Bulgarian Empire

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements!? On October 4, 1927, British Foreign Secretary Attlee submitted the "Proposal on the Handling of the Russian Problem" to the League of Nations meeting. It opened the prelude to the division of the Russian Empire.

It was also on this day that the League of Nations meeting accepted representatives of Russian Poland, Finland, Belarus, and the three Baltic states to join the talks.

In the case of soy sauce in Bulgaria, Britain and France dominated the League of Nations meeting, the only legal status of the tsarist government representing the Russian Empire no longer existed, and representatives of all parties appeared as the heirs of the Russian Empire.

On October 7, the General Assembly of the League of Nations approved the application for the independence of the above-mentioned regions. This move was strongly opposed by the Tsarist government, but it was still passed by a high vote.

Nicholas II hoped to become the nominal leader of the major forces, but was also rejected by representatives of all parties. The split of the Russian Empire was inevitable.

After receiving the final resolution of the League of Nations meeting, Nicholas II angrily tore up the telegram, and then had to accept this reality.

At this point, all he can do is to preserve the vitality of the country as much as possible and prepare for the future.

"Prime Minister, what do the Bulgarians say?" Nicholas II asked with concern

"Your Majesty, Bulgaria promised to continue to support us at the League of Nations meeting. However, judging from the process of this meeting, the attitude of the Bulgarians towards us has changed. Many times they have chosen to remain silent!" said the prime minister in embarrassment

"Bastard, this is a naked betrayal!" Nicholas II slammed the table and said angrily

"Your Majesty, calm down!" the Prime Minister comforted

"Do you think I can calm down? The most important ally of the Russian Empire suddenly betrayed us, but we have to endure it!" Nicholas II said fiercely

"Your Majesty, the situation is not that bad. The Bulgarians are still on our side in essence, but... for the sake of their interests, they cannot resist the diplomatic pressure of Britain and France for us!" The Minister of Finance said nervously

"Tell the Bulgarians that if they cannot fully support us in the following meetings, then dissolve the Bulgarian alliance!" Nicholas II said with a sneer

"Your Majesty, no! If there is no Bulgaria-Russia Alliance, the situation will be even worse!" the Prime Minister said hastily

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is right, if there is no Bulgaria-Russia Alliance, the situation will be even worse.

In the upcoming negotiations, the rebel party supported by Britain and France will definitely make progress! ’ said the Chancellor of the Exchequer

...

In a flash, the military and political officials below tried to dissuade Nicholas II. Such an untimely move was simply a way of death.

Nicholas II is not stupid, how could he not know? It's just that he blurted out in a fit of anger, and he regretted it when he said it.

Some things, you can think about it, but you must never say it!

The current tsarist government, without the support of Bulgaria, may collapse within half a year! Everyone is in this chain of interests, so it is natural to prevent this tragedy from happening.

The current tsar is not as deterrent as the previous tsar. In order to suppress the rebellion, Nicholas II also made a series of concessions, and the power of the cabinet has been greatly increased.

Before the world war, the tsar could tell the cabinet to leave when he got angry, but Nicholas II can't do it now.

In theory, he has the right to dismiss the cabinet. In fact, Nicholas II did not dare to toss about casually. Without the support of these people, his position as tsar could be lost at any time.

He imitated the military aristocratic system created by Bulgaria, which was indeed very effective, allowing him to gain the morale of the army and keep the throne, but now this group has begun to get out of control.

The newly-rising military nobles no longer completely obeyed the command of the tsar, they also began to consider their own interests.

plus a series of failures,

It is also constantly hitting the prestige of the tsar. In the minds of these bureaucrats, Nicholas II is no longer a high god, but just an ordinary person.

From god to man, the consequences are naturally disastrous. If this is not Europe, maybe he has been replaced by someone else.

Facing the one after another persuasion by the crowd, Nicholas II withdrew his order as good as he could.

He himself didn't know this sentence, which directly made the Russian Empire take an important step from a monarchy to a constitutional monarchy.

...

On October 10th, the League of Nations passed the deliberations, and the new independent nation was born:

Russian Poland became independent and the Kingdom of New Poland was established;

Finland becomes independent and the Grand Duchy of Finland is established;

The Belarus region became independent and the Kingdom of Belarus was established;

The Baltic Sea region becomes independent, and the three states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are established.

In one day, the tsarist government lost nearly 800,000 square kilometers of territory, and six more independent countries were added to the world.

This is not over yet, if the territorial issue is not resolved, two independent countries will be born.

It can be said that the independence of these six countries is entirely the result of the manipulation of Britain and France. Otherwise, these independent organizations do not even have the qualifications to enter the League of Nations, so how can they talk about independence?

