Chapter 385: The History of the Bloody Royal Family
The news that the regent of Yugoslavia was preparing to go to Berlin was sent to Xu Jun as soon as possible. Xu Jun is no stranger to this Yugoslav prince, who was still a history student and had done special research on the history of the Balkans, and of course he would not miss this controversial figure in history and the tragic hero in the hearts of later Serbs.
"Paul. Kara Georgevich (also translated as Karag Orgievich and Kara Chorkievich, since the surname comes from the name in honor of his ancestors, Kara George, so the author believes that this is the correct translation of this surname). Xu Jun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his office with his hands behind his back, looking out at the verdant back garden of the Prime Minister's Office, with a copy of Prince Paul's personal file between his fingers.
"Tysenhofen." Xu Jun looked out the window and said indifferently.
"Make me a pot of coffee." The Führer commanded.
"Excuse me, my Führer, do you want coffee?" The adjutant thought he had misheard, and respectfully leaned over to ask.
"Yes, put less sugar, and by the way, call General Weirle for a while. Also, inform Ribbentrop that he should come to me immediately. Xu Jun turned around and walked to his desk.
"Yes, my Führer." Tysenhofen nodded in agreement and walked briskly to the side door of the office.
"It's such a headache, it seems that it can't be bypassed." Xu Jun sat down on the delicate sofa chair and threw the papers in his hand on the table.
The head of the Reich knew perfectly well that the Yugoslav prince was not an easy object to deal with, and the history of the family was full of slots.
Speaking of the family of His Royal Highness the Prince, we must first start with the history of the current royal family of Yugoslavia.
The current Yugoslav royal family is also well-established, relying entirely on the swords and guns of their ancestors. Their ancestor was a famous national hero in Serbian history, named Kara Georgio. Petronovich.
At that time, Serbia was still under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, and Karageo, who was born as a poor peasant, joined the Austrian army, fought in the Austrian war with Turkey, accumulated some seniority in the army, and became the recognized leader of the Serbs for a time. In the First Serbian War of Independence, he led his army to defeat the Turks, Serbia gained independence from the Ottoman Empire, and he became the well-deserved founding monarch, recognized by the Serbian First Constitution as the hereditary chief of the Serbs.
Unfortunately, the Russo-Turkish war led to serious resentment between Britain and Turkey because of his inclination towards Russia, and eventually the Turks returned, Elvia was defeated, and the hereditary leader was forced to flee the country.
At this time, another Serbian strongman who had followed him in the War of Independence, Miloš. Obrenović stepped forward, and while leading the remnants of Serbian armed resistance, he sent emissaries to the Turks asking for negotiations. This Obrenovich can be said to have stained his crown red with the blood of his own countrymen, executed Karageorge, who had sneaked back home, and used the leader's head to show his sincerity to the Turks, while trying to make a deal with the Turks.
In the end, Turkey, fearing that drawing too many forces in this barren land would weaken the frontal defense against the Russians, simply pretended to be generous and agreed to the Serbs' request for peace. Serbia became a highly autonomous Grand Duchy attached to the Ottoman Empire, and Obrenović became the first Grand Duke of Serbia, inaugurating the Obrenović dynasty.
If the matter had ended here, then Serbia would not have been so bloody as it had been, but the Serb goddess of fate had apparently watched too much Greek drama, and it didn't take long for the descendants of Kara George to appear on the stage of history again.
At this time, in order to show how strong his roots were, his descendants abandoned the original surname Petronovich and changed the surname to Kara Georgevich after the famous name Kara George. Relying on the prestige of his ancestors, his identity was recognized by both Russia and Turkey.
By this time, Miloš had already shown signs of breaking away from Ottoman control in his power, which was seen as a provocation to the Ottoman constitution, and because he also offended Russia by turning to Turkey, as a result, under the pressure of two large powers, Miloš was forced to resign, and he was succeeded by Karageorge's youngest son, Alexander. Kara Georgievich.
But if you think that the descendants of the old master have returned, and the mountains and rivers have changed color, then you are too naïve. As mentioned earlier, the goddess of fate of the Serbs once again played a big joke on them, this Grand Duke Karageorgovich worked hard to develop education and industry, and was also a promising monarch, but in the eleventh year of his reign, the Ninth Russo-Turkish War broke out, which is the Crimean War that later military fans talked about.
This time, the emperor's mind was in water for a while, he had been worried that Obrenovic would take advantage of the war to come back, so he made it clear that Serbia would not intervene in the war and would not help either side, and as a result, this decision offended the French, British and Turkish alliances. The Russian army suffered a crushing defeat in the Crimean War, and Britain and France also suffered heavy casualties in this war, and when the war was over, the coalition forces were ready to settle scores.
They believe that the current Grand Duke of Serbia has pro-Russian tendencies and is a destabilizing factor in Europe that must be eliminated. Orchestrated by the great powers, the Austrian Serbs staged a coup d'état, overthrew and expelled Grand Duke Alexander I, and re-elected Obrenović to power again.
The plot is full of ups and downs, it's like a historical palace fighting text at the starting point or a bloody drama at eight o'clock, but you think this should come to an end, obviously you guessed wrong, this Balkan version of [Game of Thrones] is far from ending.
In 1878, at the Berlin Conference, in which the European powers used the so-called "re-establishment of order in the Balkans" as an excuse to redivide the Balkan spheres of influence, Serbia was finally recognized by the great powers and became an independent state from the nominal rule of Ottoman Turkey.
In 1882 the Principality of Serbia was officially upgraded to a kingdom, and the first ruler of the kingdom was Milan. Obrenovic, known as Milan I, must have thought that the Obrenović family had been entrenched for thousands of years, but the reality was completely different from what they expected.
In the eyes of the Serbs, Milan I is a complete faint king and playboy, a proper Serbian Sui Emperor-like figure, he disregarded the reality of the situation in the country to engage in civil construction and mineral development, the people were expropriated and extorted, and at the same time regardless of the dissuasion of the cabinet brazenly provoked a war with Bulgaria, as a result, the Serbian army was defeated by the Bulgarians, this person was also extremely greedy for money and lustful, and when he reigned, he ran away with his queen because of the relationship with his mistress, took the prince, who was only ten years old at the time, and ran back to his parents' house to live.
What makes the Serbs even more angry is that this bastard is extremely irresponsible, and after seven years as king, he inexplicably abandoned the throne and ran to Paris to get away, throwing the throne to Prince Alexander. Obrenovich (note that this is again a man named Alexander), and this prince was only twelve years old at that time.
King Alexander I was too young to be regent for state affairs by his mother, perhaps because he was too oppressed, which led to a serious rebellious character.
Originally, he should have been eighteen years old to be able to take charge of the government, but at the age of sixteen,
