Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Chapter 89, The Persian Problem

Genius to remember the address of this site in one second: (Top Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? "Your Majesty, the British government sent a note to the Foreign Office, protesting our actions in the Persian region!" Metev said cautiously

"Have we taken military action against the Persian government?" Ferdinand asked suspiciously

"Not yet!" Metev replied

"In that case, let's just restore the British, we have not taken unilateral military action, what can they protest?

Does Bulgaria conduct a military exercise on its own territory and report to them? "Ferdinand said calmly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Metev replied

There is nothing wrong, although it is preparing to take military action, but it is not a violation of the agreement until it is implemented.

Since the agreement has not been violated, what is there to explain?

...

London

Since Stanley Baldwin moved to Downing Street, his mood has not been better for a few days. Domestic workers are on strike, and Bulgaria, France, and Japan are all about to move internationally.

"Prime Minister, we must take decisive action to let the Bulgarians know that we are strong!" Chancellor Churchill said angrily

"Mr Churchill, what do you think we should do? A direct war with the Bulgarians?

With all due respect, with your level of military capability, I'm afraid you don't have the right to speak! ' retorted the Minister of State

This is not nonsense. As a mouth gun expert, the command ability in the military is infinitely equal to zero.

When commanding the navy, he was overwhelmed by the Germans' infinite submarine warfare. After he stepped down, the next Minister of the Navy quickly solved the problem.

When he was in command of the army, he also lost his soldiers and lost his generals. He almost became a prisoner himself. In fact, it was also the consequence of his actions against military orders. If it wasn't for his strong background, who pushed the blame to his superiors, he would have gone to a military court long ago.

In Stanley Baldwin's cabinet, Churchill, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, can be said to be out of place. He seems to have joined in order to bring down the power.

Many times they wondered if Churchill was an undercover agent sent by a rival to stumble them.

History has proven: yes!

It's just that it wasn't sent by someone else, he himself was sabotaging and creating conditions for himself to ascend. For example: commanding the army without authorization to suppress workers' strikes, resulting in very serious political consequences.

Then he patted his ass and walked away, and the Stanley Baldwin government had to deal with the aftermath. Stanley was only a few months into his first term as prime minister before he stepped down.

Before becoming prime minister, Churchill had at least three cabinets, which can be said to have brought the talent of politicians to the extreme.

"Why is the British Empire still afraid of a little Bulgaria? If we don't take action, won't the outside world think that our British Empire has fallen, and that all cats and dogs can come and step on it?" Churchill said with a sneer.

"The problem is that the Bulgarians did not violate our agreement, as it stands, they are just trying to intimidate the Persian government.

Is it really worth it if we go directly to Bulgaria for such a trivial matter?

Now the people do not want war to break out, and in the Persian region I also think that our army can win against Bulgaria! ' Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin thought for a moment and said

"Then we watch Bulgaria encroach on our sphere of influence and then follow Persia into India and take our India?" Churchill sneered.

"Mr. Churchill, I think you need to calm down. In less than a month, you have advocated military action against Japan, France, and the Russian Empire, and now you have added a Bulgaria. Are you a war lunatic? What?" Stanley Baldwin asked angrily.

It's not that Stanley has a bad temper. It is estimated that any leader will not have a good temper when he encounters a subordinate who wants to do things over and over again.

He would have kicked Churchill out of the cabinet long ago had it not been for mediating disputes within the party.

Churchill hated Bulgaria?

Do not!

For politicians, there is no need for hatred, only need and need! Now provoking a conflict between the British and the Bulgarian is conducive to gaining political capital for him, and he hates Bulgaria.

Likewise, so he advocates being tough on France and Japan, as well.

Stanley Baldwin was already the leader of the moderates, followed by Chamberlain, who had to be the leader of the hard-liners if Churchill wanted to rise to power.

They were destined to become political enemies from the very beginning, and the relationship between the two sides is naturally not much better, and it is normal to destroy each other.

"If that's the case, then let's continue this meeting. I, the war lunatic, should leave first!"

Churchill finished his sentence with a sneer, then turned and walked away, without the slightest intention of taking the crowd into consideration.

In this regard, Stanley Baldwin has been taken aback by it. Anyway, he has already made up his mind to find an opportunity to kick him out of the cabinet. Naturally, he is too lazy to pay attention.

"Okay, damn it, let's continue the meeting just now!" Stanley said with a wave of his hand

"Mr. Prime Minister, I suggest negotiating directly with the Bulgarians, demarcating the sphere of influence through a clear treaty, or directly carve up the Persian region!" Minister of State Chamberlain suggested.

"This is a good way. Since the Bulgarians did not directly attack the Persian region, it means that they do not intend to directly turn against us.

There is a lot of room for us to operate, and there is no need for direct military confrontation. Fighting and killing all day long cannot solve the problem! ' echoed the Minister of War.

Fighting a war with Bulgaria in the Persian region, isn't this courting death?

The British Army is not the Royal Navy and has the confidence to fight any country. In an era when the anti-war ideology of the whole people is spreading, it is better not to fight without fighting, even if it is only a local war.

As the leader of the moderates, the cabinet led by Stanley Baldwin was naturally dominated by the moderates. Now that the British Empire is full, it is naturally impossible to take risks.

Don't watch Churchill keep his mouth shut, take action. If he were Prime Minister now, he would probably make the same decision as Stanley.

How can there be less conflicts between countries? If there is a direct military confrontation or a battle because of a little conflict, then the British Empire will not be able to reach its current position and would have died on the way.

What are the consequences of a full-scale war with Bulgaria now? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that in addition to losing both sides, is there a second outcome?

The First World War has educated politicians all over the world, whether the war is very cruel, just look at the Russian Empire, it is obviously a victorious country, but unfortunately it does not seem to be any different from the defeated country.

Even France just won the face. The huge war indemnity cannot make up for their loss of strength. You must know that the comprehensive national strength of the French before the outbreak of the war was at least half that of the British, and now even one-third is Not anymore.

...

The controversy in London quickly reached Ferdinand, which did not surprise him.

In his previous life, he also heard a lot of rumors that Churchill was an American spy.

Even in this time and space, it is impossible to confirm the authenticity of the news, but Churchill's opposition to attacking the United States is indeed true, but he is alone.

Ferdinand was more willing to believe that the Americans had bought Churchill at a great price, or seized on him and threatened him to make certain decisions.

After all, Churchill's policy of making wedding dresses for the United States is too much, to an unacceptable level, and it is easy to misunderstand that Americans have raised his status so high in later generations.

As a gravedigger of the British Empire, how can it be worthy of such a high evaluation? This is obviously abnormal, a loser has become the greatest prime minister in British history, is this a joke of history?
