After Ferdinand abandons the strait strategy and implements the peninsula strategy, the next negotiations will be much smoother.
德国 For the Germans, if the Ottoman Empire can be saved by sacrificing Greece, it is totally acceptable. Now the ruling party of the Ottoman Empire, the Turkish Youth Party, their performance is still very satisfactory to the Germans!
Perhaps the German government also intends to continue its historical practice to help the Ottoman Empire complete internal reforms, train a truly new army to come out, and alleviate the pressure on the Eastern Alliance!
The first thing that happened to complete the negotiations was the Montenegro Kingdom. Because the differences between the two sides were not very large, Megeve took over the request of the Montenegro Kingdom to pay war compensation instead of land cutoff. Of course, the number of compensation also increased slightly.
9 On September 15, 1909, on the behalf of the Prime Ministers of Bulgaria and Montenegro, Metiev signed the armistice peace treaty-the Armistice Treaty of Black Armies, the Montenegro Treaty of the Treaty of Constantinople, under the witness of all countries!
The treaty states that since the signing of the treaty, the two countries officially ended the war; the Kingdom of Montenegro paid a one-time Bulgarian war reparations of 4.8 million pounds, and could accept payment in kind. The shortfall was provided by loans from the allies.
At this point, the Kingdom of Montenegro officially withdrew from the Second Balkan War. After the news came out, Nicholas I, who was far away in Podgorica, was deeply relieved.
Then began a fierce debt repayment career. Don't look at the small number of 4.8 million pounds, which is equivalent to 120 million levs, but for a small mountain country with a population of more than 1.2 million, it is equivalent to carrying 100 columns per capita. Eph's external debt is equivalent to their three-month GDP!
However, in contrast, the Kingdom of Montenegro is pretty good, Romania is a bit hard-pressed, and the Bulgarian army occupied a large area of the city, of course, it is impossible to let go easily.
Bulgarian Minister of Foreign Affairs Metev calmly said: "Well, this is our last condition, Romania:
Either cede Slobozia and Constanta (about 3,000 square kilometers) and pay 6 million pounds of war compensation;
Either cede Craiova and Slatina (about 14,000 square kilometers), you can pay no war compensation!
Either pay 53 million pounds of war compensation in one lump, you can leave the land alone! "
At this time, Romanian Foreign Minister Barnosk can only look forward to the German Foreign Minister Pilov, hoping that the Germans can take the lead for them.
Pilov did not disappoint him and immediately became a peacemaker, saying: "Mr. Metev, your country's asking price is too high, and the Romanian army did not cause much damage to your country in this war.
From the perspective of your country's losses, it will not exceed 3 million pounds, even if you add 10 million pounds in war funding, it is enough!
As a responsible big country, we hope that your country should show its sincerity for peace and not let hate continue! "
Metev seriously said: "No! Mr. Pirov's account cannot be counted like this. Due to the Romanian invasion, we have mobilized 300,000 troops, 260,000 people, and consumed a lot of materials!
Here is our list. Mr. Pirov, can you take a look? What's the problem? "
After saying that Metiev took out a stack of thick documents from the file bag, and there was a chapter statistics table above.
as follows:
Calculated according to Bulgaria's national output value, 750 levs per person per month, consumes 420 million levs per month.
In addition, during the war, we also had to pay for military expenses. Based on the calculation of 150 levs per month per person, the monthly salary of manpower was 84 million levs.
There is also the cost of weapons and ammunition, we calculate an integer 100 million levs.
From the outbreak of the war on July 8th to the present day on September 16, it took 70 days. The total daily expenditure: 42000/30 + 8400/30 = 16.8 million levs
70 days time: 1680 * 70 = 11.7 billion levs, a total of 1.276 billion levs, equivalent to GBP 51.04 million!
After a while, Metiev added: "Yes, there is no calculation of casualty benefits and the panic caused to the people due to the war, which has affected the normal economic operation of Bulgaria. We have not lost this part of it. Count it out.
If you can wait for two or three months, I think this part of the loss has been calculated. We will discuss the compensation again. It should be more accurate! "
I heard Metiev's words, Romanian Foreign Minister Barnosker almost fainted, waiting for two or three months? Calculated at a daily expenditure of 672,000 pounds (16.8 million levs), who can afford to wait?
If you want to calculate war compensation like this, let's talk about it! We definitely signed a peace agreement on the first day. If it did n't happen, the front line would fail.
