Mediterranean Hegemony Road - v6 Chapter 29
Sofia
As the situation continues to change, the division of interests of allies must also be roughly determined to ensure that everyone does not have a major conflict in their core interests.
Each ally must divide a piece of meat according to their own strength, in order to mobilize everyone’s enthusiasm, active participation and passive participation. The power they can exert is completely different.
The French’s position need not worry. Before the British did not abandon the Germans, they were Bulgaria’s strongest allies. Defeating the Germans was their main strategic goal right now.
As the first to drag the British into the war, the French will naturally be hit by the British. The continuous bombardment now is the best proof.
However, compared with the hundreds of years of hatred in Britain and France, adding this grievance does not seem to be too much. The French are more indebted.
The French people are now struggling to defeat the two main enemies at the same time. This is in line with public opinion.
“His Majesty, the French government made two requirements: first, the separation of Britain and Germany after the war; second, they put forward their ambitions on the British colonies!” Said Foreign Minister Coleman
“Where does the French want?” Ferdinand Jr. asked with great concern.
Coleman replied: “The French have a lot of goals in mind, and they are all good places, for example: India, South Africa, Southeast Asia, Australia and other regions.
However, France has put forward many places without making specific requirements. It seems that they are just testing our attitude, and the real goal is still uncertain. “
This is the most commonly used diplomatic method. No one will expose their bottom line at the beginning. Except for the separation of Britain and Germany, which is a well-known French strategic goal, there is no need to keep it secret.
“Then choosing a colony for the French, Fu Shuo doesn’t matter at all, but we can’t let it be strategically important!” Ferdinand Little said with a smile.
“Your Majesty, let the French go to the Americas, Canada is a suitable bargaining chip!” Chancellor of the Exchequer Merkel suggested
The most obvious feature of Canada is that it is large enough, the land is wide and the population is scarce and the resources are abundant. Unfortunately, it is too far away from Bulgaria to control and become a chicken land.
“I’m afraid this is not the case. Canada has established an autonomous government. Even if they leave the British Empire, they can exist independently.
The French are not fools. They have limited strength. It is easy to win the Canadian Autonomous Government, and it is difficult to rule Canada! Coleman shook his head and said
Bulgaria is not interested in ruling Canada, let alone the French, even if it is closer, the cost of this rule is not affordable.
“Maybe you can find it in Asia, such as part of the British-Indian colony!” Prime Minister Tolski suggested
(Note: The Governor’s District of India includes areas such as India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Myanmar.)
“No! The Indian region is the best part of the British Empire colony. If we can get here, we will get great help financially!” Chancellor of the Exchequer Merkel hurriedly opposed
The value of India is too high. It is high enough to impress anyone. Obtaining this region is enough to increase Bulgaria’s overall national strength.
Up to now, it is very difficult for Bulgaria to improve its overall national strength. India alone has such great value. Merkel’s attitude is actually the view of most people.
Torkis shook his head and said, “Mr. Merkel, although India is good, it is not suitable for us. The local population is too large, which is inconsistent with our current national policy.
There are more valuable colonies in this world, and our energy is not unlimited. It is impossible to occupy all of them. Now we must make trade-offs.
With the rise of nationalism, the cost of ruling such a populous region is also getting higher and higher, and it is only a matter of time before the collapse of the colonial system in the future.
For us, the first thing to occupy is a strategic place. For example, the British naval bases all over the world, especially the island areas, are not to be missed.
Then we are aiming for sparsely populated and resource-rich land. After occupying these areas, our energy is almost exhausted! “
Colonial Minister Donald said, “But His Excellency the Prime Minister, who can bring us benefits in the short term, is precisely such a populous place like India.
As for the collapse of the future colonial system, this is not a matter of a day or two. For the convenience of rule, the British can merge a large number of states in India. We can also split them because of the need of rule.
After splitting into small colonies, they can also tease the contradictions between them. It is not so easy for them to want independence.
From an economic point of view, at least for the next 30 to 40 years, we will all make money! “
The Bulgarian colony has been in a long-term deficit, and even at its best, it can only achieve small profits.
Although the colonial ministry also had a ministerial title, it was only in the Ferdinand period to show the outside world that Bulgaria attaches importance to the colony. In fact, the colonial ministry has always been Bulgaria’s lowest voice.
Among the high-level government officials who have been obsessed with India, the colonial ministry is the most popular.
As long as the Indian region is won, the colonial ministry can immediately achieve a counterattack and become one of the most important departments in Bulgaria.
Within the government, their biggest supporters are the Ministry of Finance and the military, and everyone is a vested interest.
However, this is not in line with Ferdinand’s original national policy. In the long run, it is not in the interests of the royal family to occupy such a place that cannot be ruled forever.
When the future colony is lost, the emperor of that generation will become a bad luck, and the prestige of the royal family is inevitable.
Later British royal families became rubber stamps, which had a direct relationship with the decline of royal prestige caused by the collapse of the British colonial system.
In order to prevent problems beforehand, during the Ferdinand period, he tried to avoid all this. Bulgaria’s strategy has always been sparsely populated.
It is good to be able to eat in this kind of place. Even if you ca n’t eat it and lose it, no one will pay attention to it, and its influence will be limited.
But places like India are different. The greater the benefits now, the greater the impact they will have in the future if they are lost.
Naturally, Ferdinand Little could not just look at the immediate interests and ignore the troubles caused to future generations. Naturally, someone must come out to prevent this from happening.
