Bulgarian Empire

In the golden autumn of October, the annual harvest season came again. The joy of harvest wiped out the pain caused by the world war, and the whole Bulgaria was bathed in the joy of harvest!

"Your Majesty, the Russian special envoy Count Paul is here!" the maid whispered into Ferdinand's ear.

Ferdinand put down the documents in his hand, and the Russians still came to the door, both within his expectation and beyond his expectation!

It stands to reason that the Russians should have come to ask for help a long time ago. Whether it is the Russian Civil War or the Paris Peace Conference, Nicholas II cannot do without the support of Bulgaria!

Ferdinand did not expect that the Russians would be able to wait until now. You must know that coming one day later may be a great loss to the Russian Empire!

The largest force of the Russians is still in Germany. Without the support of Bulgaria, it would be impossible for them to return home. The Tsarist government is simply unable to provide them with logistical supplies.

"Bring him here, I'll meet him right here!" Ferdinand said lightly

Compared with that year, Earl Paul is already old, and he is no longer in high spirits. He is no longer the ambassador to Paul, but his spirit is still very good.

They have been "old friends" for many years, and the two of them met very casually. It could be seen that he was a little anxious, and Ferdinand didn't talk about family routines anymore.

"What do you want to drink? Feel free!" Ferdinand said lightly

"I'd rather coffee!" Earl Paul replied

As soon as he finished speaking, a maid handed him a cup of coffee, which was obviously already prepared. Not only coffee, but also all kinds of tea and snacks are kept in the palace 24 hours a day. Ferdinand has no intention of treating himself badly in this regard.

"Paul, what needs you to do it yourself?" Ferdinand said casually

Earl Paul smiled bitterly and said, "Didn't Your Majesty ask this question knowingly? There are three things I have come here today: First, we hoped to obtain His Majesty's support at the Paris Peace Conference; second, our expeditionary force returned home and needed His Majesty's support; Finally, in the upcoming civil war, we hope that His Majesty can blockade the Black Sea and cut off the overseas material passages of the rebellious party!"

Ferdinand's face darkened, and he said seriously: "These questions are very troublesome, let's talk about them one by one!

First of all, I want to know, what do you want to achieve at the Paris Peace Conference? To be able to decide whether to give you support? "

Paul thought it was so, and now Bulgaria is no longer the little brother of the Russian Empire, everything must be based on interests, but he is not unprepared.

"As a member of the Allied Powers, we also made significant contributions in this war. We wiped out at least 2 million Austro-Hungarian troops and 1.5 million German troops.

Even for the benefit of the Union, there was a rebellion in the Russian Empire, so we need to get enough compensation! "

Ferdinand interrupted impatiently: "Paul is an old friend, there is no need to come here so much, just tell me what you want!"

Earl Paul's heart suddenly fell silent, 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.

After all, he was used to the wind and waves, Earl Paul quickly adjusted his mood, did not try again, and directly showed the bottom line: "We hope that the entire Polish region, the Germans in the Baltic Sea ports, and Russia The Empire wants £8 billion in war reparations!"

Ferdinand rolled his eyes, thinking that the Russians really dare to open their mouths. If it was the Russian Empire in its heyday, the conditions they raised would not be too much at all, even a little too low!

But the Russian Empire, which is going through the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, they are not qualified to do this. Even if Poland is given to them, will the Tsarist government still have the ability to rule?

In the case of continuous civil strife, you still want to expand the territory. How much water has been poured into your brain to be able to do it?

After a moment of silence, Ferdinand said slowly, "Is this your bottom line? With your current strength,

Do you still plan to continue to fight another war with the Austro-Hungarian Empire? "

This is not Ferdinand talking nonsense, the Austro-Hungarian Empire has already joined the Allied Powers, and it is impossible for Britain and France to support their annexation of Austrian Poland for the purpose of restricting the Russian Empire.

Without the support of Britain and France, the Russian Empire wants to acquire Austrian Poland. The Vienna government is not afraid of the bear in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. At worst, there will be another war. The question is, can the Tsarist government afford it now?

Earl Paul's face darkened. He knew that Ferdinand was rejecting their request. Originally, their plan was to use Bulgaria's support to force the Austro-Hungarian Empire to make concessions, but now Ferdinand has expressed his attitude. Bulgaria will not Will intervene in the dispute between them and the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

"Okay then, we can get German Poland, right?" Earl Burrow said unwillingly

As a staunch supporter of great chauvinism, asking him to make concessions in the territory is undoubtedly a knife in his heart!

