In November 1911, Germany and France once again reached a compromise and signed the "German-French Agreement."

That is: the Germans recognized France's protection of Morocco, and the French ceded part of the Congolese territory to the Germans.

Oh, the Spanish also picked up a bargain. Due to the confrontation between Germany and France, Spain defaulted to occupy the northern part of Morocco. Later, France and Spain also signed a treaty to recognize their respective spheres of influence.

Of course, as a price to quell this dispute, the French people are down again! The cabinet of Joseph Cayo, who had been in power for less than half a year, was ousted by angry French people because of secret negotiations with the Germans.

His successor, however, was Raymond Pungale (Raymond Pungal), a Democratic Republican, without a doubt one of his leaders.

Raymond-Pune Calais went out to Lorraine on August 2o, 186o, and advocated more aggressive actions against the Germans. Simply put, he was pulling the Allies to avenge the Germans!

He believes that as long as France defeats Germany, Alsace and Lorraine can be recovered, and the Saar mining area can be occupied, and even the Ruhr area can be taken even further!

The arrival of Raymond-Punegale marked the dominance of the French main faction, and the World War was unavoidable.

Oh, at this time the French have occupied 635.9% of Africa ’s territory, and the colony area in Africa has passed Britain and Germany, ranking first.

Now France is already the second largest colonial empire in the world, with a total colony area of ​​about 16 million square kilometers, which is 2 times the area of ​​France, only behind the British Empire.

At the same time, with the arrival of Raymond-Puengale, nationalism in France has risen further, and neo-monarchism with Moras as a fierce instigator of revenge against Germany and will promote peaceful diplomacy Waiting for everyone to become a French traitor!

Against this background, Bulgaria's proposal to reopen the conference of the Allies, coordinate internal conflicts, and strive for countries to maintain a consistent diplomatic position, naturally supported by the French!

Oh, the meeting of the treaty states has not yet started, but negotiations between Bulgaria and Russia have begun. In order to resolve the hidden dangers between the two countries and to create favorable conditions for Bulgaria's subsequent expansion, Ferdinand proposed to the Tsar government that the two countries have high-level meetings and deep-level exchanges in strategic areas.

In May 1912, Queen Ferdinand Chenia went on her way to visit St. Petersburg again.

Oh, since Nicholas II ’s only son, Alexei, has suffered from hemophilia, he has never been more interested in traveling. Seeking medical advice has become part of Nicholas II ’s daily life. Already.

In this regard, Nicola II was already envious and jealous of Ferdinand's visit. His only son was still a sick bitch, and Ferdinand's six sons were all alive.

Of course, just think about these in your heart. If you say that Nicholas II does not need to be mixed in the aristocratic circle, the relationship between the two royal families will be over.

No, according to the current succession of the Tsar's Russian throne, several minor points seem to be still in the top ten. However, the aristocratic circle in Europe has always been chaotic. This kind of miscellaneous inheritance is a mess, and the ranking of inheritance is constantly changing.

In addition to the role of the young Crown Prince Alexei, the inheritance rights of several daughters including Nicholas II may change at any time. To put it simply, Nicholas II gave birth to a son, and they continued to retreat.

Oh no! At present, they have not obtained the canon. In theory, the princess has no inheritance right. Only after obtaining the canon as the granddaughter can they have the right of succession in order!

Once they met, the two sides naturally talked about each other. After attending the welcoming banquet, Ferdinand was also invited to go to the royal garden for hunting.

Well, hunting is fake, secret talk is true! After all, staring at them now is quite a lot. Once the news is leaked, it will likely cause unnecessary trouble.

...

"Ferdinand, what is the purpose of your visit here?" Nicholas II asked

Obviously, he didn't believe that it was just a strategic exchange. He needed Prince Ferdinand to lie down. Really thought that the king was very busy?

Ferdinand smiled and said, "The smell of gunpowder on the Euro 6 is so strong that the two major alliances may fight at any time. Bulgaria cannot hide, so naturally it is necessary to prepare in advance!

The purpose of my visit this time is so obvious that you would not guess? "

Nicholas II laughed and said, "But don't you think the war hasn't started yet, it's too early to talk about dividing the spoils?"

"Early talk is better than late talk! You can make as many contributions as you can with the benefits, so you don't have to do anything at the end, hurt everyone's peace and affect the unity of the alliance!" Ferdinand said lightly

Well, Nicholas II also knew that Ferdinand was talking about ghost words. It was nothing more than worrying that after the war, Bulgaria's interests could not be guaranteed, and he wanted to use the treaty in advance to make it clear.

However, this is also in the interest of the Russian Empire. If both Russia and Bulgaria demand that the world be divided up in advance, the interests of each country and the obligations that each country should fulfill are also beneficial to the Russian Empire.

Nicholas II was very self-willed against the strength of the Russian Empire. If the Allies and the Allies broke out in the war, the 6th Army of Russia was definitely the main force, and the biggest cake was definitely the Russians.

In fact, he was also very worried that after the war, the three congresses joined forces to crowd out the Russian Empire. There are precedents for this kind of thing, and it is not once or twice for European countries to jointly exclude Russia.

