Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Looking at the current world war, Ferdinand can no longer find the familiar feeling. History has been changed beyond recognition by his butterfly effect, and the future direction has become increasingly blurred.

If nothing else, the Battle of Verdun is about to start early, and the time of the World War has obviously been postponed!

While Ferdinand was thinking, the active kingdom of Montenegro jumped out to do something again.

Perhaps seeing that Romania was about to end, Nicholas I also knew the reason why his lips were dead and his teeth were cold. He was worried that after Romania was finished, it would be their turn next, and he took the initiative to launch an attack to contain Bulgaria's forces.

Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Montenegro launched a sneak attack on the Kosovo region last night, which was blocked by the defenders, and this morning they launched an attack in the Albania region. The Chief of General Staff reported to Ferdinand

Ferdinand nodded. It is normal for the Kingdom of Montenegro to move. As far as their small arms and legs dare to jump out now, once Bulgaria takes it seriously, it is estimated that Nicholas I will immediately withdraw.

In any case, with the small amount of troops in the Kingdom of Montenegro, it is impossible to pose a big threat to Bulgaria, and Ferdinand is too lazy to pay attention.

How is the Romanian war going? Ferdinand asked with concern

The Chief of General Staff replied: It's not going very well, the Romanians resisted harder than we thought, causing a lot of casualties to our troops.

The Romanian aristocracy and capitalists feared that we would confiscate their property, so they spontaneously organized the populace to frequently attack our shipping lines.

However, all their resistance was in vain. If nothing else happened, the Wallachia Plain would be taken over by us in at most half a month.

Now that we have completed the siege of Bucharest, the Romanian government has moved the capital to São Georgie.

And the Russians also conquered Bacau,

The Kingdom of Romania has actually lost half of its territory. Without external intervention, the Romanian government can only go into exile in two months at most.

Ferdinand nodded with satisfaction. As long as the strategic goal can be achieved, he will not take any casualties to his heart. Anyway, most of the casualties are cannon fodder. The big deal is to pay a pension!

However, the tenacious resistance of the Romanians still worried him. This means that after the war, there will be a blood feud between the two nations. In this context, trying to assimilate the Romanians is nothing short of a dream!

No need to think about Ferdinand to know that Bulgaria must be too blackened by the Romanian nobles, otherwise the ordinary people would not jump out and fight the Bulgarian army!

The Romanian government's rule is not so harmonious. Peasant uprisings break out every now and then. How could it be possible to achieve sincere unity with the government?

It's a pity that everyone's language and culture are different, otherwise it would be a meal to welcome Master Wang!

Support the Leading Party, let them deal with their own people. And all those who participated in the resistance, the whole family will be exiled to the Syrian area! Ferdinand thought for a while and said

War Minister Popov objected: Your Majesty, now the Ottoman Empire is attacking the Syrian region, our local forces are limited, and the Greek troops organized on the ground have extremely limited combat effectiveness.

Get the Romanians over now, they will definitely not be so peaceful, it will make it more difficult for us to rule!

Ferdinand smiled slightly. Nowadays, most of the military bosses are not very political, and they often ask ridiculous questions, which is also impossible.

For example, Popov, who climbed from an ordinary soldier to the high position of the Minister of the Army, his life can also be said to be hanging all the way.

In fact, his military life was not smooth before the age of 30. Even in the first Bulgarian war, he commanded the army to defeat the Serbs, and his rank was still only a captain.

You can see how his political savvy is. If it wasn't for Ferdinand's succession to cultivate cronies, he caught up with a good time and stood out with his outstanding military command ability. Now he should be as unknown as history. 's retired.

Although his position is rising, but the political mind has not made any progress, but Ferdinand has never cared about these.

In his view, loyalty comes first, followed by ability. And loyal and capable subordinates are hard to find, and some shortcomings can only be tolerated.

Ferdinand said calmly: Haven't we decided to give up Syria? We will give up Syria temporarily as long as the last batch of immigrants from the Greek peninsula arrives. Do you still need to worry about the Romanians being restless?

After that, Ferdinand thought of the Black Sea Strait. Since the outbreak of the World War, the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus Strait have been blocked.

The Ottomans, who shouted earth-shattering slogans, did not foolishly storm Constantinople. In addition to blocking the strait with shore artillery, they also dropped mines into the strait from time to time.

