After the German-Austrian army retreated to the Tisza River, the Bulgarian army had to stop its advance, and it was impossible to swim without a boat, right?

Besides, anyway, Bulgaria has already won the battle on the southern front this time, and everyone has no deep hatred, so why do you have to work so hard?

Then the two sides began to stare at each other across the Tisza River, the war was temporarily subsided, everyone was busy, the German-Austrian army was in a hurry to build a defensive line, and the Bulgarian army was busy making a fortune!

The capitalists of the Kingdom of Hungary were fortunate to have hoarded the grain, which was now cheaper than Ferdinand, and even the problem of military rations at the front was solved.

Now the problem is not that it can't be fought, as long as Ferdinand is willing, he can still launch a river crossing operation, the Tisza River is not wide, and there is air force cover, as long as the river crossing is not a problem regardless of casualties, it is not a problem at all, but there is no need to continue fighting!

……

As soon as the Bulgarian army entered the Great Hungarian Plain, Dante Kristof began to plot to take Belgrade, the gateway to the Balkans.

However, before it could be implemented, it was stopped by Ferdinand, for the simple reason that Austria-Hungary could not hold out for long, and there was no need to consume precious troops here.

As a result of the war, the Kingdom of Hungary now has hundreds of thousands of refugees, which obviously strengthens the determination of the Hungarians to withdraw from the war, and once the Kingdom of Hungary withdraws from the war, then Austria-Hungary will naturally not be able to hold on.

Now the only thing that hinders the Kingdom of Hungary from withdrawing from the war is the hundreds of thousands of German troops on the front, as long as they are there, the Hungarians will not dare to act rashly!

Otherwise, wouldn't it be tragic that they declared independence on the front foot and were suppressed on the back foot? You can't expect Ferdinand to send troops to rescue them, can you?

Of course, if it really happened, Ferdinand would definitely send troops to help, but robbing while the fire was naturally indispensable, in case something happened along the way, what was the delay, this was beyond the reach of manpower!

……

The royal palace of Sofia, Ferdinand is holding a conference on the disposition of Hungary after the war, and as an old neighbor, Bulgaria is undoubtedly the most vocal on this issue.

Even though John Bull had promised them, the lessons of Italy had already taught the Hungarians that it was better to obtain the endorsement of the Entente parties before acting.

The county officials are not as good as the current ones, and a large part of the land in the Kingdom of Hungary is in the hands of Bulgaria, and if it is not possible to obtain the understanding of Bulgaria, it will be very difficult to clarify the question of the ownership of these lands in the future.

Unless the Hungarians believe that they can regain lost territory by force, it is better to negotiate terms before acting, so as not to cry later.

The battle on the southern front ended so uneventfully, Ferdinand has been in a good mood recently, so the Hungarians have caught up with a good time, of course, his good mood does not change the final result!

Foreign Minister Metev said calmly: "Your Majesty, the representatives of Hungary have secretly arrived in Sofia, and they have already submitted an application to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for peace talks.

Judging by the current contacts, the attitude of the Hungarians is still very resolute, they want to restore the territory they had before the war, they want to recover the Central Danube Plain and the Transylvanian Plateau from us. ”

Ferdinand smiled and asked, "What kind of price did the Hungarians offer?" ”

As a defeated country, how can it be possible to withdraw from the war without paying the price?

Metyev laughed and said: "They cooperate with us to settle this German army in the territory of the Kingdom of Hungary, and at the same time have the friendship of the Kingdom of Hungary!" ”

Prime Minister Konstantin smiled and said: "Is it a condition to kill this German army?" If the Hungarians are capable, let them let the Germans go, I wonder if the Germans will let them go as a traitor?

As for the friendship of the Kingdom of Hungary? After independence, the Kingdom of Hungary was just an ordinary kingdom, and their friendship was valuable? ”

It was not that Konstantin discriminated against them, but now the status of the two sides was not equal at all, the Kingdom of Hungary that remained in Austria-Hungary was still one of the great powers, and the independent Kingdom of Hungary was just an ordinary kingdom.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, the status of the great powers and ordinary states was very different, otherwise Ferdinand would not have wasted so much effort in order to get Bulgaria to join the club of great powers!

Although the Hungarians were ready for independence, they were not prepared to face the changes in international status caused by independence, and continued to conduct diplomacy with the international status of Austria-Hungary.

Obviously, it is impossible for Bulgaria to buy them, if it is Austria-Hungary they are indeed entitled to stop the loss, but it is only a Hungarian kingdom, and Bulgaria will not divide them up with the woolly bear after the war, even if Ferdinand has a temperance.

