Bulgarian Empire

On August 18, 1917, the Allied forces surrounded Munich, and on August 20, the Bulgarian and Russian forces surrounded Nuremberg.

The Hindenburg government, with no soldiers available, could only allow the Allied forces to move across southern Germany. However, Dante Christoph did not stop his offensive, and the main force continued to march north.

On August 21, the Hindenburg government forced the High Seas Fleet to fight in order to obtain more favorable conditions for the peace talks. The naval soldiers who could not bear the pressure revolted and occupied the port.

On August 25, the allied forces of the Allied Powers and the Bulgarian-Russian Allied Forces in Nuremberg successfully joined forces. The Germans no longer cared about attacking Paris in times of crisis. While the Hindenburg government mobilized troops from the front line to actively defend, it resumed secret talks with the Allied Powers.

On August 28, the Berlin workers revolted because they were too hungry, and were suppressed by the Hindenburg government.

In September, the mutiny began to spread across the country, and the German government began to lose control of the local area.

On September 6, Munich fell, the Kingdom of Bavaria surrendered, and so far all of South Germany fell.

At this time, the German General Staff was desperate for the war. On September 10, the Hindenburg government was forced to announce the cessation of the war, and the two sides achieved a ceasefire.

That night, Wilhelm II's family fled to the Netherlands for political asylum.

On September 11, in a carriage in Paris, the two sides signed an armistice agreement.

So far, the world war that broke out on March 3, 1915, lasted for two and a half years, finally came to an end, and the history of the world has entered a new chapter.

Foreign Minister Megev said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the world war is over. Just now the Germans have signed an armistice agreement with Britain, France, Russia, and our representatives in Paris."

Hearing this news, Ferdinand's first reaction was not excitement, but a sigh of relief. The terrifying world war was finally over.

At the same time, there is also a sense of pride that he has finally changed the world. The world war that lasted for more than four years in history has been shortened to two and a half years!

Compared with history, the scope of this world war, the population affected, and the number of countries participating in the war are much smaller than in history.

The losses brought to mankind cannot be compared with those in history. The most obvious is that the strength of Britain and France has not been weakened so severely, and the Americans have not trembled.

Thinking about it this way, Ferdinand now looks like he is still an angel of peace? After tossing around, at least millions of people survived because of his butterfly effect!

Seeing that Ferdinand didn't respond for a long time, Megeve reminded: "Your Majesty, it's time to prepare for the aftermath!"

Ferdinand came back to his senses, yes the Germans surrendered, but the matter is not over yet, now it is time to start cutting the cake.

Ferdinand said excitedly: "Call the cabinet over for a meeting immediately, we are going to send a delegation to Paris to cut the cake!"

"Yes!" Megev replied, and as soon as he finished speaking, Megeve ran out.

When Ferdinand saw Megev run away, he really wanted to call him back and inform someone to come to the meeting, and he didn't need the foreign minister to go in person!

However, seeing him so excited, Ferdinand held back again. It seems to have returned to more than 20 years ago. He had just succeeded to the throne and led everyone to win the second Baosai war. Megeve had the same expression at that time.

Since then, as Bulgaria has won more and more, people will still be happy about the victory, but it will not feel like it was then.

Time is ruthless, everyone is old in a flash! This old is relative. In terms of age, the age of the leadership of the Bulgarian government has just reached the average age of leaders of various countries.

The age of 50 or 60 is still in the golden age of politics. The cabinet with an average age of 20 or 30 is abnormal.

...

"The world war is over, now I call you here, mainly because of two things:

1. Immediately set up a negotiating delegation and prepare to go to Paris for negotiations;

2. Dealing with the Allies after the war.

These two issues can also be dealt with as one issue. Let me talk about the candidates for the delegation first. Do you have any suggestions? "

Constantine, who was named, said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, this war has lasted for so long, and the governments of all countries need to use victory to cheer people up. I am afraid that the standard of negotiation is very high. It is very likely that the British will go there in person. So I thought it might be more appropriate for me to go in person.”

