Vol 4 Chapter 78: Ambition of the Greeks

"Your Majesty, our 6th Army is ready, and we can go to the 6th Asia Minor Peninsula at any time!" The 6th Army Minister Popov said solemnly
"Your Majesty, our navy is also ready to cover the 6th army and board the 6th at any time!" The Secretary of the Navy Petrov added
Ferdinand knew that the military had long been unable to bear it. If it hadn't been forcibly suppressed by themselves, they would have done it long ago.
The contradiction between Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire has long been unable to alleviate, and it is undoubtedly the best choice to settle grievances during the world war. So now let the Ottomans make one last contribution, Ferdinand secretly thought.
"Well, Syria can fall!" Ferdinand said lightly
He knew that this order might kill millions of people, but politics is so cruel.
Now the Syrian region is different from the desolation during the Ottoman Empire. The first Greeks arrived, and the Romanians and Montenegrin who arrived later have a total population of 3.18 million.
Among them, there are 1.78 million immigrants from Greece, 430,000 from the Kingdom of Montenegro, and the remaining 970,000 are Romanians.
If Bulgaria wants to defend, just arm them. Obviously Ferdinand would not do this, which is not in Bulgaria's interest.
Of course, it is impossible for Bulgaria to abandon Syria suddenly, as it is easy to be seen by others and cause unnecessary trouble.
Among the immigrants who migrated from Montenegro, many were once supporters of the Ottoman Empire. If they were given an opportunity to lead the way, the defeat of the defenders would be logical!
The intelligence department is even more adept at this aspect, so the new Syrian garrison commander is Major General Vicky Clinton from the intelligence department. His mission this time is to discard Syria in two months!
Well, defeating a war is unacceptable for any general, but for the agents of the intelligence department, it is nothing.
They have all encountered even more bizarre missions, so who can let them meet the boss of Ferdinand? He was baptized by the Internet in later generations and naturally borrowed many classic routines.
After Syria fell to the defense, he took the 6th battle again, which was decided after careful consideration by Ferdinand. If you want to borrow a knife to kill someone, you have to give the enemy a chance to use the knife?
After the Ottomans take action, Bulgaria will again appear as a savior. Even if the conflict with these immigrants cannot be resolved, at least part of the hatred can be transferred smoothly.
...
While letting Syria fall, the Bulgarian army also launched an offensive against the Italian colony of Eritrea.
Oh, after the outbreak of the World War, the Italian colonial government in Eritrea surprisingly declared neutrality.
Seeing that they are safe enough and not strategically important, the Entente did not find their bad luck for a while, and now their good days are over.
Obviously they are all smart people, otherwise they would not think of such a wonderful way to declare neutrality!
But smart people are also afraid of death. As soon as the Bulgarian Navy 6 team boarded the 6th, they announced their surrender.
Of course, one can't count on the combat effectiveness of the thousands of Italian soldiers who hang alone overseas.
In fact, it was not Ferdinand's intention to grab Eritrea, it was requested by George I. Jordan is really not a good place.
Being king in this kind of place is not suitable for the unpaid George I. Although he is not young anymore, he still wants to fight.
Eritrea is different. It is not far from the Suez Canal and has convenient maritime trade. It is also large in Africa and far away from the core areas of European powers.
Ethiopia, which was next to George I, was treated as fat, effectively imitating Ferdinand's posture of overturning the Ottoman Empire, preparing to annex Ethiopia to establish a new empire.
In Ferdinand's view, this is another person who has been fooled by the "rise of great powers." In fact, the theory of "the rise of great powers" developed by Ferdinand is still very popular all over the world, and there are really many people who believe in his theory.
King George I can be said to have witnessed the road to the rise of Bulgaria. His feelings are even deeper, and he naturally accepted this theory when he was rushed to the hospital.
By the way, I also used this theory to persuade many elites among Greeks. The reality is before my eyes. Even if the country is restored on the Greek peninsula, it is destined to be a small one, without the slightest chance of becoming a powerful country.
But the African Big 6 is different. Once Greece annexes Ethiopia, the foundation of a great power will be there, and the opportunity to revive Greece is now.
Of course, this is also in Europe, where the mind is relatively open, people can leave their homes and accept the wonderful theory that the country can be built wherever the person is.
Then the Greek government signed a territorial transaction agreement with Bulgaria, that is, the Greek peninsula would be exchanged for Eritrea. Taking into account the different degrees of development between the two sides, Bulgaria was responsible for helping Greece "relocate" as compensation.
The whole world was stunned, but considering European traditions, there are also many cases of trading territories. It's just that in the past century, there have been very few cases of nationwide migration.
Shocked, shocked, but now the world war is fighting fiercely, and everyone has no time to pay attention to this little thing.
