Mediterranean Hegemony Road

? It is already an open secret that Ferdinand wants to turn the Kingdom of Bulgaria into the Bulgarian Empire. People all over the world are guessing when this new empire will be established.

No one doubted that his generation of heroes would not be able to establish the Bulgarian Empire. Of course, whether it can be recognized by the outside world is another matter.

Historically, Bulgaria has also established an empire, but it is only the regional hegemony of the Balkan Peninsula and has not been widely recognized by everyone.

This is very bad news for Ferdinand. If one is not good, he will become the heir of the Bulgarian Empire, and then establish the Third Bulgarian Empire, so it's a shame.

After all, he is also the greatest monarch in the history of Bulgaria. If he inherits the crown of the Roman Empire, that's all. Ferdinand doesn't want a regional crown.

What he wants is not a title. If it is just a title, what is the real difference between a king and an emperor?

His real purpose is to determine the legitimacy of Bulgaria to all current territories. At this point, Ferdinand can only push it all over again.

No matter how thick-skinned he is, no matter how much he goes to archaeology, it is impossible to find out the legitimacy of Bulgaria's land in Africa, and it doesn't even have anything to do with the Middle East.

Since this legal basis has not worked since ancient times, Ferdinand can only establish a new legal basis.

That is the actual occupation. As long as the people on these lands are all Bulgarians, then Bulgaria can also have legal sovereignty over these areas!

Before again, the flag of the Bulgarian Empire must be established first, otherwise four or five small countries existed in the Balkans alone. There is no way to solve these historical problems.

Although these small countries have been annexed by Bulgaria, it does not mean that these areas cannot be independent. Then turn your attention to other regions, not to mention, there used to be a lot of small countries.

Maybe one day, some people will wear the vests of these countries and want to fight for independence!

In order to avoid this from happening, it is very important to legally own the sovereignty of these lands.

As long as sovereignty is in hand, enacting a strict law can prevent problems before they happen. In the future, if someone really dares to talk about independence, just use the law to kill them.

Then this legal sovereignty,

Where did it come from?

The answer is very obvious: the Bulgarian Empire!

And it can only be the Bulgarian Empire, not the Bulgarian Federal Empire, and there is no possibility of withdrawal!

Prime Minister, are you ready? Ferdinand asked

Your Majesty, please rest assured that all the preparations have been done well, now that we are in a period of economic crisis, all countries are overwhelmed by themselves, and they have no ability to cause trouble for us.

The Gulf of Aqaba Canal is open to navigation at any time, and even if the British don't want to recognize us, they have no way to take substantial measures.

Other countries are nothing to worry about. At this time, most of them will choose to acquiesce. As long as they are not explicitly opposed, we will have ways to make them admit it in the future!

There are no less than 20 countries that have clearly expressed their support for us. In the next few months, we will make some diplomatic efforts and win some countries to recognize it! Prime Minister Constantine said confidently

His confidence is built on strength. The establishment of the Bulgarian Empire will have no impact on most countries. There is no conflict of interest, and they will naturally not jump out to oppose it.

Bulgaria is not a soft persimmon. If they offend them on this issue, they will definitely retaliate afterwards. Few countries are willing to become enemies with Bulgaria for no reason, which means disaster.

Then let's announce the news to the public. Anyway, everyone already knows about it! Whether it's an enemy or a friend, we'll know by September! Ferdinand said indifferently

Anyway, the land that Bulgaria should take has already been obtained. At this time, the establishment of the empire is just to declare sovereignty, and there is no need to compete with others for the territory, and there is no need to keep it secret.

Ferdinand didn't even bother to participate in specific matters. It would be a headache to prepare any grand ceremony, let alone the emperor's enthronement ceremony?

Yes, Your Majesty! Constantine replied excitedly

Being able to build an empire is a temptation for anyone, and Constantine is no exception.

Once the Bulgarian Empire was established, he was the greatest prime minister of the twentieth century, and that one could be removed.

Little Ferdinand will leave the rest to you. Now is the time to test you! Ferdinand patted his son on the shoulder and said

Father, don't worry, I will handle these matters properly! Little Ferdinand said seriously

...

London

After receiving the invitation from the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Prime Minister Macdonald's face became ugly, and the Bulgarian Empire was about to be born.

As the biggest competitor, how could he not know the threat of Bulgaria?

You know, you know, now that the British Empire is too busy to take care of itself, how can it have the energy to find troubles in Bulgaria?

