Bulgarian Empire

After arranging domestic affairs, the Constantine delegation went to Paris on the Constantinople. This is the second time that Constantine participated in an international conference. The last time was the London Peace Conference. The difference from the last time is that now Bulgaria has also become a chess player!

The Paris peace conference has not yet started. Everyone knows that the leader of this time must be the Triple Entente between Britain and France. As for the Russians, let’s wait until they finish the civil war. Now they are in charge of making soy sauce!

In fact, Ferdinand also wanted to join in the fun, but after seeing the representatives of various countries, he decisively chose to give up. The other countries were all government officials sent by him. It was embarrassing for him to be a king in the past!

Why can't he go and argue with French President Poincaré and British Prime Minister Lloyd George himself? If you go there and just sit there as a spectator and watch them quarrel without saying a word, wouldn't that be asking for guilt?

The international status is built, and strength can win respect. Don’t look at the fact that there are more than 20 countries participating in this peace conference. It is said that the Americans, who are unwilling to be lonely, also sent representatives to participate this time, but they really have the right to speak The only ones are the three giants of the Allied Powers.

The most prominent manifestation is that as soon as the world war ended, Bulgaria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs became lively. Many countries that participated in the world war came to the door and wanted Bulgaria to support them in the peace conference.

This is mainly due to the late rise of Bulgaria. Except for the Mediterranean coast, its influence in other parts of the world is still very limited. If it were not for this world war, it is estimated that many countries would not know that Bulgaria is already a first-class power.

Due to the lack of communication with each other, we are naturally not enemies, or friends! It is precisely because of this that it is necessary to contact!

...

Time flies by, and it has entered October in a flash, and the Paris peace conference is about to start. Due to Ferdinand's butterfly effect, the number of American countries participating in the world war this time is much smaller, so the number of people participating in the peace conference is also reduced. Reduced some.

A total of 786 representatives from various countries participated in the conference, including 58 plenipotentiaries, and 5,826 informal representatives, relevant experts and various staff members. It was an unprecedented meeting at that time.

The only people worthy of Constantine's attention were French President Poincaré, British Prime Minister Lloyd George, and American President Wilson.

That's right, Americans who were unwilling to be lonely also came this time, and the president came in person. Of course, the size of the American delegation is not as large as in history, after all, they are not participating countries.

However, as the creditors of the Allied Powers, everyone still needs to show some face. Of course, this does not include the British. Since the World War lasted only two and a half years, John Bull’s family fortune can still be taken care of, and there is no need to borrow from the Americans. money!

The three that really owe them money are Bulgaria, France, and the Russian Empire, among which the Russians owe the most.

If it weren't for the sudden outbreak of the Russian Civil War, American capital should have penetrated into Mao Xiong's heart by now, and it might even replace French capital as the largest investor in Russia.

Money is the capital for the Americans to participate in this meeting. Through debts, they can already affect the two countries of Bulgaria and France!

Constantine was discussing the upcoming peace conference with Megeve when an attendant walked in and said, "Your Excellency, President Wilson is here!"

Constantine frowned, obviously he didn't have a good impression of this unexpected guest. This is not a prejudice. Politicians all over Europe in this era do not have a good impression of Americans!

He and Megeve looked at each other, and both could see the displeasure in each other's eyes. Obviously, they didn't like Americans. If you don't like it, you don't like it, but he will not be negligent in terms of etiquette.

"Please!" Constantine said

...

Although Wilson's sudden visit was not welcome in their hearts, the two received him in a personable manner. On the surface, the three seemed to be good friends for many years.

Wilson said happily: "The two world wars are over, but the post-war international order still needs to be rebuilt.

The old world has fallen, and the new world order still needs to be rebuilt.

Both the United States and Bulgaria are emerging powers. In the establishment of a new world order, it is necessary for us to increase our voice!

I propose that we jointly establish an international alliance, invite all independent countries in the world to participate, and use this platform to negotiate and deal with each other's conflicts to maintain world peace! "

Constantine thought that it really came, the Americans planned to transform the world according to their plan, but does this have anything to do with Bulgaria?

It is easy to establish this alliance, but it is not so simple to grasp the right to speak in this alliance. Bulgaria is not yet a world power, and the right to speak on this platform is very limited.

In addition to the Mediterranean coast, there are several countries in other regions who will buy Bulgaria's account. If the problem is resolved by voting, it is estimated that it should not be compared with Britain and France, and maybe even Spain!

I guess this is why the Americans came to the door. As long as everyone establishes an alliance together, the Americans can influence the world through the gold dollar. Although Bulgaria has strength, its influence in the world is not enough to compete with them. The right to speak!

After thinking about all this clearly, Constantine has no interest in Wilson's proposal at all. Why should Bulgaria stand out without enough interests?

