On April 18, 1926, after a half-month debate, the British Parliament finally passed a resolution to fight in Persia and Afghanistan.

In this respect, Churchill has contributed a great deal, and if he had not persuaded the MPs with his incorruptible tongue, perhaps two or three years of controversy would not have yielded results.

Beginning in 1923, anti-war sentiment began to erupt in Britain, and by 1926 it had reached its peak, with the public opposing all foreign military action.

Fortunately, the opponent this time was at least two small countries, and the people did not pay attention to it, so they were able to pass the resolution so smoothly.

Of course, in terms of territorial area, Persia is really not small at all, and the area of the Pahlavi dynasty is larger than the five British islands combined.

However, in terms of strength, they are a completely small country, and as a semi-colonial country, what strength can they speak of?

Everyone knew that it was only an insignificant local war, and even said that if Bulgaria existed, the British Empire would only need a military threat to force the Pahlavi dynasty to compromise.

Now Ferdinand intended to turn the war into a quagmire that dragged the British down, and on May 1, 1926, the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry protested to the Pahlavi dynasty and demanded that they hand over the Bulgarian criminals they had harbored.

Of course, the Pahlavi dynasty could not be handed over, from 1918 to the present, there are 80,000 criminals who have fled from Bulgaria to the Persian region, if not 100,000, how to find them in this era?

If you can't hand over people, the Pahlavi dynasty will be in big trouble. The Bulgarians, who had been prepared, came up with evidence that almost every year, from the beginning of 1918 to the present, terrorists from Persia have gone to the Iraqi region to cause chaos.

The Bulgarian government has reason to believe that this is a terrorist activity supported by the Pahlavi dynasty behind the scenes, and ordered the Pahlavi dynasty to hand over all participants within 24 hours, otherwise they will bear the consequences.

On the same day, the British Viceroy in India also issued a note to the Pahlavi dynasty asking them to thoroughly investigate anti-British activities, arrest all anti-British personnel, and hand them over to the British within 24 hours, otherwise prepare for war!

The Pahlavi dynasty said that they were wronged, and that these things had nothing to do with them, knowing that they had just overthrown the old king in 1925 and established a new regime.

What started in 1918, how can it be related to them? Even if there were people who supported terrorist activities, it was impossible for the government to participate, and the previous government, which was already cowardly, could not have taken the initiative to provoke Bulgaria?

Not to mention the government, even non-governmental organizations dare to participate in the planning of terrorist acts, and those who are involved in these things will have long since grown grass on their graves.

Bulgaria's strength in the Persian region is not small, even if it is an anti-Bulgarian element, the highest pursuit is to expel the Bulgarian power, but no one is arrogant enough to counterattack Bulgaria!

What the hell is this engaged in anti-British activities, although they do think in their hearts, is it not too late to carry it out?

At most, a few young students shouted slogans, but there were no concrete actions. They have just gained power, and it is too late for them to fight among themselves, so how can they have the heart to do things!

In the age of imperialism, the truth doesn't matter, as long as the great powers think they did it, that's what they did!

The Pahlavi dynasty knew that it was in trouble, and the only consolation was that Afghanistan next door was enjoying the same treatment, so that they had an ally to share the pressure.

It's a pity that this is destined to not change the result, no one thinks that the Pahlavi dynasty will be able to resist the northern and southern attacks of the British and Bulgarians, unless they can open the protagonist's aura and be immune to all attacks, otherwise they will be ready to be finished!

Not to mention them, no country in the world can confront Britain and Bulgaria at the same time, so as soon as the war began, the result was already doomed.

On May 3, 1926, the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, under the name of the Pahlavi dynasty, engaged in activities to support the secession of Bulgarian territory, officially declared war on the Pahlavi dynasty.

On the same day, the British Empire also declared war on the Pahlavi dynasty for its anti-British activities, and the Middle East War broke out.

As the protagonist of the war, the Pahlavi dynasty is undoubtedly tragic, this time it is really not that our army does not work hard, it is really that the enemy is too powerful.

Less than a month into the war, the Bulgarian army was slaughtered outside Tehran, showing the world what real power is!

The Bulgarian government did not mobilize at home at all, and the Middle East theater took care of it by itself, sending a total of three main divisions, plus two local militia divisions, to form a force of 80,000 people.

Don't there are not many troops in this force, as soon as the war broke out, the Pahlavi dynasty was blinded, hundreds of planes roared from the sky, armored vehicles and tanks on the ground advanced directly. Let them understand once what modern warfare is.

