Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Chapter 124: Opening

Time flies, and as early as October, Bulgaria formed mercenaries and arrived in Southeast Asia one after another, temporarily staying in Java Island, the last stronghold of the Dutch.

The situation is not as bad as Ferdinand expected, and the Japanese are not charitable organizations. How can they really help Southeast Asians gain independence?

The Anglo-Dutch colonial government was driven away, but the internal conflicts of the rebel army also broke out. Can a regime that can only destroy but not build can develop and grow?

Obviously, this is impossible, so the dispute over the route became the fuse for the outbreak of internal conflicts in the rebel army.

People of insight advocate taking advantage of the rainy season to reorganize the rebel army, abolish the old and weak, resume production, and establish a country.

It's a pity that their right to speak is too low. Except for the establishment of a country, all their claims have been ignored.

The uprising army standing on the top of the mountain has quickly transformed into warlords. How could they give up the army for the power in their hands?

If it wasn't for the fact that the external threats hadn't completely disappeared, it wouldn't be surprising for them to have a civil war.

In addition, the main purpose of the Japanese is to cause chaos in Southeast Asia and force the British to retreat. They do not really want to help the locals establish an independent country. This is not in their interest!

From an economic point of view, the huge military expenditures spent by the London government on Southeast Asia will be difficult to recover from the local area within 20 to 30 years. If it weren't for the global strategic needs of the British Empire, they might have given up their Southeast Asian colonies.

If it suffers another disastrous defeat, the London government is likely to abandon Southeast Asia due to the pressure of the domestic anti-war faction.

In the eyes of the Japanese, it is not difficult to defeat the British. The consecutive victories have made them drift away, and they are waiting for the British to withdraw so that they can take the opportunity to occupy Southeast Asia.

If you consider it from a military point of view, if you delay the action for another year or a half, maybe the rebel army will fall apart due to internal fighting, and the rebellion can be easily suppressed by then.

Unfortunately, it is not allowed politically, neither the London government nor the Dutch government can tolerate the rebellion to continue, otherwise the opposition party will let them roll down.

"Your Majesty, judging from the current situation in South Asia, unless the Japanese government increases its support for the rebels, they will be suppressed within two to three years!" Chief of Staff Christopher Zou said with a frown

"Well, this is really bad for our next actions, but it is unrealistic to expect the British to be dragged down by an uprising, unless we can make the English rebel!" Ferdinand joked

This is really a joke, the English don't need to rebel, at most they will change the government, which has little effect on the current situation.

Now no matter who comes to power, it is impossible to change the basic national policy of the British Empire, which is determined by interests!

"Your Majesty, the English are rebelling, we have nothing to do, but the Irish are rebelling, so we can try!" Constantine thought for a while and said

"Don't, it's just a joke, it's better not to do such a shameless thing!

The conflict between us and the British has not risen to the point of life and death. If we take this step, we will not be able to turn back! "Ferdinand stopped immediately

It is easy to support the Irish rebellion, but the Irish rebellion must be successful! If you just organize a group of people to go to a demonstration and yell twice, what's the point?

The current Irish people's revolutionary enthusiasm is probably at the level of demonstrations, and it is probably impossible for them to fight to the end.

...

An episode has passed, and the eyes of the world have once again returned to the European continent. Compared with the rebellion in Southeast Asia, the separation of polar bears has a greater impact.

The ongoing king election meeting officially kicked off under the supervision of the League of Nations, and six kings were born at a time. Such a prosperous age has never appeared in the history of the world.

Countless people who eat melons are looking forward to see who can become the final winner.

Ferdinand, who already knew the result, also paid attention to the election result,

If the vote rate is too low, even if the general election is won by cheating, life will be difficult in the future!

"Your Majesty, the results of the parliamentary election of the Grand Duchy of Finland have come out. Prince Boris won the election with an approval rating of 86 percent!" said the intelligence chief Morka.

Ferdinand just nodded slightly. The approval rate seemed high, but in fact it was only passable.

In order to win, Ferdinand also used many unknown means, overwhelming publicity was indispensable, and coercion and temptation were also used.

It is estimated that countless Finns are now celebrating with their crowns. With Boris, the new Grand Duke from the Bulgarian royal family, they can be saved from war.

