Bulgarian Empire

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements!? A news that I don’t know whether it is good or bad has reached Sofia, and Queen Xenia has sent a message—the little Ferdinand’s A lifelong event is about to be resolved.

It's just that the object of the marriage is somewhat beyond Ferdinand's expectation. The object of the marriage is actually the Dutch royal family!

Princess Juliana was born in The Hague, Netherlands in 1904, the only daughter of Queen Wilhelmina and Prince Hendrik.

This is the problem. If there is no accident, Princess Juliana will also inherit the throne of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the future, and Ferdinand will inherit the throne of the Kingdom of Bulgaria.

This raises a serious question, how should they live their future husband and wife life?

However, Ferdinand soon put this problem behind him. Under normal circumstances, both he and Queen Wilhelmina still have a long life span, and this problem will not erupt in the short term.

As for the future?

For Ferdinand, after 30 to 40 years, their children's children will be able to make soy sauce, so why don't they just put their children on top?

This is also in line with the actual social traditions in Europe. You can inherit the throne today and pass it on to your children tomorrow. It is all legal behavior.

Except for this point, all the conditions of Princess Juliana met Ferdinand's criteria for choosing a daughter-in-law, with matching identities, no scandals in her private life, good health and no need to worry about fertility issues.

"I have no problem. If little Ferdinand is willing, you can formally propose marriage to the Dutch royal family!" Ferdinand thought for a while and said

As for whether the Dutch royal family will refuse?

Ferdinand didn't even think about it. The Dutch royal family is having a hard time recently. The Indonesian rebellion has consumed a lot of vitality in this country.

A large number of families of the victims and soldiers are looking for trouble with the government. If the rebellion cannot be quelled in a short period of time, the status of the Dutch royal family will be unstable. Now is the time when they most need support!

A political marriage with Bulgaria can not only strengthen the status of the Dutch royal family at this time, but also divert the attention of the people and ease the pressure on the government through this marriage.

After receiving Ferdinand's reply, Xenia breathed a sigh of relief. There are too many factors to consider in the royal marriage, and there are too few suitable candidates, so it is impossible to be too demanding in many aspects.

...

"Helena, what do you think of Juliana and little Ferdinand?" Xenia asked tentatively

Wilhelmina was taken aback, and quickly realized that if the recent rebellion in Indonesia wasn't so worrying, she would have discovered this problem a long time ago.

Xenia found a wife for little Ferdinand with great fanfare, and it was no secret in the European royal family.

From a political point of view, marrying Bulgaria is a temptation that no European royal family can refuse. Today's world is the mainstream era of constitutional monarchy, and there are not many kings who can wield real power.

Bulgaria is one of them, and it is also one of the most powerful countries in the world today. The object of the marriage is the future Bulgarian king, so the political meaning contained in this marriage is destined to be extraordinary.

Many people are speculating that this time Bulgaria and Russia may marry again. Now the youngest daughter of Nicholas II and the young Ferdinand, the cousins, are both at the age of marriage.

But it doesn't matter, the Bulgarian royal family doesn't have many other things, that is, there are many princes, and there are five boys behind, enough for everyone to share.

The only regret is that the political bonus brought by the marriage with the later prince has been weakened a lot, and it is difficult to influence Bulgaria's politics for a long time.

Wilhelmina also thinks so, but what is surprising is that the royal families of Bulgaria and Russia have not announced the news of the marriage for a long time.

If it was a marriage with a certain prince in the future, Wilhelmina would agree without hesitation. If Ferdinand, the crown prince, was replaced, she would have a headache.

As Ferdinand worried, Ferdinand Jr. and Juliana will both be heirs to the throne in the future.

It is impossible for both parties to make concessions and live in the other country for a long time, so what should we do in this married life?

Queen Wilhelmina's own married life was one of the victims of a political marriage that had been in name only since Juliana's birth, and she didn't want her only daughter to follow in her footsteps.

(Queen Wilhelmina's full name: Wilhelmina Helena Pauline Mary; Juliana's full name: Juliana Louise Emma Mary Wilhelmina)

But she was not reconciled to rejecting this marriage, because the political interests contained in it were too great. As long as the news of the marriage between the two parties is announced, the political crisis facing the Dutch royal family can be easily resolved.

"I think the two of them are very good. Why don't you ask what the person concerned thinks? If they don't object, then..." After much hesitation, Queen Wilhelmina made a decision

Born in the royal family, marriage is doomed to be sacrificed. The chance of meeting true love is infinitely small. If they can respect each other like guests, they are model couples.

Just like Ferdinand, does he have love with Xenia? The answer is very clear and cruel, they only have the family affection accumulated by time, and love has entered the grave of marriage before it even started.

