Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 89, Persian Problem

The genius remembered the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements!? "Your Majesty, the British government has sent a note to the Foreign Office, protesting our actions in Persia!" Megeve said cautiously

"Have we taken military action against the Persian government?" Ferdinand asked suspiciously

"Not yet!" replied Megeve

"Since that's the case, let's just restore the British. We didn't take unilateral military action. What's there for them to protest?

Does Bulgaria conduct a military exercise on its own territory and report to them? ’ said Ferdinand calmly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" replied Megeve

There is nothing wrong with it. Although it is preparing to take military action, it is not considered a violation of the agreement before it is implemented.

Since the agreement has not been violated, what is there to explain?

...

London

Since Stanley Baldwin moved into Downing Street, he has not been in a good mood for a few days. Domestic workers are on strike, and Bulgaria, France, and Japan are all about to move around the world.

"Prime Minister, we must take decisive action to let the Bulgarians know how powerful we are!" Chancellor of the Exchequer Churchill said angrily

"Mr. Churchill, what action do you think we should take? To fight the Bulgarians directly?

With all due respect, with your military capabilities, I'm afraid you don't have the right to speak! ’ retorted the Secretary of State

This is not nonsense, as a talkative expert, his command ability in the military is infinitely equal to zero.

When commanding the Navy, he was overwhelmed by the Germans' infinite submarine warfare. After he stepped down, the next Secretary of the Navy quickly solved the problem.

When commanding the army, he also lost soldiers and lost generals. He almost became a prisoner. In fact, it was the result of his actions in violation of military orders. If he hadn't had a strong background and blamed his superiors, he would have been court-martialed long ago.

In Stanley Baldwin's cabinet, Churchill, the chancellor of the exchequer, can be said to be out of place. He seems to have joined just to tear down the stage.

Many times, they wondered if Churchill was an undercover agent sent by his competitors to trip them up.

History has proven: yes!

It's just that he wasn't sent by others, he himself was doing sabotage to create conditions for himself to rise to the top. For example: arbitrarily commanding the army to suppress workers' strikes, resulting in very serious political consequences.

Then, he patted his ass and left, and the Stanley Baldwin government had to deal with him. Stanley stepped down after only a few months in his first term as prime minister.

Before assuming the position of prime minister, Churchill had at least three cabinets, which can be said to have brought the talent of a politician to the extreme.

"Why is the British Empire still afraid of a little Bulgaria? If no action is taken, won't the outside world think that our British Empire has fallen, and any cat or dog can come and step on it?" Churchill said with a sneer

"The problem is that the Bulgarians did not violate the agreement between us, judging from the current situation, they are only trying to intimidate the Persian government.

Is it really worth it if we face Bulgaria directly for such a small matter?

Now the people don't want war to break out. In Persia, I also think that our army can win Bulgaria! ’ Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin thought for a while and said

"Then we watch Bulgaria encroach on our sphere of influence, and then follow Persia into India and take our India?" Churchill said with a sneer

"Mr. Churchill, I think you need to calm down. In less than a month, you have advocated military action against Japan, France, and the Russian Empire. Now you have added Bulgaria. Are you a war lunatic? Is it?" Stanley Baldwin asked angrily.

It's not that Stanley has a bad temper. It is estimated that any leader will not have a good temper when he encounters a subordinate who wants to make trouble over and over again.

He would have kicked Churchill out of the cabinet if it weren't for the reconciliation of disputes within the party.

Churchill hated Bulgaria?

No!

For politicians, there is no need for hatred, only need and need! Now provoking the Anglo-Bulgarian conflict will help him gain political capital, so he hates Bulgaria.

In the same way, he advocated being tough on France and Japan, as well.

Stanley Baldwin was already the leader of the moderate faction, followed by Chamberlain, and Churchill had to become the leader of the hardline faction if he wanted to be in power.

They were destined to become political enemies from the very beginning, and the relationship between the two parties was naturally not much better, and it was only normal to tear each other down.

"Since this is the case, then you can continue this meeting, and I, a war lunatic, should leave first!"

Churchill finished speaking with a sneer, then turned around and left, without any intention of paying attention to everyone.

Stanley Baldwin was no longer surprised by this. Anyway, he had already made up his mind to find an opportunity to kick him out of the cabinet, so he naturally didn't bother to pay attention.

"Okay, get out of here, let's continue the meeting just now!" Stanley said with a wave of his hand

"Mr. Prime Minister, I suggest that we negotiate directly with the Bulgarians, delineate the sphere of influence through a clear treaty, or directly carve up the Persian region!" Secretary of State Chamberlain suggested

"This is a good idea. Since the Bulgarians did not attack the Persian region directly, it means that they do not intend to directly turn against us.

There is a lot of room for us to operate, and there is no need for direct military confrontation. Fighting and killing all day long will not solve the problem! ’ echoed the Secretary of War

Fighting a war with Bulgaria in Persia, isn't this courting death?

The British Army is not the Royal Navy, and it has the confidence to fight any country. In the era when the anti-war ideology spreads among the people, it is better not to fight if there is no war, even if it is only a local war.

As the leader of the moderates, the cabinet led by Stanley Baldwin is naturally dominated by moderates. Now that the British Empire is full, it is naturally impossible to take risks.

Don't watch Churchill open and close his mouth, but take action. If he is the prime minister now, he will probably make the same decision as Stanley.

How can there be fewer conflicts between countries? If there was a direct military confrontation or a battle because of a small conflict, then the British Empire would not be able to reach its current status, and would have died on the way.

What are the consequences of an all-out war with Bulgaria now? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that besides losing both sides, is there a second result?

The First World War has educated politicians all over the world. Just look at the Russian Empire to see whether the war is very cruel. It is clearly a victorious country, but unfortunately it looks no different from the defeated country.

Even France just won face, and the huge war indemnity cannot make up for their loss of strength. You must know that the comprehensive national strength of the French before the war broke out was at least half that of the British, and now it is not even one third. Not anymore.

...

The controversy in London quickly reached Ferdinand, which did not surprise him.

In his previous life, he had heard many rumors that Churchill was an American spy, but in later life it was difficult to tell the truth from the false.

Even in this time and space, it is impossible to confirm the authenticity of this news, but Churchill's opposition to attacking the United States is indeed true, but he cannot support it alone.

Ferdinand was more willing to believe that the Americans bought Churchill at a high price, or seized him and threatened him to make certain decisions.

After all, Churchill's policy of making wedding dresses for the United States is really too much, too many to be unacceptable, and it is easy to be misunderstood by Americans who raised his status so high in later generations.

As a gravedigger of the British Empire, how can he deserve such a high evaluation? This is obviously abnormal. A loser has become the greatest prime minister in British history. Is this a joke made by history?