Ferdinand knew that the French, as the hosts, did not need to pay attention. The president would definitely go out in person. After being suppressed by the Germans for so long, it was time for them to have a good time, so there was no need to mention it.

No one pays attention to the Russians now, and giving them the treatment of a victorious country is already taking care of their emotions.

Courteous treatment can be given, but in terms of actual benefits, everyone will not be polite. The fragmented Russian Empire has no right to speak, and may receive a small part of the war reparations, which can be regarded as a consolation prize.

Therefore, what really needs to be considered is the British. If the representatives sent out are not equal, then it is easy to be in a weak position in the negotiation. As for re-sending representatives, it is better not to do such a shameful thing.

Ferdinand continued to ask, "What about the other members?"

Constantine thought for a while and said: "There are many aspects involved in this negotiation. It is best to send professionals join."

Ferdinand thought for a while and said: "Well, this matter is settled like this, the prime minister leads the team himself, and all major ministries and commissions send professionals to participate.

Chekhov, prepare yourself. After the war, Germany will definitely be in chaos for a period of time. You should pay attention to see if you can recruit some talents. Not only Germany, but other countries can also do it if it is convenient.

Next, let's discuss how to deal with Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. The main issue is the indemnity of each country. It would be even better if we can get some colonies!

Although the Austro-Hungarian Empire has defected, war reparations are still required, and there is the central plain of the Danube. If the Austro-Hungarian Empire wants to take it back, it must pay a ransom! "

The Minister of Finance took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, for this world war, we spent a total of 40.65 billion levs (approximately 1.626 billion pounds), and the economic losses to our country were as high as 12 billion levs (approx. 4.8 billion pounds).

As a victorious nation, we must pass on this expense to the enemy. I propose to claim 52.5 billion levs (about 2.1 billion pounds) from Italy, 75 billion levs (about 3 billion pounds) from Austria-Hungary, and 7.5 billion levs (about 3 billion pounds) from Germany. People claimed 2.8 billion levs (£1.6 billion), for a total of 167.5 billion levs (about 6.7 billion pounds).

This is to calculate all our post-war expenses, soldier casualty pensions, disarmament expenses, etc., and then erase the odds! "

Ferdinand rubbed his forehead. This is simply talking nonsense with his eyes open. What is war expenditure? The Ministry of Finance directly added all government expenditures from 1915 to the present, and all of them were considered military expenditures.

For the subsequent economic losses, when did Bulgaria suffer such a large economic loss? Why doesn't he know? Could it be that he added the economic loss on the newly occupied land, so it can barely make up enough!

Ferdinand thought for a while and said: "Well, here are all our own people, there is no need to be so cautious, everyone can discuss our bottom line, and you should talk about this number slowly on the negotiating table!"

What a joke, Bulgaria alone demanded a huge compensation of up to 67 pounds, even if it was passed at the peace meeting, they would not be able to afford it!

According to Ferdinand's estimate, if nothing else happens, Bulgaria can get about four or five percent of the compensation paid by the Italians; to more than half.

This is calculated based on the contributions of everyone on the battlefield. Bulgaria’s main achievement is that it defeated Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It basically stepped on the Germans at the end. Britain and France fought so hard, naturally. They took the big head.

And the Austro-Hungarian Empire defected again in the later period, the war indemnity must be greatly discounted, the key is that Bulgaria has already occupied so much land, as long as it is deducted, there will be a fart indemnity!

At most, they just asked for a land ransom, and this part of the money had to be used to repay the French loan. At that time, in order to kill the Germans earlier, the French agreed to let the Austro-Hungarian Empire take over the debt of Bulgaria.

This part is equivalent to no more, and the rest is that the Italians may pay a little more indemnities, but they can't stand the poverty of Italy, and their repayment ability is limited!

As soon as Ferdinand interrupted, the Minister of Finance immediately reacted, and then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, our Ministry of Finance does not have high requirements. As long as the reparations for this war can pay off all our debts, It can pay for our aftermath expenses in the later period."

Ferdinand secretly calculated, now Bulgaria is also heavily in debt, all owed: John Bull 640 million pounds, France 430 million pounds, Americans 210 million pounds, and other countries totaling about 130 million pounds, a total of 1.41 billion pounds .

