Vol 4 Chapter 55: Rise of great powers

On August 2, 1992, an internal meeting of the Four Allies proposed by Ferdinand was held secretly in Paris.
Participating in the meeting were British Representative Naval Minister Churchill, Foreign Minister Edward, Russian Representative Duke Mikhail Alexandrovich, Bulgarian Minister of Foreign Affairs Metev, and Minister of the Sixth Army.
Obviously this secret refers only to the content of the meeting. This meeting cannot be kept secret. Britain, Russia, and Bulgaria all sent heavyweights to participate. As long as the Germans are not stupid, they know that it is aimed at them.
Therefore, on July 7, 1992, the Confederate countries also held an Confederate conference in Berlin. Obviously both sides are preparing for the war, and the smell of gunpowder in Europe is even stronger.
What kind of agreement reached by the allies is not clear to Ferdinand, but after this meeting of the allies, the four nations alliance was really established!
The British are not separated, and they also need to assume military responsibility for the three countries. There is no way they will not bear military responsibilities, nor will the Russians join. We can never let the two countries face the allies?
In that case, the world empire of the British Empire can also change hands, and Ferdinand will definitely shrink back the first time!
According to the new signing, any country in the alliance was attacked unjustly by the fifth country, and the four countries must immediately negotiate and take joint action to maintain world peace!
Obviously this is for the Allies, or for the Germans! Except for the alliance, no one in the world dares to attack the allies, or even if there are idiots who dare to provoke war, there is no need for the alliance to act together to settle it. I am confident that everyone still has it!
At the same time, countries have also signed that the French will assume the obligation to protect the British in the Mediterranean colonies, and the British will assume the responsibility to protect the French coast.
At the same time, once the war breaks out, the French Navy will be obliged to take joint action with the Bulgarian Navy to block the Otranto Strait for the first time to prevent the alliance of the allied navies.
As for the division of interests among countries after the war, this is not a short-term result. From Ferdinand's perspective, it is estimated that perhaps the world war broke out and everyone may still be confused!
However, for the obligations undertaken by countries, this time there is a preliminary division:
The British are responsible for solving the German navy, and will send 6 troops to support the French; the French will assume the Western Front against Germany and Italy, and will also take care of the Mediterranean route;
Bulgaria and the Russians jointly deal with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Romania, and the Ottoman Empire; at the same time, the Russians must attack the German mainland and contain the German forces; Bulgaria is also responsible for solving the Kingdom of Montenegro, and the Navy must cooperate with the French when necessary. Send troops to Italy.
Of course, this combat mission is the same regardless of whether it is divided or not. Everyone still has to fight this way when the war breaks out. It is determined by the geographical location. If you do n’t hit the enemy, the enemy will still hit you!
The French, in particular, are the worst. They may be attacked by the German and Italian powers from the outset of the war. Even with the help of the British, their losses are absolutely indispensable!
Therefore, Ferdinand proposed the distribution of post-war benefits according to the obligations and contributions made in the war, and received the support of the French.
Well, no matter how it is distributed, Bulgaria's right to speak is the lowest among these four countries, and the current distribution of benefits is only a draft. In the later period, it needs to be allocated according to the actual output of each country.
In principle, the British will receive all the trophies of the German Navy and divide the largest of the Confederate colonies; the French received support for their lost land, and even ceded some German and Italian territories to everyone's default; the Russians won the Austrian It does n’t make sense to belong to Poland or German Poland. Other territorial appeals need to be looked at concretely; Bulgaria ’s unification of the Balkans is acceptable, but colonial issues depend on contributions!
To put it simply, in terms of core interests, countries still take care of each other, so that conflicts will not arise before the war begins!
...
Ferdinand said dissatisfied: "Similarly, from now on we will speed up the immigration of the Greeks. If necessary, we can take special measures. Our buried hands can also act!
Two years have passed since the end of the Second Balkan War. There are still more than 1.2 million people on the Greek peninsula. If the war breaks out, this will be an irregular bomb! "
After the internal meeting of the Allies, the mutual endorsement of each country was obtained, and Ferdinand's courage also grew.
All the Ottomans on the Greek peninsula have been repatriated, but in addition to the 300,000 to 400,000 people who were forcibly removed from the beginning, the Greeks on the peninsula only moved more than 200,000 people in the next two years. Ferdinand was dissatisfied.
Oh, this is not that the government does not work hard. Originally, under the set of boxing punches of Ferdinand, the people on the Greek peninsula lived miserable lives and could only leave their homes, but the Bulgarian government ’s Peninsula Railway plan saved them.
Due to the large amount of labor required to build railways and highways, they have found jobs again. In addition, Bulgarian railway companies are state-owned enterprises after all and strictly enforce Bulgaria's labor protection laws.
Therefore, the Greeks who have found a job can still survive now. In addition to a lot of people who are currently working on the railway, they are paid a lot better than their previous jobs, so they will not leave.
Ferdinand has just come to this point, but he did not criticize the railway company's approach. Since the system has been formulated, it must be implemented, otherwise the consequences will be endless!
After thinking about it, Constantine said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, if the Greeks are expelled now, it will be difficult for us to find so many workers in the short term. I am afraid that the progress of railway construction will be greatly affected and the expenditure will increase greatly!"
