A wave of unrest is rising again!
The year 1909 just ended was a year of turbulence, and the international situation has undergone tremendous changes!
At the beginning of the next year, the "Kavara shelling incident" occurred. Then the Near East War broke out in Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire. Then, with the intervention of the Germans, an anti-protection alliance was established, and the second Balkan war broke out!
政 The coup d'etat in the Ottoman Empire, the Turkish Al-Shabaab took the stage of history, the anti-protection alliance was defeated, and the international situation in the Near East changed dramatically.
The relationship between Bulgaria and the Germans deteriorated rapidly, and at the same time the contradictions between the Allies and Allies deepened. Under the influence of the Second Balkan War, the main factions of Russia and France began to rise, laying the foundation for the outbreak of the First World War. Hidden danger!
The British's strategic layout in the European continent has been initially completed. After the Second Balkan War, the negotiations between Britain and Germany on limiting the naval arms race have thus ended!
可能性 The possibility of a British-German alliance expected by the Germans is completely shattered. Britain and Germany have officially entered into an opposition and the naval arms race has been upgraded!
In the same year, the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Siam signed the Bangkok Treaty, and the British achieved their expansion in the Malay Peninsula.
Alas, the former Japanese Prime Minister Ito Bowen was assassinated in North Korea. Since then, the Japanese government has taken the * no return road, and along with the Japanese Army has launched a coup, but temporarily suppressed by the Japanese government!
古 Ancient Eastern countries, constitutional reform failed, countdown to the start of the Manchu dynasty, internal conflicts intensified, and Zhang Zhidong, the last banner of the Westernization Movement in the same year, died of illness, announcing the end of an era.
Uh ...
The international situation has affected the whole world. The influence of Ferdinand's butterfly on the world has become greater and greater, and history has changed beyond recognition.
斐 In the Sofia Palace, Ferdinand is professor of several sons and emperors, and Minister of Foreign Affairs Metiev rushed in.
"Your Majesty, something happened!"
Ferdinand watched Megeve's nervousness. He froze at first, then responded, wondering: "What happened?"
Megeve worked hard to calm down his emotions and suppressed his emotions as much as possible, saying, "Your Majesty, just now the Embassy of Berlin sent a message. The German Foreign Minister announced at today's press conference that Romania, Ottoman Empire and Montenegro officially With the alliance, the situation in Europe is about to change! "
Jeff Ferdinand's face changed greatly, although he had expected it, but he still did not expect it to happen so soon!
Alas, this is also the butterfly effect of Ferdinand. The Germans want to draw the Kingdom of Montenegro and Romania to form an anti-guarantee alliance. How can it not give a promise?
If there is no endorsement by the allies, even if the two countries are dissatisfied with Bulgaria, they will not come forward!
It's time for the Germans to fulfill their promises. After the Second Balkan War, both the Kingdom of Montenegro and Romania are facing severe military pressure, and the Germans are desperately needed!
The Turkish Al-Shabaab, which has just come into power in the Ottoman Empire, also needs to produce a satisfactory answer.
In this context, wouldn't it be chilling for the Germans not to let the three younger brothers join the alliance?
You have to know that the world war has not happened yet, as a powerful family, you still have to face, even if you have an alliance, you must look at your strength!
Otherwise, if everyone puts down their faces and pulls the younger brother directly, it will not be the "Three Nations Alliance" and the "Four Countries Agreement."
If the allies start to join the younger brothers, then the allies will inevitably follow up, and then the countries of the European continent will be forced to stand in line. In this way, the scale of the world war is likely to further expand!
Ferdinand must not be worried. Bulgaria is now surrounded by allies. If the scale of the world war is further expanded, who can guarantee that the allies will win?
In the history of parallel time and space, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and other countries have chosen neutral. Now Ferdinand is not sure what choices they will make.
But one thing is certain, the choice of these countries will have a very significant impact on the international situation and even affect the trend of the world war!
