Just when Ferdinand helped the Dutchman, something happened to the Russian next door.

Since the sale of the Caucasus region, Nicholas II's government has enough money in its hands, and then happily launched a unification war. The situation is very good.

All the way gods should kill gods, Buddhas block and kill Buddhas!

Nicholas II's army has conquered Yekaterinburg, and the little Tsar Nicholas has already looked north in a hurry, and he only has to chase death and chase north to unify the country.

At this critical time, Nicholas II's army entered the Siberian Plain, and then the Ob River was flooded and the Seventh Army was flooded.

Ferdinand didn't know the specifics, but in short, the final result was that Comrade Stalin was better, blowing up the dam on the upper reaches of the Ob River, and reimbursed the main force of Nicholas II's eastward march.

Of course, as a price, millions of Russian people, together with more than 100,000 Eastern Russian troops, became funeral objects, and Wanli Ze Kingdom was born.

The losses have not yet been calculated, and the unification war launched by the Nicholas II government is now completely ruined.

The blow to Nicholas II's government in this battle was very fatal, and they were unable to start another war for at least ten years.

According to the information passed from inside Russia, Ferdinand knew that it would be the turn of the rebels to counterattack next. Once the flood receded, the offense and defense would be out of position.

Now the army in the hands of Nicholas II are all second- and third-line troops. There are not many main forces left, and there are still very serious morale problems.

Ferdinand was skeptical that a new Soviet Union would once again emerge over Bulgaria if he did not intervene.

The government of Tsar Nicholas Jr. has been crippled, and the government of Nicholas II has also suffered heavy losses. No one thought that the final winner would be Comrade Stalin who was lurking in Siberia.

"Tell me about the current situation in Russia, what should we do?" Ferdinand asked very depressed

"Your Majesty, we must intervene in the civil war. Now that the tsarist government is unable to unify the country, we absolutely cannot tolerate the birth of a Russian government that is hostile to Bulgaria!" Constantine said firmly

"I also know that we must intervene, but how should we intervene?" Ferdinand asked with a frown

"Your Majesty, convene a meeting of the League of Nations to call on all parties in Russia to cease fighting and use the actual demarcation line as the boundary to dismember the Russian Empire!" Constantine thought for a while and said

"I also know that this is the most beneficial plan for us at present, but the government of Nicholas II may not want us to intervene directly, and they still dream of unifying the country?

Once the Siberian government launches a counter-offensive, they will definitely lose the battle. It is estimated that it will be impossible to cease the war under the current conditions!

Can the current Nicholas II listen to our advice? ” Ferdinand said with a very headache

"Your Majesty, no matter what the Russians think, we have to do this. First inform Nicholas II of the current situation and suggest that he seek help from the League of Nations!

As for the plan to split the Russian Empire, we don't have to mention it now, and someone will bring it up when the truce is negotiated! ’ suggested Megeve

"Okay, let's do this! We will convey our intentions to the Russians. As for what choice Nicholas II makes, I'm afraid it's up to him!" Ferdinand said with a wry smile

This time it's really not that he wants to stab the Russians. It's that Nicholas II's government is too useless. Such an obvious advantage can be defeated. Who can blame this?

Is it too cruel to complain about the enemy?

When the two armies are fighting, as long as they can win, who cares about the means? This is no longer the age of chivalry in the Middle Ages, and the victor is not to be blamed!

If Nicholas II's government fails, it will be recorded in future history that the reactionary tsarist government blew up the dam in order to suppress the revolution. The flood washed away hundreds of thousands of revolutionary troops and displaced millions of innocent people!

Finally, a few more comments: how the tsarist government is anti-human and anti-society,

All these reactionary activities disappeared under the heroic and fearless struggle of the revolutionaries!

The final conclusion is: the unpopular tyranny will eventually be overthrown!

Well, these were all made up by Ferdinand, and he sent them to Nicholas II intact.

Even Ferdinand could guess how furious Nicholas II was after receiving this telegram, and then how powerless he was.

The long-term war has caused a discontinuity in the population of the Russian Empire. If someone conducts another national census, they will be surprised to find that the population of Russia is less than 100 million?

It is estimated that the Tsarist government did not discover this problem. Since the outbreak of the World War, the population of the Russian Empire has continued to decline.

Especially after the outbreak of the civil war, Russia's birth rate fell to the bottom. The biggest reason is that a large number of young and strong laborers have entered the army, and a large number of Russian women of the right age cannot find husbands.