Ferdinand thought for a while and said, "Well, if the labor is not enough, continue to find a way from the Russians! As for the increased expenditure, this is good, and we will levy goods from our seas, 6 imports and exports to the Greek peninsula A 50% tariff should make up for our losses! "
Well, now that the Greek peninsula has been surrounded, the surrounding waters are all Bulgarian territorial waters. If half of the tariff is levied, it is estimated that the price of the Greek peninsula will rise to the sky. At that time, the Greeks will not be able to leave!
"Yes!" Constantine replied
As long as it is in the interest of Bulgaria, everyone can avoid it. As for the Greeks, the Bulgarian government is willing to pay for them to live and work in Syria.
In law, George I is now equivalent to the Greek Grand Duke of Bulgaria. In theory, Ferdinand could still negotiate with George I for a new land.
Regardless of what other people think, Ferdinand has reached an agreement with George I to let him go to the Jordan River to become king. That's right, Ferdinand agreed to the independence of the Greeks, provided that they were on the site divided by Bulgaria!
In return, Ferdinand will also be responsible for helping George I clean up the portal, kill the elements that threaten his kingship, protect the interests of his king, and provide him with a loan!
The current ecological conditions in Jordan are not as bad as those in later generations, and the damage to vegetation is far less severe than in later generations. The Greeks once occupied Jordan in history, and they are relatively familiar with the situation there. ..
Even later generations of Jordan had 90,000 hectares of arable land. There will only be more in this era, and more than one million Greeks will be more than enough.
Anyway, as long as Ferdinand can ensure that they can survive, hungry will not die, and it is not his problem to get rich and run off.
For cover, Ferdinand did not directly emigrate the Greeks to Jordan, but now the Syrian transition. After the World War broke out, after the Ottomans killed in Syria, the King of George I was set to raise the banner in Jordan to solicit refugees to gather hearts.
If there were no Ottomans to pull hatred, Ferdinand estimated that the Greeks would probably have regarded Bulgaria as their enemy of life and death!
But after the Ottoman massacre, all this is different in the face of survival, and they have to rely on Bulgarian military protection.
Even if the war is over and the Greeks are foreigners, the people in the Middle East will not welcome them. Even in later generations, they will have to rely on Bulgaria for national defense!
Well, Ferdinand acknowledges that Jordan is a bad land. Except for agriculture, there are basically no other resources, but it does n’t matter that neighbors have it. As long as the Greeks work hard, they can learn Jews!
...
With the order of Ferdinand, the Greek people suddenly have a hard time, and their income has not changed, but they cannot hold up the prices.
Needless to say, domestic large and small factories are directly bankrupted. This time, it is impossible for gods to save. Just look at the tariffs and know what to export!
Oh, now Greek capitalists who are a little bit sane have run away, and even international capitalists have withdrawn their capital and tolls all over the place. This business is really not done by anyone.
The Greek people suddenly have something wrong, and this day is really impossible. You can buy two kilos of white bread or five kilos of black bread in Bulgarian Lev, but one kilo of black bread can be bought in Greece five Lev.
Fortunately, working hard all day, even the most basic life can not be guaranteed. Many people have chosen to run. For them, as long as they can survive, Syria is Syria. They have no right to choose anyway.
There are also some people who are unwilling to be oppressed, and with the support of their allies, are ready to start an uprising, overthrow the decaying Greek government, and expel Bulgarians to rebuild Great Greece.
Well, just think about it, smart people know that the Greek people have no spirit of resistance now, without him have not been forced to the end of the road, with the courage of ordinary Greeks in the back road has not been desperate!
Originally, these so-called revolutionaries attempted to use the bourgeoisie to uprising. Unfortunately, the capitalists saw the opportunity quickly and ran ahead in advance. The rest were not very intelligent. They were suppressed by the Greek reactionary government before they moved.
The life of the Greek people is not good, but it does not mean that the lives of Greek officials are not good! Now they can unscrupulously exploit the people, and no one asks them. Is everyone's childhood still nourishing?
As for Greece's situation, don't they know? Do not! They know better than anyone else, so they smart people have to take advantage of it, or else Greece is over, what will they live on in the future?
At the same time, Ferdinand published the book, and used heavy pen and ink to introduce the rise of several major powers in the world today.
Of course, this is completely different from the "rising of a great power" in later generations. This only introduces the eight major powers of Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, the United States, and Japan. Spain and Portugal, which have fallen, are naturally ignored.
The main thing here is of course Ferdinand's private goods. He attributed the rise of countries to three points: smart leadership; 2. good geographical location; 3. rich resources!
It was proposed that a country must meet these three conditions if it wants to rise, especially the first two, and also take Belgium and Sweden as examples. They are all because of their geographical location, they cannot become a world power!
And came to a conclusion: a country too far from heaven and too close to the powers, is destined that this country cannot rise!
It is also very constructive to propose ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Now there are no major powers in Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. They have the conditions to establish a strong country, and encourage ethnic immigrants who want to establish a world power!
Oh, I also pointed out that Japan in East Asia is still a soft-legged shrimp. As long as the Manchurian government defeats them, they can still return to the ranks of the powers! Otherwise, just ...
It is embarrassing that when this book was published, the Manchu government had ceased to exist, and then I did not know if the revolutionaries had noticed this little tip!
By the way, Ferdinand also analyzed the current mainstream contradictions in the world, and clearly pointed out that the confrontation between the two alliances is to compete for resources and markets.
Well, Ferdinand is written for the Balkan peoples. Bulgaria wants to unify the Balkan Peninsula. They can't do it right! In the light of how much you can fudge, how much, anyway, can also ease the trouble in the future!
