Mediterranean Hegemony Road

This is not the end, the conflict between Britain and Russia is not only in history! The conflict between the two countries is not small at all. It lasted until 1907, before Russia was defeated in the Russian-Japanese War, and the bears were the primary enemy of the British!

Since the late 1870s, the conflict between Britain and Russia in the Persian Gulf region has not stopped, and it is now in full swing.

Due to the special geographical location of the Persian Gulf, it is the only way for the British to enter India by land, and it is also an ideal base for the British to enter the two rivers and expand to the Ottomans. The British Empire will not give up anyway.

In the same way, the ambitious hairy bear also has ideas about India and the Ottoman Empire, and naturally he is not willing to let the United Kingdom occupy the Persian Gulf and block the way forward.

In the Persian Gulf region, the two countries are engaged in fierce competition over industries such as railways, loans, trade and even telegraphy.

(Don't be misled by myths and novels! Why participate in World War I, fight soy sauce, Ritian Dashen takes control of the Persian Gulf, extracts oil, John Bull and Hairy Bear will go all out!)

Then turn our attention to the Grave of the Empire, thanks to the American Empire, this famous Afghanistan that everyone is familiar with!

From the second half of the 19th century, hairy bears began to expand wildly in Central Asia and soon entered Afghanistan.

Britain quit, and then there was British India. Immediately start interfering, Mao Xiong is not easy to provoke, why listen to you John Bull, the Navy can't go ashore no matter how awesome it is!

Then Afghanistan suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck. Two robbers invaded one after another, then threw themselves into the streets and were divided up! However, the conflict in the region continues.

In 1891, looking at the world map, Mao Xiong was all enemies from the word to the east, the ability to pull hatred was just now, and he was isolated by foreign powers diplomatically! Forced to draw closer to a former enemy, relations with the same diplomatically isolated France are heating up.

Before, Bulgaria, which was not worth mentioning, and now the St. Petersburg government has also begun to pay attention.

With the strategic focus of the Russian Empire moving eastward, St. Petersburg has decided to adopt a conservative strategy in Europe and a limited strategic contraction in the Balkans. Building allies is a good choice!

In this international context, Ferdinand adopted a diplomatic strategy of being close to Russia. Under the intention of Lang Youqing and his concubine, the two sides quickly reached the present.

Ferdinand intends to cut through the mess quickly, and sign a peace treaty as soon as possible while Count Paul Shuvalov is in a daze, so as not to have too many dreams.

...

Ferdinand did not have the calmness of the past, and said resolutely: I asked you to come to a meeting today, not to discuss. So many meetings that should be discussed have already been discussed!

I won't say more nonsense! I'm calling you here now to negotiate with Russia! The international situation is ever-changing, and now Russia is in a diplomatic stalemate. This is our best chance!

After this village, there is no such shop!

You must strive to sign the treaty as soon as possible, so as to obtain the greatest benefit for Bulgaria! In short, the sincerity of the Russian Empire this time is stronger than ever, although the lion opens its mouth, let's talk!

You are responsible for the specific details! I will personally participate in the main negotiation!

Okay, let's break up if there is no objection!

After speaking, Ferdinand ignored everyone's still thinking and went back to rest! Today he is really too tired, fooling people is not an easy job. (That, the author of fooling people is not good at it, usually belongs to the fooled)

Lying on the 20-square-meter bed, Ferdinand tossed and turned, sleepless all night. (please forgive poverty for limiting my imagination)

Looking and looking, it is cold and clear, miserable and miserable. When it is warm and cold, it is the most difficult to rest.

The next morning, Ferdinand appeared with dark circles under his eyes. Proud of the superb makeup skills in the 19th century, he decided to choose a pure natural appearance.

this time,

Bulgaria is a good illustration of cutting the mess with a quick knife. I just visited Sofia, and Count Paul hurried to the negotiating table before he had time to adjust his status!

Today's division of labor is very simple. Ferdinand is responsible for pretending to be coercive and finalizing the general direction. The specific content is the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In order to show the importance Bulgaria attaches to negotiations, the location was chosen at Ferdinand's palace. He wouldn't admit that he didn't want to ride that carriage because he was lazy!

...

In order to speed up the decision, Ferdinand put forward constructive comments: Count Paul, if we continue to talk like this, it is estimated that you will still be sitting here next year today! I think St. Petersburg, like us, does not want to drag on indefinitely. Let's just negotiate in groups!

Paul Shuvalov pondered for a moment, thinking in his heart. After the disintegration of the German-Russian Reinsurance Treaty, I have been left idle. If I don't show my results, I will not be regarded as an incompetent by the Tsar! Talking separately will not affect the result. If it's a big deal, just take a look!

His Excellency the Grand Duke is right. For the friendship between our two countries, we really need to finalize the treaty as soon as possible. On behalf of the Russian Empire, I agree to negotiate in groups!

There was a roar of applause in the venue, and everything was developing in a good direction. Russia believes that the most important military alliance, Ferdinand signed with Nikolai before, is now mainly in commercial trade.

Ferdinand personally approached Count Paul Shuvalov to chat. No, it is to discuss the issue that Bulgaria is most concerned about - the introduction of population.

He still resorted to the trick of flickering, Count Paul, as far as I know, the Russian Empire has developed rapidly in recent years!

At the end of the 19th century, Russia was a glorious period. Its influence spread from Europe to Asia, radiating the world, and it was one of the main challengers of world hegemony. At that time, the hairy bear was full of confidence!

Speaking of the Russian Empire, Count Paul Shuvalov became excited all of a sudden, and said with great joy: Yes, Your Excellency, the great Russian Empire, under the blessing of God, is developing by leaps and bounds. It can be expected that in the near future, Go beyond hating John Bull!

Ferdinand also smiled cooperatively and complimented: The Russian Empire is the successor of the ancient Roman Empire. It will only be a matter of time before it surpasses the United Kingdom. The future Europe and even the world will be led by your country!

Paul Shuvalov has been a little bit floating, but in the end he is still the elite of the times, and he is not complacent. I sorted out my emotions a little, but I couldn't hide my pride and said: Your Excellency, we still have a long way to go to surpass the UK. If Bulgaria joins, I believe this time will be shortened a lot!

Oh, Count Paul, you are wrong, we are already allies, I guess you have heard some wind! Ferdinand showed a proud expression

Paul Shuvalov was taken aback, it seemed that the secret contract really existed, damn the foreign ministry, why don't you tell me the specifics? Could it be that I will leak it!

By the way, I heard that in recent years, the number of immigrants from the Russian Empire in the Americas has increased greatly. What's going on? Ferdinand asked after changing his style.

(Ask for tickets, ask for support!!! There is another chapter in the evening, it is estimated that it will be sent around 12 o’clock!!)
