The news of Eder's appointment as king of Bulgaria quickly spread around the world.

Unlike Bulgaria and Romania, who cheered and cheered, other European countries generally held a neutral and opposed attitude towards Eder's appointment as Bulgaria's king. Only Italy, which has close relations with Romania, expressed congratulations.

Neutral countries are mainly small, irrelevant countries, as well as Germany, which is struggling with its economy.

The main opponents are the United Kingdom, France, the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Greece, Turkey and other countries, and even Poland, which has close economic ties, has some objections.

And Poland's opposition is also mainly afraid that Romania will use its energy in the direction of the Balkans, not as hostile to the Soviet Union as before.

Turkey, on the other hand, was afraid that the merger of Bulgaria and Romania would put itself under more pressure after Eder became the king of Bulgaria. You must know that Istanbul was originally called Constantinople, the holy place of the Orthodox Church. In case, with the instigation of religious forces, the Romanians are overwhelmed and want to retake Constantinople, it will be difficult for Turkey to do it.

As for Yugoslavia and Greece, of course, it is more because of the ownership of the Macedonia region. Originally, the two countries were not afraid of Bulgaria, which had shrunk in strength after the First World War, and even showed a trace of contempt. But now with Eder ascending the throne of Bulgaria, a powerful Romania has been drawn, which makes the two countries extremely nervous. For fear that Romania will encourage Bulgaria to take back its homeland, which will make it difficult for the two countries to resist.

Because Romania is already the de facto leader in the Balkans, but the two countries have better relations with Britain and France and have more interests, so they can't switch sides.

As for the opposition of the Soviet Union, they were a little helpless. They were both happy and surprised that Eder was the king of Bulgaria. Because with Eder taking over as king of Bulgaria, it means that Romania will gradually penetrate its energy into the Mediterranean, which can ease the pressure on the Soviet Union in Ukraine.

You must know that the Kyiv Military Region is currently the military region with the most troops stationed in the Soviet Union, and it is also the military region with the heaviest tasks. Its main purpose is to watch over Romania, the most stubborn anti-Soviet element.

As Romania's attention shifts, it will inevitably make the western border of the Soviet Union more secure, and it will also reduce the pressure on the Soviet Union and better serve its Second Five-Year Plan.

Surprisingly, the Balkans has always been a battleground for traditional Russia, for which Russia suffered a discolored fate in World War I. After the Soviet Union regained its strength, it also wanted to continue to invest in it for its own benefit.

But with Bulgaria being turned into a country by Romania (not actually,

But the Soviet Union thought it was a matter of time), then Romania had a head start in the region, which was still very bad for the Soviet Union.

For this reason, the Red Star newspaper of the Soviet Union has repeatedly commented on this, sternly accusing Romania of destroying the peaceful environment in the region. Several military exercises have even been organized in Ukraine, each on a larger scale. But Romania was unmoved and made no sign of the Soviet Union's drastic reaction.

The United Kingdom and France are much simpler. In order to prevent Romania from appearing in the Mediterranean Sea, this already lively sea area is even more intense. Moreover, the two countries are the big brothers of Greece and Yugoslavia, and they are naturally obliged to help them avoid losses. Of course, the deeper reason for the two countries is that Romania, which has grown and grown, is seizing the market, which has damaged the interests of Britain and France.

Of course, Britain and France, which are still in charge of the European order, did not intend to give up after Eder became the king of Bulgaria. On the one hand, they increased their support for the opposition forces, and on the other hand, taking out Bulgaria is a matter of the defeated country. Demanded that the Kingdom of Bulgaria must abide by the Treaty of Neuilly, and in particular demanded that Bulgaria not challenge it.

Its main intention is to require Bulgaria to still recognize the territories it ceded to Yugoslavia and Greece without raising any objections. In addition, the size of the 20,000 troops currently reserved by Bulgaria must not be expanded. In addition to reassuring Yugoslavia and Greece, the British and French demands also had the intention of creating trouble for Edel.

Because with Eder's entry into Bulgaria and the return of South Budoroga and other places to Bulgaria, the self-confidence of the Bulgarian people has been unprecedentedly improved. Some media have shouted slogans in the newspapers to let the Macedonian people return to Bulgaria.

If Edel agreed to the demands of Britain and France, then its status in the Bulgarian people would be greatly reduced. If Eder does not agree, he will get hostility from Yugoslavia and Greece, and the economic, trade and diplomatic relations between the two countries to Romania and Bulgaria will be dealt a huge blow. And it will also affect neighboring countries such as Hungary and the Czech Republic, because people are willing to see an ambitious country around them.

Moreover, this problem is not so easy to solve for Edel. The Versailles system after World War I has been recognized by all countries. If Romania turns against the tide, it will give Romania’s diplomacy a heavy blow. And for Romania, he is a vested interest layer, or a vested interest layer with huge benefits.

Therefore, Eder's opposition is to disappoint the Kingdom of Romania, and if he agrees, it is to disappoint the Kingdom of Bulgaria, and he has to express his position.

After careful consideration, Edel chose a favorable attitude. Because he is very clear where his basic plate is, and in terms of strength, he must also give priority to the attitude of the Kingdom of Romania. Moreover, Bulgaria still needs to recover slowly in the country. Its internal affairs are uneven and its national strength is weak. It has not yet formed a whole with Romania, so it can challenge Britain and France.

Moreover, he was very satisfied with the stipulation of the Ney Peace Treaty, which limited the Bulgarian army to 20,000, and had no plans to amend it. Although the Bulgarian Army expressed its neutrality in the chaos and did not oppose Eder's entry, he was still dissatisfied with it. The Bulgarian military is too deeply involved in politics, which makes Eder very afraid of it. Looking at the chaotic situation in Bulgaria, the military has made several moves to exacerbate the chaos of the situation.

And Eder has long had the idea of ​​cleaning the Bulgarian army, especially the current Eder Guard is in an embarrassing situation in Bulgaria. The guards who have completed the escort task should be disbanded according to reason, but Edel is reluctant to disband them. And the Bulgarian military resisted accepting him, which angered Eder. He has become a king himself, and the Bulgarian military still seems to be a self-contained body.

And this British and French coercion gave Edel an opportunity to promise to limit the number of troops, leaving the military speechless.

The Guard was then streamlined and incorporated into the newly created armed police force. These backbones are Bulgarian officers and soldiers in the Romanian army, just to make them work. Moreover, this armed force is a police officer, even if it is equipped with a tank, it is a police officer who drives a tank. Britain and France have nothing to say.

This can also leave an armed force loyal to itself in Bulgaria, which is also very useful for consolidating its position.

As for the indemnity has already been paid, Edel ignored it, could it be possible to get it back?

And the ceded territories have no strength to take back, so this is no loss to Bulgaria, the only loss is the swollen self-confidence. In this regard, Eder believes that it is not bad to suffer a repression to make Bulgaria's sense of Britain and France worse.

So in the end, the Bulgarian government made a public statement, declaring that it was willing to abide by the Treaty of Neuilly and had no intention of revising it.
