Chapter 118: Serbia

　　 The Chancellor of Finance had an idea and thought of a clever plan, saying: "If this is the case, can we recruit civilian weapons? Whether it is a shotgun or a rifle, equip the soldiers first. No matter how bad it is, it is better than empty hands!"
　　Good fellow, in a while, the weapons and equipment of the 200,000 army will be available! Fortunately, the Minister of War is also a civil servant, and his military level is only half a bucket of water, otherwise he will definitely be angry!
　　 A bunch of messy equipment, just logistic supplies can crash people! !
　　Alexander I nodded in satisfaction, and finished the weaponry so quickly! He seemed to have seen the 300,000 Serbian army approaching Sofia.
　　 The Minister of Finance interrupted his YY, and said with a wry smile: "Now that the weapon problem is solved, do we want to go where to get money? A 300,000 army, it's not something we can afford!"
　　 It’s okay not to mention military spending. When it comes to military spending, everyone gets a headache. In the past to suppress the rebellion, military spending accounted for 80% of government spending. Now that the army has doubled at once, where do you get the money? ?
After pondering for a while, the pro-Austrian Prime Minister Radomen Bović gritted his teeth and said cautiously: "A war with Bulgaria is a last resort! Now we should consider using diplomatic means to ask the Austrian Empire to intervene. , Even if it pays a certain price, it is better than a direct war with Bulgaria!"
　　 His opinion was immediately supported by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and he prepared for the war, but he could not fight, or it would be better not to fight!
　　 It's okay to say that I won, but what about failure? How to do? Or if the war is deadlocked, what should Serbia do?
　　 He thought badly, if Serbia really mobilized, maybe Bulgaria would be the happiest! You don't need to do anything, and if you drag it for a few months, finances can drag Serbia into the abyss!
　　 If Ferdinand knows what he thinks, he will definitely say, bosom friend! That's right, originally this time is to weaken Serbia's war potential, if he can be worn down without blood, he will not mind!
　　 "The Prime Minister is right! We can't really fight it now, we must settle down first! The domestic rebellion has not been resolved, it is really unwise to go to war with Bulgaria blindly!"
　　At this time, the Minister of War quit, and the Serbian military is not easy to provoke. If they interrupt their army expansion, the Minister of War will end up!
　　 "No! Bulgaria may attack at any time. We must prepare with all our strength. If we rely on diplomatic means, we will be killed if we fail!!
　　Don’t forget that Bulgaria has already formed an alliance with Russia. If Russia comes forward to drag the Austro-Hungarian Empire, we still have to deal with Bulgaria alone! "
　　 Alexander, who was a little moved, hesitated again, what everyone said could happen, making it hard for him to choose!
　　"What does the Minister of Foreign Affairs think, how likely is it that Austria-Hungary will intervene? What is the attitude of other powers? And Romania, the Ottoman Empire, is it possible to stand on our side this time?" Alexander I asked expectantly
　　 The minister of foreign affairs who was named, knew that he could not hide this time, and said with a wry smile: "The attitude of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is very warm now. It has not clearly expressed support for us. It reminds us to strengthen our preparations!
　　 The Germans and the British both expressed their hope to maintain the status quo, but they would not directly intervene! The French and Russians have not yet expressed their views. The Russians are now Bulgaria’s allies. Even if they do not support them, they cannot support us!
　　Romania, Carol I made a move. When the attitude of the Russian Empire was unknown, they did not dare to do anything, but they agreed to sell us a batch of weapons at a low price! The Ottoman Empire is now busy dealing with the Armenian issue, and hope we can fight! "
　　 Alexander I dissatisfied, said: "This is the effort of your Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Can you not find an ally?"
　　 "Yes, I'm sorry, Your Majesty the King!"
　　 The Minister of Foreign Affairs said lightly, but in fact he was scolding his mother in his heart. What kind of joke, is it my cause of the current situation?
　　 Had it not been for the earlier period, would this happen because of the conflict with Austria-Hungary over the issue of loans? ? I don't know who it is, every day they call for the establishment of "Greater Serbia", and they don't look at where those sites are?
　　 What's weird about the dissatisfaction of the Austro-Hungarian Empire? Who is the boss and who is the younger brother, such a principled question, I have not figured out! Now I need a hello, if Austria-Hungary is willing to help!
　　The attitude of other powers is even more normal. When Serbia invaded Bulgaria, wasn't it the same?
　　Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, somehow, also moved Romania, although it is not very reliable, somehow it also supports a batch of weapons, although it is also for money!
　　 Osman, not to mention, we still have a credit for the turmoil in their country? It is not that everyone is not doing nothing to encourage ethnic minorities to make trouble!
　　 By the way, we got an ally! Although it is negligible, it can still be waved!
The Minister of Foreign Affairs said dissatisfied: "Apart from such countries, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Greece is busy fighting with Ottoman to fight the idea of ​​Crete! Montenegro (Montenegro) expressed support for us, strongly Condemn the brutal actions of the Bulgarian government!"
　　 Alexander I just "hum" to show that I know!
　　 A Montenegro, with a population of less than 400,000, almost zero industry, and being surrounded by Ottomans, is powerless even if they want to help. Their attitude can be ignored!
　　Looking at the boyish king, Prime Minister Radoman Bović put a big question mark in his heart. Isn't it very powerful to think about ordinary political struggles? How come your IQ drops as soon as you encounter a major event, even if you shirk responsibility, you must pay attention to your attitude!
　　 After thinking for a while, he said: "If this is the case, then we should prepare with both hands! On the one hand, we will make all-out efforts to expand our arms and prepare for war, on the other hand, we will make diplomatic efforts and try our best!"
　　Radoman Bović did not report any expectations about this war at all. The gloom left to him by the Serbian War nine years ago has not passed yet!
　　 What is the current combat effectiveness of the Bulgarian army, he doesn't know! But he remembered that in the last Serbian War, a group of mobs temporarily mobilized in Bulgaria, in the absence of guns and artillery, beat the regular Serbian army to find teeth! No matter what happens now, it is much better than it was then!
　　 How much has the combat effectiveness of the Serbian army improved compared to nine years ago? ? Anyway, he didn't see it, a small rebellion had been tossing for so long, and he said that it was Bulgaria's support!
　　 Even if Bulgaria gave them a few guns, but you are a regular army, you can't beat a few untouchables. Is there any reason for this? ? Resolutely ignored, the Serbian army has been suppressing the rebels to fight the facts!
