As soon as the war ended, the Bulgarian government got busy again, and the celebration banquet was indispensable.

But this time is a bit special. Everyone knows that Ferdinand has been in a bad mood recently because of the death of his mother, Princess Clementine. No one dares to harass him!

Therefore, he, the king, was not seen from the beginning to the end of this celebration, but this did not affect everyone's good mood.

Anyway, there are still so many rewards, and there will be no reduction in the slightest because of this!

Of course, the domestic newspapers still want to make a fuss about it. How can such a victory be enough for them to brag for more than half a year!

Anyway, from the king to the soldiers, workers, farmers, from the government to the army, from the collective to the individual, inside and out, the media will blow it up again! To satisfy the curiosity and vanity of the people!

Of course, Ferdinand is still the protagonist this time. As the greatest emperor in Bulgaria history, none of them, he has enough capital for people to admire!

Coupled with the fueling of public opinion, in the eyes of the Bulgarian people, Ferdinand is already a great existence second only to God, and he has been deified by man!

Oh, in fact, Ferdinand has recovered a long time ago. After all, Princess Clementine is over seventy years old, which is considered a long life in this era, and she passed away peacefully!

Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, and Ferdinand, who has been a man for two lives, can understand this better. After bidding farewell to Princess Clementine, he recovered.

It was just because he was too lazy to attend so many entertainments, so he used this as an excuse to express that he was in a bad mood.

Anyway, now that his reputation has reached the peak, it doesn't matter whether he goes or not, and he doesn't need to rely on these small tricks to buy people's hearts!

The West is different from the East. A Queen Mother like Princess Clementine has never participated in politics. Her death has little influence on the outside world.

If there is anything to say, it will deal a major blow to the royalist party in Orleans, France. One important member of the royal family will be missing, and the influence in the European continent will decline again!

However, these are all dispensable to Ferdinand, and he has no intention of supporting the restoration of the Orleans royal family. After all, the French Republic has been established for so many years, and the royalist party has been divided into several factions. How could the restoration be successful?

Oh, the most important thing is that after the death of Princess Clementine, the succession to the throne bid farewell to him. Naturally, Ferdinand would not join in foolishly!

...

In the Royal Palace of Sofia, Prime Minister Constantine was holding a thick stack of documents, and was happily introducing to Ferdinand, "Your Majesty, our cabinet plans to divide the Aegean Islands into four regions, namely

1. Crete and its affiliated islands are divided into the Crete region, supplemented by the port of Heraklion in Crete;

2. Islands such as Rhodes, Karpathos, South Sporades, Great Solavno, and Cunupia are divided into the Kalpa region, and the government is in the port of Karavarza on Rhodes ;

3. Islands such as Evia Island, Kikers Islands, and North Sporades Islands are divided into the Sith Region, and the house is in Skyros Island;

4. Islands such as Lesvos, Chios, and Lemnos are divided into the East Region, and the house is in Mytilene, Lesvos.

The island of Corfu in the Mediterranean Sea is directly divided into the Epirus region, and the Ionian Islands and the Peloponnese Peninsula are divided into a separate region - the Ionian region, which is located in Sparta. !

..."

Ferdinand pretended to listen carefully, but in fact he didn't know the names of many of the islands, let alone the specific situation on the islands.

Now Bulgaria can also be said to be a country of thousands of islands. The Aegean Sea is also known as the sea of ​​many islands. It is said that there are more than 6,000 islands. Of course, this number is not accurate, because many islands are short-lived, and they will be submerged by sea water tomorrow. !

But now in Bulgaria, there are more than 200 islands suitable for human habitation.

There are no less than 6,000 large and small islands, the largest Crete has an area of ​​8300 square kilometers, and the smallest may not be as big as a bed!

With so many islands, just remembering the names is a problem. Even if it is an island suitable for human habitation, Ferdinand has no way to remember it.

It is naturally a troublesome thing for the Bulgarian government to govern these places.

The division of administrative districts was obviously established by the government for the purpose of ruling. Ferdinand, who was not sure about the specific situation, simply handed it over to the cabinet!

"Well, let's divide it like this first! If you find it inappropriate in the future, just readjust it!" Ferdinand said lightly

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Constantine replied

"However, what about the residents on the island? Fortunately, the Ottomans said that the Turkish Al-Shabaab, which just came into power, wants to do something, and has already begun to extradite civilians!

The Greeks will be in trouble. If we move them all away, these islands will be deserted. Now the people in the country are not interested in living on the islands!

Even if we stepped up our publicity efforts and promised to provide housing and subsidies for immigrants, everyone is only interested in a few big islands, and most of the small islands have no signups at all! "

Ferdinand couldn't help but feel happy, the island that the rich will rush to buy first in the future has now become a hot potato!

Ferdinand thought for a while and said, "Forget it, as for small islands that don't have any special resources, let them go unused first! Anyway, we won't run away with long horns, so we just need to open some valuable islands!"

As for the Greeks, let’s find a way to let them leave. The Greek peninsula with a large population is not easy to act rashly for the time being, but there are thousands of people on these small islands, let’s get them away first!

According to the original plan, send them to Syria to be neighbors with the Ottomans. After all, the colony over there needs a lot of manpower now! "

Well, Ferdinand is cheating again. The First World War is coming soon, and the Ottoman Empire will definitely attack the Syrian region on a large scale.

With Bulgaria's current strength, it is difficult to resist the Ottoman invasion in Syria, so Ferdinand will not invest much resources there in the short term. Sending the Greeks there can be regarded as killing people with a knife!

Theoretically, the Greeks could also jointly occupy Syria with the Ottoman Empire and seize the Bulgarian colony.

However, this may only exist in theory. Just think about what happened to the Armenians and the changes in the distribution of the Greeks, and you will realize how cruel the ethnic cleansing carried out by the Ottoman Empire was during the First World War. !

Even Ferdinand's attitude towards overseas colonies was that if he could abide by the rules, he would give up if he couldn't keep it. After the war was over, he would go to regain the lost land.

Anyway, from the perspective of this era, the colonies in Bulgaria's hands are all rotten land, with little economic value. Apart from the lack of deserts, there is no boundary for what you want!

Constantine said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, isn't it too wasteful to do this? Can we wait for our immigrants to arrive before sending the Greeks away, so that no one will waste it for a long time..."

Ferdinand interrupted Constantine and said in an unquestionable tone, "No, we must pay attention to the image of the government, and some things should be done in advance!

The local residents will definitely not leave willingly. Now that we are still under military control over these islands, even if something happens, it is difficult for the outside world to know the specific information, and it will not work later!

Once order returns to normal, it will be difficult to keep secrets! You don't want the whole world to know that we're forcing Greeks into exile! "

That's right, exile! Compared with the Aegean region, Syria in this era is a poor country!

"Okay, Your Majesty! We will finish it as soon as possible, and strive to send all the residents of the island away before 1911!" Constantine said seriously
