Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 80, Ferdinand's Ambition

The news of the signing of the "London Treaty" was sent back to Bulgaria, which immediately caused a national sensation.

Many newspapers have produced a series of special reports, and the details of the negotiations that had to be kept secret before have all been declassified at this moment.

Of course, Bulgaria's secret insider trading with various countries is not within the scope of disclosure.

On September 16, Ferdinand began his passionate speech in the Bulgarian National Assembly.

He denounced the brutal rule of the Ottoman Empire over the various ethnic groups in the Balkans, clarified the justice of Bulgaria in launching the Balkan War, and at the same time swore that Bulgaria would treat Macedonia, Thrace, Albania, Halkidiki Peninsula, Kosovo, and Constantine. Sovereignty of Dingbao... and other regions!

Oh, other things are not important, the key is to swear the sovereignty, you have to be fast, these days the integrity of the great powers is very low. What's more, there is an Italy that has just stepped into the threshold of the great powers and did not participate in the London negotiations!

After the "London Treaty" was signed, Bulgaria's territory jumped to 300,000 square kilometers, and its population exceeded 10 million. The most basic raw materials needed for industrialization, coal and iron ore, were all ready.

Ten years of hard work, flourishing!

The Balkan people worship heroes, and Ferdinand now needs to show his heroism to the world, especially to the Balkan nations who are about to join Bulgaria.

Ferdinand also intends to learn from Hitler's struggle, "one country, one nation, one doctrine, one government, one leader!"

No, get rid of one nation first, this thing can't be shouted, it will cause accidents!

"One country (Bulgaria), one king (Ferdinand), one government (Bulgarian government), one doctrine (statism)!"

Ferdinand's version of "Mein Kampf" was released in shock. Fortunately, Bulgaria was still a monarchy in the 19th century. He could call it whatever he wanted, and with his outstanding achievements, he would have a lot of supporters!

After the Balkan War, the signing of the "London Treaty" exposed the decadent nature of the Ottoman Empire to the world, and greatly encouraged the independence movements of ethnic minorities who had been oppressed by the Ottoman Empire for a long time.

The rule of the Ottoman Empire in Asia and Africa has also begun to crumble!

In order to consolidate its rule, the Sudanese government had to carry out a "top-down" reform.

Of course, Harim Pasha's main job now is to tear a piece of meat from the Greeks to make up for the loss of the Ottoman Empire.

What's more important is that he also needs this achievement personally, to wash away the stain of signing the "London Treaty", so as not to be punished by patriots as a national thief when he goes back!

"Greece, as the instigator of this war, must be punished. We demand that the Greek government withdraw from Crete immediately, pay 50 million pounds in war reparations, and cede the island of Evia.

Otherwise, we will no longer guarantee peace and stability on the Greek peninsula! "

Harim Pasha is not talking nonsense, since Ferdinand ordered the expulsion of some extremists into the Greek peninsula.

The situation on the peninsula is even more chaotic. If it weren't for the Ottoman army's pressure, it is estimated that it is not far from hell on earth.

Faced with Harim Pasha's threats, the Greek Prime Minister had an expression of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water. If you ask for money, you won't give it up, what do you want!

"The Greek government is peace-loving, and your country's flagrant war of aggression has destroyed the long-standing friendship between the two countries.

Now I advise your country to withdraw from the territory of Greece immediately, otherwise the Greek navy will block the coastline, and your country's army in Greece is already a turtle in the urn. If you continue to resist, it will be destroyed sooner or later! "

The Ottoman Empire miscalculated, and the current Greek government has already lost its pants!

George I was ready to declare the government bankrupt as soon as the war ended, and they simply did not have the financial resources to pay the reparations.

The ceded land government dare not! Now the reputation of the Greek government has dropped to the lowest point, or everyone is busy resisting the attack of the Ottoman army, George I resorted to the method of hatred transfer,

It is estimated that the government has been dismissed long ago.

Well, if you can't beat the Ottomans, the government is incompetent. If you cede the land and pay compensation, it will be the government's betrayal!

They have already worn the hat of an incompetent government, and they dare not touch the hat of a traitorous government no matter what!

So even if it is to protect itself now, the Greek government will never dare to back down!

No matter how intimidating and intimidating Harim Pasha is, the Greek government insists on letting the Ottoman army withdraw from the Greek mainland unconditionally, even Crete they refuse to let go!

The actions of the Greek government puzzled many people. Every time the Ottoman army stayed on the Greek peninsula, Greece suffered a greater loss. Why were the Greeks unwilling to compromise with them?

You must know that the daily expenses of the 100,000 troops eating, drinking, and sleeping are not a small sum. Coupled with the poor military discipline of the Ottoman army, the Greek peninsula has long been plagued by scourges. Why is the Greek government unwilling to compromise?