The result is naturally self-evident, and the army of the Pahlavi dynasty, which did not even have a complete rifle, was naturally crushed at the first touch.

Not to mention now, even if it was not the same in 1930, it was beaten all over the ground by tens of thousands of British troops, and finally fell into a protectorate.

Compared with the smooth progress of the armed march in Bulgaria, the performance of the British was much worse, and the combat effectiveness displayed by the temporary conscription of Indian colonial divisions was also in line with their status.

When the Bulgarians conquered Tehran, they were still in the province of Stan-Baluchistan.

There is nothing strange about this, as the so-called cheap is not good, and good is not cheap. Since the British have chosen cheap goods, they naturally cannot count on this combat effectiveness.

As a colonial army, their equipment is still stuck before the First World War, and the aircraft and tanks are too luxurious, as long as they can machine guns and artillery, anyway, the enemy's equipment is even worse.

This is also because the British are too arrogant, they actually provoked the Persian War and the Afghan War at the same time, if they put all 300,000 troops into the Persian War, now they will not say that the momentum is like a bamboo, how can they hit Kerman.

Originally, it was good to take 54 degrees east longitude as the dividing line, and the two sides divided the Persian region equally, but now since the British behaved so unqualified, it is no wonder that Ferdinanand took the more.

Anyway, the central region is a buffer zone between the two sides, and there is no clear division of spheres of influence.

This is also to pick up a bargain, the Pahlavi dynasty is a new dynasty that has just abolished the original king and established a new dynasty, and there are still a lot of things in the country that have not been sorted out, and the new royal faction and the old royal faction are still struggling, and they do not even have the ability to carry out national mobilization.

"Your Majesty, the British have sent us a diplomatic note protesting against our failure to comply with the Draft Partition of the Persian Territories!" Mejev said

"Did we break the rules, how did I not know?" Ferdinand asked in surprise

"Your Majesty, we have not violated the rules, as allies, the British Empire is now unable to solve the rebellion in Persia, and we must do our duty as allies to help them!" Mejev replied solemnly

"Well, just reply to the British, we will abide by the treaty we signed at the beginning, urge them to end the war quickly, long-term wars are the biggest enemy of world peace!" Ferdinand said righteously

"Yes!" Metyev replied

"Order the Middle East Theater Command, now it is as much as it can occupy, after this village, there will be no such shop!" Ferdinand added

The war broke out very suddenly, and the British did not have time to buy the enemy army, and if they were given a few years, with the influence of the British in Persia, it was estimated that the direct defection of the troops would be one by one.

"Yes!" The Chief of the General Staff replied

This war is really not worth mentioning, the strength of both sides is not on the same level at all, end this war as soon as possible, and then watch the British jump into the pit of Afghanistan is the king!

Now the British can't get out if they want to, and once they give up the Afghan region, Bulgaria's influence will extend into it, threatening their precious India.

Based on the performance of the Bulgarian army on the Persian battlefield, the London government did not dare to bet that Bulgaria would not be able to take Afghanistan, and for the sake of India's security, they had to bite the bullet.

Ferdinand's demands were not high, and it would be enough to reproduce the results of the Anglo-Boer war.

Presumably, after this battle, the anti-war forces in Britain will grow further, and then they will never be able to pull it back.

A world hegemon who is afraid of war will no longer be a threat, and digging a few more pits for them to jump will almost expose their weak nature.

That's right, from the beginning to the end, Ferdinand never thought of going head-to-head with the British Empire, for very simple reasons: Bulgaria's means of pulling allies will definitely not catch up with the British.

This is determined by geographical location, many countries dare to offend Bulgaria, that is because everyone is far away, they can ignore Bulgaria's retaliation.

Not in the face of the British, naval bases all over the world will be hit as soon as they are opposed, and it is simply self-evident who to choose in the face of reality.

Geographically, what are the allies who might support Bulgaria? It is nothing more than Austria-Hungary and the Russian Empire, and at most it can also co-opt Italy, which is determined by geopolitics.

And they were all forcibly tied to the chariot, everyone was too close, they had no choice!

On the other hand, there were too many potential allies of the British, and Ferdinand could not compare with them in this regard.

This is premised on the fact that the British Empire has always been so strong that once their weak nature is exposed, these allies will become their enemies.

This was Ferdinand's consistent strategy, which was to gradually break up the enemy's allies, isolate them, and then draw them in to fight the enemy.

Judging by the trajectory of Bulgaria's rise, at any time they have no shortage of allies and have never been isolated by the international community!