Anyway, everyone has been mentally prepared for Bulgaria's annexation of the Greek peninsula. There are not many Greeks on the Greek peninsula. It is not surprising that the Greek government has made such a decision. If it does not run, it will be completely annexed.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is Bulgarian tossing around, and it has nothing to do with them anyway.
But in the eyes of politicians, it is completely different. This treaty provides a legal basis for Bulgaria to annex the Greek Peninsula. This allows many countries that are interested in expanding their territories in Europe to see new opportunities.
Among them, the Germans and French have the greatest interest and their ambitions.
The Spaniards seemed to be preparing to make another such territorial deal with Portugal, but it was a pity that the Portuguese decisively rejected it. Now that Portugal has joined the Allied Powers, the Spanish dare not move.
Regardless of what the outside world thinks, George I has taken the loan from Ferdinand and went to Eritrea to announce the rebuilding of the Kingdom of Greece in a high-profile manner.
With the withdrawal of the Greek government, Bulgaria also completely 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. In the future, so many places in the Ottoman Empire will need to be renamed. This requires checking a lot of information and compiling the theoretical basis for the rename.
Anyway, according to Ferdinand's request, it is to find allusions if there are historical allusions, and if there is no historical allusions, compile allusions by yourself. In short, we must determine Bulgaria's legal inheritance rights to these territories.
Prior to this, experts have verified the legality of Bulgaria against Asia Minor. This can be traced back to the 2nd century AD. Although it has been a little longer, it is enough.
The main reason is that modern history is not easy to compile and easy to wear, but ancient history is difficult to verify. According to the logic of these experts, Bulgaria probably has legal inheritance rights over most of Asia.
Anyway, they have more ancestors. As a mixed race, they can inherit a lot of inheritance.
Of course, these theoretical foundations are still being improved. According to Ferdinand's estimation, such true and false information should be able to drive future historians crazy!
...
With the re-establishment of the Kingdom of Greece, George I still attracted many talents, and the Greeks scattered around the world every day tried to return to the "New Kingdom of Greece."
Affected by the theory of "the rise of great powers", this time everyone did not blame George I. Instead, they believed that he was courageous and could bring new hope to Greece.
George I was dark enough to throw out the pot of two failures in Greece's two wars, and directly washed himself white.
Even the pot of the Greek-Turkish war was pushed to the cabinet, accusing them of corruption, and the deduction of military payments caused the loss of combat effectiveness of the Greek army, which allowed Bulgaria to rise once.
The gambling agreement he and Ferdinand signed at the beginning was completely fair, but it was a pity that the government was too corrupt and the army was too weak to fight.
If the Greek army also has the same combat effectiveness as the Bulgarian army, then at least half of the Balkan Peninsula is now Greek territory.
It is justified and well-founded, but it is actually preparing to follow the Bulgarian system. "A constitutional monarchy centered on the king" is what the outside world thinks of Bulgaria!
This is where the outside world most doubts. Obviously, Bulgaria also has a parliament, which was also democratically elected. But these congressmen have absolutely no intention of pointing fingers at the government, and they usually do what they should do.
It can only be said that these congressmen do not care enough about politics. UU reading www.uukanshu.com, but their laissez-faire, Bulgaria is still developing very well, even more stable than any other country.
This makes many politicians envy, and out of their own interests, they naturally hope that the Congress can emulate Bulgaria and often advocate the superiority of the Bulgarian system.
The current Greek government is a staff of George I's cronies. As for the original batch of worms, he naturally wiped them off, and the stolen money found out was used by him as the reconstruction fund for the Kingdom of Greece.
Coupled with the hot-blooded young people who came from all over the world, the newly born Kingdom of Greece had a thriving scene, and Ferdinand was stunned.
Is it true that the theory of the rise of great powers that he has tossed about is really feasible? Of course, this still needs time to verify, but George I is a good start to this theory.
...
After getting rid of the control of Bulgaria and coming to Eritrea, George I felt like a bird flying in the sky, and he seemed to be ten years younger.
"Xiang, how is the immigration work going?" George I asked concerned.
The minister said vigorously: "Your Majesty, everything is going well. Since the rebuilding of the Kingdom of Greece, we have received more than 10,000 immigrants in just over a month.
And from the information from all over the world, Greeks all over the world are willing to support us in rebuilding the Kingdom of Greece. Many people are limited by the world war and cannot come over.
If nothing happens, the number of immigrants after the end of the world war will increase greatly.
At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has reached an agreement with Bulgaria, and they agreed to repatriate all Greeks in Syria. It won’t be long before we can reorganize our army, conquer Ethiopia and establish the Great Kingdom of Greece! "
