Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Although the Greek peninsula is now occupied by Bulgaria, the 1.78 million Greeks on the island and the 600,000-700,000 Ottomans imprisoned by the Greeks need to be dealt with. If one is not handled properly, it may explode!

After all, Ferdinand paid great attention to the international image, and it was impossible to send all the Greeks to concentration camps, but the Greeks whose nationalism had been deeply rooted were obviously not so easy to integrate!

It took only one infantry division to defeat the Greeks Bulgaria, and now Ferdinand has sent three infantry divisions to occupy the Greek peninsula!

This is still under negotiation. The Greeks do not yet know the purpose of Bulgaria. They also hope that the foreign powers will exert pressure to force Bulgaria to withdraw from the Greek peninsula. The civil resistance is not very fierce.

After all, as early as ten years ago, the Ottoman Empire used the heads of 400,000 to 500,000 Greeks to teach them a lesson that resistance will kill people! Hard bones were basically dead in the last war!

Time has not passed, and everyone has not forgotten the horror of the Ottoman army, so now they dare not provoke the Bulgarian army, for fear of causing another killing!

Even the active sophomores have quieted down. They have also experienced that era. They have left terrifying memories in their minds as children. Now they are lured out again, they are quietly hiding and trembling. !

Ferdinand knew that the Greeks were cowardly, but it didn't mean that they didn't dare to resist, but now Bulgaria has not challenged their bottom line, and the most important thing is that they have not damaged the core interests of interest groups!

But this will soon change. When the Greeks discover Ferdinand's true purpose, they will certainly not be ruled willingly. Resistance is a matter of time!

At this time, Ferdinand was having a headache about how to deal with the problem of the Greeks. After all, the contradiction between Bulgaria and Greece can no longer be eased. It is better to eliminate this hidden danger earlier!

Now that the Greek peninsula has also been included in our pocket, if there is no accident in this negotiation, all countries will acquiesce to our annexation of the Greek peninsula,

But what should the Greeks do with it?

Do you have any suggestions, can you talk about it?

6th Army Minister Popov took the lead and said: Your Majesty, we can learn from what the Greeks did to the Ottomans before and send them directly to concentration camps to contribute to the construction of Bulgaria!

Naval Minister Petrov added: Your Majesty, to open overseas colonies now requires a lot of labor, why don't you send them!

...

The military's suggestion made Ferdinand roll his eyes, what a joke. There are quite a few Greeks. Although there are only 1.7.8 million in the Greek peninsula, there are quite a few Greek ethnic groups scattered all over the world, and people are making trouble. , Bulgaria's international image is all over!

Although the foreign powers of this era have no international image, Ferdinand still pays attention to the influence. At least after leaving the Near East, Bulgaria's international image is still good around the world. !

Xiang, what's your opinion? Ferdinand continued to ask

Constantine thought for a while and said, Your Majesty, the Greeks are very difficult to deal with, the best option is to send them all away, or even find a new place for them to build a country!

Only they can't stay in the Greek peninsula. Just look at the Serbian region ruled by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Even if the rebellion is suppressed, the situation has not stabilized!

Ferdinand nodded in satisfaction, this was the solution he wanted, how could others be snoring on the side of the couch!

Well, it's good to say that as long as the Greeks stay in the Greek peninsula, they are a hidden danger. If you want long-term stability, it's better to get them away! Think about it, what place is it suitable for the Greeks? Ferdinand showed his attitude

Since Ferdinand's previous plan was to turn the Sea of ​​Marmara into an inner lake, Greece only planned to cede some islands, and did not consider dealing with the Greeks.

But later he thought about it carefully. It is very difficult to realize this strategy now. At least the Russians do not want Bulgaria to control the Black Sea Strait. The St. Petersburg government is also very interested in this strait!

If the two countries are jointly managed, then after the outbreak of the First World War, the Russians will be able to obtain enough materials from the outside world. By then, the Allied countries will win the war ahead of schedule. After the war, Bulgaria will directly face those who have no vitality. Tsarist Russia!

Thinking of this terrible result, Ferdinand felt terrified, so he temporarily gave up the strategy of expanding to the peninsula of Asia Minor and turned to the Greek peninsula.

After all, for the sake of the Greek peninsula, Ferdinand began to make diplomatic preparations as early as ten years ago, and successively settled four of the six major powers in Europe!

During the Russo-Japanese War, Ferdinand and Edward VII conducted insider trading on the issue of the Greek peninsula, and the two sides reached a consensus.

The Legal Security Treaty and the British Security Treaty clearly defined the Greek peninsula as the sphere of influence of Bulgaria. In the earlier Russian Bulgarian Alliance, the Russians also promised to support Bulgaria's expansion in the Balkans. including the Greek peninsula.

I just reached a deal with the Italians. After all, Tripoli is of extremely high strategic value to the Italians, and it is not so easy to get it!

Oh, of course, in these transactions, Ferdinand did not directly tell anyone that Bulgaria would incorporate the Greek peninsula into the mainland. Those words might have to be considered again!

This is the core reason why Ferdinand was so eager to get the Greeks away!

Anyway, as long as there are no Greeks on the Greek peninsula, even if the foreign powers are dissatisfied with Bulgaria's annexation of the Greek peninsula, they can only recognize it with their noses!

Before that, the most important thing is to move some Greeks to leave, and then move some Bulgarians in, and when the powers appear, it also creates an established fact!

It is estimated that the world war will almost break out at that time, and no one can care about the small problem of the Greek peninsula!

The 6th Army Minister Popov suggested: Your Majesty, why not Libya! The most valuable port city, Tripoli, has been given to the Italians, and it is completely worthwhile to exchange the remaining oases in the coastal area for the Greek peninsula. !

Navy Minister Petrov quickly objected: No! Libya is our only overseas colony. If we just give up like this, where will our face be?

To settle the Greeks, we can think of a way to the Ottoman Empire. They want to keep the peninsula of Asia Minor, how can they do it without paying the price?

Just let them provide a piece of land and settle the Greeks, right? Anyway, the Ottoman Empire is a big family, and it is not a waste of land to place such a million or two million Greeks. It is just a small problem for them!

...

Well, Ferdinand knows that the reason why the dispute is so fierce is, in the final analysis, a Hai 6 dispute!

This is unavoidable for every major country. Although Bulgaria is a 6-power country, its unique geographical location requires him to have a large-scale navy!

This is a reality that every peninsula country must face - all the seas must be done! It’s just that the focus is different. Spain, Italy and Bulgaria face similar situations in this regard!

Oh, and the French count too!

Taking into account the needs of future strategies, Ferdinand chose to support Petrov. After all, Bulgaria's naval power is very low now. If they don't give them a reason to show, Bulgaria will not even have a voice in the Mediterranean region in the future!

Once there is a conflict with a big country, everyone can directly block the Aegean Sea, so don't even think about it in Bulgaria!

Anyway, I have to take a bite of the Ottoman Empire this time. Whether it is indemnity or ceding land, it is okay to hand over the choice to the Ottoman Empire. If it is not possible, then consider Libya!
