Mediterranean Hegemony Road

The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Top Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? A piece of news that I don't know is good or bad came to Sofia, and Queen Xenia sent news - little Ferdinand's Lifetime matters are to be resolved.

It's just that the object of the marriage is somewhat beyond Ferdinand's expectations. The object of this marriage is actually the Dutch royal family!

Princess Juliana, born in The Hague, Netherlands in 1904, is the only daughter of Queen Wilhelmina and Prince Hendrick.

This is the problem. If nothing else, Princess Juliana will also inherit the throne of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the future, and Ferdinand will inherit the throne of the Kingdom of Bulgaria.

This has a serious problem, how will they live their married life in the future?

But soon Ferdinand put this problem behind him. Under normal circumstances, he and Queen Wilhelmina have a long life, and this problem will not break out in the short term.

As for the future?

For Ferdinand, after thirty or forty years, their children's children will be able to play soy sauce, and their children will just be on top of it?

This is also in line with the actual social traditions of Europe. You can inherit the throne today and pass it on to your children tomorrow. It is a legal act.

In addition to this, all of Princess Juliana's conditions met Ferdinand's criteria for choosing a daughter-in-law, the identity matched, there was no scandal in her personal life, and she was healthy without worrying about fertility issues.

"I have no problem. If Ferdinand is willing, you can formally propose to the Dutch royal family!" Ferdinand thought for a while and said

As for the Dutch royal family will not refuse?

Ferdinand didn't even think about it. Now the Dutch royal family is not having a good time recently. The Indonesian rebellion has consumed a lot of energy in the country.

A large number of family members of the dead soldiers are looking for trouble with the government. If the rebellion cannot be quelled in a short period of time, the status of the Dutch royal family will be unstable. Now is the time when they need support the most!

A political marriage with Bulgaria can not only consolidate the status of the Dutch royal family at this time, but also divert the attention of the people and ease the pressure on the government through this marriage.

After receiving Ferdinand's reply, Xenia breathed a sigh of relief. There are too many factors to consider in the royal marriage, and there are too few suitable candidates, so it is impossible to ask too much in many aspects.

...

"Helena, what do you think of Julianna and little Ferdinand?" Xenia asked tentatively

Wilhelmina was startled and reacted quickly. If the recent rebellion in Indonesia was not too disturbing, she would have discovered this problem long ago.

It is not a secret in the European royal family that Xenia found a daughter-in-law for little Ferdinand with great fanfare.

Politically speaking, marriage with Bulgaria is an irresistible temptation for any European royal family. Today's world is the mainstream era of constitutional monarchy, and there are few kings who can hold real power.

Bulgaria is one of them, and it is also one of the most powerful countries in the world today. The object of the marriage is the future Bulgarian king, so the political implications of this marriage are doomed to be extraordinary.

Many people are speculating that the two countries may marry again this time. Now Nicholas II's youngest daughter and young Ferdinand, the cousins, have reached the age of marriage.

But it doesn't matter, the Bulgarian royal family is not much else, that is, there are many princes, and there are five boys behind, enough for everyone to share.

The only regret is that the marriage with the prince behind has been weakened a lot, and it is difficult to influence Bulgarian politics for a long time.

Wilhelmina also thinks so, but it is surprising that the two royal families of Bulgaria and Russia have not announced the news of their marriage.

If it is to marry a prince behind, Wilhelmina will agree without hesitation. If the crown prince is replaced by Ferdinand, she will have a headache.

Just like what Ferdinand was worried about, in the future, little Ferdinand and Juliana are both heirs to the throne,

It is impossible for both parties to make concessions and live in each other's country for a long time, so what should we do in this married life?

Queen Wilhelmina's own married life is one of the victims of political marriages, which have been in name only since Juliana was born, and she doesn't want her only daughter to follow her example.

(Queen Wilhelmina's full name: Wilhelmina Helena Pauline Marie; Juliana's full name: Juliana Louise Emma Mary Wilhelmina)

But she was unwilling to refuse this marriage, because the political interests contained in it were too great. As long as the news of the marriage between the two parties is announced, the political crisis facing the Dutch royal family can be solved.

"I think the two of them are very good. Why don't you ask the parties involved? If they don't object, then..." Queen Wilhelmina made a decision after hesitation.

Born into a royal family, marriage is doomed to be sacrificed, the chance of encountering true love is infinitely small, and if you can treat each other with respect, that is a model couple.

Like Ferdinand, is he in love with Xenia? The answer is very clear and cruel. They only have the family love built up over time, and the love has not yet begun, and they have entered the grave of marriage.

