Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Chapter 134, The Russian Threat Theory

Admiral Dante-Christoph is now looking at the Danube Plain. The domestic meaning is obvious, that is, to put a nail here to contain the Kingdom of Hungary. \u00261t;/p\u003e

But when it comes to actual operation, it is not so easy. It's terrifying to think about the amount of work to allocate land to millions of Romanians. \u00261t;/p\u003e

And there is not much time left for him, at least it must be completed before the end of the world war, otherwise it will be difficult to explain later. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Of course, this plain is still not part of the Kingdom of Hungary after the war, but Dante Kristof is still not sure! \u00261t;/p\u003e

After all, the bear's appetite has always been very good. In addition, they pushed Bulgaria to the front, and they have given up on Romania. It is not impossible to use Hungary as compensation in the future. \u00261t;/p\u003e

But it doesn't matter, anyway, the rich central Danube plain will become a poor mountain village in the future. \u00261t;/p\u003e

A large number of people on the ground will restrict the development of the local economy, unless the local government can develop industries in the local area and absorb the wealthy labor force. \u00261t;/p\u003e

However, this is all a matter of the future. Now that they have obtained their dream land, the Romanians have happily started spring plowing. Although it is a little less, hasn't the Bulgarian government promised permanent tax exemption? \u00261t;/p\u003e

As long as they don't pay taxes, the output of these lands will still be enough for them to live, and they will even be better off than in the country before! \u00261t;/p\u003e

This did not deceive them, the Bulgarian government does not collect their taxes, but it is difficult for other governments to say. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Gendarmerie Commander Laurent Well said with a wry smile: "Your Excellency Commander, this month we have dealt with 3,223 civil disputes, of which more than 90% are between Romanians and local aborigines. Conflict between!"\u00261t;/p\u003e

no way,

The sudden influx of so many immigrants will naturally snatch the living materials of the locals, and conflicts between the two sides are inevitable. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Before now, the army has almost become a local government. It is necessary to allocate land and housing to these immigrants, to maintain local law and order, and to have local civil disputes...\u00261t;/p\u003e

In line with the principle of professionalism, the work of mediating civil disputes naturally falls to the gendarmerie troops, who are all engaged in legal work. Although the troops are different from the local government, they are a little bit involved, so they can make do with it. . \u00261t;/p\u003e

In any case, the Bulgarian army will not stay here for long. It is enough to deal with the past first. The future problems will depend on which unfortunate government will take over. \u00261t;/p\u003e

But Za-Christoph sighed and said, "I see, you can decide, as long as you don't make a big mess, just let them go!"\u00261t;/p\u003e

Laurenwell said unwillingly: "Your Excellency Commander, are we really going to give up here? The Danube Plain is so rich, so the Romanians are so cheap?"\u00261t;/p\u003e

Dante Christophe said coldly: "What's cheap? There is no free lunch in the world. Romania was originally the second largest ethnic group in the Kingdom of Hungary, and now we have added so many people to them. The future Kingdom of Hungary There is a lot of fun!\u00261t;/p\u003e

If they are unlucky and let the hairy bear annex the Kingdom of Hungary, they will be even worse. There are only a few million people, but they are not qualified to negotiate conditions with the tsarist government! ”\u00261t;/p\u003e

In this era, everyone is very vengeful, and what will be paid for is blood debt. The best way to resolve the hatred is to find a new enemy for them. \u00261t;/p\u003e

This is what Ferdinand learned from the British. John Bull was able to traverse the world in the presence of enemies everywhere because they were good at provoking conflicts between countries. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Just like the current Romanians, before they immigrated to the Danube Plain, the enemies in their hearts were still Bulgarians and Russians, but when they moved in, their biggest enemies were the local aborigines. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Without him, there is a conflict of interest. For their own interests, they have to conflict with the local life, and this conflict cannot be resolved, because both parties must survive! \u00261t;/p\u003e

In this case, can they still care about Bulgaria, the great enemy of the country? Certainly some people will remember, but more people still have to choose to face the reality! \u00261t;/p\u003e

If someone studies Ferdinand's national policy, it will be found that Bulgaria has always avoided forming a deadly feud with the great powers, and the countries that have already forged a bloody feud are all over in this world war. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Dante Kristof is naturally clear about this strategy, and even he is one of the people responsible for the specific implementation. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Where are the Balkan countries of the past? \u00261t;/p\u003e

In addition to Bulgaria, the Greeks who were aware of current affairs moved directly to Africa, while Serbia, Montenegro, and Romania were all destroyed one after another. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Even the Ottoman Empire, which has always been the enemy of Bulgaria, is now doomed, and with their notorious international reputation, they will not find direct supporters in the future if they want to restore the country. \u00261t;/p\u003e

It has been hacked by European countries for hundreds of years, and now Bulgaria is completely expected to destroy the Ottoman Empire! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Historically, they still had Kemal's efforts, defeated the Greeks, and took advantage of the contradictions between the great powers to unify the whole country, but now it is definitely impossible. \u00261t;/p\u003e

After the end of the first war in history, they still retained a certain amount of strength and could bargain with the Allied countries. Even so, if they only hit a Greece, they all hurt their internal organs. This time it is obviously impossible. \u00261t;/p\u003e

