Alexander I insisted on provoking a dispute at this time, and he would not care about face. Serbia wanted to blackmail Bulgaria, so Alexander I directly chose to declare war on Serbia.

A warning from the Austro-Hungarian diplomatic ambassador to Bulgaria? Inexistent.

At this critical moment on the cusp, Bulgaria is tantamount to letting go, he no longer cares about Serbia, Austria-Hungary, or even Russia, Alexander I has only one thought, since the other side wants to force himself to have no way out, he will completely detonate the tension in the Balkans.

The angry Serbian king Milan I directly tore up the war declaration and cursed.

"Damn Alexander I, he didn't play his cards according to the routine. If you want to start a war, you can start a war in the entire Balkans! Do you really have to do this? ”

"The enemy has pressed up, and Serbia cannot retreat. The eyes of the people of the whole country are watching us. ”

Milan I, at this time, regretted taking advantage of the fire, and now reaped the consequences, and the instigated Greater Serbism became the spiritual pillar of the active expansion of the Serbian kingdom, but at certain times when it was time to retreat, this Greater Serbianism became a dangerous stumbling block, leading the whole country into a terrible abyss.

The Kingdom of Serbia has moved from being free from control and expanding its territory to being truly independent and continuing to expand its territory, and more and more people in Serbia believe that the southern Slavs should be united to form a powerful state, in order to get rid of the control of the major powers forever. But in fact, it is always easier to think than to say, the ethnic problem in the Balkans has a long history, and although the culture of the southern Slavic peoples belongs to the same root, after years of development and evolution, it has long been different.

In fact, the Serbs were only inflated by successive victories, and the "unification of the southern Slavs" was only a pretext, and the expansion of territory and spheres of influence and the acquisition of benefits were the things that every country had to do.

And their inflated ambitions have led to the end result that instead of gaining sufficient political benefits, they have dragged their own countries into a dangerous situation.

However, Bulgaria had declared war on Serbia, and the army was moving towards the country, and Milan I, who had no choice but to announce that he would send troops to meet the enemy and stop the Bulgarian army from advancing.

The first war began, and the Serbs paid the price for their miscalculations.

And when the news of the war between the two Balkan states reached Austria-Hungary and Russia, Alexander III immediately smelled an opportunity. He felt it was time to disguise himself as a Bulgarian protector. In the face of the aggressive posture of the Kingdom of Serbia, it resolutely fought back.

Alexander III's teacher, Konstantin's political adviser, began to strongly encourage the tsar to do something out of the ordinary. And to give the Austro-Hungarian Führer and his lackey Karnoki a resolute blow.

"Russia is not afraid of war, and we are ready for it. Now that Germany is trapped on the French front, they have no time to care about the situation in the Balkans, and if they want only an Austro-Hungarian Empire, then I can assure His Majesty the Tsar that we are not too far apart from them. And let's not forget the promise that France had made to us, if Russia could contain Germany, then the colonies that France had promised Germany would be transferred to Russia. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Russia and its expanding territory have been colonized, so why not? Even if a conflict broke out, when the Germans occupied the ruins of France, they had no strength to stop us from advancing. ”

In fact, Alexander III had already decided to join the war when he met with the French diplomatic ambassador, but it was only because of the lack of unity of voice in the domestic political arena that it has dragged on until now. By this time, it was entirely possible to declare war on Austria-Hungary under the pretext that the Slavs were tormented by the Germanic people.

"But if they unite with Austria-Hungary, we will be very passive."

Alexander III said this on the surface, but he actually wanted to test his teacher's attitude. Constantine's ideas were mainstream, and more importantly, his teachers always considered all the situations and left them to the Tsar.

Alexander III did not like to do multiple-choice questions, he only liked to do true/false questions.

"There's no need to worry about that, don't forget that Germany wins France! He also had to face a Great Britain that would not hit Britain hard, because the navy was their foundation. So there was still a contest between the British Army and the German Army. Russia just needs to watch the play. ”

"Your Majesty, I know you have some concerns, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We had never seen a war between France, Germany and England, and we had only come together to stop Napoleon's ambitions of expansion. And now, Europe is fighting for its own interests, what an irony! Now that we can get the largest Warring States at the least cost, it will be easy to return the Second German Empire to the prototype of the Holy Roman Empire, let alone cooperate with the French. ”

Constantine's analysis reassured Alexander III, he felt that the teacher's analysis was very reasonable, France, Britain and Germany would fight to the death, he only needed to sit on the fisherman's profits, and wait until all the great powers in Europe were greatly damaged, that is, the day of the rise of the Russian Empire!

"Okay."

"Mobilize the troops, the General Staff has already drawn up a battle plan, I need the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to say hello to Alexander I and tell him that once a war with Serbia breaks out, Russia will stand on his side with all its strength and spare no effort to support the other side in waging war!"

"If Austria-Hungary dares to prevent Bulgaria from starting a war, then his opponent is not Bulgaria, but St. Petersburg!"

This ambitious Tsar Peter I has finally revealed his ambitions for expansion, and although it has not been long since his father's death, he can't wait to fight the heroes of the European continent.

"And."

Alexander III straightened his chest, and he said to Constantine behind him, "If Joseph I dares to make a move, I will let him die without a place to bury." ”

"The Russian Empire has not yet been afraid of anyone!"
