Bulgarian Empire

144 Chapter 144

"The Austro-Hungarian Empire has rebelled!" Newspapers all over the world have been seized by this news, and many people are wondering whether it is April Fool's Day again!

Originally, after the Allies rejected Italy's job-hopping, everyone thought that the Allies were going to kill the Allies this time. After all, there are conflicts of interest between countries.

Since France and Bulgaria could directly kill Italy because of the conflict of interests in the Mediterranean, couldn't Bulgaria and Russia carve up the Austro-Hungarian Empire because of their interests in the European continent?

Well, the Russians really thought so, but Ferdinand chose to give up! Bulgaria is not yet ready to compete for hegemony in the European continent, and he has never been interested in making wedding dresses for others!

Besides, in order to make Bulgaria give up and carve up the Austro-Hungarian Empire with the Russians, Britain, France and the United States have all worked hard.

That's right, this time the Americans also have a share! From this, it can be seen how much hatred the Russians have, and even the US government, which has nothing to do with this war, has to find ways to block them!

Of course, because they did not participate in this world war, the Americans are not confident enough to face up to their own strength.

Therefore, the Americans who made a lot of money in the World War directly resorted to their best "gold dollar diplomacy", increased Bulgaria's credit line, and lowered the interest rate, and then Ferdinand decisively accepted An olive branch thrown by the Americans.

Even the Japanese in the Far East expressed their attitude through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, very strongly resisting the continued expansion of Mao Xiong!

Of course, the impoverished Japan should not expect any benefits. People just yelled a few words and it was over. Ferdinand didn't care about the friendship of the so-called Great Japanese Empire!

Don’t look at the fact that the Japanese also made money from the war in this world war, but because they were tricked by Ferdinand earlier, they owed a huge amount of foreign debt. After so many years of rolling interest, it has long been an astronomical figure. The Japanese government is still a pauper. !

In order to repay the debt, the Japanese also sent expeditionary forces to Europe during this world war, but they behaved a little shamefully. After the first batch, they were disgusted by Britain and France!

Of course, this "shame" is only because they came at an unlucky time. The fifteen main divisions of the Japanese army happened to catch up with the huge pit of Verdun, and they were finished without a chance to perform!

In fact, the Japanese army still has some combat effectiveness. Although the equipment and tactics are backward, they have a good fighting will and are much stronger than the colonial troops.

The problem is that they asked for too high a price, Britain and France felt that it was not economically worthwhile, and because of Ferdinand's butterfly effect in this time and space, the Allies did not lack troops at all, so naturally they did not ask for a second batch.

Even though the Japanese government has worked hard to extort money, there are still 450 million pounds in foreign debts, but their foreign debts have also increased to 380 million pounds, and it is estimated that after the end of the world war, they will be able to reach a balance .

This is also caused by Japan's special system. Due to the world war, the Japanese made money, but not all of the money went to the Japanese government. Most of it went into the pockets of the consortium. This happened naturally. !

Therefore, compared with the same period in history, the Japanese in this time and space have much less confidence, and they do not have the kind of arrogance that claims to be the third largest power in the world!

(Remarks: After the signing of the Washington Treaty, the Japanese government obtained the third largest naval tonnage in the world after the United Kingdom and the United States, and then they regarded themselves as the third largest power in the world.)

...

With the development and changes of the international situation, the rift between the Bulgaria-Russia League is getting bigger and bigger. Unless Ferdinand wants to challenge the world with the Bulgaria-Russia League, it will be a matter of time before the two sides part ways!

As for the signing of the treaty between Bulgaria and Russia before the war to establish the Slavic Federal Empire, Ferdinand had already thrown it out of the sky.

Even the tsarist government did not bring up this topic again. It seems that everyone is not a fool. How could such an obvious thing not be seen?

Now Bulgaria has hardened its wings,

I don't want to continue to be a younger brother, I'm going to fly solo!

In addition to the growth of Bulgaria's own strength, Britain and France have contributed a lot. If they hadn't deliberately allowed Bulgaria to expand to Asia and Africa, would Ferdinand have dared to quarrel with the Russians so quickly?

Of course, if John Bull chose to suppress Bulgaria from the beginning, the current ending would definitely make them cry into the corner!

Bulgaria, which has no way to expand its colonies, can only follow the Russians to expand on the European continent. It is estimated that the Austro-Hungarian Empire has long been divided by the two countries.

