Bulgarian Empire

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements!? Dear Grand Duke Mikhail, I welcome you on behalf of all the people of Bulgaria! Megev said politely

Thank you! Nice to see you again, Marquis Megeve! Mikhail said with a smile

(Mikhail's full name: Mikhail Alexandrovich, the younger brother of Nicholas II, Nicholas II passed the throne to him after the February Revolution, but was rejected by him, so Romanov The dynasty perished, and the refusal to the throne still did not escape the catastrophe, and was wiped out by the **** next year.)

Long time no see, Marquis Sassonov! Megev continued to greet

He knew that the matter of the negotiation was still Sassonov, and the purpose of Grand Duke Mikhail's visit was only between the royal family, and he would not participate in the negotiation.

Indeed, old friend, we haven't seen each other for almost three years. Now you are the Marquis. Congratulations, Mr. Megev! Sassonov said in a personable manner

However, there is still a bit of jealousy in his eyes, and if nothing else happens, he is also responsible for this.

...

Mikhail's sudden visit surprised Ferdinand. Ferdinand didn't have a good impression of him, and they didn't have much contact with each other.

An unconventional rebel, Mikhail was not a very good figure in the royal family, and Ferdinand remembered Xenia falling out with him over his marriage.

It's nothing to break the tradition of nobles and commoners not intermarrying. The social atmosphere at that time has been opened up a lot, and Russia has allowed nobles and commoners to marry.

It's a pity that I took a woman who was divorced twice and had a bad private life. She was pregnant first before marriage, and it was not sure who the child would be. In this case, she got married.

Xenia persuaded him to calm down, at least to make sure that the child is his own, it is best to keep it outside, this is related to the face of the Romanov family.

Ferdinand didn't know how the process was going. He only knew that Queen Xenia, who was finally angry, broke away, and then Xenia didn't attend their wedding, and the two sides cut off communication since then.

But he didn't take responsibility, Ferdinand still knew about it.

After the outbreak of the February Revolution, the royalist party supported him as the new tsar, and Nicholas II also agreed to pass on the throne and take full responsibility. As a result, he came from the second class and wanted to hand over the decision-making power to the people. !

It directly caused the royalist party to fall apart. After all, such an emperor in the second grade has no future with him!

Despite his reluctance, Ferdinand held a welcome banquet for him, and Queen Xenia said that she was not free, and she wanted to hold a personal banquet, which was a very clear slap in the face.

Well, it's not easy for Ferdinand to intervene in the problems between their siblings.

However, since Mikhail got married, the couple usually did not appear in high-level noble banquets, and they probably got used to being ignored.

Ferdinand really didn't understand why Nicholas II sent him here. Even if he wanted to take the harem route, the Russian royal family was not alone, at least they had to send someone with a good relationship.

...

Mr. Sassonov, can we start? Megev asked with a smile

Of course, Mr. Megev, what does your country want, can you put forward the conditions? Sassonov asked

Unfortunately, I can't answer this question for you. In fact, Bulgaria has very limited interest in the territory of the Russian Empire, and there is nothing particularly interesting to us! Megev said righteously

Seeing Megev talking nonsense with his eyes open, Sassonov was too lazy to complain. If he was really not interested, would he still be on the negotiating table now?

Even Sassonov suspected that there was nothing particularly interesting. Does that mean that you are interested in all the places?

Thinking about it, he definitely wouldn't say it directly. We are all in the same industry, and we know that people are tough.

Okay then, we intend to sell the West Ukraine area, how about a price of 20 billion levs? Sassonov said pretending to be calm

Mr. Sassonov,

Are you sure you're not joking? West Ukraine is not worth that much money, and you have mortgaged Ukraine to the bank. Could it be that you want to sell two goods? Megev asked pretending to be surprised.

Of course not, Mr. Megev, you underestimate the Ukrainian region too much. You must know that there are still many mineral resources in this region... Sassonov explained

There are a lot of mineral resources, but there is no economic value for mining. What can we do with Western Ukraine now?

Are you farming? Do you think that the largest grain exporter in Europe will be short of grain? ’ interrupted Megeve.

This is not Medev's nonsense. Western Ukraine includes Bukovina and Carpathia? Parts of Ruthenia and Lviv, Przemyser, Koroya, and Stanislav.

Not all of these areas are in the hands of the Russians. Both Bulgaria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire control a part. In fact, the area controlled by the Russians is only hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.

All Megev didn't bother to ask, the specific scope of West Ukraine, no matter how much it increases, it won't increase too much.

In any case, the transaction price of the land this time must not be as high as the unit price of the last time. It has no strategic value. How can it be possible to ask Bulgaria to pay a high price?

