Vol 4 Chapter 43: Kingship

The size and grade of the farewell ceremony of Edward VII set another world record. Nine kings rode along with the hearse and hundreds of thousands of British people saw him off.
After the farewell ceremony, the party between the royal family is also indispensable. Everyone lives on the other side of the sea in Tiannanhai on weekdays. This is a rare opportunity to get together, and naturally there is much to talk about.
Ferdinand even proposed to sign a treaty to guarantee the rights and interests of the royal families, that is, the countries guarantee each other the monarchy forever!
This proposal has been accepted by everyone, but when it comes to specific actions, there are differences.
At present, the monarchy is still in full swing. Everyone does not know the misery of the kings' houses after the World War. Therefore, one by one, they are not so active in taking responsibility.
After all, they are not Ferdinand. They can do everything they say. In case something is born, the domestic political forces are definitely not willing to help others for nothing?
When it's time to do something, the king can't command the army, it's embarrassing!
Of course, if they knew that most of the people who were sitting after World War I would be driven out of the throne and exiled overseas, it would be different!
Seeing the reaction of the crowd, Ferdinand set his sights on William II and George V. Obviously the most important thing in this treaty is not the attitude of several small countries. The key is the attitude of the British, German, Russian, Austrian and Italians to protect six European powers!
However, among these six countries, only the kings present were Ferdinand, William II, and George V. As long as they are willing to withstand domestic pressure, this agreement can basically be reached!
In fact, Ferdinand all regretted this proposal too late. If it was proposed during Queen Victoria or Edward VII, the possibility of success would be even greater!
But Ferdinand had no weight at the time, and there was no such opportunity to gather the kings' rooms together!
In fact, in consolidating the stance of the kingship, all of you have been sitting on it. Ferdinand's proposal has indeed guaranteed everyone's interests!
But now it is the beginning of the twentieth century. The people sitting here have no supreme right. It is easy to sign this treaty. If they are to be approved at home, they will have to pay a high price!
Seeing that they were slow to speak, Ferdinand knew that George V had shaken, but he did not expect that William II would not come out to support it!
It seems that William II did not abandon the expansion of the territory. After signing this treaty, the thrones of the royal families must be guaranteed, which is not conducive to the expansion of Germany in Europe.
It is impossible for Ferdinand to tell him that this treaty has nothing to do with territorial expansion. It is only necessary to give people a place to build a state. The whole country has moved and it will also facilitate the governance of future territories!
If countries learn this trick in advance, Ferdinand is very doubtful how many countries will be left at the end of the European Big 6?
...
Well, Ferdinand is not without support, at least the Greek King George I very much endorsed the treaty and wanted to sign a separate contract with Ferdinand.
But Ferdinand is not stupid. How can it be such a unilateral guarantee for Greece?
He proposed that the main purpose of this treaty is to allow the royal families of Germany, Austria and Russia after the First World War to keep the throne, not to create opportunities for the rise of Germany and the Soviet Union, and to prevent the outbreak of World War II!
Unfortunately, in the end, Ferdinand's efforts were not in vain, at least his prestige in the European royal family has greatly increased!
Although everyone did not sign a treaty for various reasons, it did not prevent them from admiring Ferdinand's attitude of safeguarding the kingship!
Due to various reasons, only a shrinking version of the Treaty on King Power Was Signed, which was far from Ferdinand's "King Power Does Not Fall".
The treaty merely reaffirmed the protection of the royal family's security, banned all monarch acts, and a series of status issues.
Except for the Junjun item, the other content does not have any coercive force in essence, but is equivalent to a convention that everyone abides by!
It seems that everyone still cares about Xiaoming, and Ferdinand can only sigh.
...
Ferdinand was not frustrated if he did not achieve his goal. The chance of success in this matter was not high at all. Even if a treaty is signed, enforcement is a big problem. The interests of different countries are inconsistent. There is no way to solve it!
...
Ferdinand's trip to London did not achieve much, but he did not return directly to Bulgaria, but visited Portugal at the invitation of Manuel II.
Obviously Manuel II could not suppress the domestic political forces, and tried to use the influence of the powers to suppress the Republican Party.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that this would only expose his weak and incompetent nature, and could not change the current political pattern of the Portuguese kingdom!
After all, Britain and Bulgaria had expressed support for him before, and even when his father and elder brother died, the two countries were prepared to interfere by force.
At that time, if Manuel II was a little harder, the Republican Party could be wiped out with the guilty conscience, and now there are not so many bad things!
In the face of the guilty concubine, even those who support or sympathize with the Republican Party cannot defend them, after all, the killer is a Republican member!
In this context, even the Republican army did not dare to act arrogantly. Manuel II could mobilize the army supporting the royal family to carry out a major cleansing of the country!
Unexpectedly, Manuel II actually put it down gently. The Republican Party just threw out two little feet and quelled a case of princes who shocked the world!
Now the best time has passed. Even with the support of the great powers, Manuel II did not have full military power and could not act lightly, otherwise it would likely lead to civil war.
Well, Ferdinand admits that he is not a good man himself. In the beginning, he really supported Manuel II's succession!
But is it now? Seeing a series of incompetent manifestations of Manuel II, his purpose has deteriorated!
Even if the Kingdom of Portugal is declining, the family base left behind is exciting. At least in the case of overseas colonies, Bulgaria is now not as good as Portugal!
Want to snatch? Stop dreaming! More than a decade ago, during the British-Bulgarian war, the British had an agreement between the two countries in order to obtain the support of Portugal. The British Empire provided guarantees for the security of the Portuguese colonies in exchange for the Portuguese's Support from the British Army.
However, the scope of this guarantee is also very limited. If the Portuguese sells or transfers on their own initiative, then it has nothing to do with the British!
Therefore, the value of Manuel II came out. In any case, he is also recognized as the king of Portugal. Ferdinand only needs to sign an agreement with him, and it is possible to legally obtain the colony of the Kingdom of Portugal.
Of course, Ferdinand's purpose has not been revealed. After all, the king of the family is still doing a good job, how can it betray the interests of the Kingdom of Portugal for nothing?
But this does not prevent them from signing a secret contract. As for the content of the secret contract, it can still be determined according to the situation and is subject to change at any time. Anyway, only the two of them know the specific content, as long as they have the same caliber, that's true!
Well, at the same time that Ferdinand signed the secret contract, he had copied dozens of secret contracts, all made on the same day. No matter how the experts and scholars of later generations test, it is impossible to distinguish between true and false!
As for whether the Portuguese government accepts this, is it important? Bulgaria is also a great power. Although it is one of the weakest powers, it is a great power. Many times just need an excuse to do a lot of things!
Therefore, Ferdinand was very pleased to stage a stage for Manuel II ~ EbookFREE.me ~ the two sides also had an in-depth exchange. Manuel II also consulted Ferdinand on the way of governing the country, and the two sides had a happy discussion.
After Ferdinand left Portugal, there was news that he and Manuel II had signed a contract. As for the content of the contract, of course, it must be kept secret, otherwise how could it be called a contract?
This is exactly what Manuel II wanted. If no one knew the contents of this secret covenant, then everyone could only be suspicious.
In this context, even if the Republican Party wants to take any action, it must think twice. They all know the Treaty of Kingship That Has Just Been Signed, and Ferdinand's position is well known to them. Who knows how much will he include in the secret treaty signed with Manuel II?
In case they just overthrew Manuel II, they brought in the Intervening Army and restored it again, wouldn't they be miserable?
