Vol 4 Chapter 76: Talk about conditions

The cold wind whistled past, dead branches and fallen leaves disappeared with the wind, snowflakes floated in the sky, and it was winter again.
Ferdinand was waiting for a few little guys to play in the snow. Even the queen Shenia, who had always been in the house, put down her dignity and joined the game, and the family enjoyed it.
The year 1915 that has just passed is a year of war and flames. The Euro 6 chaos has become a pot of congee. In this short period of time, five million people have died in the flames of war.
But this is just the beginning. Ferdinand knows that the World War will become more cruel in the next year. Now everyone has no way back, either to victory or to destruction!
The battle is no longer possible, and now it has become a competition for comprehensive national strength.
In this time and space, Ferdinand also became more and more hard-hearted, and became accustomed to the sword and sword, and to become a qualified politician. Even if the frontline blood flowed into the river, he could still be at ease in the rear.
Of course, this is based on the premise of Bulgaria's continuous victory. In just one year, Ferdinand has swept the Kingdom of Romania and Montenegro into the dust of history.
No, the government in exile still exists, and even a few small units are continuing to resist. One day the Allied Allies suddenly exploded and won the victory in this war, they still had a chance to regain their country.
...
Minister of Foreign Affairs Metzef said solemnly: "Sir, the French ambassador just asked us for support again. According to the information from the front, they have been teetering at the Verdun line of defense. The Germans broke through two days ago Their first line of defense! "
Ferdinand's face changed slightly. He did not expect that the French would lose the first line of defense so quickly with the help of the British. Verdun is known as a meat grinder in history, with nearly a million casualties on both sides.
He didn't want to put precious troops into this pit, but now Bulgaria must make the French strong.
Ferdinand was quietly thinking about why the Verdun defense line, which was unbreakable in history, would now crumble.
Yes, it's Italian! Although the combat effectiveness of the Italian 6th Army was not good, the addition of millions of Italian troops still contained a large number of French troops, resulting in a shortage of French troops.
You must know that in order to help the French defend the line of defense, John Bull has also made great efforts this time. The number of expeditionary forces has increased to 700,000. This can help the French to block the German attack.
"Tell the French, in order to alleviate their military pressure, we attacked the Italian mainland and restrained their forces!" Ferdinand finally decided to find the persimmon soft.
The current battlefield on the western front is not a good place. Both sides fired real fire. Aircraft tanks and cannons bloomed everywhere, and bombs should not be littered with money.
Ferdinand had even made the worst plan. Once Verdun's line of defense fell, he immediately set off for Rome and fought for 6 years, forcing the Italians to withdraw from the war.
At the same time, they joined the Russians to kill the Austro-Hungarian Empire as soon as possible, and compared with the Germans to see if they occupied Paris first, or Italy and Austro-Hungarians couldn't hold on!
Anyway, once there are no two allies, even the Germans fighting alone will not occupy their fate even if they occupy France.
...
Time passed quickly, and according to Ferdinand's order, Bulgaria again ascended to Italy6, this time the target of the attack was Sicily.
Geographically, Sicily is located in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea and has a high strategic value. At present, most of the ally's submarine forces are based in Sicily, and the Tunis Strait is fast becoming a dead line.
In this respect, the impact of the occupation of Sicily on the Allies has been significant. More importantly, as long as Ferdinand has hundreds of aircraft in Sicily, the Mediterranean can be divided into two at any time!
Obviously, Ferdinand underestimated the importance of the Verdun line in the eyes of Britain and France.
Due to the sudden explosion of the Germans, the forces attacking Verdun increased to 62 divisions, and the Italians restrained the French forces. Now the Allied defense forces of the Verdun defense line are greatly insufficient.
As for the formation of colonial cannon fodder units in Britain and France, the combat effectiveness cannot be reassured.
There was even a record that a German army defeated an Indian army. Since then, the French have never dared to hand over important lines of defense to colonial forces.
So they paid attention to Bulgaria. With the completion of the Kingdoms of Romania and Montenegro, the battle in the Balkans has gradually stabilized.
The war between Bulgaria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire has now become staring. Both sides are relying on the mountains to build a line of defense. It is obvious that the intensity of the war is not high whoever attacks and loses.
This is also intentional by Ferdinand, otherwise the Austro-Hungarian Empire will almost be playing now. At the same time against the two powers, Austria-Hungary is not Germany, not so sturdy!
In this context, Ferdinand naturally wants to launch the Asia Minor strategy. Ferdinand has always been very active in grabbing the ground. Of course, the Bulgarian military is more active!
...
The maid's crisp voice sounded: "His Majesty, the Marquis of the British Ambassador Winston and the French Ambassador Mr. Creto are here to visit."
"I see, take them to the reception room and wait, I will be there in a while." Ferdinand said calmly.
The purpose of the British and French ambassador's visit is self-evident. Can't they persuade the Foreign Ministry, and they want to persuade him? Forget it, you do n’t know when you meet, what do you want so much!
...
Ferdinand always did not like to turn corners, and asked directly: "What are the two people calling today?"
The British ambassador, Marquis Winston replied, "Your Majesty, now Verdun's line of defense is urgent, and for the common interests of the Allies, we hope that your country will send 500,000 troops to France."
Ferdinand smiled and said, "In accordance with our previous agreement, Bulgaria has completed its task.
We have restrained the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Italians at the same time, and also solved the Kingdoms of Romania and Montenegro. We are now preparing to land on the 6 Ottoman Empire!
