Well, all the words have been finished by Ferdinand, everyone just needs to decide whether to do it or not!
In fact, the two roads ahead, Bulgarian government has no choice at all.
没有 There is no free lunch in the world. How can it be possible to get benefits without paying a price?
The Russians have fought with the Turks for more than 200 years for the Bosporus, and now they will support Bulgaria for Constantinople in vain, stop dreaming!
Jeffrey Dinan's strategy was never conceived in Constantinople. Who ca n’t call the Bosporus, the lifeblood of Russians entering the Mediterranean?
I mastered Constantinople, and then the Bosphorus, and of course the Dardanelles, which was also the way for the Russians to enter the Mediterranean.
Now the purpose of the Russians is very obvious. While the British are busy competing with the Germans for South Africa, and the French for North Africa, seize the Black Sea Strait and control the Marmara Sea in their hands.
Once this strategic goal is completed, the Russians are against the Mediterranean: advance, attack, retreat, and defend, and they are invincible on the a priori!
保加利亚 Now if Bulgaria rejects the Russian proposal, it is equivalent to interrupting the Russians' Mediterranean strategy. The end is self-evident!
Similarly, the Russians ’Mediterranean strategy is also in the French interest. Only when the Russians enter the Mediterranean will they not concentrate on the Far East strategy, or even abandon the Far East strategy, which will help ease the pressure on France on the European continent!
Bulgaria has no choice now, a hard work, a harvest!
斐 In Ferdinand's opinion, the Russians did quite well this time. Although the price paid by Bulgaria this time was huge, the benefits given were also huge!
Even with generosity, Bulgaria can still obtain more than 100,000 square kilometers of land including Istanbul, Macedonia, Eastern Thrace, Albania, and more!
他 In his opinion, all of this can be compromised. Anyway, after the World War, these rights will return to Bulgarian hands. It is completely acceptable to use a temporary compromise in exchange for the growth of Bulgaria!
After a moment's silence, Prime Minister Constantine sighed and said, "You guys, we have no choice at all right now! By agreeing to the conditions of the Russians, Greater Bulgaria is basically completed, and the dreams of generations are in us. Barely realized!
As for the future, we can only take one step at a time. As long as Bulgaria is strong enough, none of this is a problem! "
Obviously, Prime Minister Constantine is sensible and has not been stunned by anger, knowing what is in the best interest of Bulgaria!
The conditions of the puppet Russians just happened to be stuck. The Bulgarian navy should call the maritime police more suitable. It is a joke to ask them to master the Marmara Sea!
In this case, it is better to give it to the Russians. After all, if the connection between Europe and Asia in the Ottoman Empire is cut off, Bulgaria's odds will increase a lot.
As for the military ports on the future territory, they will be controlled by the Russians. It doesn't matter. Anyway, it is still the Turks' territory, and it will be calculated that it will sell no more benefits, and everyone will not feel the pain.
This is equivalent to the Bulgarian army and the Russians joining the navy to attack the Ottoman Empire. Everyone will divide the loot again, and everyone does not have to worry about the insult of the traitor!
Following the Minister of Foreign Affairs Metiev, he also said: "The current international situation is very good for us. The British are bound to win over South Africa, and the Germans are not willing to let go. They supported the Boers and the British to fight in South Africa. And won the support of European society, won't be separated in a short time!
At the same time, because of the Egyptian problem, the British and the Turks ravaged, leaving aside the Russian Empire, they also wished that we could weaken the Ottoman Empire to protect their interests in Egypt.
The Austro-Hungarian Empire already had plans for the Balkans. They hoped to annex Bosnia and Herzegovina. Prior to the strong resistance of the Turks and the opposition of the Russians, it had not been realized.
Alas, now we have to add another Serbia. In this regard, we can cooperate. Presumably the Russians are also willing to do this transaction with them!
As for the other powers, they have limited strength in the Balkans and cannot interfere with our actions!
What's more, it's still the weakest time for the Turks, the country is in a mess, and the endless national uprisings are exhausting the last details of this big empire! "
For a moment, Ferdinand did not expect that the foreign minister, who was usually invisible, was still a thorough hawk. Now he is starting to encourage everyone to do it.
And his proposal is exactly what Ferdinand needs now. He successfully diverted everyone's attention, and now many people are impatient.
Of course, Ferdinand also knows that this is based on the premise of not harming Bulgaria's core interests. Now Bulgaria is at the height of nationalism ~ EbookFREE.me ~ everyone is inevitably affected, and attaches great importance to national interests.
However, Ferdinand interrupted the unrealistic delusions of everyone.
"Well, let's take back our thoughts! We are not ready at all. Weapons and ammunition are still a pile of raw materials. Even if the chance is better, we cannot learn Serbs and let the soldiers hold a pile of broken copper and iron Send him directly to the battlefield! "
With Serbia, a negative textbook, Bulgaria is no longer popular with "Courage to Win". After all, the Serbian soldiers are really heroic, but they have not been defeated by the Bulgarian army on the battlefield!
Everyone secretly lamented that they had missed a golden opportunity. Ferdinand did not take it for granted. The internal contradictions of the Ottoman Empire had a long history. How could it be cleared in a short while.
The international situation does not change a day or two. The value of South Africa is too great to be jealous all over Europe, and Britain intends to kick the Germans alone and not to block them. Is that still William II?
Even if the British can pay the Germans a fair price, what about the French, the Spanish, the Dutch ...? Can't you just set everything right? With the support of the powers, the Boers will not be so easy to handle!
不 Hasn't it been three years in history? This is based on the premise that the British flattened the Germans, attracted the Portuguese, and incidentally pitted a Spaniard in the Spanish-American War and won the support of the Americans.
Now? The Americans were still the pioneers of anti-Britishism. They were not brave enough, but they sent volunteers to bring boiled food to help the Boers.
Alas, in history, the US government supported the British, but the private sector still donated money, organized volunteers, and stopped the British.
