Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Chapter 149, the betrayal

Sofia Royal Palace, Ferdinand is holding a government ministerial meeting to discuss the economic transformation after the war. Chief of the General Staff Klosf suddenly broke into the conference room and said urgently: "Your Majesty, the Russians are probably going to die!"

Hearing this news, everyone's face changed greatly. They didn't need to care about the life and death of the Russians. Even if the Russians were finished, Bulgaria could take some advantage.

But that doesn't mean that they want the Russians to die soon! At least until the end of the World War! Of course, it is better to drag it on for another two or three years, and when Bulgaria has completed its economic transformation, Russia will be perfect!

Ferdinand was also a little surprised. It is estimated that no one knows more about the chaos in Russia than him. Even Nicholas II, the party concerned, does not have as much information as he does, but he did not say that the tsarist government will soon be over. Yes!

At least now the tsarist government still has the support of the Russian military. Although the bourgeoisie is fanning the flames and disrupting the economic order, they haven't risen up yet?

Ferdinand frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Ferdinand didn't think Klosf was aiming for nothing. If there was no major incident in Russia, how could he rush into the conference room?

Christoph took a long breath, and then replied: "Yesterday the Luftwaffe attacked the Russian army's material warehouse. The Russians suffered heavy losses, and they have asked us for help.

And their troops in Poland forced their way into the Austro-Hungarian Empire this morning, and are rushing to the Czech region. It is said that they want to join our troops and attack the Germans together! "

Ferdinand's brows became even tighter. The Russians sent the main force of the Polish region to the Czech region and decided that it was impossible to fight with the Bulgarian army. The tsarist government could not afford to lose that person!

Then the reason for them to make this decision is obvious. In the German sneak attack yesterday, they suffered heavy losses and could no longer attack the Germans independently!

But what kind of loss could make them so terrified? Apart from the lack of food,

Ferdinand couldn't find a more reasonable explanation!

After thinking about it, Ferdinand said: "Contact the Russians immediately to find out the specific situation, and let them report the number of troops coming over, just because we need to prepare logistical materials!"

"Yes!" Christoph replied

It is no wonder that Christoph felt that the Russians were about to die, and the country was in chaos. The logistics supply line had been interrupted for more than half a month, and now the material warehouse to the good front line was blown up again.

Once the Germans seized the opportunity and replicated last year's battle on the Eastern Front again, the Tsarist government was estimated to be doomed.

The reason why the Russian bourgeoisie has not yet revolted is because they are afraid of the army on the front line. Once this army is gone, or its vitality is severely damaged, will they still be afraid?

Without the tsarist government supported by the army, there is no longer any ability to suppress domestic forces, big or small!

Once the balance is broken, the Russian Empire will explode in an instant, and all kinds of bulls, snakes, ghosts and gods will jump out to do things.

It's not that Ferdinand looked down on Nicholas II, but his military ability and internal affairs ability are really scumbags. He can still control the Russian Empire in peacetime, but once it enters troubled times, it will not work.

Ferdinand sighed, and then said: "It seems that we need to make a new plan. You are all aware of the internal problems of the Russians. According to our previous estimates, the tsarist government has the support of the army. When the world war is over, they can solve the domestic chaos.

But it is different now. It is obvious that the anti-government forces in Russia have already hooked up with the Germans. Under their internal and external attacks, the tsarist government will not be able to support it for long!

In the next change, how should Bulgaria handle itself? How to take advantage of this opportunity to maximize profits? "

No matter how the relationship between Bulgaria and Russia is, interests are the core of countries. When it is time to take advantage of the fire, everyone will still not be soft-hearted.

Prime Minister Constantine said with a frown: "Your Majesty, the biggest problem now is the Russian army on the Eastern Front. As long as this army is kept, the Tsarist government can barely maintain its rule over the country!

But now that the capitalists in Russia have colluded with the Germans, I am afraid that the Russian army in the attack on East Prussia may encounter unexpected events.

Even if the Tsarist government threw the logistical pressure of the Russian army in Poland to us, they still have no way to guarantee the logistical supply of the Russian army in Lithuania.

But they can't move this unit, otherwise the Germans can drive straight into the St. Petersburg area, then the tsarist government will be finished! "

"Show me the map of Eastern Europe!" Ferdinand said unquestionably

As soon as the words fell, two attendants took out a huge map of Eastern Europe from behind, put it on the ground and slowly opened it.

Ferdinand said solemnly: "The chief of staff is going to mark the troop deployment of Germany and Russia on the Eastern Front."

Soon there were attendants, who took out the military flags that had been prepared and gave them to Christoph.

Christoph took over the flag and immediately found the corresponding position on the map, marking the deployment of German and Russian troops.

Ferdinand looked at the map carefully, and after a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "It's too late! If nothing else, the Germans are going to take a risk this time!"

Now that the war is over, the Germans' chances of winning have been reduced to the lowest point. At this time, even if there is only a slight chance, they will not give up.

If last year the Germans were fighting to win the war with their lone deep raid on St. Petersburg, now they are fighting for production!

The withdrawal of any of the four great powers of the Entente from the war is of great significance to the current German government.

But at this time, the Russians came to the door by themselves. With the cooperation of these leading parties, I am afraid that this time the Germans don't even need to prepare logistical supplies. Anyway, as long as they have money, these people will dare to sell!

Chekov said in disbelief: "Your Majesty, judging from the deployment of the Russian troops, they seem to have intentionally let the Germans raid St. Petersburg?"

Ferdinand said murderously: "The Russian noblemen are now ready to abandon the tsarist government!"

Undoubtedly, with the military's support for Nicholas II, the only group that can influence the deployment of the Russian army is the aristocracy.

