Vol 4 Chapter 29: Peninsula Strategy

Although the Greek peninsula is now occupied by Bulgaria, the 1.7 million Greeks on the island and the 600,000 to 700,000 Ottomans imprisoned by the Greeks all need to be dealt with. If one is not dealt with, it may explode!
After all, Ferdinand pays great attention to the international image, and it is impossible to send all the Greeks into concentration camps, but the Greeks whose nationalism has been deeply rooted are obviously not so easy to integrate!
It took only one infantry division to defeat the Greeks and Bulgaria, and now Ferdinand has sent three infantry divisions to occupy the Greek peninsula!
This is still in the negotiation. The Greeks still don't know the purpose of Bulgaria. They also hope that the foreign powers will pressure Bulgaria to withdraw from the Greek peninsula. The civil resistance is not very fierce.
After all, as early as ten years ago, the Ottomans team used the heads of four to five million Greeks to teach them a lesson: resistance is deadly! The hard bones were basically dead in the last war!
The time has not passed long, and everyone has not forgotten the horror of the Ottoman army, so now they dare not provoke the Bulgarian army for fear of another killing!
Even the formerly active Secondary Two teenagers calmed down. They also experienced that era. They left terrifying memories in their hearts when they were children. Now they are lured out again, and they are hiding quietly and trembling. !
Ferdinand knew that the Greeks were counseled, but it did not mean that they would dare not resist, but now Bulgaria has not challenged their bottom line. The most important thing is that it has not harmed the core interests of interest groups!
But this will soon change. When the Greeks discovered Ferdinand's true purpose, they would certainly not be ruled willingly. It will be sooner or later to resist!
At this time, Ferdinand is having a headache about how to deal with the problem of the Greeks. After all, the contradiction between Bulgaria and Greece can no longer be eased. This hidden danger should be eliminated earlier!
"Now the Greek peninsula is also in our bag. If this negotiation is not unexpected, all countries will acquiesce in us annexing the Greek peninsula, but what should the Greeks do?
Do you have any suggestions, can you talk about it? "
The Minister of the 6th Army took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, we can learn from the previous Greeks' treatment of the Ottomans and send them directly to the concentration camps to contribute to the construction of Bulgaria!"
The Secretary of the Navy Petrov added: "Your Majesty, to open overseas colonies now requires a lot of labor, so it's better to send them!"
...
The military’s suggestion made Ferdinand roll his eyes. What a joke. There are many Greeks. Although the Greek peninsula is only 1.7 million, there are many Greeks scattered all over the world. , Bulgaria’s international image is over!
Although the powers of this era have no international image, Ferdinand still pays great attention to influence. At least after leaving the Near East, Bulgaria's international image is still good all over the world. Without learning from Italians, he will go everywhere. !
"Sang, what's your opinion?" Ferdinand continued to ask
Constantine thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the Greeks are very difficult to deal with. The best choice is to send them all away, or even find a new place for them to build a nation!
The only exception is that they cannot be left on the Greek peninsula. This is evident from the Serbian region ruled by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Even after suppressing the rebellion, the situation has not stabilized! "
Ferdinand nodded in satisfaction. This is the solution he wanted. How could anyone snore on the side of the couch!
"Well, it's right. As long as the Greeks stay on the Greek peninsula, then it is a hidden danger. If you want long-term peace and stability, it is better to get them away! Think about what place is suitable for Greeks, right?" Ferdinand expressed his attitude
Since Ferdinand’s previous plan was to turn the Marmara Sea into an inner lake, Greece only planned to cedicate some islands, and did not consider dealing with the Greeks.
However, he carefully considered it later. It is very difficult to realize this strategy. At least the Russians do not want Bulgaria to control the Black Sea Strait. The St. Petersburg government is also very interested in this strait!
If the two countries are co-administered, then after the outbreak of World War I, the Russians will be able to obtain enough supplies from the outside world. By then, the Allies won the war ahead of time, and after the war, Bulgaria will directly face those who have no vitality. Tsarist Russia!
Thinking about this terrible result, Ferdinand felt terrified, so he temporarily abandoned the strategy of expanding into Asia Minor and turned to the Greek Peninsula.
After all, for the Greek peninsula, Ferdinand began to make diplomatic preparations as early as more than a decade ago, and has levelled four of the six major powers in Europe!
During the Russo-Japanese War, Ferdinand and Edward VII conducted an insider deal on the Greek Peninsula issue, and the two sides reached a consensus.
Both China and China clearly designated the Greek Peninsula as Bulgaria’s sphere of influence. Earlier, the Russians also promised to support Bulgaria’s expansion in the Balkans, including the Greek Peninsula.
Just reached a deal with the Italians. After all, Tripoli is of extremely high strategic value to the Italians, and it is not so easy to obtain!
Oh, of course, in these transactions, Ferdinand has not directly told anyone that Bulgaria will incorporate the Greek peninsula into its homeland. Maybe people have to think about it again!
This is the core reason why Ferdinand is eager to get the Greeks away!
Anyway, as long as there are no Greeks on the Greek peninsula, no matter how dissatisfied with Bulgaria's annexation of the Greek peninsula, the great powers can only pinch their noses!
Before that, the most important thing was to move a part of the Greeks and leave, and then move a part of the Bulgarians in. When the great powers appeared, it also created an established fact!
It is estimated that the world war will almost explode at that time, and no one can care about the small problem of the Greek peninsula!
The Minister of the Sixth Army proposed: "Your Majesty, or Libya! The most valuable port city-Tripoli was given to the Italians, and the remaining coastal areas were exchanged for the Greek peninsula. UU read www.uukanshu. Com is totally worth it!"
Secretary of the Navy Petrov quickly objected: "No! Libya is our only colony overseas. If we just give up like this, where can we put our face?
To resettle the Greeks, we can think of a way in the Ottoman Empire. They want to preserve Asia Minor. How can they not pay the price?
Wouldn’t it be enough for them to provide a piece of land and settle the Greeks? Anyway, the Ottoman Empire has a big business, and the resettlement of such a million or two million Greeks will not waste much land. It is just a small problem for them! "
...
Well, Ferdinand knows that the reason why the dispute is so fierce is, in the final analysis, a "Sea 6 dispute"!
This is unavoidable for every big country. Although Bulgaria is a country with six powers, its unique geographical location requires it to have a large-scale navy!
This is a reality that every country on the peninsula must face-Hai 6 must do it! It's just that the focus is different. On this point, Spain, Italy and Bulgaria are all facing the same situation!
Oh, the French can count as well!
Taking into account the needs of future strategies, Ferdinand chose to support Petrov. After all, Bulgaria’s naval power is already very low. If they are not given a reason to show up, Bulgaria will not even have the power to speak in the Mediterranean region in the future!
Once there is a conflict with a big country, people can directly blockade the Aegean Sea, so Bulgaria will not even think about it!
Anyway, I have to bite the Ottoman Empire this time. Whether it is indemnity or cessation of land, it is fine to hand over the option to the Ottoman Empire. If it is not possible, then consider Libya!