At most, it is calculated according to the current land transaction price in the international taxi market. According to the prevailing price, the land in Ukraine is indeed very valuable. The problem is that everyone has an owner!

In Europe, land is privately owned. Now it is an age of peace, and you cannot move the owned land, so the value of it will naturally be greatly reduced.

It's a big deal that we add the Georgia region, so it's okay for the head office? Sassonov pretended to be angry.

That's good, we don't bother to talk about it anymore, how about 10,000 levs per square kilometer, as long as the land bordering us can be counted? Megeve thought for a while and said

Impossible, Mr. Megev, you are robbing! You must know the current domestic land price in your country, the price of one hectare of land is worth tens of thousands of levas! Sassonov retorted

It can't be calculated like this. The land in our country with a price of tens of thousands of levs is all good farmland that has been developed.

And this land transaction, we are not picky, whether it is a desert or a wasteland, the price is the same!

As for your fertile land and minerals, they already have owners. Even if we buy them, can we drive the owners away?

If you can drive away all the owners of the land, then we can directly calculate according to the area of ​​cultivated land, what do you think? ’ asked Megev

This is impossible, private property is sacrosanct!

But the price you gave is really too low, how about 100,000 levs per square kilometer so that everyone can accept it? Sassonov said righteously

Impossible. No one in the world dares to take over such a sky-high price. Why don't you ask the Austro-Hungarian Empire to see if they will accept your terms? Medev retorted.

Do you still want to ask this question? Of course not. If it was an option, the Austro-Hungarian Empire would happily accept the tens of thousands of square kilometers of land transactions.

But as long as the Austro-Hungarian government has no brains, it will not touch such a bundled packaged land transaction.

The ethnic issues in their country are already troublesome enough, and with the addition of some Slavs, the situation that the Austro-Hungarian Empire has finally stabilized will soon be turbulent again.

The most important thing is that they have no money. As the losers in the world war, the Austro-Hungarian government is also heavily in debt. If Britain and France did not need them to check and balance Bulgaria and the Russian Empire, it is estimated that they are not much better than Germany and Italy now.

How about 90,000 levs per square kilometer? Sassonov thought for a while and said

If the land is up to us to choose, 90,000 levs per square kilometer can still be considered! Megev replied without hesitation

It's impossible. If you let your country choose, you won't be able to buy 90,000 levs! Sassonov refused without hesitation.

Mr. Sassonov, you can calculate that the current land transaction price within the Russian Empire is less than 5,000 levs per hectare of land in your country.

And if you divide your country's cultivated land area by the country's land area, the ratio is less than one-thirtieth, then the value of the average square kilometer of cultivated land is more than 16,000 levs. In fact, the number is much higher, plus After a comprehensive calculation of Shangxiatian and Zhongtian, the cultivated land may not be worth 8,000 levs per square kilometer.

Then let’s calculate the mineral resources. Your country’s mineral resources are really rich, but they have little mining value. Divide the total value of your mineral resources by the land area, and the average price of mineral resources per square kilometer is about 1,000. Between Fu and 1500 Lev.

If you calculate your grassland and forest resources, the average value per square kilometer is less than 500 levs.

Calculated in this way, it is very reasonable for us to give an estimate of 10,000 Leva per square kilometer of land. This is the result of a comprehensive evaluation based on our actual situation! Medev said calmly.

Sassonov was dumbfounded, why didn't he know these materials, how to judge the authenticity, and how did Bulgaria get it?

Obviously he didn't know that it was Megev who secretly changed the concept, and these prices are the current prices in the Russian Empire.

During the war years, these real estates could not be effectively developed, so they were naturally worthless. The averaged data was naturally much lower than the actual value.

Otherwise, how is it possible that the entire Russian Empire is worth less than 300 billion levs, according to Bulgarian valuations?

If it is really so cheap, if you sell London now, you can buy half of the Russian Empire. In the next three to five years, London alone will be equivalent to the Russian Empire.

Mr. Megev, you can't calculate it like this. You have ignored human resources, factories, and urban municipal engineering. If you take all these factors into account, the final conclusion will be accurate! Sassonov said

Okay then, we're going to stop here for today's meeting, and we can continue the pleasant negotiation after you have made careful calculations! Megeve immediately terminated the negotiation

Anyway, it's enough to fool the Russians in. In the end, it's up to the Russians to lose or take advantage.

In order to achieve the ultimate goal, the issue of price is actually the best thing to discuss!

Well, I have accepted a lot of things today, let's calm down, think about it quietly, and talk about it tomorrow! Sassonov said with a sigh of relief