Even after the war, a Slavic empire that included Eastern Europe, Southern Europe, and Central Europe was about to emerge. This behemoth was even more terrifying than the later Soviet Union, and Britain and France, whose vitality was greatly weakened, could not stop it from happening!

There are no ifs in history, and Ferdinand has to admire the diplomatic means of the British. The current situation in Europe is basically still under their control.

Now that the Austro-Hungarian Empire has turned its back, the death knell of the Germans has also sounded, and the world war has entered the countdown stage.

In the future, the pattern on the European continent will become: the Russian Empire, the hegemon of Eastern Europe, France, the hegemon of Western Europe, and Bulgaria, which is entrenched in the Balkan Peninsula. In this three-legged situation, no one wants to dominate the European continent.

In addition, there is also the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which has retained a certain strength. They can not only hinder the expansion of the Russians to southern Europe, but also block the way for Bulgaria to expand to the European continent.

Of course, if the Italians can be stronger and can contain the French, it will be even more perfect!

In the Mediterranean region, although Bulgaria has become bigger, the two major portals are still in the hands of the British, and the strength of the Royal Navy is enough to suppress everything!

At the same time, due to the geographical location, Bulgaria, which has already risen, has to restrict the Russians from expanding their sphere of influence in the Near East for its own benefit. It will be a matter of time before Bulgaria and Russia part ways.

If nothing else, after the war, John Bull would provoke a conflict between Japan and the United States to ease their military pressure in the Americas and the Far East.

You know, you know, but Ferdinand is still not allowed to enter the pit! John Bull used Yangmou this time. How could a rising Bulgaria continue to be a little brother to the Russians?

Even if he wants to endure humiliation, he has no chance! It's not a stupid TV series, countries still rely on their interests to speak, when the strengths of the younger brother and the boss are already very close, can the boss still control it?

Now Bulgaria's mainland in the Balkans includes:

Kingdom of Greece: an area of ​​131,957 square kilometers;

Albania: an area of ​​28,748 square kilometers;

Republic of Macedonia: an area of ​​25,713 square kilometers;

Bulgaria: an area of ​​11o91o square kilometers;

Romania: an area of ​​238,391 square kilometers;

Serbia: an area of ​​88,361 square kilometers;

The Kingdom of Montenegro: an area of ​​14,442 square kilometers;

Bosnia and Herzegovia: an area of ​​51,129 square kilometers;

Part of the territory of Croatia: an area of ​​about 5000 square kilometers;

Dalmatia: an area of ​​13000 square kilometers;

Turkey Europe: an area of ​​23,417 square kilometers;

Bulgaria now has a combined land area of ​​731068 square kilometers. It has directly surpassed the French mainland and has become the second largest country in Europe.

Moreover, this world war brought more than just territorial expansion to Bulgaria. The total industrial volume also increased by 15%, and the total economic volume increased by 30%!

After the end of the World War, it is inevitable that Bulgaria's population will exceed 40 million. It is worth mentioning that most of the population growth here is due to Mao Xiong's selfless dedication!

Moreover, this population base is already anti-French, and even with the population growth rate of Bulgaria, it will not be long before the British will surpass the British, and they will be the top powers!

At the same time, in terms of colonies, Bulgaria will further increase after the war. The good places are gone, but Britain and France will not be stingy about the bad land with little strategic or economic value!

If nothing else, the total area of ​​Bulgaria's colonies after the war would exceed 5 million square kilometers, and there would be no problem at all. Of course, there may be more than 4 million square kilometers of land in the desert!

However, Ferdinand didn’t dislike it either. Regardless of whether it’s valuable or not, it’s a sparsely populated place anyway, and it doesn’t take much administrative money to govern these places!

Even some places only need to obtain sovereignty, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to set up a colonial government. The nomads should let them self-govern.

The center of gravity of Bulgaria in the next twenty years will still be in the Balkan Peninsula and the Asia Minor Peninsula. As long as these two peninsulas are opened, Bulgaria will be invincible!

To a certain extent, after the end of this world war, Bulgaria is equivalent to being "zhao'an" by Britain and France. From the camp of challengers of order in the emerging empire to the camp of defenders of order in the old empire!

Isn't the third largest colonial country in the world maintaining the backbone of the colonial empire? From this point of view, from now on, the three countries of Britain, France and Baoding have already stood in the same camp!
