Bulgarian Empire

57 Chapter 57

The Second Army advanced triumphantly in the Macedonian region, and the Third Army was not to be outdone. It successively conquered Pristina, Uroshevac, Pecs and other places, and its soldiers pointed directly at Albania.

Nicholas I was in a hurry, the Bulgarians had already reached Albania, Montenegro was still in a stalemate with the Ottomans in Brodareivo, Novi Pazar, Priepolje and other places were still in the Ottomans In the hands of the empire (at the junction of Montenegro and Serbia today, there was a piece of Ottoman territory before the Balkan War, about seven or eight thousand square kilometers), and Albania in the southeast was blocked by Shkoder!

Well, this plane of Serbia is missing, and no one will compete with them for territory. Nicholas I naturally swelled up!

Nate Negro mobilized a total of more than 30,000 troops, and dared to launch an attack in the northeast and southeast at the same time. I have to admire their courage!

But courage is not equal to strength, and although Nate Negro's soldiers are heroic, it is a pity that the number is too small. Especially after the division of troops, each battlefield is somewhat powerless!

The Prime Minister said anxiously: "Grand Duke, it's time to make a decision! The Bulgarians have already entered Albania. So far, we have not made a breakthrough in any direction. If this situation does not change, we will have to deal with the distribution of spoils in the future." You will lose your right to speak!"

Nicholas I sighed, and then said: "I know! It's a pity that such a good opportunity to expand the territory was missed!

After this battle, the Ottomans are destined to withdraw from the Balkans, and Bulgaria is about to rise. Where is the future of Mente Negro? "

The prime minister didn't know how to answer Nicholas I's question, so he bowed his head in silence!

The victory of the Balkan League was originally a good thing for Monte Negro, but the future is not certain!

Bulgaria was too strong this time, and almost used the power of one family to get rid of the Ottomans. Greece and Montenegro just came out to play soy sauce. The balance within the alliance has been broken!

Nicholas I originally planned to move closer to the Greeks to check and balance Bulgaria, but now it is impossible. The performance of the Greeks is too bad, even if the two countries join forces, it will have no effect.

"well!"

Nicholas I sighed and made the final decision!

"Invite the Bulgarians to send troops to Albania, withdraw the first division of Shkoder, and go all out to take down the Ottomans in the northeast!"

"Yes!" The Prime Minister replied unwillingly.

...

After receiving the invitation from Monte Negro, Ferdinand was still in a forced state, so Nicholas I gave up Albania?

Foreign Minister Megev reminded: "Grand Duke, after Mente Negro eats the Zamar area, their territory will more than double. In addition to the already occupied northern Albania, their territory has actually expanded. Twice!

Even if we give them Albania, Monte Negro can't eat it now! "

Ferdinand laughed, hiding his embarrassment. In history, the Kingdom of Montenegro doubled its territory during the Balkan Wars, and they all suffered from indigestion. Now they have doubled in size. If Nicholas I jumped out to compete with Bulgaria for other parts of Albania, he would be out of his mind!

Suddenly Ferdinand had a flash of inspiration. Nate Negro now only has a population of more than 400,000. After the war, their territory will nearly triple, and their population will exceed one million. It is also a threat to Bulgaria's future strategy!

He sneered and said: "Order Major General Ilya Dimitev to attack Albania immediately, and tell him that the population of Monte Negro is too small. As an ally, we should give them a hand!"

Prime Minister Constantine said very cooperatively: "Your Majesty is right, we should help them. Montenegro has only about 400,000 people so far. How can this be done? It is really too small, how can we help them?" 15.6 million is in line with their status!"

Chekov added: "Indeed! But we can't favor one another,

Greece also lost a lot of people in this war and urgently needs to be replenished. We should also help them more, as compensation for their contributions to this war! "

...

Seeing what everyone said was reasonable and well-founded, Ferdinand almost believed it, and had to sigh, "Politicians are all masters of thick and black studies!"

"Okay, let's do as everyone said! Tell the generals on the front line to give them all the extra parts we don't need! Come down and convey your thoughts to the soldiers. We must not be stingy with our allies!" Fei Dinan concluded that

In a few words, everyone resolved the religious and ethnic conflicts that may occur in Bulgaria in the future!

As for what will happen to Greece and Montenegro in the future, Ferdinand has already thought about it, let's mourn for them first!

...

Major General Ilya Dimitev, who had just entered Albania, suddenly received a strange order from the country.

That's right, it's "weird order"! Isn't it weird to help increase the population of Monte Negro? The relationship between Monte Negro and Bulgaria has not been very good!

On the marching road with doubts, he saw countless buildings that were different from churches. Major General Ilya Dimitev seemed to have thought of something, and said to himself: "Could it be for..."

Major General Ilya Dimitev, who had received a modern education, did not like these religious fanatics.

When he was having a headache, the Bulgarian government also sent working groups to Macedonia and Albania respectively to preside over the immigration to Monte Negro and Greece.

If it is all done by the military, Ferdinand doubts what kind of tricks they will play, and Albania will become a no-man's land if it is not good!

Ferdinand's purpose was to expel troubles, not to really increase the strength of the two "allies"! Bulgaria is still very short of population, as long as it can be assimilated, the more the better!

There is no need to describe what will happen next, it is nothing more than coercion and temptation.

...

Half a month later, Ferdinand received the report from the working group and said in disbelief, "What? The immigration work is not going well! You are all a bunch of idiots, don't you guys who have the richest experience in immigration in the world don't understand it well? ?”

Prime Minister Konstantin said embarrassingly: "Grand Duke, many people in Albania are unwilling to move, and the resistance is fierce. In order not to attract the attention of international public opinion, we cannot take drastic actions!"

Ferdinand shook his head and came up with an idea: "Who asked you to do it yourself? Don't forget that there are rebels in Albania who resisted the tyranny of the Ottoman Empire, and bandits who were forced by the Ottoman Empire to become bandits!"

After the window paper was pierced by Ferdinand, the Balkans became more lively. The Bulgarian army defeated the Ottoman army in the front, and a large number of heroes emerged from the rear.

The rebel army in Albania has reappeared again, and they also appeared with the rebel army in Kosovo and the rebel army in Macedonia.

Bandits and bandits from all over the country also came out of the mountains one after another, revenge and complaints!

Due to Bulgaria's limited military strength and the need to fight against the Ottoman army, it is unable to stabilize the region and can only allow local autonomy. The resulting adverse consequences are that the Albanian region has been ruled by the Ottoman Empire for a long time, lacking the foundation of democracy and freedom, and the same as the Bulgarian government. Dime has nothing to do with it.

The above is the official explanation made by the Bulgarian government for the continuous chaos in Albania afterwards!

According to the official data released by the Bulgarian government, the chaos in Albania in 1897 caused at least hundreds of deaths, thousands of injuries, and hundreds of thousands of people displaced. They immigrated to Montenegro and Greece successively!