Therefore, usually royal marriages, as long as the other party is not too annoying, you should agree to it quickly, otherwise the result will only be worse later.

"Well, of course! We must be responsible for their marriage, this kind of thing is for them to decide!" Xenia said with a smile

...

In 1926, it was the worst year for the Kingdom of the Netherlands. In order to suppress the Indonesian rebellion, the Dutch government organized a counter-insurgency army, but was accidentally tricked by the British.

In less than a year, 150,000 troops were wiped out, which has exceeded the capacity of this kingdom. The most important thing is that the counter-insurgency war is still far away.

For the next war, the Kingdom of the Netherlands had to continue to increase its troops. The Dutch government has sent nearly 400,000 troops. Together with the troops stationed there before, there are still nearly 300,000 troops left.

The war potential of the Kingdom of the Netherlands has almost fully exploded. If they fail again, they will have to reluctantly abandon the Indonesian colony.

Obviously, this is unacceptable to the vested interests in the Netherlands, and when the anti-war wave broke out in Europe, the Kingdom of the Netherlands was naturally affected.

The people demanded an end to the war, but at the same time they were unwilling to give up the huge benefits brought by the Indonesian colony. The Dutch government was in trouble!

Such an illogical request, but in the eyes of ordinary people, these are all reasonable, because they only ask the government to end the war, and did not say that they will give up the current social welfare benefits?

Can such a thing be explained clearly to them?

Obviously it does not exist. Smart people know that many family members of soldiers advocate an immediate end to the war and let their relatives go home and reunite.

If the Dutch government really gave up the colony, negotiated with the rebels to redeem the captives, and then because of the loss of the economic benefits brought by the colony, the government had to cut their social benefits to fill the hole, then they would soon change their face.

This is true for all parties involved, let alone ordinary people? While opposing the war, they were unwilling to give up the benefits they had gained. Such conflicts put pressure on the government.

In this era, how much is the value of Indonesia's colonies? In terms of economic value and military value, it is greater than the sum of all Bulgarian colonies!

The resources here are so rich, and the agricultural resources are so rich that many local people don't have to do anything, they can directly pick wild animals and plants to make a living.

Mineral resources are also unbelievably rich, including oil, natural gas, coal, iron, tin, bauxite, nickel, copper, gold, silver and other mineral resources.

In the 21st century, Indonesia can easily support a population of 200 to 300 million, and directly rely on the export of mineral resources to account for more than 10% of the country's gdp.

It's also because the natural conditions here are so superior, and the locals don't have much will to fight. The fourth most populous country in the world doesn't have much sense of presence internationally.

Even though it is so unwilling to make progress, Indonesia still relies on abundant resources to become one of the top ten economies in the world.

Naturally, the Dutch do not want to let go of such a treasure land. For example, almost all the rubber used in Bulgaria is imported from Indonesia.

The changes in the main rubber producing areas in later generations were mainly caused by the domestic turmoil in Indonesia. Ordinary people disliked the trouble of planting rubber, so they gradually declined.

If one does the statistics, even in this era, the Indonesian economy is bigger than the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

...

As Christmas comes, the Dutch royal family and the Bulgarian royal family simultaneously announced the good news of their marriage to the world. This good news is not only for the parties involved, but also good news for European countries.

The Netherlands is just a small kingdom. Even if the relationship between Paul and Holland changes, it will not affect the world situation. European countries can rest assured that the shadow of the merger between Paul and Russia has disappeared. The British government even held a banquet to celebrate this good news.

Compared with Bulgaria's continued marriage with the Russian royal family, they are still more willing to see that Bulgaria and the Dutch royal family are married.

After all, the alliance between Bulgaria and Russia is too powerful. In the eyes of the British, if the Russian Empire had not broken out in a civil war, the two countries might have merged now.

In the eyes of the outside world, the possibility of a merger between Bulgaria and Russia has never disappeared. If the two royal families marry again, it is almost inevitable that the two royal families will merge into one in the future.

No one thought that little Akelesie, who was seriously ill, could survive Nicholas II, and the possibility of leaving offspring was almost zero.

In this context, the czar’s inheritance rights will fall to the daughter of Nicholas II. In order to maximize the benefits, it is almost inevitable for the youngest daughter to become the czar and Ferdinand Jr. to achieve a smooth transition after the merger of the two countries. s Choice.

It can be said that when Ferdinand and Nicholas II signed a treaty on the joint establishment of the Slavic Federal Empire, they not only deceived the Russians, but even the whole world was deceived.

