In the ensuing negotiations, as De Pretis said, in response to Bulgaria's demands, in addition to Serbia and Greece, all parties who were originally just spectators came into play.

But the main one among them was Austria-Hungary and Russia, which exerted all kinds of pressure on Bulgaria, from verbal warnings to blatant explicits, and were eager to push Bulgaria's demands back.

Prime Minister Stambolov, who is the head of the Bulgarian delegation, is even more busy dealing with him, even if he is called the Bismarck of Bulgaria, but he is not the real Bismarck in the end, and Bulgaria's strength is not comparable to Prussia.

Therefore, in the face of pressure from all sides, Bulgaria retreated one after another, and its demands were to retreat from the entire Macedonian region to the north of Macedonia. However, other countries were still not satisfied, and they wanted Bulgaria to take only half of the territory of North Macedonia.

At this time, the representative of Italy came to power, and Prime Minister de Pretis fully supported the Bulgarian demands. Although Italy is still inferior to Austria-Hungary and Russia, it at least gives Bulgaria some confidence.

Italy's support allowed Bulgaria to keep part of the northern Macedonian region, because the Ottomans still retained Kosovo, so they left a passage for them in North Macedonia, of course, as compensation, Central Macedonia carved out a piece of territory as compensation for Bulgaria.

Since Bulgaria's demands were so low, the Serbian and Greek spoilers did not get much, with Serbia only getting the Zlatibor corridor and Greece only getting the Epirus region. Only the Kingdom of Montenegro has not been targeted because of its small size and small demand, and it has taken the Durmitor region adjacent to the country.

Of course, these small countries have taken less, so Italy, as the initiator of the war, must also make appropriate concessions, and the South Twelve Islands have also been given up.

However, Italy's main targets, Albania and the Libyan region of North Africa, were recognized by various countries, and of course, independent Crete was also acquiesced in at Italy's insistence.

In general, this time the requirements of Italy and Montenegro were basically met. Greece and Serbia took the opportunity to expand their territory a little, and Bulgaria only received about a third of Macedonia. The three Balkan countries were not too satisfied, but they had to accept it under pressure from the great powers.

Since the conditions of the countries are unified, the next step is to talk with the Ottomans.

So a week later, it was the same room, and there was one more Ottoman on the negotiating side.

"This is the peaceful conditions of our countries participating in the war, and you two can take a look."

It was Italian Foreign Minister Bacona who spoke condescendingly at the Ottoman delegates, representing the defeated countries, and handed them the peace treaty after the reunification of the countries.

"Besides, that's our last condition? Won't and won't want to change a word. ”

Facing Bacona's words? Harim Pasha and Camille Pasha, who are the Ottoman backstabbers, took over the peace treaty that had been drawn up with a blank face? Start looking at them one by one.

The first is that the countries participating in the war cease all military action.

Two; Unless otherwise specified? All military movements in the warring zones of Macedonia, Thrace, Kosovo and other areas are to cease, with the exception of those necessary for provisions, administration and local security.

Three; The Ottomans ceded Libya, Albania, North Macedonia (except Skopje), Kochani and Stepmitsa in Central Macedonia, the Zlatibor Corridor, Durmitol? to other countries participating in the war. In addition Crete became independent.

Four; The Ottomans had to withdraw all military and religious personnel from the outlined areas, and local officials could wait for them to receive state mandates? Withdraw again.

Five; Also taking into account factors such as ethnicity, religion, etc.? People in these areas have three months of free choice, and they are free to choose the country they want to go to, and the new government in the region cannot stop them by means of threats and intimidation.

Six; In addition, in view of the large losses caused by the war in the region, 60 million Ottoman lira (less than 6 million pounds) was allocated by the Ottomans as aid funds? Help the local people affected by the disaster to restore their production and life.

Of course, there are also treaties for the exchange of prisoners of war, counting, suffering losses, etc.? These 16-point contracts add up to the results of the London peace talks

As Ottoman representatives, Harim Pasha and Kamil Pasha read very slowly, and asked questions from time to time when they didn't understand. And representatives of other countries? I waited quietly.

But how do you look at it, this will not be seen as a flower? After more than an hour, the two Ottoman delegates finally finished watching.

Wait until then? Camille Pasha then spoke. "We've read your conditions, but we need to send a telegram to Istanbul? Inform them of what is being negotiated. ”

In the face of the words of the Ottoman deputies? Prime Minister De Prettis, who is also the head of the Italian delegation, spoke. "Are you please? It's better to be quick, though. If we know that your country is trying to use this time to make small moves, then the war will continue in the future, and your country's 200,000 officers and soldiers in Macedonia will suffer even more serious consequences. ”

That's right, this is a naked threat. Let the Ottomans know that they still have an army of 200,000 men surrounded by various countries.

Knowing that the other party was a threat, but these 200,000 troops were the work of the Ottoman army, and Camille Pasha, who was the Grand Vizier, could bow his head.

"Rest assured, we will get back to you as soon as possible."

This was the end of this first negotiation with the Ottomans. Of course, none of the countries thought that the other would immediately answer yes. Peace talks, not talking for a month or two can be considered peace talks.

Although this time I don't give the other party a chance to bargain, it will take at least half a month.

Now that the other party is gone, why are they still here? The Italian delegation, represented by Prime Minister De Pretis, took the lead, followed by the Bulgarian and Montenegrin delegations, and the three countries left in style. After the three countries left, the Greek and Serbian delegations looked at each other and got up to leave.

The demands of Italy and the Balkan countries were soon sent back to Istanbul. Of course, Harim Pasha and Camille Pasha did not think that the country would give them instructions, this was just to let the country know the other party's conditions.

Sure enough, in the evening of the same day, a telegram from Istanbul was written with words for them to decide.

Now the two of them don't know what to do.

Negotiations followed, and a week later, the two men signed the treaty.

This is also a relief for all countries, and then as long as the governments sign the peace treaty, it will come into force.
