On February 8, 1941, the Kingdom of Ireland was established under the auspices of the Holy Alliance, and the eyes of the world were once again turned to the British Isles.

Smart people know that the British are going to be finished this time, and looking at the enthusiasm of the Irish to join the army, you will know that the island of Ireland cannot be defended.

If the island of Ireland is lost, will the British Isles still be able to hold on?

At this moment, even the most confident people in the British Commonwealth do not think that they will be able to turn the tables, the most obvious is that the countries of the Americas have announced their withdrawal from the pan-international front.

No one wants to be on the side of the loser, and if you don't get out of the quagmire quickly, when the post-war reckoning is over, don't think about running away.

The British government has also become pessimistic, with crowds marching in three North American countries blocking traffic, and several British-controlled kingdoms breaking away from the London government.

Even the major Dominions are not so obedient. Needless to say, South Africa is occupied by Bulgaria, and it has nothing to do with London whether it is obedient or not.

The Australian Dominion is busy fighting the Japanese and is already too busy to take care of itself, where is the energy to manage the London government?

The Dominion of New Zealand is busy helping Australia, and they also understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth, so let the problem of the British Isles be put aside!

The Dominions of Canada and Newfoundland still have some room to spare, but they are not willing to wade into the troubled waters of the British Isles at this time.

(Note: The Dominion of Newfoundland was incorporated into Canada in 1949 and covers an area of just over 400,000 square kilometers, including present-day Newfoundland and Labrador.)

People are profit-seeking, doomed to lose wars, and of course no one wants to continue to invest in them. There was no declaration of independence, it was all taking into account the feelings of the people.

At this time, who else can support the British to continue fighting?

"The British Empire will never surrender without shedding the last drop of Indian blood!"

This sentence probably will not appear, now the Indian region is under siege on three sides, and it is not easy to take care of itself, what can you rely on to support the British mainland?

The world war has reached the present, and the total tonnage of ships owned by the British Commonwealth is less than half of the pre-war period, and they cannot do it if they want to draw blood from the outside to nourish the British Isles.

For the lifeline at sea, in just one year, the British paid tens of millions of tons of ships and hundreds of thousands of seafarers' lives.

Of course, this figure also includes the casualties of neutral countries, and the Holy Alliance does not discriminate, but whose ship dares to deliver supplies to the British, will be sunk.

Government of London

Mr. Churchill again gave an inspirational speech, well, it seems that nothing has worked.

No matter what classic quotes he utters, pessimism has permeated the London government by this time.

Moving the capital to North America?

It's a good idea, but if you do it, you'll find it very unrealistic.

If nothing else, government officials and the military are going to be taken away, right? Scientists and engineers are also indispensable, right?

If you want these people to continue to work for the British Commonwealth, then you must take away not only them, but also their families.

Anyone with a little calculation knows that this is impossible to do, and if it were a peacetime British, they might still have this national strength.

Now it is undoubtedly impossible to do it, even if all the ships are assembled for transportation, transporting millions of people at a time, it will have to run back and forth several times.

The Holy Alliance is not blind, and if the air force bombards the port, the loss is thousands. After being bombarded by the air force, it will be surrounded and suppressed by the navy, and it will really be evacuated to North America, and it would be good if there were three or five hundred thousand left.

Can such a small number of people support the next war?

You don't really think that if you move to North America, the Holy Alliance will let them go, right?

If they don't have enough human resources, they will be betrayed if they don't need the Holy Alliance to send troops just to evacuate a government.

They have done this kind of thing a lot, and naturally they will not hope for the discipline of the politicians, and the war has now begun, and the London government has essentially lost control of North America.

It is impossible to surrender, at least one battle must be fought, and the battle must be won, and the arrogant British Empire still has to save face.

……

Sofia

After Ireland's independence, the war against Britain was practically the last blow. At the end of the war, even the Royal Navy, which the British were so proud of, had been suppressed by the Holy Alliance.

These things no longer need to be cared for by the emperor Ferdinand, the younger, and now the most important thing is the question of the post-war international order.

There is no doubt about the disposition of the British, Bulgaria does not want another world war, so it cannot be too harsh.

The colonies are definitely going to be deprived, and everyone is still waiting to share the spoils?

The area of the British Isles is not large, there is no need to continue to weaken, Ireland has become independent, and the remaining Scotland and Wales are still dependent on national self-determination.

Presumably, most of them will remain in Great Britain, these are minor problems, and even the war reparations after the war, Ferdinand Jr. does not value them.

