Chapter 82: Standing in Formation (20)
"The Russians are going to take advantage of the parliament?" This is a common idea among several major European industrial countries.
It must be noted that the Russians colluded with the pro-Russian faction in Bulgaria to carry out a coup d'Γ©tat. Russia invaded Bulgaria and brutally tortured parliamentarians and killed chickens and monkeys. In the eyes of "civilized nations", this is undoubtedly a great atrocity. However, Maozi was originally a typical barbaric country that was simple and rude, and there is nothing surprising that Maozi did this.
Although the legislators who were beaten and killed deserve sympathy, the European countries have a rather angry feeling of lamenting their misfortune and angering them. The proportion of angry emotions is even greater.
"If only these legislators were willing to die for their country." The British Foreign Office personnel said heartless words.
"Parliamentarians are indeed a bunch of people who refuse to serve their country!" When Prime Minister Bismarck said this, he did not know whether he was commenting more on the Bulgarian parliamentarians or more on the German parliamentarians.
"......" the French side did not comment at all.
"It's good to kill." The Ottoman Empire rejoiced greatly at the suffering of the Bulgarian parliamentarians. However, the Ottoman Empire was then rejoiced by the Ottoman 61 Nuri Marshal Pasha, known as the "Iron Wall Nuri", who was known as the "Iron Wall Nuri", and was fortunate to have troops stationed around Plevin. If Russia still wanted to attack the northern part of the Ottoman Empire through Bulgaria, the Ottoman 61 Nuri Pasha would be able to flank the Russian army.
The only one who was really angry was Austria-Hungary, and the reaction from the top of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was, "Are the Russians going to Romania?!" β
Now the Three Emperors Alliance joined forces more than a hundred years ago, and the unfortunate object of that time was Pingduzhen Luda Bobo, and after the three partitions, Poland became the Kingdom of Poland within Russia, and the Polish crown was worn on the head of the Russian Tsar. In the present situation, the Russians attacked Bulgaria and formed a flank attack on Romania from the north and south. If the Russians did this, Austria-Hungary would have to go into battle shirtless and go to war with the Russians.
Moreover, Mao Zi changed the method of brutally suppressing the parliaments of other countries 40 years ago, and this time he actually played with the parliaments. If Maozi had concocted a ...... in Romania, this was a matter that Austria-Hungary was even more worried about.
In addition to France, the major European powers have summoned their Russian ambassadors in their countries to express their strong protests, and their ambassadors in Russia have also received orders to express strong protests against the Russian Foreign Ministry.
When the Russian Foreign Minister relayed to the Russian Tsar Alexander III at this time, the emperor was fishing. He turned his head in annoyance and looked at the foreign minister's words, and said calmly: "The Russian tsar is still fishing, and Europe can wait for the time being."
After saying that, the tsar continued to fish. Perhaps it was this emotion, and after a few hours there were already a lot of fish in the tsar's basket. After listening to the foreign minister's report, the Tsar, who was full of emotions after being relaxed, asked slowly: "What is the result of the communication with China?" β
The foreign minister bowed his head and replied: "Your Majesty, the Chinese have already agreed." β
After receiving a clear answer, the tsar nodded slightly with satisfaction, "Then after Bulgaria elects a new Grand Duke, release this news." β
"On the Bulgarian side, the troops are working in a hurry." The Russian Foreign Minister hurriedly replied.
The Russian army is indeed intensifying, and elections for a new Bulgarian Grand Duke are taking place in Parliament. The first two of the three on the list are foils, and the one who really likes Russia is the former deputy chief of staff who launched the rebellion, and the current chief of staff, Milosevic. Russia is naturally willing to help this person who has made great contributions to Russia.
"Gentlemen, why don't we elect our Bulgarians to be Grand Dukes? And to get a grand duke from a foreign country to be on top? Milosevic shouted in parliament to a group of silent Bulgarian parliamentarians.
"I am not driving out a Bulgarian, unless the definition of a Bulgarian can be a foreign father, who grew up in a foreign country and served as a soldier in a foreign army. If, like me, you think that only those whose parents are Bulgarians, who were born in Bulgaria and who have fought for Bulgaria at the risk of their lives, are representatives of the Bulgarians, then please vote for me with your solemn vote! β
It must be admitted that these words are indeed quite convincing. If it weren't for the explicit or implicit wounds on the legislators' bodies, perhaps these words would have been more convincing.
Finally, a member of parliament spoke, "If it is Russia who supports this person, then I think this Bulgarian origin should be discounted a little." β
The members of parliament looked at Congressman Sidrov who spoke, and these sonorous words spoke their hearts. They were forced to make a choice by foreign troops under the threat of death, and the legislators were extremely unhappy about it. However, Zhuyu was in front of him, and the parliamentarian who was hanged while chanting Pei Duofei's poems still remembers clearly, he was beaten with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes before his death, and his expression after death was even more deformed. What kind of results will be brought about by such a cheerful speech by the legislators?
Some MPs felt sympathetic, while others felt ...... Inexplicable excitement.
"On the road to full independence for Bulgaria, we always have to pay a price. The party that pays the price will certainly be dissatisfied, but the price depends on what it is for. When we were fighting against the Ottoman Empire, I was fighting on the front lines, and I know quite a few of the parliamentarians here, and I know you because we are all fighting for Bulgaria on the front lines. And that Alexander I was still a Russian soldier at that time. Do you think such a person can represent us in Bulgaria? Milosevic shouted.
"First of all, the complete independence of Bulgaria, and then the liberation of Bulgaria from the control of other countries. If it's for the benefit of the former, I don't care who supports us. And I assure you that I myself will not accept the post of administrator canonized by the Ottoman Empire. I only accept appointments to the Bulgarian parliament! Here, I can solemnly assure you gentlemen that you are all witnesses. You will also see that I will go on so firmly! β
After such incitement, coupled with a full understanding of the violence used by the European gendarmes. After two days of deliberation and a vote on the number theory. In the end, a bill was come up, an election result.
The election result, naturally, was that Milosevic became the new Grand Duke of Bulgaria. The bill states that "non-Bulgarian citizens are not allowed to run for the office of Grand Duke of Bulgaria".
These two pieces of news shook Europe again. Before waiting for some European countries to react to such a bold and reckless action of Bulgaria. Russia also threw out shocking news, "Russia welcomes the visit of the Chinese fleet to St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia." β
