Vol 4 Chapter 132: , The fields are divided, la la la

After the German-Austrian forces retreated to the Tisza River, the Bulgarian army had to stop its advancement, and could not swim without a boat?
Besides, Bulgaria has already won the southern battle anyway, and everyone has no deep hatred, so why are you so desperate?
Then the two sides began to stare across the Tisza River. The war was temporarily subdued. Everyone was very busy. The German and Austrian coalition forces are eager to build a defense line. The Bulgarian army is busy looting their homes and making money!
Fortunately, the capitalists of the Kingdom of Hungary had to hoard the food, and now it happened to be cheaper for Ferdinand, and even the front-line ration problem was solved.
The problem now is not that it is impossible to fight. As long as Ferdinand is willing, he can still launch a battle across the river. The Tisza River is not wide and there is air force cover. As long as the casualties are not counted, crossing the river is not a problem, but there is no need to continue fighting!
...
When the Bulgarian army entered the Hungarian Great Plains, Dante Christophe began planning to take down the Balkan gateway-Belgrade.
However, it was stopped by Ferdinand before it had time to implement it. The reason was simple. The Austro-Hungarian Empire would not last long, and there was no need to consume precious troops here.
Due to the war, hundreds of thousands of refugees have been added to the Kingdom of Hungary. Obviously this has increased the determination of the Hungarians to withdraw from the war. Once the Kingdom of Hungary withdraws from the war, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will naturally be unable to hold on.
The only thing that hinders the Kingdom of Hungary from withdrawing from the war is the hundreds of thousands of German troops on the front line. As long as they are there, the Hungarians will not dare to act rashly!
Otherwise, if they declare independence on the front foot, they will be suppressed on the back foot. Isn't it a sad reminder? You can't expect Ferdinand to send troops to rescue them, right?
Of course, if something happens, Ferdinand will definitely send troops to help, but taking advantage of the fire is naturally indispensable. If there is something accidental along the way, if you are late, this is beyond the human capacity!
...
In the Palace of Sofia, Ferdinand is holding a post-war meeting to deal with Hungary. As an old neighbor, Bulgaria has the greatest say on this issue.
Even if John Bull gave them a promise, the lessons of Italy have taught the Hungarians that it is better to obtain the endorsement of the parties to the Allied Powers before acting.
The county magistrate is not as good as it is now. Large tracts of land in the Kingdom of Hungary are in Bulgaria’s hands. If Bulgaria’s understanding cannot be obtained, it will be very difficult to clarify the ownership of these lands in the future.
Unless the Hungarians think that they can use force to regain their lost ground, it is best to negotiate the conditions before acting, so as not to cry in the future.
The battle of the Southern Front ended so calmly. Ferdinand has been in a good mood recently, so the Hungarian has caught up with a good time. Of course, his good mood does not change the final result!
Foreign Minister Metjev said calmly: "Your Majesty, the representatives of Hungary have arrived in Sofia secretly, and they have submitted an application for peace talks to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Judging from the current contacts, the attitude of the Hungarians is still very firm. They hope to restore the territory before the war. They want to recover the central Danube plain and the Transylvanian plateau from our hands. "
Ferdinand smiled slightly and asked, "What price did the Hungarians pay?"
As a defeated country, how can it be possible to withdraw from the war without paying the price?
Metjev joked and said: "They cooperated with us to solve the German army in the Kingdom of Hungary, and at the same time there is the friendship of the Kingdom of Hungary!"
Prime Minister Konstantin smiled and said: "Is it a condition to kill this German army? If the Hungarians are capable, let them let the Germans go. I want to see if the Germans will let them go as a traitor?
As for the friendship of the Kingdom of Hungary? After independence, the Kingdom of Hungary is just an ordinary kingdom. Is their friendship very valuable? "
It was not that Constantine discriminated against them, but that the status of the two sides was not equal at all. The Hungarian kingdom that remained in the Austro-Hungarian Empire was still a member of the great powers, and the independent Hungarian kingdom was just an ordinary kingdom.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, the status of great powers and ordinary countries was very different, otherwise Ferdinand would not waste so much effort to let Bulgaria join the club of great powers!
Although the Hungarians were prepared for independence, they were not prepared to face the changes in their international status caused by independence, and they were still diplomacy with the international status of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Obviously, it is impossible for Bulgaria to buy them. If it is the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they are indeed eligible to stop the loss, but only a Hungarian kingdom, after the war, Bulgaria does not and the bear to divide them clean, even if Ferdinand has the integrity.
