Bulgarian Empire

Vol 4 Chapter 38: , Post-war impact

One wave has not settled, another wave rises! &1t;/p>

The just-concluded 19o9 year was a turbulent year, and the international situation has undergone earth-shaking changes! &1t;/p>

The "Kavala Shelling Incident" was born at the beginning of the year, and then Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire broke out in the Near East War, and then under the intervention of the Germans, the Anti-Province Alliance was established, and the second Balkan War broke out! &1t;/p>

The Ottoman Empire had a coup, the Turkish Al-Shabaab was on the stage of history, the Anti-Province League was defeated, and the international situation in the Near East has undergone earth-shaking changes. &1t;/p>

Relations between Bulgaria and the Germans deteriorated rapidly, and at the same time, the contradictions between the Allied Powers and the Allied Powers intensified. Affected by the Second Balkan War, the protagonists of Russia and France began to rise, laying the ground for the explosion of World War I. Hidden danger! &1t;/p>

The strategic layout of the British in the European Big VI was initially completed. After the end of the second Balkan War, the negotiations between Britain and Germany on limiting the naval arms race ended! &1t;/p>

The possibility of an alliance between Britain and Germany that the Germans were looking forward to was completely shattered. Britain and Germany officially became confrontational, and the naval arms race escalated! &1t;/p>

In the same year, Britain and the Kingdom of Siam were signed, and the British completed their expansion in the Malay Peninsula. &1t;/p>

Oh, and the former Japanese minister Ito Hirobumi was assassinated in North Korea. From then on, the Japanese government began to embark on a road of no return. By the way, the Japanese 6th Army launched another coup, but it was temporarily suppressed by the Japanese government! &1t;/p>

In the ancient eastern country, the constitutional reform failed, the countdown to the Manchu and Qing dynasties, internal conflicts intensified, and the death of Zhang Zhidong, the last banner of the Westernization Movement in the same year, declared the end of an era. &1t;/p>

……&Amp;1t;/p>

The international situation affects the whole body. Ferdinand's butterfly effect has an increasing impact on the world, and history has become unrecognizable. &1t;/p>

In the Palace of Sofia, Ferdinand was teaching his sons the emperor's academics, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Metjev hurried in. &1t;/p>

"Your Majesty, something has happened!"&1t;/p>

Ferdinand looked at Medev's nervousness, he was taken aback for a moment, then he reacted quickly, and asked in confusion: "What happened?"&1t;/p>

Metzhev tried his best to calm his mood and suppressed his emotions as much as possible. He said: "Your Majesty, the news from the Berlin Embassy has just arrived. The German Foreign Minister announced at today's press conference that Romania, the Ottoman Empire, and the Kingdom of Montenegro have officially joined. With the Allies, the situation in Europe will change drastically!"&1t;/p>

Ferdinand's face changed drastically. Although he had expected it, he still didn't expect it to be born so soon! &1t;/p>

Oh, this is also Ferdinand's butterfly effect. How can the Germans not make promises if they want to win over the Kingdom of Montenegro and Romania to form an anti-protection alliance? &1t;/p>

If there is no endorsement from the allies, even if the two countries are dissatisfied with Bulgaria, they would not have come out! &1t;/p>

Now is the time for the Germans to fulfill their promises. After the Second Balkan War, both the Kingdom of Montenegro and Romania are facing severe military pressure, and the Germans are in urgent need of a platform! &1t;/p>

The Turkish Al-Shabaab Party, which has just been in power in the Ottoman Empire, also needs to hand in a satisfactory answer sheet. &1t;/p>

In this context, wouldn’t it be chilling if the Germans would not allow these three brothers to join the Allies? &1t;/p>

You must know that at this time the World War has not yet occurred, as a powerful family, you still have to face, even if you form an alliance, you must look at strength! &1t;/p>

Otherwise, if everyone puts aside their faces and directly pulls out the little brother, it will not be the "Three Nations Alliance" and the "Four Nations Agreement" now. &1t;/p>

If the Allied powers start to pull in the younger brothers to join, then the Allied powers must also follow up. Then the six major European countries will be forced to stand in line, so the scale of the world war is likely to be further expanded! &1t;/p>

This is why Ferdinand is not worried. Bulgaria is now surrounded by allies. If the scale of the world war is further expanded, who can guarantee that the Allies will win? &1t;/p>

In the history of Parallel Time, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and other countries have all chosen neutrality, and now Ferdinand is not sure what choice they will make. &1t;/p>