And this population decline is still continuous. From 1915 to the present, the Russian Empire has actually lost a generation.

This is a vicious circle. According to the most optimistic estimates of the Bulgarian Population Agency, if the Russian Empire stops the war immediately, the domestic economy will return to normal levels.

The population of the Russian Empire will drop by ten percent in the next ten years, and by a quarter in the next twenty years.

This is caused by the current population structure of the Russian Empire. The Russian Empire has lost at least 15 million young and able-bodied men during the war that lasted more than ten years. Now, among the population aged 20 to 40, the ratio of males to females has dropped. It becomes 1:2.3.

Similarly, affected by the war, the birth rate has continued to decline in the past ten years, and the number of children aged 0-12 is less than 9% of the population, less than half of the normal proportion.

This means that the Russian Empire has entered an aging society. Although their average life expectancy is not long now, it is an indisputable fact that people in their fifties and sixties are becoming the main force of this country.

In this context, the feminist movement in the Russian Empire has also fallen into a trough. Although international feminist organizations believe that they should go to the forefront of the world, the result is just the opposite.

In the face of life and rights, many people have to compromise with reality.

St. Petersburg

After Nicholas II received Ferdinand's telegram, he did not show any rage. A series of bad news had exhausted his rage.

The sudden bad news had already knocked out his energy. Ferdinand suggested that he seek help from the League of Nations. In fact, Nicholas II was also very tempted.

What he needs most now is time. Even if an agreement cannot be reached at the League of Nations meeting, he can use the time of the armistice negotiations to regroup.

But what worries him the most is that the League of Nations will make the Russian Empire divided in a treaty.

The political influence brought by this is very deadly, enough to shake the foundation of his rule.

However, the reputation of the Russian Empire in the world is not very good. Even if European countries vote with their feet, they all support the splitting of the Russian Empire.

There is not much time left for Nicholas II, and he must bring everyone to the negotiating table before the enemy eats.

Bulgaria's attitude is very clear. Only when the League of Nations intervenes will they intervene in the Russian civil war. Otherwise, even as an ally, there is no reason to intervene in the allied civil war?

What would have happened without Bulgaria's support? You don't need to answer this question, you know that the result will be very unfavorable to the Tsarist government.

Since the news of the big defeat on the front line, Finland has been unstable, and the Russian capital has seen a revolutionary army again.

If the front line is defeated again, it will be difficult to keep these basic disks now. Even the supporters of Nicholas II, they cannot tolerate continuous failure.

Although Ferdinand's words were not pleasant to listen to, Nicholas II still recognized them, especially the most critical sentence - the Russian people's tolerance for the government has reached its limit. If the war continues, they will There was a riot.

"Prime Minister, if we ask the League of Nations for help now, how many countries will stand with us?" Nicholas II asked with great concern

"Your Majesty, we are the only legal government recognized by the international community. In theory, everyone will be on our side, but European countries do not want to see a powerful Russian Empire emerge, so they are likely to support the rebels!

To gain more support from the international community, we must make more diplomatic efforts, which will take time! "The Prime Minister thought for a while and said

"You mean, there is no country that is completely on our side now?" Nicholas II asked very depressed

"Your Majesty, these are issues left over from history. If we make some diplomatic efforts, we can still bring most of the countries over, provided there is no interference from major powers!" the Prime Minister explained

"Forget it, unless Britain and France can be persuaded to support us, it will be useless even if we pull all the European countries over!" Nicholas II thought for a while and said

Whether international support is important or not is not important, and in the end it depends on everyone's force.

Ferdinand's meaning was very clear. Now that the tsarist government was in a disadvantaged position, he suggested that the tsarist seek help from the League of Nations to end the war through negotiations.

After all, the so-called international treaties are just that. If the tsarist government becomes stronger in the future, it can also tear up the treaties and re-launch the unification war.

It's just that this is more difficult, and it has been criticized by the international community. During Nicholas II's lifetime, he probably didn't even want to see it.

"Your Majesty, the truce negotiations are now in our favor.

Although the rebels occupy three-quarters of the land of the Russian Empire, most of it is frozen soil. The territory we control now is the essence of the Russian Empire.

Economically, the areas under our control have always accounted for more than 65% of the Russian Empire's economy.

In terms of industry, the areas under our control account for more than 80% of the total industrial output of the Russian Empire.

In terms of population, the population of the area under our control accounts for 68.2% of the total population of the Russian Empire.

Although these data are all before the war, these ratios may change due to war factors, but we still have an advantage in terms of overall strength.

