Bulgarian Empire

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? The sudden outbreak of chaos in Central America not only fooled the British, but even Ferdinand was blown up. If there is chaos, it is impossible for so many countries to explode together like going to a market?

It's a pity that Bulgaria's intelligence network in the Americas is not perfect, and it is impossible to track down the black hands behind the scenes. Ferdinand can only guess out of thin air.

There are only a handful of countries or forces in the world that have this strength and the ability to stir up chaos in Central America.

The first is the British, but they don't have to make trouble with themselves. Even if there is any conspiracy, it can be carried out after they have ended the two wars.

Unless it is an internal struggle, the two sides have reached the point of life and death, and it is possible to engage in such an action in order to defeat political opponents.

Theoretically, it is impossible to happen in the British Empire. The power of political parties is not so strong, and most of them are concentrated in the country. Unless it is planned by a consortium, the chance of this is very small!

Secondly, it is the finance of the United States. In other words, the American consortium, the US government is finished, and these consortiums have suffered heavy losses, but most of their core strength has been preserved.

They have been operating in Central American countries for 180 years, and they have the strength to provoke this war.

But the problem is, Ferdinand couldn't think of a reason why they would do this? After all, there is a price to pay for planning this turmoil. Even if Central America is in chaos, what benefits can they gain?

Then, there's the French. They also barely have the strength to plan this Central American war. In theory, they were motivated to plan this incident in order to hit the British.

It's a pity that although the motivation exists, the timing is wrong, and the messy problems of the French government have not been resolved. It is obviously not wise to provoke the British at this time.

Another one is the Spaniards who don't have much sense of presence. Central America was originally their colony. Even though they have become independent, the Spaniards still have a lot of influence in the local area.

This was the only suspect excluded by Ferdinand for the simple reason that the Spaniards had no way to turn this influence into action.

In the end, it was planned by people inside Central American countries. They are all suspicious of this, whether it is internal struggle to seize power, or expansion of territory.

For the rest of the countries and powers, don’t think about it, don’t worry about the motives, just look at the strength and understand, even if you want to do it, you can’t do it!

"Your Majesty, in order to alleviate the financial pressure, the British raised the toll of the Suez Canal by 20%, and our transportation costs to the Indian Ocean have increased again!" Prime Minister Constantine said through gritted teeth

"Well, did the British increase the tolls for all merchant ships, or only for us?" Ferdinand asked with concern

If it is only aimed at Bulgaria, it means that what they have done before has been exposed. The London government used this method to warn Bulgaria to be quiet.

"All merchant ships, but the British merchant ships will receive tax rebates and subsidies from the government afterwards. In fact, they are only aimed at the countries along the Mediterranean Sea, and our losses are the heaviest!" Constantine said angrily

Sure enough, it is the British Empire. This is a warning from Bulgaria, France, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and it is also forcing the three countries to bow their heads to them!

From the perspective of transportation, Bulgaria can get rid of the Suez Canal. In theory, Bulgaria's industrial and commercial products can be transported by Baghdad railway, and then directly enter the Indian Ocean from the Persian Gulf.

Obviously this only exists in theory, the cost of rail transport is not low, in the 20th century, the cheapest mode of transport was sea transport.

If the transportation is carried out by land, the transportation cost will increase by at least 20 to 30% compared with the current one. Obviously, this is not acceptable to Bulgaria.

The toll for the Suez Canal has always been an important expense in Bulgaria's maritime transportation costs, and the toll has been increased by 20%.

This means that the transportation cost will increase by seven or eight percentage points, and it also means that the net profit of Bulgaria's exported industrial products will drop by two or three percentage points.

Most of the manufacturing industry is not a profiteering industry. Now that the British have come to cut such a knife, they are simply challenging Bulgaria's bottom line!

compromise?

On this issue, France may be able to compromise. Their main economy is the financial industry, and processing and manufacturing exports account for a small proportion of the economy.

Austria-Hungary could also compromise. Their sea transportation is underdeveloped, and most of their overseas transportation is done through international shipping companies. For example: British shipping companies and Bulgarian shipping companies are their main employment targets.

Only Bulgaria has no way to make concessions on this issue. If the British make such a card, Bulgaria will have to pay at least hundreds of millions of levas in tolls every year.

This is also a big blow to domestic industry and commerce. If you endure it this time, what if the British continue to increase tolls next time?

What should I do?

Cutting meat slowly is the most ruthless. If you want to treat Bulgaria's industry and commerce like a pig, you are killing Ferdinand!

As the world's largest capitalist and the world's largest factory owner, this simply hit Ferdinand's lifeblood.

"The Foreign Office sent a stern note to the London government, let's see what the London government wants to do!

At the same time, the government immediately launched the exploration of the Gulf of Aqaba Canal. We cannot be stuck by the British all the time! said Ferdinand harshly.

If it were not for political factors, later generations of Israel would have dug the Grand Canal in the Gulf of Aqaba long ago.

From a geographical point of view, the Gulf of Aqaba and the Suez Canal are comparable, but the distance to dig the canal from the Gulf of Alaba will increase by 180 kilometers.

As for the technical problem, it does not exist at all. It is nothing more than an extra lake in the Suez Canal, which reduces the difficulty of construction.

This problem is not worth mentioning at all. Besides, when the Suez Canal was excavated in the last century, it could only be carried by hand. Now that excavators and cars have been born, the technical difficulty has been greatly reduced.

In fact, as early as after the end of World War I, Bulgaria had a plan to dig a canal in the Gulf of Aqaba, but it never started because of its relationship with the British.