The current system in the countries of continental Europe is very good, although the French seem to be a little stronger, which is a minor problem.

With Spain, Austria-Hungary, West Russia, and the German Confederation in check, even Napoleon's regeneration could not do anything.

Including Bulgaria, there are five large countries and one superpower on the tiny European continent, which is simply too crowded.

This means that the continent's resources have been carved up, and European countries can only look overseas if they want to go further.

Bulgaria took the first step, and its influence has expanded to Asia and Africa, and the French are not to be outdone, basically divided into Africa with Bulgaria.

There are also fragmentary areas, colonies of Portugal, Spain, Belgium.

Expansion on the continent could not continue, and Bulgaria had no interest in marching into India after the occupation of Persia on the island of the world.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of the development of the globalization strategy, we must acquire all the islands of the British overseas!" Admiral Abbott said solemnly

Obviously, the navy is no longer willing to continue to be the little brother of the three armed services, and wants to make a situation in the world.

But they were doomed to disappointment, and not all the islands in the hands of the British were delicious, and many areas were fertile land with large populations.

Bulgaria had little experience in this area, and the more populous the area, the more difficult it was to rule, and the sparsely populated area was preferred.

"General Abbott, do you know how many islands the British have overseas? Do you know more about the islands? Blind external expansion will only increase the burden on the empire! Prime Minister Tolsky objected

Overseas expansion costs money, and as for relying on the colonies to make profits, the conscience of heaven and earth, when did the Bulgarian colonies win?

Since Ferdinand's time, Bulgaria's overseas colonies have been able to break even.

Of course, it's not that these regions can't make a profit, and when the colonies make a profit, they will be turned into local by the central government, so the Bulgarian colonies claim to never make a profit!

It is not easy to develop overseas land, especially the scattered islands, which are basically loss-making goods, and even if they are developed, the cost of governance is very high.

Little Ferdinand smiled slightly: "In this way, first encircle the vast and sparsely populated islands first, as our trophies, plant our national flag, and directly incorporate them into the mainland."

In the future, if there is value, we will develop it, and if there is no value, we will put it, and I believe that there is no idea in the world that dares to hit our homeland!

For example, Baffin Island and Victoria Island, which are vast and sparsely populated, may have a population of less than four figures, so they can set aside a village for self-government or immigration.

In populated areas, we won't interfere, and all of our allies can't be allowed to work in vain, right?

I propose that all islands with a population of more than 100,000 should be comprehensively evaluated, and if it is a vast and sparsely populated area like New Guinea, it can still be taken.

If it is a region like Singapore and Sri Lanka with a large population and a relatively important geographical location, let them be independent! ”

At this time, the Bulgarian government was very confident, and as the number one power in the world, they naturally had to give priority to the spoils of war.

Bulgaria, the fertile and rich land that has been well developed, has given up and chosen some vast and sparsely populated islands, and no one dares to rob them?

Of course, there are really this, for example, the Japanese in the Far East, if they knew about the Bulgarian plan, they would be 10,000 dissatisfied, why should you all be in charge of the places we occupy?

These contradictions are all in the future, and the decision of the Bulgarian government is still a secret, and everyone in the outside world is speculating about which fertile area Bulgaria will value.

……

At this time, Ferdinand was also using his brains, taking the information collected by the intelligence department, combined with the information of his previous life, to stake as much as possible, and even he was hesitating to simply annex Antarctica.

After hesitating for a moment, he still gave up this tempting idea, it was too ugly to eat, and there was no way to develop it in the short term, and it might not have economic value for a hundred years.

On a map of the world, he has already marked quite a few regions, and there is no need to think about the areas that have already been occupied, and no one will be able to make Bulgaria spit out, except for the exchange of benefits.

The mainland region is excluded first, and the areas bordering the mainland have expanded to the limit, and there will be no friends if there are more.

Ottalia can do something, for example, to take Western Australia. It is a vast and sparsely populated area with abundant mineral resources.

It covers an area of 2,525,500 square kilometers, and the population only exceeded 2 million in 2007, and it has not yet been developed, and the population is only 200,000 or 300,000 at most, which is not a problem at all.

Then Ferdinand wrote about New Guinea, which is also sparsely populated and rich in resources, with an area of 785,000 square kilometers and a total area of 818,000 square kilometers of affiliated islands, and a population of just as little as that.

Dominion of British Canada in North America:

Baffin Island, with a total area of 512,000 square kilometers, seems to have reached a historical peak of 11,000 people in 2014.

Victoria Island, with an area of 212,200 square kilometers, is still unknown whether there will be anyone, anyway, after the development of tourism, the island's permanent residents have just reached four figures.

