Bulgarian Empire

The command of the German-Austrian Allied Forces on the Eastern Front was having a fierce quarrel. Hindenburg and Ludendorff, who had emerged in this war, had a fierce collision of ideas with Falkenhayn, the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces.

Hindenburg and Ludendorff advocated immediately concentrating their forces, attacking Huanglong from the Lithuanian area, and conquering St. Petersburg before the Russian winter came; while Falkenhayn advocated using the effective force of killing and wounding the Russians to force the Russians to withdraw from the war.

Hindenburg said angrily: "Your Excellency, Commander, it's too late to go straight to St. Petersburg now. Don't have any illusions about the Russians withdrawing from the war. Our best choice is to fight them so that they dare not fight any more!"

Falkenhayn also roared tit for tat: "No, winter for the Russians is coming soon, if I choose to attack St. Petersburg, I must finish it within this short month!

This is impossible. Don't forget that we are still more than 300 kilometers away from St. Petersburg, and the Russians still have at least 500,000 troops in St. Petersburg.

Once they discover our purpose, they can concentrate one million troops in St. Petersburg within a week, and this number will expand to one and a half million within half a month!

Can you get to St. Petersburg in a week? Even if the Russians let you go directly, we can't do it!

According to your plan, by the time we break through the Russian blockade and arrive in St. Petersburg, winter will already be here. If we are unlucky, winter will come as soon as we are still on the way!

Fighting polar bears in minus 20 or 30 degrees, what a madman you are! "

Ludendorff accepted his words: "No, Your Excellency Commander! If we abandon a large amount of supplies and directly force a surprise march, we can still reach St. Petersburg within a week!

Let the navy send our supplies to Tallinn, where we can get supplies, and then attack immediately. Now that the main force of the Russian army is almost consumed, it is impossible to hold St. Petersburg with a group of rabble Russians! "

Falkenhayn shook his head angrily, and said two words: "Crazy!"

I have to say that Hindenburg and Ludendorff's idea of ​​a golden partner is crazy.

After a moment of silence, Falkenhayn said again: "I don't care what you think, stop now, I can't gamble you with the fortune of the German Empire!

Please remember, as a soldier, obeying orders is a bounden duty! Now I order you to take the troops to grab food and supplies for me. The people in the country still need us to find food for them for the winter, understand! "

"Yes!" The two said in unison.

Unable to convince Commander-in-Chief Falkenhayn, Hindenburg and Ludendorff did not think they could convince the German Supreme Command, so they could only use it to do work with little technical content-robbery!

Yes, the battle has been fought until now, and the Germans have no intention of continuing to attack. The front line is getting longer and longer, and it is becoming more and more difficult to supply. Instead of taking risks and continuing to fight, it is better to stop now.

Now the domestic food supply in Germany is already very tight. Due to the British blockade, the only channels for Germans to import food are Denmark and the Netherlands. The food production of other countries such as Sweden, Norway, and Switzerland is not high. , there is not much left to sell.

Not only the life of the Germans is difficult, but also the Austro-Hungarian Empire. As one of the most important grain-changing countries in Europe, they cannot guarantee self-sufficiency due to the war.

Therefore, it is the consensus of the top leaders of the two countries to go to Russia to grab food now. If there is not enough food, it will be difficult for Germany and Austria to survive 1917.

In order to keep the people in the country from starving, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Falkenhan, didn't care too much. He directly ordered food requisition tasks to the troops, and no matter what they did, he only wanted food.

In order to quickly raise food, everyone's methods are naturally not so civilized.

For example, the granaries of the capitalists were directly confiscated, and the granaries of the nobles were naturally confiscated as well.

It has to be said that the Germans are still very smart, but they only set their sights on the Russian capitalists and nobles who have a lot of food, while ordinary people are not within the scope of the search, and of course the most important thing is that they cannot be found.

There is no wanton search of ordinary people, but can their lives really not be affected? The answer is no, the Germans also hope to force the local people to cooperate with them through food.

The first ones who couldn't bear it were naturally the citizens in the city. The grain of the capitalists was confiscated, and the grain stores were naturally closed, so where did they go to buy grain?