This is new forces challenging the old order again. Once they stand on the wrong team, Bulgaria will face the suppression of Britain and France!

Constantine's face suddenly darkened, and he said coldly: "Mr. Wilson, it is easy to establish an international alliance, but it is not easy to really play a role!

I think that without the support of Britain and France, even if we established this alliance, it would be an empty shell. After all, their influence is much greater than ours! "

Wilson said confidently: "Mr. Constantine, you have to have confidence in us, as long as we unite, we will be able to change the world.

Establishing an international alliance to mediate conflicts between countries is a good thing for most weak and small countries, and they have no reason not to support us! "

Constantine still shook his head and said: "I am deeply impressed by your proposal. If the League of Nations can be established, Bulgaria will naturally join, but we have no intention of establishing such an alliance. After all, we are still a member of the Allied Powers!"

Seeing that Constantine had made up his mind, Wilson knew that it was useless to say anything, so he ended the topic. Anyway, his initial goal had been achieved, at least Bulgaria would not oppose their actions.

...

After seeing off Wilson, Constantine asked, "What do you think, is the purpose of the Americans really that simple?"

Megeve thought for a while and said: "On the surface, the Americans just want to establish an international alliance to increase their voice in the world, but in fact they are probably trying to win over allies and prepare to counter the next attack from Britain and France!

The Americans have been too active in the past two years. The French forces were almost expelled from the Americas by them, and the British forces were also greatly affected. After the war, they will definitely not let it go!

Now the Americans are pulling us into the game, just to help them share the pressure, and their intentions are very vicious! "

Constantine nodded. It was precisely because he had guessed the plan of the Americans that he rejected Wilson without letting him state the conditions at all.

After all, Bulgaria's strategy has been determined. The main purpose of the next 20 years is to farm. If it is to bully a small country, it is fine, but to provoke Britain and France is fine!

Once it is done, Britain and France will probably have to deal with the inside and then secure the outside. It is definitely impossible to block the knife for the Americans. Even if they offer a sky-high price, Constantine will not be able to risk the future of Bulgaria!

Constantine sneered and said, "Upstarts are upstarts. Britain and France are still powerless. They are so impatient and want to dominate the world. They probably haven't woken up!"

Well, he despises the Americans as riches, so why not Bulgaria? Even if there is a historical background, it is a matter of hundreds of years. You can't regard the Ottoman Empire as part of Bulgarian civilization, right?

Although they have replaced the Ottoman Empire, they still can't do things to absorb the Ottoman civilization! The main reason is that Ferdinand couldn't afford to lose that man. Bulgaria's inheritance is short, but his own family is old enough, so there is no need to misidentify the ancestors!

But neither of them found it strange that it has become a habit in European countries to reject Americans, or it is due to dislike + jealousy, the latter factor may be more important!

Megev's face showed a look of hatred for iron and steel, and he said: "The Americans are also considered weird. With their comprehensive industrial strength, even compared with the Germans, they are not inferior.

The Germans all have the courage to fight against our Four-Nation Entente alone, so it is an honor to lose! And the Americans are extremely afraid of Britain and France, which have been seriously injured. Don't they know how to make money all over their heads? "

When he said this, there was a strong sour taste. Obviously, he was also jealous of the strong industrial strength of the Americans. Fortunately, although the total industrial output of the Americans is large, they still lag behind Europe in terms of high technology. Otherwise, They are not just hot-eyed!

...

Since Wilson wants to establish an international alliance, it is naturally impossible to only win over Bulgaria, and all the countries participating in the meeting are their targets.

But everyone is not a fool. They also know that Britain and France still have the final say in this world, and there are no Americans at all in this peace conference.

It's okay to attend meetings, but that's just a matter of soy sauce. As soon as the formal meeting starts, Wilson will find out that he is not even qualified to enter the meeting room!

Wilson, who returned without success, is now considering whether to make a big news, which is what Americans have thrown out in history: the "fourteen points" world hegemony program based on the establishment of an international alliance and the maintenance of freedom of navigation on the high seas.

However, the current international environment is different. The status of the Americans is not as high as in history, let alone the strength in history. Once this proposal is made, it will definitely be hostile to the major powers, and he dare not make up his mind for a while!

Especially "national self-determination", this article undoubtedly killed the colonial empire, it is simply an endless rhythm!

Although it is possible to gain the favor of some countries, but the favor cannot be eaten as food, no matter how good they are, they dare not stand up to support them!

The current Americans are not the United States after World War II. In terms of economic size, they have just surpassed the Commonwealth of Nations, but compared with the European continent, they are still far behind. Even the broken Europe is not They are comparable to a country!

This made Wilson not worry. Once this step was taken, the enemy would not only be Britain and France, but also small colonial countries such as the Netherlands, Belgium, and Portugal, and of course Bulgaria would be indispensable!