So usually royal marriage, as long as the other party is not too annoying, just agree to it, otherwise the result will only be worse.

"Well, of course! We have to be responsible for their marriage, and it's up to them to decide for themselves!" Xenia said with a smile

...

In 1926, it was the worst year for the Kingdom of the Netherlands. In order to suppress the Indonesian rebellion, the Dutch government organized a counter-insurgency army, but it was accidentally trapped by the British.

In less than a year, 150,000 troops have been defeated, which has exceeded the capacity of this kingdom. The most important thing is that the war against rebellion is still a long way off.

For the next war, the Kingdom of the Netherlands had to continue to increase the army. The Dutch government has sent nearly 400,000 troops, and the army stationed there before, there are still nearly 300,000 troops left.

The war potential of the Kingdom of the Netherlands has almost fully erupted. If they are defeated again, then they will have to reluctantly give up the Indonesian colony.

Obviously, this is unacceptable to the vested interests in the Netherlands, and when the anti-war wave broke out in Europe, the Kingdom of the Netherlands was naturally affected.

The people demanded an end to the war, but at the same time they were unwilling to give up the huge benefits brought by the Indonesian colony, and the trouble for the Dutch government came!

Such illogical demands, but in the eyes of ordinary people, these are all reasonable, because they only demanded the government to end the war, but did not say that they would give up the current social welfare benefits?

Can this kind of thing be explained clearly to them?

Obviously it doesn't exist. Smart people know that many families of soldiers advocate an immediate end to the war and allow their relatives to go home and reunite.

If the Dutch government did give up the colonies, negotiated with the rebels to redeem the captives, and then had to cut their social benefits to fill the hole because of the economic benefits that the colonies brought, they would soon change their faces.

This is true for all parties involved, let alone ordinary people? On the one hand, they were anti-war, and on the other hand, they were unwilling to give up the interests they had obtained. This kind of conflict in their hearts put pressure on the government.

How much is Indonesia's colony worth in this era? In terms of economic value and military value, it is greater than the sum of all Bulgarian colonies!

The resources here are so rich, and the agricultural resources are so rich that many local people do nothing but pick wild animals and plants for a living.

Mineral resources are equally abundant. Oil, natural gas, coal, iron, tin, bauxite, nickel, copper, gold, silver and other mineral resources are all available.

In the 21st century, Indonesia has easily supported a population of 200 million to 300 million people, and the export of mineral resources directly accounts for more than 10% of the country's GDP.

It is also because the natural conditions here are so superior, and the local people have no will to fight. The fourth most populous country in the world does not have much sense of presence internationally.

Even if it is so reluctant to make progress, Indonesia still relies on its rich resources to become one of the top ten economies in the world.

Naturally, the Dutch do not want to let go of such a treasure. For example, the rubber used in Bulgaria is almost all imported from Indonesia.

The changes in the main rubber producing areas in later generations were mainly caused by the domestic turmoil in Indonesia. Ordinary people disliked planting rubber as too troublesome, and gradually declined.

If anyone does statistics, it will be found that even in this era, Indonesia's economy surpassed that of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

...

When Christmas came, the Dutch royal family and the Bulgarian royal family released the good news of the marriage between the two countries to the world at the same time. This good news is not only for the parties involved, but also good news for European countries.

The Netherlands is only a small kingdom. Even if the relationship between the Netherlands and the Netherlands changes, it will not affect the world situation. All European countries can rest assured that the shadow of the merger between Bulgaria and Russia has disappeared. The British government even held a banquet to celebrate the good news.

Compared with Bulgaria's continued marriage with the Russian royal family, they are still more willing to see Bulgaria and the Dutch royal family marry.

After all, the power of the alliance between Bulgaria and Russia is too great. In the eyes of the British, if there is no civil war in the Russian Empire, the two countries may have merged now.

In the eyes of the outside world, the possibility of the merger of the two countries has not disappeared. If the two royal families marry again, the future integration of the two royal families will almost become inevitable.

No one thinks that the seriously ill young Akreshe will survive Nicholas II, and even the possibility of leaving offspring is almost zero.

In this context, the succession of the tsar will fall to the daughter of Nicholas II. In order to maximize the benefits, it is almost inevitable that the younger daughter will become the union of the tsar and Ferdinand to achieve a smooth transition after the merger of the two countries. s Choice.

