Chapter 154: armistice

After Bulgaria’s request for an armistice was issued, it was immediately received by governments.

   Among them, Crown Prince Edel, who was acting with the Romanian army, also received the news as soon as possible. Facing Bulgaria’s request for peace, he summoned the army minister General Courtois, Chief of the General Staff Lieutenant General Prieshan, and other generals to discuss whether to accept Bulgaria in the city of Norwich, which had just been captured. Summation.

   In the command center of the city, Edel sat in the upper position, watching the generals surging the stars on both sides for Bulgaria's summons and began a fierce debate.

   "I think the Bulgarian army has no strength to compete with us. Why should we accept their armistice agreement?" Second Army Commander Lieutenant General Andrew stood up and expressed his opinion in the face of the crown prince and his colleagues. "We are fully capable of hitting Sofia and have Ferdinand I sign our armistice conditions."

   Edel watched Lieutenant General Andrew express his opinion. In fact, this opinion should represent the thoughts of the general staff headed by Prieshan. They are all biased towards Edel, who were promoted by the crown prince. Basically, he lacks in military exploits, so I hope to get more credits in this war and make myself more convinced. Therefore, they are unwilling to accept the request of a truce in Bulgaria, after all, where can they find credit after the truce?

   In the face of Lieutenant General Andrew’s generous statement, Lieutenant General Salamik, commander of the Third Army, had different opinions.

   "I have different opinions on Lieutenant General Andrew's opinion." He stood up first and said his disapproval attitude, and then went on to talk about the reasons. "Even if we hit Sofia, our conditions are the limit accepted by Bulgaria, which is not good for us. On the contrary, the interests of other countries have greatly increased. For us, this is a typical service for others, so I think we can agree to Bulgaria's request. ."

   After Lieutenant General Salamik finished speaking, the other generals in the room were talking quietly below. Edel himself also agrees with Lieutenant General Salamik. After all, he is unwilling to consume too much Romania's small funds after he has achieved his goal.

   You must know that in the previous Battle of Tarnovo, the Romanian military used fifteen thousand tons of ammunition. Almost did not blow Prime Minister Bretianu to death, and the Crown Prince himself was shocked by the military's consumption. We must know that in previous military operations, the Romanian army only consumed more than 1,000 tons of ammunition, and the cost of fighting a major battle was increased tenfold. Romania's family base was not strong enough to withstand such several battles. So he was very interested in the advice of Lieutenant General Salamik.

Seeing that the opinions of his deputy, Lieutenant General Andrew, were suppressed by Lieutenant General Salamik, the most important thing was that the crown prince also showed enough interest. Puleshan believed that he needed to stand up and talk about his opinions, otherwise the continued war would change. It's impossible.

   "cough"

   He sorted his thoughts and coughed softly. Seeing that the Chief of General Staff had something to say, the other high-ranking military officers present were quiet.

  Puleshan was satisfied with the current atmosphere, he stood up and said. "His Royal Highness, I don't think it is a good time to agree to the Armistice Agreement in Bulgaria."

   Edel heard what the Chief of Staff said, although it was not what he wanted, but after all, he was his spokesperson in the army, and it was not good to embarrass him in front of the generals, so he took his words and asked. "So what does Lieutenant General Puleshan mean?"

   "We should continue to fight against Bulgaria, it is best to completely defeat their military strength, otherwise we will fight again if the conditions are not negotiated."

   Facing the crown prince’s inquiry, Puleshan found a good reason. However, facing the high-level military officials below Pree Mountain, it is not easy to express their opinions. After all, they all know that the person behind Pree Mountain is still sitting in the main position.

   After hearing the words of the Chief of Staff Preeshan, Edel felt in his heart that the people he had promoted were a little anxious. This kind of proposal obviously only takes into account the ideas of one's own side, and does not take into account the interests of Romania as a whole. Edel secretly decided to water them so that they would not be so impatient.

   was sitting at this moment as the Secretary of the Army, Admiral Courtois, stood up and spoke slowly. "I also have some opinions of my own."

   In the face of the Secretary of the Army who rarely expressed his views in this war, no one would underestimate his opinions. Edel also wanted to see the opinions of Admiral Courtois, who was in charge of the army for his father.

   Seeing everyone waiting quietly for him, Admiral Courtois made his suggestions. "Let's not just consider this war. The relationship with Bulgaria after the war is also one of the key points we need to consider."

   After saying this, he sat back in his seat and started to doze like an ordinary old man. However, what he said made the military seniors present to think secretly. Although Admiral Courtois did not say whether to continue the fight, his attitude has already made it clear.

  It is true that they can continue the fight this time, but Bulgaria, a country that participated in the war, is unable to divide it up. This is also not allowed by the European powers. So if you overdo it, it will be difficult to improve the relations between the two countries. Although Romania’s current size is not afraid of Bulgaria, who wants to have multiple hostile countries?

Edel himself was also moved by the words of Admiral Courtois. The World War I will start next year is unlikely to carve up Bulgaria. Afterwards, Romania will need to face a big red country. It will inevitably reduce attention on the flanks, so give Bulgaria a little in advance. Showing good is also a good choice.

   After thinking of this, Edel had already made a choice. He waved his hand to stop General Preeshan who wanted to continue talking, and spoke out his decision. "After listening to your generals' suggestions, I fully considered everyone's suggestions. Finally, I decided to accept the Bulgarian truce. From now on, our Romanian army will stop continuing military operations against Bulgaria."

   After talking about his decision, Edel continued to add to ~lightnovelpub.net~ However, our army cannot withdraw. We need to wait for the outcome of the negotiation before we retreat. I will return to Bucharest with the chief of the general staff Preshan, and the army in Bulgaria will be temporarily led by Admiral Courtois. "

   After hearing Prince Edel’s decision, Preysan’s eyes flashed a little bit of loss, and he immediately recovered. But when Edel saw it, he didn't care about Preshan's thoughts. If he didn't understand that, the chief of staff of the past few years had been done for nothing. Instead, he smiled and said to Admiral Courtois. "Admiral Courtois needs to work hard for you."

  Admiral Courtois also did not expect that Crown Prince Edel handed over the command of the Romanian army to him, and quickly stood up and talked about it. "His Royal Highness, please rest assured, I will be optimistic that the army will not let trouble here."

   On the second day after Bulgaria issued its request for an armistice, Romania responded to Bulgaria's request, expressing its willingness to armistice, and at the same time issued its own decision to Serbia, Greece and Montenegro. After the three countries saw that the main forces of the war agreed, they could only agree to Bulgaria's truce proposal.

The Chief of Staff Enver, who led the attack on the Ottoman army, also secretly regretted this. Now they are 50 kilometers away from Adriatic Fort, but when the Balkan countries agree to a truce, he cannot let the Ottoman go his own way and can only stop. The actions of the Ottoman army.

   The second Balkan War that should be launched by Bulgaria on July 30 was completely stopped, and this time ended in Bulgaria’s defeat. Now that the smoke on the battlefield has cleared, the time has come for diplomats from all countries to fight for the benefits of their country.
