Vol 4 Chapter 139: Bought crown

Bulgaria's unification of the Balkan Peninsula soon caused a sensation in the world. This time Ferdinand did not hide it, and directly and brightly announced that the entire Balkan Peninsula was included in Bulgarian territory.
And Ferdinand also characterized this war as the national reunification battle in Bulgaria. Believe it or not, the Bulgarians are very happy to accept this statement!
Of course, the concept of the Balkan Peninsula is still a general reference. There is no uniform standard for the specific demarcation line in this era. Ferdinand, who was thick-skinned, chose to forget, and did not announce the specific boundary line.
Anyway, now everyone is paying attention to the World War and has no energy to study the specific boundary of Bulgaria! As for the future, it is a few small countries that are discussing the border demarcation with Bulgaria. I believe that they will have a good time at that time!
I have to say that Ferdinand chose a good time this time. As soon as Bulgaria announced its unification of the Balkans, it was recognized by the French.
Of course, the main purpose of the French is to urge Bulgaria to quickly defeat the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and then everyone will hunt Berlin together. Bulgaria's acquisition of the Balkan Peninsula was agreed by everyone before. Now admitting it is just an attitude!
Immediately afterwards, other members of the Allied Countries also recognized Bulgaria's sovereignty over the Balkans. Even John Cow did not jump out to do things this time. It can be seen that in order to end the world war as soon as possible, everyone does not want to branch out!
Germany and Austria are publicly condemning Bulgaria's war of aggression, but unfortunately they have lost their right to speak. Even the royal families of the annihilated Romania and the Kingdom of Montenegro have expressed their support for the Balkan unification.
That ’s it. It ’s all destroyed their country. Do you want others to congratulate you? Being able to stand up in support of Bulgaria's unification of the Balkan Peninsula is also forced by reality!
Seeing that the allies are about to fail, they have no hope of resuming their country, and naturally they can only compromise with Bulgaria. As a deal they agreed to transfer the throne to Ferdinand, but Bulgaria must be responsible for returning a crown to each of their two families.
Of course, there is no way to guarantee this time. Who knows when someone will be short of the king? Let them go to Africa to become chiefs, and they are not willing?
To put it simply, when the King of Europe 6 becomes vacant in the future and when they are eligible to compete, Bulgaria must do its utmost to support their ascension!
And before they get a new crown, their royal annuity must also be borne by the Bulgarian government, and the amount must not be less than before their exile!
Well, this strange thing can only be born in Europe. Ferdinand is speechless. In order to obtain legal sovereignty, he still obediently chose to pay for it!
Then under the witness of the European royal family representatives, the two parties signed a treaty and completed the transaction. Since then Ferdinand has added two crowns of Montenegro and Romania.
Ferdinand reacted to it later. It turned out that the 6 crowns in Europe could be bought and sold. I knew that he could even get the Greek crown together. Unfortunately, there is no chance now.
It was just that before the throne transaction was conducted, the Holy See's approval was necessary. Now the Holy See has fallen, and everyone no longer needs them.
Seeing that the Allies were about to die, the Germans were naturally unwilling to fail, and took out their unique trick "Infinite Submarine War" in an attempt to cut off the supplies of the Allies and reverse the end of the war!
In fact, as early as the end of 1916, the Germans started the infinite submarine war. It was only because of the defeat of the Italians that their submarine forces deployed in the Mediterranean were almost wiped out, and they were delayed.
Now that the submarine force has recovered, it is natural to come out and do something. The Mediterranean can't go, they have no foothold there, they can only catch John Niu!
So from 1917, the good life of the British was over. On average, every four ships out of the British Isles went to the sea forever!
In just three months, 2.16 million tons of ships in the Allied countries sank into the sea. Among them, the German submarine unit in March alone achieved a good result of sinking 860,000 tons. John Bull was frightened by this data. .
Is it okay to go on like this? Everyone else will have to go hungry!
Well, the Germans are now bullying the Niu Niu family. Even the French next door are not afraid of the German submarines. They can transport in the Mediterranean, but the German submarines have limited voyages and cannot go deep into the Mediterranean.
This caused John Niu's heart to be very unbalanced. The Germans wanted to put them to death, so the British decided to take revenge and let Hans know that they were not bullying!
Now the form of the Allies is clearly good. As long as everyone works hard, the Germans will be finished. Therefore, the London government has made a decision to induce Russia, France, and Bulgaria to do their best to directly go over the Germans to resolve their hatred!
...
On April 5, British Foreign Secretary Gray visited the French President, and the two countries reached an agreement on the last war against Germany.
On April 6, the Great Britain in St. Petersburg visited Nicholas II, and the two sides reached friendly consultations on the operation against Germany.
On the same day, the British ambassador to Sofia, Christopher, also sought Ferdinand. It was clear to the British that Ferdinand was coming, but they could not bear it anymore.
Thanks to the rise of Bulgaria, the days of the Allies are much better than in history. Of course, John Bull is an exception. The Germans' infinite submarine battle still caused them heavy losses!
In this regard, the Russians know that they have collapsed in history, but now Nicholas II can still take out three million troops and counterattack against Germany, and they know that their days are good.
Even the pressure from the French is much easier. After all, Bulgaria is not as pitted as Italy. It can not only defeat the enemy in 6 places, but it has not done a good job of enclosing the Austro-Hungarian submarine!