After thinking for a while, Ferdinand smiled and said, "This is your problem. Let me declare first that Bulgaria can support you at the Paris Peace Conference, but there is no guarantee of success!"

Ferdinand laughed secretly in his heart. It is not sure whether it will be successful, but it must be impossible! Thinking that Britain and France are still their allies now?

Or is it because Nicholas II thought that he had made concessions to Bulgaria in carve-up of the Ottoman Empire, in exchange for Bulgaria's full support?

Now the Caucasus region is the territory of Nicholas I Jr., even if it gains benefits, it is still an enemy for Nicholas II. What can they do?

What's more, even if he got it, Nicholas I didn't have the energy to expand the territory of the Russian Empire. If he has this energy, he might as well use it to grab land in the country!

When the Paris Peace Conference starts the day after tomorrow, when the three Russian Empire delegations make their appearance, there will be excitement!

If you really want the lion to open its mouth, it is estimated that Britain and France would not mind changing a Russian delegation to participate in the peace conference. Anyway, there are still two spare tires. They are all representatives of the Russian Empire, aren't they?

Without the full support of Bulgaria, Earl Paul said with some disappointment: "Okay then! Your Majesty's matter about the return of the expeditionary force, look..."

This time Ferdinand said very straightforwardly: "No problem! Bulgaria will also provide them with a month of logistical supplies free of charge to ensure that they can return home smoothly!"

Earl Paul hesitated to speak. Frankly speaking, what Ferdinand did in this regard was interesting enough. He didn’t embarrass them in the slightest. He also provided a month’s supplies for free, so he was too embarrassed to speak again!

Looking at Paul's performance, Ferdinand knew what he was thinking, so he said very proudly: "In view of the friendly relationship between our two countries, then I will send you another half a million rifles, three thousand machine guns, and Eight hundred cannons ready!"

Well, these weapons were needed for the previous war, and they had already been equipped for the Russians. After all, they also helped fight the Germans, so he was embarrassed to take them back.

Anyway, the world war is over, and weapons and equipment are really worthless at this time, and they can only be scrapped when they are brought back. However, weapons and equipment can be given away for free, but the ammunition has to be bought by the Russians themselves, so this business will never lose money!

Earl Paul, who didn't know that he fell into the pit, said very happily: "Thank you Your Majesty for helping us, the Russian people will always remember it in their hearts!"

"The Russian people will always remember it in their hearts." Hearing this, Ferdinand almost choked. If the Russian people knew what he did, they would probably really remember it, and they would still be gnashing their teeth. !

He wanted to think about it, but Ferdinand was still very happy on the surface, waiting for Earl Paul's next words.

After a pause, Earl Paul continued: "Your Majesty, what about the blockade of the Black Sea?"

Ferdinand's face suddenly collapsed, and he sighed and said: "This matter is very troublesome, and our status is inconvenient to do it ourselves, why don't you send someone over to do it yourself!

Anyway, our two countries also have a covenant to share military ports. We will sell you a few warships and lend you two more ports! "

Earl Paul was dumbfounded by this kind of operation, but after thinking about it, he suddenly discovered that there is a precedent for this. Didn’t they stab the Ottoman Empire like this before? It's okay to come and operate now, right?

The task was completed so easily, and Earl Paul was a little unbelievable. Originally, he planned to take the harem route, but now it seems that there is no need for it.

Earl Paul said a little excitedly: "No problem, thank you so much!"

Ferdinand smiled slightly, and reminded him kindly: "It is better that the people you send should be clean and capable. Considering the current level of integrity of your country's officials, I doubt that your blockade will exist in name only! "

Earl Paul was very embarrassed by these words. There really were not many honest officials in the Russian Empire, and even he himself was not a good guy, but this time it was of great importance.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will definitely not have any trouble this time!" Earl Paul said reassuringly.

Ferdinand smiled slightly, thinking to himself that the devil is worried about whether you will have trouble. If it is not for making money, he does not care whether the Russian blockade can be established!

If Nicholas II really blocked the Black Sea, then the Moscow government and Nicholas I would have to go overland if they want to buy supplies. In this regard, Bulgaria's geographical location has a natural advantage. ?

If you don't attack your competitors, when will you be able to dispose of the scrapped weapons and equipment and the remaining strategic materials in Bulgaria?
