Vol 2 Chapter 57: Gangdong

The Second Army was advancing vigorously in the Macedonia region, and the Third Army was not to be outdone. It successively captured Pristina, Uroszevac, Pecs and other places, and its troops were directed at Albania.
Nicholas I was in a hurry. The Bulgarians had already reached Albania. Mente Negro is still in Brodarevo and the Ottomans are deadlocked. New Pazar and Prijepol are still in the Ottomans. In the hands of the empire (at the border of Montenegro and Serbia, there was a territory of the Ottoman Empire before the Balkan War, which was about seven to eight thousand square kilometers), and Albania in the southeast was blocked by Shkota!
Well, this plane of Serbia is absent, and no one competes with them for territory. Nicholas I naturally swelled!
Nete ​​Negro only mobilized more than 30,000 troops, and he dared to attack in the northeast and southeast at the same time, and had to admire their courage!
But courage is not equal to strength. Although Nete Negro’s soldiers are brave, it is a pity that the number is too small. Especially after the division of troops, all battlefields are a little weaker!
The Prime Minister said nervously: "Grand Duke, it's time to make a choice! The Bulgarians have entered Albania. So far, we have not made a breakthrough in any direction. If this situation is not changed, we will have the future distribution of spoils. Will lose the right to speak!"
Nicholas I sighed, and then said: "I know! It's a pity that such a good opportunity to expand the territory was missed in vain!
After this war, the Ottomans are destined to withdraw from the Balkans, and Bulgaria is about to rise. Where is the road of Mentenegero in the future? "
The Prime Minister did not know how to answer Nicholas I's question, so he bowed his head and said nothing!
The victory of the Balkans was a good thing for Mente Negero, but the future is not necessarily!
Bulgaria was too strong this time, almost using the power of one family to get the Ottomans, Greece and Mente Negero just came out to beat the soy sauce. The balance within the league has been broken!
Originally, Nicholas I planned to move closer to the Greeks to counterbalance Bulgaria. It is no longer possible now. The performance of the Greeks is so bad that even if the two countries join forces, it will have no effect.
"Ugh!"
Nicholas I sighed and made the final decision!
"Invite the Bulgarians to send troops to Albania, withdraw the first division of Shkodra, and go all out to take down the Ottomans in the northeast!"
"Yes!" the prime minister replied unwillingly
...
After receiving Mente Negro's invitation, Ferdinand was still in a state of persecution, so did Nicholas I give up Albania?
The Minister of Foreign Affairs Metiev reminded: "Grand Duke, Mentenegero will more than double their territory after they eat the Zamar area. In addition to the occupied northern Albania, their territory has actually expanded. Twice!
Even if we give Albania to them, Mente Negro can't eat it now! "
Ferdinand laughed, hiding his embarrassment. The territory of the Montenegro Kingdom in history doubled during the Balkan War, and both suffered from indigestion. Now it has expanded twice. If Nicholas I jumped out to compete with Bulgaria for other parts of Albania, his brain would be flooded!
Suddenly, Ferdinand's inspiration flashed. Netnegro now has a population of more than 400,000. After the war, their territory will nearly triple, and the population will exceed one million. This is also a threat to Bulgaria's future strategy!
With a sneer, he said: "Order Major General Ilya Dimityev to attack Albania immediately and tell him that Mente Negro is too small. As an ally, we should help them!"
Prime Minister Constantine was very cooperative and said: "Your Excellency is right. We should help them. Mente Negero has only 400,000 people now. How can it be done? There are too few. Only one and a half to six hundred thousand will meet their status!"
Chekov added: "Indeed! But we can't favor one another. Greece has lost a lot of its population in this war, and it urgently needs to be supplemented. We should also help them more, just as they are responsible for this. Compensation for the contribution made by the war!"
...
Seeing that everyone said it was justified and well-founded, Ferdinand almost believed it, and had to sigh with emotion, "Politicians are all masters of thick black studies!"
"Okay, just do what everyone said! Tell the generals on the front line and give them all the extra parts that we don't need! Let's give the soldiers a good idea. We can't be stingy with our allies!" Dinan concluded
In a few words, the religious and ethnic conflicts that may occur in Bulgaria in the future were resolved!
As for the future of Greece and Mentenegero, Ferdinand has already thought of it, so let's mourn for them first!
...
Major General Ilya Dimityev, who had just entered Albania, suddenly received a strange order from the country.
That's right, it's the "weird command"! Can it be weird to help Mente Negro increase the population? The relationship between Mentenegero and Bulgaria has not been very good!
With doubts on the marching road, I saw countless buildings that were different from churches. Major General Ilya Dimitev seemed to think of something and said to himself: "Is it for..."
Major General Ilya Dimitev received a new-style education and has no good feelings for these religious fanatics.
When he was having a headache, the Bulgarian government also sent a working group to Macedonia and Albania to preside over the immigration work to Mentenegro and Greece.
If it were all handed over to the military, Ferdinand wondered what tricks they would do. A bad Albania would become a no-man’s land!
Ferdinand’s purpose was to expel trouble, not really to increase the strength of the two "allies"! Bulgaria still lacks a population. As long as it can be assimilated, the more the better!
What's going to happen next, UU reading www.uukanshu.com need not describe it, it is nothing more than coercion and temptation.
...
Half a month later, Ferdinand received a report from the working group and said in disbelief: "What? The immigration work is not going smoothly! It is a group of rice buckets, don't you, who have the most abundant immigration experience in the world, won ?"
Prime Minister Constantine said embarrassingly: "Grand Duke, many people in Albania are reluctant to move, and the resistance is fierce. In order not to attract the attention of international public opinion, we cannot take excessive actions!"
Ferdinand shook his head and came up with an idea: "Who let you do it yourself? Don't forget that Albania also has rebels against the tyranny of the Ottoman Empire, as well as bandits and bandits who have been persecuted by the Ottoman Empire!"
After Ferdinand pierced the window paper, the Balkans became more lively. The Bulgarian army defeated the Ottoman army in the front, and a large number of heroes emerged from the rear.
The Albanian insurgents have once again come out of the arena, along with them are the insurgents in the Kosovo region and the insurgents in the Macedonian region.
Bandits and bandits from all over the world also came out one after another.
Because Bulgaria’s military strength is limited and it has to fight with the Ottoman army, it is unable to stabilize the place and can only allow local autonomy. The resulting adverse consequences are that the Albanian region has been ruled by the Ottoman Empire for a long time and lacks the basis of democracy and freedom. Dime has nothing to do with it.
The above is the official explanation given by the Bulgarian government to the continuous chaos in Albania afterwards!
According to official data released by the Bulgarian government, the chaos in Albania in 1897 caused at least hundreds of deaths, thousands of injuries, and displacement of hundreds of thousands of people. They immigrated to Mentenegero and Greece!
