Bulgarian Empire

The history of the Balkans has been changed beyond recognition because of Ferdinand's intrusion, but the track of world history is still running along the original track!

In order to persuade the Germans to abandon their support for the Boers, they were neutral in the Anglo-Boer War. On May 28, 1898, the British and Germany signed a proposal on the partition of Portuguese African colonies between the two countries. This time is more than 5 months earlier than in history.

The treaty stipulates that when Portugal's financial crisis occurs, Britain and Germany will jointly provide loans, and the Portuguese African colonies will be pledged.

Southern Mozambique and central Angola were owned by the British; northern Mozambique and southern Angola, as well as the Pacific island of East Timor, were owned by the Germans.

Well, now that the Portuguese government is in financial crisis, the usury empire has begun to lend, and even some of the loans have been extended.

But confident William II believes that as long as Britain and Germany join forces, the French will definitely succumb!

Obviously the Germans miscalculated, and the British were just empty hands. Immediately after the agreement was signed, the British took this proposal and found the Portuguese government. After some coercion and lure, the British successfully made the Portuguese government defect.

On June 7, 1898, Britain and Portugal signed the "Treaty of Windsor". The content is similar to that in history, but the time is 16 months earlier than the parallel time and space.

The treaty stipulates: 1. The British have the obligation to protect all Portuguese colonies; 2. The Portuguese government cancels its neutral position in the Anglo-Boer War, allowing the British to use the ports of Portuguese Mozambique, and the Portuguese government cuts off the port from the Portuguese colonies. The material transportation line of the Boer Republic!

While forcing the Portuguese to compromise, the British once again found the French government with this agreement.

Taking advantage of the contradiction between France and Germany, John Bull successfully persuaded the French government to remain neutral in the Anglo-Boer War and give up support for the Boers because the French did not want Germany to continue to expand its strength.

Of course, this also involves the British making substantial concessions to the French on certain issues in North Africa, and ensuring that the interests of the French in Portugal will not be affected!

There is no doubt that the Germans were tricked by John Bull this time!

William II accidentally signed a draft agreement, which was used by the British to successfully break the European continent's joint boycott of Britain!

The Germans became victims of the British diplomatic game, but the German government was powerless to deal with the British's treachery.

When the French withdrew from this operation against the British, the Russians followed suit and withdrew from this operation. This is the tacit understanding brought about by the "French-Russian alliance"!

Previously on the Near East issue, the French supported the Russians, and now the Russians will naturally have to pay back!

Of course, Bulgaria also withdrew from the operation. Ferdinand didn't have the courage to provoke Hu Xu from the British, and Belgium, Denmark and other countries also withdrew from the operation.

Knowing that William II, who was cheated, can only yell a few times now. After all, at sea, the Triple Alliance of Germany, Austria, and Italy is not an opponent of the British.

Without the support of European countries, the Boers once again embarked on the old path of history. Of course, it is not clear yet that in the previous wave of support from various countries, the Boers now have more than tens of thousands of mercenaries with strong combat capabilities than the parallel time and space, which will still suppress the British lobster soldiers.

Even though the British had blocked the port, there were always daring capitalists smuggling supplies to the Boer Republic.

As for whether there are any shadows of other forces in it? Ferdinand can say with certainty, of course! Germans, French, and Dutch are all indispensable. If Bulgaria is not too far away, Ferdinand would like to participate!

Anyway, these small actions cannot be put on the stage. Even if the British find out, they can still let the Russians top the tank!

The Anglo-Boer War, now Ferdinand can no longer care. Anyway, there will be no two or three years without exhausting the supplies reserved by the Boers,

It can't be over!

Ferdinand even suspected that if the continent of Europe could continue to transfuse blood to the Boer Republic, maybe this would be another war of independence.

In this war, the performance of the lobster soldiers was really embarrassing. But there is no harm without comparison. The performance of the U.S. Army in Cuba shocked Ferdinand even more. He can only sigh that this is a worse era!

Of course, the Spanish army is not much better. Even the Cuban Revolutionary Army can't handle it. Even so, they can still fight against the US military.

However, the battle scale of the Cuban War Army was not large. Seeing that the Spaniards were difficult to deal with, the Americans directly fooled the Cuban Revolutionary Army to charge into the battle. Naturally, the Spaniards were finished, and the main force of the Cuban Rebel Army was almost exhausted.

After the Americans wiped out the Spanish Cuban fleet, the 24,000 Spanish troops surrounded by the Cuban rebels surrendered to the U.S. forces on July 10.

It is not for nothing that Lenin called the Spanish-American War one of the signs of the coming era of imperialism. (There are also the Anglo-Boer War and the Russo-Japanese War, which are also symbols of the imperialist era)

In this surrender ceremony, the Cuban rebels were excluded. Of course, this is a small section, and the Cuban rebels can still bear a little grievance!

On December 10 of the same year, the United States and Spain signed the "Treaty of Paris". The treaty stipulates that the Kingdom of Spain renounces all rights and interests in Cuba, Cuba gains independence, and the island of Cuba will be occupied by the US military;

When the U.S. military occupied Cuba, the Americans immediately turned their backs and first forcibly disbanded the Cuban rebel army. Under the conspiracy of the Americans, after the Cuban rebel army was disbanded, the US imperialism raised its butcher knife to the high-level Cuban rebel army, and the independence movement of the Cubans was declared a failure.

