, everyone waited for a reply from the Ottoman government, not to mention the Bulgarian Foreign Minister Mejev in question, and even the representatives of various countries were waiting impatiently!

The Ottoman government's delay in giving a reply made everyone very unhappy! In any case, you have to have an attitude when you want to negotiate, right?

If you want to bargain, you've got to throw something, huh? Can't you just keep dragging it out?

At this time, Ferdinand was the most leisurely one, and the negotiations with the Ottoman Empire could not be concluded for a long time? It doesn't matter, it's just convenient for robbery!

Don't think that the Bulgarian army really didn't commit any offences? That's just the prohibition of private robbery, and robbery of ordinary people! For those nobles who had fled, weren't they ownerless in Ferdinand's eyes? The ownerless, of course, will be taken away!

Not only the cities of the Ottoman Empire, but also the occupied Romanian cities were basically looted!

The only thing that hasn't been touched is the property of ordinary people, anyway, they don't have any money, it's not worth it, and it's easy to cause public anger!

In order to stabilize the place, the Bulgarian army first seized all the granaries and distributed grain to the citizens in a unified manner, and controlled the place by controlling the grain!

Anyway, it's all about leaving a mess for the Ottoman government, and the more time passes, the bigger the mess becomes!

If Al-Shabaab is smart enough, it should end the war and resume production as soon as possible, otherwise it will be discovered that millions of people will need to live on government relief food!

However, it did not take long to wait, and under the diplomatic pressure of the major powers, the efficiency of the Ottoman government was forced to increase, and the two sides returned to the negotiating table.

……

Time flew by, and more than half a month passed, and the Constantinople Peace Conference came to an end on October 1, 1909, with Bulgaria and the four countries of the Anti-Bulgarian Alliance signing a cease-and-desist treaty in the presence of representatives of various countries.

Namely: the Armistice Treaty between Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire, the Armistice Treaty between Bulgaria and Romania, the Armistice Treaty between Bulgaria and the Kingdom of Greece, and the Armistice Treaty between Bulgaria and the Kingdom of Montenegro.

The Armistice Treaty between Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire included:

1. The Ottoman Empire admitted defeat in the war, apologized to Bulgaria, apologized to the families of the victims, and paid the families a casualty pension of 2 million pounds;

2. Cession by the Ottoman Empire: the islands of the Aegean Sea, Tripoli and Cyrenaica (Libya), Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Palestine to Bulgaria; (Note: There were parts of Jordan and Palestine that were part of the British sphere of influence at the time and were not among them)

3. Within three months of the signing of the treaty, the two countries completed the transfer and unconditionally released the prisoners of war, namely: the complete withdrawal of Bulgarian troops from the Asia Minor Peninsula and the relinquishment of sovereignty over the above areas by the Ottoman Empire;

4. Extradition treaties, in which the Bulgarian side shall not embarrass the people of the above regions who wish to return to the Ottoman Empire, and shall provide them with certain conveniences;

……

The Armistice Treaty between Bulgaria and the Kingdom of Greece included:

1. The Kingdom of Greece admitted defeat in the war, paid 5 million pounds sterling in war reparations to Bulgaria, and apologized;

2. The Kingdom of Greece ceded all the islands to Bulgaria, including a series of islands such as the Peloponnese;

3. Bulgaria gains suzerainty over the Kingdom of Greece, and the Kingdom of Greece is downgraded to the Duchy of Greece;

4. All political and diplomatic activities of the Greek government shall be carried out under the supervision of the Bulgarian government, and Bulgaria shall have the right to handle international affairs on behalf of the Greek government;

……

The Armistice Treaty between Bulgaria and Romania included:

1. Romania admitted defeat in the war, apologized to Bulgaria, and paid 6 million pounds in war reparations; (Note: The expenses of the Romanian relocated people can be deducted from the indemnity)

2. Romania ceded the Slobozia and Constanta regions (about 3,000 square kilometers) to Bulgaria, and the Romanian government was responsible for relocating the people within three months.

