Bulgarian Empire

Ottawa, the capital of Canada

The Canadian Autonomous Government Parliament is in a fierce quarrel. The aftermath of the defeat of this war has come. The resolution of the Sofia Peace Conference is very unfavorable to them.

Although Canada has declared its independence from the Commonwealth of Great Britain, in this war, the Canadian Autonomous Government sent troops to South Africa and pilots to the British Isles.

These have become the reasons for the Holy Alliance to pursue their responsibility for the war. If you don't shed a layer of skin, don't want to get away.

"quiet!"

"quiet!"

Speaker Peter Cole's voice sounded, and the congressmen finally fell silent.

"Members, you all know the resolution of the Sofia Peace Conference, Bulgaria has made territorial claims to us.

After the delegation's struggle, the Bulgarians agreed to give up their territorial claims on the Labrador Peninsula and Newfoundland.

But they still miss the Queen Elizabeth Islands, Parry Islands, Baffin Island, Victoria Island, Southampton Island, Queen Charlotte Islands....

Last night, the Bulgarian government issued an ultimatum, either to cede the above-mentioned islands, or to pay 50 billion levs in war reparations, and they gave up their territorial claims! "

There is a third way, but Peter Cole did not say it, then continue the war.

Obviously, it is impossible to continue the fight. Canada sent people to Japan for field investigations, and the materials they brought back still feel horrifying when I recall them.

"What? 50 billion levs, why don't they grab it?" a member of parliament roared immediately

Canada's current population is only a little over 10 million, which means that the per capita has to bear a huge debt of nearly 5,000 levs, which is the gross national product of the Dominion of Canada for two years.

The combined current fiscal revenue of the Canadian government is not enough to pay the interest of the 50 billion lev reparation. Even if they are willing to give money, they cannot afford it.

Don't think that this is the end, the problem is that the 50 billion yuan is not all the war reparations. The Commonwealth of Great Britain was defeated this time, and all the dominions have to share the debt with the mainland, even if they have become independent.

Although the specific amount is still under discussion, rumors have spread that the Dominion of Canada will work hard to repay the debt in the next few decades.

"Snatch, is that so easy? Even if all our cities are looted, it is impossible to snatch 50 billion leva!" Another member of parliament sneered.

"This doesn't give us a choice at all. It really is the descendants of polar bears who have inherited their greed!"

"Since they want the land, let's give it to them. Anyway, it's a barren land. We decided not to accept their blackmail!"

...

Everyone was talking endlessly, but no one could come up with a solution.

"quiet!"

"Now is the time to decide the fate of Canada, and I ask every MP to cast their sacred vote, this time by secret ballot.

Pick up your pens and write down the answer in your mind, whether to cede land, pay compensation, or fight another battle with the Holy Alliance! "Peter Cole said seriously.

There is no way, the newly independent Canadian government does not yet have a strong central government.

The interim government is the self-government government that changed its vest. In order not to become war criminals, the high-level officials went to Sofia for activities.

The current vote is undoubtedly to let the parliament take the responsibility of ceding the territory.

Don't look at everyone's turmoil. In fact, many people are relieved in their hearts. The most fearful thing is that there will be no results, which means that the Holy Alliance will directly turn Canada into a colony.

Now they want to cede some of the islands in the Arctic Ocean region, and they don't feel any pain. These areas belong to Canada in name, and they have never really ruled them at all.

In the chaos, on September 24, 1941, the Canadian Parliament voted to agree to Bulgaria's territorial claim.

...

"His Majesty,

The Canadians have agreed to all our demands, but Australia is in trouble, now they are just a Japanese colony! " Coleman said embarrassedly

The Japanese government has surrendered, but the later territorial transfer is still in progress, and the Holy Alliance has not had time to take over Australia.

Australia's current status is very embarrassing. They used to be a member of the Commonwealth of Nations and a defeated country.

During the war, the British ceded Australia to the Japanese, which belonged to the Japanese colony. Now Australia is ruled by the Japanese colonial government, which is still a defeated country.

Now there are two governments in Australia, one is the former Australian self-government, which is currently retreating to fight guerrillas in the inland areas, and the other is the Japanese colonial government.

Everyone is busy with the Sofia peace conference, and has not yet positioned Australia, and their legality is still unknown. Even if it wants to negotiate with Australia, the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not know who to turn to.

According to the meaning of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is to recognize the Japanese colonial government, and then treat it as the spoils of the Holy Alliance and annex it directly.