Now that the British have raised the toll without saying a word, it is no wonder that Ferdinand dug the Grand Canal in the Gulf of Aqaba to compete with them for business.

Even in a hurry, Bulgaria still directly exempts tolls. Anyway, the most navigable ships on this route are Bulgarian merchant ships, and they will never lose money.

"Your Majesty, there are no technical problems. The design plan for the Gulf of Aqaba Canal has been piled up in our Ministry of Communications for several years, but what about the political impact?

If the British knew that we were digging the Grand Canal in the Gulf of Aqaba, would they come out to sabotage it, or even directly prohibit our ships from passing through the Suez Canal? "Transportation Secretary Beshear said hesitantly.

"That depends on whether the British have made up their minds to fight us!" Ferdinand said with a sneer

Everyone's face changed drastically, and they recovered soon after. The British are very busy now, and if they want to turn against Bulgaria, at least they have to wait until they are done!

First came the quagmire of war in Afghanistan, and then a bigger quagmire in Southeast Asia, and now the chaos in Central America has dragged the British Empire into it.

At this time, do they still have enough troops available?

Obviously it does not exist. If there is not enough army, a war will break out with Bulgaria. The Royal Navy is indispensable. A war that hurts both sides is definitely not what the London government wants!

No matter how powerful John Bull's diplomacy is, Ferdinand is not afraid now.

Unlike the Germans, Bulgaria is not sandwiched between several major powers, so there is a lot to do.

For example: No matter what kind of benefits the British promised them, the French would not allow them to spend millions of troops and go to the Near East to fight Bulgaria.

Even if the French government is crazy, the French people will kill them as soon as possible.

As for the Germans, the British dared to arm Germany, so the French became Bulgaria's natural allies, and the hatred between France and Germany was not so easy to unravel.

Besides, there are so many kingdoms inside Germany? Who would be willing to watch the central government grow bigger and lose them to the republic?

You can't expect the German central government to kill these kingdoms in one go, and then push them over from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and then fight with Bulgaria, right?

It is estimated that they have just started to act, and they are about to face the joint attack of the three countries of Baofao!

In addition, can the British in continental Europe find teammates worthy of Ferdinand's attention?

Apparently this doesn't exist!

Among the remaining major European countries, Italy is really abolished, and the Kingdom of Spain is not strong enough. They are not qualified to be teammates for the British.

The pro-protection faction in the Austro-Hungarian Empire is much stronger than the pro-British faction, not to mention there are still a lot of internal conflicts, so prepare to collapse as soon as the war starts!

The last big European country, unfortunately, is still an ally of Bulgaria, and is still busy fighting a civil war. It is impossible to take millet from the fire for the British!

Now that the two countries are at war, the big deal is that they will be blocked by the British for three to five years, and then Bulgaria will also launch an infinite submarine war to hunt British merchant ships in the Atlantic Ocean.

As for the magic of the Suez Canal, it is estimated that it will be paralyzed on the first day of the war, and then the Bulgarian army will fight all the way to South Africa and India to defeat the British world hegemony.

Then he was also counterattacked by the British, and he suffered five labors and seven injuries. The two sides were equivalent to dying together, allowing other countries to rise.

This is why Ferdinand tried his best to avoid directly fighting with the British. After all, once the war broke out, Japan, France, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire might all be fishermen.

They even worked as fishermen together, waiting for the final blow to bring down the British and Bulgarian countries together.

"Your Majesty, maybe we can pull the Mediterranean countries to dig the Aqaba Canal together, and take this opportunity to establish a circum-Mediterranean alliance to exclude the British!" Foreign Minister Megev suggested

Ferdinand's heart brightened. This is indeed a good idea. If France and the Austro-Hungarian Empire can be pulled to form the Mediterranean Alliance, then the political structure of the world will change again.

The dominance of the British Empire will no longer exist, and even on the issue of the European continent, the British can be excluded.

This is very important for the future, the only trouble is the issue of dominance, neither the French nor Bulgaria can easily let go.

If this problem is not handled well, then this alliance will be full of contradictions in the future, and such an alliance will lose its original function!

"Well, this proposal is very good. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs can contact France and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. If we can reach an agreement, it will be very beneficial to our future development!"

Ferdinand hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to give it a try. History told him that the final winner was not only the strongest, but also the one with the most allies.

The lesson of the Germans made Ferdinand remember one thing - never stand in an isolated position, unless you are strong enough to fight against the whole world!

"Your Majesty, don't you want to bring in the Russians? If the Russians also join this alliance, the influence will become even greater!" Prime Minister Constantine asked suspiciously

"Having Russians joining this alliance can indeed increase our influence, but what about the Russia-Austria conflict?

Although this contradiction has been temporarily suppressed, it will definitely explode one day in the future. At that time, we will face the same dilemma as the Germans. Who do we choose to support?

That being the case, why not let this tragedy happen in the first place?

What is being established now is the Mediterranean Alliance, and the Russians are not a Mediterranean country. We don’t invite them to join, which is also the past, and this will not affect our alliance with the Russians!

In the future, when the Russian Civil War ends and the Russia-Austria conflict breaks out, we still have room for maneuver, so we won’t have to choose between the two sides! ’ explained Ferdinand

Ferdinand's meaning is very clear. The alliance between Bulgaria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire is limited to the interests of the Mediterranean Sea, and the alliance with the Russians is also limited to the common economic interests of both parties.

In the future, if conflicts break out between Russia and Austria due to problems in the European continent, Bulgaria can still mediate.
