Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Vol 5 Chapter 117: Forced choice

Blessings are not alone!

When Ferdinand had just helped the Dutch, the next Russian happened again.

Since the Caucasus was sold, the government of Nicholas II had enough money in hand, and the unification war was launched in high spirits, and the situation was very good.

All the way God should kill God, Buddha blocked killing Buddha!

The army of Nicholas II captured Yekaterinburg, and the little Tsar Nicholas had already rushed to the north, and had to chase the north to rule the whole country.

At this critical moment, the army of Nicholas II entered the Siberian plains and was flooded by the Seventh Army on the Ob River.

It was not clear after Ferdinand. In the end, Comrade Stalin was even better, damaging the upper dam of the Ob River and reimbursing the main force of Nicholas II's eastward advance.

Of course, as a price, millions of Russian people, together with more than 100,000 East Russian troops, have also become funerary objects, and Wanli Ze State was born.

The loss has not yet been counted. The unification war initiated by the government of Nicholas II is now completely ruined.

The blow to the Nicholas II government was very deadly, and they were unable to wage war again for at least a decade.

From the information transmitted from Russia, Ferdinand knew that it was the turn of the rebels to counterattack, and once the flood waters retreated, they attacked and defended.

At present, the troops in the hands of Nicholas II are some of the second and third tier troops. The main forces are running low, and there are still very serious morale problems.

Ferdinand was very skeptical that if he did not intervene, a new Soviet Union would once again emerge above Bulgaria.

The tsarist government of the young Nicholas has been maimed, and the government of Nicholas II has suffered heavy losses. No one had thought of the final winner. Comrade Stalin was lurking in Siberia.

"Let's talk about the current situation in Russia. What should we do?" Ferdinand asked very depressed.

"Your Majesty, you must intervene in the civil war. Now that the Tsarist government is unable to unify the country, we must not tolerate the birth of a Russian government hostile to Bulgaria!" Constantine said firmly.

"I also know that we must intervene, but how do we intervene?" Ferdinand Zou asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, a conference of the League of Nations is called upon to call on all parties in Russia to cease the war and use the actual dividing line as a border to dismember the Russian Empire!" Constantine thought for a moment

"I also know that this is the plan that is currently in our best interest. But the government of Nicholas II may not want us to intervene directly. They also dream of uniting the whole country?

Once the Siberian government launches a counter-offensive, they will definitely be defeated. At that time, it will be impossible to stop the war under such conditions!

Now Nicholas II, can we listen to our advice? "Ferdinand said with a headache

"Your Majesty, no matter what the Russians think, we must do this. We must first inform Nicholas II of the current situation and suggest that he ask the League of Nations for help!

As for the plan to split the Russian empire, we can leave it alone for now, and someone will come up with the truce negotiations at that time! "Metev suggested

"Okay, let's do that! Pass on our meaning to the Russians. As for what choice Nicholas II made, I'm afraid he can't help him!" Ferdinand said with a grin.

This time it really wasn't that he was going to stab the Russians. It was completely wasteful by the government of Nicholas II. Such obvious advantages can be lost. Who can blame?

Is it too harsh to complain to the enemy?

As long as the two armies can win, who cares about the means? This is not the age of medieval knights, and the victors do not need to be blamed!

If the government of Nicholas II fails, it will be recorded in future history that the tsarist reactionary government blew up the dam in order to suppress the revolution, flooded the hundreds of thousands of revolutionary troops, and caused the displacement of millions of innocent people!

Finally, a few words: how the tsarist government was anti-human and anti-social. All these reactionary activities disappeared under the heroic and fearless resistance of the revolutionaries!

In the end, it was concluded that unpopular tyranny will eventually be overthrown!

Well, these are all supplemented by Ferdinand. He sent these contents to Nicholas II intact.

Even Ferdinand could guess how furious and then helpless Nicholas II was after receiving this telegram.

The long-term war has broken the population of the Russian Empire. If anyone does another national census, he will be surprised to find that the Russian population is less than 100 million?

It is estimated that none of the Tsarist government has found this problem, and the population of the Russian Empire has continued to decline since the outbreak of the World War.

Especially after the outbreak of the civil war, Russia's birth rate has fallen to a trough. The biggest reason is that a large number of young laborers entered the army, and a large number of Russian-aged women could not find their husbands.

And this population decline is continuous, from 1915 to the present, the Russian Empire has actually lost a generation.

