Vol 4 Chapter 78: Greek ambition

"Your Majesty, our army is ready to land on the Asia Minor Peninsula at any time!" Said Popov Popov seriously
"Your Majesty, our Navy is also ready to cover the landing of the Army at any time!" Navy Secretary Petrov added
Ferdinand knew that the military would not be able to bear it anymore. If it hadn't been forcibly suppressed by themselves, they would have already started.
The contradiction between Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire could not be eased long ago, and the settlement of grievances in the World War is undoubtedly the best choice. Then let the Ottomans make a final contribution now, Ferdinand secretly thought.
"Well, Syria can fall out!" Ferdinand said lightly.
He knew that the order could kill millions of people, but politics was so cruel.
Now the Syrian region is different from the desolation of the Ottoman Empire. The earliest Greeks, Romanians and Montenegros who arrived later, have a total population of 3.18 million.
Among them, there were 1.78 million immigrants from Greece, 430,000 from Montenegro, and the remaining 970,000 were Romanians.
If Bulgaria wants to defend, just arm them and you're done. Obviously Ferdinand will not do this, which is not in the interest of Bulgaria.
Of course, it is impossible for Bulgaria to abandon Syria suddenly, so it is easy to be seen as flawed and cause unnecessary trouble.
Among the immigrants who migrated from Montenegro, there were many former supporters of the Ottoman Empire. If they were to be given an opportunity, the defeat of the garrison when they led the way would be logical!
In this respect, the intelligence department is even better, so Syria's new garrison commander is Major General Vicki Clinton, who is from the intelligence department. His task this time is to reasonably and reasonably throw away Syria in two months!
Well, defeating the war is unacceptable to any general, but for intelligence agents, it's nothing.
They have encountered even more strange tasks. Who can make them meet the boss of Ferdinand? He was baptized by the Internet in future generations, and naturally borrowed many classic routines.
After Syria fell, it launched a landing operation, which was decided after Ferdinand's careful consideration. If you want to use a knife to kill someone, you also need to give the enemy a chance to use a knife?
After the Ottomans started, Bulgaria appeared as a savior. Even if the conflicts with these immigrants could not be resolved, at least part of the hatred could be smoothly transferred.
...
At the same time that Syria had fallen, the Bulgarian army launched an offensive against the Italian colony, Eritrea.
Well, after the outbreak of the World War, the Italian colonial government in Eritrea declared it strangely neutral.
Seeing that they are safe and quiet, and not a strategic place, the Allies did not look for their obscurity for a while and a half, and now their good days are over.
Obviously they are all smart people, otherwise they would not have thought of such a wonderful way to declare neutrality!
But smart people also have a fear of death. As soon as the Bulgarian Marines landed, they announced their surrender.
Of course, we cannot count on how powerful the thousands of Italian soldiers who are lonely overseas can have.
In fact, it was not Ferdinand's intention to rob Iliteria, which was requested by George I. Jordan is really not a good place.
Being king in such a place is not suitable for unrequited George I. Although he is no longer young, he still wants to struggle.
Iliteria is not the same. It is not far from the Suez Canal to facilitate marine trade, but also on the African continent, far from the core areas of European powers.
Ethiopia next to it was regarded as fat by George I, effectively mimicking Ferdinand's stance of the Ottoman Empire and preparing to annex Ethiopia to establish a new empire.
In Ferdinand's view, this is another person who has been dumbfounded by the "rise of the great powers". In fact, Ferdinand's "rising of the great power" theory has spread around the world, and many people believe in his theory.
George I can be said to have witnessed the rise of Bulgaria. His feelings are still deeper, and he naturally accepted this theory when he was in an emergency.
By the way, I also persuaded many elite members of the Greeks to take this theory. The reality is in front of me. Even if the Greek peninsula is a restored country, it is destined to be a small one.
But the African continent is different. Once Greece has annexed Ethiopia, the foundation of a great power will be available, and the opportunity to restore Greece is at hand.
Of course, this is also in Europe, where the mind is relatively open, and people can leave their homes and accept the strange theory that people can build where they are.
Then the Greek government signed a territorial transaction agreement with Bulgaria, in which the Greek peninsula was exchanged for Eritrea. Considering the different development levels on both sides, Bulgaria was responsible for helping Greece
relocate
as compensation.
The world is stunned, but considering European traditions, the situation in trading territories is not uncommon. It's just that in the past 100 years, such national migration has rarely happened.
Shocked and shocked, but now the World War is being fought fiercely, and everyone has not paid much attention to this trivial matter.
