Compared with the clear strategic goals of the Entente, the strategy of the Allies is a little embarrassing!

The Germans, as the boss, are still confused, regard the biggest enemy as the French, and are ready to overthrow France again in order to dominate the European continent!

And the remaining two younger brothers are still pinching each other, and the Italians are still eyeing the territory of Austria-Hungary, and despite the efforts of the Germans to reconcile in the middle, this contradiction still exists!

In the same way, the Italians are eyeing their quasi-ally, the Ottoman Empire, and even the semi-allied Greece, the Italians are interested!

If you talk about the teammates of the pit goods, throughout the ages, Italy should be the first to be recommended, which is estimated to be the case for those who know the modern history of Europe, and there will be no doubts!

And then there was Austria-Hungary, Joseph I was still very clear in his head, and after the annexation of Serbia, he regretted it!

The national contradictions of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were already big enough, and the endless internal contradictions suppressed his desire to expand his territory!

On the whole, the performance of Austria-Hungary at this time is still good, but their desire for war is really worrying!

Without the conflict in the Balkans, the Austro-Hungarian Empire had no desire to fight the Russians! Grab a turf? None of the internal contradictions have been resolved?

The Hungarians showed a keen interest in Romania, but unfortunately they are still allies, and the Viennese government will never tolerate them!

After taking stock of Ferdinand, he found that although the Triple Alliance was still strong on the European continent, they were full of internal contradictions, and the Germans were not British and French, and they failed to resolve their internal contradictions through diplomatic means!

So, even though the Allies are more united now than they have historically been, they are still at the heart of the Germans.

Austria-Hungary and Italy had their own agendas, and even they were not so willing to see the Germans dominate the continent!

……

Time flies, and it's Christmas again, and it's a day when the whole of Bulgaria is on holiday, and Ferdinand is fiddling with the Christmas tree with the four little ones.

Oh, it's the eldest and the second who are helping, the little Caesar is in charge of making trouble, and the third son, Peter, is waving his flag and shouting beside him, clapping his hands and cheering, like a victorious general, but Ferdinand doesn't look angry at all!

The king's son is not so easy to be, little Caesar probably has a year or two of good life, and Peter This is his last happy time, and he is about to follow in the footsteps of his two brothers and feel what an elitist aristocratic education is!

Ferdinand had to rejoice, fortunately, the family has a deep heritage, and there is a strict education system for future generations, basically trained strictly from an early age, and there will be no waste when he grows up!

Usually this kind of training is often for the eldest son, so there are also many things where after the eldest son's accident, the heir behind is a waste!

But when it came to Ferdinand, he decided to treat all his sons equally, and all his sons should receive the same education!

It's a big deal to make a few more kingdoms out overseas in the future, and throw them out to be kings, so that even if anything happens in the future, the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha Kohali family can retain their prominent position!

Oh, it's all in the future, so let's have some fun now!

But Ferdinand was soon caught up in the news!

"Your Majesty, the Sofia has been completed and ready to start sea trials, we have our own dreadnought!" Prime Minister Konstantin said something incomparable

"What?" Ferdinand said in surprise

"Your Majesty, we are the second country in the world to have dreadnoughts!" Konstantin said excitedly

After much confirmation, Ferdinand was finally sure that this was true! Due to Ferdinand's butterfly effect, Bulgaria began preparations ahead of time and finally replaced Germany as the second country in the world to have dreadnoughts!

I believe that this news will soon shock the world!

Perhaps among the upper echelons of the countries, it is not too surprising that they know that the Bulgarian dreadnoughts were built in the first half of 1907, and with the technical support of the Gallic chickens, they were able to build them!

But ordinary people don't know! They will only be shocked by the strength of the Bulgarian industry and sigh at the strength of Bulgaria!

Although this kind of civil recognition cannot increase Bulgaria's hard power, it can increase soft power! And what the Bulgarian government lacks now is precisely this kind of soft power!

"Good! The trial ceremony is scheduled for three days later, and now the news is announced, and the ministers of various countries are invited to participate in this grand event! Ferdinand said with some excitement

He knew that as soon as this news came out, this Christmas would change its flavor and the whole world would be shocked by it!

After all, in everyone's cognition, the second person with a dreadnought should be the French, the Germans, and no matter how bad it is, it can be the Russians, Austria-Hungary, Italy, and even the Americans are within the scope of their speculation!

The second country capable of building dreadnoughts is Bulgaria? The first reaction of a normal person is that it is impossible!

What the hell is Bulgaria? God's back garden, I heard that roses are good somewhere, that's all!

Although Bulgaria has risen after the Balkan Wars, its international influence is limited to the Near East, and its popularity in the world is still so obscure!

……

In fact, due to the backwardness of information transmission in this era, in addition to the Bulgarian people, only the upper echelons of other countries got the news at Christmas, and the general public did not know how long it had been since they received the news!

……

As the news spread, Sofia became lively first, and of course Christmas was very lively! This news undoubtedly adds another point of joy!

Many people's first reaction is whether today is April Fool's Day? Although everyone knows that Bulgaria launched the Dreadnought program, no one can believe that it was completed so quickly!

You must know that so many countries in the world now have this technology, and the Bulgarian dreadnoughts are coming too fast!

From the beginning of the War of Independence to the present, after two generations of unremitting efforts, the dream of a great power is finally coming true!

Of course, this is not the dream of a great power in Ferdinand's mind, he knows very well that the current Bulgaria has only taken the first step, and the future is still a long way!

History has taught him that if a country does not have enough territory and not enough people, it will never become a real great power!

Can half of the Balkan Peninsula support a strong country? The answer is no!

Even the entire Balkan Peninsula can only support one regional power at most, which is proved by the British and French in parallel time!

Ferdinand's ideal country was one that included ......
