Vol 4 Chapter 115: Afterglow

After Ferdinand set the tone, on November 23, 1916, the National Union of Yugoslavia was held at the Bulgarian Parliament Building in Sofia. &1t;/p>
As the leader of the Yugoslav nation, Ferdinand appeared in the meeting, not applause, but hundreds of people curtsy, which made him very satisfied. &1t;/p>
"Welcome everyone to Sofia. Everyone is an elite of the Yugoslav nation. To fight for this great nation, our time is precious and cannot be wasted anymore, so I won't talk nonsense!&1t; /p>
I know that everyone is here for the future of the Yugoslav nation. Now that the world war has progressed, it is only a matter of time before the Allies have failed. &1t;/p>
The time to determine the future destiny of the Yugoslav nation is coming soon. What I hope to see is an uplifting and united Yugoslav nation. &1t;/p>
Of course, this is not to say that Bulgaria is about to establish a Yugoslav kingdom, like the rumors outside. I can tell you here that this does not exist! &1t;/p>
Bulgaria just wants to unify the Balkan Peninsula. Regarding areas outside the Balkan Peninsula, we respect your own choices. You can choose to stay in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, or you can build a country independently, and of course you can join Bulgaria. I support these! &1t;/p>
"The Origins of Balkan Nations" must have been read by most of you. With the changes of the times, in fact, each nation has long been inseparable from you. &1t;/p>
Therefore, I hope that everyone will not hold an extreme national heart, and learn to tolerate each other, so that everyone's conflicts can be reduced a lot! &1t;/p>
……"&Amp;1t;/p>
After he finished blowing, he poured everyone a bowl of soul chicken soup, and Ferdinand left with everyone's farewell. &1t;/p>
As for the latter matters, Ferdinand doesn't care anymore. Just think about so many power groups, all of which have their own interests. How can harmony be possible? &1t;/p>
Besides, these forces are only needed for political reasons, so they can make up the numbers. Do you really think they are so powerful? &1t;/p>
The Austro-Hungarian Empire is not a fool. How can it be possible for a large non-governmental armed group to appear under its own rule? &1t;/p>
The ones who really have a bit of strength are just a few of the revolutionary parties and a few nobles, and their strength is still very limited. &1t;/p>
The rest may not even be regarded as power. Some are interest groups composed of several capitalists; some are composed of a group of students; and there are socialist groups! &1t;/p>
Don't be surprised, the European thoughts of this era are so chaotic and mixed together. Naturally, some freaks have emerged. In later generations, there are many incompatible thoughts that can be shared in this era! &1t;/p>
Such as the Communist King Party, the Communist constitutional monarchy, etc., there are some messy large grocery groups everywhere. &1t;/p>
Of course, history has proved that it is impossible for groups with chaotic thoughts, and there is no doubt that these groups have disappeared in the long river of history! &1t;/p>
……&Amp;1t;/p>
Time passed in a hurry, and seven days passed in a flash, and the first Yugoslav National Union Congress closed in a quarrel. &1t;/p>
Under the operation of Constantine, Ferdinand became the king of the Yugoslav Federation in a daze. The problem is that the Federation currently has only one member of the Kingdom of Bulgaria! &1t;/p>
What's more weird is that this federal kingdom usually does not have any compulsory binding force on its members. As long as it is a country or region established by the Yugoslav nation, it can join, and there is no need to assume responsibility for each other and perform obligations! &1t;/p>
Only when a member country faces an invasion by a foreign enemy, the King Ferdinand has the right to summon everyone to resist. Normally, his role is to mediate conflicts between members! &1t;/p>
Okay, everyone gets what they need. Ferdinand hopes that they will act to add chaos to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and they hope to get Bulgaria's support for the establishment of an independent nation and provide them with security protection. &1t;/p>
After all, the small European countries of this era are still very dangerous. If one is not good enough, it will be invaded by foreign enemies. It is necessary to find a boss! &1t;/p>
If there are multiple countries with a population of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands in the future, Ferdinand is not surprised at all. This is what Bulgaria needs. &1t;/p>
Since the unification cannot be really completed, then naturally the more dispersed the better. If they are really unified, it will be a real trouble. &1t;/p>
Of course, another reason is that the more countries that become independent, the more supporters Bulgaria will have in the future after the establishment of the United Nations. &1t;/p>
……&Amp;1t;/p>
Ferdinand's convening of the Yugoslav National Congress with great fanfare was of course no secret from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Perhaps one of the representatives participating in the meeting was theirs. &1t;/p>
However, Ferdinand didn’t care at all. He adopted a scheming strategy. As long as there are careerists who want to build a country independently, they can only seize the land from the Austria-Hungary Empire by themselves. If they are preempted by competitors, That is the place of others. &1t;/p>
The Federation Kingdom prohibits members from attacking each other, unless there are sufficient reasons, this must first go to the kingdom to appeal, and only after his king can use force. &1t;/p>
The Vienna government was very angry about Ferdinand’s digging of walls. Franz-Joseph I even said in anger:
Order the defenders in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia and other regions to step up their guards. Suppress!"&1t;/p>
The ability of Joseph I to establish the Austro-Hungarian Empire is beyond doubt, but his talent is crooked. His diplomatic ability tops Europe, but his internal political ability is very mediocre, not to mention his military ability. &1t;/p>
I can't help but he is not angry. This world war has shaken the foundation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Ferdinand is undoubtedly losing the stone now, but now the two sides are enemies, it is understandable to do so! &1t;/p>