Naturally, it was a grain store opened by the German and Austrian occupation forces! Is it really that simple? Obviously not, Germans don't take rubles!

Mettlach is an ordinary citizen of Lviv and a victim at the same time. Due to the arrival of the German-Austrian coalition forces, his family's life cannot be passed.

"Honey, what should we do? Now rubles are like waste paper, we can't buy anything, and we don't have much food in our house!" asked his wife Alice

Mettlach said with a wry smile, "Why don't I go to the factory occupied by the Germans, they are now recruiting people to resume production."

Alice shook her head and said, "What if you work for the enemy and the government comes back later? They will send you to jail!"

Mettlach nodded, and said: "But now we are almost out of food, if we don't work for the enemy, we will starve to death!

Shall we also flee famine? no!

Now that there is chaos everywhere, and we have to take the children, where can we go? "

Alice's tears were already flowing, and she cried, "Sorry, I shouldn't have stopped you before! If we had left Lviv before the enemy came, this would not have happened!"

"No! This has nothing to do with you. It's all those useless bastards who lost too quickly. We just received the news that the enemy occupied Lvov in less than three days. We can run to the city in such a short time. Where?" Mettlach comforted

Alice stopped crying, and said: "Unfortunately, we don't have any money, otherwise we would take the children and leave Europe and go to a place where there is no war."

...

The biggest impact of this world war was that a large number of Europeans left the European continent to settle in the Americas in order to avoid the war. It can be said that it was this great immigration that laid the foundation for the rise of the United States in the future!

After all, there are only a small number of people who can leave, and most of them exist like Mettlach who want to leave but can't.

With the rapid advance of the German-Austrian coalition forces, the number of refugees accepted by Bulgaria began to grow exponentially.

The rich people were the first to come here. Their purpose was to leave Europe to escape the war, and they only made a transit in Bulgaria.

Unfortunately, they were targeted by the unscrupulous Ferdinand, and it was not so easy to leave.

When they arrived in Bulgaria, they were dumbfounded. The ruble was almost becoming waste paper. The exchange rate before the war is now invalid. Before the war, 1 lev = 0.375 rubles, now 1 lev = 150 rubles, and This figure continues to depreciate.

Although inflation also occurred in Russia, it was not so severe? It's a pity that this is Bulgaria, and there are only three major banks that can do exchange business. This is obviously taking advantage of the fire, even worse than robbery!

In an instant, it depreciated wildly by more than 400 times, no one can stand it!

It’s okay to bring gold, there is no possibility of depreciation, and Bulgaria’s prices are similar to those before the war. They can exchange for levs and live a very comfortable life.

Those who bring rubles are miserable, they can’t spend it at all. I thought tens of thousands of rubles was a huge sum of money, but I didn’t expect that I couldn’t even buy a boat ticket to America.

There is no way. Everyone knows how the current economic situation in Russia is. The depreciation of the ruble is inevitable. The most important thing is that the ruble cannot be spent at all, and the capitalists naturally refuse to accept it.

Of course it can’t be spent, it’s just for ordinary people. At least Ferdinand can take rubles to buy in Russia. Although prices in Russia have skyrocketed several times, it doesn’t affect him at all to earn the difference.

Naturally, I couldn't leave without money. I either stayed in Bulgaria to find a job to make money, or I went back home. This multiple-choice question is very simple. As long as you are not stupid, you will know that Russia is in chaos and it is not suitable for life at all.

Although many people are worried that the German-Austrian coalition forces will attack Bulgaria soon, and the days of peace will not be long, but it is still safe now, isn't it? Let's leave after raising enough travel expenses!

Due to the sudden increase in population, the shortage of labor force caused by the war is now filled by refugees, and instead, there is a scene of prosperity.

Of course, the arrival of a large number of refugees has also brought hidden dangers to Bulgaria's social security. However, it is now a time of war, and it cannot be said to be "one post at three steps, one sentry at five steps", but militias all over the streets are still indispensable.

Those who dared to endanger social order were suppressed by the local militia as soon as they appeared, and then sent directly to the mine.

At this time, Prime Minister Constantine was reporting the results to Ferdinand: "Your Majesty, the number of refugees from Russia has started to skyrocket in recent months. In August alone, we received 460,000 Russian refugees. It is estimated that in September This number will continue to grow.