"Has the former Australian Self-Government sent someone to attend the meeting?" Little Ferdinand asked with concern

If no representatives are sent, then it's okay to ignore them.

"Your Majesty, the former Australian Autonomous Government has also sent a delegation, because their status is currently unknown and they have not been accepted by the Holy Alliance!" Coleman thought for a while and said

"Damn it!" Little Ferdinand rubbed his forehead

"Your Majesty, in fact, there is no need to worry about this. As long as the Australian Self-Government does not exist, then we don't have to worry about it!" Coleman whispered

Little Ferdinand's eyes lit up, yes, as long as this Australian self-government does not exist, then Australia is a complete colony.

"I'll leave this matter to you. Try to resolve all resistance forces as much as possible. I will order the coalition forces to delay the time to take over Australia!" Little Ferdinand said solemnly

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Coleman replied calmly

They didn't know that it was this decision that caused the Australian tragedy that caused a sensation in the world, and millions of Australians died as a result.

"Your Majesty, our colonies were too scattered after the war. If we want to incorporate them into the mainland in the future, we need to make adjustments. The cabinet decided to replace some colonies in Africa with Portugal, Belgium, and France!" Prime Minister Thors Ki said

"How to exchange, what if they don't agree?" Little Ferdinand asked with concern

Concentrating colonies is definitely a good thing, which will reduce the difficulty of ruling and save administrative expenses.

"Your Majesty, we can trade Liberia and Ghana for Mozambique of the Portuguese, support Belgium for Malaysia for their colonies in Africa, and Nigeria for Madascar of the French!

If they don't agree to a land deal, we can buy the above areas with money, presumably not for much! "Tolsky said with confidence.

Little Ferdinand opened the map and looked at it carefully. Once these land transactions are concluded, Libya, Chad, and Cameroon will be the demarcation line of the French-protected colony.

"Okay, the government will promote this plan, presumably they will not reject our kindness!" Little Ferdinand said after thinking for a while

Now is the time when Bulgaria is in full swing, as long as it does not harm their own interests, no one is willing to fight against them.

Economically speaking, they did not suffer from this colonial transaction. From a strategic point of view, after the exchange of colonies, direct conflict with Bulgaria can be avoided, and no one can refuse.

...

On December 2, 1941, the Sofia Peace Conference finally came to an end. France, West Russia, and Austria-Hungary divided up the Indian region, the Spaniards got Burma, the Belgians got Malaysia, and Finland got Guyana.

The rest of the European countries can only play soy sauce. The treatment for actively participating in the war and passively participating in the war is completely different. In this regard, Ferdinand is very clear.

In the later period, they were forced to join the war in Switzerland, Portugal, Denmark, Norway and other countries. Apart from sharing a little war reparations, the colonies have nothing to do with them.

Poland, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, which were occupied in the early stage, were naturally not eligible to share the spoils. Originally, Belgium had to fight soy sauce, but it was only because of the transaction with Bulgaria that Malaysia was compensated.

The following war indemnity, the amount of indemnity calculated in advance will not change, but considering the actual situation, the defeated country cannot afford that much money, so the compensation method is changed.

Within a hundred years after the war, Britain, Germany, and Japan had to spend 18.3% of their fiscal revenue every year as war reparations to be paid to the victorious countries.

The distribution ratio of this money is also different. For example, the compensation for the Germans is mainly divided among France, Western Russia, and Austria-Hungary, and Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, and Luxembourg also get part of it.

Bulgaria only took a symbolic point from this war reparation, because the Bulgarian air force participated in the war against Germany, and this is the spoils they deserve.

Another example is the British indemnity, which is mainly obtained by Bulgaria, Spain, and France. Other countries that have sent pilots to the war can also share a share, of which Bulgaria gets the largest share.

The other defeated countries are also handled in the same way. According to the actual situation, the allies who did not participate in the war will naturally have no war reparations.

A bunch of defeated countries in the Americas fought hard at the Sofia Peace Conference, and in the end they still had to pay 5% of their fiscal revenue as war reparations. This taught them a good lesson with the facts.

Of course, if the governments of various countries pay off the total amount of war reparations in advance within a hundred years, then it will end early.

However, considering that war reparations are also calculated with interest, it will be difficult for them to pay off their debts in advance unless the economies of all countries are shut down after the war.

Similarly, if countries have not paid off their debts for a hundred years, the remaining war reparations will be wiped out when the time comes.
