Chapter 112: Big wedding

Time passed quickly, another year passed, and it entered 1894.
This year, the "Jinwu War" that shocked the world broke out, and Japan reeled on the road of counterattack perfectly, and finally joined the ranks of the powers.
This matter has little to do with Bulgaria. It's too far away. Ferdinand could not help but sigh a long time. The passerby was not almighty.
He is still busy preparing for a big wedding? The king's wedding is not a trivial matter. There is a complicated set of etiquette in both the East and the West.
I can be sure that Ferdinand will make a lot of money this time. Although Russia's finances are not rich, the Tsars are definitely rich owners, and for the aristocracy's sake, dowry is also indispensable. With reference to her mother, Princess Clementine, Ferdinand probably knew it.
The cost of the wedding, this is a political marriage, and the cabinet is ready for it, without Ferdinand worrying about it.
In fact, the Bulgarian government attaches more importance to this wedding than Ferdinand. Interest is always the best catalyst. After the alliance between Russia and Bulgaria, the economies of the two countries have almost become one, and both sides have benefited!
In order to show the importance attached to this wedding, Jeff Ferdinand directly sent a 20,000 standing army as the honor guard. There was no objection from the cabinet, and even Ferdinand's prepared speech was not used!
I have already been to Alexander III of Bo Xishan. These days, my mood is particularly good. Ferdinand's pomp is really in line with his identity.
Directly take out 20,000 troops as the guard of honor. Such a big effort is not easy. There are few in Europe that can take it out! That is, Ferdinand covered the sky in Bulgaria, and the two parties were politically married. No one opposed it.
Not surprisingly, Ferdinand's hidden purpose was undetected. As long as it is a normal person, it will not be considered that Bulgaria dared to fight Russia's idea, it is simply heaven and earth!
Maria Feodorovna later interrupted Alexander III's good mood, and Zou frowned, "Dear, it seems that we have not prepared enough before, at least the number of honor guards is too small, which will lose us. face!"
三 Alexander III thought about it and said, "Of course! Rest assured, it won't happen! Now that Ferdinand can come up with 20,000 guards of honor, we can double it directly. How can we not look down!"
但是 "But what about the cost? Isn't it a small number?" Maria Feodorovna asked worriedly.
三 Alexander III smiled and said, "This is an opportunity, isn't it? We can take the opportunity to show the world the strength of the Russian Empire! Ferdinand Jr. knows how to use it, how can we miss it?"
展示 "Show strength?" Maria Feodorovna
三 Alexander III said affirmatively: "Yes! I can bet that if the Bulgarian army performs well this time, Bulgaria's right to speak in the Balkans will greatly increase!"
Queen Maria Feodorovna thought about it, and Zou frowned, "I didn't expect a wedding, and there are so many halls of fame, and it makes me happy!"
三 Alexander III smiled and looked at Nicholas in thought and asked, "Yes, what do you think of Nicholas?"
Nicholas asked in confusion: "It is time for the Russian Empire to show our strength to the outside world, especially our ally France, and Germany is putting a lot of pressure on them now! But since we want to show our strength, why not make the scene bigger What about? "
After listening to Nicholas, Alexander III laughed and said, "Yes, Nicholas you have grown up, but it is not mature enough politically! At this point, Ferdinand is doing a good job! Think about ours What is the purpose??"
Nicholas is not yet a high-ranking tsar. He hasn't reached the point of his own use. After thinking about it, he said, "I understand. In addition to encouraging the French, the main purpose of this demonstration was to deter European countries, but it was not On behalf of us, we have to help the French take over the pressure from Germany! "
"That's right, we just need to deter Germany, and we can alleviate the pressure on France! It is not necessary to launch a nationwide battle for an ally and avenge them! Now Britain, Germany, Austria, Italy The four nations are moving closer to each other, which is not good for our diplomacy! "Alexander III said intently
"But what does this have to do with reversing the closeness of Britain, Germany, Austria, and Italy?" Nicholas asked, puzzled.
三 Alexander III rubbed his head and said helplessly: "Nicholas, your international diplomacy is still failing! Think about it, except that we are not willing to see the four nations alliance, who else is more worried?"
"It's France !!" Nicholas said without hesitation
"That's right. After we alleviate the pressure on France on the European continent, France will have the energy to dismantle this unformed" Four Nations "!" Alexander III sighed and said
After listening to Alexander III's explanation, Nicholas fell into deep contemplation. An episode in a wedding actually involved such a deep international diplomatic relationship.
Uh ...
Regardless of how Alexander III educated his son, Ferdinand's wedding started smoothly.
The puppet team members made a mighty excuse in Romania. Fortunately, there is no allusion to "fake roads" in Europe, otherwise Carol I could not sleep!
The most elite army of 60,000 troops from Russia and Bulgaria ~ EbookFREE.me ~ If the wave really comes, it is enough for Romania to drink a pot. Of course, Ferdinand can only be yy, and if you dare to do this in Europe, you don't want to mix up.
武装 This armed training gave a good lesson to the Bulgarian logistics department. Fortunately, it was just a march. The supplies were still barely available. The inadequate parts could be purchased locally.
If it is war, Ferdinand can go straight to his home. Shortly after leaving Bulgaria, supplies were experiencing difficulties due to poor traffic conditions!
In fact, the performance of the Bulgarian army has attracted worldwide attention. The uniform queue and the super fast marching speed have refreshed the outside world! !!
Combat strength, regardless of discipline and march, at least surpassed the Russian army, and earned Ferdinand a face.
For their own purposes, this wedding has begun to deteriorate, both in size and grade, it can be described as unprecedented. Even after a hundred years, it can still be talked about.
Looking at the bill, the amazing cost was called Ferdinand's blood dripping deeply. The wedding cost alone is as high as two million levs. If this armed training is counted, no five or six million levs are uncertain. This can create two fearless ships.
If it is not as amazing as the harvest, it will make up for Ferdinand's injured heart, and it is estimated that it will be more uncomfortable now.
Politically, this marriage has consolidated the Russo-Russian alliance and at the same time deterred the Balkan countries. At least Romania was hurt! !!
Economically, the people-to-people exchanges between the two countries have deepened, and Ferdinand personally has made a lot of money. In addition to a bunch of valuable gifts, the dowry of Princess Shenia is the big head. Although there is no actual right, the mineral resources of the Grand Duchess of Guangdu are difficult to estimate!
Uh ...
