Bulgarian Empire

The history of the Balkans has been completely changed because of Ferdinand's chaos, but the trajectory of world history is still moving along the original track!

In order to persuade the Germans to give up supporting the Boers and be neutral in the Anglo-Bulgarian War. On May 28, 1898, the British and Germany signed a proposal for the partition of Portuguese African colonies between the two countries. This time is more than 5 months earlier than in history.

The treaty stipulates that when Portugal is in financial crisis, Britain and Germany will jointly provide loans, and the Portuguese African colony is the pledge.

Southern Mozambique and central Angola are owned by the British; northern Mozambique and southern Angola, and East Timor in the Pacific Ocean are owned by the Germans.

Well, now that the Portuguese government is in financial crisis, the loan shark empire has begun to lend, and even part of it has already been granted.

But he was confident that William II believed that as long as Britain and Germany joined forces, the French would surely succumb!

Obviously the Germans miscalculated, and the British were just empty gloves. Immediately after the agreement was signed, the British took the proposal and found the Portuguese government. Under some coercion and temptation, the British successfully turned the Portuguese government back.

On June 7, 1898, Britain and Portugal signed the "Windsor Treaty". The content was similar to that in history, except that the time was 16 months earlier than the parallel time and space.

The treaty stipulates: 1. The British have the obligation to protect all Portuguese colonies; 2. The Portuguese government cancels its neutral position in the Anglo-Bosnia War, allowing the British to use Portuguese ports in Mozambique, and the Portuguese government cuts off access to Portuguese colonies The material transportation line of the Boer Republic!

While forcing the Portuguese to compromise, the British once again found the French government with this agreement.

John Bull took advantage of the contradiction between France and Germany, and the French did not want Germany to continue to expand its strength. He succeeded in persuading the French government to remain neutral in the Anglo-Boer war and give up support for the Boers.

Of course, this also involves the British making substantive concessions to the French on certain issues in North Africa, and ensuring that the French's interests in Portugal are not affected!

There is no doubt that the Germans were fooled by John Bull this time!

One of William II’s carelessly signed a draft agreement, which was used by the British and successfully broke the European Union’s boycott of Britain!

The Germans became the victims of the British diplomatic game. However, the German government was powerless to deal with the British treachery.

When the French withdrew from this operation against the British, the Russians also withdrew from this operation. This is the tacit understanding brought by the "French-Russian Alliance"!

Previously, the French supported the Russians on the Near East issue, but now the Russians naturally have to reciprocate!

Bulgaria, of course, also withdrew from the operation. Ferdinand had no guts to provoke the British Hu Xu, and then Belgium, Denmark and other countries also withdrew from the operation.

Knowing that William II was pitted, he could only yell in his mouth now. After all, at sea, the three alliances of Germany, Austria, and Italy are not an opponent of the British.

Without the support of European countries, the Boers once again embarked on the old path of history. Of course, it is still not clear that the previous wave of support from various countries, the Boers now have more than tens of thousands of mercenaries with powerful combat capabilities than in parallel time and space, which will still be pressing the British lobster soldiers.

Even if the British have blocked the port, there are always bold capitalists smuggling supplies to the Boer Republic.

As for whether there are shadows of other forces in it? Ferdinand can say with certainty, of course! Germans, French, and Dutch are indispensable. If Bulgaria is not too far away, Ferdinand would like to participate!

Anyway, these small actions are not allowed on the stage, even if they are spotted by the British, they can still be used by the Russians!

The British-Berg war, now Ferdinand can no longer care. Anyway, there is no end in two or three years without exhausting the materials reserved by the Boers!

Ferdinand even suspected that if the European Big 6 could continuously give blood to the Boer Republic, it might be another war of independence.

In this war, the appearance of the lobster soldiers was embarrassing. However, there is no harm if there is no comparison. The performance of the US Sixth Army in Cuba shocked Ferdinand even more. He can only lament that this is a bad age!

Of course, the Spanish Sixth Army is not much better. Even the Cuban Revolutionary Army can't handle it. Even so, they can still suppress the American army.

However, the fighting scale of the Sixth Army in the Cuban War was not large. Seeing that the Spaniards were not easy to deal with, the Americans directly fudged the Cuban Revolutionary Army to charge into battle. As a result, the Spaniards were over and the main force of the Cuban Rebel Army was almost consumed.

After the Americans wiped out the Cuban fleet in Spain, the 24,000 Spanish troops surrounded by the Cuban rebels on July 1o surrendered to the US forces.

The Spanish-American War was called by Lenin one of the signs of the advent of imperialism, and it was not without reason. (There are also the British-Borussian War and the Russo-Japanese War, which are also signs of the imperialist era)

At this surrender ceremony, the Cuban insurgents were excluded. Of course this is a small section. If you feel wronged, the Cuban insurgents can still bear it!

On December 1o of the same year, the United States and Spain signed the "Paris Treaty". The treaty stipulates: The Kingdom of Spain renounces all rights and interests in Cuba, Cuba gains independence, and the island of Cuba will be occupied by the US military; the United States invested US$200,000 to purchase the Philippine Islands...

When the U.S. forces occupied Cuba, the Americans immediately turned their faces, and first forcibly disbanded the Cuban insurgents. After the Americans conspired to disband the Cuban Rebel Army, the US imperialists raised their butcher knife to the Cuban Rebel Army's senior leaders, and the Cuban independence movement failed.

