Romania in the Second Balkan War, Internet sources

I do not know if the following is true, but at some point in my life I either heard it or read it: The Bulgarians had their weaponry bought from the British, while their enemies had their weapons bought from Germany.
Until the intervention of Romania the Bulgarian armies were doing quite well in the Second Balkan War, against all their combined enemies, and from here a political pressure from Germany toward Romania to "do something".

It you remember from the memoirs wrote by George Toparceanu regarding the days when he was war prisoner, his Bulgarian guardians reminded him that they were "stabbed in the back" in 1913, and they joked that all left to face the Romanians were women and children. However, they did not have a big grudge against Romanians, telling them that the Turks (their ally in that moment ) were still their worst enemy.

Bulgarian army had austrian Mannlicher models M1880/90 i M1895, Mosin-Nagant M1891 and Berdan II M1870 which were imported from Russian Empire.

As for Romania involvement in SBW:they wanted to achieve their goal which was to occupy southern Dobruja which they did with V corps while the Main Army's task was to enter bulgarian capital city.

Bulgaria was succesfull in SBW but it also had some defeats so it can't be said that they would won it if Romania hadn't entered the war.

I believe that German emperor himself stopped romanian progress into Bulgaria but I don't know how.

From Internet :
(...)
When the Romanian army closed in on Sofia, Bulgaria asked Russia to arbitrate. The Ottoman forces that invaded Eastern Thrace (12 July) without meeting Bulgarian resistance were already in Edirne being unwilling to stop their advance. To help Bulgaria repulse the rapid Ottoman advance in Thrace, Russia threatened to attack the Ottoman Empire through the Caucasus, and send its Black Sea Fleet to Constantinople; this caused Britain to intervene.
