Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Compared with the clear strategic goals of the Allies, the strategies of the Allies are a bit embarrassing!

As the eldest German, he is still in a daze, and regards his biggest enemy as the French, and is ready to overthrow France again, so that he can dominate the European Big 6!

The remaining two younger brothers are still fighting each other. The Italians are still eyeing the territory of Austria-Hungary. Although the Germans are trying to reconcile in the middle, this contradiction still exists!

Similarly, the Italians are also eyeing their quasi-ally Ottoman Empire, and even the semi-ally Greece, the Italians have expressed interest!

If you talk about cheating teammates, from ancient times to the present, when it comes to Italy, it is estimated that people who know the modern history of Europe will not have any doubts!

Then there is the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Joseph I's mind is still very clear now. After annexing Serbia, he regretted it!

The national contradictions in the Austro-Hungarian Empire are already big enough, and the endless internal contradictions have suppressed his desire to expand the territory!

In general, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is doing well at the moment, but their desire for war is really worrying!

Without the conflict in the Balkans, the Austro-Hungarian Empire has no desire to fight the Russians! Take a turf? Are the internal conflicts still unresolved?

The Hungarians showed great interest in Romania, but unfortunately they are still allies, and the Vienna government will never tolerate them!

After taking an inventory, Ferdinand found that although the Triple Alliance is still strong in the European Big 6, they have many internal conflicts. The Germans are not British and French, and they have not been able to resolve internal conflicts through diplomatic means!

So even though the Allies are now more united than they were in history, they are still Germans at their core.

Austria-Hungary and Italy have their own plans,

Even they are not so willing to see the Germans dominate the European Big 6!

...

Time passed quickly, and it was Christmas again. On this day, the whole country of Bulgaria was on holiday. Ferdinand was playing with the Christmas tree with four little guys.

Oh, the eldest and the second are helping, the little Caesar is in charge of making trouble, and the third son Peter is cheering and clapping his hands beside him, like a victorious general, but Ferdinand doesn't look angry at all!

The king's son is not so easy to be. Little Caesar probably has a good life for a year or two, and Peter is his last happy time. He will soon follow in the footsteps of the two brothers and experience what it means to be elitist. Noble education!

Ferdinand has to be thankful, fortunately, the family has a deep heritage and has a strict education system for future generations. Basically, they are trained strictly since childhood, and there will be no waste when they grow up!

Usually, this kind of training is often aimed at the eldest son, so there have been many cases where after the eldest son gave birth to an accident, the later heir is a waste!

But when it came to Ferdinand, he directly decided that all sons should receive the same education!

The big deal is that in the future, I will create a few more kingdoms overseas and throw them out to be kings. In this way, even if there is any change in the future, the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha-Kohali family can maintain a prominent position. !

Oh, it's all in the future, let's enjoy the family for now!

But Ferdinand was quickly attracted by a piece of news!

"Your Majesty, the Sofia has been completed, and the trial voyage can begin at any time. We have our own dreadnought!" Xiang Constantine said somewhat incomparably.

"What?" Ferdinand said in surprise

"Your Majesty, we are the second country in the world to own a dreadnought!" Constantine said excitedly

After repeated confirmation, Ferdinand finally confirmed that this thing is true! Due to Ferdinand's butterfly effect, Bulgaria started preparations in advance and finally replaced Germany as the second country in the world to have a dreadnought!

I believe this news will soon shock the world!

Perhaps among the upper echelons of the various countries, they will not be too surprised. After all, they know that the Bulgarian dreadnought started construction in the first half of 19o7, and it has the technical support of Gallic Chicken. It is not surprising that it can be built!

But ordinary people don't know! They will only be shocked by the strength of Bulgarian industry and sigh at the strength of Bulgaria!

Although this kind of civil recognition cannot increase Bulgaria's hard power, it can increase its soft power! What the Bulgarian government lacks now is precisely this soft power!

"Okay! The sea trial ceremony is scheduled for three days. Now we will announce the news and invite ministers from various countries to participate in this grand event!" Ferdinand said excitedly.

He knew that as soon as the news came out, this Christmas would change and the whole world would be shocked!

After all, in everyone's cognition, the second dreadnought should be the French, the German, or even the Russians, Austria-Hungary, Italy, or even the Americans are within the scope of their guesses!

The second country capable of building dreadnoughts is Bulgaria? The first reaction of normal people is that it is impossible!

What the hell is Bulgaria? God's back garden, I heard that where the roses are good, that's all!

Although Bulgaria has risen after the Balkan War, its international influence is limited to the Near East, and its popularity in the world is still so unknown!

...

In fact, due to the backwardness of news transmission in this era, except for the Bulgarian people, other countries only got the news at Christmas. After the ordinary people received the news, they don't know how long it has been!

...

As the news spread, Sofia became lively first, of course, Christmas was very lively! This news undoubtedly adds another joy!

Many people's first reaction is whether today is April Fool's Day? Although everyone knows that Bulgaria has launched the dreadnought project, no one can believe it is completed so quickly!

You must know that so many countries in the world have this technology now, and the Bulgarian dreadnoughts are coming too fast!

From the beginning of the War of Independence to the present, after two generations of unremitting efforts, the dream of a great power is now finally coming true!

Of course, this is not the dream of a big country in Ferdinand's mind. He is very clear that Bulgaria has only taken the first step, and there is still a long way to go!

History told him that if a country does not have enough territory and enough people, it will never become a real great country!

Can half the Balkans support a powerful country? The answer is no!

Even the entire Balkans can only support one regional power at most. In parallel times, the British and French have proved this with practical actions!

The ideal country in Ferdinand's mind is one that includes...
