At the end of the 20th century, the head of the British Foreign Office relied on TV to gather information. At the end of the 19th century, the head of the British Foreign Office relied on The Times to gather information. [The Times] had written a good piece of news. Even though they were sent to a small country like Romania, the standard of the reporters from [The Times] was still extraordinary. The whole thing was clearly described, and there was a deep analysis of the complicated international inside story involved in this matter.
There was no doubt that The Times recognized this as a typical case of power struggle between the big powers in Romania. The Times reporter was not just making up stories. In this era, The Times reporter in the local area was often regarded as Britain's "second ambassador." Romania did not dare to offend the "second ambassador" of the British Empire. Therefore, the reporter investigated that the editor of Bucharest News had spent a lot of money in pounds before his death. How could an editor suddenly have such a sum of money in his hands? No one would believe it if a big power did not intervene.
Since this person had used pounds before his death, it was easy to associate Britain's role in this. The British knew very well that the newspaper that was really under the British's command was not Bucharest News. The British did use this incident to add fuel to the fire, trying to stop China's business activities in the Black Sea. However, the British were only using it, not the mastermind. The most suspicious country was undoubtedly Russia.
But it was useless to shout. Now that the person was dead, all that could be known was that the dead editor had received and used pounds before his death. Moreover, this incident also caused a big reversal in the previously heated "China's evil deeds" that the British had successfully attracted attention. Romania's bad impression of the Chinese turned 360 degrees … oh, 180 degrees in an instant. From the perspective of who benefited and who had the motive. It was likely that China could not escape the responsibility of this matter.
However, this matter had been heated up. Even if the British cursed, they had no intention of letting go. The foreign minister said in the tone of a fake head chef, "There are already so many ingredients in this pot of rice. If we wait a little longer and seize the opportunity to add some newer ingredients, we might be able to make a very surprising dish."
In Bulgaria, the Ambassador of Russia held a meeting with the local newspaper. "This is definitely the work of the British!"
After Romania obtained their territory, they immediately revealed their ingrate nature. Not only did they immediately ease their relationship with the Otoman Empire, but they also started to guard against Russia. A pro-Romanian political party was established in Southern Bessarabia (El Salvador). Russia had its own aspirations and aspirations for Great Russia, but a small country like Romania had actually come up with the aspirations and aspirations of a "Great Romania." Not only was Romania unwilling to be someone else's little brother, but they also tried to take all the land that the Romanians lived in into their hands. Russia hated this new country to the core.
"If we don't act now, Bulgaria will definitely repeat the same mistake," the Russian ambassador said to his men. "We must act now!"
This is not a discussion, this is an order. After the Ambassador of Russia expressed his thoughts, he began to assign tasks.
At this time, Bulgaria was not completely independent. Nominally, it was still a region of the Osman Empire, but the local government had been autonomous. The Deputy Chief of Staff of the Sixth Bulgarian Army quickly received the Russian ambassador. The Russian ambassador said sternly, "We must act now!"
After hearing this, the Deputy Chief of Staff showed a look of embarrassment, but the Russian ambassador did not give the Deputy Chief of Staff any chance to evade. He said with a straight face, "I think you know very well who put you in this position. And you also know that your competitor, Prouston, is pro-Otoman and pro-British. If you can't continue to be the Deputy Chief of Staff, how long will your men last? "
The Deputy Chief of Staff was temporarily silent. But this silence was also temporary. In the end, he said, "There are still a lot of people in the Bulgarian army who are loyal to Alexander."
"Are they really loyal to Bulgaria? They are loyal to the Osman Empire! "The Russian ambassador said angrily," These people have forgotten the blood that was shed in Bulgaria a few years ago. Or rather, they have been frightened by the blood that was shed! They want to learn from the Romanians! "
The Deputy Chief of Staff's eyes were obviously emotional. In the Tenth Russo-Turkish War, Russia, Romania, and Bulgaria all sent troops to attack the Osman Empire. Russia and Bulgaria paid the highest price. Russia paid more than 200,000 people, and the Bulgarian militia suffered nearly 100,000 casualties. In the fierce attack and defense battle of Plevin Fortress, the allied forces of Russia and Bulgaria were unable to win. In the end, the result of the war was that Romania comfortably obtained independence.
The Russian ambassador continued, "After getting the appointment of the governor of the Osman Empire, I am afraid that it will not be long before Alexander becomes a Muslim and marries an Osman princess. From then on, he will be the Bulgarian Prince of the Osman Empire! And then wait for the Orthodox Church to be completely destroyed from Bulgaria? Just like what the Osman people did in Constantinople? "
After listening to this sensational news, the Deputy Chief of Staff could not believe it. But the Russian ambassador had been spreading such news recently, and he took full advantage of the Deputy Chief of Staff's weakness. "If you ask Alexander for confirmation, the result will probably be that he will deny it now. But it is a fact that he will accept the appointment of the Osman Empire. In that case, why not introduce a real Orthodox Christian? If this kind of thing is delayed, when things get out of hand, it will be too late! "
The Deputy Chief of Staff's expression seemed to be struggling. The Russian ambassador continued to agitate: "As long as Alexander is expelled, we will immediately send the Navy to Bulgaria. I repeat, Russia is not opposed to the merger of Bulgaria and Eastern Rumelia. But Russia cannot accept a Bulgarian Grand Duke appointed by the Osman Empire! He just needed to get rid of Alexander. Anyone can be the Grand Duke of Bulgaria, but not Alexander! "
