Vol 4 Chapter 26: ,Strategic Transformation

While Ferdinand was hesitant, a bad news interrupted his thoughts. On August 4, 1909, his mother, Princess Clementina, died.
The news came suddenly. They had lunch together at noon, but in the evening, a maid came to tell him that Princess Clementina had died!
Ferdinand feels very abrupt, Princess Clemantina's body has always been healthy, why do people suddenly say that it is gone?
He had thought that he had escaped the death robbery of 1907. Princess Clementina should be able to live for a long time. However, she did not expect that things would change. After two years, she still died!
Ferdinand is in a very bad mood. Although Princess Clementina is only the mother of the original owner, but after more than 20 years of getting along, the two sides have also developed deep feelings, and now it ’s gone!
Queen Shenia comforted comfortably: "Well, my dear, cheer up! Mother is walking peacefully, and she is still watching us in heaven?"
Ferdinand nodded his head reluctantly. He also saw a lot of wind and waves after crossing. He would not be beaten so easily by one thing!
The death of Princess Clementina had a great impact on Ferdinand, and she became conservative in her actions.
In this regard, the Ottomans should thank Princess Clementina, otherwise this time the Ottoman Empire may really be finished!
In fact, Ferdinand began to implement a conservative strategy, which is what Bulgaria now needs. After eating almost, it should be digested.
After more than 20 years of hard work, Bulgaria is no longer the poor country in the old days.
When you start a business, you need to dare to fight, and when you are a business, you need to be calm and calm. This is also true for a country!
While Ferdinand was busy for Princess Clementine's funeral, the battle on the front line also changed.
The first unlucky thing was the Kingdom of Montenegro. Even though Nicholas I was a hero, but there was still a lot of internal contradictions in the kingdom that had just been established for more than a decade.
After he failed to support the attack on Albania, the internal contradictions suppressed by him began to intensify slowly.
Montenegro's economic dependence on Bulgaria is not without its costs. Over the past ten years, Montenegro has also cultivated a number of pro-insurers in the country. They are both vested interests in the trade between the two countries and they do not want this war to erupt. !!
If Nicholas I can win on the front line, then this contradiction can still be suppressed, but the futility of the front line has inspired domestic dissatisfaction.
Now the domestic situation in the Kingdom of Montenegro is already a gunpowder barrel. As long as a little Mars will explode, and this Mars will soon come!
No way. Who told Nikola I to attack Albania this time?
As the base of military aristocracy, here is everyone martial arts, the goal of many people's lives is to obtain military merit and become a true noble!
It is also a place known as the militia combat effectiveness, which can be comparable to the regular army! Due to the many military aristocrats, strong military ethos and strong desire for war, this is one of the fastest places in Bulgaria to complete the mobilization!
Now that Ferdinand had the information, how could he not be prepared at all? At least the weapons and ammunition had been transported secretly to the front line, so Nicholas I bumped in and faced a war machine that had already been mobilized!
In the first week of the outbreak of the war, the Bulgarian garrison could only defend, and in the second week, the two sides began to have pk, and now the army of the Kingdom of Montenegro led by Nicholas I has fallen behind.
The Prime Minister rushed to the front again and persuaded Nicholas I: "Her Majesty, withdraw! While the Bulgarians are continuing with Romania and the Ottoman Empire, we are now retreating and it is still too late to negotiate with Bulgaria, otherwise we will wait until any of them changes ,We will then……"
Nicholas smiled bitterly and said, "Well! I understand everything you said, but don't you think it's too late now?
We have betrayed Bulgaria this time and have been treated as traitors by the Allies. Now we can only go black with the Allies!
If you betray the anti-protection alliance now, do you think the alliance can tolerate us? If not, will the Allies still accept us? "
It's hard to ride a tiger!
Now the Kingdom of Montenegro is in such an awkward situation. After all, this time it has offended Bulgaria. Even the Russian Empire, which has always supported the Kingdom of Montenegro, is now very dissatisfied with them!
