Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Unparalleled blessings and misfortunes do not come singly!

When Ferdinand had just stepped in to help the Dutch, the Russian next door had another accident.

Since the sale of the Caucasus, the government of Nicholas II has enough money to launch a war of unification happily. The situation is very good.

All the way, the gods should kill the gods, and the Buddha will stop and kill the Buddha!

Nicholas II's army has conquered Yekaterinburg, and the little tsar Nicholas has been scrambling to the north, only to chase down the north and unify the whole country.

At this critical time, Nicholas II's army entered the Siberian plain, and then flooded the Ob River with seven armies.

The specific process of Ferdinand is unclear. In short, the final result is that Comrade Stalin is better, blowing up the dam on the upper reaches of the Ob River, and paying off the main force of Nicholas II's eastward army.

Of course, as a price, millions of Russian people, together with more than 100,000 East Russian troops, also became burial objects, and Wanli Zeguo was born.

The loss has not yet been counted, and the unification war initiated by the government of Nicholas II is now completely in vain.

The blow to Nicholas II's government was so deadly that they were unable to wage war again for at least ten years.

From the information passed from inside Russia, Ferdinand knew that it was the rebels' turn to counterattack.

Now the troops in the hands of Nicholas II are all second- and third-line troops. There are few main troops left, and there are still very serious morale problems.

Ferdinand was skeptical that if he did not intervene, a new Soviet Union would once again emerge over Bulgaria.

The small government of Tsar Nicholas has been crippled, and the government of Nicholas II suffered heavy losses. No one thought that the final winner would be Comrade Stalin, who was lurking in Siberia.

Tell me about the current situation in Russia, what should we do? Ferdinand asked very depressed

Your Majesty, we must intervene in the civil war. Now that the tsarist government is unable to unify the country, we absolutely cannot tolerate the birth of a Russian government hostile to Bulgaria! Constantine said decisively.

I know that we must intervene, but how should we intervene? Ferdinand asked with a frown.

Your Majesty, convene a meeting of the League of Nations and call on all parties in Russia to truce the war and use the actual demarcation line as the border to dismember the Russian Empire! Constantine thought for a while and said

I also know that this is the most beneficial plan for us at the moment, but the Nicholas II government may not want us to intervene directly, and they still fantasize about unifying the country?

Once the Siberian government launched a counter-offensive, they would definitely lose the battle. At that time, it would be impossible to stop the war under the current conditions!

Can the current Nicholas II listen to our advice? Ferdinand said with a great headache.

Your Majesty, no matter what the Russians think, we must do this, first inform Nicholas II of the current situation, and advise him to ask the League of Nations for help!

As for the plan to split the Russian Empire, we can leave it out for now. When the truce negotiates, someone will come up with it! ' Metev suggested

Okay, let's do it like this! Send our message to the Russians. As for what choice Nicholas II makes, I'm afraid he can't help it! Ferdinand said with a wry smile.

It's not that he really wants to stab the Russians this time, it's just that the government of Nicholas II has shown too much rubbish. It can be defeated with such an obvious advantage. Who can blame this?

Is it too cruel to complain about the enemy?

When the two armies fight, as long as they can win, who cares about the means and process? Now is not the age of medieval knights, and the victor is not to be blamed!

If the government of Nicholas II fails, then future history will record that the reactionary tsarist government blew up the dam to suppress the revolution. The flood washed away hundreds of thousands of revolutionary troops and caused the displacement of millions of innocent people!

Finally, a few comments: how the tsarist government is anti-human, anti-social, all these reactionary activities,

Under the heroic and fearless struggle of the revolutionaries who were not afraid of sacrifice, they vanished into thin air!

The final conclusion is that the unpopular tyranny will eventually be overthrown!

Well, these are all made up by Ferdinand, and he sent these contents to Nicholas II intact.

Even Ferdinand could guess how furious Nicholas II was after receiving this telegram, and how powerless he was.

After the long-term war, the population of the Russian Empire has been broken. If someone does another national census, they will be surprised to find that the Russian population is less than 100 million?

It is estimated that the Tsarist government did not realize this problem, and the population of the Russian Empire has continued to decline since the outbreak of the World War.

Especially after the outbreak of the civil war, Russia's birth rate fell to a low point. The biggest reason is that a large number of young laborers have entered the army, and a large number of Russian women of school age cannot find husbands.

And this population decline has continued. From 1915 to the present, the Russian Empire has actually lost a generation.

