My Italy

The peace negotiations taking place in the Romanian capital affect European countries. After several countries' constant wrangling, they finally reached a consensus, and Bulgaria negotiated peace treaties with Greece, Romania, and Serbia.

Speaking of which, the most pleasing thing about this time in Bucharest was the performance of Italy in this negotiation. In this peace negotiation, Italy showed an enthusiasm that was no less than that of the participating countries, but this enthusiasm was more on the side of the defeated Bulgaria.

For this reason, Crown Princess Mafalda, who has married to 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 negotiation, and she did not know what she had come up with. What a very tempting offer.

In fact, for Romania, Italy's preference for Bulgaria does not have much impact on the benefits it should obtain, because Italy basically suppresses the conditions of the two countries. Even though there is support from other major countries behind it, Italy shows a fearless posture.

Considering the strength of Italy and the tough attitude of Bulgaria, the major powers are not willing to conflict with it too much in this regard.

In fact, this has a lot to do with Italy's measure of proportion. Italy does not deny Bulgaria's defeat, and also believes that it should compensate for the defeat, but Italy opposes Bulgaria's excessive compensation.

As for the three countries of Britain, France and Russia that support Sisi, although the British are on the side of Greece, the UK is unwilling to invest too much energy in the Balkans. Since Greece can get benefits, why should it fight with Italy for the interests of the Greeks?

As for Russia behind Serbia, although it gave up Bulgaria for Serbia and its interests are also in the Balkans, Russia does not pose much of a threat to Italy.

In addition, although it has chosen to abandon Bulgaria in this war, it does not mean that Russia will lead with Serbian interests. It is still possible if no one stands for Bulgaria, but isn't this Italy taking a stand? Russia was already feeling a little guilty, so it took advantage of the situation and stopped being too demanding.

Since the major powers are wary of Italy's attitude, they can only let the two countries bear it on their own. The attitudes of Serbia and Greece towards Italy are mixed.

Because Italy has territory bordering it, and Italy has been quite powerful in recent years, what it says is also very deterrent to the two countries.

In the face of Italy's tough attitude, the demands made by Serbia and Greece on Bulgaria have also been reduced.

The final results of the Bucharest peace talks are as follows; First, Bulgaria needs to cede 4,000 square kilometers of southern Dobroga to Romania.

Secondly, Greece will obtain most of Southern Macedonia, such as the most valuable city of Salonika.

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

According to this treaty, Bulgaria lost nearly 20,000 square kilometers of territory and nearly one million people in Serbia and Romania.

As for Greece, it received most of the former Austrian Macedonia, and the most important Salonika was also placed under its ownership.

Compared with the original history, Bulgaria has been much better, at least nearly half of Macedonia has been left, followed by part of Thrace.

One more thing to say here is that although Bulgaria is currently only in peace talks with the three Sehirro countries, there is another country that is also negotiating with Bulgaria, and this 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 ensure its capital, Istanbul. Secondly, both Germany and Austria-Hungary support the Ottoman demands. For this reason, the German advisory group in the Ottoman army has also participated in the attack on Bulgaria. More importantly, Adrianople is currently in the hands of the Ottomans. In this siege of Bulgaria, the Ottomans fought all the way to Adrianople.

What is lost in war cannot be regained in peace talks. Bulgaria also understands this truth, and considering Bulgaria's current huge losses, they are unwilling to continue fighting with the Ottomans. Therefore, after some discussions, Bulgaria decided to use the Merici River as the boundary, with the east belonging to the Ottomans and the west belonging to Bulgaria. Adrianople is located just east of the river.

The Ottomans also agreed to this condition. In fact, the Ottomans' agreement had a lot to do with their high battle losses. They were defeated by the Greek-Bulgarian coalition forces before and lost a large number of elite troops. This time they besieged Bulgaria with other countries, but they were holding on to pick up a few. With a cheap mentality, it's good to be able to get some money back now. If you want more, you don't have to fight Bulgaria to the death. Let's rectify your military strength first.

One more thing to say here is that the Ottoman Youth Party, which is currently back in power, has just done a major thing, which is to depose the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II, and its new sultan is his brother Mohammed. V.

There is actually a deep-seated reason why Al-Shabaab carried out the dethronement of the Sudan. The reason is that the Ottoman Empire carried out constitutional monarchy reform. In order to promote this reform, Al-Shabaab brought Mohammed V to power, who was more in line with the constitutional monarchy. .

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

In general, Bulgaria suffered a lot of losses this time, but it was not as serious as in history. First of all, Bulgaria obtained part of the Thracian region from the Ottomans, and Bulgaria can finally vacation in the Aegean Sea. Although it still lacks the most important port of Salonika, it has now gained some territorial compensation from the Ottomans. Although it's not much, just a few thousand square kilometers, it's still better than being cut off.

Although in a sense, Bulgaria was already doing very well, when the peace treaties with various countries were spread back to the country, the Bulgarian people were completely boiling. For them, the content of the treaty created a rage that needed to be shouldered.

As the defeated cabinet and the main persons in charge of the peace talks, Prime Minister Turkov and Foreign Minister Ivanchev were all traitors. Therefore, a massive demonstration broke out in the capital Sofia, demanding that he step down and apologize. Faced with the anger of the people, King Ferdinand I accepted the decision as he should.

In fact, when they were defeated and sued for peace, the Tekov cabinet should have resigned. However, because no one was willing to bear the consequences of the peace talks, they could only be allowed to complete their final mission. Now that the peace talks are over, the Tekov cabinet should be dismissed. Sweeped into the trash.

As the Bulgarian people's anger over the compensation for the ceded territories after the war was released, they also expressed their gratitude to Italy for its help in the peace talks.

Thousands of children in Bulgaria drew a giant banner three hundred meters long and two 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 Bulgarian people and children, who received it on their behalf.

To say that there is no government behind Bulgaria's sudden wave of friendship with Italy is to insult other people's intelligence.

As for why the Bulgarian government made this move, it is actually easy to understand. The Balkan war that has just ended has made Bulgaria realize its diplomatic situation. With enemies on all sides, the Bulgarians definitely don’t want to do it again.

So it is beneficial but not harmful to Bulgaria to make good friends with Italy and restore the relationship between the two countries like allies at this time. If we don't take the opportunity to publicize our friendship with Italy at this time, why wait for another time?

And in the face of Bulgaria's overtures, why wouldn't Italy accept it? Although this Balkan war greatly damaged Bulgaria's strength, it met Italy's needs. Italy needs a little brother to help look after its interests in the Balkans.

Therefore, Italy was also fully cooperating with Bulgaria's series of actions. With Lang Youqing's intention, the relationship between the two countries quickly heated up, and everything seemed to have returned to the era of the alliance in 1890.

Regarding the rapid warming of relations between Italy and Bulgaria, the Russians are the ones who feel the most uncomfortable. Seeing my former younger brother drifting away from me, I must have mixed emotions in my heart.

But what can be done about this? When Russia selected Serbia as its ally in the Balkans, it was destined to have disputes with the Bulgarians.
