Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was the Bulgarian Empire! —Ferdinand comforted himself

It was almost an open secret around the world that Ferdinand was planning to establish the Bulgarian Empire as soon as the World War ended.

To establish the Bulgarian Empire is not his personal ambition, but a practical need. More than 60 million Bulgarians all hope to build a powerful empire.

A huge colony also requires an empire to incorporate all these places into the mainland.

Now that Ferdinand is almost ready, the Bulgarian Empire will only be able to live up to its name when the British fall, and only when John Bull falls.

Of course, the publicity to the outside world is different. The outside world has always believed that he is going to inherit the Bulgarian Empire in history. Although it has not been recognized by European countries, the crown does exist in history.

In this case, everyone naturally laughed it off, could it be possible to stop it?

The Ferdinand in history could wear the crown of the Tsar at the end of the 19th century, not to mention the current Ferdinand.

Many people are happy to see the success. There are already many tsars in the world, and they don't care about adding another one.

However, unlike in history, Ferdinand can despise the Bulgarian Empire in history, and naturally he will not inherit their crown.

Napoleon could call himself emperor, why couldn't he? The current international situation facing Bulgaria is much better than that of Napoleon in history!

In this era, the British can't organize an anti-guarantee alliance unless they go shirtless in person, and the ally only exists in theory.

Bulgaria's reputation on the European continent is not much better than that of the British.

After killing the Ottoman Empire, Ferdinand became a saint in the Christian world, and stepping on the bones of the Ottomans, Bulgaria was fully integrated into European society.

Now, even if you want to sow discord, you have to be within reach of everyone, right?

Advocating the Bulgarian threat theory, you need someone to believe it?

Throughout the history of Bulgaria's expansion, it is all headed for Asia and Africa. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the strategic center of gravity is in Asia and Africa, and has no interest in the hegemony of the European continent.

This is also the reason why the relationship between France and France has always been better than that between Britain and France. Bulgaria has no intention of competing with them for hegemony in the European continent, but the British have cut off the French's dream of European hegemony.

Your Majesty, French Foreign Minister Briand proposed in his own name that our two countries sign a Treaty of Non-War. Megeve said with a smile

Personal name? Ferdinand said uncertainly

Yes, Your Majesty! Megeve replied affirmatively

Has the conflict between us and the French reached the point where we need to use war to resolve it? Ferdinand asked suspiciously

No, in fact, there are almost no major conflicts between us and the French. We all have our own spheres of influence, and the two sides do not interfere with each other.

Even if there is a trade conflict, it does not require war. In international politics, cooperation between us far exceeds confrontation! Megeve thought for a while and said

Ferdinand knew all these problems. Isn’t there a popular saying among the people-Britain protects France and friendship?

Under the common enemy of the British Empire, China, Bulgaria and France have long been united in international affairs to keep warm.

Basically, if Bulgaria wants to restrict the French, then just keep silent and let John Bull get on it; the reverse is also the same, if the French want to cause trouble for Bulgaria, they are also silent, just wait for the British to get on!

Most of the time, Baofa teamed up to trip up John Bull. Even if they were discovered, everyone would be able to resist.

Just as the Japanese supported the rebellion in Southeast Asia, John Bull, in addition to restricting them symbolically economically, was actually powerless.

It is impossible to take tough measures against the Japanese, and John Bull is even more powerless against the two countries.

Don't look at the Royal Navy is number one in the world,

In fact, Ferdinand didn't take them seriously for a long time, but in order to let the British continue to make mistakes, he didn't give them a hard time.

If that's the case, then just reject him. Baofa is an ally in the first place, and the relationship between the two sides can continue to deepen. There is no need to sign a nondescript Abolition of War Pact! Ferdinand thought for a while and said

Is it possible for Baofa to continue the alliance?

It is entirely possible to unite against the British!

Is it possible for Britain and France to continue their alliance?

The French will tell you it doesn't exist, John Bull is so nasty!

Without the threat of the Americans, the attitude of the British towards the French is not as good as in history. The two sides have conflicts every now and then, but the French often suffer.

This has made the French, full of romanticism, increasingly hate John Bull, and this is also an opportunity for Bulgaria.

The more allies the better, the fewer enemies the better!

Today, Bulgaria's direct enemies no longer exist, and the British can only be regarded as potential enemies, and they have not yet reached the point of life and death.

Your Majesty, do you mean to form a secret alliance with the French again? Megeve asked uncertainly

That's right, the British are now planning to support the Germans. What do you think the French will think? Ferdinand asked

Are the British crazy? If they support German reunification, the French will have no choice! Megeve said in surprise

The British are not crazy, and it can even be said that their approach is very clever!

What will happen to continental Europe once Germany is reunified? ’ asked Ferdinand

France and Austria-Hungary are about to form an alliance to face this terrible enemy, and will not have the energy to trouble them!

However, isn't the UK afraid of collapsing? You must know that once Germany is unified, their strength will immediately surpass that of France. Considering the abnormal combat effectiveness of their army, even the French-Austro-Hungarian alliance may not be able to withstand it! Megeve thought for a while and said

No, do we still exist? No matter what, we cannot tolerate the existence of a unified European continent. This need is more urgent than the British!

No matter how powerful the Germans are, it is impossible for them to face the alliance of our three countries at the same time. When a big war breaks out, the British will be the final winners again! Ferdinand thought for a while and said

However, the French will not reunify Germany? On this issue, the French government has no possibility of compromise, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire will help.

There is no power to unify the country in Germany at all. Any force that faces internal and external attacks can only fail! Megeve said in disbelief.

