While Crown Prince Edel was waiting for the olive branch of the two countries, in Serbia, he was actually talking about the possibility of drawing Romania into the alliance.

This time the discussion was initiated by King Peter I of Serbia, with the participation of Crown Prince Alexander, Prime Minister Protic, Chief of Staff Putnik, and Foreign Minister Milanovic.

Milanovic took the lead in expressing his views as Minister of Foreign Affairs. "Your Majesty and colleagues, I personally think that it is a very good idea to pull Romania into the alliance to deal with Bulgaria together. Now Romania is the strongest country in our Balkan countries apart from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and they have a long border. Part of it is bordering Bulgaria. If he joins the alliance, we can encircle Bulgaria on three sides and let them take care of themselves."

Upon hearing Foreign Minister Milanovic's words, Serbian King Peter I and Prime Minister Protic both nodded secretly. Chief of Staff Putnik felt that he needed to add something, and also spoke about it. "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I think there is a situation to be considered."

Seeing that during the Balkan War, Admiral Putnik, the hero of Serbia, had something to say, and the king motioned him to continue.

After getting the king's approval, Admiral Putnik continued. "Romania began to prepare its army in 1905, and invested no less than 20 million pounds in their 260,000 army, which is very terrifying."

Hearing the words of Admiral Putnik, everyone from the king to the foreign minister was very surprised. You must know that the most advanced ultra-dreadnought battleship now costs less than four hundred pounds, and Romania can buy five for the army’s investment. A super dreadnought ship. Romania is among the top three in Europe in terms of investment in the army on the same scale.

The Prime Minister asked. "So what does the chief of staff mean?"

Hearing Prime Minister Protic’s inquiry, Admiral Putnik said categorically. "We will not win over Romania. If we are attracted to Bulgaria, we and Greece will definitely not be able to defeat the Paul coalition."

Upon hearing such affirmation from the Chief of Staff, Crown Prince Alexander asked the Prime Minister. "Your Excellency Protic, then why didn't we extend an invitation to Romania?"

Facing the question of the crown prince, Prime Minister Protitch said with a wry smile. "His Royal Highness, in order to draw Romania into the alliance, Bulgaria gave four thousand square kilometers of territory, and Romania has not sent troops. If we draw Romania into the alliance, I think the cost will be not small. And Russia has already expressed its willingness to support ours. For territorial claims, I did not expect Bulgaria to find Austria-Hungary and German support."

After all, the Prime Minister is a bit reluctant, and there is a credit for the Russian ambassador to Serbia Hartwig. During his stay in Serbia, the Russian ambassador loved Serbia more than the Serbs. During his tenure as ambassador, he vigorously advocated Greater Serbia and advocated that Serbia should form a Greater Serbia with Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, and Montenegro. He also contributed to the establishment of the Balkan League, and now he fully supports Serbia in the face of the dispute with Bulgaria. According to his words. "The most important thing for Russia in the Balkans is to integrate the Slavs into one country."

Obviously this country he is talking about Serbia. Facing the possible price of an alliance with Romania, he believes that with the support of the two countries and Russia, Bulgaria can see the facts clearly. Prime Minister Protic was obviously influenced by him before.

Seeing the appearance of Prime Minister Protic, King Peter I slowly spoke. "I think it's better to get in touch first. After all, we are guessing here, so let's learn about it first."

After seeing the words of King Peter I, the Chief of Staff of the Prime Minister and others all answered.

"Your Majesty."

Then several important officials left the palace. Peter I couldn't help coughing again after seeing everyone gone. Crown Prince Alexander stepped forward and patted his father gently on the back.

Peter I said to his crown prince. "Okay, Alexander, it's all old and sick, and I have no other problems."

"But father, I can't help but worry about you now." Crown Prince Alexander said with concern.

King Peter I looked at his son and said. "Alexander, I plan to hand Serbia to you next year."

Crown Prince Alexander said in shock. "Father, can I do it, and you can still work normally, wouldn't it be nice now?"

Seeing his son's expression, Peter I encouraged him. "You have to believe in yourself, don't you look at the Romanian Crown Prince Edel next door is also outstanding. And he is a few years younger than you, you have to have confidence in yourself."

Hearing his father compare himself with Romania's Edel, Alexander is really Alexander. Edel's achievements in Romania in the past few years are obvious to all. Whether he can do it in the future is still a question.

Soon Serbia sent a telegram requesting the alliance through the ambassador to Romania.

Now the telegram is in Edel's hands, watching the crown prince holding the telegram thoughtfully, Foreign Minister Barnosk asked. "His Royal Highness, what do you think of this telegram?"

Hearing the inquiry of Foreign Minister Barnosk, Edel put down the telegram in his hand and said. "Telegraph to Serbia and ask them to take a picture of someone who has weight if they want to talk. There is no way to negotiate in the telegram."

"Good Majesty."

Romanian Foreign Minister Barnosk sent Edel's meaning to Serbia.

Serbian Prime Minister Protic received a telegram from Romania and thought about it. It seems that Romania is not resistant to the alliance, and there seems to be some talk. Thinking of this, he took the telegram and rushed to the palace and told the news to King Peter I.

Peter I asked. "Prime Minister, who do you mean to shoot?"

Prime Minister Protic named a surprising candidate~lightnovelpub.net~ Your Majesty, I plan to go to Romania to talk to them in person. "

Hearing the Prime Minister's amazing decision, Peter I asked a little surprised. "Do you really have to go?"

"Yes, your Majesty." Prime Minister Protic replied first, and then explained why he had to go by himself. "Negotiating with Romania for other people, many things need to be consulted domestically, which is very unfavorable to the negotiation. If I go to many things, I can make a decision first, and I also want to see the development of Romania in the past few years, and get a feel for them by the way. "

After hearing the Prime Minister's words, Peter I said after thinking about it. "That's fine, so what preparation is needed?"

Facing the king’s question, Prime Minister Protic replied. "I plan to visit secretly this time, so I don't need to bring many people, just a few staff members."

After paying a visit to King Peter I, Prime Minister Protic explained his work problems and took a few staff members to Romania on a regular train.