Anyway, everyone has long been thinking about Bulgaria's annexation of the Greek peninsula. Now there are few Greeks on the Greek peninsula. It is not surprising that the Greek government made such a decision. It will be completely annexed if it does not run.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is Bulgaria's mess, and it has nothing to do with them anyway.
But politicians look completely different. This treaty provides a legal basis for Bulgaria's annexation of the Greek peninsula. This has allowed many countries interested in expanding their territories on the European continent to see new opportunities.
Among them, Germans and French have the greatest interest, and their ambitions are the greatest.
The Spaniards seemed also prepared to make another territorial deal with Portugal. Unfortunately, the Portuguese refused decisively. Now that Portugal has joined the Allies, the Spanish are afraid to act rashly.
No matter what the outside world thinks, George I has taken the loan from Ferdinand and went to Eritrea to announce the rebuilding of the Greek kingdom.
With the withdrawal of the Greek government, Bulgaria also fully controlled the Greek peninsula. The first thing Ferdinand did was to find experts and scholars to change the name of the Greek peninsula.
This is not a small project, so many places in the future Ottoman Empire will need to be renamed. This requires a lot of information to be checked and the theoretical basis for the renamed.
Anyway, according to Ferdinand's request, it is to find allusions with historical allusions. If there is no historical allusions, compile them by yourself. In short, we must determine Bulgaria's legal inheritance of these territories.
Prior to this, experts have verified the legitimacy of Bulgaria on the Asia Minor Peninsula. This can be traced back to the 2nd century AD. Although it has been a long time, it is sufficient.
Mainly, modern history is not easy to compile and easy to wear, but ancient history is difficult to verify. According to the logic of these artillery experts, Bulgaria probably has the legal inheritance of most of Asia.
Anyway, they have many ancestors. As a mixed race, they have a lot of inheritance.
Of course, these theoretical bases are still being improved. According to Ferdinand's estimation, such true and false data should be able to drive the historians of later generations crazy!
...
The re-establishment of the Greek Kingdom, George I still attracted a lot of talents, and the Greeks distributed around the world every day tried to find ways to return to the "New Greek Kingdom."
Affected by the "rising of the great powers" theory, this time everyone did not blame George I for counseling, but instead thought that he had the courage and could bring new hope to Greece.
George I was also dark enough, dumping out the pans that failed in the two Greek wars, and washing himself directly.
Even the pot of the Greek-Turkish war, he pushed to the cabinet, accusing them of corruption and deprivation of the army, which caused the Greek army to lose its fighting power, and only allowed Bulgaria to rise.
The gambling agreement he signed with Ferdinand was completely fair. Unfortunately, the government failed because the government was too corrupt and the combat effectiveness of the army was too poor.
If the Greek army also has the equivalent combat power of the Bulgarian army, then at least half of the Balkans are now Greek territory.
To be justified, in fact, is to prepare to imitate the Bulgarian system. "Kingdom-centered monarchy", this is what the outside world thinks of Bulgaria!
This is the most confusing part of the outside world. It is clear that Bulgaria also has a parliament and was also elected through democratic elections. However, these lawmakers have no intention of pointing at the government at all. What should they usually do?
It can only be said that these members of parliament are not concerned enough with politics, but their laissez-faire is still developing well, and even more stable than any other country.
This has made many politicians envious. Out of their own interests, they naturally hope that the parliament can imitate Bulgaria and usually advocate the superiority of the Bulgarian system.
The current Greek government is a close friend of George I. As for the original batch of tapeworms, he was naturally wiped out, and the stolen money seized was used by him to finance the reconstruction of the Greek kingdom.
Coupled with the enthusiastic youth who came from all over the world, the new Greek kingdom turned into a flourishing scene, and Ferdinand was stunned.
Is it true that the theory of the rise of the great powers that they casually toss is really feasible? Of course, this takes time to verify, but George I is a good start to this theory.
...
After getting rid of Bulgarian control and coming to Eritrea ~ EbookFREE.me ~ George I had a feeling of being a high-flying bird. The whole person was like ten years younger.
"Prime Minister, how is immigration going?" George I asked with concern.
The Prime Minister said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, everything is going well. Since the reconstruction of the Greek Kingdom, we have received more than 10,000 immigrants in just one month.
And from the situation around the world, the Greeks around the world are willing to support our reconstruction of the Greek kingdom, many people are limited by the World War can not come.
If nothing else, the number of immigrants after the end of the World War will increase significantly.
At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Bulgaria have agreed to repatriate all Greeks in Syria. It won't be long before we can reorganize the army and conquer Ethiopia and establish the Great Greek Kingdom! "