Whether it will be successful or not, no one knows. Anyway, now that the British have this plan, we already know it, and the French may know it too. Even if they don't know it, they will know it right away. That's enough.

Under these circumstances, will the French refuse to ally with us? ’ Ferdinand said with a smile.

This is often the case with politics, even if the French don't think Germany can be reunited, they still hate the British.

In this case, the romantic French will usually make some unexpected moves to retaliate against the British. Is there a better way than to protect France as an alliance?

It is very exciting to think about the alliance of protecting France and challenging the hegemony of the British.

fail?

There is no such option at all, and the two sides will not be able to fight at all.

The two navies of France and Bulgaria would not be able to defeat the Royal Navy even if they joined forces, but the situation in the army was just the opposite, and any one of them could overwhelm the British.

In this case, how can a war break out between the two sides?

Bulgaria can cut off the Suez Canal, push across the African continent, or push across from World Island to India.

France and the United Kingdom can only look at each other across the sea, stare at each other, and at most watch bombs being thrown on each other's heads, and the air forces of both sides will have a big duel.

Then they blocked each other, the French defended the Mediterranean, the British defended the Atlantic, and no one could do anything to the other.

If there is a fight, the two sides can fight for a hundred years, and they don't even want to tell the winner. The premise is that the technology of both sides does not progress.

On the surface, it seems that Bulgaria has an advantage and can push all the way to grab the territory. In fact, just look at the traffic.

Without sea and land transportation, logistical supplies can drag the army to death. Looking at India not far away, in fact it is simply out of reach.

In fact, this state is the state where the two sides are least likely to break out of war. No one can do anything about it, and both sides will try their best to avoid it knowing that it will be a war in which both sides will suffer huge losses.

This is what the Japanese most hope to happen. The Tokyo government has repeatedly proposed to Sofia and Paris: the plan of the three countries to form an alliance to carve up the world.

It's just that everyone is not a fool, how could the Japanese take advantage of it?

If the navy can't win, the two countries, Bulgaria and France, can carve up the African continent at most.

In fact, apart from South Africa, which is the richest, and Egypt and Sudan, which are the most geographically important, the rest of the African continent is the territory of Bulgaria and France.

This benefit is simply not enough to make them take risks. France is now governed by a republican government, not the Napoleonic era.

Your Majesty, with all due respect, there is absolutely no need to form an alliance with the French, and it has no practical effect except to stimulate the British! Megeve said after hesitating.

It can also embolden the French, allowing them to take a tougher attitude towards the British and share the political pressure for us.

If we are only fighting the British, we don't need the French at all, and their presence or absence will not affect the direction of the war!

Now we need a large number of allies, and the more the better, we don't need them to do anything, as long as they can stimulate the British! Ferdinand thought for a while and said

Your Majesty, is this necessary? It's not good for us to provoke the British now? Megev asked suspiciously

Ferdinand just smiled and didn't answer.

Your Majesty, do you mean to isolate the British? Megeve thought for a while and said

This is the diplomatic strategy used by the Germans back then, but the isolated target was the French, and then they almost defeated the French in the Franco-Prussian War.

Now that we are in a much better position, no military adventures are needed, and everyone is in an alliance, guess what the British will do? Ferdinand said calmly.

They will also ask to join in, so as to avoid being isolated by everyone and protect their interests! Megeve said without hesitation

Megeve quickly understood Ferdinand's purpose, which was an overt conspiracy to distract the British from causing trouble for Bulgaria.

As for relying on this military alliance to defeat the British hegemony and bring the world into the era of Bulgaria, don't dream about it.

Unless the British have water in their heads, they will choose to engage in military confrontation with this alliance. In that case, they can laugh in their dreams.

Under normal circumstances, with John Bull's diplomatic means, they would choose the simplest and best method to join the alliance and then break up the alliance.

Of course, Ferdinand also has a hidden purpose, which is to completely cut off the possibility of German reunification. Once the four countries of Britain, France and Austria form an alliance, then Germany must first consider the intervention of the four countries if it wants to reunify by force.

Ferdinand didn't even think about the issue of peaceful reunification. Can the central government of a bunch of kingdoms, principalities and republics urinate into a gourd?

There are also foundries controlled by Britain and France, how to solve it?

These factories have indeed increased the German industry, but once they leave the British and French markets, they will immediately add nearly seven to eight million unemployed people.

The economy can collapse Germany unless there is immediate war.

It takes time to prepare for a war. There are no supplies, army training has long been abandoned, and an arsenal for the production of weapons and ammunition has not yet been established.

The future of Germany will be a loose alliance, which can unite to resist the expansion of the French, but cannot build a powerful empire. This is the Germany that Ferdinand wanted.

In fact, all this was brought up by the British themselves, in an attempt to use the Germans to disrupt the existing order on the European continent if they did not support Germany's consent.

Ferdinand decided not to form an alliance with the French at this time. Although there is no conflict between the two sides, there is no common interest for everyone?

Join forces to challenge British hegemony, just use it to fool ordinary people, no politician will take it seriously.

The French are not stupid, and now their strength is far behind the British and Bulgarian countries, and they have nothing to do with defeating the British hegemony.

How could they do the business of making wedding dresses for others?

Of course, if the current world hegemon is replaced by the Germans, then there will be no problem, whether the French are willing or not!

That's right, we should try not to use military means to achieve our goals through diplomatic means. We are a peace-loving country, so how can we start a war? Ferdinand said with a smile

Megev nodded in agreement. As a diplomat, the most annoying thing is to resort to military means for problems that could have been solved by diplomatic means. To them, this means incompetence!
