Mediterranean Hegemony Road

? Time flies by, and it entered 1931 in a flash. Affected by the economic crisis, the world has become more chaotic.

At the beginning of the year, an anti-colonial movement broke out in Italy, which soon spread to Germany. In order to force Britain and France to withdraw their troops, the people of the two countries launched a series of struggles.

It has to be said that they chose a good time. Now is the peak period of the anti-war movement in Britain and France, and the governments of Britain and France were forced to choose to make concessions.

The Far East was also not at peace, and the Japanese were making trouble again. Under the appeasement policy of Britain and France, they brazenly launched a war of aggression against China.

Ferdinand, who was far away in Sofia, just quietly watched all this happen, beyond his reach!

Your Majesty, under the laissez-faire of Britain and France, Germany and Italy have torn up the Treaty of Versailles and have begun to resume military production.

The German government is also coordinating the relationship between the states. In order to break the current unfavorable situation, they are likely to join forces again! Medev said cautiously.

It is not surprising that the British let go of Germany and Italy. John Bull has always been like this. They supported Germany and Italy to break the current situation in Europe and get rid of the economic crisis after war. This is all expected.

However, the performance of the French is jaw-dropping. As for the contradictions between France and Italy, Germany and France, there is no way for the two sides to ease them. Isn’t it asking for trouble if they are allowed to rise at this time?

Even after the rise of Bulgaria, the Germans will not be allowed to dominate the European continent, but the French are the first to bear the brunt. Perhaps Poland and the Austro-Hungarian Empire were also the earliest victims.

This is determined by geographical location. The British have France as their meat shield, and Bulgaria also has the Austro-Hungarian Empire in front of them.

The French's approach, Ferdinand can only be attributed to willfulness, they probably forgot the fact that they occupied the territories of Germany and Italy in the World War.

If you want to divert disaster to the south, you must also consider the actual situation. Once Germany and Italy attack the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Bulgaria will intervene, and it is impossible to let them go.

It is obviously impossible to expect them to fight all the way to Bulgaria. Germany and Italy are not stupid, leaving the back to the French to implement the brain-dead strategy of harming themselves and benefiting others.

No matter how you look at it, it is more reliable to deal with the French first. Anyway, the Germans and Bulgaria do not border, and they only have to guard against the Austro-Hungarian Empire and West Russia.

If the diplomatic work is done well, West Russia can still be restrained, just guard against the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Normal people know the Austro-Hungarian army,

When defending, the combat effectiveness is 100, but when attacking, the combat effectiveness is only 50. The language problem is the biggest obstacle to the command of the troops.

Don't worry about them, since the French are looking for death, let them go! Ferdinand said lightly

Will Germany and Italy go to war? This problem, everyone probably knows, they have no choice at all, if they don't start a war, they will die!

Either they were sucked to death by war reparations, or they were dragged to death by the economic crisis. Initiating a war, on the contrary, there is still a chance of life.

Even though the chances are slim, with a 99 percent chance of failure, the governments of the two countries still have no choice.

Your Majesty, the anti-oil movement in Europe has broken out again, and the OTA has once again proposed to us to buy the Palestine area. This time, the offer is as high as 80 million pounds! Megeve continued.

Oh, it seems that the Youtai people are really rich, but unfortunately they made a wrong calculation, we can't give up the Palestine area.

Tell them it's better to change the place, how can the holy land be traded with mere money? Ferdinand said solemnly.

You can do whatever you want with money, but people who are too oily probably forget that in this era, the right to speak with a knife is more important.

If it weren't for the religious influence, Ferdinand wouldn't mind selling the land first and then nationalizing them again.

Independent country? What the hell is this? Did I agree?

Within Bulgaria's sphere of influence, the establishment of any country and autonomous government requires the consent of the boss, otherwise it will be destroyed by you in minutes.

This is why, until after the rise of the United States, the oil and Pacific talents will be able to establish an independent country.

Before this, it is not that they have not traded with other big countries, but in the end everyone reneged on their debts.

Little Ferdinand, I am going to abdicate, are you ready? Ferdinand said with a sigh

Little Ferdinand's face changed drastically. The emperor is a lifelong ruler. Under normal circumstances, there is no such thing as abdication. Even if his health fails, the crown prince usually handles state affairs on his behalf. It is rare to abdicate early!

Father, are you kidding me? Little Ferdinand said in disbelief

He didn't think Ferdinand was probing, the European royal family didn't need such probing at all!

Anyway, his succession to the throne is very stable, unless he dies early, he will be the emperor sooner or later.

Of course not. I'm 70 years old this year, and it's time to retire. You're almost 40 years old, and you can take on this burden! Ferdinand said with a smile

If he continued to occupy this position, Ferdinand doubted whether little Ferdinand would be able to become emperor in his lifetime.

Just like the later Prince Charles, who is still the crown prince at the age of 70, his dream is to live a king's addiction in his lifetime, which is enough to see how deep his resentment is.

Before Ferdinand crossed, his dream was still far away. According to the tradition of longevity of the Queen of the British royal family, it is really hard to say who lived longer.

Ferdinand is also in good health now, and he exercises regularly. If he lives for a long time, wouldn't it be a tragedy to boil his son to death?

This kind of thing has happened more than once in Europe, and it usually ends in tragedy.

After all, the crown prince is not easy to do. I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me. I am cautious every day, not daring to take a wrong step. These situations will naturally shorten my life.

But father, you don't need to abdicate early? Little Ferdinand asked suspiciously

That's right, he has grown up, but this has nothing to do with Ferdinand's early abdication. There has never been a saying in European royal families that Lao Tzu will abdicate when his son grows up.

Why not? Once I abdicate, I don't have to be restricted, and I can do what I want, which is also a good thing for me!

I am seventy years old, I have fought for this country for more than forty years, and now it is time to live my own life! Ferdinand said calmly.

Power is a good thing, almost no one can resist the temptation of power, but for Ferdinand, this is not a problem at all.

Even if he has already abdicated, as long as he is willing, the rights in his hands will not be reduced. As the founding monarch, he still has some confidence in this.

Okay, I respect your choice, but father, this is too sudden, I'm not prepared yet! Little Ferdinand said helplessly

He wanted to be emperor, but when the crown came, little Ferdinand became nervous again.

It is not easy to be an emperor, especially there is a second-generation emperor who is compared with Lao Tzu. The current Bulgarian Empire has a comprehensive national strength comparable to that of the British.

The world's largest industrial power, the world's largest army power, the world's largest air force power, the world's second naval power...

With a series of hats down, the Bulgarian Empire in this era is actually the world's first empire. These are all Ferdinand's achievements, and the pressure as his heir can be imagined.

This is also one of the reasons why Ferdinand abdicated early. If he was the emperor for a few more years and overthrew the British Empire, then little Ferdinand would be even more tragic.

Everything has been done by Lao Tzu. How can a second generation who sits and enjoys his success be respected by people?

Maybe every little thing has to be compared with Lao Tzu. How can such a life be glorious?

It doesn't matter, you still have a few months to prepare slowly. I am going to abdicate on the National Day of this year, which happens to be the emperor for a whole year! Ferdinand said jokingly
