Although Bulgaria and Italy are under tremendous pressure from various countries, they still need to prioritize the situation on the battlefield. After all, there is a good saying that what you can't get on the battlefield can't get at the negotiating table.

In the city of Pristina, the most important city in Kosovo, the smoke of war has just been dissipated. The 17,000-strong Ottoman defenders surrendered to the Italian army after seeing no hope.

"Your Excellency, please receive my command knife."

The commander of the Ottoman garrison at the time handed his command knife representing power outside the city gates, and behind him was a line of ashen-faced Ottoman officers.

And Colonel Casapa, who was in a good mood, took the command knife with a smile on his face. "Please rest assured that our army will settle your troops in accordance with the Geneva Conventions, and as long as they do not do anything contrary to the treaty, then all their living habits and personal and property safety will be protected."

Hearing Colonel Cassappa's assurance, the Ottoman commander breathed a sigh of relief, his side was demoralized, and it was no match for the Italians. It was also a helpless move to be forced to surrender themselves, hoping that Italy would abide by what they had said.

As for Colonel Casapa, this is not to mention, being able to get the defenders of the city to surrender, which means that Italy has basically mastered Kosovo.

As the first Italian army to storm Kosovo, Colonel Casapa was ready to fight the Ottoman army and then break through the enemy's position.

Unexpectedly, there were no enemies on the way, and when I inquired, I learned that the enemies were all concentrated in the city of Pristina. He also thought that the Ottoman army would fight him to the death here, but when he arrived here, he did not expect that his troops would be greeted not by a rain of bullets, but by an enemy with a white flag.

This kind of opportunity was a surprise for him. After receiving the representative of the other party's surrender, Colonel Casapa, who heard that the other party did not make any excessive demands, immediately decided to accept the enemy's surrender first, so this is the scene just now.

Now that the enemy has surrendered, it is important to take the city from him, and the enemy needs to be guarded.

Under his arrangement, the 1st Brigade and the 2nd Regiment were responsible for the defense of the city, the 1st Regiment was responsible for guarding the prisoners, and the 2nd Brigade was to continue to march towards the border, and they were to be responsible for guarding the border between Kosovo and Serbia after the territorial expansion, in case these people were not in a clear-headed situation.

Of course, the most important thing was to report the good news to the commander of the army group, Colonel-General Kadolna. Colonel Kasapa could not be lazy in this regard, and immediately arranged for a team of heralds to report the good news to him day and night.

Thanks to the efforts of the heralds, the next morning, the news was known to Admiral Cadore. The commander of the Balkan Army, who had just arrived at St. Nicholai, 37 kilometers outside of Skopje, said happily after seeing this telegram.

"The news is so good, it's a heavy blow to the enemy. Immediately inform the whole army of the news and let them know that the enemy is on the verge of collapse. ”

What makes Admiral Kadolna so happy, in addition to the quick settlement of Kosovo, is also the reason why the current battle against Skopje is not going well.

Although the Italian Balkan Army is only responsible for containing the enemy, it still needs to attack the enemy who is holding the place, but the attack is very unsuccessful, and the Balkan Army has launched several attacks, all of which have been blocked by the Ottoman army, and have not been able to make effective progress at all.

This made Admiral Kadolna feel disgraced, but considering that the number of enemies stationed around Skopje was not less than his own, it was better to wait until the rest of the troops arrived. With your own strength, it is difficult to take down the enemy.

The peaceful settlement of Kosovo is excellent news for him.

While the Italian commander, General Cadorna, was rejoicing about this, the commander of the Ottoman army in Skopje, General Yelmaz, was furious.

"They are treason, do you know treason? These cowardly fellows will be judged by morality and law when they return to China in the future, how dare they surrender without firing a shot, how dare they ......"

In his office, Admiral Kadolna let out a roar of rage, his voice still audible through the heavy door. The other Ottoman officers, on the other hand, did not dare to pass at this time, fearing that they would become the target of the angry generals, so they could only wait outside.

At this time, the crowd around was suddenly not separated, and a tall middle-aged man wearing the rank of lieutenant general walked over.

The other officers cracked and breathed a sigh of relief.

"The chief of staff is here, and that's it."

"Yes, only Lieutenant General Emmanuel can appease the enraged lion."

That's right, now it is none other than the current Chief of Staff of the Macedonian Army Group, Lieutenant General Emmanuel. (The Ottoman armies in the Macedonian region were reorganized, and the 1st and 2nd Macedonian armies, as well as the other Ottoman armies in Macedonia, were all reorganized into a super-large army group.) ）

"Hurry up and open the door, I hear you outside the command."

Such a special way of calling the door is also this Lieutenant General Emmanuel, which is why the other officers, can say that he is the only one who can appease this lion.

Sure enough, it did not disappoint the vast number of melon-eating people, and as Lieutenant General Emmanuel called the door, the roar in the room subsided, and then the door was opened and Lieutenant General Emmanuel walked in.

Looking at the mess in the room as if it had been swept away by a typhoon, Lieutenant General Emmanuel couldn't help but ask. "Yo, what's going on?"

Admiral Caddorna, who sat back in his chair, picked up a cigarette and smoked in reply. "It's nothing, I was in a bad mood just now."

"For the sake of Kosovo?"

"What else can I do, I only blame that I don't know people."

Saying this, Admiral Kadolna took a sharp puff and pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray fiercely, as if he was not holding a cigarette butt in his hand, but an Ottoman commander who had surrendered in Kosovo.

Faced with Admiral Cadore's actions, Lieutenant General Emmanuel turned a blind eye and said instead. "None of us want to see this kind of thing, but since it has appeared, then we can only accept it. As I said before, Kosovo is not suitable for the deployment of troops, and although it makes us look like a larger area with room for maneuver, it is actually dividing the army into two parts that are not well connected. ”

Faced with the number of chiefs of staff, Kadolna did not want to talk about this and immediately asked. "So what do we do next?"