Then he ordered the pro-American elements to form a Cuban puppet government, and then signed an extremely demanding treaty with the United States.

The Cubans had just gained independence from the Kingdom of Spain and immediately became an American colony. The United States has so blatantly imposing unequal treaties on its neighbors, which is rare in modern diplomatic history.

When the Spanish-American War broke out, the Germans were not idle. Prior to this, the German government had negotiated with the Kingdom of Spain to purchase the Philippine Islands and other Pacific Islands.

When the Spanish-American War broke out, the three navies of Britain, Germany, and Japan were in Manila Bay. The Germans, unwilling to lose the Philippine Islands, were preparing to intervene. At this time, the five German warships in Manila were stronger than the American fleet, but with the arrival of the Japanese and British fleets, the Germans did not dare to act rashly.

Ferdinand guessed that later generations of Japanese would definitely regret their deaths. They had known that the Germans had plans to do something. They would not go to Manila Bay if they were killed, and they even had to find a way to help transfer the British!

But history has no ifs. The Japanese personally let the Americans in!

Otherwise, if the Germans were to acquire the Philippine Islands, the Japanese would have acquired the Philippine Islands in World War I, and they would have mastered their gateway to the Pacific, and there would be no risk of attacking Pearl Harbor in World War II. The world's structure might be born. change!

Of course, the German government did not give it in vain. They still spent five million U.S. dollars to purchase part of the western Pacific islands, which was regarded as the appearance fee for this operation.

The impact of the Spanish-American War was far-reaching, and the direct result was that the US government directly annexed the Kingdom of Hawaii after the war. As for the original natives, later generations have disappeared in the long river of history!

Immediately afterwards, the US government played the banner of "open door" and joined the plunder of China. ……(Ten thousand words are omitted here)

Far away in Sofia, Ferdinand really watched a good show. The wonderful game between the great powers made Ferdinand refreshing. In contrast, the battles in the Balkans can only be pediatrics.

Of course, Ferdinand was not idle, and was unable to add obstacles to the Americans, which does not mean that he could not add obstacles to his neighbors either!

It is the Austro-Hungarian Empire that bears the brunt. Being a neighbor with the great powers is also a challenging job, even if this great power is very imaginary!

Since the Austro-Hungarian Empire sent troops to Serbia, the Bulgarian military has had to cheer up and stare at the border between Serbia and Serbia.

No way, now the international situation is changing so fast, who knows if the Austro-Hungarian Empire will be crazy to Bulgaria.

However, the performance of the Austro-Hungarian army quickly relieved Ferdinand. Now the Austro-Hungarian Empire has more than 200,000 troops in Serbia, but facing the Serbian Revolutionary Army, they can only defend the northern plains and some major cities!

For the mountainous areas in southern Serbia, they have attacked many times, but in the end they lost their troops and returned without success.

It can't be said that it was completely unprofitable. They still killed a lot of the Serbian Revolutionary Army. After all, Serbia is so big, and the Revolutionary Army can't avoid it if it wants to hide!

Of course, the fighting power of the Serbian Revolutionary Army is also based on the selfless dedication of the Kingdom of Montenegro, and a large part of it is paid for by Ferdinand!

Of course, Bulgaria is working behind the scenes, and it is the Russians who are being beaten. Ferdinand dare not come out to be a hero!

Every time Nicholas I asked Bulgaria for support, Ferdinand asked him to persuade the Russians first, and then wait for a telegram from St. Petersburg. This telegram was a weapon that Ferdinand used to deal with the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

Ferdinand also repeatedly complained to his uncle in Vienna, urging them to quickly fix the Serbs, UU reading www.uukanshu.com or fix the Russians, don't make it difficult for him!

Well, the contradiction between Israel and Serbia is enough to convince him that he is unwilling to support the Serbian Revolutionary Army. It was done by Russia and the Kingdom of Montenegro, and Bulgaria was only responsible for soy sauce. Even so, the pressure on him from the Vienna government is increasing!

At this time, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is also a bit hard to get off the ground, they also want face. Now the newspapers in Austria-Hungary are all scolding Serbia for ungratefulness and want to teach them a lesson.

If they retreat now, where will their faces rest? If this retreats, do they still have a foothold in the world? At least, the interests of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the Balkans will be devastated!

The Minister of Foreign Affairs Metjev hurried over and said: "Your Majesty, just now the Minister of Austria-Hungary has sent an invitation letter, inviting us to send troops to Serbia!"

"What? Inviting us to send troops to Serbia, the Vienna government is overwhelmed?" Ferdinand asked in disbelief

Metjev smiled bitterly and said: "Yes! This news is indeed shocking, but the invitation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is indeed true!"

Ferdinand calmed down. After a moment of thought, he said fiercely: "No! The Ministry of Foreign Affairs politely rejected the Vienna government, telling them that we are not interested in Serbia!"

What are you not interested in? Ferdinand is self-aware that the most important thing for Bulgaria now is to digest the fruits of the war, not to go to Serbia to grab territory!

The Austro-Hungarian Empire lured Bulgaria to send troops, mainly because they suspected that the southern mountainous area of ​​Serbia was troublesome to govern, and the revolutionary army is still entrenched.

It is probably because of the idea of ​​losing the burden, otherwise you really think that the Austro-Hungarian Empire is ruthless, and you can't fix a **** Serbia?
