Genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? "Your Majesty, the British government sent a note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to protest our actions in Persia!" Metev said cautiously
"Did we take military action against the Persian government?" Ferdinand asked suspiciously
"Not yet!" Metev replied
"If this is the case, let's just restore the British. None of us unilaterally take military actions. What can they do to protest?
Should Bulgaria conduct a military exercise on its own territory and still report to them? "Ferdinand said calmly
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Metev replied
There is nothing wrong with it. Although it is preparing to take military action, it is not a violation of the agreement before implementation.
Since the agreement has not been violated, what is there to explain?
...
London
Stanley Baldwin has not been in a better mood for a few days since he moved to Downing Street. Domestic workers went on strike, and internationally Bulgaria, France, and Japan were all about to move.
"Prime Minister, we must take decisive action to let the Bulgarians know how good we are!" Chancellor Churchill said angrily
"Mr. Churchill, what action do you think we should take? Do you directly fight the Bulgarians?
With all due respect, given your level of military capability, I am afraid you do not have this right to speak! "The Secretary of State retorted
This is not nonsense, as an expert in the military, the commanding ability in the military is infinitely equal to zero.
When commanding the navy, he was overwhelmed by the Germans' Infinite Submarine Warfare. After he stepped down, the next Minister of the Navy quickly solved the problem.
When commanding the army, he also lost his army and lost his generals. He almost became a prisoner. In fact, it was also the result of his arbitrarily acting against the military order. If he hadn't had a strong background and pushed the scapegoat to his superiors, he would have gone to a military court.
In Stanley Baldwin's cabinet, Churchill, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, can be said to be out of place. He seems to have joined in just to tear down the station.
Many times, they wonder if Churchill is an undercover agent sent by a competitor to stumble upon them.
History has proven: yes!
It's just that he wasn't sent by others, he himself was sabotaging and creating conditions for himself to be in power. For example: Command the army without authorization to suppress workers’ strikes, causing very serious political consequences.
Then, patted his and left. The Stanley Baldwin administration had to deal with the aftermath. Stanley's first term as prime minister was only a few months before he stepped down.
Before ascending to the position of prime minister, Churchill had been in the cabinet for at least three terms, and it can be said that he has maximized the talents of politicians.
"Why is the British Empire still afraid of a little Bulgaria? If you don't take action, it will not make the outside world think that our British Empire has fallen, and all cats and dogs can come and step on it?" Churchill sneered.
"The problem is that the Bulgarians have not violated our agreement. From the current situation, they are just to intimidate the Persian government.
If for such a trivial matter, we are directly confronted with Bulgaria, is it really worth it?
Now the people do not want war to break out. In Persia, I also think that our army can defeat Bulgaria! "Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin thought for a while and said
"Then we watched Bulgaria cannibalize our sphere of influence, and then follow Persia into India and seize our India?" Churchill sneered.
"Mr. Churchill, I think you need to calm down. In less than a month, you have advocated military action against Japan, France, and the Russian Empire. Now you have added a Bulgarian. Are you a war lunatic? Is it?" Stanley Baldwin asked angrily
It's not that Stanley has a bad temper. It is estimated that any leader who encounters a subordinate who wants to do things over and over again will not have a good temper.
Had it not been for reconciling disputes within the party, he would have kicked Churchill out of the cabinet.
Churchill hates Bulgaria?
Do not!
For politicians, there is no need for hatred, only need and need! Now provoking a conflict between Britain and Bulgaria is conducive to obtaining political capital for him, so he hates Bulgaria.
In the same way, he advocates being tough on France and Japan, as well.
Stanley Baldwin is already the leader of the moderates, followed by Chamberlain, who only had to become the leader of the hardliners if Churchill wanted to be on top.
From the very beginning, they were destined to become political enemies, and the relationship between the two sides was naturally not much better, and it was normal to tear down each other.
"If this is the case, then you continue this meeting, and I, a war lunatic, should leave first!"
Churchill sneered and finished speaking, then turned and left, without any intention of putting everyone in his eyes.
In this regard, Stanley Baldwin has already taken offense. Anyway, he has made up his mind and finds an opportunity to kick him out of the cabinet. Naturally, he doesn't bother to bother about it.
"Okay, get out of here, let's continue the meeting just now!" Stanley waved his hand and said
"Mr. Prime Minister, I suggest that you still negotiate directly with the Bulgarians, delimit the sphere of influence through a clear treaty, or divide the Persian region directly!" The Secretary of State Chamberlain proposed.
"This is a good way. Since the Bulgarians did not directly attack the Persian region, it means that they do not intend to directly turn their faces with us.
There is a lot of room for us to operate. There is no need for direct military confrontation. Fighting and killing all day long cannot solve the problem! "The Secretary of the Army echoed
Fighting a battle in Persia against Bulgaria, isn't this a court death?
The British Army is not the Royal Navy, and it has the confidence to fight any country. In an era when the anti-war ideology of the whole people is spreading, it is better not to fight without fighting, even if it is only a local war.
As the leader of the moderates, the cabinet led by Stanley Baldwin is naturally dominated by the moderates. Now that the British Empire is full, it is naturally impossible to take risks.
Don't watch Churchill open and shut, take action. If he is now the prime minister, he will probably make the same decision as Stanley~EbookFREE.me~ How can there be fewer conflicts between countries? If there is a direct military confrontation or a battle due to a small contradiction, then the British Empire will not get to its current position, and it will die halfway.
What are the consequences of an all-out war with Bulgaria now? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that besides losing both sides, is there a second result?
The First World War has taught politicians all over the world whether the war is very cruel. Just look at the Russian Empire. It is clearly a victorious country, but unfortunately it looks no different from the defeated country.
Even France has only won face. The huge war reparations cannot make up for their loss of strength. You must know that before the outbreak of the war, the overall national strength of the French was at least more than half that of the British. Not anymore.
...
The controversy in London quickly reached Ferdinand’s hands and did not surprise him.
He had also heard many rumors that Churchill was an American spy in his previous life, but it is hard to tell the truth from the fake in the later life.
Even in this time and space, it is impossible to confirm the truth of this news, but Churchill's opposition to attacking the United States is indeed true, but he is alone in it.
Ferdinand was more willing to believe that the Americans bought Churchill at a high price, or seized his handle and threatened him to make certain decisions.
After all, Churchill's policy of making wedding dresses for the United States is too much, and it is unacceptable, and it is easy to misunderstand that Americans have raised his position so high by later generations.
As a gravedigger in the British Empire, how can he deserve such a high evaluation? This is obviously abnormal. A loser has become the greatest prime minister in British history. Is this a joke in history?
