Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 74, Another Deal

Looking at the current world war, Ferdinand could no longer find a familiar feeling. History has been changed beyond recognition by his butterfly effect, and the direction of the future has become increasingly blurred.

If there is no accident, the Battle of Verdun may start earlier, and the time of the World War has obviously been postponed!

While Ferdinand was meditating, the active Montenegro kingdom jumped out to make trouble again.

It may be that seeing that Romania was about to end, Nicholas I also knew the truth of his lips and teeth. He was worried that after Romania was over, it would be their turn next, so he took the initiative to launch an attack to contain Bulgaria's troops.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Montenegro launched a surprise attack on the Kosovo region last night, but was stopped by the defenders. This morning they launched an attack on the Albania region." The Chief of General Staff reported to Ferdinand

Ferdinand nodded. It is normal for the Kingdom of Montenegro to make some moves. As long as their small arms and legs dare to jump out now, once Bulgaria takes it seriously, it is estimated that Nicholas I will withdraw immediately.

Anyway, with the strength of the Kingdom of Montenegro, it is impossible to pose much threat to Bulgaria, so Ferdinand didn't bother to pay attention.

"How is the Romanian war going?" Ferdinand asked with concern.

The Chief of General Staff replied: "The progress was not very smooth, the Romanians resisted more fiercely than we imagined, and caused a lot of casualties to our troops.

Romanian nobles and capitalists fear that we will confiscate their property, so they spontaneously organize people to often attack our transportation lines.

However, all their resistance is in vain. If there is no accident, the Wallachia Plain will be in our pocket in at most half a month.

Now that we have completed the siege of Bucharest, the Romanian government has moved its capital to St. George's.

And the Russians also conquered Bacau. The Kingdom of Romania has actually lost half of its territory. Without the intervention of external forces, the Romanian government will have to go into exile in at most two months. "

Ferdinand nodded in satisfaction. As long as the strategic goal can be achieved, he doesn't care about some casualties. Anyway, most of the casualties are cannon fodder. At worst, pay a pension!

However, the tenacious resistance of the Romanians still worried him. This means that after this war, there will be blood feud between the two nations. Under this background, wanting to assimilate the Romanians is tantamount to nonsense!

Don't even think about Ferdinand, he knows that Bulgaria must have been hacked too much by the Romanian nobles, otherwise ordinary people wouldn't jump out and fight desperately with the Bulgarian army!

The rule of the Romanian government is not so harmonious. Peasant uprisings broke out every now and then. How could it be possible to achieve sincere unity with the government?

It's a pity that everyone's language and culture are different, otherwise it would be a waste of food to welcome Master Wang!

"Support the Leading Party, let their own people deal with their own people. And exile the whole family of those who have participated in the resistance to Syria!" Ferdinand thought for a while and said

The Minister of War Popov objected: "Your Majesty, the Ottoman Empire is now attacking the Syrian region. Our local troops are limited, and the Greek army organized on the spot has extremely limited combat effectiveness.

Get the Romanians over at this moment, they will definitely not be so peaceful, this will make it more difficult for us to rule! "

Ferdinand smiled slightly. Nowadays, most of the military chiefs are not very politically minded, and they often ask ridiculous questions. There is no way to do this.

For example, Popov climbed from an ordinary soldier to the high position of Minister of War, and his life can also be said to be open all the way.

In fact, his military life was not smooth before the age of 30. Even in the first Baosai War, he commanded the army to defeat the Serbs, and his military rank was still only a captain.

You can see how his political savvy is. If Ferdinand hadn't cultivated his cronies after he succeeded to the throne,

He caught up with the good times and stood out with his outstanding military command ability. Now he should retire in obscurity like in history.

Although his position was gradually rising, his political acumen still hadn't improved much, but Ferdinand never cared about these things.

In his opinion, loyalty comes first, followed by ability. And loyal and capable subordinates are hard to find, and some shortcomings can only be tolerated.

Ferdinand said calmly: "Haven't we already decided to abandon Syria? We will temporarily abandon Syria when the last group of immigrants from the Greek peninsula arrive. Do you still need to worry about the restlessness of the Romanians?"

After finishing speaking, Ferdinand thought of the Black Sea Strait again. Since the outbreak of the World War, the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus have been blocked.

