Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 150, I was touched again

On July 8, 1917, the Allied forces captured Egenfelden in Germany. Before Dante Christoph had time to celebrate, the Germans came to the door.

A young officer walked up to Dante Kristoff and said, Your Excellency, the soldiers on the front line have just discovered a German major general. He asked to see you by name. He has something very important to tell you, and He also said that if you are a true nobleman, you must see him!

Dante Christoph was slightly taken aback. Could it be that the German on the opposite side wants to negotiate? This is not right, if it is a negotiation, it is impossible to be so fanciful?

Could it be surrender? This is even more impossible. They have held off the coalition forces for more than 20 days, and have suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties. Who will believe that they just give up like this?

This true nobleman made him even more furious. Well, who called him a self-made aristocrat? In layman's terms, without a hundred-year inheritance, you are ashamed to say that you are a real nobleman?

In the whole of Bulgaria, only King Ferdinand is considered a real nobleman, and the others are basically broke households!

There is no way to do this. Bulgaria has only been independent for decades. Where can I find a noble with inheritance? If so, where would it be Ferdinand's turn to be king?

Moreover, under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, even if there are nobles, they are still nobles of the Ottoman Empire, and European society will not recognize it!

But Dante Christoph would never admit that he was an outrageous household. He forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said, Bring that German major general here.

...

At the same time, Ferdinand in Sofia also received an accountability telegram from the Bavarian royal family asking him to hand over the body of Prince Leopold Maximilian Joseph Maria Arnulf .

Confused, Ferdinand greeted the Bavarian royal family in his heart, and planned to put on shoes for them to let them know that he is not easy to mess with!

Ferdinand sneered and said, Call back the King of Bavaria and ask him to make it clear that Prince Leopold Maximilian Joseph Maria Arnulf is dead, so what do I do?

If he doesn't have a reasonable explanation, then presumably he will welcome me when I visit him in Munich!

This is a naked threat + showing off. Of course, this is also a revenge for the Bavarian king's rudeness to him. After all, if Ferdinand holds a military parade in Munich, the Bavarian Kingdom will lose face!

Of course, this is based on the premise that the Germans were defeated. The defeated country has no face!

Well, the dazed Ferdinand was calculated in this way. Anyway, the tougher he behaves now, the more he will be wronged later! No way, who said this is the European continent?

In principle, everyone has a tradition of not killing nobles. No, it should be that nobles cannot be killed without reason. In principle, nobles are not killed on the battlefield!

This is one of the so-called aristocratic spirits. If you look at European history, you will find that many people would rather breed tigers than harm the aristocratic demeanor, and you will know how influential this culture is.

Killing a prince on the battlefield is not a trivial matter. Of course, if there is a principle, it is estimated that the King of Bavaria may not mind going to the battlefield to die in person!

In this case, the influence will be even greater, and the Bavarian royal family can use the sympathy points from the outside world to escape punishment. Now that only a prince has died, this score is probably not high enough!

Of course, if Ferdinand behaves too much, the more sympathy points they can get! On the contrary, if Ferdinand does not want to be the stepping stone and bear the name of arrogance, then he will find a way to make up for it later, or let the Bavarian royal family shut up!

...

After figuring out the situation, Dante Christophe started to have a headache. The Germans really had a good time, knowing that now they are asking for Leopold Maximilian Joseph Maria The body of Prince Arnulf is stalling for time,

But he can't refuse!

Killed a prince in the defeat, no one would blame them for this, no one can blame the guns without eyes, but if someone asks for the body, you can't refuse!

This is related to the image of Ferdinand in Europe for a long time. Annexation of countries like Bulgaria is usually very resisted in European society.

In order to reverse these adverse effects, Ferdinand had to create for himself an image of a king that conformed to the standards of mainstream society. Simply put, he had a good moral cultivation, and his behavior must also conform to the aristocratic spirit!

So far, Ferdinand has done a good job and has a high reputation among the European royal families, but there are advantages and disadvantages. While bringing a good image, Bulgaria has to restrain itself in its actions.

This is why Marshal Leopold Maximilian Joseph Maria Arnulf dared to make such blatant calculations. If he was facing a bear, all his calculations would be in vain !

Dante-Christoph tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and on the surface he said gracefully, We are very sorry for the matter of Marshal Leopold Maximilian Joseph Maria Arnulf. Pity!

He is a true nobleman and our role model. We will try our best to cooperate with him in his death. You can send a team of less than 10,000 people to welcome his body back!

It's a pity that the Germans on the opposite side didn't buy it, and they still insisted, Thank you! I want to see the prince's body, can I?

Dante Christophe only felt a toothache, and the original purpose was to beat him back as soon as possible, and then send someone to find the body of Marshal Leopold, give him treatment in line with his status, and return it to the Germans.

Unexpectedly, the Germans were still relentless. If they didn't know that they were being fooled, Dante Christoph would be in vain. This was obviously aimed at him.

Now that he knew that the visitor was not kind, Dante Christophe didn't need to be polite to him, and said coldly, What is your identity? What is your relationship with the marshal?

The German military officer replied calmly, Major General of the Army of the German Empire, full name Count Houston-Maximilian Joseph Maria-Victor, the late prince is my uncle.

Dante-Christoph feels that he is in big trouble. It is obvious that the Germans are ready. Even the representatives sent here are members of the royal family of Bavaria. I don’t know, anyway, being a family representative is enough.