So July is over. More than 10 million pounds are still within the range of Romania, and now more than 50 million, that is really unaffordable!
Alas, he also knows that this is just an excuse for Bulgaria deliberately, the compensation is fake, and the real purpose is to cut the land!
After all, Bulgaria 's military system was awarded to the field system. Barnosk also heard about it and did not get enough land. So what should the officers and men do?
Well, to the surprise of Barnosk, German Foreign Minister Pilov was silent. Obviously, the conditions proposed by the Bulgarians have come within his range. I hope Romania can accept them!
After all, if you cut the land, the first case is only more than 3,000 square kilometers. This number is really not much, even if you add 6 million pounds of compensation, it is not much.
Moreover, this compensation does not need to be paid directly. As long as the Romanian government is responsible for removing all the 200,000 people on this land, most of it can be offset, and this condition is not excessive!
Romanian Foreign Minister Barnosk thought about it and said, "Please wait a minute, I will send this condition back to China, and wait for the country to make a final decision!"
After speaking, he was deeply relieved. After only paying more than 3,000 square kilometers of land, this war can be ended and the country can be accounted for!
Uh ...
Seeing that Romania also passed easily, the representative of the Ottoman Empire, Smutafa-Asim Bey, was also relieved. There is no Greek representative in the venue. It is clear that the Allies have abandoned Greece this time. He doesn't matter.
Strangling friends do not die poor!
Even if Bulgaria annexed Greece directly, he would not object! Is it an honor for the Greeks to be able to trade Greek interests for Bulgaria's concession to the Ottoman Empire?
Now that the Al-Shabaab of Turkey is in power, how can you explain to the people if you cannot sign a decent peace treaty?
What a pity, now the Ottoman Empire has no strength to continue the war, otherwise the Turkish Al-Shabaab who just came to power will not mind using this war to solve the domestic hidden dangers!
The Romanian representative needs to consult the country, the negotiations still need to continue, and then it is the Ottoman Empire.
He Metev did not go around the corner and said directly: "If your country can provide enough compensation, we can withdraw from the Asia Minor Peninsula, but this compensation must be exchanged for us to accept us!"
Metev's conditions this time surprised Smutafa Asim Bey. This is playing football, what is equivalent?
For the Ottoman Empire, the Asia Minor Peninsula was the most important existence, there was no equivalent at all!
Compensation? Unfortunately, the Ottoman Empire is now very poor. Even if the Turkish Al-Shabaab came to power and issued a copy, these funds are funds for the future development of the Ottoman Empire. It is simply impossible to use all of them to pay war compensation!
The most important thing is that during the war, the Ottoman Empire was passive in public opinion from the beginning, and was killed by several idiots. Because of the feelings of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, even the Germans could not help them. excuse!
No doubt, it must be mowing! As for how much and where to cut, Smutafa Asim Bey would not dare to take the decision alone.
"Mr. Mev, this war was provoked by the previous government. We regret it, and we are willing to pay responsibility for it!
Everyone knows that the previous government was a decaying feudal dynasty. The main thing was a group of confused eggs, and they all paid the price for it!
We can't blame ordinary Ottoman people because of a few stupid things, this is immoral! "
Smutafa-Asim Bey decisively chose to dump the pot, anyway, to launch the decaying Sudanese government to take responsibility, there is no problem at all arguing with his and Metev It is better to lower the responsibility directly and win the sympathy of other countries. After all, the image of Turkish Al-Shabaab in the eyes of the public is much better than the Sudanese government.
The most important thing is that behind the scenes of Bulgaria's previous investigations, the black hands are now suspended in the coup. Even if Smutafa-Asim Bey admits it, Metev can no longer demand the surrender of war criminals. It's up!
Facts have proved that Smutafa-Asim Bey's approach is very effective. At least everyone has a milder vision and no murderousness at the beginning!
Metev smiled and said, "Mr. Smutafa-Asim-Bey said very well. Because of this, I can reach the negotiating table. Otherwise, even if we hit Ankara, we will not let the real murderer go. of!
However, the war has already taken place, and your government still bears full responsibility for this war! As for what kind of price should be paid, everyone knows people, there is no need to install garlic!
Now we give you the right of choice, isn't it our greatest sincerity?
If we want to give up the Asia Minor Peninsula, then your country must cede an equivalent piece of land to us, or pay equivalent currency as war compensation!
We accept all currencies such as Lev, British Pound, Franc, Mark, etc., of course, lira is okay! "