The Ottomans who shouted earth-shattering slogans did not foolishly attack Constantinople. In addition to blocking the strait with shore artillery, they also dropped mines into the strait from time to time.

This is completely different from the Turkey in Ferdinand's image. It is also because of this that Bulgaria's landing operations on the Asia Minor peninsula have not yet started.

However, this time will not last long. The Russians have already had two rounds of pk with the Ottomans in the Caucasus region. The St. Petersburg government has repeatedly urged Bulgaria to send troops to the Asia Minor peninsula.

Popov thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, if that's the case, why don't we get more Romanians to go there?

A large number of ships from the Allies pass through the Suez Canal every day. Anyway, most of their return trips are empty. Let's coordinate and let them take a detour and help us pick up some people. Isn't it a problem? "

One word awakens the dreamer! The reason why Bulgaria did not progress fast enough to send the Greeks was entirely due to insufficient transportation capacity.

Bulgaria's shipping capacity is limited, but the shipping capacity of the Allies is large enough! Anyway, they are all empty ships, let them travel hundreds of miles and earn an extra freight, presumably these capitalists will not refuse!

It doesn't need much, as long as one-fifth of the ships are willing to help take people, on average, tens of thousands of people can be packed and taken away every day. As for using a cargo ship to pull people, whether the conditions would be too bad, these were not in Ferdinand's consideration.

As long as these ships took people away from the Bulgarian port, he would pay, and Ferdinand would not ask whether they reached their destination.

If these capitalists are ruthless enough to pull them out as slaves and sell them, or even wipe them off, Ferdinand will pretend not to see them.

Anyway, it is now during the World War, and Bulgaria's supervision of foreign ships is not in place, which is completely excusable.

After thinking for a while, Ferdinand said, "Well, you're right! This is also a solution, so the battle with the Romanians doesn't have to end so quickly.

All the occupied areas will be under military control, and then they will be cleaned up one by one, and all the hostile elements will be packed and sent away by me!

In addition, the war against the Kingdom of Montenegro can also be started in advance, and this method can also be followed for the local people! "

Of course, this method is only effective in the sparsely populated Balkans. The mobilization of all countries is all soldiers, and basically every household has participated in the resistance. Ferdinand can also use this as an excuse to exile them.

If you encounter a country with a large population, you will be caught blind. Not only can't find a place to resettle them, but many people didn't directly participate in this war at all. You can't exile them for no reason, right?

Even if you don't care about the international public opinion in this era, you still have to abide by the basic rules in Europe, right?

The main reason why Russians have been rejected by European countries is that they have always been regarded as the endorsement of rule breakers by European countries. Ferdinand did not want Bulgaria to follow in their footsteps.

Fortunately, it is now during the World War, and the eyes of the whole world are focused on the battlefield. No one has noticed Bulgaria's small actions, and Ferdinand can still trade interests with the Allied Powers.

Don't the French need Bulgaria to launch an offensive in southern Italy to contain their forces? This is no problem! The Taranto army should not be in a hurry to withdraw, just stay and attract the Italians!

Don't the British need Bulgaria to send troops to defend the Suez Canal, this is no problem! Ferdinand said that Bulgaria will immediately send five divisions to deal with the small problems of the Ottomans!

It is almost enough to deal with Britain and France. In this era, the right to speak in the world is in their hands. Like Japan and the United States, they have no right to speak.

What's more, compared to the black history, these two have gone a hundred times more than what Bulgaria is doing now, so what qualifications do they have to criticize?

Well, Ferdinand still has too much of the concept of later generations. The Ottomans are engaging in genocide, and I haven’t seen what other countries have said, let alone Bulgaria’s exile of some "war criminals"?

For Britain and France, killing the Germans is the most important thing now. It has been more than three months since the outbreak of the war, and so far the two sides are still evenly divided.

The Allied Powers burned the flames of war to Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Germans also advanced the front to Verdun. There is no hope of victory in the short term.

In order to help the French defend the line of defense, the British army, which was not much in number, also sent 200,000 troops to quickly reinforce the Verdun battlefield.

At the same time, both Britain and France are forming a large number of colonial troops, ready to be pulled to the front as cannon fodder. In this context, they are all too busy to take care of themselves, who would care about the life and death of Romanians?

Didn't you see that the Romanian government didn't ask for help from the international community? But now that everyone is a warring country, it seems that even asking for help is useless!
