In 1909, the Allies and the Entente were in a state of frantic preparation, neither side knew when the war would begin, but they knew that if they were a little behind today, the price they would pay would be the Empire's tomorrow. www.biquge.info Under these circumstances, neither the Allies nor the Allies wanted the Balkan war to distract everyone, and without the support of the financiers behind them, the Balkans finally ushered in the dawn of peace.

Although the support of the Germans was relatively limited, the Turks did very well, at least in the south, where Bulgaria barely made an inch. The territory gained by Greece and Serbia is still very limited compared to history, but what is surprising is that although Greece, Serbia and Bulgaria did not stand for the second time because of the unequal distribution of spoils, Romania actually entered the war in the middle and late stages of the war! The Romanians slammed Bulgaria in the back, and it can even be said that for this reason, it directly led to the early end of the Balkan war!

"Damn, what's going on?" Ruprecht is a little confused about the situation, Romania is a small country, they dare to do something against the Balkan alliance with the support of the Entente behind them, it is really bold, who gave them the guts?

For this reason, Ruprecht also made a special call to the Kaiser, wanting to know where the Romanians had the audacity to make a move against the Balkan Union.

"Romania's actions were supported and acquiesced in by the Empire, and as an important potential ally of ours, especially if they were willing to help the Turks, who were also allies, the Empire had no reason to oppose it." The Kaiser's answer came as a surprise to Ruprecht.

The relationship turned out to be helping his relatives! The Romanian royal family and the German royal family are really of the same origin, both are different branches of the Hohenzollern family. Before the start of World War I, it was really inclined to Germany, but after the start of World War I, because of the temptation of the Entente and domestic problems, Romania decisively sided with the Entente, and then was beaten by Mackensen.

Of course, the final result was good, Romania received a large amount of territory from Hungary, and the territorial area was more than doubled! Basically fulfilled the wish of Greater Romania, and similar to Romania is Greece, the princess of the Greek king is the sister of William II, this guy was originally intended to be neutral, but because Britain and France landed in Greece to destroy Greece's neutrality, so he was vaguely pulled into the Entente camp, but in the end, Greece also got a piece of the pie from the corpse of the allies in World War 1, and the mix was not bad.

The end result of the Balkan War was that Serbia and Greece both gained some territory, but it was still smaller than the two countries that had historically ended the Balkans. Bulgaria belongs to the kind of people who steal chickens and rice, and the territory gained after the battle is on par with the territory lost.

In Ruprecht's view, on the whole, the Balkan Union did not earn much in this war, if in terms of economic and national power consumption, even some gains outweighed the losses, Serbia and Greece almost staked their own coffin, although they gained some territory, but then there was population pressure on the territory, under the huge foreign debt, the two countries are also responsible for the livelihood of the new population, and in the next 3 years, the war that will sweep the entire European continent will break out, when the time comes, How much combat power they can squeeze out is still a question.

Of course, Turkey obviously suffered a loss this time, but what is better than history is that Turkey did not fight on two fronts this time, and although it lost territory, the country did not break its bones. On the contrary, after the end of this war, Turkey's idea of standing on the side of Germany and Austria has been strengthened, and the Entente has told Turkey with practical actions that even if Turkey is now soft, the Entente will still take action against this sunset empire lying on the sickbed of Europe! Rather than this, it is better to take a leap. And for more than two years in the following years, the efficiency of the Turks' army was indeed not low, and the prince even thought that to some extent it was better than that ......of Austria-Hungary.

"What do you think of the situation in the Balkan countries?" In October 1909, Moltke returned to Munich and, after a conversation about business, asked Ruprecht for his views on the situation in the Balkans.

"After this war, the political map of the Balkans will be clear, Serbia will be firmly on the side of Russia, Greece will be inclined to the Entente, Romania will be an opportunist, and Bulgaria and Turkey will be our allies." Ruprecht said.

"As for the military? Serbia's military strength cannot be underestimated, I think that under the same size, the Austro-Hungarian army cannot defeat the Serbs, don't look at their army is no different from calling Hanako, but the combat effectiveness is still there. The Turks have made some progress, and under special circumstances they can resist the attack of the Allied armies, but it is difficult to make any breakthroughs, and I only have two requirements for them, the first is to hold the oil fields and transportation channels in the two river valleys, and the second is to contain Britain and France as much as possible. ”

"Why do you think Romania will betray the Empire? We both have a good relationship with Romania, and the royal families on both sides are of the same origin. Romania should be on our side. Moltke asked, a little confused.

"Because we can't give what they want, and in the eyes of outsiders, our chances of winning are smaller, don't forget that now there are three big countries playing Germany and Austria and two. In the face of national interests, whether it is a former relationship or a blood relationship, it can only stand aside. Ruprecht said.

"This is a matter of the Eastern Front, and how exactly it should be of concern to you and Austria-Hungary. I don't interfere too much. But I will share your opinion with the Kaiser. Moltke thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, I'll take care of it." Ruprecht nodded in satisfaction, he had already greeted Moltke Jr., and Moltke Jr. said that he could handle it himself, and he was to some extent acting on behalf of the German General Staff. Well, if Romania behaves in some "unfriendly" way, then Ruprecht is more than willing to take over the oil fields within 1 month!

"What is peace? It's just a brief break between the wars! Ruprecht thinks this sentence is a very apt description of the era before World War II. The First Sino-Japanese War, the Spanish-Japanese War, the Boer War, the North African War, the Russo-Japanese War and the present Balkan War. One after the other. And just a few years later, a real world war is about to break out!
