Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Chapter 165, Baldur Transactions

The affairs of the Americans made Britain and France discover the importance of union. Due to the factors of the world war, many overseas colonies of Britain and France have become unstable. How can there be less black hands from other countries?

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

The Paris Peace Conference is still going on. After knowing the plans of the French, the Germans are naturally not idle. Maybe their diplomatic response will be a little slower, but they still know what to do with public relations.

At this moment, Hindenburg appeared in the Bulgarian embassy in Paris, and he was still chatting and laughing with Konstantin, but the sadness on his eyebrows could not go away.

The conversation between the two quickly got to the point, and Hindenburg said cautiously: "Respected Prime Minister Constantine, once the French people's goals are achieved, they will become the new masters of the European continent, which will certainly harm the 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 Bulgaria's core interests!

You should be clear that since the retention of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Bulgaria's strategy has begun to shift to Asia, and we have no plans to dominate the world, and there is no need to fight the French on 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 annexation of Germany, even if the French became the hegemon of Europe, 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 plans, whether it is the rise of the French to dominate the European continent, or the renaissance of Germany to dominate Europe, it does not matter to us!

When you rise again, I believe Bulgaria has also developed to a new level,

As an emerging country, you should know that in terms of development speed, we are much faster than the old empires! "

Hindenburg's face sank. They are not afraid of Bulgaria's ambitions for the European continent. As long as Bulgaria wants to develop into Europe, the relationship between Britain, France and Bulgaria will inevitably break down, and their opportunity will come.

Like now, it will be different after Bulgaria turns to the Asian continent. Bulgaria, which has already had enough food and drink in this war, has a high possibility of going silent, practicing hard and watching the situation in Europe, then the life of the Germans Not too bad!

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 roll his eyes, the meaning is very obvious. If you have the conditions, go ahead. If you just want Bulgarian support, then don't dream!

After a pause, Hindenburg smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Constantine, as long as your country can guarantee the integrity of the German mainland, we can transfer all the colonies to your country!"

Constantine sneered and said: "Mr. Hindenburg, do you think the German colonies are still yours? I'm sorry that the Allies have decided to confiscate them, so this has nothing to do with you now! By the way, even your navy. Also confiscated, we have made a deal to be owned by 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, and you should also know what we are interested in! "

That's right, the things that the German Empire can be worthy of Bulgaria's attention now are not land, machinery and equipment, let alone money, and the talents that the Germans have accumulated 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, but to search for talents everywhere!

In order to collect more talents to serve Bulgaria, the Bulgarian army not only did not levy levies in the occupied area, but also distributed relief food very generously, 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, and even coaxes and deceives these elite talents. For example, as long as they are willing to serve Bulgaria for 20 years, not only can they get a rich reward, but they can also protect their homes from damage, and even let them They think that the relief food that the civilians are getting now are all obtained after they promised to work for Bulgaria, and they use their patriotic integrity to fool them into willingly working for Bulgaria!

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

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

The materials they obtained from Bulgaria alleviated the domestic crisis, and a large amount of materials were distributed to the civilians for free, which eased everyone's resentment against the royal family. Coupled with the death of the prince, they won enough sympathy points for them, and Bulgaria has promised that this war will not hold them for war crimes!

Now it's Hindenburg's turn to make a decision. Even if he has resigned, the Junkers aristocrats still control the power of the country!

After hesitating again and again, Hindenburg smiled wryly and nodded 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 to introduce talents and do their ideological work well!"

Constantine shook his head and said: "You came a little 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 the German mainland as much as possible. I personally suggest that you prepare for the independence of Poland, and even the worst outcome is that South Germany, led by Bavaria, has the possibility of independence! "

Hindenburg's face sank, and he said excitedly: "Mr. Constantine, we can't let South Germany become independent no matter what, you should know that North and South Germany's religious beliefs are not the same, and once a division occurs, it will never be reunified!

As long as you guarantee that South Germany will not be divided, we can provide all the metallurgical, chemical, and 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 even the Americans offered a higher price and provided him with a large loan to them so that their economy could recover quickly after the war!

...

Interest is always the best catalyst. After reaching a secret deal with the Germans, Constantine immediately changed his position and turned to support the British on the German issue.

At the beginning of a new day of meeting, after the French President once again proposed the dismemberment of Germany, Lloyd-George retorted again: "A divided Germany is not in the interests of all of us, at least they will not be able to pay our war reparations!"

Constantine, who has been with the muddy mud, also echoed: "Mr. George is right, we still need the Germans to pay huge war indemnities to make up for our war losses, then we must ensure the Germans' ability to repay, I personally recommend keeping it. Integrity of German territory!"

Bulgaria's sudden statement broke the balance of the meeting. The isolated Puengale looked gloomy and terrifying at this time. He knew that the strategy of dismembering Germany was about to die.

Still unwilling to say: "As the culprit who started this war, if we don't punish us, what will happen if someone follows suit in the future?

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

And in order to ensure the national defense and security of France, we have decided that we cannot tolerate the presence of a strong Germany. These two are the core interests of our France and must not be compromised! "

Constantine smiled 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 more local kings to come out, as long as the local government and the central government are aware. If the shape is different, it is impossible for Germany to be fully integrated, and it will no longer have the ability to threaten your country!"

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

Poengale thought for a while and said, "Okay! In addition to retaining the existing royal family in Germany, we can establish another kingdom in the east of the Rhine, and East Prussia and German Poland can also establish kingdoms!"

Lloyd-George's face changed drastically. This style of painting is very wrong. Bulgaria, who had just opposed the dismemberment of Germany, actually put forward 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 inner kings of Germany have not refused. It makes sense, everyone is related by blood!

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

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

Infighting is of course indispensable. Ferdinand is also a little worried about the rise of a united German three! If it is a German three empires that are constantly fighting and their strength has been weakened, he will not be cowardly, let the Austro-Hungarian Empire go up first, and go out in person if it fails, there is nothing to fear!

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 dismantled Germany's cohesion, a unified Germany could still prevent the French from continuing to move to Europe. Way to expand!

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

Constantine said cheerfully: "Then it's settled, the two of you please choose first, which country's throne do you need?"

Poengalai's face suddenly turned ugly. Nima and the others are both monarchies. It is naturally easy to choose a king. It's a big deal to support their own royal children, and both of them were born in the Gotha Dynasty, which happened to be Germany. The ancient noble, a bad Gotha family has to add two more crowns!

This is different for the French Republic, they have more troubles, and the three domestic royalists are about to start fighting again!

Poengale said with a wry smile: "Then I'll choose first. We, the French Republic, choose the Kingdom of Poland!"

This is also something that can't be helped. 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 wanted to be independent, it is estimated that no Germans would accept their appointed king!

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

After thinking about it, Lloyd-George decided to bury another nail in France, and check and balance them if necessary. An extremely anti-French Rhine kingdom can 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 the Romanian royal family was born in the German royal family, and they are now together with the Germans in this world war. Let them be the king of Prussia. The Germans are also acceptable. This operation is not difficult!
