Vol 4 Chapter 32: , To kill with a knife

As soon as the war ended, the Bulgarian government became busy again, and celebration banquets were indispensable.
But this time is a bit special. Everyone knows that Ferdinand is not in a good mood recently because of the death of his mother Princess Clementine, no one dares to harass him!
Therefore, in this celebration, he is not visible from the beginning to the end, but this does not affect everyone's good mood.
Anyway, there are still so many rewards, and it won't be reduced in the slightest!
Of course, the domestic newspapers still have to trumpet. How can a victory like this be enough for them to trumpet for half a year!
Anyway, from the king to the soldiers, the workers, the peasants, from the government to the army, from the collective to the individual, inside and out, the media will blow it up again! To satisfy the curiosity and vanity of the people!
Of course, Ferdinand is still the protagonist this time. As the greatest emperor in Bulgaria's history, there is no one. He has enough capital to admire!
Coupled with the promotion of public opinion, in the eyes of the Bulgarian people, Ferdinand is already a great existence second only to God, and has been artificially deified!
Oh, in fact, Ferdinand has recovered a long time ago. After all, Princess Clementina is in her seventies, and she has a long life in this era, and she has gone peacefully!
Birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, this two generations of Ferdinand can better understand, after seeing off Princess Clementina, he recovered.
It was just that he was too lazy and didn't want to participate in so many social entertainments, so he used this as an excuse to express that he was in a bad mood.
Anyway, now his reputation has reached its peak, it doesn't matter whether he goes or not, and he doesn't need to rely on these small means to buy people's hearts!
The West is different from the East. A queen dowager like Princess Clementine never participates in politics. Her death has little influence on the outside world. It is even more unlikely that the whole people will wear filthy filial piety and affect folk weddings and funerals!
If you insist on saying anything, it would have caused a major blow to the royal party of the French Orleans family. Without an important member of the royal family, the influence of the European Big 6 has dropped again!
But these are dispensable to Ferdinand, and he has no plans to support the restoration of the Orleans royal family. After all, the French Republic has been established for so many years, and the royalist party has been divided into several factions. How can it be successfully restored?
Oh, the most important thing is that after the death of Princess Clementina, the succession to the throne bid farewell to him, and Ferdinand would naturally not join in foolishly!
...
In the Palace of Sofia, Constantine, holding a pile of thick materials, was excitedly introducing to Ferdinand, "Your Majesty, our Cabinet plans to divide the Aegean Islands into four regions, namely
1. Crete and its affiliated islands are divided into the Crete region, supplemented by the Heraklion port on Crete;
2. The islands of Rhodes, Karpathos, South Sporades, Solavno, Cunupia and other islands are divided into Karpa Region, and the residence is in the port of Calavarza on Rhodes. ；
3. The islands of Evia, Kickers, and Northern Sporades are divided into the Sith region, and the residence is in Skyros;
4. The islands of Lesvos, Chios, and Lemnos are divided into the Eastern Region, and the residence is in Mytilene, Lesvos.
The Kofu Island in the Mediterranean is directly divided into the Epirus region, and the Ionian Islands and the Peloponnese Peninsula are divided into a separate region-the Ionian region, with the residence in Sparta !
..."
Ferdinand pretended to listen carefully. In fact, he didn't know the names of many islands, let alone understand the specific conditions of the islands.
Now Bulgaria can also be said to be the country of a thousand islands. The Aegean Sea is also called the Multi-Island Sea. It is said that there are more than 6ooo islands. Of course, this number is not accurate, because many islands are short-lived and will be submerged by the sea today and tomorrow. !
But now in Bulgaria, there are more than two hundred islands suitable for human habitation, and there are no less than 6,000 large and small islands. The largest island of Crete has an area of ​​83oo square kilometers, and the smallest may not be as big as a bed!
With so many islands, just remembering the name is a difficult problem, even if it is an island suitable for human habitation, Ferdinand cannot remember it.
If the Bulgarian government wants to manage these places, it is naturally a problem.
The division of administrative districts was obviously set up by the government for the purpose of ruling. Ferdinand, who was not sure about the specific situation, simply handed it over to the cabinet!
"Well, let's divide it like this first! If it feels inappropriate in the future, just readjust it!" Ferdinand said lightly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Constantine replied
"However, what about the residents of the island? The Ottomans are fortunate to say that the Turkish Al-Shabaab, which has just been in power, is already beginning to extradite civilians if it wants to do something about it!
The Greeks are in trouble. If we move them all away, these islands will be deserted. Now the people in China are not interested in moving to the islands to live!
Even though we have increased our publicity and promised to provide housing and subsidies to immigrants, everyone is only a little interested in a few large islands, and most of the small islands have no one to sign up! "
Ferdinand couldn't help but feel happy that the island that the rich will rush to buy in the future is now a hot potato!
Ferdinand thought for a while and said, "Forget it, for small islands that don't have any special resources, let them go deserted! Anyway, they won't run long horns anyway, we just need to open some valuable islands!
As for the Greeks, let's find a way to let them leave. The populous Greek peninsula is temporarily difficult to move, but the thousand and eight hundred people on these small islands, let's get them away first!
According to the original plan, they should be sent to Syria and the Ottomans to be neighbors. After all, the colony over there is opened, and now it still needs a lot of manpower! "
Well, Ferdinand is pitting people again. The First World War is coming soon, and the Ottoman Empire will surely attack Syria.
With Bulgaria's current strength, it is very difficult to resist the Ottoman invasion in Syria, so Ferdinand will not invest much resources anywhere in the short term. UU reading www.uukanshu.com sent the Greeks to it, which is also regarded as a murder!
In theory, the Greeks could also jointly occupy Syria with the Ottoman Empire and seize the Bulgarian colony.
However, this may only exist in theory. Just think about what happened to the Armenians and the changes in the distribution of the Greeks, and you will see how cruel the ethnic cleansing carried out by the Ottoman Empire during the First World War. !
Even Ferdinand's attitude towards overseas colonies is that he can keep the rules. If he can't keep it, he will give up. After the war is over, he will regain lost land.
Anyway, from the perspective of this era, the colonies in Bulgaria's hands are all rotten land, and there is not much economic value. Apart from the lack of deserts, there is no land boundary for anything!
Constantine hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, would it be too wasteful to do so? Can we wait for our immigrants to arrive before sending the Greeks away, lest no one will be deserted for a long time..."
Ferdinand interrupted Constantine and said in an unquestionable tone, "No, we must pay attention to the image of the government. Some things should be done in advance!
The local residents will definitely not leave willingly. Now we are still under military control of these islands, even if we give birth to something, it is difficult for the outside world to know the specific information.
Once the order is normalized, it will be difficult to keep it secret! You don’t want the whole world to know that we are forcibly exiling the Greeks! "
That's right, it's exile! Compared with the Aegean region, Syria in this era is a remote country!
"Okay, Your Majesty! We will do it as soon as possible, and strive to send all the residents of the island away by 1911!" Constantine said solemnly
