Vol 2 Chapter 1: , The end of the war


   On November 16, 1894, the helpless Serbian government finally compromised. The Foreign Minister in Vienna reluctantly signed the treaty!
   At this point, the second Bulgarian war ended with Bulgaria's complete victory!
  The treaty stipulates:
   1. Serbia acknowledged the defeat of the war and took full responsibility for this war;
   2. Hand over the main war criminals in the First Bulgarian War;
  3. Ceded Serbia to the south of the Moraval River, including Niš, about 18,000 square kilometers of territory to Bulgaria;
  4. To pay the Bulgarian war indemnity of 230 million lev, considering the financial difficulties of the Serbian government, the assets of the Serbs in the territory south of the Moraval River were used to offset the war indemnity;
  5. After the signing of the peace treaty, the Bulgarian army will lift the siege of Belgrade within 24 hours and withdraw all of it from Serbia within one month;
  6. ​​After the signing of the peace treaty, the Bulgarian army shall transfer all prisoners of war to the Serbian government within three months;
  7. The Serbian government promises not to take any measures against Bulgaria to ban all radical organizations;
  ……
   There are 78 armistice treaties, covering all aspects, large and small.
   However, it is Article 3 and Article 4 that really involve the core interests. The treaty legally clarifies Bulgaria’s ownership of the Moraval River territory, as well as the ownership of the property in this territory!
   Other treaty content, in Ferdinand’s view, is more like a make up!
   For example, in the first article, Serbia concedes defeat and is responsible for the war. Of course, it is responsible for losing a war. It is not just a matter of surrendering. Who will take it seriously? If there is strength, who can guarantee that the Serbs will not fight back!
   The second article is purely funny. The war criminals of this war can't ask, but they will investigate the last war? And there isn't even a specific list, isn't it just doing it?
  Articles 5 and 6, let alone a long-term blockade in Serbia, is it really easy to be a great power? Unlike the mountains and hills in the south, the Austro-Hungarian sphere of influence is in the north. If Ferdinand hadn't spent money in Vienna, it is estimated that he would not even be able to manage it!
   The transfer of captives, let alone the fact that hundreds of thousands of people eat, drink and sleep every day, which is not a small expenditure. Taking into account the international public opinion, they can't be used as hard labor. Who wants to do it for nothing?
   Article 7 bans radical organizations. Ferdinand looks like it was signed for Austria-Hungary. Doesn't this create opportunities for them to annex Serbia?
  ……
  As soon as the content of the treaty was transmitted to Sofia, Ferdinand immediately approved it! You can get everything you can get. For other details, just give in!
   Compared with this, the Serbian government is pushing harder, everyone can't avoid it, no one wants to get involved with this!
   Alexander I is not a fool, why should he fight such a big pot? Want to hide? Well, everyone fights together, no one wants to run, collective decision!
   Whether you are a member of parliament or a government official, as long as there is one in Belgrade, you must sign and agree! It doesn't matter if you are not there, just authorize your family to do it for you!
   So a funny scene appeared. After the Serbs took the treaty back, they had to add two more pages because there were too many people who approved the signing and there was not enough space for signatures!
  As soon as the treaty was established, the Bulgarian army lifted the siege of Belgrade and began to withdraw.
   The Serbian who just breathed a sigh of relief, before he was happy, troubles followed one after another!
  The conflict between the two countries has been around for a long time. Although the withdrawal of troops has been ordered, the Bulgarian army still does not mind giving them a little trouble!
   For example, accidentally a fire in a certain city caused the granary and household registration information to be burned; another example was the loss of a batch of seized weapons in a certain place, which happened to be picked up by some anti-government organizations...
   Anyway, the Bulgarian army hurriedly evacuated without notifying the Serbian government to come over, and then the local order became chaotic.
  Especially the immigrants who have just migrated, no one is in charge. Now it is a typical proletariat, with no assets, no jobs, no labor, and the most important thing is no food! ! !
   But they only have weapons. Even though they are just some broken copper and iron, they are weapons at all?
   If there is no food to eat, I can only go find food to eat! But I can't find a livelihood, what should I do? Of course it was robbed. Anyway, if you have a weapon in your hand, you can grab it from the local residents!
  Anyway, living people can't be suffocated to death by urinating. If you are hungry, you can't do it! !
   By the time Serbian officials arrived, many cities were already in a mess, with a series of crimes such as murder, robbery, and emerging one after another!
  According to post-event statistics, the loss caused to Serbia due to the chaos caused by disorder is greater than the loss caused by the Bulgarian army when it attacked!
   Alexander I, now I don’t know if I should cry, UU reading www.uukanshu.com should still laugh!
Due to the Bulgarian invasion, Serbia was tossed to death, which made his throne unstable; also due to the mess left behind when the Bulgarian army left, no one dared to take over, and no one planned to launch it now. After the coup, he still sat on the throne!
   It took only 38 days from the declaration of war to the end. In fact, the main battle between the two sides was less, only one week!
   Serbia is completely broken! The financial dinar is not as high as the price of papyrus. In the era of gold standard, currency without gold reserves is just a pile of waste paper!
  In domestic politics, everyone is a loser. The Serbian government is a mess. Whoever takes over will be unlucky! In that case, let the unlucky government continue to do it. If you cause yourself to blame, you should take care of it yourself! !
   Pushed Alexander I, and finally chose to ask for help from Austria-Hungary. There is no way for the Serbian government to stabilize the domestic situation.
   At least the people’s eating problem cannot be solved by themselves!
   As for the conditions, I don’t need to mention it now. The boss can figure it out. I will agree to everything. I will save my little brother first!
   At this moment, it is the turn of the Vienna government to feel uncomfortable again. The Serbs have come to the door by themselves. Do you want to annex it? ?
  The current situation is that the Serbs want money, food, and army! You are not mistaken. In the absence of supplies, the Serbian government does not even have the ability to send troops to stabilize places!
   The problem of eating for hundreds of thousands of people needs to be solved urgently. If this problem cannot be dealt with, all means are useless! !
   In the end, it was Franz Joseph I. No matter what to do later, control Serbia first! !
