Vol 5 Chapter 117: Forced choice

A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? Fu Wushuang will never come alone!
When Ferdinand had just helped the Dutch, the Russian next door had another accident.
Since the sale of the Caucasus region, the Nicholas II government has enough money in its hands, and then happily launched the war of unification. The situation is very good.
All the way the gods should kill the gods, the Buddhas block and kill the Buddhas!
Nicholas II's army has captured Yekaterinburg, and the little Nicholas Tsar has already rushed to the north, only to chase and perish to the north and dominate the country.
At this critical time, the army of Nicholas II entered the Siberian Plain and was flooded by the Seven Army in the Ob River.
Ferdinand is not clear about the specifics. In short, the final result is that Comrade Stalin is even better, blowing up the dam on the upper reaches of the Ob River and reimbursing the main force of Nicholas II’s eastward army.
Of course, as a price, millions of Russian people, along with more than 100,000 Eastern Russian troops, became burial objects, and Wanlize State was born.
The loss has not yet been calculated, and the unification war initiated by the government of Nicholas II is now completely ruined.
The blow to the Nicholas II government from this battle was very deadly, and they were unable to wage war again for at least ten years.
With the information transmitted from within Russia, Ferdinand knew that it was the rebels' turn to counterattack next, and once the flood receded, they would be offensive and defensive.
The troops in the hands of Nicholas II now consist of second- and third-line troops, with very few main troops left, and there are still very serious morale problems.
Ferdinand doubted that if he did not intervene, a new Soviet Union would once again appear above Bulgaria.
The government of Tsar Nicholas has been maimed, and the government of Nicholas II has suffered heavy losses. No one thought that the final winner would be Comrade Stalin who was lurking in Siberia.
"Tell me, what should we do about the current situation in Russia?" Ferdinand asked very depressed.
"Your Majesty, we must intervene in the civil war. Now the Tsarist government is powerless to unify the country. We absolutely cannot tolerate the birth of a Russian government that is hostile to Bulgaria!" Constantine said categorically
"I also know that we must intervene, but how should we intervene?" Ferdinand Zou asked with frowning.
"Your Majesty, convene a meeting of the League of Nations to call on all parties in Russia to cease the war and use the actual demarcation line as the boundary to dismember the Russian Empire!" Constantine thought for a while and said.
"I also know that this is the most favorable plan for us at the moment, but the government of Nicholas II does not necessarily want us to directly intervene. They still dream of unifying the country?
Once the Siberian government launches a counter-offensive, they will definitely be defeated. At that time, it will be impossible to think of a truce under the current conditions!
Now Nicholas II, can he listen to our advice? "Ferdinand said with a headache
"Your Majesty, no matter what the Russians think, we must do this. First, inform Nicholas II of the current situation and suggest that he seek help from the League of Nations!
As for the plan to split the Russian empire, we can leave it alone. Someone will put forward the truce negotiations at that time! "Medev suggested
"Okay, let's do it! We will convey our meaning to the Russians. As for what choice Nicholas II makes, I am afraid he can't help it!" Ferdinand said with a wry smile
This time it was really not that he was going to stab the Russians. It was entirely because the government of Nicholas II showed too much waste. Such obvious advantages can be defeated. Who can blame this?
Is it too cruel to blame the enemy?
When the two armies fight, as long as they can win, who cares about the process? It is no longer the age of knights in the Middle Ages, and the victor does not need to be blamed!
If the government of Nicholas II fails, then it will be recorded in future history that the tsarist reactionary government blasted the dam in order to suppress the revolution. The floods scattered hundreds of thousands of revolutionary troops and caused the displacement of millions of innocent people!
Finally, I would like to comment on a few words: how the tsarist government is anti-humanity and anti-society. All these reactionary activities disappeared under the brave and fearless resistance of the revolutionary party!
Finally came to the conclusion: the unpopular tyranny will eventually be overthrown!
Well, these are all made up by Ferdinand, and he sent the contents to Nicholas II intact.
Even Ferdinand can guess how Nicholas II was furious after receiving this telegram, and then how helpless he was.
In the long-term war, the population of the Russian Empire has been faulted. If someone conducts a national census again, they will be surprised to find that the population of Russia is less than 100 million?
It is estimated that the Tsarist government has not discovered this problem. The population of the Russian Empire has continued to decline since the outbreak of the World War.
Especially after the outbreak of the Civil War, Russia's birth rate dropped to a trough. The biggest reason is that a large number of young and strong laborers have entered the army, and a large number of Russian women of the right age cannot find a husband.
