Bulgarian Empire - v6 Chapter 42

On March 7, 1941, Bulgaria issued the “Report to the People of England”. A large number of leaflets fell from the sky on that day, bringing the news to London.

What makes it even more difficult for the London government to accept is that Bulgaria has even announced its plans for dealing with the UK. The main points are as follows:

1. Acknowledge the failure of the war and be responsible for this world war;

2. Hand over war criminals and send them to the International Tribunal for trial; (still in preparation for formation)

3. Ceded all overseas colonies;

4. The Irish established their country independently;

5. All overseas assets of the British are confiscated and used as war indemnities; (including British overseas creditor’s rights, all related to the victorious country will be erased)

6. Disband the Royal Navy and transfer all warships and military bases to the disposal of the Holy Alliance;

7. Disarm the British, and only keep the police force to maintain law and order. The Holy Alliance is responsible for British national security; (Note: military expenses still have to be paid)

8. It is forbidden to engage in any military production and research and development, and all weapons are imported from overseas;

9. From the date of the announcement, the British government was ordered to surrender immediately and unconditionally, and 5 tons of gold should be added as war reparations for each day of delay.

After the release of the Bao Nine Articles, the British Isles were in an uproar. If they agreed to such a condition, they would not want to turn around.

It is enough to cede the colonies. Now that the war has progressed, everyone knows that overseas colonies cannot be kept.

There is no way to confiscate overseas assets and erase debts. Who would call them a defeated country?

Disarmament and prohibition of engaging in the military industry are very deadly. Without our own armed forces, what else is there to make a comeback?

Even worse, they don’t know that Bulgaria is already preparing to form the United Nations, and this funding must be decided from the defeated country.

At present, some people in the Bulgarian government have proposed that the United Nations guarantee the national defense and security of the defeated country. The defeated country will naturally pay for this, and use the money they should have spent on military expenditures on the administrative expenses of the United Nations.

However, it has not yet been approved. The main reason is that the Bulgarian military is willing to undertake this business. If feasible, the service can be extended to other countries in the future.

Taking into account the issue of national image, the military’s claims were rejected by the government. The blatant collection of protection fees was too ugly, and in the peaceful era, the money might not be collected.

As the creator of the new international order, Bulgaria will definitely be the defender of the world order in the future. People don’t need security protection in the peaceful era, and it is impossible for Bulgaria to raise war because of this?

These issues are still in a state of controversy and will not be settled for a while.

This world victory is relatively straightforward. Bulgaria is about to reap a large overseas colony, and the globalization strategy can be launched soon.

In order to avoid the lessons of the Americans in the previous life, Ferdinand made the decision early to place all military bases on his overseas territories.

In other words, the lease of territory will not happen. Even if it involves the territory of another independent country, the Bulgarian government will buy it out at once, or give money or exchange territory.

Solve all the problems once and for all, and save people from being expelled from the country in the peaceful era. Everyone’s face is not good.

London

After receiving the “Report to the People of England” issued by the Bulgarian government, the London government became popular.

Some people advocate the death to the end and move the capital to fight again, while others advocate surrendering to stop losses. In the final analysis, it is a matter of interest.

As the promoters of this war, the British have already suffered heavy losses, and basically lost all their wealth. Many interest groups that depend on the existence of the British Commonwealth have also suffered heavy losses.

Prime Minister Churchill has locked himself in the house for the whole morning. What should the British Commonwealth do? This is a heavy topic.

If Bulgaria still has opponents, he doesn’t mind continuing to stick to it, but unfortunately there will be no more evenly matched presence in this world.

He had to admit that provoking this war was a wrong decision. If the London government did not support the Germans in breaking the European order from the beginning, the war would not be fought at all.

Without the full support of France and Spain, the Bulgarians are still in the Mediterranean. How can they easily come over?

As long as they hold the Strait of Gibraltar, the Bulgarians can only sigh. As for bypassing the Cape of Good Hope to attack the British Isles, the most radical generals in the world dare not do it.

Then under mutual jealousy, this war will not break out, and no one wants to let a third party take advantage.

“Dear Prime Minister, it’s time to eat!” the attendant reminded carefully

“Take it all away, I have no appetite!” Churchill said weakly

At this time, he couldn’t help but envy his predecessor. As soon as he left, the world war broke out, and all responsibilities must be carried by their cabinet.

Stupid, incompetent, war mad, idiot, idiot…

A series of adjectives came out of Churchill’s mind, and these words would not be long before they would be thrown on his head.

“Your Excellency, the king invites you to come and discuss matters!” A familiar voice rang in his ears

“Earl Capas, why is the king looking for me?” Churchill asked in surprise.

The British royal family has lived the life of a rubber stamp since George V, and usually rarely interferes in politics.

“Sorry, Prime Minister, this question is not convenient to disclose. Today, cabinet officials have been invited, and a few generals will also go!” Karpas said hesitantly

Churchill’s face sank. At this time, the king summoned so many people to discuss matters. It would certainly not be a trivial matter. It might have something to do with this war.

Normally he, the prime minister, could not buy the king’s account, but now he can’t. With the continuous defeat on the battlefield, the prestige of the cabinet has fallen to the bottom.

Now if the king removes him as prime minister and sends him to court, it is estimated that most British people will applaud. It can be said that he is now the worst prime minister in British history.

…

“It’s all here, so I won’t talk nonsense. Everyone knows the situation outside. At this time, everyone can make a decision!” Edward VIII said helplessly.

If possible, he is unwilling to come out to be this villain, but unfortunately, people must come to fight the black pot. The best choice is this cabinet.

Only by ending the war as soon as possible and restoring peace will it be in the interests of the royal family, and politicians will not be so naive.

In fact, the Holy League has been very restrained, at least not even bombing his palace, of course, the reasons behind this are rarely known.