3. After the end of the war, the Bulgarian troops were withdrawn from Romania within a month, and the prisoners of war were released on both sides;

……

The signing of the Treaty of Constantinople marked the end of the Second Balkan War, the establishment of Bulgaria's hegemony in the Near East, the complete reduction of the Kingdom of Greece to a colonial state, and the laying of the legal foundation for Bulgaria's annexation of the Greek Peninsula in the future!

In the palace of Sofia, Bulgarian Foreign Minister Metyev reported to Ferdinand: "Your Majesty, the above is all the results of this peace conference in Constantinople!" ”

Ferdinand nodded and asked with concern, "What is the attitude of the great powers this time?" The contradiction between them, to that point again? ”

Metev thought for a while and said: "According to the analysis of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the contradictions between Germany and France are already very fierce now, and almost the Germans support it, and the French oppose it!"

The energy of the French has already been completely held back by the Germans, and there is no objection even to our acquisition of the Syrian region!

Of course, it is also possible that the value of Syria is too low to be taken seriously by the French!

Among the other powers, the Anglo-German contradictions seem to be beginning to escalate, but the manifestations are not obvious, and it is likely to continue to escalate in the future.

The relations between the Central Powers did not seem to be as good as we imagined, and the contradictions between the Italians and Austria-Hungary seemed to be ready to erupt at any time, of course, it was not ruled out that they deliberately released smoke bombs!

It is also worth noting that the contradictions between Russia and Austria-Hungary are easing, and judging by the information we have received, the Germans are now also co-opting the Russians, and it seems that no progress has been made at the moment! ”

Ferdinand nodded, these situations are similar to the contradictions between countries in parallel time and space history, but due to the rise of Bulgaria, the international situation has changed dramatically.

I can't help but Ferdinand didn't care, what if something happened and he got Bulgaria into it?

"Well, this time the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did a good job, our strategic goals have been achieved, and the great powers have not discovered our real goals, right?" Ferdinand said with a smile

Metyev thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that our negotiations are all conducted in accordance with European practice and have not aroused everyone's suspicions!"

By the way, after the negotiations, the representatives of the Ottoman Empire made us an application to quote the more than 700,000 Ottomans in Greece, and we also agreed a time to negotiate specifically on this issue! ”

Ferdinand was about to blossom, he knew that the Turkish Al-Shabaab was much more capable of governing than the Ottoman bureaucrats, and it was normal for him to realize the importance of the population, and he didn't care!

Even if the Turkish Al-Shabaab is open, it is useless, the outbreak of a world war is not far off!

In just a few years, it is completely impossible to turn an agricultural country ruled by feudal aristocrats into a modern industrial country!

As for the Ottoman government's emphasis on population, Ferdinand said: It doesn't matter! Anyway, as soon as the world war broke out, the Ottoman Empire would not be spared!

Not to mention an increase in population of a few hundred thousand, even if the Ottoman Empire added another 1,000,000 people, it would not be enough to change the general trend of history!

Is he struggling with the resettlement of more than two million people on the Greek peninsula?

The extradition of civilians by the Ottoman government is equivalent to directly reducing the problem by one-third, and it will be much easier to deal with the follow-up!

"Good! Al-Shabaab has also done a good thing, reaching an extradition agreement with them as soon as possible, and if necessary, we can also provide him with some help to send these people away as soon as possible! Ferdinand said happily

The two sides hit it off!

Ferdinand feared that these remained on the Greek peninsula and would cause problems for Bulgaria's future rule; Are the Ottomans still worried that the Juche people are not enough? After all, these more than 700,000 Ottomans are their hardcore supporters!

The Ottoman government was also worried that these people had been working as coolies for the Greeks before, and if they continued to stay on the Greek peninsula, wouldn't they have to work as coolies for the Bulgarians later.

The two sides look at the problem from different angles, and the conclusions they draw are naturally different! It's a win-win deal, everyone gets what they need!