We have done enough in the stance of our allies. If we let us take more responsibilities, should we also allocate corresponding benefits? "
The Marquis of Winston said bluntly, "Your Majesty, please rest assured that we have come with sincerity! If your country is willing to send troops to France, we will support your country's actions in the Near East, including the annexation of the Balkans and the annexation of the Asia Minor Peninsula!"
Fidey shook his head without changing the color. The British and French thought so well. After writing a blank check, he wanted to flee Bulgaria?
The Balkans want Bulgaria to send troops to unify itself, and the Asia Minor Peninsula also needs Bulgaria to send troops to take it. Their recognition is not worth it!
After the World War, Britain and France did not have the prestige of the prewar period. As long as Bulgaria took these places into hand, would it still be impossible to spit it out because Britain and France did not recognize it?
"Your Majesty, if Bulgaria can send reinforcements to France, we can reduce some of the loans." French ambassador Creto added
Ferdinand still shook his head. After the war, the franc will be greatly devalued. Even one tenth of the value of the currency cannot be maintained. Does he care about the shrinking loan?
Ferdinand solemnly said, "Sorry, I haven't had that much time to bargain with you. If you need to test slowly, you can go to the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
If you want to continue talking, just show the card directly, I don't like to turn corners!
I think Verdun is on the frontline now, and the situation is very urgent. Do n’t you fear that the frontline will change because of your low efficiency?
Or do you think that those colonial forces can block the Germans' offense and don't need reinforcements at all! "
Obviously his words were very impolite, but he was where the status of the king was, and even if he had taught them a few words, it was not a big deal.
Anyway, here is the big 6 in Europe, people are used to the king's high look, and Ferdinand's performance is now very normal.
Of course, if it is leaving Europe elsewhere, it is another situation. The British and French ambassadors have not looked at the kings of Asia and Africa.
Although the atmosphere was slightly embarrassing, they soon recovered. Whose king did not have any temper?
"Your Majesty, if Bulgaria can send troops to France right away, your country can take an extra share on the basis of the present distribution of post-war benefits!" Creto said sharply
When he said this, his mood was obviously not so good, there must be more people taking less, and others less. Obviously, this part of the interest is mostly deducted from their share. Who claims that the French army is underpowered now?
Ferdinand said happily, "Okay, so that's it!
Rest assured, my appetite is not big and will not harm your country's interests!
With Rome as the boundary, how about half of the Apennine Peninsula plus Sicily and Sardinia? Your country can divide up the other half of the Apennine Peninsula, and we can take whatever we want! "
"No!" Marquis Winster objected.
Obviously, Ferdinand's proposal is still very tempting for France. The essence of Italy's industry is in the north. According to the division method proposed by Ferdinand, the French are undoubtedly taking advantage.
But for the British, it is totally intolerable. If the French had annexed the essence of Italy's industry, who would decide the Big 6?
Of course, everyone is still an ally. Under the premise that the German enemy still exists, we will not distribute it for the benefit of the post-war, but the nail Ferdinand has been planted.
You may realize that you've made a mistake, Marquis Winster explained: "Now the war is still going on. It's too early to talk about the distribution of Italy so early. It's better to discuss it after the war."
Ferdinand nodded and said, "Yes, it's really too early to talk about the handling of Italy, so let's deal with it later!
However, how will we deal with the Ottoman Empire after the war and the Russians, and how to allocate it, how will you intervene? "
The Marquis Winston thought for a while and said, "Yes, but the interests of the British Empire must be guaranteed!"
Ferdinand nodded and said calmly: "Of course, the current sphere of influence of Britain and France will be at your disposal!"
Creto nodded, and they had no interest in the Ottoman Empire anyway.
The Ottoman Empire has been divided up for a long time. The most valuable areas now are undoubtedly the Asia Minor Peninsula and parts of the Caucasus. These are already Bulgaria and Russia.
The rest of the region is sand! In this era in the Arab region, oil has not yet been spotted, and is simply not valuable.
Ferdinand's sphere of influence has also expanded to Yemen, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. Other regions have long been drawn to their own bowls by the British.
Like Kuwait, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar, all are British spheres of influence, and everyone's conflict of interest is not great.
As for the distribution of interests between Bulgarians and Russians, do they not care? For the British, as long as there is a distribution of interests, there will be contradictions. Is it possible that the future Bulgarian-Russian alliance will be so harmonious?
With Bulgaria as a buffer, the British Empire does not need to directly conflict with Russia in the Near East. The new international order will still be under the control of the British Empire!
Ferdinand added another requirement: "By the way, if Bulgaria sends troops to France, it will inevitably result in insufficient domestic strength. I hope that the British Empire will provide us with 5o Indian divisions for use on the battlefield of the Asia Minor.
Although their fighting power is not good ~ EbookFREE.me ~, it is still feasible to use it to fight miscellaneous things and maintain order! "
Seeing Marquis Winster hesitating, Ferdinand smiled and said, "The Indian colony in your country has a population of over 300 million. We only need hundreds of thousands of people. Is this not a problem?
Rest assured, I do n’t need your country to provide military officers. I just need your country to provide a batch of translators. We will handle the rest of the problems! "
"No problem!" The Marquis Winster readily agreed when he heard that no officer was needed.
Anyway, the most important thing in India is people. As for what Ferdinand would use these Indians for, he wouldn't bother to care, anyway, Ah San is valuable again!