And this kind of population decline is continuous. From 1915 to the present, the Russian Empire has actually lost a generation.
This is a vicious circle. According to the most optimistic estimate of the Bulgarian Population Agency, if the Russian Empire immediately ceases the war, the domestic economy will return to normal levels.
The population of the Russian Empire will fall by 10% in the next ten years, and the population of the Russian Empire will fall by a quarter in the next two decades.
This is caused by the current demographic structure of the Russian Empire. After more than ten years of war, the Russian Empire has lost at least 15 million young men. The ratio of males to females in the population of 20-40 years old is now It becomes 1:2.3.
Similarly, affected by the war, the fertility rate has been declining in the past decade, and the number of children between the ages of 0 and 12 is less than 9% of the population and less than half of the normal rate.
This means that the Russian Empire has entered an aging society. Although their average life expectancy is not long now, people in their 50s and 60s are becoming the main force in this country, which is an indisputable fact.
In this context, the feminist movement in the Russian Empire has also fallen into a trough. Although the International Feminist Organization believes that they should be at the forefront of the world, the result is just the opposite.
In the face of life and rights, many people have to compromise with reality.

St. Petersburg
After Nicholas II received the telegram from Ferdinand, there was no rage, and a series of bad news had consumed his anger.
The sudden bad news had already knocked out his energy. Ferdinand suggested that he seek help from the League of Nations. In fact, Nicholas II was very tempted.
What he needs most now is time. Even if no agreement can be reached at the League of Nations meeting, he can use the time of armistice negotiations to regroup.
But what worries him most is that the League of Nations will expressly stipulate in a treaty to split the Russian Empire.
This political influence is very deadly, enough to shake the foundation of his rule.
But the reputation of the Russian Empire in the world is not very good. Even if European countries are allowed to vote with their feet, they all support splitting the Russian Empire.
There is not much time left for Nicholas II, and he must bring everyone to the negotiating table before the enemy’s meal.
Bulgaria’s attitude is very clear. Only when the League of Nations intervenes will they intervene in this Russian civil war. Otherwise, even as an ally, there is no reason to intervene in the alliance’s civil war?
What will happen without Bulgaria’s support? Without answering this question, you know that the result will be very detrimental to the tsarist government.
Since the frontline defeat came, the Finnish region has been unstable, and revolutionary forces have appeared in the Russians.
If the front line is defeated again, the current basic set will be difficult to keep. Even supporters of Nicholas II, they cannot tolerate continuous failure.
Although Ferdinand’s words were very unacceptable, Nicholas II still recognized it, especially the most critical sentence—the Russian people’s tolerance for the government has reached its limit. If the war continues, they will There was a riot.
"Prime Minister, if we ask the League of Nations for help now, how many countries will be on our side?" Nicholas II asked very concerned.
"Your Majesty, we are the only legitimate government recognized by the international community. In theory, everyone will be on our side, but European countries don't want to see a powerful Russian empire appear, so they are likely to support the rebels!
If we want to get more support from the international community, we must do more diplomatic efforts, which will all take time! "The Prime Minister thought for a while and said
"You mean, there is no country that is completely on our side now?" Nicholas II asked very depressed.
"Your Majesty, these are issues left over from history. If we make a diplomatic effort, we can still bring most countries over, provided that no major powers interfere!" the Prime Minister explained.
"Forget it, unless we can persuade Britain and France to support us, it will be of no use even if we pull all the European countries over!" Nicholas II thought for a while and said
International support is said to be important and important, and it is not important to say it is not important. In the end, it depends on everyone's force.
Ferdinand's meaning is very clear. Now the Czarist government is in a disadvantaged position. He suggested that the Czar ask the League of Nations for help and negotiate to end the war.
After all, the so-called international treaties are the same. If the tsarist government becomes stronger in the future, it can also tear up the treaties and re-launch the war of unification.
It’s just that it’s a bit more difficult, and it has been criticized by the international community. In the lifetime of Nicholas II, I guess I don't want to see it anymore.
"Your Majesty, the truce negotiations are now in our favor.
Although the rebels occupy three-quarters of the Russian Empire, most of them are frozen ground. The territory we control now is the essence of the Russian Empire.
Economically, the regions under our control have always accounted for more than 65 percent of the Russian Empire’s economy.
In industry, the regions under our control account for more than 80% of the total industrial volume of the Russian Empire.
In terms of population, we control the population of the region, accounting for 68.2% of the total population of the Russian Empire.
