Although Ferdinand was also an old nobleman from Germany, he was now the king of Bulgaria, and the core interests of his branch gradually shifted from Austria-Hungary to Bulgaria. Therefore, no matter how much the Germans die, it has little to do with him!

As for reminding Wilhelm II, or helping Germany strengthen its national power and weaken Britain and France as much as possible with the help of World War I?

That's what an idiot would do!

Anyone who really knows the First World War knows that the Allies did not have a chance to win, but it was only wasted due to a strategic mistake by the Germans!

Even if the strength of the Entente was strengthened by the rise of Bulgaria, if the Germans changed their strategy, adopted the western defense and the eastern attack, and gave priority to dealing with the Russians, it would be a question of whether they could survive two years in their current state!

If the Russians had collapsed earlier, then Bulgaria would have had to take over the burden of the woolly bear and withstand the German offensive. Can Bulgaria accomplish such a difficult task? No one will be able to answer this question!

Anyway, Ferdinand thought that if he faced the main force of the Germans, with the current strength of Bulgaria and the terrain of the Balkans, it would probably be possible to maneuver for a year and a half, but the Germans were not stupid!

Why do people want to fight you in the ravine? Without the Russians, Austria-Hungary would have been enough to contain Bulgaria, and Bulgaria did not have the strength to attack on its own initiative anyway!

Anglo-French PK Germany and Italy, as long as there are no accidents, it is only a matter of time before the French collapse! Without the French, the British might still be able to survive on the straits, and Bulgaria would be ready to be finished!

Oh, and if the world war broke out in 1909, the Russians would have withdrawn from the war at the end of 1910 or the beginning of 1911, the French would have been finished by the end of 1911, and Bulgaria would have been finished in 1912!

As for the Japanese, this plane was pitted by Ferdinand, which slowed down the speed of development! In order to repay its debts, the Japanese government even compressed the "88th Fleet" of the Navy into the "44th Fleet", and the plan was just a plan!

The money of the great powers is not so easy to borrow, if you want to expand the army, you should pay off the debts first! At the very least, settle the interest, or people won't mind taking over your finances!

In order to repay their debts, the Japanese are still struggling, their "service industry" has begun to operate in Europe, and Japanese companies have appeared in Sofia!

Even if they are so frenzied, their current comprehensive national strength is still not even comparable to Bulgaria, don't expect them to do much!

American? By the time they finished mobilizing, the daylilies were cold! The European continent has already been leveled by the Germans, what can they do?

No one could contain the German army, and Ferdinand didn't think that the American GIs could do much!

Of course, that's basically impossible! Because the German government is still confused now, otherwise they would have started the war a long time ago!

After all, the longer the time drags on, the more the strength of the Russians will recover, and when the Germans are ready, the Entente will also be ready!

After all, the Germans were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of resources, and as long as the woolly bear recovered, it would not be so easy to crush!

Nicholas II was also able to fight the defense of St. Petersburg! It's a big deal to retreat all the way, and when you abandon a few big cities, you will find that the position of Nicholas II will become more consolidated!

After all, the capitalists and the revolutionary party were completely dependent on the big cities, and in other remote areas they were the hardcore supporters of the tsarist government!

……

Forget it, it's better not to yy, these are all based on the premise that everyone does not make strategic mistakes, obviously this is impossible!

History proves that in world wars, all countries basically made strategic mistakes, but whether they were fatal or not!

The most typical ones are Mao Xiong and Austria-Hungary, the two great empires were directly played by their own strategies! If Austria-Hungary had taken the initiative to defend, the Russians would not have been able to defeat them so easily!

If the Russians take the initiative to defend, even the Germans will have to catch the blind, the vast territory, and a steady stream of gray cattle, God knows how long it will take to fight before the winner is decided!

After the Russo-Japanese War, it was the weakest period for the Entente, and the Allies had surpassed the Franco-Russian Triple Entente in terms of military strength.

