Bulgarian Empire

Well, all the words have been finished by Ferdinand, everyone just needs to decide whether to do it or not!

In fact, the Bulgarian government has no choice between the two roads before it.

There is no free lunch in the world, how can it be possible to get benefits without paying the price?

The Russians have fought with the Turks for more than two hundred years for the Bosporus Strait, and now they will support Bulgaria in obtaining Constantinople in vain, don't dream!

The strategy formulated by Ferdinand never had Constantinople in mind from the beginning to the end. No way, who is the Bosporus Strait, the lifeblood of the Russians entering the Mediterranean?

If you master Constantinople, you will master the Bosporus Strait, and of course there is the Dardanelles, which is also the main channel for the Russians to enter the Mediterranean Sea.

Now the purpose of the Russians is obvious. While Britain is busy competing with the Germans for South Africa and the French for North Africa, they will seize the Black Sea Strait and control the Sea of ​​Marmara.

Once this strategic goal is achieved, the Russians will be in an invincible position in the Mediterranean Sea: advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended!

Now if Bulgaria rejects the Russian proposal, it will be tantamount to interrupting the Russian Mediterranean strategy, and the outcome is self-evident!

Similarly, the Russian Mediterranean strategy is also in the interests of the French. Only when the Russians enter the Mediterranean, will they not concentrate their efforts on the Far East strategy, or even give up the Far East strategy, which will help ease the pressure on France on the European continent!

Bulgaria has no choice now, no hard work, no harvest!

In Ferdinand's view, what the Russians did this time is quite kind. Although Bulgaria paid a huge price this time, the benefits they gave are also huge!

Even with the generosity of others, Bulgaria can still obtain hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land including Istanbul, Macedonia, East Thrace, Albania, etc.!

In his view, all of these can be compromised. Anyway, after the world war, these rights will return to Bulgaria's hands. It is completely acceptable to use a temporary compromise in exchange for Bulgaria's growth!

After a long silence, Prime Minister Konstantin sighed and said, "Everyone, we have no choice at all now! By agreeing to the conditions of the Russians, Great Bulgaria is basically completed, and the dreams of generations are in our hands. Barely realized in hand!

As for the future, we can only take one step at a time. As long as Bulgaria is strong enough, none of this is a problem! "

Obviously, Prime Minister Konstantin is rational, he has not been dazzled by anger, and knows what is best for Bulgaria's interests!

The conditions of the Russians just got stuck on a point. The Bulgarian navy should be more appropriately called the coast guard. Asking them to control the Sea of ​​Marmara is a complete joke!

That being the case, it is better to leave it to the Russians. After all, if the connection between Europe and Asia of the Ottoman Empire is cut off, Bulgaria's chances of winning will increase a lot.

As for the military ports on the territory in the future, they will be controlled by the Russians. That doesn't matter. Anyway, it is still the territory of the Turks. No matter how much profit is sold, everyone will not feel the pain.

This is equivalent to Bulgaria sending out the army, and the Russians sending out the navy to jointly attack the Ottoman Empire. After everyone divides the spoils, everyone doesn't have to worry about being infamous as a traitor!

Then Foreign Minister Megev also spoke: "The current international situation is very favorable to us. The British are bound to win South Africa, but the Germans are not willing to let go. By supporting the Boers and the British to fight in South Africa, And with the support of the European community, there will be no winner in a short time!

At the same time, because of the Egyptian problem, the British and the Turks had a mess, leaving aside the Russian Empire, they still hope that we can weaken the Ottoman Empire to protect their interests in Egypt.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire has long had a plan for the Balkans. They hoped to annex Bosnia and Herzegovina. Due to the strong resistance of the Turks and the opposition of the Russians, it has not been realized.

Oh, now we need to add another Serbia. We can cooperate in this regard. Presumably the Russians are also willing to make this deal with them!

As for other powers, they have limited strength in the Balkans and are unable to interfere with our actions!

What's more, it is still the weakest time for the Turks, the country is in a mess, and the endless national uprisings are exhausting the last foundation of this old empire! "

Ferdinand was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the foreign minister, who is usually quiet, is still a hawk through and through, and now he is starting to encourage everyone to do it.

Moreover, his proposal happened to be exactly what Ferdinand needed now. He successfully diverted everyone's attention, and now many people are very moved.

Of course, Ferdinand also knew that this was based on the premise that Bulgaria's core interests were not damaged. Now Bulgaria is at a time when nationalism is on the rise, and everyone is inevitably affected, and they attach great importance to national interests.

However, Ferdinand interrupted everyone's unrealistic delusions.

"Okay, let's all take back our thoughts! We are not ready at all. Weapons and ammunition are still a pile of raw materials. No matter how good the opportunity is, we can't learn from the Serbs and let the soldiers take a pile of broken copper and iron. Go directly to the battlefield to die!"

With the negative teaching material of Serbia, Bulgaria is no longer popular "the theory of victory over courage". After all, Serbian soldiers are really brave, but on the battlefield, they were defeated by the Bulgarian army!

Everyone secretly lamented that they had missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Ferdinand didn't take it seriously. The domestic conflicts in the Ottoman Empire had a long history, so how could it be cleared up in a short while.

The international situation does not change in a day or two. The value of South Africa is so great that it makes the whole of Europe jealous, and Britain intends to kick the Germans off and take it all by itself, so as not to create trouble for them, is that still William II?

Even if the British can settle the Germans at a high price, what about the French, Spaniards, Dutch...? It can't be settled, can it? As long as there is the support of the great powers, the Boers are not so easy to deal with!

Isn't it just three years in history? This is still based on the premise that the British settled the Germans, won over the Portuguese, and by the way, cheated the Spaniards in the Spanish-American War and won the support of the Americans.

Now? The Americans were still the vanguard of the anti-British movement. They didn't have the guts to go straight to it, but they sent volunteers to help the Boers with their own dry food.

Oh, historically, the US government supported the British, but the people still donated money and materials, and organized volunteers to add trouble to the British.