This is the credit of the publicity. Naturally, Ferdinand would not do anything about smearing competitors. The European aristocracy circles are all relatives, and competition belongs to competition. The bottom line cannot be broken.

But comparing the advantages of each candidate, the result is obvious.

Some people have an advantage in blood, some have an advantage in political influence, and some...

Boris' biggest competitor this time is the candidate of the Swedish royal family next door. Affected by geopolitics, if the Grand Duke of Finland comes from the Swedish royal family, it will help promote the relationship between the two countries.

Unfortunately, once Boris appeared, this advantage was not enough. As a product of the marriage between Bulgaria and Russia, his appearance immediately won the support of many people.

After all, although Finland has become independent, Western Russia next door has inherited the essence of the Russian Empire and is so powerful that it may come over one day.

With the strength of the Grand Duchy of Finland, no one is confident that they can block the attack of Western Russia alone. They don't necessarily have a large number of troops in terms of population. Such a gap in strength can no longer be made up by wisdom.

The appearance of Boris can just ease the relationship with Western Russia and obtain diplomatic support from Bulgaria, which is crucial to the Grand Duchy of Finland.

Don't forget, the title of Grand Duke of Finland is still worn on the head of Nicholas II. If people are unwilling to give up, even if they elect a king, they will not be able to legally ascend the throne!

Another point is that the political points brought by Ferdinand, the number one monarch in contemporary Europe, do not need much in the eyes of ordinary people. As long as he can inherit two or three points of his ability, he can be a good Duke of Finland.

After all, the situation in Finland is relatively simple. As long as the diplomatic relations with the West Russian Empire are properly handled, everything will be easy.

It is impossible for Sweden and Norway next door to invade Finland. Not everyone likes to be neighbors with Mao Xiong.

Ferdinand doubted that without him manipulating behind the scenes, Boris might have won the same victory, but whether the vote rate could get more than half is still a question.

After all, there are many candidates. In terms of bloodlines, if you open the family history and look up, you can always find the right of inheritance, but the source is too far away.

The Finns listed almost all the great nobles as candidates. The purpose was very clear. Of course, it was to build momentum, so as to find a king who could bring them benefits.

Boris may not be able to bring them economic benefits, but it can bring a sense of security to the Finnish people!

In the eyes of many people, with him as the Grand Duke of Finland, Finland will be free from the threat of war in the next few decades, which is more important than any benefit.

If Western Russia wants to annex Finland, it must first turn against the Bulgarian royal family. Now no one thinks that in the Ferdinand era, the Tsarist government dared to do so.

"Karina, inform Boris and let him get ready, the matter has been settled!" Ferdinand said slowly

Although the overall situation has been decided, it does not mean that Boris will go to Finland to become the Grand Duke soon, and it does not matter if it is delayed.

The powerful faction in Finland is not worth mentioning at all. They dare to play tricks, otherwise a bandit from West Russia will be able to wipe them all out.

The original Finnish rebel army was very unfortunate. When the revolution succeeded, they were brutally killed by the bandits who ran over from the next door.

Are these bandits still active on the border between the two countries? The revolutionaries, democrats, and republicans in the Grand Duchy of Finland have all suffered from their murderous hands, and what is left now is a feudal cancer.

As for these bandits, the reason why they were specifically targeted for attack is very simple. Of course, the tsarist government is retaliating!

They used their own efforts to create the independence of the Grand Duchy of Finland, but they harmed the interests of the tsarist nobles. Of course, the shameless tsarist government did not agree.

Forced by international public opinion, the tsar has no way to continue to enslave the Grand Duchy of Finland, but they can retaliate!

Now the three most important cities of Helsinki, Turku, and Espoo in the Grand Duchy of Finland have been looted by bandits three times.

These bandits are very moral, they only stare at the rich and rob, they do nothing to ordinary people, and they even open warehouses to release food from time to time, so everyone is too lazy to resist.

In short, before the tsarist government's revenge is completed, Grand Duke Boris will not succeed in the past, otherwise everyone will lose face.

Even if you want to go, you have to ask the Finn to come over crying and shouting, otherwise wouldn't it seem too cheap?
