Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 165, Prudential Transaction

The American incident made Britain and France realize the importance of alliance. Due to the factors of the world war, many overseas colonies of Britain and France have experienced instability.

evidence? Sorry, for Britain and France, the evidence is really not that important, as long as there is someone to suspect, anyway, there are only a few companies that have the strength and courage to do this kind of thing!

The Paris peace conference is still going on. After knowing the French's plan, the Germans are naturally not idle. Maybe their diplomatic response is a little slower, but they still know to do public relations.

At this moment, Hindenburg appeared in the Bulgarian embassy in Paris, still chatting and laughing happily with Constantine, but the worry on his brow couldn't go away.

The conversation between the two quickly got to the point, and Hindenburg said solemnly: "Dear Prime Minister Constantine, once the French achieve their goals, they will become the new masters of the European continent, which will definitely endanger world peace..."

Constantine interrupted: "Mr. Hindenburg, the rise of the French has little to do with Bulgaria. Even if the French really dominate the European continent, it will not affect the core interests of Bulgaria!

You should be clear that Bulgaria's strategy has already shifted to Asia since the retention of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. We have no intention of dominating the world, and there is no need to fight the French on the issue of the European continent!

Moreover, even if Germany is dismembered, the French still have a long way to go in their dream of European hegemony. I don't think they have the strength to swallow you in one bite, and the British will not agree!

Before the completion of the annexation of Germany, even if the national strength of the French became the European hegemon, it would not affect Bulgaria. There is still an Austro-Hungarian Empire between us as a buffer!

So Mr. Hindenburg, we are not interested in your plan. Whether it is the rise of the French to dominate the European continent, or the revival of Germany to dominate Europe, it does not matter to us!

When you rise again, I believe Bulgaria has also developed to a new height. As an emerging country, you should know that in terms of expansion, we are much faster than the old empires! "

Hindenburg's face darkened. They were not afraid of Bulgaria's ambitions for the continent of Europe. As long as Bulgaria wanted to expand to Europe, the relationship between Britain, France and Bulgaria would inevitably break down, and their chance would come.

It will be different after Bulgaria turns to the Asian continent as it is now. Bulgaria, which has already had enough to eat and drink in this war, has a great possibility that it will go silent. Life is not easy!

After hesitating again and again, Hindenburg said: "Mr. Constantine, even if you have no idea about the European continent, it is still good for your country to check and balance the French!"

Seeing Konstantin rolling his eyes, the meaning is very obvious, if you have the conditions, go ahead, if you just want Bulgaria's support with empty teeth, then don't dream!

After a pause, Hindenburg said with a wry smile: "Mr. Constantine, as long as your country can guarantee the integrity of Germany, we can transfer all the colonies to your country!"

Constantine sneered and said: "Mr. Hindenburg, do you think that the German colonies are still yours now? I'm sorry that the Allied Powers have decided to confiscate them, so now this has nothing to do with you! By the way, even your navy Also confiscated, we have a deal to go to the British!

So you should show your cards. With the strength of the German Empire across Europe, the family left behind is still very solid. You should also know what we are interested in! "

That's right, what Bulgaria can care about in the German Empire is not land, machinery, or money, and the talents accumulated by the Germans from the Prussian era to the present!

Since the Bulgarian army occupied southern Germany, the first thing they did was not to confiscate the property of the nobles and capitalists.

Instead, they are searching for talents everywhere!

In order to recruit more talents to serve Bulgaria, the Bulgarian army not only did not extort excessively in the occupied area, but also generously distributed relief food, just to buy people's hearts!

Even after the Bavarian royal family and Bulgaria reached a compromise, the Bulgarian army has now withdrawn from Munich. The price is that they cooperate with Bulgaria in the mobilization of scientific researchers and engineers.

To put it simply, everyone cooperates with each other, coaxing and deceiving these elite talents. For example, as long as they are willing to serve Bulgaria for 20 years, not only can they get a rich return, but they can also protect their homes from being destroyed, and even let them They think that the relief food that the common people get now is all after they promised to work for Bulgaria, and they use their patriotic integrity to fool them into willingly giving their lives to Bulgaria!

And this is precisely the foundation of the Germans. Once a large number of talents are lost, it will be even more difficult for the future German Empire to rise again!

The Bavarian royal family can compromise, it is to keep the throne!

The supplies they obtained from Bulgaria alleviated the domestic crisis, and a large amount of supplies were released to civilians for free, which calmed everyone's resentment towards the royal family. Coupled with the death of the prince, they won enough sympathy points for them, and Bulgaria has promised that they will not be held accountable for war crimes in this war!

Now it's Hindenburg's turn to make a decision. Even though he has resigned, it is still the Junker nobles who hold the power of this country!

After hesitating again and again, Hindenburg nodded with a wry smile and said, "Okay, as long as Bulgaria is willing to keep the integrity of Germany in the Paris Peace Conference, we are willing to cooperate with you in introducing talents and do a good job in their ideological work!"

Constantine shook his head and said: "You came a bit late, now the General Assembly has agreed that the French will take back Alsace and Lorraine, and the eastern border of France can also be pushed to the Rhine.