Time flies, and seeing that the three parties could not reach an agreement on the territorial issue, Britain, France and Bulgaria had to help them make a decision.

The vast area east of the Ural Mountains is the territory of the Soviets, the east of the Volga River and Central Asia are the territory of Tsar Nicholas Jr., and most of the rest of Europe is still the territory of Nicholas II.

Since then, the Russian Empire has been divided into nine parts, and the Soviet Republic, the largest in terms of territory, has a total area of ​​about 12.59 million square kilometers and a total population of about 22 million.

The Eastern Russian Empire has a total area of ​​about 4.5 million square kilometers and a total population of about 23 million.

The Western Russian Empire has a total area of ​​about 3.8 million square kilometers and a total population of about 47 million.

The Grand Duchy of Finland has a territory of about 330,000 square kilometers and a population of about 1.5 million.

The Kingdom of New Poland has a territory of about 210,000 square kilometers and a population of about 6.3 million.

Belarus has a territorial area of ​​about 200,000 square kilometers and a population of about 2.1 million.

Lithuania has a territory of about 65,000 square kilometers and a population of about 800,000.

Latvia has a territorial area of ​​about 65,000 square kilometers and a population of about 500,000.

Estonia has a territorial area of ​​45,100 square kilometers and a population of about 300,000.

It can be said that the long-term war has consumed the rich human resources of the Russian Empire, and all countries after independence are facing a common problem of lack of young and strong labor force.

From the perspective of human resources, the Western Russian Empire still occupies an absolute advantage, and it still has the potential to unify the Russian Empire in the future.

Therefore, the League of Nations, led by Britain and France, passed a resolution that after independence, the Russian people can freely choose their country of residence, and no country can stop it.

This is equivalent to encouraging everyone to pull people. As long as they have the ability, it is legal to pull all the other party's population away.

If it is done, there is no need to do anything else, and the opponent can be annexed without bloodshed.

Such a good thing, of course, cannot continue. The League of Nations will send supervisors into various countries, and they can recruit people at will within a year, and they will not wait until the expiration date.

This move by John Bull made Ferdinand very uncomfortable, which means that the governments of all countries must find ways to retain the population in the future, and there will be no more immigrants from the Russian Empire from now on.

Even more uncomfortable is Nicholas II, who will undoubtedly become the biggest victim of this policy.

Because of the war, the land is sparsely populated everywhere. At this time, everyone can easily settle a large group of people.

The population advantage that was originally leading will be gradually leveled, and now he is fighting against the other eight countries with the power of one country.

For the sake of national security, after the independence of several other countries, they must join forces to fight against the Western Russian Empire.

This is a balance set by John Bull to keep them at bay.

The Western Russian Empire, which was surrounded strategically, had to pull Bulgaria into the water.

Once Bulgaria supported the West Russian Empire, the relationship with the other eight countries automatically turned into a state of hostility.

And with the deterioration of the Bulgaria-Russia alliance, it is impossible for Bulgaria to support West Russia's annexation of the eight countries, and even to continue this balance for its own benefit.

This will inevitably cause dissatisfaction in West Russia. In the end, the Bulgaria-Russia alliance came to an end and brought a bunch of enemies to Bulgaria.

It can be said that John Bull's calculations are very accurate. If they follow their script, the diplomatic relations between these nine countries and Bulgaria will not be good in the future.

This is an open conspiracy. If Bulgaria gives up supporting Nicholas II's government now, the Bulgaria-Russia alliance will end immediately; if it continues to support Nicholas II's policy, the final gains will outweigh the gains.

As soon as the final decision of the League of Nations came out, Megev's face darkened. There is no doubt that Bulgaria was overshadowed by John Bull this time.

This also marks the complete end of the honeymoon period between the UK and Bulgaria, and from now on there will only be confrontation.

After receiving this result, Ferdinand did not feel angry, which is inevitable.

With the gradual increase of Bulgaria's comprehensive national strength, sooner or later it will stand on the opposite side of the British Empire, and it is not easy to be able to delay until now.

Moreover, the current Bulgarian alliance is already dispensable for Bulgaria. Even if the covenant is lifted immediately, can the tsarist government get rid of Bulgaria's economic control?

After so many years of operation, Russia has actually long been reduced to Bulgaria's raw material origin and commodity market.

It's just that Ferdinand did a good job on the surface. At first glance, the two sides are fair trade. Under the guise of trade balance, the two sides seem to get what they need.

But industrial products all have added value. The economic value of a meal of raw ore is less than that of a radio, and the difference between them is astonishing.

