Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Well, all the words have been said by Ferdinand, and everyone just needs to decide whether to do it or not!

In fact, the Bulgarian government has no choice between the two paths in front of it.

There is no free lunch in the world, how is it possible to get benefits without paying a price?

The Russians have fought with the Turks for more than two hundred years for the Bosphorus Strait, and now they will support Bulgaria to win Constantinople in vain, don't dream!

The strategy formulated by Ferdinand never hit Constantinople's idea from beginning to end. There is no way who calls the Bosphorus Strait, the lifeline for the Russians to enter the Mediterranean Sea?

Once you have mastered Constantinople, you have mastered the Bosphorus Strait, and of course the Dardanelles, which is also the main route for the Russians to enter the Mediterranean Sea.

Now the purpose of the Russians is obvious, while the British are busy competing with the Germans for South Africa and the French for North Africa, to seize the Black Sea Strait and control the Sea of ​​Marmara in their hands.

Once this strategic goal is completed, the Russians will be able to attack the Mediterranean Sea if they advance and defend, and they will be invincible in innate position!

If Bulgaria now rejects the Russian proposal, it will interrupt the Russian strategy in the Mediterranean, and the outcome is self-evident!

Likewise, the Russians' Mediterranean strategy was in the interests of the French. Only when the Russians enter the Mediterranean will they not concentrate their efforts on the Far East strategy, or even give up the Far East strategy, which will help ease the pressure on France on the European continent!

Bulgaria now has no choice, a hard work, a harvest!

In Ferdinand's view, the Russians have done a decent job this time. Although Bulgaria has paid a huge price this time, the benefits given are also huge!

Even if it is generous to others, Bulgaria can still get hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land including Istanbul, Macedonia, East Thrace, Albania, etc.!

In his opinion, all of this can be compromised. Anyway, after the world war, these rights will be returned to Bulgaria's hands. It is completely acceptable to exchange temporary compromise for Bulgaria's growth!

After a long silence, Prime Minister Konstantin sighed and said: "Everyone, we have no choice at all! By agreeing to the Russians' conditions, Great Bulgaria is basically completed, and the dream of generations is within us. Barely made it in hand!

As for the future, we can only take one step at a time. As long as Bulgaria is strong enough, none of this is a problem! "

It is clear that Prime Minister Konstantin is sane, not carried away by anger, and knows what is in the best interest of Bulgaria!

The conditions of the Russians are just stuck on the spot. The Bulgarian navy should call the coast police more appropriate, asking them to master the Sea of ​​Marmara is a complete joke!

In this case, it is better to leave it to the Russians. After all, if the ties between Europe and Asia of the Ottoman Empire are cut off, Bulgaria's odds of winning will also increase a lot.

As for the military ports on the territory in the future, it will be controlled by the Russians. It doesn't matter. Anyway, it is still the territory of the Turks.

This is equivalent to Bulgaria sending the army, and the Russians sending the navy to jointly attack the Ottoman Empire. After everyone divides the spoils, everyone does not have to worry about being called a traitor!

Following the Foreign Minister Metev, he also said: "The current international situation is very beneficial to us. The British are bound to win against South Africa, and the Germans are not willing to let go. They support the Boers and the British to fight in South Africa. And won the support of the European society, there will be no winner in a short time!

At the same time, because of the problems in Egypt, the British and the Turks were filthy, and aside from the Russian Empire, they also hoped that we could weaken the Ottoman Empire to protect their interests in Egypt.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire had a plan in the Balkans for a long time. They hoped to annex the Bosnia and Herzegovina region. Before, due to the strong resistance of the Turks and the opposition of the Russians, it has not been realized.

Oh, and now we have to add another Serbia, we can cooperate in this regard, and presumably the Russians are willing to make this deal with them!

As for other powers, they have limited power in the Balkans and are unable to interfere in our actions!

Moreover, it is still the weakest time for the Turks. The country is a mess, and the endless national uprisings are exhausting the last heritage of this old empire! "

Ferdinand was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the foreign minister, who usually doesn't show anything, is still a thorough hawk, and now he is starting to encourage everyone to do it.

And his proposal is exactly what Ferdinand needs now. He successfully diverted everyone's attention, and now many people are excited.

Of course, Ferdinand also knew that this was based on the premise that the core interests of Bulgaria were not damaged. Now Bulgaria is at a time when nationalism is on the rise, and everyone is unavoidably affected and attaches great importance to national interests.

However, Ferdinand interrupted everyone's unrealistic delusions.

"Okay, take your mind back! We are not ready at all, weapons and ammunition are still a pile of raw materials. Even if the opportunity is good, we can't learn from the Serbs, let the soldiers take a pile of scrap metal, just Go directly to the battlefield and die!"

With the negative teaching material of Serbia, Bulgaria is no longer popular with "courage to win". After all, Serbian soldiers are really heroic, but on the battlefield, they were not completely defeated by the Bulgarian army!

Everyone sighed to themselves that they missed a golden opportunity. However, Ferdinand disagreed. The domestic conflicts of the Ottoman Empire had a long history, and how could they be cleaned up in a short time.

The international situation does not change in a day or two. The value of South Africa is so great that it makes all Europe jealous, and the United Kingdom intends to kick the Germans out of their pockets and not block them. Is that still William II?

Even if the British can settle the Germans at a great price, what about the French, the Spanish, the Dutch...? It can't always be settled, can it? As long as there is the support of foreign powers, the Boers are not so easy to get!

Hasn't it been three years in history? This is still based on the premise that the British managed to settle the Germans, win over the Portuguese, and by the way, entrapped the Spaniards in the Spanish-American War, and won the support of the Americans.

Now? The Americans were still the vanguard of the anti-British movement. They didn't have the guts, but they sent volunteers to bring their own food to help the Boers.

Oh, historically, the U.S. government supported the British, but the people still donated money and materials and organized volunteers to help the British.
