On the long table, after several rounds of confrontations, the northwest is more in concessions, and the Nanyang merchants have gained a lot of benefits, and even some infrastructure will be built by the northwest, and after signing the intention, the 100,000 people who can be equipped with arms, more than 600 professional military trainers, will go to Borneo within a month, and the personnel drawn by the Nanyang merchants will also go to Borneo.

Of course, the northwest side is more built and arranged to arrange personnel to the plantations of the Northwest Farm, with the protection of the Nanyang Division, plus the Northwest Farm is far from the seaside in the interior, forming a series of protection systems, almost every farm is integrated and carefully arranged protective fortifications, so that the safety performance is higher.

Nanyang side, cautiously agreed, but did not determine, this involves dozens of large families, combined, there may be tens of thousands of people, in Borneo of course willing, others, not so easy, at least, in the Malay Peninsula, still feel relatively safe. There are some things that must be experienced in person before they can be finalized, and they need to go back and discuss them seriously, and the northwest side has not forced it.

The Nanyang delegation stayed in the northwest for a total of 14 days, almost May, and when they left, it was almost June, and their arrival signed a large number of orders with the northwest, and by the way, they also signed a certain agreement. Or in the name of indigenous peoples, such security will be higher.

But. In 1913, it was not destined to be Asian. Or it is with Nanyang as the core, even Yang Yuanzhao is the same, when the merchants of Nanyang have not returned, his eyes have turned to the European side, because there is chaos there.

On May 15, Turkey and the Balkan Alliance, led by the British, signed a treaty in London, essentially declaring the end of the First Balkan War. Because Turkey withstood the attack of the four countries and finally signed the agreement, Turkey did not suffer much loss on the surface, but in fact it suffered a lot of losses, tens of thousands of square kilometers of land were directly cut off by the other side, which is not enough, until now, the Balkan Union has still not withdrawn from the actual control line. The London Peace Conference, in a sense, was just an empty agreement with no substantive consequences.

Turkey was devastated by the First Balkan War. Even if you are dissatisfied, you can only accumulate strength, among them. Arms from China have become an important weight. Compared to the equipment of other countries, the quality of China is better. And the price is slightly cheaper, the most important thing is that you can have as much as you want, so in just 3 years, Turkey has successively purchased 120 million US dollars of arms, basically, all of which are mainly ordinary weapons and artillery, and in just 3 months, it has recovered its vitality and accumulated a lot of combat effectiveness.

Turkey had been waiting, waiting for the warships ordered by Britain to return to Turkey, waiting for the army to regain its strength, but before Turkey could make a move, several countries in the First Balkan Alliance, because of the uneven distribution of spoils, contradictions, because of the support of Germany and Austria-Hungary, in the First Balkan War, Bulgaria, which had the most profits, became the target of public criticism.

Serbia and Greece secretly signed an anti-Bulgarian alliance, while Bulgaria, because of the approval of Austria-Hungary, began the process of expanding the armament war, the contradictions between the two sides became more and more intense, and even did not hesitate to show the borders, on June 1, preemptively, suddenly attacked Serbia and Greece, and the second Balkan War broke out.

In less than three months, the war was fought again in the Balkans, this time the situation was more complicated, Romania and Negro joined the combined forces of Serbia and Greece, and the combined forces not only resisted the Bulgarian attack, but also invaded the Bulgarian territory, Bulgaria began to be in danger, a large number of troops were wiped out, a large number of territories were occupied, and it was almost to the capital.

At this time, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which supported Bulgaria, was already preparing to invade Serbian territory in order to support Bulgaria, but was rejected by Germany, which was not fully prepared to fight a world war with the Entente, and the possibility of an early outbreak of World War I disappeared, and Bulgaria was completely isolated.

If things really develop like this, although the situation in the Balkans has not been completely controlled, it will be temporarily bottlenecked, and this war may end because of Bulgaria's defeat, but on June 15, things changed, and Bulgaria actually made a desperate bet to return the Ottoman territory and fight with the Ottoman coalition against the anti-Bulgarian alliance.

The most important thing is that the three Pasha of Turkey, after thinking about it again, actually agreed to Bulgaria's request, the situation in the Balkans changed, the two originally hostile sides actually formed an alliance, Turkey's completely integrated 14 divisions, divided into two parts, entered Bulgaria and Serbia respectively, and the war continued to intensify between the anti-Bulgarian alliance and Bulgaria and Turkey.