Foreign Minister Metyev still smiled and said: "Prime Minister, the Kingdom of Hungary is still valuable to us now, we have to give an explanation, right?" ”

Prime Minister Konstantin nodded, and after a moment of silence, said: "You mean to deceive the Hungarians and write them a blank check?"

No, we can't damage our international credibility for such a trivial matter! ”

After saying that, everyone turned their eyes to Ferdinand, and usually this kind of thing is decided by him personally.

After a moment of hesitation, Ferdinand said slowly: "Tell the Hungarians that they can take back these territories, but they must pay the price, and we accept the land for redemption."

Of course, if in this world war they contributed enough, we can also give up asking them for this money! ”

Everyone trembled slightly, there is definitely a problem here, when did Ferdinand speak so well? You must know that in Bulgaria's strategic planning, Transylvania has already been included in the mainland, how can it be spit out again? At least the Kingdom of Hungary is not yet capable of getting Bulgaria to return the meat that has already entered the bowl!

So there is no doubt that this is a blank check, how much the Kingdom of Hungary can contribute to this world war, is there a specific criterion for this?

Unfortunately, no! Only a contribution that is recognized by Bulgaria is a contribution, otherwise it is all in vain!

As for the land redemption, this is only equivalent to the war reparations in disguise, as long as Bulgaria offers a sky-high price, it will naturally end without a problem!

Comprehending what Ferdinand meant, Metelf immediately replied: "Yes! ”

The next question is how the Foreign Ministry can fool the Hungarians and convince them of Bulgaria's sincerity!

Education Minister Chekov suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, now we have confiscated the farms of many Hungarian capitalists, and it is really a waste to abandon them like this, it is better to use them to settle Romanian refugees!" ”

These farms are mechanized and don't require a few people at all, but if all the machinery is destroyed and the manpower is intensively cultivated, this will require more manpower.

Chekov had clearly dug a hole in the Hungarians, directly sending mechanized agriculture back to the age of manpower, and if it were a little more insignificant, everyone would be allocated land according to minimum standards, and it would not be a problem to settle millions of people on these lands.

After the war, the Hungarians would be surprised to find that the once rich Middle Danube Plain no longer existed, and was replaced by millions of Romanians.

If Ferdinand had gone a little further, it would not have been impossible to establish a Romanian kingdom directly here.

You must know that due to the war, many local aborigines have run away, and the production materials left by these people can naturally be distributed.

Ferdinand thought for a moment and said, "Then according to the standard of 0.2 hectares (three acres) of land per person, the Romanian refugees will be given land and let them live and work in peace and contentment in the central Danube plain!" ”

Unfortunately, the land of the old nobles could not be moved, otherwise the Danube alone would have housed all the Romanians.

Theoretically, a person with 0.2 hectares of land can house 500 people in one square kilometer, and 5 million people in 10,000 square kilometers.

Of course, in fact, this is impossible, 10,000 square kilometers of land cannot be cultivated land, under normal circumstances, there will be buildings, forests, grasslands and other land.

The distribution base of 0.2 hectares is already the minimum requirement to meet the normal needs of ordinary people, (0.2 hectares = 2000 square meters = 3 acres, the annual output of the plain area, calculated according to 300 kilograms per mu, is only able to make a living.) After all, they also have to exchange other daily necessities, so they can't all eat bread!

However, even so, there are now more than 30,000 square kilometers of the central Danube plain controlled by Bulgaria, which is mainly cultivated land, and even if it is not arable land, it can turn grasslands and forests into arable land, and soil erosion and environmental protection have nothing to do with Bulgaria.

And the owners of these lands, no doubt, were mostly aristocratic, then the capitalists, and finally the yeoman farmers.

The property of the big nobles can't be moved, and the property of the small nobles can't be counted, especially the new nobles, they have nothing to do with Ferdinand, Pan has nothing to do with them, and even their aristocratic status has not been recognized by the old nobles!

To put it simply, Bulgaria confiscated nearly four layers of land according to custom, all of which could be used for distribution, and it was a foregone conclusion that millions of Romanians would take root here.

It is conceivable that in the future Kingdom of Hungary, the Romanian problem will be an important part of it, and a smaller version of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is being born!

However, everyone didn't feel that there was a problem in the slightest, everyone had done it many times, and even their teammates could be pitted, not to mention that the Kingdom of Hungary was still an enemy of Bulgaria before?

If the future Kingdom of Hungary is on the opposite side of Bulgaria, then it is also a good option to support the independence of the Romanians.
