Mediterranean Hegemony Road

The collapse of the Second Pacific Fleet had a profound impact on the tsarist government. In addition to the military impact, the political impact was fatal.

Since the Black Sea Fleet has been buried in the Far East, the uprising of the officers and soldiers of the Black Sea Fleet in history naturally does not exist.

However, what should come will still come! The social contradictions suppressed by the tsarist government in Russia can no longer be suppressed! The dissatisfaction with the tsarist government from all walks of life has reached its peak!

On March 14, 1905, 12,000 workers at the Thirov factory in Petersburg went on strike to protest against the factory owners' arbitrary deduction of wages.

This move quickly caused a group to follow suit, and workers in other factories responded one after another. In just one week, the number of strikers reached 150,000!

On March 26, under the planning of someone with a heart, more than 100,000 workers gathered in the Hermitage Square and prepared to submit a petition to the Tsar.

Among them were the demands for freedom of speech and publication, the eight-hour workday, the ownership of land by farmers, and the convening of a Constituent Assembly.

Oh, the result was that the petition was not received by Nicholas II, and the military police directly suppressed the petitioning workers and caused thousands of casualties, which was called "Bloody Sunday" in history.

Ferdinand knew that the fuse of the Russian Revolution was coming!

He thought that under his butterfly effect, Bulgaria imported more than two million laborers from Russia, the class contradictions in Russia were eased, and the revolution would not break out.

Unexpectedly, the fuse of the revolution was only a few months later than in history, so the Russian revolution should also enter the countdown!

Ferdinand knew that Nicholas II was in big trouble this time. Judging from the intelligence collected by the intelligence department, this time it was an action jointly planned by the revolutionary party and capitalists, and even some people in the tsarist government participated in this conspiracy!

It's impossible to think that some people said that Nicholas II was stupid. He planned the workers' demonstration by himself, and sent the military and police to ambush and suppress it in advance, right?

As for the conditions put forward by the workers, it is even more ridiculous. The working class strikes and does not mention the issue of wages and treatment. Instead, they are more concerned about the constitution and freedom of speech. If there is an eight-hour work system to cover up the ugly, Ferdinand doubts who is fighting for this. rights and interests?

Is the quality of the Russian working class in this era so high? Ferdinand expressed doubts? A group of illiterate people can make so many demands that have obvious political implications, and are precisely the demands that the tsarist government cannot fulfill? How could this be possible if no one planned it?

The so-called military and police ambush suppression is even more nonsense. Even if you want to take action, you must start it in advance? Wait for hundreds of thousands to gather, and then act? Killing more than a thousand people and letting others go, isn't this waiting for them to rebel?

It is obvious that someone in the tsarist government is pushing the hand. They are not satisfied with the status quo. It seems that they intend to learn the British constitutional monarchy!

But Nicholas II's next treatment was to make frequent tricks. Don't hurry up to appease the workers, clean up the internal worms, and throw out a few scapegoats!

Instead, they stood on the side of the bourgeoisie and blindly suppressed the workers' movement, and in the end they lost the hearts of the people! To say that he is a reactionary tsar is really not wrong at all!

Oh, the internal problems of Russia, Ferdinand knew about it, but he had no intention of intervening. Instead, they took advantage of the Russians' internal chaos to fish in troubled waters.

Now that the factory is closed, those unscrupulous capitalists will naturally not pay wages. Many people are forced to commit crimes after losing their income.

The social security in Russia has begun to deteriorate sharply. Vicious incidents such as robbery and murder are constantly being staged in the streets and alleys every day. The lives of ordinary people are even more miserable!

In this case, Ferdinand is of course welcome, the society is unstable, and it is a good time to poach!

Those ordinary engineers are his targets for poaching this time. Anyway, they have a large base and are mixed in with ordinary workers. Under the background of the chaos, no one will notice that there are a few fewer people!

If conditions permit, he doesn't mind kidnapping a few scientists, anyway, they are all acting in the name of non-governmental organizations, and it is normal for companies to dig scripts from each other!

Not only that, due to the turmoil in Russia, the number of immigrants began to skyrocket, and Bulgaria, which has the same culture and customs, is their first choice!

Anyway, it's close enough, you can wait and see the situation, if you feel uncomfortable later, you can wait for the situation to stabilize before going back, just take it as a vacation!

At the same time, the spring of the Bulgarian industrial and commercial circles also came. Due to the suppression of the military and police, the strike movement soon swept the country.

And the tsarist government failed to take timely measures to appease the people and punish the culprits, which aggravated the contradiction and even triggered a violent revolution, which caused a fatal blow to Russia's industrial production!

It also created opportunities for the Bulgarian business community. Now the economic situation in Russia is not good, the life of ordinary people is not very easy, and cheap commodities have become their first choice!

If it's cheap, who can compare to Bulgaria now? All copycat goods, and there are tariff advantages! It may not be possible to achieve good quality, but the low price has been achieved by Ferdinand!

