Bulgarian Empire

A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? This winter, the people all over the world are satisfied. The election of kings in the six European countries is not a joke. Let them watch the excitement.

For example, the people of Belarus marched and demonstrated that they did not want independence, and even more did not want Grand Duke Mikhail to be king.

People held high the banner of anti-separatism, making the League of Nations representatives embarrassed and fled.

Nicholas II was satisfied, but there were still subjects loyal to him, and not everyone rebelled.

Of course, if he knew the reason for Belarus' opposition to the succession of Grand Duke Mikhail, he would not think so again.

Nicholas II has been hailed by the Russians as one of the worst tsars in history, Grand Duke Mikhail, who is even worse than him.

Well, the sequelae of the discredited reputation came out. What the people want now is a safe king. A king who is rebellious and tossing like him is naturally unpopular.

The Poles next door are also not at peace. They want to establish the Great Poland Kingdom and secretly plan the independence of Austrian Poland. They did not expect to leak their secrets at this moment.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire arrested them and sent the evidence directly to the League of Nations, demanding that the League of Nations punish the Poles for their illegal actions, and they are still arguing.

Regardless of the final judgment, the newly established Kingdom of Poland was embarrassed and the joy of independence was diminished a lot.

The three Baltic countries are not bad, because there are few people, there are few contradictions, and finally there is no big joke.

The government of the Grand Duchy of Finland is incapable and unable to maintain local law and order. The people are suffering from bandits and are eagerly looking forward to the succession of the Grand Duke to revitalize the court.

Ferdinand has a headache in the new situation in Europe. In this wave of monarchy revival, his unlucky nephew Manuel II finally plans to restore.

This is exactly where Ferdinand's headache is. Manuel II is his cousin, and the relationship is very close. If you push up, his grandfather and Ferdinand's father are brothers.

This stupid nephew has been hanging around in London, waiting for a chance to restore. It is a pity that George V's political means were not enough, and he could not control the cabinet like Edward VII.

No support from the British Empire. His restoration dream was really a dream. I don't know if his head suddenly opened up, or what was going on, he actually asked Ferdinand for help.

It is true that Ferdinand has the power to help him restore, but this kind of political power cannot be used casually. With his prestige, it is not a big problem to use it two or three times.

The most important thing is that Ferdinand is not sure of success. Now in the world situation, whether it is Britain or France, as long as one side opposes, Bulgaria will not be able to make Manuel II's restoration succeed.

This is not what Ferdinand is most worried about. Instead, what he is most worried about is the personal ability of Manuel II, whether he has the ability to control a country.

We must know that the power of the family is not unlimited, and the alliance of interests established with the family as the bond also needs to be reciprocated.

This is equivalent to investing, but what the Gotha family invests in is the throne, including Ferdinand becoming the king of Bulgaria. It is a successful investment by the Gotha family, and everyone has naturally benefited a lot.

It also included pushing Boris to the position of the Grand Duke of Finland, which was also an investment, but this time the investor was Ferdinand, who did not use much power of the Gotha family.

Now that Manuel II is to be restored, Ferdinand’s power is definitely not enough, and a series of international relations need to be coordinated. These all require resources, and behind-the-scenes transactions are indispensable.

Ferdinand can use Bulgarian power, and other branch members naturally have their own political power. It is only a matter of size.

There is no benefit, and it is unrealistic to want everyone to contribute in vain. After all, this precious resource has a price every time it is used.

As one of the most powerful families in Europe, there is naturally a way to settle down. Manuel II's poor performance has long been abandoned by the family.

Otherwise, Ferdinand would help him restore as soon as the world war ended, and the chances then were better than now.

Of course, it is not without the opportunity now. Portugal was also a signatory to "The Crown Power". Legally speaking, Bulgaria is qualified to send troops to intervene.

In addition, after the Portuguese Revolution, the domestic situation has not been very problematic, and the power of the Baowang faction is still not small.

This is where Ferdinand was due. When Manuel II was overthrown, the power of the kingly faction still had the advantage. If he could be decisive, he could easily suppress the rebellion.

