My Italy

As the Italian army moves, Bulgaria and Montenegro, two important allies, are also making preparations.

In Adrianople, a total of 168,000 people from the First, Second, and Third Bulgarian armies gathered here to confront the 210,000 Ottoman army led by the new Ottoman Minister of War Hamad Riza.

That's right, it's a confrontation. Although both sides are very cautious about large-scale decisive battles, they both try to solve each other after gaining an advantage.

On the Ottoman side, the main consideration is that although they currently have the advantage in terms of strength, they have too many new recruits, and a prolonged battle can easily trigger a chain reaction. Although Macedonia still has nearly 200,000 troops besieged, this matter cannot be rushed. If the reinforcements are defeated, they will be even more desperate.

In addition, the Ottoman side also has a little thought, that is, the continuous recruitment of new soldiers in its country. Although the Ottoman mobilization efficiency is not high, the more than 20 million people are not something Bulgaria can compete with. If it takes a little time, their troops will become more and more concentrated. The more, the more, until they have an absolute advantage in strength.

As for the Bulgarian side, it goes without saying that their purpose is only to delay the opponent, not to defeat the opponent. They are willing to wait, because after all, they can get reinforcements from Italy and Montenegro after Macedonia is solved.

So the two sides faced each other in Adrianople while reinforcing their positions, trying to wait for the opportunity. Whether the Ottomans waited until their forces were overwhelmed, or whether Bulgaria waited for reinforcements after Macedonia was solved, it depends on which of the two is faster.

The movements of the Italian Balkan Army fighting in Macedonia are extremely critical. They need to deal with Macedonia's enemies early before they can reinforce the main Bulgarian force and defeat the last Ottoman military force. I believe that at that time, the Ottomans will know how costly it is to break the contract.

Although this task is demanding and time is not sufficient, the three countries still have an unspoken agreement, which is to isolate the Serbian and Greek armies from the war zone.

In the south, the Bulgarian Third Army left a division of troops along the Ariakamonk River to keep the Greek army out of Macedonia. Although this only has the strength of one division, as long as the Greeks are not stupid, they will know that they will not be able to reap the benefits of being involved.

As for the north, the Bulgarian army dispatched from the country has seized the valley section of the upper reaches of the Morava River, isolating Serbia from Macedonia, making it impossible for it to follow this most convenient road to the east of Macedonia.

As for the other passage through Kosovo, with three Italian divisions working overtime to attack, nearly half of Kosovo has fallen into Italian hands. Moreover, Italy has also issued a warning that anyone who is not an Italian army in Kosovo will be ruthlessly attacked. It is self-evident to whom this sentence is addressed.

When Italy and other countries were targeting Serbia and Greece, they did not just give in. Although they did not dare to send troops across the border, they could still do it with a small move in private. This is especially effective when seeking help from the supporting powers behind it.

"Your Majesty Carlo, our country is deeply puzzled by your country's practice of excluding Serbia and Greece from the war. Whether your country's approach in this matter is appropriate, please consider it carefully."

In the palace in Rome, the British Ambassador to Rome Fulam expressed Britain's dissatisfaction to King Carlo with a serious face.

Facing the British challenge, Carlo, the King of Italy, smiled and said. "That's it, Your Excellency Ambassador. Since Italy and Sechi have not had much contact before, when faced with Osman's sudden repentance, we must let him know the consequences of his repentance as quickly as possible. So we can only use The plan was drawn up before. Since the two countries are willing to contribute to this, I will ask the military to formulate a plan for the two countries to participate. Once we have the plan formulated, we will send it to the two countries.”

Carlo's words are obviously shirk. When the plan is formulated, the war will probably be over. What else will happen between the two countries at this time?

So when faced with Carlo's words, Ambassador Fulam said directly after sighing. "Your Majesty, there is no need to bother. As long as your country agrees to send troops from Serbia and Greece, they will obey your command. After all, your country has no disputes with them and still maintains goodwill towards Italy and Italy."

For Ambassador Fulam to say such a thing, the two countries were anxious. Although the two countries took some advantage in the first phase of the war, as the war resumed, the two countries were directly excluded from the war. This means that they have no chance to speak at all in the subsequent negotiations.

So in order to get an excuse to get to the negotiating table in the future, they would rather put their troops under Italian command.

However, in the face of the requests from Serbia and Greece, Carlo was not interested at all. No matter how good Italy is to these two countries, it can be compared to Britain and Russia behind it. In this case, why should they offend Bulgaria, which is currently performing very well?

So faced with Ambassador Fulam's words, Carlo didn't answer. "Please wait until I discuss this with the military before I can give an answer to this question. After all, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and I need to respect the military's opinions."

This was another word of evasion. After seeing that the Italians were not willing to intervene between the two countries, Ambassador Fulam could only do nothing about it. Who is to blame for the Ottomans themselves? The British Empire negotiated such generous terms for them, but they were so ignorant of their painstaking efforts.

Now unless the British Empire intervenes directly, this war will inevitably end in Ottoman defeat. But why did the British Empire intervene? It was to prevent Russian forces from entering the Mediterranean, but now? In order to prevent Ottoman from losing too much blood, the British Empire had already intervened once, and it was impossible to do it again. The British Empire's face was not so easy to betray.

If the Greeks hadn't begged for help this time, Ambassador Fulam might not have paid a visit. It's all the damn Ottomans' fault, especially those ignorant and ignorant al-Shabaab.

After seeing off the British ambassador, Carlo couldn't help but smile. This sudden move by the Ottomans made the countries running for him so angry that they wanted to hit them, but this was a good thing for Italy. This kind of thing is rare to come across, so this was an unexpected surprise.

Just when Carlo was lamenting this great opportunity for Italy, the captain of the guard, Filmicchi, hurried in with a telegram.

"Your Majesty, this is a secret message from Istanbul. Someone is secretly selling a batch of arms to the Ottomans."

"What?"