Although both countries have adopted a high degree of secrecy, when the Germans captured St. Petersburg, this secret agreement was exposed. At that time, both Bulgaria and Russia denied it, saying that it was a German conspiracy.

But everyone still believed it, because the merger of Bulgaria and Russia not only had sufficient benefits, but also had a deep foundation among the people. The people of both countries supported the establishment of a federal empire, and the only dispute was the issue of dominance.

If the heir of the combination of the two royal families becomes the new emperor, it is estimated that no one will object, so that in name everyone will have an equal status.

It can be said that the sudden civil war in the Russian Empire saved the world hegemony of the British Empire, otherwise a behemoth occupying most of the world island would have been born.

Of course, this is what the outside world thinks. Although Ferdinand was also tempted, he reluctantly gave up in the end. The benefits in this way are indeed very large, but the interests of the country are not equal to the interests of the royal family!

The king of Bulgaria, he laid the foundation, and as long as the descendants don't mess around, they are almost as stable as Mount Tai.

But the emperor of the federal empire is not so easy to do. There are the messy problems of Russia inside, and the hostility of countries all over the world outside. Without superb political, military, and diplomatic capabilities, it is impossible to sit firmly in this position.

The British have always believed that the sudden outbreak of rebellion in the Russian Empire saved the world!

In the original alliance between Bulgaria and the Russian Empire, the Russians have always been in a dominant position, so once the two countries merge, the Russian Empire will become the main body of this new empire.

With the outbreak of the civil war in the Russian Empire, all this changed. They did not have the strength to suppress Bulgaria, and Bulgaria also did not have the strength to suppress the Russian Empire.

A battle for dominance will definitely break out between the two sides. Specifically, Bulgaria allowed the civil war in the Russian Empire to break out and acquiesced in Britain and France supporting the rebels.

These were all interpreted by the British as a struggle for dominance between the two sides, so John Bull did not hesitate to invest a lot of resources to continue the Russian Civil War.

In their view, this kind of struggle will definitely escalate as time goes by. Even in the struggle between Austria and Hungary in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, didn't Hungary just cry for independence in the end?

What's more, what about Bulgaria and Russia, which have not yet begun to merge? This marriage between the Bulgarian royal family and the Dutch royal family was regarded by them as a political victory for the British Empire!

Well, these are the claims of the British media. In Ferdinand's view, the British government's actions were just to divert public attention and ease their pressure on public opinion.

As the formulation and implementation of this policy, the Lloyd-George cabinet, and the Stanley Baldwin cabinet, which continued this policy and made the plan a reality, will share this achievement.

No matter how you look at it, it is the serious political consequences brought about by Stanley Baldwin's cabinet in order to resolve the current bungled performance of the British Empire in foreign wars.

The British people were satisfied, and suddenly they discovered that the British Empire had gone through a dangerous period, but fortunately, the government used political means to resolve it.

For a time, the popular approval rating of Stanley Baldwin's cabinet directly reached its peak.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the alliance between Russia and Russia can unify the world island. The population of this combination exceeds the sum of all European countries, and the European continent can also be flattened by relying on crowd tactics.

The Royal Navy of the British Empire is invincible in the world, so let’s forget about the Army of the British Empire. Isn’t the lesson of the First World War not enough?

British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin publicly announced: The current war in the British Empire is to avoid a larger-scale war in the future. This is for the long-term interests of the empire!

In order to enhance its persuasiveness, the British Empire also took the initiative to create enemies for itself, and Japan, Russia, Bulgaria, and France were all honored on the list.

In the new round of risk factor analysis rankings, Japan gloriously occupied the first place. Surprisingly, the Russian Empire ranked second, and France and Bulgaria ranked third and fourth.

Ferdinand knew that this ranking was created by the London media that supported the Conservative Party.

Japan can rank first, that is the credit of Mr. Churchill. If he does not promote the theory of Japan threat, how can he explain the colonial rebellion in Southeast Asia, which has not been put down for a long time?

The Russians ranked second, mainly because of the acceptance of the British people. After all, Bulgaria, which has just risen, has a fart feeling. In the consciousness of many old people, Bulgaria is still a small country.

This subconscious judgment cannot be changed overnight. As a news media, of course it has to meet the needs of the people, otherwise who would they sell the newspaper to?

Originally, the London government launched the Afghan war this time more to prevent the penetration of Bulgarian forces into Central Asia, and it directly turned into resisting the expansion of the Russian Empire to Central Asia among the people.

It is estimated that God does not understand, where did the Russian Empire in the civil war get the courage to expand to Central Asia!

It doesn't care about the media. They just want to create topics. They can sell more newspapers, earn more advertising fees, and help the cabinet relieve political pressure. It's just incidental.
