Bulgarian Empire

After learning about the specific situation, Victor Keith's good mood suddenly fell silent. Now the situation of the United Kingdom of the Three Clans is not bad, but very bad!

There is nothing but a group of refugees and a government-in-exile. No, there is an army of more than 30,000 people. The morale is acceptable, but the combat effectiveness is worrying.

The main reason is that they don't lack weapons, ammunition, food, and medicine. In this case, even Victor Kiss wants to strengthen his training!

Victor Keith asked in disbelief: "Is it true that Ralph has no money financially?"

Ralph smiled wryly and said, "What do you think? Don't look at the fact that we grabbed a fortune in the Ottoman Empire before, in fact, it was almost consumed in the war!

Besides, don't you know what's going on with our three-clan United Kingdom? In name, our territory is really quite a lot. When did we actually occupy those real places? Have you collected any tax? It was nothing more than an oath of sovereignty and was recognized by the Allies! "

Victor Kiss asked again: "Can we borrow from the Russians? On any mortgage!"

"Forget it! The Russians' finances are not much better than ours. If it weren't for the British and French loans, their finances would have gone bankrupt!" Before Ralph could answer, Victor Kiss vetoed it himself.

Knowing that something is impossible, naturally there is no need to try it. Now the citizens of the United Kingdom of the three tribes basically live on the relief food provided by the Russians. It is already interesting that the Tsarist government can provide so much food, and it would be a bit out of date to make random demands.

After a moment of silence, Ralph said, "Maybe we can apply for a loan from the Allied Powers, otherwise our people will starve to death!"

Victor Kiss was taken aback, and asked wonderingly: "What? Why are our citizens about to starve to death? Didn't the Russians already provide relief food?

According to our prior agreement, the weekly ration per person is 2800 grams of black bread, 300 grams of meat, 280 grams of butter, 950 grams of potato flour, and 1.4 liters of milk. These foods can already meet the basic needs of a person’s survival. ? "

Ralph smiled wryly and said: "That's right, these foods exist in name, but in fact we don't even get one-tenth of what we have, and the Russians just make up the difference with the turnips that are fed to the livestock!

If you want to get enough supplies, give the money first! So our citizens are hungry now, waiting for you, the great president, to solve the problem! "

Victor Keith's anger was already uncontrollable. He really didn't expect the Russians to go so far. Isn't this killing people?

"Didn't you protest to the Russians?" Victor Kiss asked angrily

Ralph said coldly: "To tell you the truth, the highest Russian officer we could meet before you came was only a colonel, do you think it would be useful to find him?

What is the situation in Russia now, don't you know? Stop kidding yourself, okay? "

Victor Kiss was silent. With the corruption of the Tsarist Russian government, it was almost inevitable that this would happen! They don't even care about the lives of their own citizens, let alone these outsiders?

"In this case, let's contact the major powers. No matter which country is willing to provide us with loans, it can accept it. At least let the people fill their stomachs first!" Victor Kiss said helplessly, now he There was no longer any hope for the Russians.

After finishing speaking, Victor Kiss walked towards the direction of the refugee camp, looked at it and then hesitated. He doesn't know how to face these citizens now. They are still struggling with life and death, but he lives in a comfortable house, eating steak and drinking coffee!

At this moment, Victor Kiss hated politics so much, he even missed the days of fleeing, eating the same food as the people, and helping each other.

After thinking about it, Victor Keith finally decided to find a way out for the citizens who supported him. For the first time, he violated discipline and took the initiative to contact the country.

Explained the situation awaiting the verdict!

...

A middle-aged man walked up to Ferdinand and said expressionlessly, "Your Majesty, Agent No. 7 has sent a telegram for help!"

Ferdinand was startled. This "No. 7" intelligence agent is not simple. It can be said that he is the best of all intelligence personnel sent by Bulgaria. He has received awards for his outstanding performance. If he returns to China now, at least The position of a viscount is indispensable!

"Tell me about Sim, what trouble did Number Seven encounter?" Ferdinand asked with great concern.

There is no doubt that this middle-aged man named Sim is one of the new heads of the Bulgarian intelligence organization. Naturally, the power cannot be compared with that of the Fuhu era. The current intelligence organization has been divided into three.

Sim said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, there are more than two million refugees in the tri-ethnic United Kingdom in the Caucasus region. They are now seriously short of food. No. 7 hopes that we can provide necessary humanitarian assistance!"