Nicholas II thought for a while and said, "Yes, dividing responsibilities and obligations in advance and dividing the benefits according to their respective contributions is indeed conducive to the unity of the alliance!"

Negotiations have never been a simple matter. If you let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs talk, without months of mutual temptations, don't try to talk about the results.

Obviously, Ferdinand did not plan to test slowly, and said directly: "Now the world is very clear. Once the war breaks out, the Allies will almost win the game, and the distribution of benefits after the war will also be carried out in our four countries.

For the traditional friendship between the two of us, I think it is necessary for the two sides to divide the scope of strength and try to avoid the core interests of the other party. Even if they cannot avoid it, they should coordinate as much as possible, so as not to let Britain and France pick up the cheap! "

The meaning of Ferdinand is very obvious. Either Russia and Bulgaria continue to unite, and everyone is still an ally to divide up Eastern Europe; or if they part ways, Bulgaria can only follow Britain and France as brothers!

Obviously, the second case is not in the interests of both countries. Judging from the current situation, as long as Russia and Bulgaria continue to work together, the division of Eastern Europe will become a foregone conclusion. Even if Britain and France have opinions, they are in a hurry!

If it ’s tit-for-tat, we might as well have a bamboo basket to fetch!

"What do you want?" Nicholas II asked

Even with cooperation, the Russians still take the initiative, which is determined by the strength of both sides.

Ferdinand calmly said: "I need you to support Bulgaria's unification of the Balkan Peninsula, colonize the Asia Minor Peninsula, and divide up some of the Confederate colonies!

In return, Bulgaria will also support all your interests in this war! "

Well, Ferdinand's conditions were not unexpected, and anyone with a clear eye could see Bulgaria's strategy. Since the end of the Second Balkan War, Ferdinand's strategy has been exposed.

I saw Nicholas II shook his head and said, "No, the Black Sea Strait is too important for the Russian Empire. We can't give up!"

Ferdinand smiled and said, "This is important now. After your country turns the Baltic Sea into an inland lake, the strategic value of the Black Sea Strait will be reduced. By then it will be just a golden waterway!

We can continue to maintain the status quo, all ships in your country can freely navigate, Bulgaria will not charge tariffs, and your country's interests can still be guaranteed! "

"What? Turned the Baltic Sea into the Inner Lake?" Nicholas II exaggerated, exclaiming.

The Russians did not think of this strategy, and even implemented it, but the Baltic enemies were too powerful.

But changes are about to happen. Once the Germans are defeated, will the remaining Denmark and Sweden still have the power to prevent the Russians from breaking out of the Baltic Sea?

Strategically, the Baltic Sea seems to be more valuable than the Black Sea, and going out of the Baltic Sea is the Atlantic Ocean.

In contrast, after entering the Mediterranean Sea out of the Black Sea Strait, it is still a prisoner, but the scope is larger. The Russians want to implement a maritime strategy, either to seize control of the Suez Canal from Egypt and the British; or to rob ...

Forget this is even more unrealistic. This is to beat the rhythm of the major European powers. So as early as the end of the 19th century, the Russians abandoned their strategy of breaking out from the Mediterranean in an attempt to achieve a strategic breakthrough in the Far East.

Ferdinand asked, "Is there a problem? If the Germans are defeated, don't tell me that Denmark and Sweden have the courage to stop your country?"

"No!" Nicholas II said confidently.

Now he has calmed down. The previous Russian strategy was based on the existence of Germany. Once the Germans were defeated, the French would definitely weaken or even divide the Germans. As long as the two countries showed support, the British would be powerless.

At that time, the imaginary enemy of the Russians in the Baltic Sea is only Denmark and Sweden. Even if the British and French would support them, they would not have the courage to jump out?

They are not Japan in the Far East. They have Siberian natural danger, which hinders the input of the Russians. If they jump out, they can't stand the gray animals in a steady stream!

Too far from God, too close to the bear! This is destined for the positions of the two countries. Moreover, the relationship between the Russians and Denmark is still very friendly, and the possibility of confrontation between the two countries is almost impossible!

Ferdinand has always believed that there is nothing that cannot be traded between countries. If there is that-it must be not enough. When the common interests of both parties are large enough, the alliance is logical.

Therefore, the second "Russia-Russia Pact" was signed. The appetite of the Russians was much greater than Ferdinand imagined. In addition to their daring interest in Eastern Europe, they were also interested in the Ottomans of Central Asia.

In order to realize their world strategy, Nicholas II once again proposed the establishment of a military alliance to counteract the possible British-French alliance after the war.

Oh ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ This is the "Slavic Empire" proposed by Ferdinand in order to flicker the Russians. It seems that Nicholas II still remembers this!

It is only now that the two sides jointly established an empire, just like the Holy Roman Empire in the Middle Ages, which was nominally a country. In fact, the major princes had sufficient autonomy.

Well, anyway, all checks are empty, and Ferdinand certainly agreed. Even the time for the establishment of the two sides was agreed, and a joint empire was established within one year after the end of the European War.

There is no doubt that Nicholas II will be the emperor of the new empire-Augustus, and Ferdinand also won the title of Caesar!

Well, just call him his son and he's too lazy to talk. Anyway, these two titles are full of Roman meaning, it seems that they have not given up on rebuilding the Russian Empire.