This is completely different from the Turkey in Ferdinand's image. It is also because of this that Bulgaria's landing operations on the Asia Minor peninsula have not been launched for a long time.

But this time won't last long. The Russians have already had two rounds with the Ottomans in the Caucasus. The St. Petersburg government has repeatedly urged Bulgaria to send troops to the Asia Minor peninsula.

Popov thought for a while and said, Your Majesty, why don't we get some Romanians over there?

The Allied countries have a large number of ships passing through the Suez Canal every day. Anyway, most of their return journeys are empty ships. Let's coordinate, let them take a little detour and help us carry some people. Is it not a problem?

A word to wake up the dreamer! The reason why Bulgaria did not progress fast enough in sending the Greeks was entirely caused by insufficient transport capacity.

Bulgaria's ship capacity is limited, but the Allied ships' capacity is large enough! Anyway, they are all empty ships, let them travel a few hundred more miles and earn more freight, presumably these capitalists will not refuse!

It doesn't need much, as long as one-fifth of the ships are willing to help bring people, on average, tens of thousands of people can be packed and taken away every day. As for the use of cargo ships to pull people, whether the conditions will be too bad, these are not in Ferdinand's consideration.

As long as the ships pulled people away from Bulgarian ports, he would pay, and Ferdinand would not care whether they reached their destination or not.

If these capitalists were ruthless enough to pull them out and sell them as slaves, or even just wipe them off, Ferdinand would pretend not to see them.

Anyway, during the World War, Bulgaria's supervision of foreign ships is not in place, which is completely excusable.

After thinking about it, Ferdinand said: Well, you are right! This is also a way, then the battle with the Romanians doesn't have to end so quickly.

All occupied areas will be under military control, then cleaned up one by one, and all the hostile elements will be packed and sent away!

In addition, the war against the Kingdom of Montenegro can also be started in advance, and the local people can also follow this method!

Of course, this approach only works in the sparsely populated Balkans. The mobilization of all countries is all soldiers, basically every household participated in the resistance, and Ferdinand could also use this as an excuse to exile them.

If you encounter a country with a large population, you will be caught blind. Not only can't you find the place to be resettled, but many people didn't directly participate in this war at all. You can't exile them for no reason, right?

Even if you don't care about the international public opinion of this era, the basic rules of the European region must always be followed, right?

The reason why the Russians have been ostracized by European countries is mainly because they have always been regarded by European countries as the mouthpiece of rule-breakers. Ferdinand did not want Bulgaria to follow in their footsteps.

Fortunately, during the World War, the eyes of the whole world are focused on the battlefield, and no one has noticed Bulgaria's small actions, and Ferdinand can also trade interests with the Entente.

Didn't the French need Bulgaria to launch an offensive in southern Italy to contain their forces? That's no problem! Taranto's army should not be in a hurry to withdraw, and stay to attract the Italian troops!

Didn't the British need Bulgaria to send troops to defend the Suez Canal? This is no problem! Ferdinand said that Bulgaria will immediately send five divisions to deal with the small problems of the Ottomans!

It’s almost the same as getting the UK and France. In this era, the right to speak in the world is in their hands. Like Japan and the US, they have no right to speak.

Moreover, compared to the black history, these two are hundreds of times more than what Bulgaria is doing now. What qualifications do they have to criticize?

Well, the idea of ​​Ferdinand or future generations is too heavy. The Ottomans are engaged in genocide, and they have not seen anything from other countries, let alone Bulgarian exiles some war criminals?

For Britain and France, killing the Germans now is the priority. It has been more than three months since the outbreak of the war, and so far the two sides are still evenly divided.

The Allies have brought the war to the mainland of Italy and Austria-Hungary, and the Germans have also advanced the front to Verdun, and there is no hope of victory in the short term.

In order to help the French hold the line of defense, the British army, which was small in number, also sent 200,000 troops to the battlefield of Verdun.

At the same time, both Britain and France are forming a large number of colonial troops, ready to be drawn to the front to be cannon fodder. In this context, they are all too busy to take care of themselves, who would care about the life and death of the Romanians?

Didn't you see that the Romanian government didn't ask the international community for help? But now everyone is a warring country, it seems that even asking for help is useless!