Although these data are all pre-war, these proportions may change due to war factors, but we still have an advantage in terms of overall strength.
Now what we need most is time. Once the war is over and the economy can return to normal, our recovery speed is definitely not comparable to the rebels! "The Prime Minister persuaded
Nicholas II glanced at everyone, and he knew from the expressions of everyone that everyone wanted to end the war first.
As those with vested interests, these people have eaten enough. The most important thing now is to stay safe. If the fighting continues, the people under the rule will be forced to rebel, and they will be finished.
Nicholas II had to consider the attitude of these interest classes. Without the support of these people, even if he wanted to continue the war, he would not be able to do it.
"Well, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs submitted an application to the League of Nations, inviting countries around the world to join forces to stop the spread of Bolshevism!" Nicholas II said helplessly
In addition to this different ideological reason, Nicholas II never thought of a reason to win the support of various countries.
The Russian-Russian Alliance, once considered the greatest diplomatic achievement of the Russian Empire in the last century, has now become a stumbling block for the Russian Empire.
As long as this alliance does not dissolve for a day, it will be impossible for Britain and France to relax their vigilance against the Russian Empire and give up their suppression.
Had it not been for the sudden outbreak of civil war in the Russian Empire, it would not have been the Russian Alliance, but a Slavic Federation empire that made the world tremble.
This was also the greatest pain in Nicholas II's heart, and he was only a step away from the world's largest empire.
Therefore, he hated the rebels to his bones, even if these rebellions broke out a year or a half later, the Slavic Federation Empire had already been established.
As long as the federal empire is established, any rebellion is a floating cloud and can be easily eliminated.
It's a pity that history has not happened. With the outbreak of the Russian rebellion and the leak of the secret agreement, all of this disappeared.
Out of fear of the Slavic Federal Empire, Britain and France unanimously chose to suppress the Russian Empire, causing an imbalance in the power of Russia and Bulgaria.
Even if the Slavic empire was established at this time, Bulgaria was the mainstay. Can Nicholas II agree?
Obviously this is impossible!
Even if he doesn't care about the gains or losses of his personal interests, the Russian people can't agree. They are used to being the bosses and suddenly let them be younger brothers. No one can bear this kind of mental gap?
The idea of ​​"dissolving the Russian Federation" has appeared in Nicholas II's mind more than once, but in the end he never proposed it.
The political influence of this is too great. From top to bottom, all strata of the Russian Empire did not want to dissolve the alliance, which is contrary to their interests.
We can't tell the people that in order to avoid British and French suppression, we should dissolve the Russian Federation?
For this reason, it is estimated that the Russian people will change to a normal-minded czar.
Britain and France have suppressed the Russian Empire for hundreds of years. They were beaten by Britain and France in the Crimean War 80 or 90 years ago, and Bulgaria has not yet been born.
Now you tell them that as long as the Russian-Russian alliance does not exist~EbookFREE.me~ or even the two countries become enemies, Britain and France will no longer suppress the Russian Empire. Who will believe it?
It is estimated that this can be regarded as a neurosis if you say it!
The British and French suppression is at best the use of some small means, and can not kill the Russian empire, but to protect Russia, it can immediately kill the tsarist government, this is the fact that lies ahead!
Whether they admit it or not, without Bulgaria's renewal of their lives, the tsarist government would have collapsed long ago, and the economies of the two countries have long been tied together!
Everyone knows that the economic pillar of the Tsarist government is the export of mineral resources, and Bulgaria is the only importer of these resources.
It's not that they don't want to sell to others, they really can't find a buyer.
It turns out that they can also sell to Italy and Germany. Since these two countries started OEMs for Britain and France, they have no interest in these mineral resources.
After Bulgaria purchased these mineral resources, it exported the industrial products it produced to the Russians, which was equivalent to a cycle.
Coupled with the trade balance doctrine pursued by Ferdinand, even if the trade structure between Bulgaria and Russia is not equal, it has not produced a large trade deficit.
This made the Russians very satisfied. This balanced trade is the long-term solution, so even if the Bulgarian industrial and commercial products are flooded with Russian shops, it did not cause a fierce backlash from the Russians!
Trade is balanced, wealth does not flow out, there is no economic plunder, and naturally there is no dispute.
As a price, many domestic minerals in Bulgaria have been sealed up, and the priority is to purchase and use Russian minerals, which barely maintains this balance.
Of course, if there was no land transaction case, the arms trade would have broken this balance a long time ago. After all, such a big order that suddenly appeared, Ferdinand would not be able to balance it.