When dealing with Serbia, the Russian Empire was an ally of Bulgaria, and Austria-Hungary was also lured into becoming a potential ally in the dark, and then Serbia was tragically divided between Bulgaria and Austria-Hungary.

Against the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Empire was an ally of Bulgaria, the Balkan Union was an ally of Bulgaria, and Austria-Hungary was also a potential ally.

In the First Balkan War, the Ottoman Empire fell to the blood mold and was besieged and killed by the Balkan League.

During the Second Balkan War, Ferdinand also pitted the Ottoman Empire first, making them public enemies.

Then he hugged the thighs of the Entente, and then lured the potential enemy of the Balkan League into the pit, and then the war pushed them into the great pit of the Allied powers.

As soon as the world war broke out, Ferdinand crucified Italy, a potential enemy, on the chariot of the Central Powers, and when the world war ended, all the enemies around Bulgaria disappeared.

Even his teammates were wounded, lost the strength to threaten Bulgaria, and turned from a potential enemy into a real ally.

Then the British, French and Bulgarian stood together again, dominating Paris and the world.

Taking advantage of the Anglo-American struggle for world hegemony, he was behind the scenes, using the pandemic as an excuse to make the Americans the target of public criticism.

Then he cheered up the British, gave them courage, and led the world coalition to overthrow the United States, the greatest threat, and before everyone could react, Bulgaria was again iodined.

In the midst of a series of chaos, Bulgaria has gained enough benefits, and at the same time it is still hidden in the shadows, and the interests that have not been exposed will not become the target of public criticism!

Now only the last enemy remains, and as long as the British Empire collapses or declines, then there is no enemy who can threaten Bulgaria.

Even the current British Empire threatens Bulgaria very limited, unless they can build another army that is the best in the world!

It's a pity that the layout of this series is basically a conspiracy, and on the surface, I really can't see Ferdinand's sinister intentions, or some smart people can see it, and they still choose to jump into the pit in the face of interests!

Theoretically, as long as the strength of the British Empire is enough, the pit dug by Ferdinand can only make them a wedding dress, so that the position of the world hegemon of the British Empire will become more consolidated!

The British of this era are full of self-confidence, they don't think that a single Afghanistan can cause them much trouble, they only see the huge benefits that can be brought by mastering the center of Eurasia!

"Your Majesty, are we really going to fight the British for Afghanistan?" Metev asked with some hesitation

"Of course not, I'm just trying to put pressure on the British to make a look of what they want to do in Afghanistan and make them impatient! As long as people are in a hurry, it is easy to make wrong judgments!

War is the easiest drain on national power, and when the London government makes the wrong decision, their war machine cannot be stopped.

If they can't defeat Afghanistan, then the world hegemony of the British Empire will be shaky!

Don't you think it's a game of chess, and it's fun to play?

Whatever the final outcome, the British's energy has been held back in Afghanistan for a short time, and we can have another period of stable development! Ferdinand asked

"Your Majesty, all this is based on the premise that Afghanistan has the strength to resist the British invasion, at least they must be able to withstand the first wave of British attacks, otherwise our hard work will be in vain!" Metev said with a frown

"Yes, but what are we really giving? Except for an armed parade, we didn't actually put too many resources into it, and it didn't matter if we lost it! Ferdinand said calmly

For Ferdinand's perseverance in digging holes, everyone can only admire the five-body throw.

Digging holes all the way, by now the British have actually reached the most dangerous moment, and under the cover of superficial prosperity, the British know nothing about it!

The three North American countries had just joined the British Commonwealth, lacking sufficient national centripetal force, and when the British Empire was strong, they were members of the British Commonwealth, and once the British Empire declined, they would inevitably move towards independence.

In all three kingdoms, less than 10 percent of English descent are not even comparable to the number of Irish descendants, so don't expect them to have much of a centripetal force on the British Empire.

The native Irish, crying and clamoring for independence, was only temporarily suppressed, and only a fuse was needed for the outbreak.

The vast colonies, with the spread of revolutionary ideas, there are not too many people who want to rebel against the British Empire, they are waiting for a suitable opportunity.

In this context, the London government has lost its military morale, and once something happens, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to expect the British Army to turn things around!

Coupled with the deep popularity of anti-war ideology, the enthusiasm of the British people to join the army has dropped to an all-time low.

The Royal Navy is still invincible in the world, and you can't expect warships to go on land to suppress the uprising, right?

Now what Bulgaria has to do is to detonate these contradictions, and the war in Afghanistan is only one of them, and there are many more explosives packages that Ferdinand planted for the British!
