Chapter 620: The Wind Rises in Bulgaria (Part II)

"What do you say, change the king."

Both generals were shocked by Kelsteff's words.

It's not that they are royalists, in fact, they also have a deep dissatisfaction with the current Boris III. However, the two generals were surprised by who had Kersteff propose that the king of Romania should also be king of Bulgaria.

Faced with the two generals who were surprised, Kersteff said. "Actually, it's nothing. Didn't the Austro-Hungarian Empire also consist of the Kingdom of Austria and Hungary? As long as we are guaranteed that our Kingdom of Bulgaria is respected and the rights exercised are not violated, why can't the King of Romania be our sovereign. ”

"But have you thought about whether such a result can be accepted by the domestic people. Even if the people accepted it, there was a dispute between the two countries about whether the wise King Eder was in favor of Romania or Bulgaria. ”

General Ivanov directly voiced his doubts, as for General Georgiev, he was even more direct.

"This is all about the annexation of Bulgaria to Romania, and this act is a betrayal of the country."

Faced with the reaction of the two generals, Kersteff had already anticipated. To be honest, this crazy plan was unrealistic at first, but after seeing the current situation in Bulgaria, the idea became more and more firmly in his mind, so much so that he couldn't resist searching for the divided Austro-Hungarian data in order to draw the conclusions he wanted.

And in the Social Democrats, there are no more than a handful of people who know that he has this in mind. At that time, these people were also opposed to Kelsteff's idea, and after his patient analysis and explanation, these people also changed their minds. And now Kersteff intends to use the same method to brainwash the two generals and make them understand the intentions.

"Two generals, I have a question for me here. How long will it take for Bulgaria to return to the state of Greater Bulgaria? There is a premise here, in the presence of a staunch ally of Romania. ”

Great Bulgaria, a word that made the hearts of the two generals excited, has always been a plot for which Bulgarians have always been reluctant to give up. It's just that both of them know that in the absence of major changes in the situation in Europe, Bulgaria does not have the slightest possibility. Even if he is willing to be a junior brother in an alliance with Romania, Romania has its own interests, and it is impossible to make a big deal about it. All faced with this question, the two were silent.

And Kersteff took advantage of the situation to pursue. "If we replace the king with His Majesty Eder, then at least there is enough advantage for us. I had a good understanding of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and its dualistic system. This system actually benefited the Hungarians as the weaker side, and Austria had to respect the Hungarian attitude, at least when it came to making decisions about the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Actually, that's where I think there's an opportunity to use Romania's power to help us regain our homeland, because we can't do it on our own. ”

Kerstev's words finally made the two generals loosen up, and only listened to General Ivanov. "Then why should we let the Kingdom of Romania use its power to help us regain our homeland?"

"By location."

Kersteff said, pointing to the map of the Balkans behind him. "I've studied Romania and know that it's building warships on a large scale to expand their navy. Although Romania claimed to be directed against the Soviet Union, I do not believe that they were not interested in the Mediterranean. And as long as we have a common monarch with them, we can channel them into a peek into the Mediterranean, which is our greatest advantage.

And as soon as we merge with Romania, its influence will be greatly enhanced in the Balkans. With these two advantages in hand, it is impossible for them not to be impressed. Then we can negotiate with Romania on a favorable outcome on this condition. Even we, the Bulgarians, who occupy the majority of the Southern Dobroja region, may be able to negotiate with Romania. ”

After Kerstiff finished speaking, the two generals exchanged views through eye contact. I saw General Georgiev say. "I have reservations about your idea. Although I also think that it is very difficult to recover the lost territory with Bulgarian power alone. But the Kingdom of Bulgaria should and must be preserved, but no one can afford Bulgaria to lose its homeland. ”

Faced with Georgiev's words, Kerstev replied similarly. "General Georgiev, I have seen the patriotic fervor of Your Excellency. But please believe that I love this country as much as I do, and whether my idea can be realized requires not only our acceptance, but also the willingness of the Romanian side. ”

And Kersteff's words made the two generals smell a hint of information, that is, the idea was Kersteff himself came up with. Not the Romanian idea behind it. This information is very important, at least to show that Romania has no annexation intentions towards Bulgaria.

So Ivanov said. "Your Excellency's idea was very unexpected, and we were a little caught off guard by it. However, under your explanation, I think this matter is too important to be discussed. ”

Led by Ivanov, Georgiev also said. "Your Excellency, both of these plans can be seen to be the result of careful selection. I don't know what to do with it, so let's talk about it again next time. ”

The statements of the two generals about their intention to leave did not give Kersteff any indication either. I saw that he also said politely. "Then we'll talk about it next time."

Kerstev then personally put the two in the car, and when they had both left, Propaganda Minister Rilchev stepped forward and asked. "What was the outcome of the talks?"

"It's not good, but it's not bad. At least I can be sure that General Georgiev, who is in the link group, has no intention of opposing the establishment of another king. ”

Hearing Kerstev's words startled Rilchev. "Why did you tell them about it!"

Looking at the propaganda minister's somewhat excited expression, Kersteff said calmly. "Sooner or later, they will find out about it, and it would be good to inform them in advance about a vaccination. By the way, how did you do what you advertised in the army? ”

Faced with the party chairman's inquiry, Rilchev told the truth. "I've sent people to do propaganda in the places they like to go to around the barracks, and the results are not bad. At present, many soldiers have shouted out our words that they would rather be part of other countries, if they can help restore Bulgaria to its former glory. ”

"There is also a need to continue to increase the propaganda of the army. I guess the content of today's conversation will be leaked out soon, and we will be busy by then. ”

That's right, Kersteff said it on purpose, and in his heart there was a crazy plan. I haven't told anyone that now the plan can be implemented.