Well, it can be seen from the dialogue between the two parties that the focus of the dispute is that Dante Christophe used the word Marshal, while the Earl of Houston used the word Prince. The meanings of Marshal and Prince are completely different.

If the marshal appeared as a soldier, it would be much easier to handle. There is nothing to say about the blood of soldiers on the battlefield; but the prince appeared as a nobleman, and if everyone died, he would be the winner. Are you treated?

But now that Dante Christophe has not even found the body, it is easy to be accused, and it will be considered a lack of aristocratic demeanor!

Of course, Dante-Christoph's personal aristocratic demeanor will be gone if it is gone. The big deal is that he cannot integrate into the European aristocratic circle. Anyway, Bulgaria is also a self-contained system, and it will not affect his life.

But being attracted to the king by someone with a heart, it would be a big trouble, and this would rise to the national image of Bulgaria!

Dante-Christopher had to patiently explain, I'm sorry, we haven't found the remains of your uncle, Earl of Houston, and I can't even guarantee whether they still exist. I hope you can understand!

Of course, there is also a bit of threat in it, the meaning is obvious, if you are in a hurry, just shoot and break up, I will simply not admit that he died on the battlefield, anyway, you can't produce evidence, you have to talk about it Just pull it slowly!

Of course, the consequence of doing this is that everyone has become an eternal enemy, and it will still have a negative impact on Bulgaria, but it is better than being threatened all the time!

After hearing what Dante Christopher said, Major General Houston also had to restrain his arrogance. What if he came here just to turn his face?

Now that he is here on behalf of the Bavarian royal family, the main purpose is not for profit. If it is just for enmity, he is not crazy!

If Bulgaria is really in a hurry, once Germany is defeated and they directly abolish the Bavarian royal family in the name of war crimes, don't they even have a place to cry?

Okay, Your Excellency Commander! But I hope you can find my uncle's body as soon as possible, this is very important to us!

Dante-Christoff smiled slightly and said, Count Houston, I don't think your purpose of coming here is so simple? If it's convenient, I think everyone can talk straight to the point, which may be beneficial to everyone!

Houston was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that Dante Christoph would directly pierce the paper on the window, but he immediately reacted and said cautiously, Your Excellency, I think the Bavarian royal family has already contacted the Bulgarian royal family about this issue. Already!

Dante-Christoph nodded. Now that the higher-ups had already started to contact him, he stopped asking questions. After all, Sofia still has the right to decide on this matter!

Well then, I have another question to trouble you. We are not familiar with Marshal Leopold. I'm afraid you need to identify the remains yourself! Dante Christophe said sinisterly.

Obviously, this is not a good job, even if you know his approximate location, it is not so easy to find the corpse among the dead!

What's more important is that it is already summer, if the corpse is not disposed of quickly, it will soon rot!

Facing Dante Christophe's request, Houston knew that he could not refuse, so he could only say with a wry smile, Okay, but I'm afraid I'm too busy alone, I'll send a telegram back to Ruprecht The Crown Prince will send someone over to look for it together!

Apparently he wasn't stupid, so he might as well find some more people and let everyone suffer together.

Dante-Christopher agreed after thinking about it. Anyway, he is not afraid of the enemy playing tricks! If the enemy could not follow the rules and launch a surprise attack, he would naturally be able to not follow the rules, and then Leopold would die in vain!

...

After receiving the call back from the Bavarian royal family, Ferdinand felt ill for a moment. Isn't this the legendary Pengci?

In his previous life, he heard a lot about it, and it has developed into an industry, many people make a living by touching porcelain. It is to take advantage of people's sympathy for the weak, deliberately create accidents and blackmail!

Of course, the Bavarian royal family will definitely not play such a low-end game. It is true that a prince has died, and the pension of three melons and two dates can't be settled!

Of course, there is no such thing as blackmail. As long as the Bavarian royal family is not stupid, public opinion depends on who they are dealing with. For some people, it is a matter of face!

This incident involved more than just Bulgaria. The British, the French, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire were all involved. Anyway, the Allied Forces did it together, and everyone resisted the pressure of public opinion, but the coach was on the Bulgarian side. The pressure of public opinion is greater.

But these public opinion pressures are just that. If Ferdinand is shameless, the Bavarian royal family really has nothing to do with him!

Could it be that they expect someone to dare to stand up for them? It seems that the whole world can't find it now, can it suppress the existence of the four countries of Britain, France and Austria?

Ferdinand frowned and said, Come here, inform the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send someone to the Kingdom of Bavaria to attend Prince Leopold's funeral. By the way, let the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs tell the Bavarian royal family that Bulgaria can give up their responsibility for the war, but We also need to see their sincerity!

There is no need to bargain at all, Ferdinand knows the purpose of the Bavarian royal family, which is nothing more than to escape war crimes. If this matter can be used in exchange for Britain, France and the three countries to pursue their war crimes, this matter will be over!

Of course, if the King of Bavaria died on the battlefield himself, it is estimated that they would not even have to pay the war indemnity later, at least Ferdinand would not be ashamed to ask the dead for war indemnity!

But now they are a member of the German Empire, and the war reparations are counted on Germany. How to distribute them is their internal problem, no matter how they hide, they can't avoid it!

Unless they are willing to become independent, then it is estimated that the Allied Powers will be lenient. At least the French are happy to dismember the German Empire, and Ferdinand will not object, and will even support them to form a South German Federation!
