Vol 4 Chapter 158: Tsar in action

In the autumn of October, the annual harvest season has come again. The joy of the harvest has wiped out the pain caused by the World War. The whole Bulgaria is bathed in the joy of the harvest!
"His Majesty, Earl Paul, the Special Envoy of Russia, is visiting!" Said the maid softly in Ferdinand's ears.
Ferdinand put down the documents in his hand, and the Russian still came to the door, not only in his expectation, but also in his surprise!
Theoretically, the Russians should have come to ask for help. Whether it is the Russian Civil War or the Paris Peace Conference, Nicholas II cannot do without Bulgaria's support!
Ferdinand did not expect that the Russians could wait until now. To know that coming one day later may be a great loss to the Russian Empire!
The Russians are still in the largest army in Germany. Without Bulgaria's support, they would not be able to do so if they wanted to return home. The Tsarist government is now unable to provide them with logistical supplies.
"Take him here, I'll see him here!" Ferdinand said lightly
Compared with that year, Earl Paul is old and has lost his former glory and is no longer an ambassador to the country, but his spirit is still very good.
It has been an "old friend" for many years. The two met very casually. It can be seen that he was anxious, and Ferdinand was no longer homely.
"What to drink? Feel free!" Ferdinand said lightly.
"I'm still coffee!" Count Paul answered.
As soon as the words fell, a maid handed him a cup of coffee, apparently already prepared. Not only coffee, but also all kinds of teas and snacks are always available in the palace for 24 hours. In this regard, Ferdinand has no plans to treat himself badly.
"Paul, what else do you need to do?" Ferdinand said casually.
Count Paul said with a bitter smile: "Isn't your Majesty asking it knowingly? I have three things here today: first, we hope to receive His Majesty's support at the Paris Peace Conference; second, our Expeditionary Force will return to China and need His Majesty's support; Finally, in the forthcoming civil war, we hope that Her Majesty can block the Black Sea and sever the chaotic party's overseas supplies channel! "
Ferdinand sank, and said gravely, "These problems are very troublesome, let's talk about them one by one!
First I want to know, what do you want to get in Paris? Can we decide whether to give you support? "
Paul thought so, and now Bulgaria is no longer the younger brother of the Russian Empire, and everything must be said in terms of interests, but he is not unprepared.
"As a member of the Allies, we also made significant contributions in this war. We eliminated at least 2 million Austrian-Hungarian troops and 1.5 million Germans.
Even for the benefit of the alliance, there was a rebellion in the Russian Empire, so we need to get enough compensation! "
Ferdinand interrupted impatiently: "Paul everyone is an old friend, there is no need to come so much imaginary, just say what you want!"
Earl Paul's heart was silent for a while, and the situation was worse than they expected. From Ferdinand's attitude, it can be seen that Bulgaria's support for the Russian Empire has changed this time.
In the end, I was accustomed to wind and waves. Earl Paul adjusted his mood quickly and did not try again. It directly showed the bottom line: "We hope that the entire Polish region, the German port in the Baltic Sea, and Russia Empire wants 8 billion pounds in war reparations! "
Ferdinand rolled his eyes, thinking that the Russians really dared to speak. If it was the Russian Empire during the heyday, they would not be excessive or even low for these conditions!
But the Russian Empire, which is undergoing the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, is not qualified to do so. Even if Poland is given to them, is the Tsarist government able to rule?
In the case of civil unrest, you also want to expand the territory. This is how much water is in your brain before you can figure it out?
After a moment of silence, Ferdinand slowly said, "Is this your bottom line? With your current strength, do you plan to continue fighting against the Austro-Hungarian Empire?"
This is not the opening of Ferdinand at the mouth of the letter. The Austro-Hungarian Empire has joined the Allies. For the purpose of restricting the Russian Empire, Britain and France simply cannot support their annexation of Austrian Poland.
Without the support of Britain and France, the Russian Empire wanted to obtain Austrian Poland. Now the Vienna government is not afraid of the bears in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and it is a big fight again. The question is, can the Tsarist government now afford it?
Count Paul's face sank. He knew that Ferdinand was rejecting their request. Originally, their plan was to use Bulgarian support to force the Austro-Hungarian Empire to make concessions, but now Ferdinand has shown his attitude. Bulgaria does not Will intervene in the dispute between them and the Austro-Hungarian Empire!
"Well then, can we always get German Poland?"
