No accident, the combat effectiveness of the Greek army is not good, but it is no problem to solve a group of black people who have no organization and fight on their own.
When the riot was successfully subsided, George I was mixed, happy to finally keep the throne, and worried that the price paid by the Greeks was too horrible!
Even hundreds of thousands of pigs are not easy to catch, let alone humans?
Relying on the weapons left by the Ottomans, the exiles in Greece rose up to resist, even if they could not defeat the Greek army, could they not bully the Greek people?
Burn and plunder, they have no pressure. Originally living in other places, they were a fire of stomachs. Previously, there were Ottomans who did not set out to vent. Now that there is no restraint, they will naturally have no regrets.
Then the Greek people suffered again, and by the time the chaos had completely subsided, time had entered 1898.
The economy of the Greek peninsula has completely collapsed, a large number of houses have been burned, a large amount of farmland has been deserted, and hundreds of thousands of Greek people have been displaced due to the tragic death of countless Greek people and urgently need relief.
Seeing the emergency performance of the Greek government, Ferdinand had to admire the means of George I.
Not only has the conflict been successfully transferred, the hidden dangers have been eliminated, the government has also added hundreds of thousands of free labor, alleviating the labor shortage in Greece's post-war reconstruction.
While Ferdinand was worried about the Greeks rising again, George I did another shocking event. On December 1, 1897, he publicly announced that due to the war, the Greek government was unable to return the countries. Borrowing, application for deferred payment failed, the Greek government is now officially bankrupt!
It was Ferdinand, which had long been expected, and was now stunned by the approach of George I. There are countless examples of "government bankruptcy" happening in Europe, and the king borrowed a lot to live on.
But in modern times, it rarely happens again, and everyone will try to avoid it.
The main reason was that the king borrowed money from businessmen in the past, most of them borrowed from Jews. They could use bankruptcy to settle accounts, and anyway, businessmen were not able to recover money!
But now it's not working. If you borrow the money of the big powers, you have to pay it back even if it goes bankrupt! Needless to say that the government went bankrupt, it was a revolution, and the new government had to repay the old debt!
Moreover, this bankruptcy of the Greek government is different from the past, and it collapsed along with their currencies.
Before the war, the value of Drachma was the same as that of Bulgaria's Lev and Romania's Leu. 1 Drachma = 0.29 grams of gold, and now 10,000 drachmas cannot exchange for 0.29 grams of gold!
This is not that George I was distributing money, nor was anyone making counterfeit money. This was decided by the era of the gold standard. In an emergency, the Greek government used the reserves of gold. Now the Greeks lack gold as the principal, and Drachma is almost like waste paper.
The Greek government was completely bankrupt. All Ferdinand's worries were put down. This era was not the era of uncles who were in debt. The powers were not vegetarian, and there was no such thing as wanting to rely on their accounts.
It is time for the creditors to take over the fiscal power of Greece. At least until the loan is paid off, the Greeks will not be able to develop armaments!
Taking into account the actual situation in Greece now, in order to stabilize the situation, countries have to spend a lot of money to help them stabilize the situation and restore currency credit.
The Greek government will soon overtake Bulgaria again in debt. Perhaps the interest on the loans they repay each year will exceed their financial income!
In this way, for Bulgaria, in the next few decades, the threat from Greece will no longer exist!
With one less competitor, Ferdinand's mood is much better, and now his energy has been devoted to the unborn.
Every day I dutifully guarded Senia, waiting for the birth of the little guy.
Oh, it's still early, Senia is only three months pregnant, and she's very early before her child is born.
But for the first time, Ferdinand was so close to his father. He chose to be there every day, just like an ordinary father. He didn't want to miss it ...
"Prince, something is wrong in Cuba!" Foreign Minister Metiev hurried to interrupt Ferdinand's leisure life
"America hands on the Kingdom of Spain?" Ferdinand asked with concern.
On the surface, the Americans and the Spaniards are vying for more Cuba, and it has nothing to do with Bulgaria. In fact, the international situation has long since been triggered.
Once the "American-Spanish War" breaks out, the international situation will change dramatically. When Spain was dragged into the war by the Americans, it was bound to withdraw from the European continent's joint operations against the British.
Once Spain withdraws, the Portuguese are likely to fall back to the British again, block Portuguese Portuguese colonies, and cut off Boer transport lines.
History will return to its origin again. Without the support of continental Europe, the failure of the Boers is a matter of time.
Once the British-Bulgarian war is over, who knows where the idle John Bull will focus his energy?
Of course, Bulgaria is not yet worthy of special attention from the British. Ferdinand is worried that if John Bull's next goal is to fight the bears, if Bulgaria is caught in a pond fish, then he will cry.
