In the Transcaucasian region of the Russian Empire, in a small city called Zarka, all the high-ranking people of the tri-ethnic United Kingdom (Greeks, Armenians, Slavs) are gathered to discuss the future fate of the kingdom!

The tri-ethnic United Kingdom sounds like it knows that this country is a makeshift patchwork, and under the genocidal policies of the Ottoman Empire, everyone huddles together to survive.

From the beginning of its establishment, there were many internal contradictions, but fortunately, President Victorkith had a high prestige, and he led the kingdom's army to defeat the Ottomans many times, although he still failed in the end, which was a gap in strength and did not affect his prestige.

Especially after being forced to make a strategic shift, Victorkis basically controlled the forces of the kingdom, but it was useless, and they had to be men with their tails between their legs on the territory of the Russians!

Originally, after the world war, they were ready to participate in the Paris Peace Conference as an independent state, but unfortunately their independence was not recognized by other countries, and they even lived in the Russian Empire without their own land.

This is embarrassing, the General Assembly naturally does not accept their request, if they accept their status as an independent country, then how can their land be counted?

The original place of statehood is now Bulgarian territory, the key is that in order to escape for their lives, they ran fast one by one, and now there is even a person from the United Kingdom of the Three Kingdoms, how can they still swear sovereignty?

Nor does international law stipulate that as long as they have lived in that place, that place is their territory? If we follow the logic of sovereignty if you live there, then the world order must not collapse immediately, and the struggle for sovereignty of various countries will never be clear!

Now that everyone is gone, according to the prevailing international practice, this is considered an ethnic migration, and the original territory is owned by the people who live now!

Even if it was a genocide and forced to relocate, but this was caused by the Ottoman Empire, and now that the Ottoman Empire has collapsed, it is naturally impossible to hold Bulgaria, which replaced the Ottoman Empire, responsible!

De jure, the Tri-Tribal United Kingdom has now lost its sovereignty there, so it is not easy for them to go back now.

And the life of the sojourn in Russia is not easy, and the woolly bear is not a charity, and the extra people are naturally called as cattle, although the United Kingdom of the Three Tribes was accepted, and it was originally for the purpose of competing with Bulgaria for the territory of the Ottoman Empire.

As soon as the Russian Civil War broke out, Nicholas I, the Younger, who controlled the Caucasus, naturally would not go to grab any more territory with Bulgaria, and the signboard of the tri-ethnic United Kingdom was now useless.

Without the support of the Russians, they naturally did not have the strength to regain their lost territory and watch the Bulgarian army occupy their homeland!

Viktorkis frowned, and said in a low tone: "You Russians have now driven us to the precipice, and the tsarist government has asked us to dissolve the tri-ethnic United Kingdom and join the Russian Empire, otherwise we will leave the Russian Empire."

Now it's time to make a choice, either leave the Russian Empire and find another conclusion, or dissolve the kingdom, let's see! ”

In order to keep the tri-ethnic United Kingdom, Victorkis also tried his best, on the one hand, he had to deal with the Russians, and on the other hand, he had to fight against the major factions in the country, and he was exhausted.

By now, Viktorkis doesn't care anymore, the Ottoman Empire is finished, the genocide no longer exists, and he can let it go no matter what these people choose.

He has fulfilled his responsibilities as president, and as for how much affection he has for this newly established country, that's it, anyway, he is not really Armenian, and it has little to do with him whether he is independent or not.

From a spy to the president of a country, this is already a legend, and if he wants to lead the country to prosperity and strength, sorry, this is beyond his ability.

As soon as Viktorkis's words fell, the conference room exploded, and some people wanted to join the Russian Empire, and some wanted to establish an independent state, and they began to argue again.

Viktorkis, who was impatient, said angrily: "Quiet down, it's time like this, is it necessary for everyone to quarrel?"

Our tri-ethnic united kingdom was established to resist the massacres of the Ottomans, and now that the Ottoman Empire is over, the crisis has been resolved.

I have called you here today to discuss the future of the kingdom, and if you continue to quarrel, it is better to simply divide the family.

You can make a choice now, if you want to quit the kingdom and join the Russian Empire, you can leave now, if you want to leave the Russian Empire and find another way, we can continue to discuss the future path, of course, you can also choose to leave on your own, I will not force anyone to make a decision again!

But now, it's really not the time to quarrel, if you don't make a choice quickly, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to choose.

The total population of our tri-ethnic United Kingdom now totals 1.86 million, and they can also make their own decisions, and I will not interfere. ”

Victorkis's words undoubtedly stung everyone's sensitive time, and they all knew that the president was really angry.

If they were to decide for themselves, even the hardcore Russophiles knew that if they could bring the entire kingdom of 1,860,000 people into the Russian Empire, perhaps they could become the nobility of the country; Anyway, if they're just joining as individuals, who knows who they are?

