Vol 2 Chapter 14: Great Bulgarian

　　 The British took a shot in Paris and failed to obtain the desired result. They turned their attention to St. Petersburg in an attempt to gain the support of the Russians.
　　 The Russians still give a lot of face and agreed to participate in the investigation committee organized by the British, but their attitude on Armenia is very different from the British.
　　 Regarding the Ottoman Empire’s massacre of Armenians, Nicholas II expressed no interest. The Russian Empire has done a lot more, and many of them have done more than the Turks!
　　 The Russians are most concerned about the Black Sea Strait, but after the last Russian-Turkish war, the Russian government’s strategy changed, shifting its center of gravity to the east, and it became more obvious after Nicholas II came to power.
　　 The Russian Empire can tolerate this principle, and it can be in the hands of the declining Ottoman Empire, or in the hands of any weak country. Even after the Bulgarian War, support for Bulgarians to control the Black Sea Strait is not low! (In history, Russia once supported Bulgaria to seize Constantinople)
　　 However, Ferdinand is not sure whether this is a test of Bulgaria by the Russian government. In line with safety first, he refused on the grounds that the Bulgarian navy's soy sauce navy was weak!
　　 Obviously the British plan failed again! The Russians really coveted Constantinople, but after repeated failures, the Russian government did not trust the British and suspected that the British had bad intentions!
　　 What's more, Russia’s Far East strategy is at a critical moment. The British supported Japan during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. Nicholas II believed that the Far East strategy was far more important than the Armenian issue!
　　 Nicholas II made the same judgment as in history. He believed that the British wanted to undermine the Russian Empire’s Far East strategy and wanted to tie the hands and feet of the Russian Empire with the Near East crisis.
　　 What's more, there is now a younger brother in the Russian Empire, and there is a Bulgarian thug in the Balkans. Even if an accident occurs, he is still under control.
　　The attitude of the Russian Empire completely declared the bankruptcy of the British Near East policy!
Because of the different attitudes of the great powers, interference in Armenia’s problems was almost useless. In April 1895, the British, French, and Russian ambassadors to Turkey jointly drafted the "Armenian Province Reform Plan". This plan was very gentle and the content of the reforms was very modest. limited.
　　 But it was still opposed by the Russian Foreign Minister Lobanov, who claimed: Unless reforms are carried out in the entire Turkish Asian region, the Armenians will not be satisfied.
　　 Lobanov’s decision, Ferdinand couldn’t help but praise him. It’s so beautiful. The Russian Empire is equivalent to standing in the position of Sudan. The British’s Near East policy fell apart!
　　 Due to the outbreak of the "Anglo-Berg" War in South Africa, the conflicts between Britain and Germany have intensified. The Germans clearly refused to participate in Britain's Near East strategy. The Marquis of Salisbury did not receive the support of any powers.
　　 As for intervening alone, okay! The Royal Navy of the British Empire is number one in the world! Army? It was so-so. While suppressing the vast colony, it was able to launch an attack on the Boers. It was already super level!
　　 If you come back to fight the Ottoman Empire again, it doesn’t matter who fights everyone. If other powers play black hands again, maybe the Egypt that has already been bought may not be able to keep it!
　　 Ferdinand breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived here. Since his succession, the biggest crisis in Bulgaria has passed in the turbulent waves!
　　 turned his gaze back to the country. Although the Bulgarian-Serbia War is over, the problems in the later period still exist.
　　Because of the outbreak of war in 1894, the Bulgarian government invested a total of hundreds of millions of dollars. In addition to war expenses, the largest expenditure was spent on public relations!
　　 Fortunately, the military made a fortune in Serbia to make up for the loss. Later, the pension was paid off with land, which saved tens of millions of funds. Otherwise, the government has to consider selling real estate for a living.
　　 The newly-added land now has few people. How much is the so-called real estate worth? In addition to the land, the real estate in the city, it is estimated that the price of cabbage cannot be sold, no matter how cheap it is, someone has to buy it!
　　 Even so, Bulgaria’s financial situation is still very bad. In order to raise money, the cabinet is almost pale!
　　 The "Second Five-Year Plan" must continue to unfold, and the delayed progress must be caught up; new land needs to be developed and immigrants need to be introduced, and the railway network and road network must be extended.
　　 These all require a lot of capital investment. Fortunately, the immigrants Ferdinand introduced at the beginning were all honest farmers, and there was no mess. Otherwise, the Bulgarian government will really fry it!
　　The Armenian issue has also scared many people. Among them is the Bulgarian government. Fortunately, the Serbians are sent back, otherwise it might cause trouble again.
　　 In this regard, the Bulgarians themselves are experienced. There are many people in the UU Reading www.uukanshu.com government who have participated in the Bulgarian independence movement. For these businesses, everyone knows what is going on!
　　 Now that the primary and secondary are different, the decides the head. The Armenians are fighting for independence in the Ottoman Empire. Everyone is sympathetic and supportive.
　　 But if someone wants to come to Bulgaria once, then their attitude is different, and they must not be in the cradle!
　　 The "Strategy of being Bulgarianized" put forward by Ferdinand has been implemented faster, and the government has issued a series of supporting policies. such as:
　　 Set restrictions for naturalization of non-Bulgarians (except for senior talents); Bulgarians have priority in education, medical care, etc.; the government gives priority to recruiting Bulgarians as public officials...
　　 What’s more weird is that this "Bulgarian" is no longer a "traditional Bulgarian", he is not divided by blood!
　　As long as you consider yourself to be Bulgarian, and are willing to accept the rule of the Bulgarian government, and are willing to learn Bulgarian language and culture, you are Bulgarian!
　　 To put it simply, every Bulgarian can be a Bulgarian, no matter what race you are, you can become a Bulgarian! Even if you are dark-skinned or yellow-skinned, as long as you recognize everything in Bulgaria and are willing to give up your original racial identity, the Bulgarian government will treat you equally and will never engage in racial discrimination!
　　 Broadly speaking, the Bulgarian government is downplaying the concept of nation, using language and national customs to classify the broad sense of the same race. Maybe the Bulgarian is more appropriate to call it!
　　 Anyway, the Bulgarians are also mixed blood. From ancient times to the present, for thousands of years, no one knows how many ethnic bloodlines are flowing in their bodies. If you want to create a "big Bulgarian", everyone will not be stressed!
