Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 29, Peninsula Strategy

Although the Greek peninsula is now occupied by Bulgaria, the 17.8 million Greeks on the island and the 6.7 million Ottomans imprisoned by the Greeks need to be dealt with. If one is not handled properly, it may explode!

After all, Ferdinand paid great attention to the international image, and it was impossible to send all the Greeks to concentration camps, but the Greeks, whose nationalism was already deeply rooted, were obviously not so easy to integrate!

It took only one infantry division to defeat the Greek Bulgaria, and now Ferdinand has sent three infantry divisions to occupy the Greek peninsula!

This is still in the middle of negotiations, the Greeks do not yet know the purpose of Bulgaria, they also hope that the powers will put pressure on Bulgaria to withdraw from the Greek peninsula, and the resistance of the people is not very fierce.

After all, as early as ten years ago, the Ottoman army used the heads of four to five million Greeks to teach them a lesson. Resistance is fatal! In the last war, the hard bones were basically all dead!

Not long has passed, and everyone has not forgotten the horror of the Ottoman army, so they dare not provoke the Bulgarian army now, for fear of attracting another killing!

Even the two-year-old teenagers who were active in the past have quieted down. They have also experienced that era. They have left horrible memories in their hearts when they were children. Now they have been lured out again, and they are quietly hiding aside trembling !

Ferdinand knew that the Greeks were scared, but it didn't mean they didn't dare to resist. It's just that Bulgaria didn't challenge their bottom line, and the most important thing was that it didn't harm the core interests of interest groups!

But this will change soon. When the Greeks discover Ferdinand's true purpose, they will definitely not be ruled willingly. It will be a matter of time before they resist!

At this time, Ferdinand was having a headache about how to deal with the Greeks. After all, the conflict between Bulgaria and Greece could no longer be eased. It is better to eliminate this hidden danger earlier!

"Now that the Greek peninsula has also been included in our pocket, if there are no accidents in this negotiation, all countries will acquiesce in our annexation of the Greek peninsula, but how should the Greeks deal with it?

Do you have any suggestions, can you talk about it? "

The Minister of the Army, Mrs. Fu, took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, we can learn from what the Greeks did to the Ottomans before, and send them directly to concentration camps to contribute to the construction of Bulgaria!"

The Minister of the Navy Petrov added: "Your Majesty, opening overseas colonies now requires a lot of labor, so why not send them there!"

...

The military’s suggestion made Ferdinand roll his eyes. What a joke, there are quite a few Greeks. Although the Greek peninsula is only 1.78 million, there are many Greeks scattered all over the world. , Bulgaria's international image is all over!

Although the great powers of this era did not have any international image, Ferdinand still paid attention to the influence. At least after leaving the Near East, Bulgaria’s international image in various parts of the world was still good. He didn’t learn from the Italians, so he went everywhere. !

"What's your opinion, Prime Minister?" Ferdinand continued to ask.

Constantine thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the Greeks are very difficult to deal with. The best option is to send them all away, or even find a new place for them to build a country!

The only thing is that they cannot be kept on the Greek peninsula. This can be seen from the Serbia region ruled by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Even after suppressing the rebellion, the situation has not stabilized! "

Ferdinand nodded in satisfaction. This was the solution he wanted. How could someone else snore on the side of the couch!

"Well, that's right. As long as the Greeks stay on the Greek peninsula, they are a hidden danger. If you want long-term peace and stability, it's better to get rid of them! Let's think about what place is suitable for the Greeks, right?" Ferdinand expressed his attitude

Since Ferdinand's previous plan was to turn the Sea of ​​Marmara into an inner lake, he only planned to cede some islands to Greece, and did not consider dealing with the Greeks.

But later he thought about it carefully, and now it is very difficult to realize this strategy. At least the Russians do not want Bulgaria to control the Black Sea Strait. The St. Petersburg government is also very interested in this strait!

If it is co-managed by the two countries, then after the outbreak of the First World War, the Russians will be able to obtain enough supplies from the outside world. By that time, the Allied Powers will win the war ahead of time, and Bulgaria will have to face directly after the war. Tsarist Russia!

Thinking of this terrible result, Ferdinand felt horrible, so he temporarily gave up the strategy of expanding to the Asia Minor peninsula, and instead aimed at the Greek peninsula.

After all, for the sake of the Greek peninsula, Ferdinand began to make diplomatic preparations as early as more than ten years ago, and successively settled four of the six major European powers!

During the Russo-Japanese War, Ferdinand and Edward VII conducted insider transactions on the issue of the Greek Peninsula, and the two sides reached a consensus.

China and China have clearly designated the Greek Peninsula as Bulgaria's sphere of influence. Earlier in China, the Russians also promised to support Bulgaria's expansion in the Balkan Peninsula, including the Greek Peninsula.

Just reached a deal with the Italians again. After all, Tripoli is of high strategic value to the Italians, and it is not so easy to get it!

Oh, of course, in these transactions, Ferdinand did not directly tell anyone that Bulgaria will incorporate the Greek peninsula into its mainland, and those words may have to be considered again!

This is the core reason why Ferdinand was eager to get the Greeks away!

Anyway, as long as there are no Greeks on the Greek peninsula, no matter how dissatisfied the great powers are with Bulgaria's annexation of the Greek peninsula, they can only recognize it by pinching their noses!

Before that, the most important thing is to relocate some Greeks to leave, and then relocate some Bulgarians to enter. When the great powers appear, it will also create an established fact!

The world war is probably about to break out by then, and no one can care about the small problem of the Greek peninsula!

The Minister of the Army ** proposed: "Your Majesty, why don't you just use Libya! The most valuable port city, Tripoli, was given to the Italians. It is completely worthwhile to exchange the remaining oases in the coastal area for the Greek peninsula." !"

Naval Minister Petrov quickly objected: "No! Libya is our only overseas colony. If we just give up like this, where will we save face!

To resettle the Greeks, we can find a way on the Ottoman Empire. They want to keep the Asia Minor peninsula, so how can they do it without paying the price?

Just ask them to provide a piece of land and settle the Greeks, wouldn't it be enough? Anyway, the Ottoman Empire has a great career, and it won't waste much land to resettle such one or two million Greeks. It's just a small problem for them! "

...

Well, Ferdinand knew that the reason why the dispute was so fierce, in the final analysis, was a "sea-6 dispute"!

This is unavoidable for every big country. Although Bulgaria is a country with six powers, its unique geographical location requires it to have a large-scale navy!

This is a reality that every peninsula country has to face--Hai Lu must do it! It's just that the focus is different. In this regard, Spain, Italy and Bulgaria are facing similar situations!

Oh, and the French count too!

Considering the needs of future strategies, Ferdinand chose to support Petrov. After all, the voice of the Bulgarian navy is already very low now. If they are not given a reason to develop, Bulgaria will not even have a voice in the Mediterranean region in the future!

Once there is a conflict with a certain big country, they can directly block the Aegean Sea, so Bulgaria can't even think about developing!

Anyway, this time I have to take a bite out of the Ottoman Empire, whether it is compensation or cession of land, I simply leave the choice to the Ottoman Empire. If it is not possible, then consider Libya!
