Tsarist Empire, Mosk, K-Palace.

Tsar Mikhail was in a very good mood, and even he did not expect that this military operation would be so smooth.

In just half a month, the Russian Empire occupied the entire territory of the Bulgarian Kingdom.

It can be said that they encountered almost no decent resistance.

"Your Majesty, five infantry divisions and one cavalry brigade of the 1st Army have occupied the Kingdom of Bulgaria. All the troops there, having laid down their arms and stopped resisting. Ferdinand I had already fled to Austria-Hungary. Our military operation, already victorious! Admiral Brusilov had a smile on his face.

"Very well, then we can officially annex the Kingdom of Bulgaria. Here, from now on, it will no longer be an independent country, but a province of the empire! Mikhail said.

Although, due to the fact that there was still a Romanian kingdom between the empire and the Bulgarian kingdom. This piece of land is like an enclave. However, Mikhail is confident of holding here.

Moreover, it would become an important stronghold of the Russian Empire in the Balkans. Or rather, a bridgehead.

Next, the Russian Empire would use it as a base to expand into other parts of the Balkans.

For example, the Ottoman region of Rumilia, as well as the kingdom of Serbia, Montenegro, and even the Slavic states controlled by Austria-Hungary.

In that case, the entire Balkan Peninsula would be under the rule of the Russian Empire.

"Your Majesty, neither Austria-Hungary nor the Ottoman Empire will give up. If we want to truly annex the Kingdom of Bulgaria, we must resist their counterattack. Prime Minister Quite Donoschav reminded.

Mikhail nodded, his ambition was not just to take the Kingdom of Bulgaria. If the Ottoman Empire dared to take the opportunity to send troops, then they would have to be prepared to lose the whole of Rumilia.

"We need to strengthen the troops deployed in Bulgaria. The rest of the 1st Army needed to be deployed as soon as possible. In addition, preparations must be made to bring more war materiel there. Of the 14 cavalry brigades directly under the General Staff, 4 were sent as reinforcements. Of the five mountain infantry brigades, two were also reinforced by the past. Mikhail ordered.

In any case, if the Russian Empire wanted to gain a foothold in the Balkans, it would have to win the next wars.

Otherwise, the Russian Empire would have suffered a heavy blow.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Admiral Brusilov answered.

"In addition, the 3rd Army and the 4th Army must also be combat-ready. Once war breaks out, jump into war at any time. Mikhail ordered.

If Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire intervened. Well, the scale of the war will expand.

The battlefield will no longer be confined to the Balkans.

The two sides will fight more fiercely in the Central European Plain and the Caucasus, as well as in the Balkans.

The Russian Empire had to be prepared.

The annexation of the Kingdom of Bulgaria was only the first step in this operation. Next, the defeat of Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire was the most important.

While the Russian Empire was actively preparing for war, Austria-Hungary was also deliberating on the next decision.

Emperor Franz Joseph I, Crown Prince Ferdinand, Prime Minister Mario Webb, Foreign Minister Baron Belchdoldold, Minister of War Duke Casbah, Minister of the Admiralty, General Anton House, Chief of the General Staff Baron Herzendorf and others, all gathered at the palace.

"Your Majesty, the damned barbarians invaded the Kingdom of Bulgaria as their premeditated, or rather long-planned expansion into the Balkans. We had to stop the Russian Empire and drive them out of the Balkans. Here, is our sphere of influence. In the future, it will become our territory! "Crown Prince Ferdinand's attitude is very resolute.

The current Archduke Ferdinand has also served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the army, and his position has undoubtedly been further consolidated.

This made his performance more and more radical in the affairs of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

"Ferdinand I has fled the Kingdom of Bulgaria and fled to the Empire. Their army has already surrendered to the Russian Empire. The Russian Empire had already de facto occupied the Kingdom of Bulgaria. If we are going to stop them. Then, we will break out a big war with the Russian Empire. Prime Minister Mario Webb reminded.

"Fight for war! Our strength is no worse than that of the Tsarist Russian Empire. Even if we go to war, we may not lose to them. Exactly, once we defeated the Russian Empire on the battlefield. Well, we can not only recapture the Bulgarian kingdom, but also annex it directly. It was even able to expand eastward and bite off a piece of fat on the body of the Russian Empire. Archduke Ferdinand's face was full of greed.

He also coveted the huge territory of the Russian Empire, hoping that Austria-Hungary could further expand eastward. It is better to swallow the entire Uklan plain in its entirety.