The combat effectiveness of the Turkish army is not weak, recuperating, obtaining sufficient equipment, and after 3 months of training, it is particularly worth mentioning that the three fulcrums located in the European part have been preserved, more than 50,000 troops who have gone through the war and have been strictly trained have been preserved, they have mixed part of the new army, and quickly recovered their combat effectiveness, and the arms from the northwest have given them the icing on the cake, two aspects, 7 divisions each, and an army of more than 100,000 people, which are suddenly overwhelming, on the Bulgarian side, Surrounded by 4 divisions of the anti-Bulgarian coalition army, the southern Serbian side, eliminated 3 local divisions, occupied 4 cities and more than 10,000 square kilometers of land, and the situation turned one-sided.

Turkey's intervention has once again made the entire Balkan situation tense and intensified, and Austria-Hungary, which was originally on the sidelines, no longer ignored the opposition of Germany, obviously took advantage of it, and beat the water dogs, how could it be wrong, and the strength of 12 divisions was transferred to the border of Serbia, and it was possible to invade Serbian territory at any time, and Bulgaria, which was losing and retreating, gained a chance to breathe, and after a little rectification, it transferred 4 divisions to respond to the Turkish army, for a while, The anti-protection alliance, which had the advantage of itself, actually fell into a situation of siege, and the most elite of nearly 150,000 troops were surrounded by twice their superior forces, and it was almost impossible to return to the country.

As long as this part of the army is eliminated, the anti-Bulgarian alliance will have no basis for survival, and even the core of it, Greece and Serbia, will face the danger of being dismembered, or even eliminated, such a situation is what the Entente does not want to see, they did not expect that the dominant anti-Bulgarian alliance was almost completely disintegrated, Bulgaria and Turkey united, under the palm of their hands, became the Allies to occupy an absolute advantage, at this time, Germany, which has not yet made up its mind, no longer strongly demanded Austria-Hungary, On the contrary, a large amount of supplies were given to Austria-Hungary for support.

The Balkan Peninsula, located in the rear of the flank of the Central Powers, if it is pacified here, it can not only open up the contact between Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey, but also completely eliminate the worries, when the time comes, Germany can concentrate on dealing with France and Britain, while Austria-Hungary and Turkey can hold off most of the Russian troops, which is extremely obvious for the Central Powers.

The problems that Germany sees, Britain, France and Russia also see, especially Russia, if the situation in the Balkans is calmed down, his desire to reach out to the Mediterranean Sea is simply impossible to achieve, and even Turkey and Austria-Hungary join forces, which will directly threaten his oil town of Baku and the Black Sea coast, which is no less than a needle prick in the back for Russia, which can never be accepted, so he does not hesitate to go into battle shirtless.

Soon, the Russian Turkish Front, with 12 divisions of troops, began to approach the Turkish border, and in the face of Austria-Hungary, the same was true, with 9 divisions and more than 300,000 troops mobilized, and in Russia, there were no less than 20 divisions of troops gathered, and the power of the European steamroller was fully displayed. As for Britain and France, some of the cutting-edge battleships were urgently mobilized to the Mediterranean, a total of 2 Orions and 2 Lion-class, and the remnants of the previous fleet in the Mediterranean, together formed a powerful battleship fleet, approaching the Dardanelles Strait and threatening Turkey.

This is the current capital ship of the British Navy, the larger super battleship Queen Elizabeth class has not yet been launched, let alone fully completed, their arrival has made the situation in the Mediterranean Sea unprecedentedly tense, especially Turkey, in the face of the strong British and French navy, can only close the Turkish Strait, dare not go to sea to fight.

The tension between the two blocs has risen countless times in a short period of time, and the entire European countries are immersed in the clouds of war, and any wind and grass will trigger the outbreak of war.

It is impossible for the northwest not to pay attention to such a big scene, and it is impossible not to know that all kinds of intelligence have been continuously gathered to the rear, and the intelligence officers on the front line have all held top-secret radio stations and kept sending back the progress of the war.

Yang Yuanzhao at this time, it is impossible to get stability, many of his arrangements, are based on the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914, can be advanced, but the earliest can not be advanced to the beginning of 1914, now there is still more than half a year away, at this time the northwest in the material, in terms of production capacity, has been quite prepared, but in the military, far from the final preparations, the northwest and China, not yet fully prepared to deal with the First World War.