Unfortunately, his attitude was wavering at the time, and the situation finally got out of control.

Just as the previous generation of kings and crown princes were assassinated by state and party members, he could use this as an opportunity to purge the Republican Party. As a result, because of his indecisive character, he wasted an opportunity to suppress political opponents!

"Little Ferdinand, your cousin wants to restore, what do you think?" Ferdinand asked

"Father, this is not something to pay attention to. You know that my cousin's character defect is too fatal. What if we spend a big price and push him to the throne, and he compromises with the Republicans?

We must know that he has been fooled by Republicans many times, and even the deaths of his brother and father have not been investigated. I don't think he has the ability to control Portugal! "Little Ferdinand objected.

"You look down on him?" Ferdinand asked suspiciously

"Yes, he is a coward! Father, don't look at him having the courage now, I'm afraid he will be back to the original point in a short time.

Otherwise, why would you wait until now to ask us for help? Why did he miss so many opportunities?

You must know that when the situation was at its best, the royalist party controlled half of Portugal. As a result, this idiot actually believed in the Republican Party and wanted to return to the throne without blood.

As a result, the strength accumulated by the Portuguese royal family through the ages has been defeated bit by bit. Do you think he can succeed? "Little Ferdinand said bluntly

Ferdinand nodded, history was completely changed by him, and the Portuguese Revolution also changed. Since the two royal houses of Britain and Bulgaria once gave Manuel II a stand, the power of the royal party increased greatly. They believed that as long as the two countries intervened, they could win.

But Manuel II refused to ask for help from the two countries. He opposed all foreign forces interfering in Portugal's internal affairs.

I naively thought that all the questions could be resolved through negotiation and opposed the use of violence to suppress the revolution.

If such an idealist runs out to play politics, it is only strange that he is not ousted!

In the face of this soft-eyed nephew, Ferdinand was unable to do anything. When he was overthrown in 1910 in history, he opposed seeking foreign forces to interfere in Portugal's internal affairs, otherwise there would be no revolutionary party at all!

"Well, you're right, your cousin has a problem with his brain, so you can't have too high expectations.

However, now Portugal is in charge of Carmona, the warlord dictator who came to power through a coup, if he wants to subvert his rule, it is easy to do it now.

If it takes a long time, it will be difficult to achieve. After all, countries controlled by dictators are much more efficient. As long as they can implement some basic policies, they can gain the support of ordinary people!

The Portuguese Republicans are a mixed bag. It is not correct to say that they are a group of politicians. If they are a union of Portuguese capitalists and gangs, it is almost the same.

They can defeat Manuel II by flicking, but they cannot shake the determination of a dictator. In fact, dictators are the true patriots in many cases! "Ferdinand thought for a while and said

"Father, what do you want to express? Why do I not understand?" Little Ferdinand asked suspiciously

"Very simple, I am going to cooperate with this General Carmona to help the hapless nephew of Manuel II restore!" Ferdinand thought for a while and said

"My father, this joke is not funny! I don't think it is the slightest possibility. How can you let a dictator give up his power?

What's more, Manuel's cousin was unable to control him, and it could only end in tragedy! "Little Ferdinand shook his head and said

"Little Ferdinand, you are still too tender! Now I will give you another lesson, so that you can understand what is called-profit first!" Ferdinand said calmly

"Carmona is a dictator, but that doesn't mean he really wants to wear the hat of a dictator!

At the same time, his rule is not stable, Portugal's finances are on the verge of bankruptcy, and collaborators are urgently needed to help him tide over the difficulties.

At this time, he wouldn't mind an extra rubber stamp on his head. Manuel's incompetence can match him perfectly, allowing him to continue to hold power. "Ferdinand thought for a while and said

"But father, we spent a lot of money to reap the throne of Portugal without the slightest rights. Isn't it too much of a loss?" Little Ferdinand Zou said with a frown

"Little Ferdinand, the account cannot be calculated like that. Bulgaria now needs to strengthen its international influence, but we can no longer use the traditional method. The British will not let us do what we want.

