"Her Majesty, the British election is over early, and Conservative Leader Stanley Baldwin has become the new British Prime Minister!"

Ferdinand smiled slightly. The emergence of a moderate Prime Minister in Britain is undoubtedly good news for the world.

Stanley Baldwin was regarded by Churchill as one of the three main responsible persons of appeasement policy and one of the main culprits of laissez-faire.

Well, before the outbreak of the World War, Stanley Baldwin's evaluation was very high. He led Britain out of economic difficulties and was a conservative and a peace activist.

It was not until Churchill took office that his achievements were completely wiped out, but the struggle between politicians is not black and white, and no evaluation is necessary.

For Ferdinand, this conservative Prime Minister is undoubtedly the best Prime Minister of the British Empire, which has earned Bulgaria another five years of precious time.

"Well, it seems that the world will be peaceful for a while in the short term. Stop our prepared hands first. Now we shouldn't trouble our friends at this time!" Ferdinand said with a smile

As long as they are pacifists, they are now Bulgarian friends. The election from Stanley proves that Bulgaria now has more friends than its enemies in the British Empire.

"Her Majesty, please be assured that we did not intend to plan an anti-colonial uprising at this time, and now our work is still spreading revolutionary ideas in the British colonies.

This matter is not just our family doing it. From the information we have gathered, both the Japanese and the French are doing it, even the Moscow government in Siberia is doing it again! "Sim calmly said

Ferdinand nodded, spreading revolutionary ideas is a vague method. Even if they were discovered by the British, they could not find evidence related to Bulgaria. This is essentially different from directly supporting the independence of the locals.

"Your Majesty, the Germans are now seeking to join the League of Nations, shall we stop them?" Metiev asked casually

"Leave them alone, let the French do it!" Ferdinand replied

This is just a trivial matter. For Bulgaria, the Germans have no direct interest in joining the League of Nations.

Whatever Germany thinks today, it does not have the ability to provoke world war. In contrast, the possibility of a civil war is even greater.

On the contrary, Italy is now very active in thinking, but Ferdinand does not think they can do it. This is determined by the comprehensive national strength.

Don't look at the fact that the total industrial volume of Italy seems to be increasing sharply now, think that their comprehensive national strength has increased, but in fact it is just the opposite.

Just look at Italy ’s heavy industry. The domestic arsenals are closed collectively, steel companies are bankrupt, and there is no sales market. Italian capitalists will not insist on patriotism.

In this respect, Italy now has no potential for explosives. With the invasion of British and French capital, Italy is now a large foundry, and the domestic economy is completely controlled by British and French hands.

They have no strength to challenge the world order, but to drive Britain and France out of Italy, there is still a chance of success, depending on whether they will choose time.

...

The British Empire was indeed the world hegemon of this era. When Stanley Baldwin entered Downing Street, the whole world paid attention to it.

Paris

French President Gaston Dumag is in a meeting to discuss the impact of the British government's reelection on the conflict between Britain and France.

Meetings usually hosted by the French Prime Minister are now chaired by the President. Do n’t be surprised. French people change the government just like women change clothes.

From the end of the World War to the present, they have replaced double-digit cabinets. The French cabinet is reorganized every year, and the highest record is seven times a year.

Even the French tried very anarchically a few times, and finally found that there was no government. It was too inconvenient to form the government.

There is no such wayward country in the world, and only a parliamentary disapproval case is needed to bring the cabinet down.

If someone has served as the Prime Minister several times in a year, it must be only in France, and only France can keep going up and down.

From the establishment of the Third Republic of France to the present, there is no cabinet that can serve until the end of his term. The shortest term of the cabinet is only 2 days. If calculated accurately, it may be less than 48 hours.

Historically, the willfulness of the French continued until 1940, and the Germans changed over after the fight. It was not until the constitution was amended in 1958 that this situation was completely changed.

This is also one of the reasons for the rapid decline of France in modern times. The change of government like a lantern has made it difficult to continue the policies formulated by the French government.