The reason on the surface is indeed very lofty. Pilots refuse to be kingslayers. This statement holds true in continental Europe.

Killing the king in Europe is a big taboo, even if it is just a manslaughter, there will be no good life. In order not to be worn by their own kings, it is normal for them to make this decision.

Everyone in the cabinet darkened, and it was time to take the blame. The people responsible for this war cannot be a consortium, even if they are one of the black hands.

It is even more impossible to be a king, Bulgaria will not accept this statement, and all monarchy countries will not agree.

The military is not good either. People still have robs in their hands. Now they can’t afford to provoke them. At most, a few scapegoats will come out to court with them.

“Your Majesty, once you have agreed to the enemy’s terms, the foundation of the British Empire is over!” Churchill said with a gloomy expression.

“Prime Minister, if you don’t agree to the enemy’s terms, is the foundation of the British Empire still there?” a nobleman sneered.

“Duke of Lanster, we still have the Royal Navy, as long as the navy’s foundation in the British Empire is there!” Churchill roared

“The Royal Navy is indeed still there, but if the war continues, the British Isles will be gone!” The Duke of Lanster sneered.

Britain’s foundation is in the British Isles, and this is a fact that cannot be changed. Without the British Isles, the so-called overseas foundation is a joke.

For example, in the three North American countries, the number of English descent here is less than 10%. Can this be the heir to the British?

Another example is the Dominion of Canada. The number of English descents is only two tiers, followed by French immigrants. The numbers of both sides are very close.

This is the biggest problem. Let the British people resist desperately and give the foundation of the British Empire to others to enjoy. It is estimated that any British people will have opinions.

Why do you want to work for others for nothing?

Moving the capital to North America became a fallacy from the beginning, unless it was possible to move to the British Isles together.

Edward VIII waved his hand and said, “Well, at this time, there is no need for everyone to argue.

General Montgomery, I want to know if we can defend the British Isles from a military standpoint, I want to hear the truth! “

“His Majesty the King, I regret that I cannot give an answer, but now the most important question is not military, but strategic supplies!” Montgomery frowned and said

This is a very clever art of speaking. He did not directly say whether he could hold the British Isles, but directly brought the topic to strategic materials, and everyone turned their attention to the cabinet.

“I’m sorry, we can’t guarantee the supply of strategic materials. With the loss of Ireland, we can’t even guarantee food supply!” The Secretary of the Interior said with a wry smile.

Originally, the potato production on the island of Ireland was not worth mentioning for the British Empire, which had a vast colony, but at this time, it has actually become the last straw that crushes them.

At its peak, the population of the island of Ireland once exceeded 8 million, and they were all fed on small potatoes. Now there are only more than three million people left, and there will naturally be a surplus of harvest potatoes.

Coupled with the advancement of agricultural technology and the inclination of government policies after the outbreak of the war, the production of potatoes on the island of Ireland continues to grow, and it has become one of the most important food sources for the British people.

Now that the meeting has proceeded, there is nothing left to say. The food issue cannot be resolved. It is estimated that the British people will overthrow them without waiting for the enemy to come over.

Churchill’s murderous gaze was ignored by everyone. The proposal to move the capital to North America was only supported by civil servants and financial capitalists. The king and the noble army were firm opponents.

Interest determines the position.

High-level officials do not matter, even if they leave the British Isles, they are still civil servants of the Commonwealth.

Capital knows no borders. For capitalists, they are still capitalists in a different country. If they win, they will make money. If they lose, they will pat their buttocks and leave. They did the same in history.

But for kings and nobles, this is very fatal. A large number of industries are located in the mainland, and they can’t move home at all. Once they leave the British Isles, they will be bereaved dogs.

There is no way for the army. There are too many of them to move past. If the families of the soldiers are abandoned, prepare to be shot on the battlefield!

“If you don’t surrender, let’s start voting, please raise your hands if you oppose surrender!” Edward VIII said decisively.

Churchill hesitated, raised his hand halfway, and put it down again. There is no value in opposition at this time. Maybe he raises his hand now, and after a while, he will become a spy of the Holy Alliance.

There is no trifling matter in political struggle~www.mtlnovel.com~ As the prime minister at this time, if he does not come out to take responsibility, then his value will not exist.

“Passed unanimously, the cabinet will be submitted to Congress tomorrow for a vote!” Edward VIII said with a sneer

Since the attack on London, the British government has moved into the state of its offices, and the Royal Palace is one of the few ground-level office buildings.

The current palace looks like a big factory. Several aircraft factories have been moved in, and Edward VIII has made room for them.

Parliament naturally moved over, otherwise the air-raid shelters underneath would not have such a large space. After all, the war had only broken out for a year, and the British had not had time to empty London.

…

On March 12, 1941, the British Parliament passed the cabinet’s surrender proposal with the highest efficiency. At 7:40 that night, Edward VIII ordered the British army to cease resistance and surrender to the Holy League.

The European war in the world war ended. On March 13, the Bulgarian government announced that it would provide humanitarian aid to the British. One million tons of relief food will be shipped from Constantinople the next day.

Well, this is only an information released to the public. In fact, this is also one of the conditions for the British surrender. If they can’t eat enough, why do the British surrender?

On March 14th, the Allied Forces of the Holy Alliance entered London and began short-term military control over the British islands. The island of Ireland has been established as an independent nation, so the Holy Alliance does not need to worry about it.

Now that both Britain and Germany have surrendered, the investigation of war criminals has been put on the agenda again.

By convention, after the establishment of the International Tribunal, governments of various countries can prosecute war criminals based on actual conditions, and then the International Tribunal will conduct public trials.

Of course, since it is an international tribunal, it is naturally necessary to collect evidence. This trial cannot be started in a short time.