Now Russia's civilian commodity field is divided between Bulgaria and France. The French occupy the upper-middle market, while Bulgaria occupies the lower-middle market. The two are well-watered, and they work together to exclude third parties. join in!

After the revolution in Russia, it immediately attracted the attention of the whole world, especially the Japanese. The Japanese government thought that the opportunity was coming and was ready to take advantage of the fire.

Unfortunately, Nicholas II's reaction quickly gave them a head-on. "Federal indemnity"? Go dream, I will continue to fight!

Regardless of the fact that there are strikes everywhere in Russia and the chaos in the country, people can still barely supply the supplies on the front line!

The more than 400,000 Russian troops in the Far East are still fighting vigorously with the Japanese, and there is no sign of defeat!

Now the Bulgarian industry is like a part of the Russians. It is running at full capacity and making military supplies for them. Even if the supply is occasionally unavailable, Ferdinand will use the inventory to give them the first pad!

Then it was a tragedy for the Japanese government. Historically, most European countries hoped that the Russians would lose the war, and they were basically trying to hold back.

Even the French do not want the Russians to continue fighting with the Japanese, so their support for this war is very limited, and everyone is not very keen on exporting arms!

Of course, Ferdinand thinks that it is the small money that the French capitalists despise from exporting guns. Compared with loan sharks, what kind of gain is this?

Moreover, the Germans are always threatening the security of the French mainland. Just for the country's strategic security, why should the French government find a way to bring the Russians back? Compared with this, the insignificant profit of guns and guns is not worth mentioning!

This is the core factor that forced the tsarist government to make compromises with the Japanese. Even so, the tsarist government still negotiated with the attitude of not ceding land and not making indemnities, and it was successful!

Not to mention now, because of the Ferdinand Butterfly Effect, the scale of this uprising will be much smaller, and the revolution will soon be suppressed by the Tsarist government!

Although the strike continues, Bulgaria's nascent industrial system is giving them blood transfusions.

Not to mention how strong Bulgaria's industry is now, but compared to Japan, which has not yet fully industrialized, it still occupies a clear advantage, especially in the field of heavy industry!

The war lasted for 1906. After unremitting efforts, the Japanese army finally conquered Port Lushun, but they still had Liaoyang and Fengtian in front of them...

As the uprising was quickly extinguished, the domestic situation in Russia began to improve, and the tsarist government had more confidence to continue the war.

I took out an attitude that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and if you want to fight, just fight, anyway, I will not compromise!

Now both the British and the French desperately hope that Japan and Russia can stop the war, so that the Russians can take back their power and devote themselves to the European continent to suppress the rising Germans!

Unfortunately, the Russians did not buy it, and the tsarist government was worried that if it compromised with Japan, it would likely cause further turmoil in the domestic situation.

Therefore, even if the debt is high, the tsarist government will continue the war, trying to use time to bring down the Japanese!

The Tokyo government had to find a way to raise military funds for the Japanese again. At this time, the Tokyo government's finances were exhausted.

Even the colonies of North Korea and Taiwan were taken out as collateral by them and mortgaged to the consortium, but unfortunately it was not enough!

As in the same period in history, the Japanese government relied on loans and debts provided by the British and Americans to survive the day, but now the financial hole is even bigger!

In the parallel space-time Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese spent 1.8 billion yen in military spending (1 yen is about 0.75 grams of gold, or about 184 million pounds).

However, due to Ferdinand's butterfly effect, the Japanese military expenditure is almost reaching this figure, but the war is still going on!

Not only the Japanese government’s finances can’t stand it, but even the Russians’ finances are unhappy, with military spending of 1.7 billion rubles (1 ruble is about 0.774 grams of gold, or about 1.8 pounds).

On the surface it seems that the Russians have taken advantage of the lower military expenditures. In fact, the Tsarist government would rather spend more than the entire Pacific Fleet was wiped out! The navy is finished, and this part of the military expenditure will naturally be saved!

In addition, the weapons and ammunition imported by the Japanese government are all high-priced goods. In addition, due to the neutrality treaty, they have to go through a third country to change hands!

In contrast, the Russians are much better, at least Ferdinand didn't dare to take advantage of the fire, and settled at the international price before the war, which is a saving!

Unfortunately, the Russians have high shipping costs. In order to speed up the speed, they have to organize a lot of manpower to transport materials around the clock. Naturally, the price in the Far East is not cheap.

Oh, if it's just military spending in the Far East, the Russian government can still stand it. The key is the domestic revolutionary movement, which is fatal!

The economic losses to Russia caused by the strike movement all over the country are immeasurable. Many industries have been devastated, and now Russia's total industrial output is less than half of what it was before the war!

The mastermind behind all this, Ferdinand, is still the most loyal ally of the Russians!

From now on until now, the Bulgarian government has always stood by the Russians with a clear stand and has not wavered in the slightest!

It has to be said that politics is dark!