If it was not for the diplomatic power and military power to be in the hands of the president, and the ministers of various departments would also be directly responsible to the president, then France would have collapsed by their own play.

Although I did n’t play with this country, I still played with this country ’s economy. From 1870 to 1925, France ’s economic aggregate fell from the second place in the world to the fourth place in the world today. After Germany and Germany.

The total industrial volume has dropped from the second in the world to the fifth in the world. The first four are Britain, Bulgaria, Germany, and Austria. If there is no accident, it will soon be overtaken by Italy and become the sixth in the world. Bit.

This is also a French family's family base is thick enough, otherwise, if they are ordinary countries, after such a torment, they would have fallen apart.

St. Petersburg

"The British are finally reelected, **** Lloyd-George is gone, the opportunity that belongs to us is here!" Nicholas II laughed

The Russian Empire has become what it is now. The British Empire has to bear the main responsibility. Without their selfless assistance, the Russian Civil War would definitely not be played now.

Even earlier, if it were not for their black hands in the World War, the civil war in the Russian Empire would not necessarily erupt, and for the Lloyd-George government that dominated it all, Nicholas II could not wait to dismiss them.

Now that he has finally made a substitution, he can't help being upset. In any case, at the juncture of the government change, it will take several months to become familiar with the situation and change his mindset.

This is his chance. If nothing unexpected happens, the British will not increase their assistance to Little Nicholas in the short term, and he will have a chance to make a time difference and complete the reunification of the country.

"Prime Minister, immediately negotiate with Bulgarians. I hope to get a loan within a week. This is our best opportunity!" Nicholas II said

He did not expect British policy on Russia to change. As opponent Nicholas II knew the British, any country that might threaten them in the eyes of the British was their enemy.

And the Russian Empire has exactly this condition. If it was not for the outbreak of the civil war in the Russian Empire, where would the hegemons of the European continent now get the French?

In addition, the territory of the Russian Empire in Central Asia threatened India's security. Once the Russians completed national unification, expansion into India became almost inevitable.

The huge debt owed by the Russians has prompted them to expand abroad. Is there a better option besides India?

However, what do the Russians think? The British think so, and the plans they have made are also so, otherwise they are not fed and have nothing to do, why should they pay for the civil war in Russia?

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this won't work. A week is too short. Under normal circumstances, such a large loan cannot be negotiated without a few months!

If we rush too quickly, we will let the Bulgarians find our purpose and then rob it by fire, then our loss will be great! The Prime Minister explained with a bitter smile

"Damn Ferdinand, how could I never find out, why was he so annoying?" Nicholas II complained.

In the face of the tsar's complaints, everyone chose to shut up. This issue is not something they can join.

In terms of dealing with people alone, Ferdinand has been impeccable. After the outbreak of the Russian civil war, the Bulgarian royal family did not give the Russian royal family less aid.

But when it comes to national interests, nothing is said. On the surface, Ferdinand was avoiding suspicion. In fact, Nicholas II knew very well that Ferdinand did it for his own reputation.

All things put the Bulgarian cabinet at the top. No matter how looting it can be, it cannot be said that he has a moral problem.

This made Nicholas II very annoyed. He repeatedly connected with Ferdinand several times, trying to figure out exactly what Bulgaria wanted, but unfortunately he was beaten too by Ferdinand.

Bulgaria is in no hurry, but the Russian Empire cannot wait! If it is delayed, the price to pay in the future will only be greater.

Once the Russian empire really splits, this loss can never be recovered.

It must be known that until now, the territory they actually controlled was less than one-fifth of the Russian Empire. Although they are the essence of Europe, more than four-fifths of the remaining territory are equally important to the Russian Empire. !!

"Your Majesty, no matter how we can no longer take the land as a mortgage, if we continue to mortgage it, I am afraid we will have to fight another Bulgaria again when we have just unified the country!" Said the Minister of Finance in distress.

Nicholas II has a blue face. Everyone knows that if they continue to use land as collateral, they will definitely not be able to cash it in the future.