But one thing is certain, the choices of these countries will have a very significant impact on the international situation, and even the trend of the world war! &1t;/p>

After thinking for a while, Ferdinand said: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs communicates with the other three countries as soon as possible to figure out what plans they have, so we can react accordingly!"&1t;/p>

In any case, the geographical location of Bulgaria determines that they can only be a skewed couple, and their influence on the European Big 6 is destined to be incomparable with other European powers! &1t;/p>

To be honest, Ferdinand does not want too many countries to join the Allies. This will diminish Bulgaria’s right to speak in the alliance, and more importantly, it will affect the distribution of interests after the war. &1t;/p>

After all, the trophies are limited. With more people participating, everyone gets less things. This is inevitable! &1t;/p>

If the direction of the world war does not change drastically, after World War I, Bulgaria has a high probability of becoming one of the giants at the Paris Peace Conference, and it will have enough voice in the distribution of interests after the war! &1t;/p>

This is completely different from Italy and the United States, which are excluded from parallel time and space! &1t;/p>

In the eyes of Britain and France, the Italians belong to the second and fifth generation, not their own, and their status is always lower than that of their allies. Their right to speak is inherently low; coupled with their poor performance in the world war, they really cannot win everyone. Respect! &1t;/p>

The Americans were late to join. The more important thing is that Britain and France have seen the strong national power of the Americans and fear that the Americans will come out to grab their world hegemony. &1t;/p>

This point exposed the strategic goals of the United States after World War I after Wilson put forward the "fourteen point principle." &1t;/p>

That is: Americans hope to expand their sphere of influence around the world by virtue of their strong economic power, under the guise of national self-determination and disarmament, in exchange for the support of world public opinion, weaken rivals such as Britain and France, and then establish international alliances to intervene in politics. To control the post-war world situation and participate in the strategy of dividing up the colony of the world. &1t;/p>

Then the contradiction between the two sides could no longer be eased. Britain and France could not tolerate this kind of behavior of the United States to seize power. They immediately put aside the contradiction between the two sides and jointly expelled the Americans! &1t;/p>

In this regard, Bulgaria and Britain and France have common interests! Ferdinand also wanted to incorporate the colony into the homeland? How could it be possible for the colonial system to collapse so early? &1t;/p>

The joint suppression of the United States after the war and the lock-in of the new Soviet Union are the interests of the continued alliance between the three countries! &1t;/p>

Oh, the prerequisite is that the situation in the European Big 6 will not change significantly. Britain and France were hit hard by the Germans, and it was difficult to keep the world's hegemony; but they could not be beaten half-handed like in World War II and directly give up world hegemony! &1t;/p>

Under this background, they will need Bulgaria as an ally! In the distribution of benefits after the war, Bulgaria will get a share! &1t;/p>

Therefore, for Ferdinand, it is now that the fewer variables, the better. The expansion of the world war is not in Bulgaria’s interest. &1t;/p>

……&Amp;1t;/p>

Facts have proved that if you want to play diplomacy, British talent is the king of this era! When Ferdinand was worried that the scope of the future world war would expand, the London government had come up with a practical plan! &1t;/p>

There are many countries that tend to be Germans in the European Big Six. If the two sides swayed their carts and directly forced the countries to stand in line, the Allies would most likely fall into a disadvantage. &1t;/p>

No way, although the strength of the Allied Powers is strong, the ability to pull hatred is directly proportional to their strength! &1t;/p>

At this point, there is no way. The old empires occupy a lot of interests, and naturally they are accompanied by a lot of enemies. Interests are the source of contradictions! &1t;/p>

But it doesn't matter, there is a third option-neutral! &1t;/p>

After all, in this era, the influence of Britain and France is unparalleled. Among European countries, some tend to favor the Allies, and naturally some tend to favor the Allies. Now it is clear that the strength of the Allies is still dominant. &1t;/p>

In this context, under the operation of John Bull, the time for each country to stand in line has been greatly delayed. &1t;/p>

Now that the Entente countries are constrained, the Germans can only lure other countries in. As for threats? Was William II worried that people would directly join the Allied countries? &1t;/p>

Oh, maybe the Germans are aware of this, or the German government is also confused. In short, after pulling Montenegro, Romania and the Ottoman Empire on board, they also temporarily stopped their operations. &1t;/p>

Seeing this, Ferdinand breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, Euro 6 has finally recovered its calm temporarily! &1t;/p>

As for how long this calm can be maintained, Ferdinand has no expectations at all. Anyway, the international situation in the next few years is doomed to change. &1t;/p>