Such a huge sum of money needs to be repaid by the defeated countries. This is just the Bulgarian family. If you add other members of the Allied Powers, God knows that they will be able to pay it off in a monkey year. It seems that the transfer of debts is the kingly way!

But think about it, in history, the German family alone has to pay 26.9 billion gold marks, (1 gold mark = 0.358 grams of gold), which is equivalent to 96302 tons of gold, or 13.154 billion pounds!

The compensation figure proposed by the Ministry of Finance is nothing, at least there is no problem in passing it at the peace meeting.

Ferdinand thought for a while and said: "Well, our bottom line is that the Austro-Hungarian Empire will pay the debts of the French for us, the Italians will pay us 3 billion levs (about 1.2 billion pounds), and Germany will pay us 2 billion levs (about £1.2 billion). About £800 million)!

We accept colonial debt repayment, and we can also accept other in-kind debt repayment we need!

In addition, I also ask you to transfer our debts as much as possible. For example, we owe the Americans 210 million pounds. If they can accept the Germans to pay for us, they can transfer 300 million pounds of German debt to them!

If a European and American consortium is willing to take over, we can also sell these claims, the reason is that we need to withdraw funds as soon as possible for national construction! "

The chancellor of the exchequer, Kennedy, said in surprise: "Your Majesty, we are at a disadvantage. These consortiums will definitely take advantage of the fire!"

Ferdinand said without doubt: "Then let them take advantage of the fire and loot, don't forget that the repayment ability of Germany and Italy is not unlimited, and it is impossible for them to pay off the huge war reparations in the short term!

Rather than spending decades collecting this compensation, it is better to show part of it in advance and use it to build our country.

From the perspective of investment, our country's economic development will naturally increase fiscal revenue, and it will increase permanently. In fact, we are more cost-effective! "

Well, this is Ferdinand fooling people again. The main reason is that the Germans did not pay off the indemnity until 1983. Can he afford it?

Colonial problems? I'm sorry that Bulgaria doesn't have much demand now. After annexing the Ottoman Empire, the German colonies are already dispensable. Anyway, Britain and France don't like it, and they all belong to Bulgaria in the end.

On this point, Ferdinand is very confident. There is only one Somalia left in the Italian colony, and the German colony is not of much value. Britain and France will not swallow them all. Many places in it will lose money in operation, which is completely a burden!

...

In Paris, France, as soon as the World War ended, the news was spread by politicians, and people fell into crazy celebrations. If Germany launches a sneak attack now, maybe it can really win the battle.

This possibility naturally does not exist. The British and French allied forces are celebrating for the victory of the war, and the Germans on the opposite side are not idle. They are also starting to celebrate, even though they lost!

Now that the war has just ceased, who knows that the future will be so miserable? Getting rid of this cruel war is equivalent to picking up a life from the battlefield. How can we not celebrate?

...

The birth of the wireless telegraph linked the world together. Within a few hours after the end of the world war, this news had already been placed on the desks of the political leaders of various countries. It will appear in street newspapers.

How should we face the new international situation? This is another new problem for politicians. Now not only the participating countries are thinking about how to deal with the Germans, but even neutral countries are very concerned about this issue.

After receiving the news at the White House in Washington, USA, President Wilson hurriedly held a staff meeting to discuss countermeasures.

During the World War, the Americans did not plunder the interests of Britain and France. There were even many radical groups in the country, and they also advocated driving all European forces out of the American continent. Fortunately, their goal was not achieved, otherwise the trouble now would be bigger.

Don't look at the greatness of the United States in later generations, they are still pretending to be grandchildren in this era. Economically, they are number one in the world, but militarily they are still a soft-footed shrimp.

The army doesn't need to think about it, anyway, the tens of thousands of soldiers can be ignored; although the navy is now only second to John Bull in terms of tonnage, its combat effectiveness is far behind, and the gap between the two sides in shipbuilding technology alone is still more than ten years old!

Now that the world war is over, the power of Britain and France will definitely return to the American continent again, and they must bear the brunt as the toubob.
