And that's not all, the conflict between Britain and Russia is not only in history! The current conflict between the two countries is not small at all, and it lasted until 1907, before the Russian defeat in the "Russo-Japanese War", the woolly bear was the main enemy of the British!

Since the end of the 70s of the 19th century, the conflict between Britain and Russia in the Persian Gulf region has not stopped, and now it is in full swing.

Due to the special geographical location of the Persian Gulf, it was the only way for Britain to enter India by land, and it was also an ideal base for British expansion into the two river valleys to expand to the Ottomans, and the British Empire would not give up in any case.

In the same way, the ambitious hairy bear, who also had ideas about India and the Ottoman Empire, was naturally unwilling to let Britain occupy the Persian Gulf and block the way forward.

In the Persian Gulf, the two countries are fiercely contested over railways, loans, trade, and even telegraphs.

(Don't be misled by mythological fiction!) What to participate in the First World War, fight soy sauce, the god of the day to gain control of the Persian Gulf, extract oil, John Bull and Hairy Bear will be desperate! ）

Then set your sights on the "grave of empires", thanks to the American Empire, this is familiar to everyone, the famous "Afghanistan"!

From the second half of the 19th century, the woolly bear began to expand wildly in Central Asia, and soon entered the Afghan region.

Britain is gone, and beyond that is British India. Start interfering immediately, the woolly bear is not easy to mess with, why listen to you John Bull, no matter how awesome the navy is, it can't go ashore!

Then Afghanistan poured eight lifetimes of mold, two robbers invaded one after another, and then hit the streets, and were carved up! However, the conflict in the region continues.

In 1891, looking at the map of the world, the woolly bear was full of enemies from the word to the east, and the ability to pull hatred was just right, and it was diplomatically isolated by the powers! Forced to draw closer to his former enemy, relations with France, which was also diplomatically isolated, warmed day by day.

Before, Bulgaria, which was not worth mentioning, and now the government of St. Petersburg, has also begun to pay attention.

As the strategic center of gravity of the Russian Empire shifted eastward, St. Petersburg had decided to adopt a conservative strategy in Europe and a limited strategic contraction in the Balkans.

In this international context, Ferdinand adopted a diplomatic strategy of being close to Russia, and under the intention of Lang You's concubine, the two sides quickly came to the present.

Ferdinand planned to cut through the mess quickly, and sign a peace treaty as soon as possible while Count Paul Shuvalov was in a daze, so as not to have too many dreams.

……

Ferdinand was not as calm as before, and said resolutely: "I called you to a meeting today, not to discuss, but to discuss so many meetings before!" ”

"I won't say more nonsense! Now I have called you over for the sake of negotiations with Russia! The international situation is ever-changing, and now Russia is in a diplomatic stalemate, and this is our best chance! ”

"After this village, there will be no more this shop!"

"You must strive for the early conclusion of the Entente in order to achieve the greatest possible benefits for Bulgaria! In short, this time the sincerity of the Russian Empire is more than ever, although the lion opens his mouth wide and goes to talk! ”

"You are responsible for the specific details! The main negotiations, I personally participated! ”

"Okay, if there is no objection, the meeting will be dismissed!"

After saying that, Ferdinand ignored the fact that everyone was still thinking, and went back to rest! Today he is so tired, fooling people is not an easy job. (That,Fool the author is not good at it.,Usually belong to the fooled)

Lying on a twenty-square-meter bed, Ferdinand tossed and turned, sleepless all night. (Please forgive poverty for limiting my imagination)

"Searching, deserted, miserable and miserable. When it's warm and cold, it's the hardest to breathe. ”

The next morning, Ferdinand appeared with dark circles under his eyes. Proud of the superb makeup skills of the 19th century, he still decisively chose to appear all-natural.

This time, Bulgaria has a good illustration of "cutting through the mess with a quick knife". Count Paul, who had just visited Sofia and had not had time to adjust his state, hurriedly walked to the negotiating table!

Today's division of labor is very simple, Ferdinand is responsible for pretending to be coercive, finalizing the general direction, and the specific content is the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In order to show the importance that Bulgaria attached to the negotiations, the venue was chosen at Ferdinand's royal palace. He wouldn't admit that he didn't want to ride in that carriage because he was lazy!

……

In order to finalize it quickly, Ferdinand made a constructive suggestion: "Count Paul, if we continue to talk like this, I guess you will still be sitting here today next year!" I think St. Petersburg, like us, does not want to drag on indefinitely, so let's just negotiate in groups! ”

Paul Shuvalov pondered for a moment, thinking in his heart. "After the dissolution of the German-Russian Reinsurance Treaty, he was idle, and if he didn't show his achievements, he would not be considered incompetent by the tsar! Talking separately doesn't affect the result, it's a big deal to take a look at it yourself! ”

"Your Excellency is right, for the sake of the friendship between our two countries, it is indeed necessary to finalize the treaty as soon as possible, and on behalf of the Russian Empire, I agree to negotiate in groups!"

There was a roaring applause in the venue, and everything was going in a good direction. Russia considers the most important military alliance, which Ferdinand had signed with Nikolai before, and now it is mainly in the area of commerce and trade.

Ferdinand personally approached Count Paul Shuvalov to chat. No, it is to discuss the main concern of Bulgaria - the introduction of population.

still used the trick of fooling, "Count Paul, as far as I know, the Russian Empire has developed rapidly in recent years! ”

At the end of the 19th century, Russia was in its glory days, its influence from Europe to Asia, radiating the world, and it was one of the main challengers to world hegemony.

Speaking of the Russian Empire, Count Paul Shuvalov suddenly became excited, and said with a fluttering eyebrow: "Yes, Your Excellency, the great Russian Empire, with the blessing of God, is developing by leaps and bounds, and it can be expected that in the near future, it will surpass the hated John Bull!" ”

Ferdinand also smiled cooperatively, and complimented: "The Russian Empire is the successor of the ancient Roman Empire, and it is a matter of time before it surpasses Britain, and the future Europe and even the world will definitely be headed by your country!" ”

Paul Shuvalov is already a little floating, but in the end he is still the elite of the times, and he has not got carried away. After sorting out his emotions a little, he still couldn't hide his pride and said: "Your Excellency, we still have a long way to go beyond the British, and if Bulgaria joins, I believe this time will be shortened a lot!" ”

"Oh, Count Paul, you're wrong, we're already allies, I guess you've heard some rumors!" Ferdinand had a smug expression

Paul Shuvalov was taken aback, it seems that the secret treaty really exists, damn the Ministry of Foreign Affairs get out, it didn't tell me the specific content, could it be that Lao Tzu leaked the secret!

"By the way, I heard that in recent years, the number of immigrants to the Americas from the Russian Empire has increased dramatically, what is going on?" Ferdinand asked, changing his style
