Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Alexander I just wanted to say that the baby is suffering! The last time his father went against Austria-Hungary's wishes and launched a war of defense against Serbia. After the defeat, he asked for peace. Austria-Hungary stepped in to help, but he still lost the throne!

The situation now is much worse than it was then. After all, Bulgaria was not much better than Serbia at that time, and the country was a mess!

If you want to pass the border this time, you can't do it without paying the price! The King of Milan is in Serbia, and he still has a group of supporters. After being forced to abdicate, he can push Alexander I to the throne!

He was miserable. As soon as he took over, it was a mess. He caught up with the civil war as soon as he took control of the government, and just after the country was settled, the Bulgarians fought again!

For Serbia to choose the worst king, he is definitely the strongest contender!

Although Alexander I was young, he was not ignorant. A series of blows had told him that he was not a genius!

Before thinking about it, in order to cater to the people's desire for a great country, the slogan of Greater Serbia was shouted, and then I knew that the tragedy was doomed!

A king who wants to unify the Balkans may be welcomed by the Serbs, but the Austro-Hungarian Empire will never tolerate it!

Alexander said with a wry smile: Your Excellency Prime Minister, do you think we still have a choice?

...

When the Serbian government decided to ask Austria-Hungary for help, it was too late!

The Niš area war has started, Suborovvic's desperate attack finally tore the defense line, the Serbian army poured in like a flood, and the disaster began!

Petrov, the Bulgarian chief of staff, personally led three new divisions, and quietly rushed to the battlefield under the cover of night. The strength of the Serbian army is no longer obvious!

Breaking through the Serbian army, before we could celebrate, we were greeted with a feast of artillery fire!

After a short rest, Petrov took the reinforcements and quickly plunged into the battlefield to plug the gap in the defense line!

The Serbian army was thus separated, and Subolovvic knew that the tide was over! The main force has fallen into the trap of the enemy!

He commanded the remaining troops in his hand and launched a violent attack, trying to rescue the main force that was besieged!

Dante Christophe is not stupid, how could such a thing happen? I directly chose on-site defense, and with the advantage of firepower, I waited for the Serbian army to come up and die!

For the enemy forces in the encirclement, they are not in a hurry to attack, just use artillery to harass them constantly!

The war was stalemate until the third day, and the intensity of the fighting between the two sides was getting lower and lower. Suborovich knew that there was no hope of rescuing the main force!

During the attack, the troops carried limited supplies, and the battle lasted for two days. Now the troops inside are almost out of ammunition and food!

In the city of Nis, Suborovich made his last patrol, returned to the headquarters, and gave the last order: Appoint Kuristreich as the temporary commander-in-chief, and the entire army retreats to Belgrade!

Taking a look at the map of Serbia, Suborovic committed suicide by detonating a bomb! Declared the Armageddon of Niš and ended with Serbia's total defeat!

Knowing that they were abandoned, the Serbian army, which had fallen into the encirclement, finally couldn't bear the pressure and collapsed!

So far, the decisive battle in which the two countries have invested 300,000 troops has come to an end!

After the news came out, the world was shocked!

From the outbreak of the war to the present, the Bulgarians have invested more than 200,000 troops, and Serbia has invested 380,000 troops!

The biggest decisive battle in the Balkans since the Crimean War was decided in just over a week!

The Maxim machine gun shines on the battlefield! Dante Kristof resisted the siege of more than 200,000 Serbian troops with the strength of three divisions, and Mark Qin made a great contribution!

The news reached Bulgaria,

National celebration! The victory came too suddenly. From the declaration of war to the present, in just a week, Serbia was defeated across the board!

Ferdinand has not paid attention to the following wars. The battles are all about this. If the Serbs can come back, they are really the sons of destiny!

The next step is to negotiate. Ferdinand asked: Prime Minister, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is about to intervene! Now is the time to collect the payment. What is the opinion of your cabinet?

Constantine said with a red face: Your Excellency, Serbia is over, this time we have to make them pay a heavy price! My cabinet believes that Serbia should cede all the land south of the Morava River to us and pay three war reparations. Billion levs!

Ferdinand smiled and asked, Will the Austro-Hungarian Empire agree?

Serbia's attitude can already be ignored. Ferdinand's problem has brought Constantine back to reality. Bulgaria now needs to negotiate with the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

Of course, it would be better if Austria-Hungary could agree! Even if they annexed Serbia, we could support it! Ferdinand added.

He really hopes that the Austro-Hungarian Empire has the determination to annex Serbia! After all, there are enough ethnic conflicts in Austria-Hungary now. If you add another Serbia who is good at killing people, it will be even more lively!

The smile on Konstantin’s face gradually disappeared, and dividing Serbia with Austria-Hungary is theoretically feasible, but practically impossible!

Serbia at the end of the 19th century, the land area only included the central part of what is now Serbia! To cede all the territory south of the Morava River, which is equivalent to one-third of the land area of ​​Serbia!

Constantine said hesitantly: Your Excellency, if we negotiate with Austria-Hungary, it is estimated that it will be difficult for us to gain much! Can we ask the Russian Empire for help?

Ferdinand smiled and said, I know the Austro-Hungarian Empire better than any of you!

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs first approached the hawks of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, especially those who advocated the annexation of Serbia! After all, a weak Serbia is convenient for them to start. We have a common topic on this point!

There is also - public relations, use all available relationships to give gifts to those big nobles, even if you can't let them speak for us, you must fight for their neutrality!

Everyone was dumbfounded, isn't this a blatant bribery? However, for Ferdinand's proposal, everyone admires it in addition to admiration!

It is difficult to say about other empires, but there are really few problems that the Austro-Hungarian Empire cannot solve with money. Who told him that there are many interest groups? The interests of the country will never compare to the interests of the group!

At least the Hungarians are interested in Serbia, but they hope that Hungary will annex Serbia, not another Serbia in the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

The Austrians' proposition is different. It is impossible for them to annex Hungary directly. It seems like a good choice to have another kingdom of Serbia!
