Chapter 538: Treaty of Bucharest

The peace talks in the Romanian capital are at the heart of Europe. After a lot of bickering, the countries finally reached an agreement, and Bulgaria negotiated a peace treaty with Greece, Romania, and Serbia.

Speaking of which, the most exciting thing in Bucharest this time is the performance of the Italian side in this talk. In this peace talks, the Italian side showed a zeal that was no less than that of the belligerents, but this enthusiasm was more on the side of the defeated Bulgaria.

For this reason, Crown Princess Mafalda, who had already married Romania, also wrote to Carlo, saying that her husband, Crown Prince Ferdinand, complained in front of her that Italy was so biased towards Bulgaria in this peace talks, and did not know what very attractive terms it had come up with.

In fact, for Romania, Italy's favoritism towards Bulgaria did not affect its benefits much, because Italy basically suppressed the conditions of Serbia and Greece. Even though it has the support of other great powers behind it, Italy has put on a fearless posture.

Given Italy's strength and Bulgaria's intransigence, the Great Powers were reluctant to clash too much with it in this regard.

In fact, this also has a lot to do with Italy's disproportionateness, Italy does not deny the defeat of Bulgaria, and also believes that it should make reparations for the defeat, but Italy opposes making Bulgaria too compensated.

As for the three countries of Britain, France and Russia that support Ceschi behind them, although Greece stands with the British, Britain is unwilling to invest too much energy in the Balkans, since Greece can get benefits, then why fight Italy for the benefit of the Greeks?

As for Russia behind Serbia, although it gave up Bulgaria for Serbia and its interests were in the Balkans, Russia did not pose much threat to Italy.

In addition, although it has chosen to abandon Bulgaria in this war, it does not mean that Russia will take the lead in Serbian interests, and it is still possible if no one stands up for Bulgaria, but this is not Italy standing up. Russia, which was already a little guilty, also took advantage of the situation and no longer demanded too much.

Since the great powers were afraid of Italy's attitude, it was up to the two countries to bear it themselves. The attitude of Serbia and Greece towards Italy is mixed.

Because Italy has a territory bordering it, and Italy has been quite strong in recent years, its words are also very deterrent to the two countries.

In the face of Italy's hard-line attitude, Serbia and Greece also reduced some of their demands on Bulgaria.

The final outcome of the Bucharest peace talks is as follows; First of all, Bulgaria needed to cede 4,000 square kilometers of South Dobroga to Romania.

Secondly, Greece will receive most of South Macedonia, such as the most valuable city of Thessaloniki, which will be owned by it.

As for Serbia, its retention of Macedonia was cut in half. In particular, Skopje, the most important part of Macedonia, is also being ceded.

According to the treaty, Bulgaria lost almost 20,000 square kilometers of territory and almost a million people on the Serbian side, as well as Romania.

The Greeks, on the other hand, received most of the former Austrian Macedonia, the most important of which was Thessaloniki.

Bulgaria is much better than it was in its original history, with at least nearly half of Macedonia remaining, followed by part of the Thracian region.

One more thing to say here is that although Bulgaria is currently negotiating peace with the three countries of Cechiro, there is another country with which Bulgaria is also negotiating, and that country is the Ottomans.

Negotiating with the Ottomans was much more difficult for Bulgaria, first of all, the Ottomans had a strong demand for Adrianople, which was the most important military stronghold to secure its capital, Istanbul. Secondly, both Germany and Austria-Hungary supported the Ottoman needs, for which the German advisory group in the Ottoman army had also participated in the attack on Bulgaria, and more importantly, Adrianople was now in the hands of the Ottomans. In this siege of Bulgaria, the Ottomans fought all the way to Adrianople.

What was lost in the war cannot be recovered in the peace talks. The Bulgarians also understood this, and they were not willing to continue the war with the Ottomans, given the huge losses of Bulgaria at present. Therefore, after some negotiations, Bulgaria decided to use the Merich River as the boundary, with the Ottomans to the east and Bulgaria to the west. And Adrianople is located just east of the river.

The Ottomans also agreed to this condition, in fact, the Ottomans agreed to have a lot to do with their high war losses, before it was beaten by the Greek-Bulgarian coalition army, losing a large number of elite troops, this time besieging Bulgaria with various countries, but with the mentality of picking up a bargain, now it is very good to be able to return to the capital, and then want more, that is not to fight to the death with Bulgaria, first rectify their military strength and then talk about it.

It should be said that al-Shabaab, which is now back in power, has just done a big thing, which is to abolish the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II, and its new sultan will be his brother Muhammad V.

Al-Shabaab also has a deep reason for the abolition of Sudan, which is that the Ottoman Empire carried out a constitutional monarchy reform, and in order to promote this reform, Al-Shabaab pushed Mohammed V, who was more in line with the constitutional monarchy, to power.

After some peace talks, Bulgaria finally reached peace terms with other countries.

In general, Bulgaria suffered no small losses this time, but not without such a serious loss as in history. First of all, Bulgaria received part of Thrace from the Ottomans, and Bulgaria was finally able to vacation in the Aegean Sea, although it still lacked the most important port, Thessaloniki, but now it gained some territory from the Ottomans. Although it is not much, only a few thousand square kilometers, it is better than being cut into pure meat.

Although in a sense, Bulgaria was already very good, but when the peace treaties with various countries were transmitted back to China, the Bulgarian people were completely boiling. For them, the content of the treaty brings with it a wave of anger that needs to be borne by someone.

As the defeated cabinet and the main person in charge of the peace talks, Prime Minister Tkov and Foreign Minister Ivanchev were all traitors. Therefore, a huge march broke out in the capital Sofia, demanding that he step down and apologize. In the face of popular anger, King Ferdinand I accepted it as if he were good.

In fact, when the peace talks were defeated, the Tkov cabinet should have stepped down, but because no one was willing to bear the consequences of the peace talks, they could only let it complete its final mission, and now that the peace talks are over, then the Tkov cabinet should be swept into the garbage heap.

As the anger of the Bulgarian people over the reparations for the defeat was released, they also expressed their gratitude to Italy, which had helped in the peace talks.

Thousands of children in Bulgaria painted a giant banner 300 meters long and 2 meters wide, which was filled with childlike and friendly portraits symbolizing the friendship between the two countries. The giant banner was delivered to the Italian Embassy by Bulgarians and children on their behalf.

To say that Bulgaria has suddenly erupted into a wave of friendship with Italy without a government is to insult the intelligence of others.

As for why the government made such a move, it is actually easy to understand. The Balkan War, which has just ended, has made Bulgaria aware of its diplomatic position. With enemies on all sides, the Bulgarians definitely did not want to come again.

So at this time, it would be beneficial and harmless for Bulgaria to make friends with Italy and restore the relations between the two countries as allies, and it would be necessary to wait for another time if we did not take the opportunity to make a big deal about our friendship with Italy.

And in the face of Bulgaria's overtures, how could the Italian side not accept it. Although the Balkan War was a major loss of strength for Bulgaria, it was exactly what Italy wanted. Italy needs a little brother to help in the Balkans and see its interests.

Therefore, for a series of moves by Bulgaria, the Italian side is also working together, and under the intention of Lang and his concubine, the relationship between the two countries quickly warmed up, and everything is like returning to the era of the alliance in 1890.

As for the rapid warming of relations between Italy and Bulgaria, it can be said that the Russians are the most uncomfortable. Watching the former little brother drift away from him, his heart must be mixed.

But what could be done, when Russia chose Serbia as its ally in the Balkans, it was doomed to a dispute with the Bulgarians.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