As a staunch supporter of big chauvinism, letting him make concessions in the territory is undoubtedly a knife in his heart!
After Ferdinand thought for a while, he said with a smile: "This is your problem. Take the lead to declare that Bulgaria can support you at the Paris Peace Conference, but there is no guarantee of success!"
Ferdinand's heart was already smirking. This is not sure if it will succeed, but it must be impossible! Do you think Britain and France are still their allies?
Or is it that Nicholas II thought that he had made concessions to Bulgaria in the partition of the Ottoman Empire, and he could exchange for Bulgaria's full support?
Now in the Caucasus, but the site of Little Nicholas I, even if it has gained a profit, is also an enemy for Nicholas II. What can they do?
What's more, even if you can get it, Little Nicholas I did not have the energy to expand the territory of the Russian Empire. People with this energy might as well use it to grab land in China!
When the Paris Peace Conference opens the day after tomorrow, when the three Russian Empire delegations will appear, they will be lively!
I really want the Lion to speak up. It is estimated that Britain and France do not mind changing a Russian delegation to participate in the peace conference. Anyway, there are two spare tires. Are they both representatives of the Russian Empire?
Without the full support of Bulgaria, Earl Paul said with some disappointment: "All right! Your Majesty's affairs regarding the return of the Expeditionary Force, you see ..."
This time Ferdinand said very refreshingly: "No problem! Bulgaria will also provide them with one month of logistics materials for free to ensure that they can return to China smoothly!"
Count Paul stopped talking, and frankly said that Ferdinand had done enough in this regard. He did not embarrass them in the least, and provided one month's support for free, and he was embarrassed to speak again!
Ferdinand looked at Paul's performance and knew what he was thinking, so he said very proudly: "Given the friendly relationship between our two countries, then I will send you another 500,000 rifles, 3,000 machine guns, and Eight hundred cannons are ready! "
Well, these weapons are the needs of the previous war. The Russians have been equipped with weapons. Anyway, they helped fight the Germans, and he was embarrassed to take them back.
Anyway, the world war is over, weapons and equipment are really worthless at this time, and they can only be scrapped. However, weapons and equipment can be sent for free, but the ammunition must be bought by the Russians themselves, how can this business not lose!
I still do n’t know, Earl Paul in the pit, and he was very happy to say, "Thank Your Majesty for helping us, the Russian people will always remember it!"
"Russian People's Association will always remember it in his heart." After listening to this, Ferdinand almost stunned. If the Russian people knew what he had done, he would really remember it, and it would still be the kind of gnashing his teeth. !!
Thinking about it, but Ferdinand was still very happy, waiting for the words behind Earl Paul.
After a pause, Earl Paul continued: "Your Majesty, the question of blocking the Black Sea?"
Ferdinand's face suddenly collapsed, and he sighed and said, "This matter is very troublesome. We are not in a position to do it in person. It is better that you send someone to do it yourself!
Anyway, our two countries also have a covenant that can share military ports. We will sell you a few warships and lend you two ports to you! "
With this kind of operation, Count Paul was dumbfounded, but after thinking about it, he suddenly found out that there was still a precedent. Wasn't that how they had struck the Ottoman Empire before? It ’s no problem to come over now?
The task was so simple. Earl Paul was unbelievable. He was going to take a harem route, but now it seems that it is not necessary.
Earl Paul said with excitement: "No problem, thank you so much!"
Ferdinand smiled, and did not forget to kindly reminded: "People you send are better to be cheaper and more competent. With regard to the current level of integrity of your officials, I am very doubtful that your blockade will exist in name only! "
This was embarrassing to Count Paul. The Russian Empire really did not have a few incorruptible officials, and even he himself was not a good product, but this time it mattered a lot ~ EbookFREE.me ~ has something to do with the life and death of the Tsarist government. disregard.
"Her Majesty, please be assured that we will not be in trouble this time!" Earl Paul said with a guarantee.
Ferdinand smiled, thinking that the ghost was worried that you would be in trouble. If it was not for making money, he would not care if the Russian blockade line could be established!
If Nicholas II really blocked the Black Sea, then the Moscow government and Nicholas I, they can only purchase land by land. In this regard, Bulgaria's geographical location, do not occupy a natural advantage? ?
Without cracking down on competitors, when will Bulgaria's scrapped weapons and equipment and surplus strategic materials be disposed of?