The Cuban dispute between the United States and the West is not a two-day issue. As early as 1896, Americans were prepared to interfere with the Cuban revolution by force.
On December 7, 1896, Cleveland made it clear in his message that the Spanish were unable to stabilize the situation in Cuba and their legitimate rights and interests in Cuba had disappeared.
From this moment, the United States Government has no plans to continue to recognize the legal ownership of the Kingdom of Spain over Cuba.
The message further proposes that there are three options currently available to the US government: 1. Recognition of Cuban independence; 2. The purchase of Cuba's sovereignty from the Kingdom of Spain by the United States Government; and 3. Capture of Cuba by force.
After William McKinley assumed the presidency of the United States in 1897, he ordered the Kingdom of Spain to immediately quell the Cuban revolution and complete the reform of Cuba.
The Americans also protested the brutality of the Spanish army in the riots, burning down houses and destroying farmland because American citizens were among the victims!
Well, Americans are yelling and catching thieves. Who doesn't know the inextricable connection between the Cuban Revolutionary Army and the Americans? Without the support of the Americans, the Cuban revolution would have been silenced!
Megeve replied: "Yes! Just yesterday, December 6, President McKinley stated in the congressional message: Because the Spaniards stubbornly rejected the goodwill of the United States Government, if the Spaniards could not immediately restore order in Cuba, The US government will have the right to interfere in Cuba with force!
This can be regarded as an ultimatum. Americans will never give the Kingdom of Spain time and distance from war. Now they only need a suitable excuse! "
Ferdinand knew that the Americans could not bear it any longer. The reason why they dragged on now is to use the Cuban Revolutionary Army to explore the bottom of the Spanish.
After all, Americans in this era did not have the self-confidence of later generations, and they were still afraid of European powers.
However, the poor performance of the Spaniards in the Cuban insurgency has made them give up this fear, driven by their interests, Americans can no longer bear it now.
"What's the attitude of European countries?" Ferdinand asked
Mr Zou said with a brow, "According to the information we have received, this time the British have decided to support this American action!
Most other European countries tend to support Spain in public opinion, but it will be difficult to say whether there will be actual action! "
Ferdinand thought for a while and said, "It seems that the Spaniards are finished this time. With their current strength, the possibility of winning this war is almost zero!
Among the great powers in the Americas, the strongest are the British, followed by the French, and the rest is Spain.
Now that the British have decided to support the Americans, even if the Spaniards have the support of European countries, they can only be regarded as equal, and the two sides still have to fight for strength.
Unleash our influence and create artificial momentum for Spain in public opinion! "
The major event of interference in the US-Spanish war is not yet Bulgarian's ability to join, but it is still possible to support Spain in public opinion.
Anyway, now in continental Europe, there is no good opinion of the outbreak households in the United States. It is a big thing that the people who attack them are very happy.
For Ferdinand, he supports any action that can weaken the United States, provided that Bulgaria cannot take the lead!
Just as the ugly face of the U.S. government is exposed in public opinion now, for those who want to emigrate to the United States, I am afraid to think again. Is it time to change places? This can also be regarded as an invisible weakening.
Of course, this does not require Ferdinand to make rumors. Americans' international reputation is really not good this time. They have too much black history, and it's too late to wash them.
"Yes! But His Excellency, what is our government's position? Should we also explicitly support Spain?" Metiev asked
Ferdinand didn't even think about it and said, "Ask the attitude of the St. Petersburg government, and we agree with them!"
Such a good opportunity to be loyal to the boss, how can Ferdinand miss it? Anyway, just express your opinions without the price of a dime, but leave this opportunity to show hatred to the Russians!
Standing out now to support the Spanish will definitely upset the British and Americans. Of course, the attitude of Americans can be ignored now! As for winning the Spanish?
OK If the Spanish can win, it will still be valuable! Ferdinand doesn't mind taking this lead, unfortunately this is impossible!
Now if we stand up in support of Americans, it is estimated that it will make all Europe unhappy. Should Bulgaria mingle in Europe?
This is simply impossible to choose, at least the Bulgarian boss is still a bear, then there is no feasibility!
American favor? This is the most useless, they only recognize benefits! The French are an example. Fortunately, they helped Americans win the War of Independence, but it was the Americans who fell at the critical moment!
This is one of the reasons why Americans are rejected by Europe. Even if you want to annex the French colony, pay attention to the impact!
As for the attitude of the Russians, there is no doubt that they support Spain. Who told the Americans to suffer a big loss on the Alaska issue? If not revenge, is it still a bear?
Moreover, in the Far East, Americans are still supporting the Japanese behind the scenes in an attempt to undermine the Russian Far East strategy!
