The conditions proposed by the Far East Allied Forces can be said to be very harsh. First of all, not only does the Ottoman Empire need to surrender and cede territory, but it also has to pay compensation, which can be said to be a loss of face.
But this was a secret meeting, and very few people knew about it. This made Hamid II's mind active. So after receiving the reply from the Ottoman negotiators, Hamid II was thinking about it for a month.
In the buffer time, can I take care of things in the Balkans?
However, as Hamid II readily agreed to the harsh conditions of the Far East Allied Forces, Li Ningyu and others, who should not have been suspicious at first, became alert. However, after some discussions, the Ottoman Empire reached a preliminary armistice agreement with the Far East Allied Forces.
, but at the same time that Hamid II was dispatching troops and generals, the Far East Allied Forces also began to prepare the second echelon of reserve forces.
This time the Ottoman Empire quickly agreed to such conditions, which was completely beyond the expectations of Li Ningyu and others. Not only did the Ottoman Empire completely give up its jurisdiction in the Middle East, it also had to permanently give up Jordan, Syria, Iraq, and Kuwait.
Such a huge loss of land control in other areas, coupled with the payment of 30 million pounds in compensation to the coalition forces.
Therefore, after analysis by Li Ningyu and others, Hamid II was prepared to adopt a slow-down strategy, but you have a good plan, and I have a bridge across the river. Both sides have their own countermeasures, so the Saudi Kingdom first negotiated with the Ottomans
The empire publicly reached and signed a treaty of permanent peace, non-aggression and mutual assistance, which was witnessed by the Far East, Britain, and Germany. It also secretly signed a treaty with the Far East Allied Forces to stop fighting and make peace.
But Hamid II obviously misjudged the next development of the situation, because just when he was preparing to continue recruiting troops at home and heading to the Balkans, a huge coup occurred within the Ottoman Empire, and the newly emerged Turkish Youth Party refused to accept it.
Hamid II's leadership, and vetoed all peace treaties and conditions signed with the Far Eastern Allied Forces.
At the same time, it directly declares war again on the countries of the Balkan Alliance. If any contradiction is intensified, there is only one result, and that is war.
So Bulgaria was represented on one side, and Serbia, Greece, Romania, and Montenegro were represented on the other side, and they jointly fought the second half of the First Balkan War against the Ottoman Empire.
And because the second half of the First Balkan War completely led to the further intensification of international conflicts in Europe, it also directly accelerated the early outbreak of the First World War.
As the conflicts among the countries in the Balkans further deepened, European imperialist powers also emerged one after another, giving them a favorable foundation and opportunity to continue to intervene and control the Balkans with their armed forces. From then on, it also provided a basis for the major imperialist powers in Europe.
The war between the two countries laid an irreparable fuse.
With the full resumption of the Balkan War, the major imperialist powers in Europe have intensified their arms race and recruited a large number of soldiers domestically. They have also accelerated the development and production of various new weapons. The military expenditures of various countries have increased significantly.
This resulted in the military budget of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy on the eve of the war reaching 22 billion marks, while the total military budget of Britain, France, and Tsarist Russia also reached 14.7 billion marks.
At the same time, the world's two major military groups held targeted military meetings and discussed and formulated huge combat plans, striving to preemptively strike at any time.
Among them, the Chief of the Defense General Staff of the German Empire publicly said: "All citizens, our country has prepared everything. For us, the sooner the war comes, the better!"
This has led to the possibility of war among various European countries, but there is still a final balance between them, and that is the Far East Group.
In the first half of the First Balkan War, the Far East Allied Forces played a crucial role, not only containing a large number of Ottoman troops on the southern front, but also completely disrupting all of Hamid II's plans.
The current affairs in the Balkans are no longer a war between the original four allies against the Ottoman Empire. Serbia, which has lost its outlet to the Adriatic Sea, requires the Kingdom of Macedonia, a subsidiary of the Ottoman Empire, to pay a certain amount of compensation. At the same time, Greece
It also sacrificed most of the land that Bulgaria had recovered and achieved the goal of expanding its territory.
And Romania proposed its own territorial claim to Dobroga to Bulgaria. So under the instigation of the Allies, Bulgaria began to gradually take military conflict actions against the Serbian army and the Greek army stationed in the Macedonian area, and the Bulgarian army groups were subsequently blocked by the offensive.
, but the Serbian Army carried out an effective counterattack and successfully broke through the two positions of the Bulgarian Fourth Army. In the end, three days after the first internal conflict battle, Bulgaria was forced to retreat from the Macedonian region.
Although it was just a small conflict between the countries in the Balkans, it invisibly tore up the alliance.
At the same time, European countries are also working hard to win over the Far East, because both the strength of the Far East and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a force that cannot be ignored in the Middle East, are all under the stroke of Li Ningyu's pen, but Li Ningyu seems to
I don’t want to disturb this muddy water, and I have no interest in fishing in troubled waters.
However, the Ottoman Empire unilaterally tore up the previously signed contract, which made Li Ningyu very angry, so the consequences were serious.
Although the tearing up of the contract seemed normal, if other forces tear up the contract with the Far East so easily in the future, everything would be in chaos. So Li Ningyu took the initiative to speak out on behalf of the Far East Group not long after.
.
At this time, the Ottoman troops, who were fighting the Bulgarian Army, had successfully occupied the territory of Edir. Bulgaria also faced the threat of a total collapse without allies. In the end, due to the disparity in strength, it had to declare the uprising a failure.
With the surrender, Bulgaria not only lost most of the Bulgarian territory it had already recovered, but also lost the southern region of Dobroga.
In the second half of the First Balkan War, the final result was the reorganization of the military forces in the Balkan Peninsula. Romania moved closer to the Allied Powers, and Bulgaria joined the Allied camp, but its weight was greatly weakened because of the loss of many territories.
The Kingdom of Serbia doubled its territory, but then the Austro-Hungarian Empire secretly took some measures to the region, mainly to restrain Serbia's expansion, but was rejected by Germany and Italy successively, and these were the first
An important factor in the early outbreak of World War I.
But Germany and Italy unanimously rejected the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and behind this was Li Ningyu’s command, because among the European powers, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was more hated than the Ottoman Empire.