Only they were able to silently leave a loophole in the defense line, and even many officers on the front line were kept in the dark. They might just think it was careless, or they were deliberately luring the enemy into the depths. !

After all, there are only more than 600,000 German troops left on the eastern front. Even if you add the hundreds of thousands of remnants from the southern front, there are only more than 700,000 troops.

And the total strength of the Russian army is four times that of them. Who would think that the Germans would dare to attack under such circumstances?

Don't they want to defend the homeland? If Germany raided St. Petersburg and the Russians raided Berlin, wouldn't it be a lose-lose for both sides?

Under normal circumstances, the Germans would not be so stupid! However, if someone cooperates, maybe?

Is the German Air Force really that powerful? Why can they bomb all the material warehouses? With the power of the capitalists alone, can they handle all these things?

Obviously this is extremely abnormal, but if there is the cooperation of the noble officers, it is not necessarily the case. It does not even need to be a high-level military officer. As long as there is the cooperation of the middle and lower-level officers, this plan can be completed!

It is more likely that these participants did not know that this was treason, and perhaps they thought it was just a struggle within the army, or that they were using "bitter tactics" to lure the enemy!

In this way, it is all concatenated!

No monarch can tolerate the betrayal of his own people, and Ferdinand is no exception. Although it was only Nicholas II who betrayed this time, this did not prevent him from being angry.

Ferdinand can accept the bourgeoisie's rebellion against Nicholas II and the revolutionary party's rebellion against Nicholas II, but now the aristocracy has also jumped out, which makes him intolerable.

Of course, he admitted that you, Nicholas II, have acted a little bit, especially condoning Rasputin's abusive acts, which really hurt the aristocrats. This is not to the point of having to betray it, right?

Thinking of this, Ferdinand suddenly understood that the Russian aristocracy and the bourgeoisie are not so clear-cut. Many of the big aristocratic industries are managed by puppets who have been pushed out, and they are hidden behind the scenes. It's a capitalist!

Nicholas II's great purge in St. Petersburg was clearly cutting their flesh! Although he didn't do anything to the nobles' industry on the bright side, it didn't mean that these people would appreciate it!

Then the loyalty of the Russian military to Nicholas II will also be questioned. If their interests are not damaged, it is estimated that everyone is still suitable for monarchs and ministers. If it is the part of the noble officers whose interests are damaged, it is difficult to say!

Well, the most difficult thing to determine in this world is the human heart, just think about the Chongzhen Dynasty in history. At the juncture of life and death, aren't the nobles of the Daming Kingdom digging the corner of the country?

Don't they know the consequences of doing so? But unable to extricate themselves in the face of interests, one by one became the gravediggers of the dynasty!

It is not surprising that the Russian nobles do this now. Their risks are not that great. Anyway, everyone here in Europe rarely kills nobles, but no matter how bad it is, they can still be rich!

Since the cost of crime is so low, it is not surprising to betray Nicholas II for profit, and it is no wonder that the February Revolution in history went so smoothly. It is entirely because Nicholas II has been unable to meet the needs of everyone's interests. Kick him off is inevitable!

I just don’t know if this time, the Russian aristocrats and capitalists will step into the latecomers in history and be stunned by the late Lenin!

Now Ferdinand understands a little bit, why after the establishment of the Soviet Republic, there is a big ban on killing, it is really impossible for these people not to kill!

Even after Stalin's major purges, he explained it well. If the power of these people is not completely eliminated, who can be the boss and can't sleep?

Foreign Minister Metev said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, should we remind the Russians?"

Ferdinand was silent, and now he didn't know whether it was better to let the situation in Russia continue to deteriorate, or to help Nicholas II stabilize the domestic situation.

Xiang Constantine suddenly said: "Your Majesty, a Russia that is in constant chaos is more beneficial to us!"

"Continued chaos?"

Ferdinand reacted at once. As far as the current situation is concerned, the world war is about to end. Most of the British and French who lost less in the war are going to interfere in the Russian Civil War!

So what could make Russia even more chaotic? The answer is: Civil War! Or a close civil war!

As the Bolshevik Party, which attracts hatred, their strength is not enough. After all, they have a lot of luck in history to win. The most important thing is that the existence of the Germans helped them block the gun!

But things are different now. Once the Intervention Army is established, Ferdinand knows where to stand even if he thinks about it!

In the case of the soaring strength of the intervening army, can the Soviet Union still be established? I really thought it was the Son of Destiny, hanging up?

Anyway, as far as Ferdinand knows, among all the revolutionary groups in Russia, the Bolshevik Party has indeed become the second largest party, but their foundation is very unstable, and they have not even had time to build up their own armed forces, and their party members are not enough. It's tens of thousands!

And compared with history, the St. Petersburg base camp is lost, or lost forever! Even if they occupied St. Petersburg, there is no way to get the full support of the local millions of people. They have changed to support the tsar!

In the face of a possible army of millions of interference, what will they use to fight?

...

In the end, Ferdinand decided to pretend that he didn't know anything, and Nicholas II would see his fate. In theory, as long as he was not unlucky or safe, even if it fell into the hands of the Germans, others would also If he won't kill the monarch, at most he will be forced to announce his withdrawal from the war!

These are all acceptable to Ferdinand. On the contrary, if Nicholas II reacts and kills the two or five young men in the army, he only needs to transfer 200,000 to 300,000 main troops from the front line. The situation can be stabilized immediately.

With the feces and urine of the capitalists, once they can't do anything, they will still resolutely withdraw!

Then introduce a bunch of scapegoats to quell the anger of Nicholas II, and this matter will pass!

So is the legendary October Revolution still possible? This is obviously intolerable. How can such an important historical event be less?

(Without the author, it would be over!)
