Well, all the words have been said by Ferdinand, and everyone just needs to decide whether to do it or not!

In fact, the Bulgarian government has no choice between the two paths in front of it.

There is no free lunch in the world, and if you want to reap the benefits, how can you not pay the price?

The Russians have been fighting with the Turks for the Bosphorus for more than 200 years, and now they will support Bulgaria for Constantinople in vain, don't dream!

Ferdinand's strategy never hit Constantinople's mind. Who is called the Bosphorus, the lifeblood of the Russians into the Mediterranean?

To master Constantinople was to master the Bosphorus and, of course, the Dardanelles, which was also the main route for the Russians to enter the Mediterranean.

Now the aim of the Russians is obvious, to seize the Black Sea straits and control the Sea of Marmara while Britain is busy fighting with the Germans for South Africa and the French for North Africa.

Once this strategic goal is accomplished, the Russians will be invincible in the Mediterranean Sea: they can attack and retreat, and they will be invincible!

Now if Bulgaria rejects the proposal of the Russians, it is tantamount to interrupting the Mediterranean strategy of the Russians, and the outcome is self-evident!

In the same way, the Mediterranean strategy of the Russians was in the interests of the French. Only when the Russians enter the Mediterranean will they not concentrate on the Far Eastern strategy, or even abandon it, which will help to relieve the pressure on France on the European continent!

Bulgaria now has no choice, a plough, a harvest!

In Ferdinand's opinion, the Russians did a decent job this time, although the price paid by Bulgaria this time was huge, but the benefits given were also huge!

Even if it is generous, Bulgaria can still get more than 100,000 square kilometers of land, including Istanbul, Macedonia, Eastern Thrace, Albania, etc.!

In his opinion, all this can be compromised, anyway, after the world war, these rights will return to Bulgaria, and it is completely acceptable to exchange temporary compromises for Bulgaria's strengthening!

After a long silence, Prime Minister Konstantin sighed and said, "Everyone, we don't have a choice now!" By agreeing to the conditions of the Russians, Great Bulgaria is basically completed, and the dreams of generations are barely fulfilled in our hands!

As for the future, we can only take one step at a time. As long as Bulgaria is strong enough, all this is not a problem! ”

It is clear that Prime Minister Konstantin is sensible, not carried away by anger and knows what is best in the interests of Bulgaria!

The conditions of the Russians are just a little stuck. It would be more appropriate for the Bulgarian Navy to call the Coast Guard, and it would be a complete joke for them to master the Sea of Marmara!

In this case, it is better to leave it to the Russians, after all, if the Ottoman Empire were to cut off the connection between Europe and Asia, Bulgaria's chances of victory would increase considerably.

As for the military ports on the territory in the future, they will be controlled by the Russians, it doesn't matter, anyway, it is still the territory of the Turks, and no matter how much interests are sold, everyone will not feel the pain.

This is equivalent to Bulgaria sending out the army, and the Russians sending the navy to jointly attack the Ottoman Empire, and everyone will share the spoils, and everyone will not have to worry about being infamous as a traitor!

Foreign Minister Metev also spoke: "The current international situation is very beneficial to us. The British were bound to win South Africa, and the Germans were not willing to let go, and by supporting the Boers and the British to fight in South Africa, and gaining the support of the European community, they would not be able to distinguish the winner in a short time!

At the same time, because of the Egyptian problem, the British and the Turks were at odds, and aside from the Russian Empire, they wished that we could weaken the Ottoman Empire in order to protect their interests in Egypt.

Austria-Hungary had long had plans for the Balkans, and they wanted to annex Bosnia and Herzegovina, which had not been realized until then due to strong resistance from the Turks, as well as opposition from the Russians.

Oh, and now we have to add Serbia, and we can cooperate in this, and presumably the Russians will be willing to make this deal with them!

As for the other powers, they have limited power in the Balkans and are not in a position to interfere with our actions!

Moreover, now is the time when the Turks are at their weakest, and the country is in a mess, and the endless national uprisings are exhausting the last vestiges of this old empire! ”

Ferdinand was stunned for a moment, not expecting that the foreign secretary, who was usually inconspicuous, was still a complete hawk, and now he was starting to encourage everyone to do it.

And his proposal was exactly what Ferdinand needed now. He succeeded in diverting everyone's attention, and now many people are excited.

Of course, Ferdinand also knew that this was based on the premise that it did not harm Bulgaria's core interests. Now is the time when nationalism is on the rise in Bulgaria, and everyone is inevitably affected and values the national interest.

Still, Ferdinand interrupted the unrealistic delusions.

"Alright, let's take our minds back! We are not ready at all, weapons and ammunition are still a pile of raw materials now. No matter how good the opportunity is, it is impossible for us to follow the example of the Serbs and let the soldiers go directly to the battlefield with a pile of broken copper and iron! ”

With Serbia as a negative textbook, Bulgaria is no longer in vogue about the "courage to win". After all, the Serbian soldiers were really heroic, but on the battlefield, they were not defeated by the Bulgarian army!

Everyone secretly sighed that they had missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Ferdinand disagreed, the internal contradictions in the Ottoman Empire have been around for a long time, how can it be cleared up in a while.

The international situation does not change in a day or two. South Africa is so valuable that it makes all Europe jealous, and Britain intends to kick out the Germans and not block them, is that still Wilhelm II?

Even if the British were able to settle the Germans at a great cost, then the French, the Spaniards, the Dutch...... This? You can't settle it all, can you? As long as there is the support of the Great Powers, the Boers will not be so easy to handle!

Isn't it just three years in history? This was based on the premise that the British leveled the Germans, co-opted the Portuguese, and, incidentally, pitted the Spaniards in the Spanish-American War and gained the support of the Americans.

Now? The Americans were still in the vanguard of the anti-British movement, and they did not have the courage to do so, but they sent volunteers to help the Boers with their own dry rations.

Oh, historically, the U.S. government supported the British, but the people still donated money and materials, organized volunteers, and went to the British.