Ellesmere Island, with an area of 200445 square kilometers, probably not yet, anyway, in the 21st century, there are only more than 100 people, most of whom are still scientific researchers.

The island of Newfoundland, with an area of 111,000 square kilometers and a population of about 100,000 or 200,000, is suitable for fishing, and its value is not too high.

Banks Island, with an area of more than 70,000 square kilometers (including affiliated islands), has a total population of 136 announced by the Canadian government in 2016, which is completely negligible.

Devon Island, with an area of 55,000 square kilometers, is known as the "Mars of the Earth", which is naturally an uninhabited island, and normal people can't stand the harsh local climate.

The island of Axelheberg, with an area of 43,178 square kilometers, has no permanent population except for scientific researchers.

Melville Island, an area of 42,149 square kilometers, is an uninhabited island, and before crossing it, he seemed to hear that the state-owned tyrants were going to raise musk cattle, anyway, Canada has land and is capricious, so I just don't develop it.

Southampton Island, with an area of 41,214 square kilometers, has a total population that is not as large as Ferdinand's handmaidens.

Prince of Wales Island, with an area of 33,339 square kilometers, can be regarded as an uninhabited island, anyway, the Canadian self-government announced that: none!

……

Looking at this long list of islands, Ferdinand was dumbfounded, is this a collision with Canada? Why is it all their territory?

Ferdinand was very disciplined, and after hesitating again and again, he crossed out the silent island of Newfoundland, and he couldn't bully people too much, right?

He wouldn't admit that he disliked the fact that Newfoundland was too populated and a little more independent.

Looking at the deleted list, it suddenly becomes much more pleasing to the eye, the hundreds of islands in Canada, the total area is close to 2 million square kilometers, and the total number of permanent residents on the islands is not necessarily 10,000.

Is there such a good place in the world to rule?

You want to be independent, no problem!

Police, send these lunatics to a psychiatric hospital!

Want to demonstrate?

Just make trouble, anyway, it's a big deal, and it won't affect others.

When the national flag is planted, government agencies can be omitted first, and when it is to be developed, it will be set up when it is not too late!

Soon Ferdinand realized that he was overthinking, and many of these islands were still terra nullius, at least in international law.

Perhaps the Bulgarian army occupied these islands, and the self-government of Canada would not know about it, let alone come to protest.

Oh, and now it's a belligerent, there is no talk of protest.

Picking up the pen, Ferdinand added it to the scratch paper, and after a few moments of brushing, he came up with a staggering number.

After the war, Bulgaria will acquire these areas, with a total land area of more than 30 million square kilometers and a total population of less than 100 million.

The African continent alone is more than 18 million square kilometers, including the Balkans, Ukraine, the Caucasus, Persia, Asia Minor, and the Arabian Peninsula, which is about 7.58 million square kilometers.

Now that Ferdinand has inadvertently broken through another 6 million square kilometers on paper, the actual post-war gains may be even greater.

After all, there are many small islands that Ferdinand did not count, such as: the Pacific Islands, the subsidiary islands of Oceania, these Bulgaria is indispensable to share.

Coupled with the colonies in Southeast Asia, the land area of Bulgaria will theoretically exceed at least 32 million square kilometers.

Well, it's a drop in the bucket compared to the British Empire at its peak.

In terms of affluence, it is even more incomparable. In addition to the developed territory, only South Africa has taken the shot, and the rest of the region is poor and remote.

In particular, the land enclosed by Ferdinand himself, on more than 6 million square kilometers, has a total population of less than 2 million.

When the addition is done, it's time to do the subtraction.

Desert or semi-desert areas, let's count 13 million square kilometers, this number should be very close, the Middle East theater is almost all deserts, there are many deserts in Africa, and Western Europe is still dominated by deserts.

The North American islands are vast and sparsely populated, and in addition to Canada's sparse population and inability to develop, the harsh natural environment of the icy and snowy land is also an important factor, and these two million square kilometers can also be deducted.

Jungle areas that are difficult to develop and have poor natural conditions are also deducted, which Ferdinand estimates will reduce by another three to four million square kilometers.

In this way, the areas that actually need to be truly ruled by Bulgaria have been folded, and Ferdinand can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it won't choke to death!

The collapse of the colonial system is a matter of time, and the more densely populated the area, the sooner it will collapse, and there is also his pot in this.

In order to combat the British, Bulgaria has not exported less revolution in recent years, and regardless of the effect, the revolutionary ideas have spread anyway.