Even if he wanted to make trouble, he didn't know what to do. It was impossible to fight. The British Empire these days were all pacifists, and no one wanted to fight!

Besides, we are still at war with Bulgaria. Although the two sides are the biggest competitors, are we not life and death enemies?

Without enough interests, no matter how many excuses there are for war, the gentlemen in Congress will not agree to any military action.

At this time, you can't shout twice, right?

In addition to disgusting people, it also has the effect of a fart!

That being the case, then simply act as if nothing happened. Anyway, what Bulgaria wants is just a title, and it cannot increase its strength and will not affect the world hegemony of the British Empire, McDonald comforted himself.

St. Petersburg

Nicholas II looked at the invitation and was speechless for a long time. No one knew what he was thinking. In short, His Majesty the Tsar was not in a good mood!

Paris

Well, they really don't have time to pay attention to the affairs of Bulgaria. Mr. Prime Minister has been up and down, and maybe he will step down again.

No way, this is the characteristic of France. A vote of no-confidence in Congress can make the cabinet go out, and then they will be elected back in the re-election.

The French are so capricious!

If they cannot be elected, it is estimated that with the frequency of the collapse of the French government, even the cabinet members will not be able to get together. On average, they will come two or three times a year, even if each political party takes one round, it is enough.

This tossing every year, when the frequency is the highest, three or four governments can be replaced in a month, and the shortest term is less than 48 hours. How can there be so many politicians to replace them?

We have to be busy with elections and find ways to deal with the economic crisis. Who cares about whether Bulgaria can build an empire?

...

Some people support it, some people oppose it, and some people don't care. This is the attitude of the outside world towards the establishment of the Bulgarian Empire.

Little Ferdinand, who presided over the work, was relieved that so far, no one has stood up to oppose the establishment of the Bulgarian Empire, and no one has come forward to question the legitimacy of the Bulgarian Empire.

Of course, no one means that there are no big figures. The supporters and opponents in the newspapers have long been arguing, and there are all kinds of weird claims.

But these were all ignored by little Ferdinand. Apart from stepping up public relations to suppress these voices, he didn't even bother to do revenge work. Not everyone is qualified to be missed by him.

At this time, the advantage of the large number of people was reflected, and the international voices publicly expressing their support for the establishment of the Bulgarian Empire sounded, overwhelming these discordant voices.

More than 30 countries around the world, including Austria-Hungary, Germany, Italy, West Russia, and East Russia, publicly expressed their support for the establishment of the Bulgarian Empire, and then a large number of nobles in Europe also stood up to express their support.

Little Ferdinand deeply realized that Ferdinand wanted him to have more children, just look at the political benefits brought by their six brothers.

Five younger brothers are five votes, and the big nobles who are married together can win a few more votes. There are still ten votes within the family, which adds up to more than twenty votes.

When it comes to national interests, it may not be possible to get everyone's support, but on the premise that interests are not involved, everyone is still willing to sell favors.

No matter what they think in their hearts, everyone still stands up to help wave the flag, and that's enough.

The most fearful thing about establishing the Bulgarian Empire is that they did not recognize their legitimacy. Now the European aristocrats have basically expressed their support. Three-quarters of the countries in the world have publicly recognized the upcoming Bulgarian Empire.

The remaining countries will not be able to resist for long, such as the British Empire. Now Prime Minister Macdonald is hesitating whether to recognize the legitimacy of the Bulgarian Empire.

The British royal family has not yet expressed their position, but the three sons of George V who founded the country in North America have already stood up to support them. Everyone knows their attitude, but it is not easy to speak out because of political factors.

This is not surprising, it is all due to interests. Perhaps they still opposed the establishment of the Bulgarian Empire in their hearts, and no one wanted an extra emperor.

But out of realistic interest needs, each of them chose to compromise. It is easy to stand up and express opposition now, but it will be more troublesome in the future.

It seems that Ferdinand is really what everyone expects. Most people in the world support him and call him emperor. According to everyone, this is the will of God.

In fact, only the Bulgarian people really supported him as emperor, and his sons were the only ones left.

Most of the other people are exchanged for their interests, and there is no way to force their friendship, and some of them are threatened.

Prime Minister Constantine let it go. Anyone who dares to make trouble on this issue will be Bulgaria's endless enemy!

Who will eat enough to hold on, and if there is no conflict of interest, will fight to the end with Bulgaria?