This is a vicious circle. According to the most optimistic estimates of the Bulgarian Population Agency, if the Russian Empire immediately stops the war, the domestic economy will return to normal levels.

The population of the Russian Empire will drop by ten percent in the next ten years, and by a quarter in the next twenty years.

This is caused by the current demographic structure of the Russian Empire. During the more than ten years of war, the Russian Empire lost at least 15 million young and strong men. Now the proportion of men and women in the age group of 20 to 40 years old has already It became 1:2.3.

Similarly, due to the impact of the war, the fertility rate has continued to decline in the last ten years. The number of children between the ages of 0 and 12 is less than nine percent of the population and less than half of the normal rate.

This means that the Russian Empire has entered an aging society. Although their average life expectancy is not long, it is an indisputable fact that people in their 50s and 60s are becoming the main force of the country.

In this context, the feminist movement in the Russian Empire also fell into a low ebb. Although international feminist organizations believed that they should be at the forefront of the world, the result was just the opposite.

In the face of life and rights, many people have to compromise with reality.

St. Petersburg

After Nicholas II received Ferdinand's telegram, there was no rage, and a series of bad news had exhausted his anger.

The sudden bad news had knocked his spirits down. Ferdinand suggested that he seek help from the League of Nations, and in fact Nicholas II was very tempted.

What he needs most now is time, and even if an agreement cannot be reached at the League of Nations meeting, he can use the time of the truce talks to regroup.

But what worries him most is that the League of Nations will expressly stipulate in a treaty that the Russian Empire will be divided.

The political impact of this was so deadly that it could shake the foundations of his rule.

However, the international reputation of the Russian Empire is not very good. Even if European countries vote with their feet, they all support the splitting of the Russian Empire.

There was not much time left for Nicholas II. Before the enemy had eaten, he had to bring everyone to the negotiating table.

Bulgaria's attitude is very clear. Only when the League of Nations intervenes will they intervene in the Russian civil war. Otherwise, even as an ally, there is no reason to intervene in the civil war of the Allies?

What would have happened without Bulgaria's support? This question does not need to be answered, knowing that the result will be very unfavorable for the tsarist government.

Since the defeat of the front line, the Finnish region has become unstable, and the revolutionary army has appeared again in Russia.

If the front line is defeated again, it is difficult to keep these basic plates. Even Nicholas II's supporters could not tolerate continued failure.

Although Ferdinand's words were very unpleasant, Nicholas II still recognized it, especially the most crucial sentence - the Russian people's patience with the government has reached its limit. If the war continues, they will Riot.

Prime Minister, if we ask the League of Nations for help now, how many countries will be on our side? Nicholas II asked with great concern.

Your Majesty, we are the only legitimate government recognized by the international community. In theory, everyone will stand on our side, but European countries don't want to see a powerful Russian empire appear, so they are likely to support the rebels!

To gain more support from the international community, we must do more diplomatic efforts, which will take time! The Prime Minister thought about it and said

You mean that there is no country that is completely on our side now? Nicholas II asked very depressed

Your Majesty, these are issues left over from history. If we make some diplomatic efforts, we can still pull most of the countries over, provided there is no major power interference! the Prime Minister explained.

Forget it, unless we can persuade Britain and France to support us, it will be of no use if we pull all the European countries over! Nicholas II thought for a while and said

International support is important if it is important or not. Ultimately, it depends on everyone's strength.

Ferdinand's meaning was very clear. Now that the tsarist government was at a disadvantage, he suggested that the tsar seek help from the League of Nations and end the war through negotiation.

After all, the so-called international treaty is the same thing. If the tsarist government becomes stronger in the future, it can tear up the treaty and start a reunification war.

It's just that this is more difficult and has been criticized by the international community. In the lifetime of Nicholas II, it is estimated that you will not want to see it.

Your Majesty, the armistice negotiations are very beneficial to us now.

Although the rebels occupy three-quarters of the Russian Empire, most of it is frozen ground. The territory we control now is the essence of the Russian Empire.

Economically, the areas under our control have always accounted for more than 65 percent of the Russian Empire's economy.

In terms of industry, the areas under our control account for more than 80 percent of the total industrial volume of the Russian Empire.

In terms of population, the population of the area under our control accounts for 68.2% of the total population of the Russian Empire.

Although these data are all pre-war, and these ratios may change due to the war, we still have an advantage in terms of comprehensive strength.

