It was an open secret that Ferdinand wanted to turn the Kingdom of Bulgaria into the Bulgarian Empire, and people all over the world were wondering when the nascent empire would be built.

No one doubted that his generation would not have been able to establish the Bulgarian Empire. Of course, whether it can be recognized by the outside world is another matter.

Historically, Bulgaria has also established an empire, but it is only a regional hegemon in the Balkans, and it is not widely recognized.

This was very bad news for Ferdinand. If one is not good, he will become the heir of this Bulgarian Empire, and then the Third Bulgarian Reich will be established, and then it will be a shame.

How to say that he is also the greatest monarch in the history of Bulgaria, if he inherits the crown of the Roman Empire, then it is enough, a regional crown, Ferdinand does not want.

He doesn't want a name, if it's just a name, how much is the difference between a king and an emperor?

His real aim was to determine the legitimacy of Bulgaria for all its present territories, and at this point Ferdinand could only start all over again.

No matter how thick-skinned he is, no matter how much he goes to archaeology, it is impossible to find the legitimacy of Bulgaria's land in Africa, and it has nothing to do with the Middle East.

Since this legal basis has not worked since ancient times, Ferdinand can only establish a new legal basis.

That is the actual occupation, as long as the people of these lands are Bulgarians, then Bulgaria can also have legitimate sovereignty over these areas!

Again, the banner of the Bulgarian Empire must be established first, otherwise there were four or five small states in the Balkans alone, and there was no way to solve these problems left over from history.

Just because these small countries have been annexed by Bulgaria doesn't mean that these regions can't become independent. If you look at other regions, not to mention, they used to be a lot of small countries.

Maybe one day, someone will wear the vest of these countries and want to make an independent scene!

In order to prevent this from happening, it is very important to legally own the sovereignty of these lands.

As long as sovereignty is in hand, a strict law can be enacted to prevent trouble, and if anyone dares to make trouble for independence in the future, it is better to directly use the law to kill them.

So where does this legitimate sovereignty come from?

The answer is obvious: the Bulgarian Empire!

And it can only be the Bulgarian Empire, not the Bulgarian Federal Empire, there is no possibility of any withdrawal!

"Prime Minister, are you ready?" Ferdinand asked

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that all preparations are in order, for we are in a time of economic crisis, and the countries are too busy to take care of themselves, and they are not in a position to cause us trouble.

The Canal to the Gulf of Aqaba is open at any time, and the British, even if they do not want to recognize us, have no way to take substantive measures.

Other countries are not worried, at this time it is estimated that most of them will choose to acquiesce, as long as they are not explicitly opposed, we have a way to make them admit it in the future!

There are no less than 20 countries that have already made it clear that they support us, and in the next few months, we will make another diplomatic effort and win over some more countries to recognize it! Prime Minister Konstantin said with confidence

His faith is built on strength. The establishment of the Bulgarian Empire will not have an impact on most countries, and there is no conflict of interest, so they will naturally not jump out against it.

Bulgaria is not a soft persimmon, offending them on this issue will definitely take revenge afterwards, and few countries are willing to become enemies with Bulgaria for no reason, that means disaster.

"Then let's announce the news, anyway, everyone almost already knows! Whether it's friend or foe, you'll know it in September! Ferdinand said indifferently

Anyway, the land that Bulgaria should take has already been obtained, and the establishment of an empire at this time is only to declare sovereignty, and there is no need to grab land with others, so there is no need to keep it secret.

Ferdinand didn't bother to participate in specific things, and it would be a headache to prepare for any ceremony, let alone the emperor's enthronement ceremony?

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Konstantin replied excitedly

Being able to build an empire is a temptation for anyone, and Konstantin is no exception.

Once the Bulgarian Empire was established, he was the greatest prime minister of the twentieth century, and that "one" could be removed.

"Little Ferdinand's rest, it's up to you, now it's time to test you!" Ferdinand patted his son on the shoulder and said

"Father, don't worry, I will take care of these things!" Little Ferdinand said seriously

After receiving the invitation from the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry, Prime Minister MacDonald's face was ugly, and the Bulgarian Empire was about to be born.

How could he, as the biggest competitor, not know about the Bulgarian threat?

Now that the British Empire is too busy to take care of itself, where will it have the energy to go to Bulgaria for trouble?

