Bulgarian Empire

After the German-Austrian coalition forces retreated to the Tisza River, the Bulgarian army had to stop advancing. They couldn't swim across without a boat, right?

Besides, anyway, Bulgaria has already won this battle on the southern front, and everyone has no deep hatred, so why are you so desperate?

Then the two sides began to stare at each other across the Tisza River. The war has subsided temporarily. Everyone is very busy. The German and Austrian coalition forces are eager to build a defense line, and the Bulgarian army is busy raiding their homes to make a fortune!

The grain hoarded by the capitalists of the Kingdom of Hungary was fortunate enough to be cheaper for Ferdinand, and even the problem of the frontline military rations was solved.

Now the problem is not that it is impossible to fight. As long as Ferdinand is willing, he can still launch a river crossing operation. The Tisza River is not wide, and there is air force cover. As long as casualties are not counted, crossing the river is not a problem at all, but there is no need to continue fighting!

...

When the Bulgarian army entered the Hungarian Great Plain, Dante Christophe began planning to take the Balkan gateway-Belgrade.

However, it was stopped by Ferdinand before it could be implemented. The reason is very simple.

Due to the war, the Kingdom of Hungary has now added hundreds of thousands of refugees. Obviously, this has intensified the determination of the Hungarians to withdraw from the war. Once the Kingdom of Hungary withdraws from the war, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will naturally not be able to hold on.

Now the only thing that hinders the Kingdom of Hungary from withdrawing from the war is the hundreds of thousands of German troops on the front line. As long as they are there, the Hungarians will not dare to act rashly!

Otherwise, if they declared their independence, they would be suppressed. Wouldn't it be a tragedy? You can't count on Ferdinand's integrity, he will send troops to rescue them, right?

Of course, if something happened, Ferdinand would definitely send troops to help, but taking advantage of the fire would naturally be indispensable. In case of any accident along the way, it would be too late, this is beyond human power!

...

In the Royal Palace of Sofia, Ferdinand is holding a conference on how to deal with Hungary after the war. As an old neighbor, Bulgaria undoubtedly has the largest voice on this issue.

Even though John Bull gave them a promise, Italy's lessons have already told the Hungarians that it is best to obtain the endorsement of the countries involved in the Allied Powers before acting.

The county magistrate is not as good as the current management. A large area of ​​the Hungarian Kingdom is in the hands of Bulgaria. If Bulgaria's understanding cannot be obtained, it will be very difficult to clarify the ownership of these lands in the future.

Unless the Hungarians think they can regain lost ground by force, it's better to negotiate the terms first before acting, so as not to cry in the future.

The battle on the southern front ended so calmly. Ferdinand is in a good mood recently, so the Hungarians have caught up with a good time. Of course, his good mood cannot change the final result!

Foreign Minister Megev said calmly: "Your Majesty, the Hungarian representatives have arrived in Sofia secretly, and they have submitted an application to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for peace talks.

Judging from the current contact, the attitude of the Hungarians is still very firm. They hope to restore the territory before the war. They want to take back the Central Danube Plain and Transylvania Plateau from us. "

Ferdinand smiled slightly and asked, "What price did the Hungarians offer?"

As a defeated country, if you want to withdraw from the war, how can it be possible without paying the price?

Megev laughed and said, "They cooperate with us to deal with the German army in the territory of the Kingdom of Hungary, and at the same time, they also have the friendship of the Kingdom of Hungary!"

Prime Minister Constantine said with a smile: "Is it a condition to kill this German army? If the Hungarians are capable, let them let the Germans go. I want to see if the Germans will let them go as a traitor?"

As for the friendship of the Kingdom of Hungary? The Hungarian Kingdom after independence is just an ordinary kingdom. Is their friendship valuable? "

It's not that Constantine discriminated against them, but that the status of the two sides is not equal at all. The Kingdom of Hungary, which remained in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, is still a member of the great powers.

The independent Kingdom of Hungary was just an ordinary kingdom.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, the status of great powers and ordinary countries was very different, otherwise Ferdinand would not have wasted so much effort to get Bulgaria to join the club of great powers!

Although the Hungarians are ready for independence, they are not ready to face the changes in international status caused by independence, and they still conduct diplomacy with the international status of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Obviously, it is impossible for Bulgaria to buy them. If it is the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they are indeed qualified to stop losses, but it is only a Hungarian kingdom. After the war, Bulgaria does not carve them up with Mao Xiong.

