Time flies by and in a flash it is September, when it is already autumn in Sofia, and the harvest season is always a joy.

For Bulgarians, September 1930 was a different month, with Ferdinand's enthronement on 12 September.

The empire naturally began around the emperor, and the symbol of the establishment of the Bulgarian Empire was Ferdinand's enthronement ceremony.

Before ascending the throne, Ferdinand also issued an order that shocked the world, turning the colonies into provinces, and Bulgaria was to incorporate all the colonies into its own territory.

If in normal times, this topic might cause a sensation, and now forget about it. When the economic crisis broke out, everyone was too busy to take care of themselves, sighed a couple of sentences and then it was over.

Even the establishment of the Bulgarian Empire was suppressed by the economic crisis, and everyone was struggling for firewood, rice, oil and salt, and there was really no energy to worry about the world.

"Your Majesty, the division of provinces has been completed, and the whole country has been divided into fifty-three provinces, of which thirteen are in the Balkans; Asia Minor and the Middle East, with twenty-four provinces; a province in Southeast Asia; The remaining continent has fifteen provinces.

However, the rule of the African colonies was still problematic, and we only controlled the cities, and some of the plains, and the jungle was still the base camp of the indigenous people.

There are still certain difficulties in the implementation of the provincial system in the local area, and for a long time to come, it will be more appropriate to manage the military! Prime Minister Konstantin said

"It's true that the provincial system is only suitable for the areas that we have developed, and we cannot develop the African continent in the short term, so naturally we cannot copy it in a rigid way.

Let's continue to manage the military, when will the place be cleared, and then consider the matter of converting the military to the people, now let's change the name first! Ferdinand said calmly

In Bulgaria, the civilian-military boundaries were not so obvious, and colonial governors were usually filled with military positions, and now it is not a big deal to hang a civilian position.

In these years, civil officials really can't play in the colonies, especially in the face of the indigenous tribes of the Stone Age, there is no way to reason, so they have to talk about fists.

According to Ferdinand's style, whoever the Virgin sends to the tribes of Africa to educate sentient beings, so far there are no successful examples, and less than one-tenth of them can retreat in their entirety.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Konstantin replied

The most important thing now is Ferdinand's enthronement ceremony, and the African colonies can only be regarded as a small episode, even if they become native, the local natives will not be able to obtain nationality.

There is no need to play tricks, just the language test, cultural test, and contribution assessment, they will not be able to pass, unless they take the special talent channel.

It's a pity, not to mention that in this era, even in the 21st century, there are not a few scientists emerging from Africa, but a lot of athletes.

For a country like Bulgaria, where all the people are soldiers, it has long been a system of its own, and the long-term military training and national physical fitness have always been leveraged, and Ferdinand didn't even bother to hold the Olympics, let alone introduce Shenma athletes.

You can't break the existing system and abolish the current military service system for the sake of so-called reputation, right? Ferdinand has no interest in abandoning his martial arts!

Even in peacetime, the military service system in Bulgaria is very necessary, at least everyone's health is good, and this benefit is worth preserving forever.

"How's little Ferdinand's reception going?" Ferdinand asked, after a moment's thought

The dignitaries of various countries, that is the government is responsible for the reception, Ferdinand does not have to worry, the remaining representatives of the great nobles, this is the royal family to come forward to receive.

Now in the Bulgarian royal family, little Ferdinand is the only one to choose, can't let Ferdinand go to greet him, right?

"Father, don't worry, for this ceremony, we have also established two big hotels in Sofia, and there will be no chaos!" Ferdinand Jr. assured

Ferdinand nodded in approval, the reception work is very cumbersome, and there are strict hierarchical differences between nobles, and who is placed in which position must be considered in advance.

If, two feuding families were arranged together, and there was a duel on the day of the enthronement ceremony, wouldn't the Bulgarian royal family lose a lot of money?

The older he gets, the more Ferdinand cares about these things, and who doesn't want to leave a good name?

……

On September 12, 1930, the noisy enthronement ceremony began.

As the founding emperor, the ceremony was extraordinarily grand, and Ferdinand was like a puppet, led away, and the cumbersome rituals were dizzy.

He also had to smile all the time, there were thousands of cameras on the scene, shooting this precious image, every corner of the sky and the earth, was within the photographer's range.

In this era, you can't P pictures, and what you shoot is what it looks like. At the end of the day, Ferdinand was almost cramping with laughter.

The standard of the ceremony was completely unprecedented, and sixteen kings appeared on the scene, who came to congratulate in person, representatives of the royal families of various countries gathered, and important members of the main European nobles attended.

Of course, this is not surprising, as among the sixteen kings were his five sons, three nephews, and three grandnephews, plus the three royal families raised by Bulgaria, as well as the Queen of the Netherlands and the King of Belarus, the younger brother of Xenia.

It's all their own people, and obviously few people really want Ferdinand to be crowned, and even if Ferdinand has been working hard for decades, they only pay lip service to it.

If you want people to come over to congratulate, don't dream, if it weren't for Ferdinand's favors, it is estimated that these nephews and grandnephews may not come over.

I didn't see that Nicholas II and George V were all feeling unwell, and the rest were even more ruthless, they caught a cold as early as the beginning of the year, and they have not been well until now.

Well, pretending to be sick is still counted as saving face, people didn't say that there was no time for something, and it was perfunctory, and Ferdinand was acceptable.

There is no way to force this kind of thing, unless it is the Greek kingdom, which begs for a living under the wing of Bulgaria, and will not be put in small shoes.

Or the king of Belarus, who was returned from Finland to Xenia and directly captured the strong man, originally Nicholas II was also targeted, but unfortunately Nicholas II was too shrewd and went to the countryside to "recuperate".

The Queen of the Netherlands was willing to come, because her daughter was married to Ferdinand Jr., and she was also a vested interest. The other in-laws did not have such a great benefit, so they decisively fell ill.

It's not just that Ferdinand is tired, but little Ferdinand is even more miserable, he has to receive so many people, and his saliva is dry, if it weren't for the younger brothers who came out to help, I don't know if I can still stand here now.

"Well, little Ferdinand, didn't you say there was no problem?" Ferdinand gloated

Of course, he can't laugh anymore, he has used up his smiling face today, and he won't want to laugh for a long time in the future.

"Father, this is really beyond my expectations, I didn't expect them to be so verbose, I've been tossed for five days, I feel terrible when I think about it!" Ferdinand Jr. complained

"Let's take a rest first, there will be a drinking party in the evening, you still can't run away! Don't watch the excitement of the few of you, let's participate in the reception work later! Ferdinand thought for a moment and said

"Father, we're guests too!" Caesar was taken aback

"Do you want me to receive them together?"

Looking at the murderous eyes of little Ferdinand, Caesar was immediately intimidated. If you want to be a "guest" in Bulgaria, it is estimated that there is no hope for him in this life, so he should be a coolie obediently!

Looking at poor Caesar, Xenia came out to help him out of the siege.

"Well, you are all kings, and you are still so skinny, and you are not afraid of being laughed at!

Go ahead and prepare, wait a while, if anyone embarrasses me, I will make him doubt life when I turn back! Xenia joked