If some economists take a quick look, they will find that the Russians exported mineral resources into Bulgaria in exchange for levs, and then used levs to buy industrial and commercial products produced in Bulgaria.

In this process, Bulgaria used the added value created by labor and mechanical production equipment in exchange for more than the value of mineral resources.

It's just that the value is a little bit higher, the two sides are in fair trade, and the profit is at most a little bit higher.

The trade deficit between the two sides is also generated in the field of arms, which seems to be really fair.

It's just that in order to fill this deficit, the Russian Empire drained hundreds of tons of gold and took out a few pieces of land. The two sides are still trading fairly.

If you count it carefully, you will find that the Russia-Bulgaria trade is not so beautiful. Under the impact of Bulgaria's industrial and commercial products, does the Russian Empire still have manufacturing?

The so-called capitalists in Russia have now become mine owners. After all, the business of mining is sure to make money without losing money, which is much more stable than opening a factory.

In this round of economic cycles, Bulgaria's industry and commerce have achieved considerable development, and the military industry has also reached the forefront of the world.

Up to now, the economy of many parts of the Russian Empire cannot be separated from Bulgaria.

Once the Bulgarian-Russian trade is cut off, these mines will be closed, and the workers in these mines will lose their jobs.

The industrial products they need in China may be able to find substitutes abroad, but there is no such powerful ore buyer in the world!

No matter how the Russian Empire changes, their manufacturing industry is dead. This is a social reality. It is also a fact that the domestic economy is seriously dependent on Bulgaria!

Moreover, this problem cannot be solved overnight. These vested interests and mine owners can make money lying down, so why let them take risks in investing in the manufacturing industry?

You know, the price of playing manufacturing from scratch is also very expensive.

The quality of the product is not up to standard, and the production cost is higher than the sales price of others. Who can sell such a product?

As long as this problem is not resolved, Bulgaria will remain invincible diplomatically. The military nobles entrusted by Nicholas II are actually a combination of interests with Bulgaria.

Anyone who dares to cut off their money, these bayonets will tell them how to behave. Who made the Russian Civil War last for so long?

A long-term war will inevitably make the military bigger. This is the law of history! Thirteen years of war, the army has long been the foundation of this country.

Even in order to check and balance the army, Nicholas II supported the civil servant group. Unfortunately, the rate of decline of this group exceeded his imagination.

No, it should be said that people have always been like this. After all, the corruption of the tsarist government is also a historical issue. Using the power in their hands, these people quickly became members of the mine owners.

During the struggle for power, they were indeed checking and balancing each other, and completed the tasks of Nicholas II at a super level, but it was different when it came to their own interests.

Well, these problems have not been exposed yet, and perhaps even the top officials of the tsarist government were not aware of this problem, but when formulating policies, they were inclined intentionally or unintentionally.

It is not only West Russia that has been kidnapped by the economy, even the Eastern Russian Empire has not been spared, but the two sides are not tied so deeply.

This is mainly because the development of mineral resources in Central Asia was too small in this era, and the transportation was inconvenient, so the economic impact was not so great.

In contrast, Bulgaria's influence in the remaining countries is very small. After all, economic control is not so easy. The distance is too far and the transportation is inconvenient, which cannot be compensated by manpower.

"Prime Minister, send a congratulatory message to all these independent countries. I think they will accept our kindness!" Ferdinand said calmly

In addition to interests, geographical location affects politics. Otherwise, how can it be called geopolitics?

Except for Finland and the Soviet Union, which are far away in the sky, several other countries are not very far from Bulgaria. Poland and Eastern Russia both directly border Bulgaria. As long as their leaders are not stupid, Bulgaria will not continue to fight!

This is a geographical advantage, otherwise Ferdinand wouldn't mind letting them feel what it means to be too far away from God!

"Your Majesty, it's too early. Apart from the Soviet Union and Eastern Russia, we don't know where other countries are?" Constantine joked.

That's right, these countries are all independent in name, but in fact they have not yet established a country, and even the representatives attending the League of Nations meeting are only sent by one of the insurgents.

To them, establishing an independent country is like a pie falling from the sky.

The government of Nicholas II can't win against Eastern Russia and the Soviet Union, but they still have the strength to suppress their small rebellions. It's just that they are besieged on all sides now, and there is no way to concentrate their efforts on dealing with them.

In order to weaken the strength of the government of Nicholas II, representatives of the Eastern Russian Empire and the Republic of the Soviet Union proposed at the League of Nations meeting that they, the insurgents who resisted the tyranny of the tsar, should establish an independent country. With the full support of Britain and France, it was passed by a high vote. League of Nations vote.