As soon as the voice fell, the old emperor Joseph I suddenly fainted and woke up after a period of rescue. &1t;/p>
Of course, the 86-year-old emperor couldn't stand the toss. Due to the butterfly effect of Ferdinand, this time and space, Prince Franz Ferdinand of the Austro-Hungarian Empire escaped a disaster. Finally, the old emperor experienced less pain of sending blacks from whites and lived a few more days. . &1t;/p>
(Remarks: Franz=Franz, this is different results translated by language experts according to the needs of different names!)&1t;/p>
But when people are old, their bodies are exhausted and their lamps are dry, and they cannot be stimulated. Unfortunately, it is a world war. It is either good news or bad news. How can it be unstimulated? &1t;/p>
In the end, Joseph I still failed to survive 1916 and died at the Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna at the end of December. Grand Duke Franz Ferdinand succeeded to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. &1t;/p>
The death of the old emperor, it can be said that the Austro-Hungarian Empire's Dinghai Shenzhen has collapsed. Although the newly succeeded Grand Duke Franz Ferdinand (Ferdinand II) has much more ability than Grand Duke Karl, he has to control this The aging empire still lacks enough prestige! &1t;/p>
Although he also spent a layer of gold during the World War, he still cannot compare with the old emperor. The most obvious sign is that the awe of the Austro-Hungarian Empire by many ethnic minorities has disappeared. &1t;/p>
Due to the factors of the world war, although Joseph I's funeral has been grand, the level of participants has been reduced a lot, obviously not worthy of his status. &1t;/p>
As a belligerent country, important members of the royal family of the Allied Powers were naturally absent collectively, and even Ferdinand only sent a representative to participate. There is no alternative to this, everyone must pay attention to the impact! &1t;/p>
With the death of the old emperor, Ferdinand was still sad. The uncle still cared for him, but it was only because of national interests that he was forced to antagonize. &1t;/p>
Of course, it is sad to be sad. When it was time to make a ruthless hand, Ferdinand was still unrelenting, and the battle of the southern front that had been going on for a long time started. &1t;/p>
On the Romanian front line, facing the main force of the German-Austrian coalition forces, the Bulgarian army adopted a defensive strategy. Instead, it launched an offensive in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Belgrade. &1t;/p>
No, the battle started when the old emperor was still alive. The continuous bad news was the main factor in the death of the old emperor. &1t;/p>
For example, in the attack on Bosnia and Herzegovina, relying on the advantage of the navy, the Bulgarian 6th Army was in Dalmatia, and the war was burned to the Croatian region. &1t;/p>
Of course, this is just a feint. The purpose is to contain the forces of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and weaken the foundation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the local area. &1t;/p>
Now Ferdinand II, who has just succeeded to the throne, is pressing hard, suddenly adding hundreds of kilometers of coastline to defend, which has brought a heavy burden to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. &1t;/p>
It is impossible to give up. Once Bulgaria wins in Croatia, a Croatian kingdom will be born, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire will be ready to fall apart. &1t;/p>
For this reason, the Austro-Hungarian navy was sent out to fight the Bulgarian navy, and then they never came up again. &1t;/p>
What made Ferdinand II most unbearable was that under this background, there were people who dared to eat inside and out. When the old emperor was alive, these people were smuggling sneakily, and now they are starting to expand. &1t;/p>
Don't look at the fierce fighting on the front line, but the Hungarian capitalists are still engaged in smuggling trade with Bulgaria. The domestic people are clinking with hunger, and they dare to sell food. &1t;/p>
Just because the grain purchase price given by the Austro-Hungarian government is too low, these capitalists would rather rot the grain in warehouses than sell it to the government, and at most only sell it on the black market. &1t;/p>
Then a very comedy scene appeared. The Kingdom of Hungary, a large grain-producing country, unexpectedly experienced a food crisis first, and millions of Hungarians lacked enough food. &1t;/p>
Then, these capitalists unscrupulously transferred the responsibility to the government. UU reading www.uukanshu.com accused the Austro-Hungarian government of taking a lot of food from the Kingdom of Hungary, which caused this food crisis! &1t;/p>
Ignoring it completely, their granary is still full of grain, and as long as it is taken out, the kingdom can survive this crisis. &1t;/p>
However, this is impossible. Unless the Austro-Hungarian government pays a high price to buy from them, private property is sacred and inviolable and cannot be sold at a low price! &1t;/p>
The Count of Hungarian Santisza has come forward to coordinate this issue many times. The old nobles still have a little bit of face and took out some food to deal with the problem, but the emerging bourgeoisie has no idea what morality is, and even the meaning is too lazy. a bit. &1t;/p>
The most weird thing is that after the government agreed to their food prices, they received paper money and asked the government to pay in gold! &1t;/p>
The Royal Hungarian government naturally did not have so much gold, and then kicked the ball to the Austro-Hungarian government. They didn’t want the Austrian government to use money to buy food for the Hungarians. Is it appropriate? &1t;/p>
However, spoiled children will naturally not think so much, they will only see their own interests! &1t;/p>
The result was naturally unsettled. Ferdinand II was preparing to take tough measures against these capitalists. The Royal Hungarian government jumped out to oppose it. Tiszasian refused the entry of Austrian troops on the grounds of the sanctity of private property. &1t;/p>
In short, with the death of the old emperor, the situation in the Austro-Hungarian Empire began to be chaotic! &1t;/p>
