Bulgarian Empire

Edward VII's farewell ceremony set another world record in terms of scale and grade. Nine kings rode along with the hearse, and hundreds of thousands of British people saw him off.

After the farewell ceremony, the gathering between the royal family is naturally indispensable. Everyone usually lives in different places in the north and south, but this time it is a rare opportunity to get together, and there is naturally a lot to talk about.

Ferdinand even proposed to sign a treaty to guarantee the rights and interests of the royal families of all countries, that is: countries guarantee each other that the monarchy will last forever!

This proposal was approved by everyone, but when it came to specific actions, differences arose.

Now the monarchy is still in full swing, and everyone does not know the misery of the royal families after the world war, so they are not so active in taking responsibility.

After all, they are not Ferdinand, and they can keep their promises. If something happens, the political forces in the country will definitely not want to help others for nothing?

When it comes time to really contribute, it will be embarrassing if the king can't command the army!

Of course, if they knew that most of the people present after World War I would be kicked out of the throne and go into exile overseas, it would probably be different!

Seeing everyone's reaction, Ferdinand turned his attention to William II and George V. Obviously, the most important thing about this treaty is not the attitude of a few small countries, but the attitude of the six European powers of Britain, Germany, Russia, Austria and Italy!

However, among the six countries, the only kings present were Ferdinand, William II, and George V. As long as they are willing to withstand domestic pressure, this agreement can basically be reached!

In fact, Ferdinand regretted it a bit. This proposal was put forward too late. If it was proposed during the period of Queen Victoria or Edward VII, the possibility of success would be even greater!

However, Ferdinand's words had no weight at that time, and there was no such opportunity for the royal families of various countries to gather together!

In fact, on the position of consolidating the kingship, everyone sitting here is consistent, and Ferdinand's proposal has indeed guaranteed everyone's interests!

But now it is the beginning of the twentieth century, and the people sitting here no longer have the supremacy. It is easy to sign this treaty, but they will have to pay a high price to pass it in the country!

Seeing that they didn't speak for a long time, Ferdinand knew that George V had been shaken, but he didn't expect that William II would not come out to support him either!

It seems that William II still did not give up on expanding the territory. After all, after signing this treaty, the thrones of the royal families of various countries must be guaranteed, which is not conducive to Germany's expansion on the European continent.

And it was impossible for Ferdinand to tell him that this treaty had nothing to do with expanding the territory, as long as the country was established in another place, the whole country was relocated, and it would also facilitate the governance of the future territory!

If countries had learned this trick in advance, Ferdinand wondered how many countries would be left on the European continent?

...

Well, it's not that Ferdinand didn't get support, at least King George I of Greece very much agreed with this treaty and wanted to make a separate treaty with Ferdinand.

But Ferdinand is not stupid, how could he unilaterally guarantee Greece?

The main purpose of his proposal of this treaty is to allow the royal families of Germany, Austria, and Russia to keep their thrones after World War I, to prevent the rise of Germany and the Soviet Union from creating opportunities, and to avoid the outbreak of World War II!

It's a pity that it failed in the end, but Ferdinand's efforts were not in vain, at least his prestige among the European royal families was greatly improved!

Although everyone did not sign the treaty due to various reasons, it did not prevent them from admiring Ferdinand's attitude of safeguarding the kingship!

Due to various reasons, only a shrunken version of the Treaty of the Undefeated Kingship was signed in the end, which was far from the "Undefeated Kingship" proposed by Ferdinand.

The treaty only reaffirmed the protection of the royal family's safety, prohibiting all acts of regicide, and a series of status issues.

Except for the regicide, the other content does not have any coercive force in essence, it is just equivalent to a convention that everyone abides by!

It seems that everyone still loves Xiaoming very much.

Ferdinand could only sigh.

...