What we need most now is time. Once the war is over and the economy returns to normal, our recovery speed is definitely not comparable to that of the rebels! ’ the prime minister advised

Nicholas II glanced at everyone, and he knew from their expressions that everyone wanted to end the war first.

As those with vested interests, these people have already had their fill, and the most important thing now is to keep their pockets safe. If the fight continues and the people under their rule are forced to turn against each other, they will be finished.

Nicholas II had to consider the attitude of these interest classes. Without the support of these people, he would not be able to continue the war even if he wanted to.

"Well, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs submitted an application to the League of Nations, inviting all countries in the world to join forces to curb the spread of Bolshevism!" Nicholas II said helplessly

Apart from this reason for different ideologies, Nicholas II could never think of a reason to win the support of other countries.

The Bulgaria-Russia Alliance, which was once considered the greatest diplomatic achievement of the Russian Empire in the last century, has now become a stumbling block for the Russian Empire.

As long as this alliance is not disbanded for a day, it is impossible for Britain and France to relax their vigilance against the Russian Empire and give up their suppression.

If it weren't for the sudden outbreak of the civil war in the Russian Empire, it would not be the Bulgaria-Russia League now, but a Slavic federal empire that makes the world tremble.

This is also the greatest pain in Nicholas II's heart. He is only one step away from the largest empire in the world.

Therefore, he hated the rebels to the core. Even if these rebellions broke out a year or so later, the Slavic Federation Empire had already been established.

As long as the federal empire is established, any rebellion is just a cloud and can be easily suppressed.

It's a pity that there is no if in history. With the outbreak of the Russian rebellion and the leak of the secret agreement, all this disappeared.

Out of fear of the Slavic Federal Empire, Britain and France unanimously chose to suppress the Russian Empire, causing an imbalance in the power of Russia and Bulgaria.

Even if the Slavic Empire is established at this time, Bulgaria will be the main body. Can Nicholas II agree?

Obviously this is impossible!

Even if he doesn't care about personal gains and losses, the Russian people can't agree to it. They are used to being the boss and suddenly let them be the younger brothers. No one can bear the gap in their hearts?

The idea of ​​"dissolving the Bulgaria-Russian League" came to Nicholas II's mind more than once, but he never brought it up in the end.

The political influence of doing so is too great. From top to bottom, no strata of the Russian Empire want to disband the alliance, which is contrary to their interests.

You can't tell the public that in order to avoid the suppression of Britain and France, you should disband the Russia-Bulgaria Alliance, right?

If this is the reason, it is estimated that the Russian people will change to a tsar with a normal mind.

Britain and France have suppressed the Russian Empire, which has a history of hundreds of years. They were beaten by Britain and France in the Crimean War eighty or ninety years ago, and Bulgaria has not yet been born.

Now you tell them that as long as the Bulgaria-Russia alliance ceases to exist, or even the two countries become enemies, Britain and France will no longer suppress the Russian Empire. Who would believe it?

It is estimated that if this is said, it can be regarded as a neuropathy!

Britain and France's suppression is at most some small tricks, and it will not kill the Russian Empire, but turning against Russia can immediately end the tsarist government. This is the fact before us!

Whether you admit it or not, without Bulgaria to renew their lives, the tsarist government would have collapsed long ago, and the economies of the two countries would have been tied together long ago!

Everyone knows that the current economic pillar of the tsarist government is the export of mineral resources, and Bulgaria is the only importer of these resources.

It's not that they don't want to sell to others, they really can't find a buyer.

It turns out that they can still be sold to Italy and Germany. Since these two countries started OEMs for Britain and France, they have no interest in these mineral resources.

After Bulgaria purchased these mineral resources, it exported the industrial products produced to the Russians, which is equivalent to a cycle.

Coupled with the trade balance doctrine pursued by Ferdinand, even if the trade structure between Bulgaria and Russia is not reciprocal, it did not generate a large trade deficit.

This made the Russians very satisfied. This kind of balanced trade is the long-term solution, so even if Bulgaria's industrial and commercial products flooded Russian stores, it did not cause a fierce rebound from the Russians!

With balanced trade, wealth does not flow out, there is no economic plunder, and naturally there will be no disputes.

As a price, many minerals in Bulgaria have been sealed up, and the priority is to buy and use Russian minerals, which barely maintains this balance.

Of course, if there was no land transaction case, the arms trade would have broken this balance long ago. After all, such a sudden large order, Ferdinand would not be able to balance it.