……

Admiral Petrov said cautiously: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, then we must prepare in advance!" Once the war breaks out, we are surrounded by enemies, and the Black Sea is our only communication with the Russians, so it is necessary to keep a fleet in the Black Sea! ”

Ferdinand nodded, the best reason to expand the navy is here!

History has turned a corner, and now the Black Sea Fleet of the Russians is finished, and the tsarist government, limited by financial resources, has no intention of rebuilding it at this time!

If Bulgaria does not want to fight alone, then shipping in the Black Sea must be unblocked, and as for the Bulgarian naval fleet in the Aegean, as long as the Ottomans are not stupid, they will not let it in!

To block the narrow straits, it was nothing more than a matter of a couple of torpedoes, and for the Allies it was not a problem at all! Even the Germans will deploy a couple of submarines in the Black Sea to do things specially!

Before Ferdinand could speak, War Minister Popov preemptively replied: "The Black Sea Fleet must be built, but the navies of Romania and the Ottoman Empire are negligible, and we can't let in the fleets of the Central Powers!"

Therefore, the main opponent of the Black Sea Fleet is the submarine under water, and we only need a few destroyers to suffice! ”

Obviously, Popov saw through Petrov's purpose and directly blocked the way for the construction of the Navy! On the issue of military spending, the struggle between the navy and the army has never stopped!

This is also the result of Ferdinand's deliberate laissez-faire, in addition to balancing the power of the military, the most important thing is that Bulgaria does not have the strength to take care of both sea and land at the same time!

At this time, it is natural that someone needs to charge into battle, whether it is a government dignitary, the navy and the army to tear each other down, it is what Ferdinand needs!

Using the navy to fight the army, using the army to fight the navy, using the cabinet to suppress the military, and using the military to balance the government, it can be said that Ferdinand's hand is very slippery!

Therefore, in Bulgaria, a country where martial arts are prevalent, ******* does not have the ability to interfere with the government, which is completely different from Japan!

There is no doubt that now it is the Bulgarian Army that has the upper hand, and the Great Navy program, neither Ferdinand nor the Bulgarian government, is now of much interest!

Ferdinand smiled and said: "Yes, we should indeed build a Black Sea Fleet, in principle, for the purpose of suppressing the Romanians and the Ottoman Empire, your Admiralty can first draw up a detailed plan and discuss it in detail!" ”

When he said this, Ferdinand wanted to laugh, what the hell is the Romanian navy? The Ottoman Empire didn't have any warships in the Black Sea, and there were still a few sail warships, so they could probably be put in a museum!

From this, it can be imagined how "powerful" the future Black Sea Fleet will be?

A dreadnought, that can't be had! Shore defense battleships? This seems to be too big and too big to use! Probably a cruiser and a destroyer plus a few torpedo boats are almost enough, and the total tonnage is 10,000 or 8,000, and it is estimated that it will be about the same!

The problems of the Navy are over, and the problems of the Army are here again! War Minister Popov has proposed the creation of a rapid reaction force and is ready to use cars as mounts for them!

But it still didn't pass, and the reason is very simple: half a step ahead is a hero, and a step ahead is a hero!

The performance of the car in this era is too pit, the off-road ability is not up to par, if you really equip the troops, you will find that in addition to the main roads in the country can be driven, the mountainous and hilly areas are completely blind!

The most important thing is that the price is too expensive, the cost performance is too low, so low that Bulgaria can't afford it now!

Not only cars, but even motorcycles, are all for the same reason, the performance is not up to par, can not meet the needs of the army, and the cost is high!

In the end, this rapid reaction force was reduced to a bicycle force!

The technology in this area is very mature, and the production cost of bicycles is not high, which is completely within the financial capacity of the Bulgarian government!

Oh, and by the beginning of the 20th century, bicycles were rotten in Bulgaria and became one of the main means of transportation for the working class!

So far, the earliest mechanized troops in Bulgaria have been determined, and they can be regarded as the only cavalry rapid reaction forces!