Ferdinand was not frustrated when the goal was not achieved. Originally, the chances of success in this matter were not high. Even if a treaty was signed, implementation would still be a big problem. The interests of different countries are inconsistent, and the problem of holding each other back in action, Ferdinand There is no way to solve it!

...

Ferdinand's trip to London did not achieve much, but he did not return directly to Bulgaria, but visited Portugal at the invitation of Manuel II.

Obviously, Manuel II couldn't suppress the domestic political forces, and tried to use the influence of the great powers to suppress the Republican Party.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that this would only expose his weak and incompetent nature, but could not change the current political structure of the Kingdom of Portugal!

After all, Britain and Bulgaria had expressed their support for him before, and even when his father and brother had just passed away, the two countries were preparing to intervene by force.

At that time, if Manuel II had been more ruthless, the Republican Party could have been wiped out with the crime of regicide. Now there are not so many bad things!

In the face of regicide, even those who support or sympathize with the Republican Party cannot defend them, after all, the murderer is a member of the Republican Party!

Under this background, even the army that supports the Republican Party dare not act rashly. Manuel II can definitely mobilize the army that supports the royal family to carry out a major cleansing of the country!

Unexpectedly, Manuel II let go of it lightly. The Republican Party only threw two small feet, and quelled a regicide case that shocked the world!

Now the best time has passed. Even with the support of the great powers, Manuel II has not been able to control all the military power, nor can he act rashly, otherwise it is very likely to lead to a civil war.

Well, Ferdinand admitted that he was not a good person himself, and he was really sincere in supporting Manuel II's succession at first!

But is it now? Seeing Manuel II's series of incompetent performances, his purpose has deteriorated!

Even if the Kingdom of Portugal has fallen, the wealth left behind is still impressive. At least in terms of overseas colonies, Bulgaria is not as good as Portugal now!

Want to rob? Stop dreaming! As early as more than ten years ago, in the Anglo-Boer War, in order to obtain the support of Portugal, the British and the two countries had reached an agreement. The British Empire provided guarantees for the security of the Portuguese colonies in exchange for the Portuguese support in the Boer War. British Army support.

However, the scope of application of this guarantee is also very limited. If the Portuguese sell or transfer it on their own initiative, then it has nothing to do with the British!

Therefore, the value of Manuel II came out. In any case, he is also recognized as the king of Portugal. Ferdinand only needs to sign an agreement with him to legally obtain the colonies of the Kingdom of Portugal.

Of course, Ferdinand has not exposed this purpose. After all, the king is still doing well. How could he betray the interests of the Kingdom of Portugal for no reason?

However, it does not prevent them from signing a secret agreement. As for the content of the secret agreement, it can still be determined according to the situation and can be changed at any time. Anyway, only the two of them know the specific content, as long as their caliber is the same, it is true!

Well, when Ferdinand signed the secret treaty, he had already forged dozens of secret treaties, all of which were produced on the same day. No matter how experts and scholars in later generations do research, it is impossible to distinguish the true from the false!

As for whether the Portuguese government admits it, does it matter? Bulgaria is also a great power. Although it is one of the weakest great powers, a great power is a great power. In many cases, you just need an excuse to do a lot of things!

Therefore, Ferdinand stood up for Manuel II very readily, and the two sides also had in-depth exchanges. Manuel II also asked Ferdinand about how to govern the country, and the two sides discussed happily.

After Ferdinand left Portugal, it was reported that he signed a secret treaty with Manuel II. As for the content of the secret treaty, of course it must be kept secret, otherwise how could it be called a secret treaty?

This is exactly what Manuel II wanted. If no one knows the content of this secret agreement, then everyone can only be suspicious and make up their own brains.

In this context, even if the Republican Party wants to take any action, it must think twice. They all knew about the "Treaty of Undefeated Kingship" just signed, and they knew Ferdinand's position well. Who knew how much content he would include in the secret agreement he signed with Manuel II?

If they just overthrew Manuel II, they attracted the intervention army and restored it again, wouldn't they be miserable?
