As the situation continues to change, the division of interests among allies must also be roughly determined to ensure that no major conflicts arise in their respective core interests.

Each ally must share a piece of meat according to their respective strengths, in order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, active participation and passive participation, the strength that can be exerted is completely different.

Don't worry about the position of the French. Before the British abandoned the Germans, they were Bulgaria's most staunch allies. Defeating the Germans is their main strategic goal right now.

As the first to drag the British into the war, the French will naturally be attacked by the British. The continuous bombing is the best proof.

However, compared with the hundreds of years of enmity between Britain and France, it seems nothing to add this bit of grievances. The French are too much in debt.

The French people are now working hard to defeat the two most important enemies at the same time, which is in line with public opinion.

Your Majesty, the French government has put forward two demands: first, the separation of Britain and Germany after the war; second, their ambitions for the British colonies! Foreign Secretary Coleman said

Where do the French want? Little Ferdinand asked with great concern.

Coleman replied: The French have many targets, all of which are good places, such as India, South Africa, Southeast Asia, Australia and other regions.

However, France proposed many places, but did not make specific requirements. It seems that they are only testing our attitude, and the real goal is still uncertain.

This is the most commonly used diplomatic method. No one will expose their bottom line at the beginning, except that splitting Britain and Germany is a well-known French strategic goal, and there is no need to keep it secret.

Then choose a colony for the French. It doesn't matter at all, but we can't give up the strategic location! Little Ferdinand said with a smile

Your Majesty, let the French go to America, Canada is a suitable bargaining chip! Chancellor Merkel suggested

The most obvious feature of Canada is that it is large enough, sparsely populated and rich in resources. Unfortunately, it is too far away from Bulgaria, making it difficult to control and becoming a tasteless place.

I'm afraid this won't work. Canada has already established an autonomous government. Even if they leave the British Empire, they can exist independently.

The French are not fools. Their strength is limited. It is easy to win the Canadian self-government government, but it is difficult to rule Canada! Coleman shook his head and said

Bulgaria has no interest in ruling Canada, let alone the French, even if it is a little closer, the cost of ruling is not something they can afford.

Maybe you can find it in Asia, such as part of the British Indian colony! Prime Minister Tolsky suggested

(Note: The Viceroyalty of India includes present-day India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Myanmar.)

No! India is the most elite part of the colonies of the British Empire. If we can get here, we will get great help financially! Chancellor Merkel hastily objected

The value of India is really too high, high enough to move anyone. Obtaining this region is enough to increase Bulgaria's comprehensive national strength by one level.

Up to now, it is very difficult to improve Bulgaria's overall national strength. India alone has such great value. Merkel's attitude is actually the concept of most people.

Torkis shook his head and said: Mr. Merkel, although India is good, it is not suitable for us. The local population is too large, which is not in line with our current national policy.

In this world, there are many valuable colonies, and our energy is not unlimited. It is impossible to occupy all of them. Now we have to make a choice.

With the rise of nationalism, the cost of ruling such a populous region is getting higher and higher, and it is only a matter of time before the colonial system collapses in the future.

For us, the first thing to occupy is a strategic location, such as the naval bases of the British all over the world, especially the islands.

Then the places with vast land, sparse population and rich resources are our goals. After occupying these areas, our energy is almost exhausted!

Colonial Secretary Donald said: But your Excellency, the one that can bring us benefits in the short term is precisely a rich and prosperous place like India with a large population.

As for the collapse of the colonial system in the future, this is not a matter of a day or two. The British can merge a large number of states in India for the convenience of rule, and we can also split them up because of the need for rule.

After splitting into small colonies, you can still tease the contradictions between them. It will not be so easy for them to fight for independence.

From an economic point of view, at least in the next 30 to 40 years, we will all be able to make money!

Bulgaria's colony has been in a state of loss for a long time, and even at the best of times, it can only achieve small profits.

Although the Colonial Department also held the title of a minister, it was only to show the outside world that Bulgaria attached great importance to the colony during the Ferdinand period. In fact, the Colonial Department has always been the department with the lowest voice in Bulgaria.

Among the high-level government officials who are obsessed with India, the Colonial Department is the most caring.

As long as the Indian region is taken down, the Colonial Department can immediately achieve a counterattack and become one of the most important departments in Bulgaria.

Their biggest supporters within the government are the Ministry of Finance and the military. Everyone has vested interests.

However, this is not in line with the national policy formulated by Ferdinand. In the long run, it is not in the interest of the royal family to occupy such a place that cannot be ruled forever.

When the colony is lost in the future, the emperor of that generation will become unlucky, and the royal family's prestige will be greatly damaged.

The British royal family in later generations has become a rubber stamp, which is directly related to the decline in the royal family's prestige caused by the collapse of the British Empire's colonial system.

In order to prevent problems before they happen, Ferdinand tried to avoid all this from happening, and Bulgaria's strategy has always been sparsely populated.

It's good to be able to eat it in this kind of place, even if you can't eat it and throw it away, no one will pay attention to it, and the influence caused is limited.

But places like India are different. The greater the benefits brought now, the greater the influence it will cause when it is lost in the future.

Naturally, it was impossible for little Ferdinand to only care about his immediate interests and ignore the troubles he would bring to future generations. Naturally, someone had to come out to prevent this from happening.

Tolsky said calmly: Mr. Donald, Bulgaria's financial situation is good, and the little economic benefits we bring to India are not urgent.