After thinking about it, Jeff Ferdinand said: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs communicates with the other three countries as soon as possible to find out what plans they have, and we are ready to respond!"
In any case, Bulgaria's geographical location determines that they can only be a lonely couple, and their influence on the European continent is destined to be incomparable with other European powers!
To be honest, Ferdinand does not want too many countries to join the Allies. This will dilute Bulgaria's right to speak in the alliance, and more importantly, it will affect the distribution of benefits after the war.
After all, the spoils are limited. With more people participating, everyone gets less. This is inevitable!
If the direction of the world war does not change greatly, after the end of World War I, Bulgaria has a great possibility to become one of the giants at the Paris Peace Conference, and it has sufficient say in the distribution of post-war benefits!
This is completely different from Italy and the United States, which are crowded out in parallel spacetime!
The Italians are considered to be two or five in Britain and France. They are not their own. They have always been lower in status than their allies. Their right to speak is inherently low. Coupled with their poor performance in the World War, it is impossible to get everyone. Respect!
美国人 The Americans joined late. What's more important is that Britain and France saw the powerful national power of Americans and worried that Americans would come out and rob them of their world supremacy.
After Wilson put forward the "Fourteen Point Principle", it revealed the strategic goals of the United States after World War I.
That is: Americans hope to expand their sphere of influence around the world with strong economic strength, under the guise of national self-determination, reduction of armaments, in exchange for support from world public opinion, weakening competitors such as Britain and France, and then politically intervene through the establishment of international alliance With a strategy to control the post-war world situation and participate in a colony that divides the world.
Then the contradiction between the two sides can no longer be eased. Britain and France cannot tolerate such an act of stealing power from the United States, immediately put aside the contradiction between the two sides and jointly expelled the Americans!
保加利亚 In this regard, Bulgaria, Britain and France have common interests! Does Ferdinand want to bring the colony home? How could the colonial system collapse so early?
压制 The joint suppression of the United States after the war and the lock-up of the new Soviet Union are the benefits of continuing the alliance between the three countries!
Alas, the prerequisite is that the situation on the European continent will not change much. Britain and France were hit hard by the Germans. It is difficult to maintain the world supremacy; but they cannot be defeated half-way like the Second World War and directly give up world hegemony!
In this context, they will need Bulgaria as an ally! In the distribution of benefits after the war, Bulgaria will be divided!
Therefore, for Ferdinand, it is now better to have fewer variables. The expansion of the scope of the World War is not in Bulgaria's interest.
Uh ...
Facts have proved that to play diplomacy, British talent is the king of this era! While Ferdinand was worried that the scope of the future world war would be expanded, the London government had come up with a practical plan!
Now there are many countries in the European continent that tend to be Germans. If the two sides put aside their horses and horses and directly persecuted the national teams, most of the Allies will fall behind.
No way, Although the strength of allies is strong, the ability to pull hatred is directly proportional to their strength!
At this point, there is no way. The old empire occupies a lot of interests, and naturally it is accompanied by a large number of enemies. Interest is the source of conflict!
But it doesn't matter, there is a third option-neutral!
After all, in this era, the influence of Britain and France is unparalleled. Among the European countries, there are those who favor the alliance, and naturally they also favor the allies. At present, the strength of the allies is still dominant.
Under this background, under the operation of John Bull, the time of each country's standing team has been greatly delayed.
Now that the Allies are restrained, the Germans can only entice and draw attention to other countries. As for intimidation? Will William II also worry about people relying directly on the Allies?
Alas, maybe the Germans were aware of this, or the German government was confused. In short, after pulling on board ships in Montenegro, Romania and the Ottoman Empire, they also temporarily stopped operations.
Seeing this, Ferdinand was deeply relieved. In any case, the European continent finally restored peace!
As for how long this calmness can be maintained, Ferdinand has no expectations at all. In the next few years, the international situation is bound to change.
