Greece’s Roman Road
Chapter 169: War in Macedonia
Seeing that the situation in the Balkans might collapse, the foreign powers exerted diplomatic pressure on Bulgaria, severely reprimanded Bulgaria's actions, and at the same time instructed the Ottoman troops stationed in Macedonia to eliminate the Macedonian rebels.
The Ottoman government mobilized a superior force of 30,000 people to attack the land occupied by the insurgents.
After all, the insurgent army was not a professional soldier, and the number was too different from the Ottoman army, which caused the insurgent army to collapse at a touch.
At a critical moment, the commander of the insurgent army sent a letter code-named 543 to Bulgaria, requesting immediate armed intervention.
Due to pressure from various countries, Bulgaria did not dare to take the risk of the world and openly sent troops into Macedonia.
After the rebel army asked the main messenger, Bulgaria for help, there was no news, the "Kruvorshe Republic" only existed for ten days, and it came to an end.
The Ottoman army carried out brutal revenge on the areas and villages involved in the uprising. More than 200 villages were burned down, more than 4,000 people were killed, and about 30,000 refugees fled to Bulgaria.
Obviously, Bulgaria's test was obviously ineffective.
After the robbery, after informing Greece of the specific situation of the uprising, as the chief intelligence officer of the Macedonia region, Kulos visited the Greek consulate in Thessaloniki.
When I came to the office of Consul Mioaris, I happened to meet Demetrius, a wealthy Greek businessman, and was complaining to Mioaris: "Mr. Consul, the Macedonia area is very chaotic now, murder and robbery have become commonplace, especially It's a businessman like me, and I'm even more frightened. Everywhere I go, there are people watching."
These days, the well-known and wealthy businessman Mio Aris has been worried all day long. Every day, people come to the door to extort money and threaten his life.
"Mr. Consul, for God's sake, can you take some measures to provide security for us Greeks?" Mioaris said with a bitter face.
Seeing Kuros come in, Mioaris invited him to sit down with him.
"Kulos, a decision has been made in China to increase the penetration of Macedonia. You are the chief intelligence officer, but some are busy," Mioaris said to Kulos.
"The government has decided to set up the "Greek Macedonian Council" in Macedonia, which will be responsible for fighting against Bulgaria's expansion in Macedonia and at the same time protecting the lives and property of Greeks in Macedonia.
"Will this be too risky? If it is discovered, it will cause a diplomatic dispute." Kuros said in surprise when he heard the bold decision to directly use the Thessaloniki consulate as the headquarters.
"I visited Hassan Pasha before and he suggested that Greece could increase its volunteer presence in Macedonia and that the government of Thessaloniki could remain neutral so that we could distribute supplies and treat the wounded through the embassy," Mioaris said. .
"That's what I said, in fact, I want us and Bulgaria to fight against each other, to consume and contain each other's strength."
Chloe nodded when he heard the words, that's fine. Many things that could only be done secretly can now be done in an open and honest way.
"Then the cost?" Chloe said.
Volunteers are easy to find. Whether in Greece or in Macedonia, there are many people who are willing to fight for Greece, but the funding is not easy to solve. After all, to be volunteers, they can’t be asked to pay for themselves, which is unreasonable.
Hearing the word "funding", Demetrius, who had been listening, was moved and said, "Two gentlemen, if you have financial difficulties, I can provide some funding, but I would like to ask you to send some professional personnel. , to ensure the safety of those of us who have to stop in Macedonia for businessmen"
When Demetrius came to the embassy this time, he wanted to seek assistance. Hearing that there were difficulties in funding, he planned to donate generously.
Hearing this, Mio Aris, who was also struggling with funding, was very happy: "Mr. Demetrius is a noble patriot."
Although Greece's fiscal revenue has increased year by year in recent years, because the government has to take care of all aspects: land reclamation and immigration, construction of railways and highways, repayment of foreign debts, etc., its finances have never been ample.
With the encouragement of the government, a group of Greek soldiers will soon take off their uniforms and go to Macedonia.
After hearing that his problem was resolved, Demetrius said goodbye with interest, understanding that it was not appropriate for him to be a businessman in the presence of intelligence matters.
After seeing Demetrius leave, Kuros said: "Actually, I am here this time, and I have another situation to report to you, Mr. Mioaris, you also know that due to the failure of the Ottoman military attack, the IMRO organization Divided, we can attract some IMRO fighters to join us," Kulos suggested.
IMRO lost confidence in Bulgaria after the defeat because the Bulgarians watched from the sidelines.
"As long as you can increase Greece's power in Macedonia, you can do it." Mioaris granted Kuros full rights.
"For the upcoming Greek-Macedonian Committee, your intelligence support is very important, Kuros, be sure not to slack off."
"At the same time, Crown Prince Constantine specifically asked me to instruct you, Kuros, that your intelligence work should expand into Macedonia, for example, Skopje," Mioaris said meaningfully.
Skopje (near the capital of the Republic of North Macedonia) is an important city in northern Macedonia. The Kingdom of Serbia has always had plans here, and the crown prince deliberately expanded the intelligence work to Skopje. What does it mean?
"Will the fighters of the Greek Macedonian Council also enter North Macedonia? Will this conflict with Serbia?" Kulos asked in surprise.
It's hard enough to deal with Bulgaria alone, and now you have to deal with Serbia?
After the uprising in Macedonia~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Serbia also joined the upsurge of fighting for Macedonia. Armed personnel belonging to Serbia are more active in Kosovo and North Macedonia.
"The country is instructed to do so, we will do it"
With the support of the wealthy businessman Demetrius, Greek armed men also entered Macedonia in large numbers to fight for the great cause of the Greek nation.
........
In the Tatoi Palace, Constantine is discussing the situation in Macedonia with Prime Minister Alexandros.
"The attitudes of all countries are very firm. In order to maintain the stability of the situation in Europe, the major countries must also maintain the status of the Ottomans in Macedonia," Alexandros said.
"The situation in Europe is complicated. Austria-Hungary will do its utmost to support the Ottoman Empire's rule in Macedonia. Serbia and Bulgaria, the two Slavic countries, are all close to Russia. Once the situation in Macedonia changes, it will mean Russia's power in the Balkans. expand"
"And Germany, in order to appease its ally Austria-Hungary, will definitely stand on the side of Austria-Hungary. Britain and France also do not want to see the Slavic forces entering the Mediterranean."
"That is to say, in a short period of time, despite the fierce competition among the three countries in the Macedonia region, the overall situation will still not change?" Constantine said.
That's fine, it's best for Greece.
