The tsar's decree was quickly carried out, and Russian Prime Minister Gorchakov spoke two days later:

"In order to prevent such a thing from happening again, and in order to protect the security of Russia, we will punish Romania."

The Russian war machine moved with it, and an entire army marched into South Bessarabia at once.

Part of the Romanian soldiers resisted, but were crushed in an instant.

The combat effectiveness of the Russian Army is not very good, but Romania is not much better.

Even this part of the resisting soldiers could not organize an effective counterattack, because the upper echelons of the state had no will to fight.

Those in power are not trying to betray the country, but are looking for effective ways to resist.

Inside the Romanian royal palace at this time.

"Is there really no objection?" Prince Carol I's face was not very good-looking.

Prime Minister Brettianu shook his head: "Not a single one spoke, including the Ottomans, Austria-Hungary and Prussia. ”

Hearing this, Carol's face was even worse, he was a member of the Hohenzollern family, and he asked Prussia for help some time ago, but was ruthlessly rejected by the other party, and he didn't even say a word when it came to the end.

The Ottomans are too, or the nominal suzerainty, and they don't send a single soldier!

When Carol thought badly about the Ottomans, she forgot how Romania had treated the Ottomans all these years.

In fact, it is not that Romania cannot submit to Russia, it is nothing more than a change of suzerain.

But Carol communicated with the Tsar, and the other party was not willing to give them the same autonomy as they did now, apparently settling Romania.

Originally, they should have been able to become independent from the Ottomans in a few years.

If the master is replaced by the Russians, the road to independence suddenly becomes far away......

But there is no way to do it now, it is impossible to promote peace, how many people can little Romania get rid of the Russians? The tsar didn't care at all, only more insane revenge.

"Ugh." Carol sighed: "Let the soldiers stop resisting, and in two days we will personally visit St. Petersburg." ”

At the end of January, Romania, abandoned by the Western powers, surrendered to Russia after a day of fighting.

In this war, which was not officially declared war, the Romanian side lost more than 800 people, and Russia lost more than 600 people.

This incident did not cause much sensation, because anyone with a discerning eye can see that unless two great powers suddenly stand up to defend themselves, it is a sure thing for Romania to change its façade.

Everyone is more concerned about what will happen next after Russia gets the bridgehead to enter the Balkans.

The Russians quickly gave their answer, and they could not wait to sign a treaty of alliance with Serbia without having held tripartite talks with Ottoman and Romania after taking Romania.

You must know that Serbia was still an Ottoman autonomous state at this time, and Russia's attitude shows that they will definitely let Serbia become independent next.

After all, they are both Slavs and have a bit of national identity, and Russia's attitude towards them is still very different from that towards Romania.

Serbia wants to create a Slavic Balkan, that is, Greater Serbia, and Russia also wants to enter the Balkans, which on the surface seems to be conflicting, but in reality it is not.

The two countries, one in the west and the other in the east, had a common desire to weaken the Ottomans and defend against Austria-Hungary.

In the Tsar's pleasure, it would have been better to peacefully evolve Serbia into a homeland, so even if Serbian puppets could be annexed, they did not do so.

In fact, in the mainstream of thinking at this stage, a true hardcore alliance is almost as important as a Dominion.

For example, when Spain ruled the Lowlands, the relationship between the Lowlands and the mainland was more like an alliance.

Russia's move to form an alliance raised concerns among the British, who feared that Russia and Serbia would continue to cede land from the Ottomans.

Britain offered to join the trilateral talks in Russia.

And in order to get things back on track and achieve their goal of provoking contradictions between Russia and Austria, they also invited Austria-Hungary to join.

The trilateral talks became five-party talks, but nothing changed in the end.

The suzerainty of Romania was transferred to Russia by the Ottomans, and Serbia was recognized as independent by the Ottomans.

Although the Ottomans had not yet cut the meat, it was temporary, and from then on Russian power began to be active in Europe again.

Unfortunately, Austria-Hungary behaved very cowardly in this process, obviously not wanting to confront Russia alone, so that Britain punched the cotton, but Gladstone regretted his decision a little.

It is worth mentioning that as the Ottomans once again showed to the outside world that they were "weak and deceitful", there was an undercurrent of court in Istanbul......

Alfonso also learned of the end of the Balkan conflict, which was quite a bit of thunder and rain, mainly because Russia was cowardly at a critical moment, which disappointed Alfonso, who wanted to watch a good show.

This time, not only Russia, but also Austria-Hungary behaved very cautiously, because both countries had taken a big bite, which was considered to be a temporary filling, and naturally did not show too strong aggression.

But the opposition did not care so much, and the weak attitude of Austria-Hungary attracted criticism from Hungary, and they did not dare to point the finger directly at Franz, but aimed at the central government and the Austrian government, accusing them of "taking money and not working, and betraying national interests".

Since Austria-Hungary was indeed the party whose interests were damaged, in order to appease the Hungarians, the Central Fiscal Conference was really convened in advance, a full six years in advance.

By the end of the meeting, Hungary's 30 percent financial obligation would probably be reduced a little, and Alfonso could only say how embarrassed they were.

At the same time, I secretly rejoice that the ethnic composition in Spain is relatively pure, although there are many nationalities, but at least not as different as the Germans and Magyars, and the sense of identity is much easier to shape.

At the same time, the proposal to make Italian a second official language was rejected more firmly.

At the same time, Nasi was picked up from Paris by the Progressive Guard.

It's really not very easy to pick up, because the three emperors insisted that their son bring several carts of belongings, and the goal was too big.

They also don't dare to take the train, because they have so many things to bring and can only charter one train, and the news of the chartered train will definitely be heard by someone who cares, so there is a risk of planting bombs to blow up the tracks.

According to Adolf, they encountered no less than five assassinations along the way, killing and wounding two members of the Progressive Guard and nine members of the French Royal Guard, before they were able to get Nasi out of France intact.

The aristocracy would not engage in such a trick at war with each other, not even the republicans.

But Bonaparte is now provoking the patriotic masses, the workers don't care so much about you, the biggest opposition leader, right? Arrange for someone to do it now!

Hard power can't fight Bonaparte, and it's not easy to set up some ambushes and drop some bombs along the way.

Fortunately, there is no danger on the road to Nasi, no injuries have been suffered, and it has landed in Oviedo at present, and it will be able to reach Madrid tomorrow.