The rise of Bulgaria depends on industry, and it is in the best long-term interest for us to seize resource production areas in advance.

Don't forget, the world will never lack chasers. If we occupy these places in advance, we will be invincible!

This is also a long-term national policy formulated by Emperor Ferdinand. Facts have proved that this is the strategy that best suits the interests of Bulgaria!

It is very difficult for any country to change the national policy, especially for a conservative country like Bulgaria, it is even more difficult to change the national policy formulated by Ferdinand.

From a financial point of view, if the government's fiscal revenue is 30 billion levs and the fiscal expenditure is as high as 33 billion levs, then it is very important to increase the 3 billion levs.

If the government's fiscal revenue is 30 billion levs, but the fiscal expenditure is only 29 billion levs, then the 3 billion levs become dispensable.

Obviously, now that Bulgaria's finances are healthy and there is no deficit, the government is not eager to obtain benefits from the colonies.

Well, the French have always had a good appetite. Let them go to India for a trip. Half of India can probably feed them. Let's talk about the next one! Little Ferdinand said with a slight smile.

Sharing the spoils is inevitable, the boss who doesn't share the spoils with the younger brothers will not last long, and the war is still going on, and the younger brothers are needed to contribute, and if they don't promise some benefits, how can they make them work hard?

Your Majesty, the Spaniards have little appetite. They demand the Strait of Gibraltar and some British colonies. As long as they have a certain economic value, they are not picky! Coleman continued.

It's not that the Spaniards are not picky, but they don't have the capital to be picky. Limited by their strength, it has been very difficult for them to obtain the Strait of Gibraltar.

You can promise them that we don't need to directly occupy the Strait of Gibraltar, and letting the Spaniards control it is also a good choice! Torsky said.

On this issue, everyone has no objection. For Bulgaria, the most important thing is to master the canal leading to the Mediterranean Sea, as long as it controls the Egyptian region.

As long as the Strait of Gibraltar is not in the hands of a powerful country, it will not cause trouble to Bulgaria. Obviously, Spain in this era meets this standard.

Go on! Little Ferdinand nodded and said.

Your Majesty, the next step is the Austro-Hungarian Empire. They hope to expand their territory on the European continent, but of course this desire is not strong.

It is more likely to be a test. The Austro-Hungarian Empire has a deep understanding of the dangers of multi-ethnicity. Even if it obtains territory and population from Germany, it may once again break the balance that has been established with great difficulty in the country.

This is not in their interests. Their real purpose should be to increase their social status in order to seek compensation for war reparations or colonies! Coleman analyzed

Then let Austria-Hungary keep the French company, and take their share of the British Indian colonies.

If we don't want West Russia to share, even if other small countries have ambitions, we can send them over. Chief of Staff Christopher said indifferently.

Anyway, they all decided to give up the British Indian colony, so they should just distribute it to the younger brother. It can't be said that Bulgaria is not generous enough, right?

Taking out the most elite colonies of the British to share the loot is enough to satisfy most of the allies. As for whether they can hold it, this is their problem.

Prime Minister Tolsky thought for a while and said: General Christophe's proposal is very feasible. According to our established plan, after the war, the three North American countries will establish independent states. Then the most affluent area of ​​the British Empire besides the mainland is India, followed by South Africa.

We are the main force in this war. We will distribute the Indian region to them, and we will annex the African colonies of the British, just as everyone gets what they need.

For the rest of Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Southeast Asia, we can merge part of them within our capabilities, and if any of our allies thinks they are capable, we can also share their share!

Strength determines the distribution of interests, which is the best way to solve the problem. Except for these big countries, the distribution of interests of the remaining allies does not need to be discussed in the cabinet.

This is the nature of the world. They are given equal status in name, but in fact their right to speak has not increased. They want to gain greater benefits unless they prove their strength on the battlefield.

Those who are only responsible for waving the flag and shouting, besides not having to wipe out the debts of the British after the war, at most they can only mix in some symbolic reparations.

For example, the Grand Duchy of Finland is responsible for waving the flag and shouting, and the Dutch and Belgian governments in exile, for example, can only shout two voices.

If you have no other objections, then it's decided! Little Ferdinand said with a smile

How can there be no objection?

However, Bulgaria is not a country that relies on dissent. Objections are fine, as long as there is a better way to come up with it, if not, then implement it first!

Of course, this is just a blank check. If you want to obtain the conditions promised by Bulgaria, you have to take up arms and do it. Only by defeating the enemy can you count.

Little Ferdinand didn't mind doing things that were generous to others. The British Empire occupied more than half of the colonies in the world, and the benefits that could be distributed were too great.

For Bulgaria, the economic gain is South Africa, and the strategic gain is the naval bases of the British all over the world, and the ports in the John Bull colony. No one mentioned it in advance. Obviously, this part will be eaten by Bulgaria.

After winning these regions, Bulgaria will take the lead in the future globalization strategy. It may not be meaningful now, but in the future, this will be a far-sighted strategic vision!

On April 7, 1940, the Holy Alliance held its second enlarged meeting, and the countries reached a preliminary agreement on the division of interests.

Stimulated by their interests, countries have contributed their capital one after another. The Austro-Hungarian Empire mobilized more than 2.3 million troops, Western Russia also mobilized more than 1.8 million troops, and even the Spaniards mobilized more than 1.5 million troops. Thousands of troops.

Coupled with the millions of troops gathered by a group of younger brothers, by the end of May 1940, the number of troops of the Holy Alliance had exceeded 12 million.
