Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 78, The Ambition of the Greeks

"Your Majesty, our army is ready and can land on the Asia Minor Peninsula at any time!" Army Minister Popov said solemnly

"Your Majesty, our navy is also ready to cover the landing of the army at any time!" Naval Minister Petrov added

Ferdinand knew that the military couldn't bear it long ago, if they hadn't suppressed it forcibly, they would have done it long ago.

The conflict between Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire could not be eased for a long time, and it is undoubtedly the best choice to settle the grievances in the world war. So let the Ottomans make one last contribution now, Ferdinand thought secretly.

"Well, Syria can fall!" Ferdinand said lightly

He knew the order might cost millions of lives, but politics is cruel.

Now the Syrian area is different from the desolation of the Ottoman Empire. The Greeks who arrived first, and the Romanians and Montenegrins who arrived later, the total population has reached 3.18 million.

Among them, there are 1.78 million Greek immigrants, 430,000 immigrants from the Kingdom of Montenegro, and the remaining 970,000 are Romanians.

If Bulgaria wants to defend, just arm them and they'll be done. Obviously Ferdinand would not do this, which is not in the interests of Bulgaria.

Of course, it is impossible for Bulgaria to give up Syria suddenly, so that it is easy for people to see the flaws and cause unnecessary troubles.

Many of the immigrants who migrated from Montenegro used to be supporters of the Ottoman Empire. If they were given an opportunity to lead the way, then the defeat of the defenders would be a matter of course!

The intelligence department is better at this aspect, so Syria's new garrison commander is Major General Vicky Clinton, who was born in the intelligence department. His mission this time is to lose Syria within two months within two months!

Well, losing a battle is hard for any general, but it's nothing for an intelligence agent.

They have encountered even more bizarre missions, but who made them meet the boss Ferdinand? Baptized by the Internet in later generations, he naturally borrowed many classic routines.

After the fall of Syria, it was decided by Ferdinand after careful consideration. If you want to borrow a knife to kill, you have to give the enemy a chance to use the knife, right?

After the Ottomans took action, Bulgaria would appear as a savior. Even if the conflict with these immigrants could not be eliminated, at least part of the hatred could be transferred smoothly.

...

While letting Syria fall, the Bulgarian army also launched an attack on the Italian colony of Iritrea.

Oh, after the outbreak of the World War, Italy's colonial government in Iritria declared its neutrality very strangely.

Seeing that they are safe enough and not a strategic location, the Allied Powers did not seek their misfortune for a while, and now their good days are over.

Obviously they are all smart people, otherwise they would not have thought of such a wonderful way to declare neutrality!

However, smart people also have the characteristic of fear of death. The Bulgarian navy 6 team just landed 6, they announced their surrender.

Of course, one cannot expect how strong the combat effectiveness of the thousands of Italian soldiers hanging overseas can be.

In fact, it was not Ferdinand's intention to rob Iritria by force, it was George I's initiative to ask for it. Jordan is really not a good place, there is nothing you want.

To be king in this kind of place is not suitable for the unfulfilled George I. Although he is not young anymore, he still wants to fight.

Iritrea is different. It is not far from the Suez Canal to facilitate ocean trade, and it is on the African continent, far away from the core area of ​​​​the European powers.

Ethiopia next to it was regarded as fat by George I, and it effectively imitated Ferdinand's posture of overthrowing the Ottoman Empire, preparing to annex Ethiopia to establish a new empire.

In Ferdinand's view, this is another person who was fooled by the "rise of great powers". In fact, Ferdinand's "Rise of Great Powers" theory,

The spread rate in the world is still very high, and there are quite a few people who believe in his theory.

George I can be said to have witnessed the rise of Bulgaria, and his feelings were even deeper, and he naturally accepted this theory when he was in a hurry.

By the way, I also used this theory to convince many elites among the Greeks. The reality is in front of them. Even if the Greek peninsula is restored, it is doomed to be a small one and has no chance of becoming a powerful country.

But the African continent is different. Once Greece annexes Ethiopia, the foundation of a great power will be there, and the opportunity to revive Greece is at hand.

Of course, this is also in Europe, where people are more open-minded, and people can leave their hometowns and accept the wonderful theory that countries can be built wherever they are.

Then the Greek government signed a territorial transaction agreement with Bulgaria, that is, to exchange the Greek peninsula for Iritrea. Considering the difference in the degree of development between the two sides, Bulgaria will be responsible for helping Greece "relocate" as compensation.

The whole world was stunned, but considering the European tradition, there are not a few cases of trading territories. It's just that in the past hundred years, this kind of national migration has rarely happened.

Shock is shocking, but now that the world war is raging, everyone has no time to pay attention to such trivial matters.