So what we can do now is to ensure the integrity of Germany as much as possible. I personally suggest that you prepare for the independence of Poland. Even the worst result is that Bavaria-based South Germany also has the possibility of independence! "

Hindenburg's face darkened, and he said excitedly: "Mr. Constantine, no matter what, we can't make southern Germany independent. You should know that the religious beliefs of northern and southern Germany are different. Once there is a division, it will be difficult to reunify!

As long as you ensure that South Germany will not be divided, we can provide all the metallurgical, chemical, and various scientific research personnel you want! "

Constantine replied without hesitation: "Happy cooperation!"

The goal has been achieved, but there is no excitement on Hindenburg's face. This is exchanging the future of Germany for the unity of the country.

Of course, he didn't know that it was the Americans who did this business with them in history, and the Americans even offered a higher price, and even provided them with a large loan from him, so that their economy could recover quickly after the war!

...

Interests are always the best reminder. After reaching a secret deal with the Germans, Constantine immediately changed his position and turned to support the British on the issue of the Germans.

A new day of the meeting began, and after the French President proposed to dismember Germany again, Lloyd George retorted again: "A divided Germany is not in the interest of all of us, at least they will not be able to pay our war reparations!"

Constantine, who has always been close to each other, also echoed: "Mr. George is right. We still need the Germans to pay huge war reparations to make up for our war losses. Then we must ensure the repayment ability of the Germans. I personally suggest to keep The integrity of German territory!"

Bulgaria's sudden statement broke the balance of the meeting. Poincaré, who was isolated and helpless, had a gloomy and terrible face at this time. He knew that the strategy of dismembering Germany was about to die.

Still unwilling to say: "As the chief culprit of this war, if we don't punish, what if someone follows suit in the future?

Both the Japanese and the Americans may become the second Germans. We must punish the Germans severely to deter them!

And in order to ensure the national defense security of France, we decided that we cannot tolerate the existence of a strong Germany. This is the core interest of our France, and we must not make concessions! "

Constantine smiled slightly and said: "If your country is worried about the threat of the Germans, this is also very simple. Now the central government of Germany is a republic, and we can support a few local kings to come out. As long as the awareness of the local government and the central government If the shape is different, it will be impossible for Germany to be fully integrated, and it will no longer have the ability to threaten your country!"

Still have this kind of operation? Poincaré did not keep up with Constantine's rhythm for a while. For the French, once this plan is well implemented, there is a great possibility that the German Empire will split again in the future!

Poincaré thought for a while and said: "Okay! In addition to retaining the royal family that currently exists in Germany, we can establish another kingdom in the east of the Rhine River. In addition, East Prussia and German Poland can also establish kingdoms!"

Lloyd George's complexion changed drastically. This style of painting is very wrong. Bulgaria, who just opposed the dismemberment of Germany, actually proposed a proposal to actually split Germany. Where are they going to stand?

There is no doubt that this constructive proposal was made by Ferdinand himself. He has not forgotten that he still owes two crowns. The African chiefs are unwilling to do it, but the German internal kings did not refuse. Makes sense, everyone is related in blood!

As for whether Germany will be divided in this life, Ferdinand wants to say that if there is no war reparations, the German economy will develop normally. Due to the imbalance of economic development between regions, this country is very likely to collapse in the future!

But now everyone is living a hard life together, we need to help each other in the same boat, and we have a common cultural foundation. Except for Poland, it is difficult for them to split up in other regions!

Of course, infighting is inevitable. Ferdinand is also a bit worried about the rise of a united Desan! If it is a German Empire with constant infighting and weakened strength, he will not hesitate, let the Austro-Hungarian Empire go first, and if it doesn't work, he will end it himself, there is nothing to be afraid of!

Lloyd George hesitated for a while, and finally chose to acquiesce. After all, the French were too willing to dismember the Germans. Although Bulgaria's proposal broke up Germany's cohesion, a unified Germany could still prevent the French from continuing to attack Europe. Way to expand!

Lloyd George asked: "Well, our British Empire also agrees, but what about the kings of these three countries, and our family appoints one?"

Constantine said straightforwardly: "Then it's decided. Please choose the two first. Which country's throne do you want?"

Puengale's complexion suddenly became ugly. Both of them are monarchies. It is easy to choose a king. The big deal is to support their own royal children, and both of them are from the Gotha Dynasty, which happens to be Germany. The ancient nobles, a bad Gotha family will add two more crowns!

This is different for the French Republic, they have more troubles, and the three major royalist parties in the country are about to start fighting again!

Poincaré said with a wry smile: "Then I will choose first. Our French Republic chooses the Kingdom of Poland!"

There is no way around this. With the relationship between France and Germany, even if they want to support the king of the Rhine Kingdom, the Germans will not recognize it! Except for the Poles who want independence, it is estimated that no German is willing to accept their designated king!

Lloyd George said with a smile: "Then we want the throne of the Kingdom of the Rhine!"

After thinking about it, Lloyd George decided to bury another nail in France to check and balance them when necessary. An extremely anti-French Rhine Kingdom will help limit the expansion of the French!

Constantine said calmly: "Then everyone has agreed, Bulgaria will be responsible for appointing the king of East Prussia!"

Just before that, the Romanian royal family came from the German royal family, and they were with the Germans in this world war. Let them serve as the king of Prussia. The Germans are also acceptable. This operation is not difficult!