If it drags on, it is estimated that the Greek nation will be invaded by the Ottomans, and now the number of pregnant girls on the peninsula is increasing day by day!

Well, now that George I has suffered, nationalism is a double-edged sword.

Originally, he planned to use nationalism to defeat the Ottoman Empire, expand its territory, and realize the great idea of ​​​​establishing Great Greece.

As a result, Greece's strength is still too weak, and it is not possible to defeat the Ottomans by relying on a few experts and scholars who yell.

If Greece loses, it loses, and the Balkan Alliance still wins. With a member of the alliance, Greece can also become a victorious country and retreat completely!

It's a pity that when the big powers supported Greece to divide the spoils, Greek nationalism exploded, and immediately forced the government to make their demands, and share the spoils equally with Bulgaria!

Well, King George I agreed with kindness, but his family knew their own affairs, so they compressed the conditions, and tentatively proposed to ask for half of Macedonia and Albania.

It's a pity that Ferdinand didn't take Greece seriously at all, and simply used this excuse to dissolve the Balkan Union with Montenegro, and then the Greek government was dumbfounded!

The nationalists in Greece also collectively lost their voices! Why is there such an operation? Don't they know what Greece has done for the Union?

In any case, the two unscrupulous guys Ferdinand and Nicholas I still did it, and told the Greeks with practical actions-"The world does not revolve around you!"

After the defeat, the Greeks, under the guidance of George I, had concentrated their hatred on Bulgaria and Montenegro, but the Greek government got away smoothly.

Now, the Greek government naturally dare not make concessions, otherwise it will be difficult for them to get out!

Negotiations have come to an impasse again. All of this is in Ferdinand's calculations. Every time the Ottoman army stays on the Greek peninsula for one more day, the time for the Greeks to recover may be delayed for several months. Destruction is better than Easy to build!

From the start of the war to the present, at least 200,000 people have lost their lives in Greece, most of them young and old. This is definitely a catastrophic blow to a country with a population of only two million!

Now every day, there are still hundreds or thousands of Greeks in the Greek peninsula falling under the butcher knife of the Ottomans.

Coupled with the hundreds of thousands of mobs pouring in from Albania and Macedonia, these people also want to eat!

The Bulgarian army has blocked the border, and they can only make a living in Greece.

Greece is not a rich place. After feeding 100,000 Ottoman troops, the Greek people have no ability to support these hundreds of thousands of people!

It is self-evident what will happen later, the two sides will definitely have conflicts in order to eat.

Now that the Ottoman army is still maintaining order, Edhe Pasha has built a refugee camp for the sake of the same belief and provided them with relief food. The conflict between the two sides has not yet intensified!

However, the food of the Ottoman army was also forcibly collected from the Greek people. With so many mouths, the life of the Greek people will naturally be even more difficult!

The price of food on the Greek peninsula has broken through the sky. In order to survive, countless Greeks are forced to embark on the road of crime.

Vicious incidents such as murder, robbery, and rape are staged on the peninsula every day. Of course, these Ottomans don't care!

Ferdinand no longer cares about the future situation of the Greek peninsula. He has gone so far. If George I can still develop Greece, he will be the real son of destiny!

Compared with the Greeks, Montenegro's life is much easier, of course it is only relative! When harming the Greeks, Ferdinand did not forget to give them a wave.

It's just that the government of Montenegro still has a role to play. When it found something was wrong, it immediately blocked the border.

In addition to the addition of hundreds of thousands of Albanians in the new territory, their original homeland is still peaceful.

Oh, after all, Nicholas I was a soldier, and when it was time to be iron-blooded, he would never be soft-hearted! Directly captured this group of people into the concentration camp and contributed to the construction of Monte Negro!

Of course, the fish that slipped through the net is indispensable. Those who survived the catastrophe took over the mountains and became kings, and the grass became bandits, and they started very promising business without money!

Looking around, Ferdinand was surprised to find that they were all enemies! Could it be that this is the fate of the traversers—the enemy of the whole world?

No wonder the big powers did not insist on restricting Bulgaria. The Ottoman Empire, Greece, Monte Negro, and Romania are all enemies of Bulgaria.

In this environment, to restrict Bulgaria's development, they can push behind the scenes to form an anti-Bulgarian alliance to hinder Bulgaria's continued expansion!

This is why the Russians are so reassuring about Bulgaria. Without the support of the Russians, Bulgaria can't handle so many enemies! Does this count as unintentional insertion? Ferdinand thought to himself.

Things in the world are often so ironic.

The core reason why Bulgaria was able to eat so many cakes so smoothly this time was not because of Bulgaria's diplomatic efforts, but because Bulgaria had enough enemies!