This is a vicious circle. According to the most optimistic estimate of the Bulgarian Population Agency, if the Russian empire stops war immediately, the domestic economy will return to normal levels.

The population of the Russian Empire will decline by 10% in the next ten years, and the population of the Russian Empire will decline by a quarter in the next two decades.

This is caused by the current demographic structure of the Russian Empire. Over a decade-long war, the Russian Empire lost at least 15 million young men. Now the proportion of men and women in the age group of 20 to 40 years has been It became 1: 2.3.

Similarly, affected by the war, the fertility rate has continued to decline in the past ten years. The number of children aged 0 to 12 is less than nine percent of the population and less than half of the normal proportion.

This means that the Russian Empire has entered an aging society. Although their life expectancy is not long now, it is an indisputable fact that people in their 50s and 60s are becoming the main force in this country.

In this context, the feminist movement in the Russian Empire has also fallen into a trough. Although international feminist organizations believe that they should be at the forefront of the world, the result is exactly the opposite.

In the face of life and rights, many people have to compromise with reality.

...

St. Petersburg

After receiving the telegram from Ferdinand, Nicholas II did not appear furious. A series of bad news had consumed his anger.

The sudden bad news had blown his spirit away. Ferdinand suggested that he ask the League of Nations for help. In fact, Nicholas II was very motivated.

What he needs most now is time, even if no agreement can be reached at the League of Nations, he can also use the time of the truce negotiations to regroup.

What worries him most, however, is that the League of Nations will use the treaty's explicit provisions to split the Russian Empire.

This political influence was deadly enough to shake his foundations of domination.

The Russian empire's international reputation is not very good. Even if European countries are allowed to vote with their feet, they all support the division of the Russian empire.

There is not much time left for Nicholas II. Before the enemy has a meal, he must pull everyone to the negotiating table.

Bulgaria's attitude is very clear. Only when the League of Nations intervenes, they will intervene in this Russian civil war. Otherwise, even if they are allies, they will not interfere in the internal war of the League?

What would happen without Bulgaria's support? You don't need to answer this question, you know that the result will be bad for the Tsarist government.

Since the frontline defeat came, the Finnish region has become unstable, and Russian revolutionary forces have appeared again.

If the front line is defeated again, these basic disks will be difficult to maintain. Even supporters of Nicholas II could not tolerate failure.

Although Ferdinand's words are very unheard of, Nicholas II still agrees, especially the most important sentence-the Russian people's endurance to the government has reached the limit, if the war continues, they will Riot.

"Prime Minister, if we ask the League of Nations for help, how many countries will be on our side?" Nicholas II asked with great concern.

"Your Majesty, we are the only legal government recognized by the international community. In theory, everyone will be on our side, but European countries do not want to see a strong Russian empire appear, so they will likely support the rebels!

In order to gain more support from the international community, we must do more diplomatic efforts, which all take time! The Prime Minister thought about it and said

"Do you mean that there is no country on our side right now?" Nicholas II asked very depressed.

"Your Majesty, these are issues left over from history. If we make some diplomatic efforts, we can still pull most countries over, provided there is no major country intervention!" The Prime Minister explained

"Forget it, unless we can persuade Britain and France to support us, even if we pull them all in Europe, there is no use!" Nicholas II thought for a while

International support says that it is important and important, and that it is not important or important. In the end, it depends on everyone's force.

Ferdinand's meaning is very clear. Now that the tsarist government is in a disadvantaged position, he suggests that the tsarist should seek help from the League of Nations and end the war through negotiation.

After all, the so-called international treaties are the same. If the Tsarist government becomes stronger in the future, it can also tear up the treaties and restart the united war.

It's just that this is more difficult, and it has been criticized by the international community. In Nicholas II's lifetime, don't expect to see it anymore.

"Your Majesty, the truce negotiations are now in our favour.

Although the rebels occupied three-quarters of the Russian Empire, most of them were frozen ground, and the territories we now control are the essence of the Russian Empire.

Economically, the areas we control have always accounted for more than 65% of the Russian Empire ’s economic share.

In industry, the area under our control accounts for more than 80% of the total industrial output of the Russian Empire.

In terms of population, we control the population of the region, which accounts for 68.2% of the total population of the Russian Empire.

Although these data are all before the war, due to the factors of the war, these proportions may change, but we still have an advantage in comprehensive strength.