At this time, it is very necessary to adopt some special measures to increase our influence. Moreover, the Bulgarian empire is about to be established, and if we can increase our support, it is worth our shot.

I only need to pay no more than 10 million pounds, of which at least 8 million pounds are recyclable loans, to send Manuel back to the throne. Do you say this deal is worth it? "Ferdinand thought for a while and said

"The price is so small?" Little Ferdinand asked in surprise

You don’t need to spend too much political resources, just pay less than two million pounds in expenses and eight million pounds in loans to complete a restoration.

This is simply challenging Ferdinand’s heart to accept the ability, and what about armed intervention? What about diplomatic blame?

All co-authors can be settled with money, is this also a problem?

For this incompetent cousin, let him spend a lot of political resources, little Ferdinand will definitely object.

But just to spend a sum of money, little Ferdinand said that he was not so stingy.

The Bulgarian royal family is rich in wealth, and such a small expenditure is not considered.

"Of course, don't forget our identity. Even if we don't use the power of the government, my words can still represent the decision of the Bulgarian government. Can the Portuguese distinguish it?

The Gotha family, so many big people, as long as everyone conveys their meaning, the political pressure they bring is enough to make them compromise.

Sometimes the truth and the false are just between one thought. For example, I told the Portuguese that there was a secret agreement with Bulgaria before Manuel II abdicated. Once he loses the throne, Bulgaria can automatically acquire all the overseas colonies of the Portuguese kingdom, guess what What will Carmona do? "Ferdinand thought for a while and said

"He should be mad. If he refuses our kindness, all the Portuguese colonies will be over. As long as we have this secret agreement, we can legally annex the Portuguese colonies!" Little Ferdinand thought for a while.

"Not only that, but the biggest problem is that Portugal's finances will immediately collapse. As long as we are willing, there will not be any bank in Europe to provide them with loans!" Ferdinand said aggressively

Don't doubt, once you have made up your mind to suppress Portugal's finances and the Gotha family's network is used, no one in Europe dares to lend them loans.

The major consortiums in Europe have me in you and you in me. Everyone has penetrated each other through different channels and established a community of interests.

Even with funds outside of this interest group, it is impossible to take huge risks to lend Portuguese people. This is totally outweigh the gain.

With the economic strength in his hands, Ferdinand can mess up the Portuguese financial market at any time as long as he wants. Uukanshu.com exacerbated their domestic economic crisis.

Facing a rich and powerful being, does Carmona have a choice?

Even if he doesn't want to cooperate with Ferdinand, his men will choose to cooperate. After all, Ferdinand's asking price was not high, and it did not harm their interests.

What about the constitutional monarchy? As long as the right to make a constitution is in their hands, they can pass the law to the king and continue to hold power.

The price Ferdinand has spent is also worth it. It is nothing more than spending a sum of money to buy a part of the Portuguese, and then issue a loan. Not only can it increase Bulgaria's influence, but it can also buy a vote of support from the European royal family.

Either one is what Ferdinand needs. If it can be recognized by the entire European aristocratic society, the political influence it will bring is too great, and it is not comparable to money!

Think about it, the development of the British Empire to the present, the emperor of the British royal family, or the emperor of India, knows how difficult this is.

No way, people don't recognize it if you become emperor in Europe!

You can't just close the door and entertain yourself, right?

Just like the Russian tsar, who claims to be the successor of the Eastern Roman Empire, how many people have admitted?

Ferdinand naturally learned his lesson. After so many years of hard work, most of the nobles in Russia, Austro-Hungary, and Germany have been drawn over.

Now that he is married to the Dutch royal family, plus a Portuguese royal family, the position of half of the European aristocracy can be determined.

If nothing else, there will be five marriages in the future, which can bring several great nobles over, plus the growing influence of the Gotha family.

When Ferdinand announced his claim to be the emperor, even if everyone was unwilling to accept it, they could only pinch their noses to admit it!