Anyway, everyone has long been mentally prepared for Bulgaria's annexation of the Greek peninsula. Now there are not many Greeks in the Greek peninsula. It is not surprising that the Greek government made such a decision. If you don't run away, you will be completely annexed.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is Bulgaria messing around, and it has nothing to do with them anyway.

But in the eyes of politicians, it is completely different. This treaty provides a legal basis for Bulgaria to annex the Greek peninsula. This has allowed many countries that intend to expand their territory in the European continent to see new opportunities.

Among them, the Germans and the French are most interested and have the greatest ambitions.

The Spaniards seemed to be preparing to make such a territorial deal with Portugal again, but unfortunately the Portuguese decisively rejected it. Now Portugal has also joined the Allied Powers, making the Spaniards afraid to act rashly.

No matter what the outside world thinks, George I has already taken the loan from Ferdinand and went to Iritrea to announce the reconstruction of the Kingdom of Greece in a high-profile manner.

With the withdrawal of the Greek government, Bulgaria also completely controlled the Greek peninsula. The first thing Ferdinand did was to find experts and scholars to change the name of the Greek peninsula.

This is not a small project. Many places in the Ottoman Empire in the future will need to be renamed. This requires a lot of research and compilation of the theoretical basis for the name change.

Anyway, according to Ferdinand's request, those who have historical allusions should find allusions, and those who don't have historical allusions should make up allusions themselves. In short, it is necessary to determine Bulgaria's legal inheritance rights to these territories.

Prior to this, experts had verified the legitimacy of Bulgaria to the Asia Minor Peninsula. This can be traced back to the 2nd century AD. Although it has been a long time, it is enough.

The main reason is that modern history is not easy to compile, and it is easy to misunderstand, but ancient history is difficult to verify. According to the logic of these talkative experts, probably Bulgaria has legal inheritance rights to most of Asia.

Anyway, they have more ancestors. As a mixed race, they can inherit quite a lot of inheritance.

Of course, these theoretical basis are still being perfected. According to Ferdinand's estimate, such true and false information should be able to drive future historians crazy!

...

The re-establishment of the Kingdom of Greece, George I still attracted a lot of talents, and Greeks scattered all over the world tried to return to the "New Kingdom of Greece" every day.

Affected by the theory of "the rise of great powers", everyone did not blame George I for being cowardly this time, but believed that he was courageous and could bring new hope to Greece.

George I was also black enough, throwing out the blame for the failure of the two Greek wars, and directly whitewashed himself.

Even the pot of the Greek-Turkish war was pushed to the cabinet, accusing them of corruption and deduction of military pay, which caused the Greek army to lose its combat effectiveness, which allowed Bulgaria to rise.

The gambling agreement he signed with Ferdinand at the beginning was completely fair, but it failed because the government was too corrupt and the army's combat effectiveness was too weak.

If the Greek army also has the equivalent combat effectiveness of the Bulgarian army, then at least half of the Balkan Peninsula is now Greek territory.

It is reasonable and well-founded, but it is actually preparing to follow the Bulgarian system. "Constitutional monarchy centered on the king", this is how the outside world evaluates Bulgaria!

This is the most puzzling part of the outside world. Obviously Bulgaria also has a parliament, which is also elected through democratic elections. But these congressmen have no intention of pointing fingers at the government at all, they usually do what they should do.

It can only be said that these members of Congress do not care enough about politics, but their laissez-faire, Bulgaria is still developing very well, even more stable than any other country.

This makes many politicians envious. Out of their own interests, they naturally hope that the Congress can follow the example of Bulgaria, and usually advocate the superiority of the Bulgarian system.

The current Greek government is all trusted by George I. As for the original batch of moths, he naturally wiped out all the moths, and the stolen money that was confiscated happened to be used by him as funds for the reconstruction of the Kingdom of Greece.

Coupled with the hot-blooded young people who came from all over the world, the newly-born Greek kingdom had a scene of prosperity, which made Ferdinand dumbfounded.

Is the theory of the rise of great powers that I toss about casually really feasible? Of course, this will take time to verify, but George I made a good start for this theory.

...

After getting rid of the control of Bulgaria and coming to Iritrea, George I felt like a bird flying in the sky, and he seemed to be ten years younger.

"President, how is the immigration work going?" George I asked concerned

The Prime Minister said energetically: "Your Majesty, everything is going well. Since the rebuilding of the Kingdom of Greece, in just over a month, we have received more than 10,000 immigrants.

And judging from the situation from all over the world, Greeks all over the world are willing to support us in rebuilding the Greek Kingdom, and many people are limited by the world war and cannot come here.

If nothing else, the number of immigrants after the end of the world war will increase greatly.

At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has reached an agreement with Bulgaria, and they agreed to repatriate all Greeks in the Syrian area. It won't be long before we can rebuild our army, conquer Ethiopia and establish the Kingdom of Great Greece! "