Now the islands in the Adriatic Sea are basically occupied by Bulgaria. The navy of the Austro-Hungarian Empire dare not take the lead. As long as the submarine base is destroyed immediately, there is no place for them!
Now it depends on what kind of conditions John Niu Ken gave. As long as the interests are sufficient, Ferdinand can immediately attack the Germans. Of course, this refers to the Eastern Germans!
As the length of his time as a king became longer, Ferdinand's temper also began to grow, as long as the cumbersome diplomatic etiquette was not on formal occasions, he would ignore it.
When he saw the British ambassador to the country, Ferdinand didn't greet him. He waved and said casually: "Mr. Crestiday sits casually, I don't know what you call today?"
Crestieff was familiar with Ferdinand's habits, and did not find it strange.
"Your Majesty, for the sake of world peace, we hope that your country will launch an all-out attack on its allies as soon as possible and end this war as soon as possible!"
Ferdy South took a tea cup and took a sip, then slowly said, "According to the original agreement of the Allies, we have already completed the task. Now if Bulgaria needs to continue to increase its investment, what conditions are you willing to give? ? "
This is not Ferdinand's bragging. According to the original agreement, Bulgaria was only required to deal with the Ottoman Empire, Romania, and the Kingdom of Montenegro, and contain the 1.5 million troops holding the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
But now the Romanian and Montenegro kingdoms no longer exist, the Ottoman Empire is about to end, and even Ferdinand only needs to give an order, and they can be resolved within a week!
And the army responsible for pinning the Austro-Hungarian Empire, not to mention, the Austro-Hungarian army destroyed by Bulgaria is more than 1.5 million. If Bulgaria is to continue to fight against Germany, it means that after the Germans surrender in the future, they will The legacy of Bulgaria is also eligible for division!
In fact, everyone's controversy on this issue is not great. Britain and France have been hit hard in this war. The Germans' legacy is too much for them.
Well, mainly because the British ca n’t eat anymore, how can they not annex the German mainland? Of course, Bulgaria is just as impossible!
The colonies left by the Germans, except for a few places, are not worthy of Britain and France. If it can not be used to deal with garbage, Ferdinand will not look at it!
In simple terms, the cost of governance is too high. The German colonies have always been at a loss, and this loss has not been able to make up for it in other ways.
In fact, the Bulgarian colonies are also losing money, but they have not lost much. As long as the colony ’s resources are opened up after the war, they can immediately turn a profit.
Anyway, there is no administrative cost for ruling the desert. Only 8,000 troops can rule over a million square kilometers of territory. This overhead is actually very low.
With regard to Ferdinand's request, Crestieff was not surprised at all. Europeans were used to going straight.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that this time we came with sincerity, the British Empire is willing to provide your country with 100 million pounds of interest-free loans, and your country can get a share and record after the war based on its actual performance on the battlefield Matching loot! "
Ferdinand pondered for a moment and said: "In principle, there is no problem, but I hope your country can increase the amount of interest-free loans. Presumably you also know that the cost of war is too high now, and Bulgaria's fiscal revenue cannot Support us for a long time! "
Crestieff replied quickly: "No problem, I will send your Majesty's request to China. I believe that with the friendly relations between the two countries, the loan amount is not a problem!"
Ferdinand smiled slightly and didn't answer. I really thought: I want an interest-free loan. Is there any interest loan in Bulgaria?
Seeing that the Allies are about to win the war, now capitalists around the world will not worry about Bulgaria's ability to repay, because not only does Bulgaria have sufficient collateral, it also has the least government debt among the major warring powers, and is of good quality. client!
Of course, the Bulgarian economy has not collapsed since the World War, and the contribution of the Russians is also in addition to the foreign debt of Ferdinand.
The huge orders of the Russians have always been an important factor supporting the Bulgarian economy, and the influx of Russian refugees has also made up for the shortage of Bulgarian labor. Bulgaria's industry not only did not shrink during the war, but continued to grow.
Simply put, it is the profit between the trade with Russia that supports Bulgaria's finances, so now Ferdinand is living so easily.
Of course, as a cost, the debts of the Russians are now a little higher than in history, not a lot, and they have only increased by hundreds of millions of pounds, plus a little more outflow of gold.
This is much better than in history, if you ca n’t buy anything with money, you do n’t know how much better! Just think about the days when the Russians used the Siberian railway as a lifeline, Ferdinand was at ease, but he helped them solve the big problem!
When Ferdinand laughed and said nothing, Cresdif asked with a deep breath: "Your Majesty, when can you send troops?"
Ferdinand responded slightly, and immediately responded, saying very calmly: "This is simple, we will focus on 1.5 million troops within a week to attack the allies!"
Alright ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Bulgaria has already made plans to counterattack, that is, John Bull is being driven crazy by the German submarine war, otherwise they would have seen that both Bulgaria and Russia are now planning to jump out Snatch the trophy.
Of course, they are more likely to see it and still pretend to be confused. After all, the Germans are too bullying. If you don't lay them down early, the British ships will not lose it!
You can't just let the World War drag on for some loot? It doesn't matter if you arrive usually, but now the London government really can't withstand the pressure. The grain of the British Isles has begun to rush. If it is delayed for several months, who knows if everyone will be hungry?
Oh, mainly because the British have not yet escorted the freighters, the German submarines are naturally extremely arrogant!
