Vol 2 Chapter 27: , Russian ambitions

　　 Presumption is a conjecture, Ferdinand still has to personally determine the attitudes of France and Russia before he can rest assured. So he asked: "Mr. Metiev, what are the conditions for the Russians?"
　　Medev said nervously: "The Russians hope that the two navies can share all military ports!"
　　 This can't help him not be nervous. The port of Bulgaria on the Black Sea is completely dispensable to the Russian Imperial Navy.
　　 Now that this condition is proposed, there is only one possibility, that is-Bulgaria's strategy has been exposed! Only the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea deserves the attention of the Russians!
　　 As for the navy's shared military port, it was directly filtered out by everyone, but it was just a good word! Is it possible that the Bulgarian navy, which exists in theory, can really go to use the Russian navy?
　　After a while, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Metiev added another sentence, saying: "There is also, I hope our two countries can have more in-depth cultural exchanges!"
　　 Ferdinand was taken aback. The shared military port in front was okay. Although the Russians already knew Bulgaria’s strategic intentions, they also hinted at their intention to support Bulgaria’s expansion!
　　 As for the Bosphorus, Ferdinand has not dared to think about it. To master the Bosphorus Strait, there is no core issue-Constantinople!
　　 And there must be a navy, so although Constantinople is good, it is still a chicken rib for Bulgaria now!
　　 is easy to get, but it is hard to hold! The Turks will certainly not give up easily. There is no sea dominance. Ferdinand would not want to live the days of being attacked by the Ottoman navy every day!
　　 As for the hope that there will be more in-depth cultural exchanges in the future, if ambition is clear! Is the cultural exchange between Bulgaria and Russia not deep enough? Obviously it is to spread "Pan-Slavism"!
　　Ferdinand sneered secretly, now that Bulgarian nationalism has risen, it is impossible for "pan-Slavism" to gain recognition in a short time!
　　 After more than ten or twenty years, Bulgaria will not be Bulgaria now! At that time, even if Ferdinanken agreed to establish a "Greater Slavic Federation Empire", can the European powers agree?
　　 And "Pan-Slavism" is not entirely bad for Bulgaria! At least it can increase the recognition of Bulgarian immigrants from Russia!
　　 In the end, whoever can get the most benefit depends on his own means! In this case, Ferdinand decided to push it again, didn't he want to promote "pan-Slavism"?
Well! I also went to the Russian Empire to promote it. At the moment Ferdinand has decided to send people to Ukraine to promote a wave of "pan-Slavism" on behalf of the Russian government. Of course, the rule with Russia as the core can be removed!
　　If the Russian Empire can fight against the sky, there is nothing to say! Ferdinand can directly bow his head and admit defeat and become a kingdom in the federal empire.
　　 But the history remains the same? No wonder he inherited part of the Russian Empire's legacy! Anyway, everyone is a Slavic nation. Under the influence of "pan-Slavism", I think everyone will not be so resistant to joining the big Bulgarian family!
　　 It can be said that Ferdinand is making a huge bet that Bulgaria will step on the body of the Russian Empire to establish the "Bulgarian Third Reich"; for Bulgaria, it has lost everything.
　　 For Ferdinand himself, it is a big deal to become the king of the "Greater Slavic Federation Empire". No matter how you look at it, it is a profit. It is nothing more than a question of how much revenue!
Ferdinand said fiercely: "Tell the Russians that we have agreed to their terms! But we must obtain the full support of the Russian Empire! Whether it is diplomacy or military technology, I hope to expand all aspects. Cooperation!"
　　 On this issue, Ferdinand did not ask the cabinet's opinion. He knew that if the cabinet were to make a decision, it would probably fail!
　　 Without the foresight, who would not think that a "Russian-Japanese War" would break out in the Far East more than ten years later, and then the internal contradictions in Russia would intensify, and a revolution would erupt, pulling the Russian Empire from the altar!
　　 More than twenty years later, a world war will break out, directly causing the Russian Empire to collapse!
　　……
　　 After a moment of silence, Prime Minister Constantine hesitantly exhorted: "Your Excellency, the Russians' wolf ambition has been exposed. We have agreed to their terms. I am afraid that there will be big trouble in the future?"
　　Ferdinand said coldly: "It's not that simple. Even if we reject the conditions this time, the Russians will not give up! I don't know later, how many tricks will be used to compromise us!
　　 In that case, it's better to just use it for some benefits! As long as our strategic goals are achieved, Bulgaria will be a medium-sized country with a population of over 10 million.
　　 Even if the Russians want to establish a ‘Greater Slavic Federation Empire’, we will have enough confidence to negotiate terms!
　　 And the powers will not tolerate the annexation of the Balkans by the Russians, at least the Austro-Hungarian Empire will not agree! The British will not let Russia go to the Mediterranean. UU read www.uukanshu.com to fight for hegemony with them! "
　　 Everyone now has an angry expression. The Russians actually want to annex Bulgaria. This is completely intolerable to everyone!
　　 The Great Slavic Federal Empire sounds very good. If the Russian Empire is weaker, or Bulgaria is ten times eight times stronger, it might be possible!
　　 But don’t think about it now, the gap between the two is too big! The so-called federation is not just what the Russians say!
　　 Seeing everyone's reaction, Ferdinand comforted: "Don't worry too much, we still have enough time, at least there is still a Romanian gap between us and the Russians!
　　It is not so simple to establish a large Slavic empire. Even if we cooperate wholeheartedly, the great powers will intervene! There is only one chance. If you are not sure enough, Nicholas II will not make a move.
　　The Russians’ strategic focus is still in the Far East. A lot of manpower and material resources have been invested in the Siberian Railway. It is impossible for Russia to get out of it for at least ten years! "
　　 After hearing Ferdinand’s words, everyone’s expressions were a little slow. Even if Pan-Slavism is strong, it is impossible to achieve results in a short time. Moreover, the "fanslavism" and Ferdinand's big Bulgarian have the same advantages, which will promote the national integration in Bulgaria!
　　Besides, before the border, even if Nicholas II is confident, he will not form a federal empire in advance. Otherwise, if you are separated in two places, once the powers intervene, it is easy to cause another split!
　　 The Russian wishful thinking is about to start, so let's get Romania first! Incidentally, the Austrian-Hungarian Empire behind Romania and the German Empire must also be dealt with.
　　 To do this, first win a world war!