“Mr. Donald, Bulgaria’s finances are good, and our economic benefits to India are not urgent,” said Tolski.
The rise of Bulgaria depends on industry and preemption of resource origin in advance is in our long-term interest.
Don’t forget, this world will never lack chasers, occupying these places in advance, we can stand on invincible!
This is also the long-term national policy formulated by Emperor Ferdinand. Facts have proven that this is the strategy that is in the best interest of Bulgaria! “
It is very difficult for any country to change its national policy, especially for a conservative country like Bulgaria. It is even more difficult to change the national policy that Ferdinand originally formulated.
From a financial perspective, if the government’s fiscal revenue is 30 billion levs and the fiscal expenditure is as high as 33 billion levs, then it is very important to increase these 3 billion levs.
If the government’s fiscal revenue is 30 billion levs and the fiscal expenditure is only 29 billion levs, then these 3 billion levs will become dispensable.
Obviously, Bulgaria’s finances are healthy now, there is no deficit, and the government is not urgent to obtain benefits from the colonies.
“Well, the French have always had a good appetite, so let them go to India for a thunderstorm. Half of India can probably feed them, talk about the next one!” Ferdinand Little said with a smile.
Dividing the loot is inevitable. The boss who does not share the loot with the younger brother is not a long-term one. He is still fighting. The younger brothers are required to exert their energy and promise no benefits. How can people let their families die?
“His Majesty, the Spaniards have a small appetite. They demand the acquisition of the Gibraltar Strait, and some British colonies. As long as they have a certain economic value, they are not picky places!” Coleman continued.
It’s not that the Spaniards are not fussy, and have no fussy capital. Due to their strength, it is very difficult for them to obtain the Strait of Gibraltar.
“Promise them, we don’t need to occupy the Strait of Gibraltar directly, and let the Spaniards take control of it. It is also a good choice!” Torski said.
On this issue, everyone has no objection. For Bulgaria, the most important thing is to master the canal leading to the Mediterranean. It is enough to control Egypt.
As long as the Strait of Gibraltar is not in the hands of a powerful country, it will not cause trouble to Bulgaria. Obviously Spain of this era meets this standard.
“Continue!” Ferdinand Little nodded.
“His Majesty, the next is the Austro-Hungarian Empire. They hope to expand their homeland on the European continent. Of course, this will not be strong.
It is more likely to be trying out the dangers of multi-ethnicity. The Austro-Hungarian Empire knows it well. Even if it obtains territory and population from Germany, it may be possible to break the balance that has been easily established in the country.
This is not in their interest. Their real purpose should be to increase their worth in order to seek compensation for war compensation or colonies! Coleman analyzes
“Then let the Austro-Hungarian Empire go with the French, and divide them among the British Indian colonies.
Otherwise, West Russia will also share a share, even if other small countries have ambitions, we can also pass them on. Chief of Staff Christoph said indifferently
Anyway, I have decided to give up the British Indian colony, so I will give it to the younger brother. Ca n’t we say that Bulgaria is not generous?
Taking out the most elite colonies of the British people to divide the loot is enough to satisfy most of the allies. As to whether they can hold it, this is their problem.
Prime Minister Tolsky thought for a while and said, “General Christoph’s proposal is very feasible. According to our established plan, after the war, the three North American Congresses independently established the country. Then, apart from the mainland, the most affluent region of the British Empire is India, followed by South Africa.
We are the main force in this war. We divided India into them. We annexed the African colonies of the British, and everyone just got what they needed.
For the remaining Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Southeast Asia, we can merge some of them within our capabilities. If any of the allies think they are capable, they can also share them! “
Strength determines the distribution of benefits, which is the best way to solve the problem. Except for these few major powers, the distribution of the interests of the remaining allies does not need to be discussed in the cabinet.
This is the nature of the world. They have been given equal status in the name. In fact, their right to speak has not increased, and they want to gain greater benefits, unless they prove their strength on the battlefield.
Those who are only responsible for waving flags, in addition to eliminating the British debt after the war, can only follow a little bit of symbolic compensation.
For example, the Grand Duchy of Finland is responsible for waving flags, and for example, the exile governments of the Netherlands and Belgium, they can only roar into two throats.
“If you don’t have any other objections, it’s so decided!” Ferdinand Little said with a smile
How could there be no objection?
However, Bulgaria is not a country that is mixed with dissent. Opposition is fine. As long as a better solution is available, it will be implemented first.
Of course, this is just a blank check. If you want the conditions promised by Bulgaria, you have to pick up your weapons and win the enemy before you can count.
Ferdinand Jr. does not mind doing things that are generous to others. The British Empire occupies most of the world ’s colonies, and the benefits that can be distributed are too large. Www.mtlnovel.com ~ For Bulgaria, the economy The last harvest is South Africa, and the strategic harvest is the British naval bases all over the world. The port in the John Cow colony, we did not mention in advance, obviously this part will be eaten by Bulgaria.
Having won these regions, Bulgaria has taken the lead in the future globalization strategy. It may not make much sense to look at it now. In the future, this will be a long-term strategic vision!
On April 7, 1940, the Holy Alliance held its second expansion meeting, and countries reached a preliminary agreement on the division of interests.
Stimulated by interest, all countries have come up with capital. The Austro-Hungarian Empire mobilized more than 2.3 million troops. Western Russia also mobilized more than 1.8 million troops. Even the Spanish mobilized more than 150. Million troops.
In addition to the millions of troops gathered by a group of younger brothers, by the end of May 1940, the number of the Holy Alliance’s army had exceeded 12 million.
