"Your Majesty, the British Government has sent a note to the Foreign Office protesting our actions in the Persian region!" Metev said cautiously

"Have we taken military action against the Persian government?" Ferdinand asked, confused

"Not yet!" Metyev replied

"In that case, then it's better to restore the British directly, we have not taken unilateral military action, what do they have to protest about?

Could it be that Bulgaria is conducting a military exercise on its own territory and still has to report back to them? Ferdinand said calmly

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Metyev replied

There is nothing wrong with it, although it is preparing for military action, but until it is implemented, it is not considered a violation of the agreement.

Since there has been no breach of agreement, what is there to explain?

……

London

Stanley Baldwin hasn't been in a good mood for a few days since he moved into Downing Street, with workers on strike at home and Bulgaria, France, and Japan all on the go.

"Prime Minister, we must take decisive action to let the Bulgarians know that we are good!" Chancellor of the Exchequer Winston Churchill said angrily

"Mr. Churchill, what do you think we should do? Fight directly with the Bulgarians?

IMHO, with your level of military ability, I'm afraid you don't have this right to speak! The Secretary of State retorted

This is not nonsense, as a mouth artillery expert, the command ability in military is infinitely equal to about zero.

When he was in command of the navy, he was overwhelmed by the unlimited submarine warfare of the Germans, and when he stepped down, the next Admiralty Minister quickly solved the problem.

When he commanded the army, he also lost his troops and almost became a prisoner, in fact, it was also the consequence of his disobedience to military orders and unauthorized actions, if it weren't for his strong background and pushing the black pot to his superiors, he would have gone to military court long ago.

In Stanley Baldwin's cabinet, Churchill, chancellor of the exchequer, can be said to be out of place, and he seems to have joined in just to tear it down.

Many times, they wondered if Churchill was an undercover agent sent by a competitor to stumble on them.

History has proven it: yes!

It's just that he wasn't sent by others, he himself is sabotaging and creating conditions for his ascension. For example, directing the army to suppress workers' strikes without authorization has very serious political consequences.

Then, patting his ass and leaving, Stanley Baldwin's government had to clean up the aftermath of Stanley's first term as prime minister after only a few months.

Before becoming prime minister, Churchill ran at least three cabinets, which can be said to have brought the talent of politicians to the extreme.

"Why is it that the British Empire is still afraid of a small Bulgaria? If we don't take action, won't we let the outside world think that our British Empire has fallen, and any cat or dog can come and step on it? Churchill said with a sneer

"The problem is that the Bulgarians did not violate the agreement between us, and judging by the current situation, they were only trying to intimidate the Persian government.

Is it really worth it if we go directly to Bulgaria for such a trivial matter?

Now the population does not want a war, and in Persia I also think that our army can win against Bulgaria! Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin thought for a moment and said

"Then we watched as Bulgaria encroached on our sphere of influence, and then followed Persia into India and seized our India?" Churchill said with a sneer

"Mr. Churchill, I think you need to calm down, in less than a month you have advocated military action against Japan, France, the Russian Empire, and now Bulgaria has been added, are you a war madman?" Stanley Baldwin asked angrily

It's not that Stanley has a bad temper, it is estimated that any leader will not have a good temper when he encounters a subordinate who wants to do things repeatedly.

Had it not been for the need to reconcile the feud within the party, he would have kicked Churchill out of the cabinet long ago.

Churchill's hatred of Bulgaria?

No!

For politicians, there is no need for hatred, only the need and the need! Now provoking the Anglo-Bulgarian conflict is conducive to gaining political capital for him, and he hates Bulgaria.

In the same way, so he advocated being tough on France and Japan.

Stanley Baldwin was already the leader of the moderates, followed by Neville Chamberlain, who Churchill had to be the leader of the hardliners.

From the very beginning, they were destined to become political enemies, and the relationship between the two sides was naturally not much better, and it was normal for each other to tear each other down.

"In that case, then you can continue this meeting, and I, a war maniac, should leave first!"

Churchill finished his sentence with a sneer, then turned and walked away, without any intention of taking everyone into account.

In this regard, Stanley Baldwin is already surprised, anyway, he has already made up his mind to find an opportunity to kick him out of the cabinet, so naturally he is too lazy to pay attention to it.

"Okay, peasant, fuck off, let's continue the meeting we just had!" Stanley said, waving his hand

"Mr. Prime Minister, I suggest that we negotiate directly with the Bulgarians, delineate the sphere of influence through a clear treaty, or directly divide the Persian region!" Secretary of State Neville Chamberlain proposed

"This is a good idea, since the Bulgarians did not directly attack the Persian region, it means that they do not intend to turn against us directly.

We have a lot of room to operate, there is no need for direct military confrontation, and fighting and killing all day long will not solve the problem! The War Secretary chimed in

Isn't fighting a war with Bulgaria in the Persian region looking for death?

The British Army is not the Royal Navy and has the confidence to fight any country. In an era when the anti-war ideology of the whole people is spreading, it is better not to fight if there is no war, even if it is only a local war.

As the leader of the moderates, Stanley Baldwin's cabinet was naturally dominated by the moderates. Now that the British Empire has been fed, it is naturally impossible to go on an adventure.

Don't look at Churchill to keep his mouth shut, take action. If he were prime minister now, he would probably make the same decision as Stanley.

How can there be fewer contradictions between countries? If there was a direct military confrontation or a war because of a small contradiction, then the British Empire would not have been able to reach its current position, and would have died halfway through.

What are the consequences of the outbreak of a full-scale war with Bulgaria now? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that in addition to losing both, is there a second outcome?

The First World War has taught politicians all over the world that war is not very cruel, just look at the Russian Empire, which is obviously a victorious country, but unfortunately it looks no different from a defeated country.

Even France only won face, and the huge war reparations could not make up for the loss of their strength, you must know that before the outbreak of the war, the comprehensive national strength of the French was at least more than half of that of the British, and now it is not even one-third.

……

The controversy in London, which soon reached Ferdinand, did not surprise him.

In his previous life, he had heard many rumors that Churchill was an American spy, but in later life it was difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Even in this time and space, it is impossible to confirm the truth of this news, but Churchill's opposition to attacking the United States is indeed true, but he is unable to support it alone.

Ferdinand preferred to believe that the Americans had bought Churchill at great expense, or had seized him by the hand and threatened him with certain decisions.

After all, Churchill's policy of making wedding dresses for the United States is too much, to the point that it is unacceptable, and it is easy to misunderstand that the Americans have elevated his status so high in later generations.

As a gravedigger of the British Empire, how can he be worthy of such a high evaluation? This is obviously abnormal, a loser became the greatest prime minister in British history, is this a joke of history?