Then he ordered pro-American elements to form a Cuban puppet government, and then signed an extremely harsh treaty with the United States.

The Cubans had just become independent from the Kingdom of Spain, and immediately became a colony of the Americans. The United States has so nakedly imposed unequal treaties on its neighbors, which is rare in the history of modern diplomacy.

When the Spanish-American War broke out, the Germans were not idle. Prior to this, the German government had negotiated with the Kingdom of Spain to purchase the Philippine Islands and other Pacific Islands.

When the Spanish-American War broke out, the navies of Britain, Germany, and Japan were in Manila Bay. Unwilling to lose the Philippine Islands, the Germans prepared to intervene. At this time, the five German warships in Manila were stronger than the American fleet, but with the arrival of the Japanese and British fleets, the Germans did not dare to act rashly.

Ferdinand guessed that the Japanese of later generations must regret it in their hearts. If they had known that the Germans had plans to do something, they would not have gone to Manila Bay if they were killed. They even wanted to find a way to help transfer the British!

But there is no if in history, the Japanese just let the Americans in!

Otherwise, if the Germans had acquired the Philippine Islands, the Japanese would have already acquired the Philippine Islands in World War I and their gateway in the Pacific Ocean. They would not have to take the risk of attacking Pearl Harbor in World War II. The world pattern may change. Change!

Of course, the German government did not give it in vain. They still spent five million US dollars to purchase some of the islands in the Western Pacific Ocean, which was regarded as the appearance fee for this operation.

The impact of the Spanish-American War was far-reaching. The direct result was that the US government directly annexed the Kingdom of Hawaii after the war. As for the original aborigines, later generations have disappeared into the long river of history!

Immediately afterwards, the U.S. government played the banner of "opening the door" and joined in the plundering of China. ... (10,000 words omitted here)

Far away in Sofia, Ferdinand really watched a good show. The wonderful game between the great powers made Ferdinand refreshed. In comparison, the battles among the Balkan countries can only be child's play.

Of course, Ferdinand was not idle, and his inability to cause trouble for the Americans did not mean that he could not cause trouble for his neighbors either!

The Austro-Hungarian Empire was the one to bear the brunt, and being a neighbor to a great power is also a challenging job, even if the great power is very imaginary!

Since the Austro-Hungarian Empire sent troops to Serbia, the Bulgarian military had to keep up their spirits and stare at the border of Baosai.

There is no way, now that the international situation is changing so fast, who knows if the Austro-Hungarian Empire will go crazy and come to Bulgaria.

However, the performance of the Austro-Hungarian army soon reassured Ferdinand. Now the Austro-Hungarian Empire has more than 200,000 troops in Serbia, but facing the Serbian Revolutionary Army, they can only defend the northern plains and some major cities!

For the mountains in southern Serbia, they have attacked many times, but in the end they lost their troops and returned without success.

It can't be said that there is no gain at all, they still killed a lot of Serbian revolutionary army, after all, Serbia is so big, the revolutionary army can't hide even if they want to!

Of course, the combat effectiveness of the Serbian Revolutionary Army is also based on the selfless dedication of the Kingdom of Montenegro, and a large part of it was paid for by Ferdinand!

Of course, Bulgaria contributed behind the scenes, and it was the Russians who were blamed. Ferdinand dared not come out to be a hero!

Every time Nicholas I asked Bulgaria for support, Ferdinand asked him to convince the Russians first, and then wait for a telegram from St. Petersburg. This telegram was Ferdinand's weapon to deal with the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

Ferdinand also complained to his uncle in Vienna many times, urging them to deal with the Serbs quickly, or deal with the Russians, and don't make it difficult for him!

Well, the contradiction between Baosai is enough to make people believe that he is unwilling to support the Serbian Revolutionary Army. It is all done by Russia and the Kingdom of Montenegro, and Bulgaria is only responsible for making soy sauce. Even so, the Vienna government is putting more and more pressure on him!

At this time, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was also somewhat difficult to ride a tiger, and they also wanted to save face. Now the newspapers in Austria-Hungary are all scolding Serbia for being ungrateful and want to teach them a lesson.

If they retreat now, where will their faces be put? If this is withdrawn, will they still have a foothold in the world? At least, the interests of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the Balkans will be dealt a devastating blow!

Foreign Minister Megev hurried over and said: "Your Majesty, the Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire has just sent an invitation letter, inviting us to send troops to Serbia together!"

"What? Inviting us to send troops to Serbia, the Vienna government is out of their minds?" Ferdinand asked in disbelief

Megev said with a wry smile: "Yes! The news is indeed shocking, but the invitation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is indeed true!"

Ferdinand calmed down, pondered for a moment, and said fiercely: "No! The Ministry of Foreign Affairs politely rejected the Vienna government and told them that we are not interested in Serbia!"

What's not interesting? Ferdinand is self-aware. The most important thing for Bulgaria now is to digest the fruits of war, not to go to Serbia to grab territory!

The Austro-Hungarian Empire lured Bulgaria to send troops, mainly because they thought it was troublesome to govern the southern mountains of Serbia, and the revolutionary army was still entrenched.

It is probably based on the idea of ​​​​losing the burden, otherwise I really think that the Austro-Hungarian Empire is ruthless, and I can't deal with a disabled Serbia?