Since the outbreak of the Second Balkan War, the St. Petersburg government expelled the Minister of the Kingdom of Montenegro, the two sides severed diplomatic relations, and told the Kingdom of Montenegro with actual actions that you have been abandoned!
This also awakened the dream of Nicholas I. The Russians cannot always support the Kingdom of Montenegro unconditionally, at least for now they have chosen Bulgaria!
Without it, it is determined by national interests! The Kingdom of Montenegro could not bring benefits to the Russian Empire, but Bulgaria is now Russia's most important ally in the Balkans!
Both in economics, military and even politics, both sides have great common interests!
The Prime Minister continued to persuade: "Your Majesty, but we have already suffered a lot of casualties in this war. If we continue, after the loss of the main force is exhausted, I am afraid we will also follow Serbia's future!"
Hearing Serbia, Nicholas I trembled, and the Montenegro kingdom became what it is now, and it has nothing to do with Serbia. If it were not for supporting the Serbian Revolutionary Party, these years would not have been targeted by the Austro-Hungarian Empire!
After that, he calmed down again. Now the Germans will definitely not allow the Austro-Hungarian Empire to annex Montenegro, otherwise who would dare to be their little brother?
However, Bulgaria may not be afraid to do so. Because it is mingled with the allies, the Kingdom of Montenegro has become a traitor to the Allies. As a traitor, Britain, France, and Russia cannot possibly give them a shot!
Is it not possible for the Confederates to sell the Kingdom of Montenegro? There are theoretically, the reason is very simple. The Kingdom of Montenegro is not yet a member of the Confederacy, but it has just come down. Neither Germany nor the Austro-Hungarian Empire regards them as their own!
In this regard, the Kingdom of Montenegro is almost the same as Greece, and it is not a relationship between the allies!
If you look at the status of the Kingdom of Montenegro, the Kingdom of Greece, Romania, and the Ottoman Empire in the hearts of Germans:
Romania is the earliest younger brother of the Germans and has the closest relationship;
The Ottoman Empire is the most powerful and most attractive in the four countries;
Greece is the weakest of the four countries, but its strategic location in the Mediterranean is important;
The Kingdom of Montenegro is the most embarrassing existence of the four countries!
Nicholas I did not have much time to worry about, because the Bulgarian army has begun to counterattack, and now 110,000 troops have been gathered in the Albanian military area. The strength of the two sides has been reversed.
...
On the other side, Carol I was not easy. After the Bulgarian main forces arrived on the battlefield, the Romanian army was defeated.
Since Bucharest, the capital of Romania, was behind him, Carroll I raised the banner of defending the country and promised soldiers a lot of conditions while relying on the succession of life to pile up, finally stabilized the situation!
But something happened to his rear, and the peasant uprising in the Brasov region broke out again!
Since Carroll I came to power, endless peasant uprisings have been a difficult problem for the Romanian government.
On the one hand, the Romanian government's severe exploitation of the peasant class, and more importantly, the greed of the domestic nobility and landlord class must be attributed!
In parallel time and space, the rebellious peasant uprisings of Carroll I throughout his life were not less than double digits, of which the influence was twice, almost threatening his rule!
Not to mention this plane, Romania's agricultural exports have been hit hard by Ferdinand's butterfly effect.
The Romanian government, the aristocratic class, the landlord class, and the bourgeoisie all have a hard time, the ruling class has a hard time, and the lives of the people at the bottom can be imagined!
In order to maintain their decent life, naturally they can only further increase the exploitation of the peasant class!
It can be seen from the wheat purchase price:
1896 ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Romania's wheat purchase price was 286 lei per ton (about 11.44 pounds);
By 1909, Romania's wheat purchase price was 216 lei per ton (about 8.64 pounds).
After more than a decade, the domestic food price in Romania has dropped by nearly a quarter, but the international food price has not fallen, but it has risen slightly!
Although there are also factors that have caused Romania's grain export costs to rise due to tariff increases, the most important factor is the bourgeoisie's exploitation of the peasant class!
The problem is that the Romanian government did not take measures to reduce the burden on the peasant class, but instead continued to adopt the high taxes in the past, which further intensified social contradictions!