Even if he wants to find trouble, he doesn't know what he can do, it is impossible to fight, the British Empire in this year is a pacifist, no one wants to fight!

Besides, it's still a war with Bulgaria, although the two sides are the biggest competitors, but everyone is not a mortal enemy?

Without sufficient benefits, even if there is no amount of pretext for war, it is useless, and the congressional lords will not agree to any military action.

At this time, you can't yell twice, right?

In addition to disgusting people, it also has a fart effect!

In that case, simply act as if nothing happened. Anyway, what Bulgaria wants is just a name, and it can't increase its strength, and it won't affect the world hegemony of the British Empire, MacDonald comforted himself.

Nicholas II looked at the invitation, speechless for a long time, no one knew what he was thinking, in short, His Majesty the Tsar was not in a good mood!

Paris

Well, they really don't have time to pay attention to Bulgaria's affairs, Mr. Prime Minister is already three up and three down, maybe when he will step down again.

No way, this is the characteristic of France, a no-confidence motion in the parliament can get the cabinet out, and then when the re-election comes, they will be re-elected.

The French are so willful!

If it cannot be elected, it is estimated that with the frequency of the fall of the French government, even the cabinet members will not be able to get together, and on average they will come two or three times a year, even if it is enough for each political party to take one round.

It's been tossed like this every year, and when the frequency is the highest, three or four governments can be replaced in a month, and the shortest term of office is less than 48 hours, where are so many politicians to make up for it?

With both elections and economic crises to deal with, who cares if Bulgaria builds an empire or not?

Lisbon

……

Some people are for it, some are against, some people don't care, this is the attitude of the outside world towards the establishment of the Bulgarian Empire.

To the relief of Ferdinand Jr., who presided over the work, no one had stood up against the establishment of the Bulgarian Empire, nor had anyone come forward to question the legitimacy of the Bulgarian Empire.

Of course, this no one means that there are no big names, and the supporters and opponents in the newspapers have long been arguing, and there are all kinds of strange claims.

However, these were ignored by little Ferdinand, in addition to stepping up public relations to suppress these voices, he didn't even bother to do revenge work, not everyone is qualified, and he is worried about it.

At this time, the advantage of large numbers was manifested, and the voices of the international community openly expressing support for the establishment of the Bulgarian Empire sounded, overpowering these discordant voices.

More than 30 countries around the world, including Austria-Hungary, Germany, Italy, Western Russia, and Eastern Russia, publicly expressed their support for the establishment of the Bulgarian Empire, and then a large number of European nobles also stood up to express their support.

Little Ferdinand deeply realized that Ferdinand's intention to let him have more children was just by looking at the political benefits brought by their six brothers.

Five younger brothers are five votes, and the big nobles who are married together can pull a few votes, and there are ten votes within the family, which adds up to more than twenty votes.

When it comes to national interests, it may not be able to get everyone's support, but on the premise that it does not involve interests, everyone is still willing to sell personal favors.

No matter what they thought in their hearts, everyone still stood up to help wave the flag and shout, and that was enough.

The most feared thing about the establishment of the Bulgarian Empire is that it did not recognize its legitimacy, and now the great European nobles have basically expressed their support, and three-quarters of the countries in the world have openly recognized the upcoming Bulgarian Empire.

The rest of the countries will not last long, such as the British Empire, and now Prime Minister MacDonald is hesitating to recognize the legitimacy of the Bulgarian Empire.

The British royal family has not yet expressed its position, but the three sons of George V in North America have stood up to support it, and everyone knows their attitude, but it is difficult to speak out because of political factors.

There is nothing surprising about this, it is all due to profit. Perhaps in their hearts they were still opposed to the establishment of the Bulgarian Empire, and no one wanted an additional emperor.

However, out of the needs of practical interests, they have all chosen to compromise, and it is easy to stand up and express opposition now, but it will be a big trouble in the future.

It seems that Ferdinand really wanted to be the emperor, and most of the people of the world supported him as emperor, according to everyone, it was God's will.

In fact, it was only the Bulgarian people who really supported him as emperor, and the rest were his sons.

Most of the others are exchanged for interests, and there is no way to be forced by everyone's friendship, and some of them are threatened.

Prime Minister Konstantin has let it go, and whoever dares to do something on this issue is Bulgaria's undying enemy!

Who will have enough to eat and hold on, and in the absence of a conflict of interest, will have to fight Bulgaria to the end?