What we need most now is time. Once the war is over, the economy can return to normalization. Our recovery speed is definitely not comparable to the rebels! The Prime Minister advised

Nicholas II glanced at the crowd, and by the expressions of the crowd he knew that everyone wanted to end the war first.

As vested interests, these people are already full. Now the most important thing is to settle down. If you continue to fight, you will force the people under control to fight back, and they will be finished.

These attitudes of the interest class, Nicholas II had to consider, without these people's support, even if he wants to continue the war, he can not do it.

"Well, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has submitted an application to the League of Nations, inviting countries around the world to join forces to curb the spread of Bolshevism!" Nicholas II said helplessly

Except for this ideologically different reason, Nicholas II could never think of a reason to win the support of various countries.

The Paulo-Russian alliance, once considered the greatest diplomatic achievement of the Russian Empire in the last century, has now become a stumbling block for the Russian Empire.

As long as this alliance does not dissolve in one day, Britain and France will not be able to relax their vigilance against the Russian Empire and give up their suppression.

If it were not for the sudden outbreak of the civil war in the Russian Empire, it would not be the Paulo-Russian alliance, but a Slavic empire that would tremble the world.

This was also the deepest pain in the heart of Nicholas II. He was only one step away from the largest empire in the world.

Therefore, he hated the bones of the rebels. Even if these rebellions broke out a year and a half later, the Slavic Federal Empire had been established.

As long as the federal empire is established, any rebellion is a cloud and can be easily destroyed.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as the outbreak of the Russian rebellion and the leak of secret treaties, all of which disappeared.

Out of fear of the Slavic empire, Britain and France invariably chose to suppress the Russian empire, causing an imbalance in the power of Russia and Bulgaria.

At this time, even if the Slavic Empire was established, Bulgaria was the main body. Can Nicholas II agree?

Obviously this is impossible!

Even if he doesn't care about personal gains or losses, the Russian people can't agree to it. They are used to being the boss and suddenly let them be younger brothers.

The idea of ​​"dissolving the Bulgarian-Russian alliance" appeared more than once in Nicholas II's mind, but in the end he did not propose it.

The political influence of doing so is too great. From top to bottom, all levels of the Russian Empire did not want to dissolve the alliance, which is contrary to their interests.

I ca n’t tell the public, in order to avoid the suppression of Britain and France, dissolve the Bulgarian-Russian alliance?

If it is for this reason, it is estimated that the Russian people will change to a czar with a normal mind.

Britain and France have suppressed the Russian Empire for hundreds of years. In the Crimean War 80 or 90 years ago, they were also beaten by Britain and France, and Bulgaria has not yet been born.

Now you tell them that as long as the Bulgarian-Russian alliance no longer exists, or even the two countries become enemies, Britain and France will no longer suppress the Russian Empire. Who will believe it?

It is estimated that if you say this, you can be regarded as neuropathy!

The suppression of Britain and France is at best to use some small means and not the life of the Russian Empire ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ But if Russia turns its face, it can immediately make the Tsarist government complete. This is the fact that lies ahead!

Whether you admit it or not, without Bulgaria giving them their lives, the tsarist government has long since collapsed, and the economies of the two countries have long been tied together!

As everyone knows, the tsarist government's economic pillar is the export of mineral resources, and Bulgaria is the only importer of these resources.

It's not that they don't want to sell to others, they really can't find buyers.

It turned out that they could still be sold to Italy and Germany. Since these two countries started to do OEM for Britain and France, they have no interest in these mineral resources.

After Bulgaria purchased these mineral resources, the industrial products produced were exported to the Russians, which is equivalent to a cycle.

Coupled with the trade balance doctrine pursued by Ferdinand, even if the trade structures between Bulgaria and Russia are not equal, there has not been a large trade deficit.

This is very satisfying for the Russians. This kind of balanced trade is a long-term solution, so even if Bulgaria's industrial and commercial products are flooded with Russian stores, it has not caused a fierce Russian rebound!

Balanced trade, no outflow of wealth, no economic plunder, and naturally no disputes.

As a price, many minerals in Bulgaria have been sealed up, and the purchase of Russian minerals has been prioritized to barely maintain this balance.

Of course, if there was no case of land transactions, the arms trade would have broken this balance. After all, such a sudden large order, Ferdinand could not achieve the balance.