It can be said that when Ferdinand and Nicholas II signed a treaty to jointly establish the Slavic Federation Empire, they not only deceived the Russians, but even the whole world was deceived.

Although both countries have adopted high secrecy measures, the secret contract was exposed when the Germans conquered St. Petersburg. At that time, both Bulgaria and Russia denied it, saying that it was a German conspiracy.

But everyone still believed it, because the merger of the two countries not only has sufficient interests, but also has a deep civil foundation. The people of both countries support the establishment of a federal empire, and the only dispute is on the issue of dominance.

If the heir of the combination of the two royal families becomes the new emperor of the empire, it is estimated that no one will object, so that everyone will have an equal status in name.

It can be said that the sudden civil war of the Russian Empire saved the world hegemony of the British Empire, otherwise a behemoth that occupied most of the world island would have been born.

Of course, this is what the outside world thinks. Although Ferdinand was tempted, he finally gave up. The interests of this are indeed very large, but the interests of the country are not equal to the interests of the royal family!

The king of Bulgaria, he laid the foundation, as long as future generations do not mess around, they are almost as stable as Mount Tai.

But the emperor of the federal empire is not so easy to do. Internally, there is Russia's messy problems, and externally, there is hostility from countries all over the world.

The British always believed that a sudden rebellion in the Russian Empire saved the world!

Originally, the alliance between Bulgaria and the Russian Empire had always been dominated by the Russians. Once the two countries merged, the Russian Empire would become the main body of this new empire.

This all changed with the outbreak of the Russian Empire's civil war, they lost the power to suppress Bulgaria, and Bulgaria also lost the power to suppress the Russian Empire.

A battle for dominance is sure to break out between the two sides, as Bulgaria allowed the Russian Empire’s civil war to break out and acquiesced in the British and French support for the rebels.

These were interpreted by the British as a struggle for dominance between the two sides, so John Bull did not hesitate to invest a lot of resources to keep the Russian Civil War going.

In their opinion, this kind of struggle will definitely escalate as time goes on. Even in the struggle between Austria and Hungary in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, didn't Hungary cry and cry for independence in the end?

What's more, what about the two countries that have not yet begun to merge? The marriage between the Bulgarian royal family and the Dutch royal family was regarded by them as a political victory for the British Empire!

Well, these are the claims of the British media. In Ferdinand's view, what the British government did was just to divert public attention and ease their public opinion pressure.

This achievement will be shared by the Lloyd-George Cabinet, who framed and implemented this policy, and the Stanley Baldwin Cabinet, who continued the policy and made the plan a reality.

No matter how you look at it, it is the serious political consequences brought about by Stanley Baldwin's cabinet in order to resolve the current-British Empire's poor performance in foreign wars.

The British people were satisfied, and suddenly they realized that the British Empire had gone through a dangerous period, but fortunately, the government used political means to resolve it.

For a time, the popular support rate of Stanley Baldwin's cabinet directly reached its peak value.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the alliance between Bulgaria and Russia can unify the world island. The population of this combination exceeds the sum of the European countries, and the European continent can also be flattened by human sea tactics.

The Royal Navy of the British Empire is invincible in the world, and the British Empire Army should forget it. Isn't the lesson of the First World War enough?

British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin publicly announced that the war being waged by the British Empire is to avoid a larger war in the future. This is for the long-term interests of the Empire!

In order to enhance persuasion, the British Empire also took the initiative to create enemies for itself, and Japan, Russia, Bulgaria, and France were all honored on the list.

In the new round of risk factor analysis rankings, Japan gloriously occupied the first place, surprisingly, the Russian Empire ranked second, and France and Bulgaria ranked third or fourth.

Ferdinand knew that this list was created by the Conservative London media.

It is Mr. Churchill's credit that Japan can be ranked first. If he does not promote the Japanese threat theory, how can he explain the colonial rebellion in Southeast Asia, which has not been pacified for a long time?

The Russians ranked second, mainly considering the receptivity of the British public. After all, Bulgaria, which has just risen, has a fart feeling. In the consciousness of many elderly people, Bulgaria is still a small country.

This subconscious judgment cannot be changed overnight. As a news media, of course, it must meet the needs of the people, otherwise who will they sell the newspaper to?

Originally, the London government launched the Afghan war this time to prevent Bulgarian forces from infiltrating into Central Asia.

It is estimated that God does not understand, where did the Russian Empire in the civil war have the courage to expand into Central Asia!

These are all irrelevant to the media. They are just to create topics. They can sell more newspapers, earn more advertising fees, and help the cabinet ease political pressure.