Foreign Minister Megev still smiled and said: "Prime Minister, the Kingdom of Hungary is still valuable to us now, we have to give an explanation, right?"

Prime Minister Constantine nodded, and after a moment of silence he said: "You mean to cheat the Hungarians and write them a bad check?

No, we cannot damage our international reputation for such a trivial matter! "

After speaking, everyone turned their attention to Ferdinand. Usually, such matters are decided by him himself.

After hesitating for a moment, Ferdinand said slowly: "Tell the Hungarians that they can take back these territories, but they have to pay a price. We accept the land redemption.

Of course, if they have made a big enough contribution in this world war, we can also give up asking them for this sum! "

Everyone trembled slightly. There must be a problem here. When did Ferdinand become so talkative? You must know that in Bulgaria's strategic plan, Transylvania has been incorporated into the mainland, so how could it be spit out again? At least the Kingdom of Hungary has not been able to allow Bulgaria to return the meat that has entered the bowl!

So there is no doubt that this is a blank check. Is there any specific standard for how much the Kingdom of Hungary can contribute to this world war?

Unfortunately, no! Only the contribution recognized by Bulgaria is a contribution, otherwise it is tantamount to blindness!

As for the land redemption, this is only equivalent to the required war indemnity in disguise. As long as Bulgaria offers a sky-high price, it will naturally end without a problem!

After understanding what Ferdinand meant, Megeve immediately replied: "Yes!"

The next question is how the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should fool the Hungarians and convince them of Bulgaria's sincerity!

Minister of Education Chekhov suddenly said: "Your Majesty, we have confiscated many farms of Hungarian capitalists. It is too wasteful to leave them abandoned like this. Why not use them to resettle Romanian refugees!"

These farms are all mechanized and do not need a few people at all. However, if all the machinery is destroyed and human intensive cultivation is used, more manpower will be needed.

Chekhov obviously dug a hole in the Hungarians, and directly brought mechanized agriculture back to the human age. If it was a little more sinister, everyone would be allocated land according to the minimum standard, and it would not be a problem to resettle millions of people on these lands. .

After the war, the Hungarians will be surprised to find that the once rich plain in the middle of the Danube no longer exists, replaced by millions of extra Romanians.

If Ferdinand goes too far, it is not impossible to directly establish a Romanian kingdom here.

You must know that due to the war, many local aborigines have already fled, and the production materials left by these people can naturally be used for distribution.

Ferdinand thought for a while and said: "Then, according to the standard of 0.2 hectares (three acres) of land per person, we will allocate land to the Romanian refugees so that they can live and work in peace and contentment in the central Danube plain!"

It's a pity that the land of the veteran nobles cannot be moved, otherwise the Danube alone can settle all the Romanians.

Theoretically, with 0.2 hectares of land per person, 500 people can be resettled in one square kilometer, and 5 million people can be resettled in 10,000 square kilometers.

Of course, this is impossible in practice. The land of 10,000 square kilometers cannot be all cultivated land. Under normal circumstances, there must be buildings, forests, grasslands and other lands.

And the allocation base of 0.2 hectares is already able to meet the minimum requirements for normal life of ordinary people. subsistence.) After all, they also have to exchange other living materials, so they can’t eat all the bread!

But even so, the central Danube plain area controlled by Bulgaria now covers more than 30,000 square kilometers, mainly cultivated land. Even if it is not cultivated land, it can also turn grasslands and forests into cultivated land, soil erosion, environmental protection, etc. Nothing to do with Bulgaria.

And the owners of these lands are undoubtedly mostly nobles, then capitalists, and finally owner farmers.

The properties of the big nobles cannot be moved, but the properties of the small nobles are not counted, especially the new nobles. They have nothing to do with Ferdinand, Pan has nothing to do with them, and even their noble status has not been recognized by the old nobles!

To put it simply, Bulgaria has confiscated nearly four floors of land as usual, all of which can be used for distribution. It has become a foregone conclusion that millions of Romanians will take root here.

It is conceivable that in the future Kingdom of Hungary, the issue of the Romanians will definitely be an important part of it, and a miniature version of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is being conceived!

But everyone didn't think there was a problem at all. Everyone had done the misfortune many times, even teammates could be tricked, not to mention that the Kingdom of Hungary was an enemy of Bulgaria before?

If the Kingdom of Hungary stands on the opposite side of Bulgaria in the future, it is also a good choice to support the independence of the Romanians.
