Vol 2 Chapter 29: Choice

　　 Well, all the words have been said by Ferdinand, everyone only needs to decide whether to do it or not!
　　 Actually the two roads ahead, the Bulgarian government has no choice at all.
　　 There is no free lunch in the world. If you want to get benefits, how can you not pay the price?
　　 The Russians have fought the Turks for more than two hundred years for the Bosphorus Strait. Now they will support Bulgaria to obtain Constantinople, don’t dream!
　　The strategy formulated by Ferdinand never had the idea of ​​Constantinople from beginning to end. No way, who is the Bosphorus, the lifeline for the Russians to enter the Mediterranean?
　　 Once you have mastered Constantinople, you have mastered the Bosphorus and, of course, the Dardanelles, which is also the main route for the Russians to enter the Mediterranean.
　　 Now the purpose of the Russians is very obvious, while the British are busy competing with the Germans for South Africa and the French for North Africa, to seize the Black Sea Strait and control the Marmara Sea.
　　Once this strategic goal is completed, the Russians will be able to attack the Mediterranean: advance and attack, retreat and defend, and they will be invincible innately!
　　 If Bulgaria rejects the Russian proposal, it is tantamount to interrupting the Russian Mediterranean strategy. The outcome is self-evident!
　　 Similarly, the Russian Mediterranean strategy is in the interest of the French. Only when the Russians enter the Mediterranean will they not concentrate their efforts on the Far East strategy or even abandon the Far East strategy. This will help ease the pressure on the French continent!
　　Bulgaria has no choice now, one hard work, one harvest!
　　 In Ferdinand’s opinion, the Russians did a good job this time. Although Bulgaria paid a huge price this time, the benefits were also huge!
　　 Even with the generosity of others, Bulgaria can still get hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land including Istanbul, Macedonia, Eastern Thrace, Albania, etc.!
　　 In his view, all these can be compromised. Anyway, after the world war, these rights will return to Bulgarian hands. It is completely acceptable to exchange temporary compromises for Bulgaria's growth!
After a long silence, Prime Minister Konstantin sighed and said: "Everyone, we have no choice at all now! The conditions of the Russians are agreed, and Greater Bulgaria is basically completed. The dreams of several generations are ours. Barely realized in the hand!
　　 As for the future, one can only take one step and see one step. As long as Bulgaria is strong enough, all this is not a problem! "
　　 Obviously, Prime Minister Konstantin is sensible, he has not been dazzled by anger, knowing what is in the best interests of Bulgaria!
　　 The conditions of the Russians just got stuck. The Bulgarian Navy should call the Coast Guard more appropriately. It is a complete joke to ask them to master the Marmara Sea!
　　 In that case, it is better to leave it to the Russians. After all, if the ties between the Ottoman Empire in Europe and Asia are cut off, Bulgaria's chances of winning will increase a lot.
　　 As for the military ports on the future territory, which will be controlled by the Russians, that doesn’t matter. Anyway, it’s still a Turk’s territory. No matter how much benefit is sold, everyone will not feel the pain.
　　 This is equivalent to the Bulgarian army and the Russians from the navy to jointly attack the Ottoman Empire. Everyone will divide the spoils, and everyone does not have to worry about being a traitor!
Following the Foreign Secretary Metjeev, he also spoke: "The current international situation is very beneficial to us. The British are bound to win in South Africa, and the Germans are not willing to let go. They support the Boers and the British to fight in South Africa. And it has won the support of the European society, and there will be no winners or losers in a short time!
　　 At the same time, because of the problems in Egypt, the British and Turks have become dirty. Leaving aside the Russian Empire, they hope that we can weaken the Ottoman Empire to protect their interests in Egypt.
　　 The Austro-Hungarian Empire had a plan for the Balkans for a long time. They hoped to annex Bosnia and Herzegovina, but because of the strong resistance of the Turks and the opposition of the Russians, it had not been realized.
　　 Oh, now we have to add a Serbia, we can cooperate in this regard, presumably the Russians are also willing to make this transaction with them!
　　 As for other powers, their strength in the Balkans is limited and they cannot interfere with our actions!
　　 Besides, it is still the weakest time for the Turks. There is a mess in the country and endless national uprisings are exhausting the last heritage of this big empire! "
　　Ferdinand was taken aback, but he did not expect that the minister of foreign affairs who usually does not show up is still a thorough hawk, and now he is starting to encourage everyone to do something.
　　 And his proposal is exactly what Ferdinand needs now. He successfully diverted everyone's attention, and now many people were moved.
　　Of course, Ferdinand also knows that this is based on the premise of not harming Bulgaria’s core interests. Bulgaria is now at a time when nationalism is on the rise, UU reading www. Everyone at uukanshu.com will inevitably be affected, and they attach great importance to national interests.
　　 But Ferdinand still interrupted everyone's unrealistic delusions.
"Okay, take your mind back! We are not ready at all. Weapons and ammunition are still a pile of raw materials. No matter how good the opportunity is, we cannot learn from the Serbs and let the soldiers hold a pile of broken copper and iron. Go directly to the battlefield to die!"
　　 With the negative textbook of Serbia, Bulgaria is no longer popular in the "courage to win" theory. After all, Serbian soldiers are really brave, but on the battlefield, they are not defeated by the Bulgarian army!
　　 Everyone sighed secretly and missed a golden opportunity. Ferdinand disagrees. The internal conflicts of the Ottoman Empire have been in existence for a long time. How could it be cleared up in a short while.
　　 The international situation does not change in one or two days. The value of South Africa is so great that it makes all of Europe jealous. The United Kingdom intends to kick the Germans away from monopolizing them, not to add obstacles to them, is it still William II?
　　Even if the British can settle the Germans at a high price, how about the French, Spanish, Dutch...? Can't all be settled, right? As long as they have the support of great powers, the Boers are not so easy to handle!
　　 Haven't it been three years in history? This is still based on the premise that the British settled the Germans, wooed the Portuguese, and pitted a handful of Spaniards in the Spanish-American War and won the support of the Americans.
Now? The Americans are still the vanguard of the anti-British anti-British, and they are not so courageous, but they sent volunteers to bring their own dry food to help the Boers.
　　Oh, in history, the US government supported the British, but the people still donated money and materials and organized volunteers to add obstacles to the British.