Now the total number of refugees in the country has exceeded 4 million, of which Russian refugees account for a quarter, and the rest are Romanian refugees.

The Romanian refugees have been resettled almost before. Most of them have joined the army and are now serving in the Asia Minor peninsula. The rest are still in the refugee camp except for some old and weak, and the others are basically resettled. .

Among the more than one million Russian refugees, about a quarter of them came to seek refuge with relatives and friends.

The other three-quarters are the ones that the government needs to come forward to resettle, but it is not a big problem. It is estimated that most of them can find jobs this month.

The arrival of the influx of refugees and the lack of manpower we were worried about are no longer a problem. But as a price, we will release more than 1,000 tons of relief food every day from now on, and this number is still increasing, and may double in two or three months!

The cabinet has decided to place the follow-up refugees on the Asia Minor peninsula in order to restore agricultural production there as soon as possible and lay the foundation for the future! "

Ferdinand nodded in satisfaction, and sent a group of refugees there first, and then entrusted a group of military nobles to go there after the war. He could also emigrate part of the population from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Bulgaria's foundation in Asia Minor Peninsula would be stable.

The only trouble is the large number of Romanians in the country. Although the previous wars have reduced the population of Romania by more than one million, and the immigration has caused the Ottomans to kill millions, but due to the acquisition of the Transinian region, the population of Romania has increased again. skyrocketed.

Although no census has been conducted, it is roughly estimated that the number of Romanians in the area actually controlled by Bulgaria now exceeds 7 million, making them the second largest ethnic group after the Slavs.

Ferdinand asked: "President, what is the government's plan for the Romanians in the country? If one is not handled properly, it will leave a very big hidden danger for the future!"

Constantine thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, Romania in the Transinian region was originally part of the Kingdom of Hungary. After the war is over, we can send them back home!

In this way, the number of Romanians in our country has been directly reduced by half, and they have been scattered to various places, greatly reducing the threat.

At the same time, we can continue to immigrate to the colonies, continuously dilute their population proportion in an area, and slowly assimilate them. "

Obviously, Constantine is preparing to move the disaster eastward. The Romanians in Transinia were indeed part of the Kingdom of Hungary before the war, but they are obviously not now.

They also don't have any sense of identity with the Kingdom of Hungary, but these Romanians also don't have a sense of identity with Bulgaria.

There are more than seven million Romanians, and Ferdinand is not sure that he can assimilate them. Although they are also deeply influenced by Slavic culture, we are indeed two ethnic groups. It is not easy for different nationalities to assimilate!

But if this number is reduced by half, and there are only more than three million people left, the difficulty will be greatly reduced!

The big deal is throwing 1.8 million to the overseas colonies. As long as the Romanians in any area account for no more than 20% of the total population, they will not be able to make a big wave.

As for what will happen to the Kingdom of Hungary, Ferdinand doesn't care about this issue. Anyway, the defeated countries have no human rights, and it is not their turn to make decisions.

Suddenly Ferdinand thought of another question, so he asked: "What if the Russians annexed Hungary? They have no shortage of population, so they must not be interested in accepting these Romanians. What should we do then?"

After thinking about it for a while, Constantine said fiercely: "Then let the Romanians establish their own country, but they need to change their territory. Jordan is a good territory, and Libya can also be considered!"

Ferdinand was taken aback, this attention is still really dark, Jordan was originally prepared for the Greeks, and their domestic population is only over one million, so naturally there is no problem.

But now there are more than 7 million Romanians. I am afraid that the problem of survival alone is a big problem that will plague Romanians in the future! Not to mention Libya, Romanians must not be allowed to eat sand!

It's a pity that Ferdinand couldn't think of any good solution. From the perspective of strategic security, the Balkan Peninsula would definitely not be able to divide a piece of land for them to establish a country!

As for making Romania a buffer between Bulgaria and Russia, Ferdinand never thought about it. Unless they are allowed to establish a country in Moldova, there is no feasibility at all. It is impossible for Bulgaria to hand over its own portal to its enemies!

After a while, Constantine lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, otherwise we will let the army..."
