Mediterranean Hegemony Road

After listening to Ferdinand's words, Fuhu also calmed down. Anyway, the relationship between the two countries has always been like this. How bad can it be? What if you have evidence? Does Serbia still dare to go to war? Fuhu, who had figured it out, began to think about the next plan again.

"His Excellency, what should we do with the rebels in Serbia now? They are in a very bad situation now! If we hadn't been paying and contributing, they would have been dead long ago!"

After thinking about it, Ferdinand said: "It was expected! They are a mob, and there is no hope that they can do anything! It is a surprise that they have been able to fight the guerrillas with the government forces for such a long time!

Now that it's been exposed, let's just be explicit, the army will soon change its clothes, replace it with tatters or sell or give it away, and throw some of it to the rebels! "

Fu Hu said forcefully: "Yes! Grand Duke, I know what to do next!"

...

Originally, Ferdinand was not prepared to look for Serbia's bad luck now. They haven't completely fallen out with the boss, Austria-Hungary, and they won't take much advantage of going up now!

"Planting flowers will not bloom, planting willows and willows will make shade!"

Unexpectedly, under the butterfly effect, a small riot in Serbian history turned into a civil war!

It's normal to think about it, Serbia is already poor, and was beaten by Bulgaria a few years ago. When I saw Bulgaria's military expansion, I didn't consider whether the finances could bear it, so I followed up in a daze, and then I raised taxes when I had no money!

Unfortunately, the economic crisis has come again! Another disaster for Serbia, the people couldn't bear it anymore, a spark ignited! !

It should have been suppressed soon, but unfortunately, the Austro-Hungarian financial crisis broke out again, the original loan was gone, and the government was short of money, delaying the suppression of the rebellion!

Just happened to be targeted by Ferdinand again. Bulgaria, an international fighter, provided favorable support to the rebels. The rebels with a nurse would not be so easy to deal with! !

Even a group of rabble can't stand him with a gun! They can't deal with the normal army. They play guerrilla warfare and hide and seek. Who is afraid of who?!

After all, the rebels are the representatives of the toiling masses, and the base of the masses is unquestionable! The people who couldn't survive, it was their steady stream of new blood, which was consumed by the government army.

There is no big record, killing a landlord today, killing a noble tomorrow, and breaking a small town the day after tomorrow is still indispensable!

Now is the weakest time for Serbia, if Ferdinand misses this opportunity, he is really unwilling!

If you can give him a ruthless, do not ask for compensation for ceding the land, at least for 20 years, you can not worry about the threat from Serbia!

Wandering left and right, Ferdinand decided to hold a military and political meeting to see what kind of judgment the Bulgarian elites would make!

...

Ferdinand is embarrassed. This is definitely not the fact that he was found to have sabotaged in Serbia. It was Serbia who destroyed free trade and seriously damaged the interests of Bulgaria!

...

Khan, the military's opinion is purely based on military considerations, completely ignoring the influence of political and diplomatic affairs. To sum up, it is "to fight" and "to take revenge"! !

I don't know, I thought that the previous Bulgarian war was that Bulgaria was defeated and was beaten to Sofia? ? Now we must raise the army of the whole country to avenge the nine-year revenge! !

Ferdinand resolutely chose to ignore it, hate that thing can't be eaten as food, it's a good medicine when you need it, and let it cool on the side when you don't need it! Anyway, it wasn't Bulgaria who lost last time, and Serbia is even bigger in terms of hatred. Now Alexander I should be the one who wants revenge!

Looking at the government, the attitude of the military still played a role,

At least give them enough confidence!

Chekov was the first to speak. Having experienced the Bulgarian War, he has always been a staunch anti-Serbian, but after entering the cabinet, he began to take a comprehensive look at the problem and gradually put aside his hatred.

A bit of schadenfreude, mixed with an angry tone, he said: "If it's just a Serb, there's no pressure on us! Since they were defeated in the Bulgarian War in 1886, life has been difficult.

Before they could recover, they caught up with the economic crisis, and then the civil war broke out. Although the rebels have been suppressed, and two consecutive years of turmoil, now Serbia can be said to be the weakest period!

"The country is poor and the people are poor, and domestic and foreign difficulties" is the best portrayal of Serbia! It is inversely proportional to our rapid development, and we have been left far behind in terms of national strength! (Remarks: Before 1885, Bulgaria was overtaken by Serbia due to civil strife. Until the outbreak of the Bulgarian Serbia War, Serbia had the upper hand. The Bulgarian army defeated the strong and completed the counterattack, interrupting the development of Serbia!)

The key issue now is the attitude of the powers, at least the attitude of Russia and Austria-Hungary is very important, at least to get their tacit approval!

Otherwise, think that in 1886, all our troops hit Niš. If it weren't for the intervention of Austria-Hungary, Serbia would not exist! The result is that all our efforts have turned into water! "

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Ferdinand said, "No, our efforts were not in vain. Although we didn't get the spoils we deserved, we did a lot of damage to the invaders, didn't we? Serbia has not recovered yet, and this is the biggest gain!

Now everyone still considers it from a political and diplomatic point of view. We will fully weigh the pros and cons of the consequences of Serbia's actions and make the most powerful decision! Everyone go on! "

After listening to Ferdinand's words, Chekov also realized that he had made a blunder. Although he said the truth, he could never say it in politics! I was embarrassed and overwhelmed for a while, and looked at Ferdinand gratefully, mixed with a bit of shame!

After a while, the meeting was back on topic again!

Next, Foreign Minister Georgy Rakovsky spoke: "From a diplomatic point of view, the Serbian government is also in a very embarrassing position! After the outbreak of the Austrian-Hungarian financial crisis, major banks have taken international measures. The contraction strategy has also affected Serbia, and the loan that has been negotiated is gone!

The Serbian government found the Russians, and with the help of the Russians, they obtained a batch of loans from France, and took back the minerals promised to the Austro-Hungarian Bank by default and mortgaged them again. It was given to France, but it was done under the intervention of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but the relationship between the two countries also fell to the ice!

The French forces entered Serbia, which made the Austro-Hungarian government very upset. It is said that Franz Joseph I was furious about it! "

Don't be surprised, the great powers in the 19th century were so domineering, I can breach the contract, but you can't! If you don't accept the theory, the cannon is guaranteed to convince you!