Obviously, this is beyond what an intelligence officer should do. Ferdinand has no intention of turning his subordinates into saints! So he asked coldly: "What's the reason? What reason is he going to use to convince us?"

Sim replied: "Number Seven thinks that we are now providing humanitarian assistance to the United Kingdom of the Three Clans, which can buy people's hearts and lay the foundation for the future annexation of the United Kingdom of the Three Clans!"

Ferdinand shook his head and said: "Tell him, this reason is not sufficient, if the people of the United Kingdom of the Three Clans are gone, wouldn't it be easier for us to annex them?

If there is no more sufficient reason, it is impossible for us to pay such a high price for a group of irrelevant people! "

Just kidding about the two million refugees, even with the most basic food supply, each person would have to consume 10 kilograms of rye every month. More than two million people would be more than 20 million kilograms, that is, every month More than 20,000 tons of grain were consumed!

Now that the price of grain on the European continent has skyrocketed, Ferdinand is not out of his mind, why would he use so much precious grain for charity?

Besides, even if Ferdinand wants to buy people's hearts, he should consider the feelings of the Russians! The current United Kingdom of the Three Clans is already the meat of their mouths, and can Bulgaria intervene?

In this regard, the two sides have reached a tacit agreement long ago, and they are not allowed to reach out to each other's sphere of influence. If the rules can be broken, the relationship between Bulgaria and Russia will have broken down long ago.

"Yes!" Sim replied emphatically.

Ferdinand did not pursue the responsibility of the No. 7 intelligence agent who might be maronized. After all, heroes are given preferential treatment, and they are all called presidents!

Perhaps, it seems that he, the president of the government-in-exile, is not of high value now, but it will not be certain in the future. After Bulgaria completely occupies the Asia Minor peninsula, the two sides will border each other, and his role will be reflected at that time.

...

The three-ethnic coalition government is a mixed bag. There are not only pro-Russian factions, but also pro-British, pro-French, pro-protection factions, and even pro-German factions. However, due to the relationship between the German and Ottoman alliance, the pro-Russian De Pai failed to grow.

Among these major factions, the "neutral faction" headed by Victor Kiss is the strongest, advocating maintaining friendly relations with the major powers of the Allied Powers, but not completely relying on any one power.

The second is the pro-Russian faction. This faction began to grow rapidly when the provisional government went into exile in the Caucasus region, and even had the momentum of a neutral faction.

Then there is the pro-protection faction, mainly composed of overseas students, deeply influenced by "The Rise of Great Powers", they advocate learning from Bulgaria's political system and realizing the counterattack of a small country.

Then there are the pro-British and pro-French factions. Due to geopolitical relations, the influence of Britain and France in the Ottoman Empire is not very great. It is inevitable that this faction has not developed!

In addition, the United Kingdom of the Three Clans was formed temporarily under the persecution of the Ottomans. Since the establishment time was too short, everyone did not have much centripetal force, and most of them were maintained by the prestige of Victor Kiss. Want to smooth out the relationship among them - difficult!

This time, Victor Kiss was not frustrated when he was unable to obtain domestic help. He had already prepared for it. In peacetime, that is, a matter of several million levas per month, it is still possible to pass.

But now it is a time of war, and European food production has dropped significantly. No one knows how long this war will last. If it is not necessary, everyone tries not to use their grain reserves.

Under this background, it is almost impossible for Victor Kiss to obtain food from the country. But it doesn't matter, no food doesn't mean no rubles!

It is also a good choice to borrow several million rubles from Bulgarian banks for emergency.

For business loans, as long as there is sufficient collateral, it is enough. Of course, the current United Kingdom of the Three Clans has no collateral in its hands, but these are all minor problems. It is not impossible to pre-sell some minerals in advance!

Due to the risk, the price will naturally be very low. As long as the speed is fast enough, an agreement is reached before the Russians react, and the money can be settled.

As for the follow-up issue, Victor Kiss can't control so much. Anyway, he knows that as long as the Bulgarian government does not intervene, the loan will probably be successful, and the bank is also capable of settling the Russian government.

Will Ferdinand interfere? The answer is already obvious! Why not earn the money delivered to your door? Even if the Russians annexed the United Kingdom of the Three Clans, it wouldn't affect the execution of this loan?

As for worrying about whether the Russians will not recognize this agreement after annexing the United Kingdom? It's all overthinking. If you can't even solve this little trouble, why open a branch in Russia?