After all, the area of ​​land mortgaged by loans is that big! In any case, the Russian Empire cannot really give up millions of square kilometers of land!

The future will not be a loan, it has almost become inevitable, they know, Bulgarians also know! In this context, getting a loan from Bulgaria is not that simple.

Ferdinand was telling the Russians almost undisguisedly not to skimp, or the consequences would be serious.

Of course, Nicholas II did not want to accept such a threat, but he did not dare to turn his back on it. The current Russian empire has no confidence at all.

Of course, there is also good news, that is, Bulgaria has not colluded with the chaos, otherwise it will be really over.

It should be known that if Bulgaria chose to support Little Nicholas, it is estimated that Ukraine would not be mentioned. Even the Caucasus would be packaged and sold together, and everyone would not blink.

In fact, even Nicholas II did not take these lands as his lifeblood, but he didn't want to send it out in such a humiliating manner. He wanted to tell Ferdinand that you offered to ask where you want to go, and quoted it directly.

It is common to buy and sell territories in Europe. Before he sold the Crimean Peninsula, it was not the same in Russia. No one said anything?

"Of course, we can't continue to mortgage. This time without mortgage, we can directly carry out land transactions with Bulgarians, and sell it as long as the price is right!

But only this time, this time we have to make more preparations and unify the whole country in World War I. The civil war can never be continued! "Nicholas II said coldly

"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison.

They were all tied together with Nicholas II, and everyone was hurting and losing glory.

It can be said that the current Nicholas government is already the cleanest time in the century of the Russian Empire, and even the corruption of officials has converged a lot.

At this time, who dares to swallow his Nicholas II's money is asking for his life. Of course, for those who want his life, of course, he can't let it go!

...

Sofia

Ferdinand did not know that the Russians had decided to speed up the pace of reunification because of the change of the British Cabinet.

Of course, even if he knew it, he wouldn't react much! This is not his problem, but the Russians themselves.

As long as the history of the Russians is turned, they will be surprised to find that they and all their neighbors eventually became enemies, and so far there are no exceptions.

Once Russia is strong, they will start a war immediately, and their neighbors are the victims, so that so many countries in parallel in space and time surround Russia, not just by the intervention of the United States.

The most critical question is because of their own factors. All the neighbors have invaded. Can you blame others for standing on their opposite side?

There is credibility. The most popular sentence in Europe now is that the credibility of the Russian government is no credibility!

The reason is, of course, that the bonds issued by the Russians did not perform after the maturity. From the outbreak of the World War to the present, all the bonds due by the Russians have not been fulfilled.

This situation is not unique to Russia. Bulgaria also had bonds that had expired during the World War and could not perform.

But Ferdinand very wisely through diplomatic efforts, borrowed loans from Britain and France to fill this hole.

In the middle, due to the war, the redemption work may have been delayed, but all the normal redemptions were made.

Even the bonds sold in Germany, Austria and Italy were postponed by Ferdinand after the war. They did not lose their debts because of Germany and Austria ’s defeat.

In fact, Ferdinand's repayment is not much different from repayment.

It can only be said that reliance is also skillful. For example, using inflation, 100 million francs in 1914 was 100 million levs, and 100 million francs in 1925 was worth more than 5 million levs.

In fact, even the principal was not repaid enough ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ But is it not in accordance with the original promise, is it being repaid normally? The bonds sold to individuals do not require you to bear inflation, and you do n’t have a lot of money. Why not use it to brush your reputation?

If the Russians take it seriously, their credibility will not be so bad. Bulk debts cannot be repaid, but you can also repay individuals first!

It doesn't require much money, and the currency value has now fallen madly. If the Russians want to repay the debt issued in Germany, they may now only need a few hundred pounds.

But since Nicholas II did not respond, Ferdinand naturally would not kindly remind him.

The credibility thing, as long as you are trying to redeem it, it is useful. As long as people are convinced that you are working to pay off your debts, your inability to repay can be declared to extend the debt.

Consequences of losing credibility. Just look at Russia's historical failure to enter the international capital market. You will not believe you and will not take you to play with it.
