Vol 2 Chapter 32: ,undercurrent

　　 The Russians’ support for Bulgaria’s move was not kept secret at all. After learning of the news, Nicholas I, regardless of the government’s financial affordability, immediately ordered the Mentene and Romanian government to pass the military expansion bill.
　　 Regardless of the poor relationship with Bulgaria after the Bulgarian War, the Russians moved the bridge and joined the line in an attempt to get a share of the pie!
　　 Ferdinand readily invited the future kingdom of Montenegro to join the alliance. So far, the formation of the Balkan League is officially completed!
　　 Of course, the most important thing is: Mentenegero (Montenegro) is limited in strength, even with the support of the Russians, he can't eat much.
　　 What's more, it is not the time of Alexander II anymore. There is no interest bondage, just out of sympathy. The Russians' support for Mente Negro has been greatly reduced!
　　 As for Serbia, the main force of the Balkan Alliance in history, it is now hard to protect itself. The Austro-Hungarian Empire is not a vegetarian, and is constantly eroding their sovereignty.
　　 The young Alexander I was forced to a corner and began to abandon himself. Completely bid farewell to government affairs and hid in the palace for self-entertainment.
　　 What surprised Ferdinand is that the Socialist Party that tossed in Bulgaria in history has no shadow at this moment. Communism began to flourish in Serbia.
　　 The head of the rebels who had escaped, accepted the influence of communism. Now they are entangled with the radicals in Serbia, and are preparing to overthrow the traitorous government by force and expel Austria-Hungary!
　　 In the face of the life and death of the country, Bulgaria is no longer the number one enemy of the Serbs. The Austro-Hungarian Empire that worked hard has taken over the position of the big villain, and the government that is working hard for the reconstruction and restoration of Serbia after the war has become a "corrupted" reactionary colonial government!
　　Well, the Serbian government was indeed wronged. They were still qualified at the end of the 19th century. After their unremitting efforts, Serbia barely retained its national sovereignty.
　　 As for social contradictions, they are completely a sequelae of the Serbian War. In the face of internal and external difficulties, the ability to guarantee the timely distribution of relief food is enough to prove their ability!
　　 However, none of them are useful, idealists and activists cannot see it! All this is attributed to the corruption of the government and the exploitation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
　　 completely ignored the money and efforts of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Serbian government did its best for the country!
　　 No way, who is called Serbian radicals? The undercurrent of the revolution is surging, Ferdinand estimates that within two or three years, a new round of uprising will break out!
　　Ferdinand knew that after the Balkan War, Bulgaria would border the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Because of the existence of the Russian-Russian Alliance, the tacit understanding between the two countries will no longer exist.
　　 The small Balkan region cannot accommodate two regional powers. Since it is destined that the two sides are enemies in the future, he is also happy to watch the jokes of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
　　 If Ferdinand were replaced by Ferdinand, he would never be as indecisive as the Austro-Hungarian Empire! Either directly control Serbia as in the Bosnia and Herzegovina region and find an opportunity to directly annex it; or simply support the pro-Austro-Hungarian government and let Serbia be completely independent.
　　 Now Austro-Hungary is vacillating towards Serbia. While occupying the rights of Serbs in an attempt to make up for the economic losses, it also supports the pro-Austro-Hungarian regime.
　　Everyone knows that the contribution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to Serbia is not proportional to the gain!
　　 "Sheng Mien, fight against Mien"! In the eyes of blind idealists and radicals, the only thing that is common in ancient and modern China and abroad is the exploitation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

　　 Time passed in a hurry and entered 1896 in a flash. After entering the new year, the situation in the Balkans has deteriorated day by day.
　　 The actions of the Balkan countries still attracted the attention of the Ottoman Empire. There are also a few sensible people in the decayed empire, and Harim Pasha, then foreign minister, is one of them.
　　As the foreign minister of the old empire, Harim Pasha is also arrogant enough to disdain the actions of the three small Balkans.
　　 What he cares about is the attitude of the powers behind it. The extra fleet in Bulgaria is the focus of attention!
　　 Harim Pasha has always advocated reaching a settlement with the British so that he can concentrate on resolving the domestic Armenia problem.
　　 Like most Ottoman nobles, Harim Pasha also supported Sudan and used iron and blood to suppress the domestic revolution.
　　 He believes that once the Armenians are allowed to become independent, it is likely to cause a chain reaction. At that time, the Kurds, Greeks, Bulgarians, and Arabs will all ask for independence!
　　 Maybe, the Ottoman Empire may fall apart, which is unbearable by any Turkish nobleman!
　　The Balkan issue has been plagued by the Ottoman Empire. Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Mentenegero do not have a worry-free master, and they all look forward to the Ottoman sovereign state.
　　 According to Harim Pasha, the Ottoman Empire would have resolved these chaotic parties if it were not for the intervention of the great powers!
　　 I finally waited until the two countries of Bulgaria and Serbia started to pinch. I thought I could have a few days of peace of mind, but I didn’t expect the Serbs to be too useless. I got it done by Bulgaria!
　　 The actions of the three Balkans now make him very uneasy! The British fiddled with the partition of the Ottoman plan. Harim Pasha was horribly clear. For this reason, the Sudanese government also launched diplomatic efforts, and finally convinced the Germans and French to gain support. , And made concessions to the Russians in exchange for Russian neutrality.
　　 Harim Pasha knows very well that the actions of the Balkan countries now absolutely cannot do without the support of the old enemy Russians!
　　 The Austro-Hungarian Empire must also support it. Not long ago, the request of the Austro-Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to let the Ottoman Empire abandon the sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina was rejected by him!
　　 Harim Pasha knew that the Ottoman Empire could not resist Britain, Russia, and Austria-Hungary at the same time, even if they did not act together!
　　 Knowing that the troubled Harim Pasha has just made a proposal to the Sultan, namely: abandon the Bosnia and Herzegovina region in exchange for the support of the Austro-Hungarian Empire; recognize the status quo in the Egyptian region and obtain the understanding of the British!
　　 immediately evoked a crusade!
　　The Minister of War sarcastically said: "Coward! Haven't the enemy come yet? Just thinking of surrendering! If it does come, it will be fine!"
　　The Minister of the Interior said in a weird manner: "Don't scare us here. If the situation is really so serious, now it is not just a few clowns tossing, but the coalition forces of Britain, Russia and Austria!
　　Can the British and the Russians compromise? Don’t the British be afraid of the Russians entering the Mediterranean? If so, their Crimean War was not fought in vain?
　　Can the Russians tolerate the expansion of Austria-Hungary in the Balkans? If so, it is estimated that the Austro-Hungarian Empire would have annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina long ago, and it is estimated that Serbia and Montenegro will no longer exist! "
　　The Minister of War added: "The British navy is invincible in the world, but is the army? That's it! For a Boer War, the army must be expanded. Where can they have the energy to trouble us?"