If the Ottoman government still existed after the end of the World War, wouldn't Ferdinand be a waste? If it weren't for the convenience of post-war governance, the Ottoman Empire would have been over by now! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Lawrenceville continued to ask: "Your Excellency Commander, I still don't understand. Even if we annex the entire Hungarian Kingdom with our current strength, it is very likely to succeed. Why do we stop at the most critical moment?" \u00261t;/p\u003e

Not only Laurenwell can't figure this out, but there are many people in the Bulgarian army and government who can't understand why they don't continue to expand to the Kingdom of Hungary. Even if they can't eat it all, it is always possible to divide it up with the bear! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Now in Eastern Europe, as long as Bulgaria and Russia reach an agreement, they can achieve their goals. The influence of Britain and France in this region has dropped to a historical low. \u00261t;/p\u003e

In fact, Dante Christophe is still a staunch European faction. He himself advocates taking advantage of the opportunity of the World War to carve up the Austro-Hungarian Empire with the Russians. Anyway, even if Britain and France want to oppose them, there is nothing they can do. \u00261t;/p\u003e

However, as soon as Dante Kristof's idea was proposed, it was rejected by Ferdinand, and he threw out the "Russian threat theory", dispelling his unrealistic illusions. \u00261t;/p\u003e

After thinking about it, Dante Christophe decided to use the Russian threat theory to explain this question, after all, this is the most acceptable answer. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Have you considered what would happen if we divided the Austro-Hungarian Empire with the Russians?\u00261t;/p\u003e

The current Russian Empire is limited by industry, and their war potential cannot be fully realized. If we allow the Russians to obtain the industry of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and then obtain a part of the industry of the Germans, the day they will dominate Europe is not far away. ! \u00261t;/p\u003e

What kind of impact do you think the emergence of a hegemon in the European Big 6 will have on future exhibitions in Bulgaria? \u00261t;/p\u003e

Geopolitically speaking, we can tolerate the success of the French as the hegemon of the European 6 because of their limited population, it is impossible to unify the European 6. And they are so far away from us that the two sides have no core conflict of interest! \u00261t;/p\u003e

We can also tolerate the British to become the hegemons of Europe. Their core interests lie in the ocean, and they will not conflict with our core interests in the Big Six! \u00261t;/p\u003e

But the Russians can't, even though they have always been our best allies, but no one has a choice when it comes to national interests! ”\u00261t;/p\u003e

Laurenwell's face changed greatly, and he entered into contemplation. With the rise of Bulgaria, now everyone is unwilling to continue to be the younger brother of the Russians, especially after the end of the Eastern Front last year, which made everyone see the reality of the Russian Empire. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Before, there were pro-Russian factions clamoring for the two countries to unite to build a Slavic empire and then dominate the world together, but now it has disappeared. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Who told the Russians to do poorly in this world war? Many people even suspect that the Russians' military strength is not as good as Bulgaria's. After all, the Bulgarian army is also across Europe and Asia. It has never suffered a major defeat on the battlefield, which is enough to prove the strength of Bulgaria! \u00261t;/p\u003e

In this case, even the pro-Russian faction has changed its mind and is ready to come out and become the boss. \u00261t;/p\u003e

In this context, it is natural to limit the exhibition of the Russian Empire. \u00261t;/p\u003e

The more he thought about it, the more worried Laurenwell became. This meant that the day when the two countries parted ways was not far away, but he could not stop all this from happening, and no one could make concessions in the face of national interests. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Your Excellency Commander, I understand that from the long-term interests, we must protect the Austro-Hungarian Empire as much as possible, right?"\u00261t;/p\u003e

Dante Christophe would like to ask, what do you understand, I haven't finished my words yet? \u00261t;/p\u003e

But he still didn't say it, but said cooperatively: "Yes, a powerful Austro-Hungarian Empire can make it more difficult for the Russians to expand and buy us time to open the Asia Minor peninsula!\u00261t;/p\u003e

And restricting the expansion of the Russian Empire is not our family's business. Britain and France are the pioneers. We just need to beat the drums by the side! ”\u00261t;/p\u003e

This is also inevitable. The "Russian Threat Theory" has always been circulating in the European Big Six. Even after the outbreak of the World War, some people still raise it from time to time. \u00261t;/p\u003e

If this had nothing to do with John Bull, it would be a strange thing. The hatred between Britain and Russia is much smaller than that between Germany and France. Although most of them were provoked by the British, the Russians who controlled the Baltic Sea after the war were already theirs. One of the main challengers to world supremacy! \u00261t;/p\u003e

And the French want to dominate the European Big 6. Unfortunately, Russia has once again become a stumbling block. As soon as the world war ends, the Franco-Russian alliance will part ways. \u00261t;/p\u003e

This is also one of the main reasons why Bulgaria withdrew from this European Big 6 hegemony. The opponent is too strong, and it is impossible to roar with Bulgarian heritage. \u00261t;/p\u003e

After thinking that he understood all of this, Laurenwell was in a much better mood, because he saw a new opportunity. If Britain, France and Russia fought endlessly for the hegemony of the European Big 6 after the war, then Bulgaria's opportunity would not come. What? \u00261t;/p\u003e

Of course, Dante Christophe didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise he would definitely give him an ideological education class to wake him up! \u00261t;/p\u003e