Now what we need most is time. Once the war is over and the economy can return to normal, our recovery speed is definitely not comparable to the rebels! ' the Prime Minister advised

Nicholas II glanced at everyone, and he knew from everyone's expressions that everyone wanted to end the war first.

As the vested interests, these people are already full, and the most important thing now is to be safe. If the fight continues, the people under the rule will be forced to turn back, and they will be finished.

Nicholas II had to consider the attitude of these interest classes. Without the support of these people, even if he wanted to continue the war, he could not do it.

Well, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs submitted an application to the League of Nations, inviting all countries in the world to join forces to stop the spread of Bolshevism! Nicholas II said helplessly.

In addition to this ideologically different reason, Nicholas II can no longer think of a reason for gaining the support of various countries.

The Bulgarian-Russian Alliance, once considered the greatest diplomatic achievement of the Russian Empire in the last century, has now become a stumbling block for the Russian Empire.

As long as this alliance is not dissolved, it is impossible for Britain and France to relax their vigilance against the Russian Empire and give up their suppression.

If it weren't for the sudden outbreak of the Russian Empire's civil war, now it would not be a Russian-Russian alliance, but a Slavic federal empire that made the world tremble.

This is also the greatest pain in Nicholas II's heart. He is only one step away from the largest empire in the world.

Therefore, he hated the rebels to the core, even if these rebellions broke out a year and a half later, the Slavic federal empire had already been established.

As long as the federal empire is established, any rebellion is a cloud, and it can be easily wiped out.

It is a pity that there is no if in history. With the outbreak of the Russian rebellion and the leak of the secret contract, all this disappeared.

Out of fear of the Slavic Federation Empire, Britain and France chose to suppress the Russian Empire, which caused an imbalance in the power of Russia and Bulgaria.

At this time, even if the Slavic Empire is established, it will be dominated by Bulgaria. Can Nicholas II agree?

Obviously this is not possible!

Even if he doesn't care about personal interests, the Russian people can't agree. They are used to being the boss, and suddenly let them be younger brothers. No one can stand this gap in their hearts?

The idea of ​​dissolving the Russian-Russian alliance appeared in Nicholas II's mind more than once, but he never brought it up in the end.

The political influence of doing so is too great, and from top to bottom, all sections of the Russian Empire have no desire to dissolve the alliance, which is against their interests.

You can't tell the people that, in order to avoid the suppression of Britain and France, you should dissolve the Russian-Russian alliance, right?

If this is the reason, it is estimated that the Russian people will change to a normal-minded tsar.

Britain and France have suppressed the Russian Empire for hundreds of years. They were beaten by Britain and France in the Crimean War 80 or 90 years ago, and Bulgaria has not yet been born.

Now you tell them that as long as the Bulgarian-Russian alliance does not exist, or even the two countries become enemies, Britain and France will no longer suppress the Russian Empire. Who would believe it?

It is estimated that if this is said, it can be regarded as a neurosis!

At most, the suppression of Britain and France is to use some small means, and it will not kill the Russian Empire, but to protect Russia, it can immediately bring the tsarist government to an end. This is the fact in front of us!

Whether they admit it or not, without Bulgaria to extend their lives, the tsarist government would have collapsed long ago, and the economies of the two countries would have long been tied together!

Everyone knows that the mainstay of the Tsarist government's economy is the export of mineral resources, and Bulgaria is the only importer of these resources.

It's not that they don't want to sell to others, they really can't find a buyer.

It turned out that they could still sell them to Italy and Germany. Since these two countries started OEM for Britain and France, they have no interest in these mineral resources.

After Bulgaria purchased these mineral resources, it exported the industrial products produced to the Russians, which is equivalent to a cycle.

Coupled with the trade balance doctrine pursued by Ferdinand, even if the trade structure between Bulgaria and Russia is not equal, it has not produced a large trade deficit.

This makes the Russians very satisfied. This kind of balanced trade is a long-term solution, so even if the Bulgarian industrial and commercial products are flooded with large and small stores in Russia, it has not caused a violent rebound from the Russians!

Balanced trade, there is no outflow of wealth, and there is no economic plunder, so naturally there will be no disputes.

As a price, many minerals in Bulgaria have been sealed up, and the purchase of Russian minerals has been given priority to maintain this balance.

Of course, if there was no land transaction, the arms trade would have broken this balance long ago. After all, Ferdinand couldn't even balance such a sudden appearance of a large order.