Foreign Minister Metjeev still smiled and said: "Prime Minister, the Kingdom of Hungary is still valuable to us now. We have to give an explanation, right?"
Prime Minister Konstantin nodded, and after a moment of silence, he said: "You mean cheating the Hungarians and writing them a bad check?
No, we cannot harm our international reputation for such a small matter! "
After speaking, everyone turned their attention to Ferdinand, usually he made the decision personally.
After hesitating for a while, Ferdinand said slowly: "Tell the Hungarians that they can reclaim these territories, but they must pay a price. We accept the land purchase.
Of course, if they have made a large enough contribution in this world war, we can also give up asking them for this amount! "
Everyone trembled slightly, there is definitely a problem in this, when did Ferdinand talk so well? We must know that Transylvania has been included in the Bulgarian strategic plan, how can it be spit out again? At least the Kingdom of Hungary has not been able to make Bulgaria return the meat that has entered the bowl!
So there is no doubt that this is a blank check. How much contribution can the Kingdom of Hungary make to this world war? Is there a specific standard for this?
Unfortunately, no! Only contributions recognized by Bulgaria are contributions, otherwise they are all in vain!
As for the land redemption, this is just equivalent to the war indemnity in disguise. As long as Bulgaria offers a sky-high price, it will naturally end without disease!
After comprehending Ferdinand’s meaning, Metev immediately replied: "Yes!"
The next question is how should the Ministry of Foreign Affairs fool the Hungarians and make them believe in Bulgaria's sincerity!
Education Minister Chekov suddenly said: "Your Majesty, now we have confiscated a lot of Hungarian capitalists' farms. It is too wasteful to leave them so deserted, so let's use them to settle Romanian refugees!"
These farms all use mechanized operations, and there is no need for a few people at all, but if all the machinery is destroyed and replaced by human intensive farming, the manpower required will be much more.
Chekov obviously dug holes in the Hungarians, and directly brought them back to the manpower era of mechanized agriculture. If it is a bit more shabby, everyone will be allocated land according to the minimum standard. It will not be a problem to resettle millions of people on these land. .
After the war, the Hungarians will be surprised to find that the once rich central Danube plain no longer exists, replaced by millions of Romanians.
If Ferdinand goes too far, it is not impossible to establish a Romanian kingdom directly here.
We must know that due to the war, many local aborigines have already run away, and the production materials left by these people can naturally be used for distribution.
Ferdinand thought for a while and said, "Then, according to the standard of 0.2 hectares (three acres) per person, the Romanian refugees will be allocated fields so that they can live and work in peace in the central Danube plain!"
It is a pity that the land of the veteran nobles cannot be moved, otherwise the Danube alone can settle all Romanians.
Theoretically, a person of 0.2 hectares of land can house 500 people per square kilometer, and 10,000 square kilometers can house 5 million people.
Of course, this is actually impossible. Ten thousand square kilometers of land cannot be cultivated land. Under normal circumstances, there will certainly be buildings, forests, grasslands and other land ~EbookFREE.me~ and 0.2 The allocation base of hectares is already the minimum requirement that ordinary people need for normal life (0.2 hectares = 2000 square meters = 3 mu, and the annual output of plain areas is calculated at 300 kilograms per mu, which can only make ends meet. ) After all, they also have to exchange other living supplies, so they can't eat all the bread!
But even so, Bulgaria now controls over 30,000 square kilometers in the central plain of the Danube. It is mainly based on the area of ​​arable land. Even if it is not arable land, grasslands and forests can be turned into arable land, soil erosion, environmental protection, etc. But it has nothing to do with Bulgaria.
And the owners of these lands are undoubtedly most of the nobles, then the capitalists, and finally the self-cultivators.
The property of the big nobles cannot be moved, and the property of the small nobles is not counted, especially the new nobles. They have nothing to do with Ferdinand and Pan. Even their noble status has not been recognized by the old nobles!
To put it simply, Bulgaria has confiscated nearly four floors of land according to the usual practice, all of which can be used for distribution. It is a foregone conclusion that millions of Romania will take root here.
It is conceivable that in the future Kingdom of Hungary, the problem of Romanians will definitely be an important part of it, and a reduced version of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is being bred!
But everyone didn't feel that there was a problem at all. Everyone has done the troubles many times, and even teammates can pit it. Besides, was the Kingdom of Hungary still an enemy of Bulgaria before?
If the Kingdom of Hungary stands on the opposite side of Bulgaria in the future, it is also a good choice to support Romanian independence.