Except for President Victorkis, who was registered at the top of the tsarist government, everyone else probably didn't bother to know him.

Victorkis's popularity is also blown out to a large extent, for example: he led the great uprising of Constantinople that shocked the world and shook the foundation of the Ottoman Empire in Europe; He led the Armenian uprising against the Ottoman massacres, established the Tri-Nation United Kingdom, and commanded several armies to defeat the Turkish army.

As the core figures of these events, everyone naturally has to care about Viktorkis, and forget about their supporting roles, the Russian top brass is still busy with the civil war and has no time to meet them!

Republican leader GLP asked: "Mr. President, where can we go without the Russian Empire?" ”

Victor Kis said coldly: "I don't know! Like you, I'm confused, but I think we should be able to communicate with the Sofia government now and see if we can give us an independent land! ”

Democratic leader Soren Volcker excitedly said, "Can't we just know where we lived?" It's our homeland, so why do we have to negotiate with the Bulgarians? ”

Victorkis glared at him and said coldly: "If someone has water in their brains, please go out and calm down before coming in, I don't want to listen to this unrealistic again!"

If you have the ability to lead everyone back to their homeland and build an independent country, I will immediately give you the presidency, and if you can't do it, don't mention these unrealistic delusions! ”

Soren Volker also realized that he had lost his words, and really thought that Bulgarian guns would not kill? Now that those places have become someone else's territory, and the local residents have been replaced by Bulgarians, isn't it looking for death to go back and grab land at this time?

Chancellor of the Exchequer Ralph said with a smile: "Mr. Solon, the fighting power of the Bulgarian military nobles is famous all over the world, and in terms of the strength of the kingdom, they don't need to send regular troops, and the local nobles are happy to turn us into serfs!"

You know, they're short of labor right now, so you shouldn't have taken their benefits and wanted to sell us, right? ”

Sauron Volker gritted his teeth angrily, half speechless, yes, his reaction was a little too aggressive, and he accidentally said an angry word, as for such a fuss?

Of course, he didn't know that everyone had already labeled themselves as stupid. After all, it is undoubtedly self-defeating to dare to put forward such a blatant proposal to snatch back the land from Bulgaria!

There are many people who think this way, but why haven't they put it forward? It's not caused by the difference in strength between the two sides, if you really fight it, won't you send serfs to those nobles?

Then everyone really has no hope at all, and now they have turned their faces with Bulgaria, and if they die, there will be no one to help them cry out, and this is an active invasion in international law!

Republican leader GLP did not have a chance to be a rival of Soren Volker, but asked with concern: "Mr. President, do you think it is possible for Bulgaria to agree?"

You must know that now our former residence is already a de jure colony of theirs, and has been recognized by the international community at the Paris Peace Conference, while we, since our actual place of residence is in the Russian Empire, we are considered to be a people within the Russian Empire, and we have nothing to do with those places at all! ”

There is no way, society is such a reality, at the Paris Peace Conference, no one raised the question of the United Kingdom of the Three Nations, and they were directly regarded as part of the Russian Empire.

This is also a European practice, there are so many ethnic migrations in history that there must be a legal basis for tracing sovereignty, and this basis was that Bulgaria was taken from the Ottoman Empire.

If the tri-ethnic United Kingdom had remained where it was, they would have had actual ownership of the land, and naturally they would have been entitled to compete with Bulgaria for this sovereignty, but now they were part of the Russian Empire, that is, part of Russia, and the tsarist government had no objection.

Viktorkis thought for a moment and said: "I don't know, the most optimistic estimate is that we pay a certain price to get a piece of land from the Bulgarians for independent statehood."

The worst estimate is that they refuse to give us land, so we will have to find another way to make a living and find a way to get a piece of land in other areas and build our country! ”

Everyone's faces were gloomy, it is not easy to get a piece of land to establish a state, you can refer to the Jews, how much they paid for the independent establishment of the country, and now they still have achieved nothing!

Of course, not all of them were so determined, except for the Armenians, the rest of the Slavs and Greeks were already shaken, and they still had a choice.

The Slavs could choose between Bulgaria and the Russian Empire, and it was not a problem for everyone to be of the same language.

The Greeks also had a Greek kingdom, George I was an old man, and now he was still recruiting troops in the Asmara region, wanting to achieve the great revival of the Greek nation!

Only the Armenians do not have a state, of course, as long as they are willing to give up their independent statehood and exalt the theory of national origin, they can also join Bulgaria, everyone is still a close relative, their ancestors have been integrated once, and there is no pressure on blood.

From Viktorkis's point of view, he most wanted this to happen, and then he could return to Bulgaria in style and live a life of retirement.

Therefore, the United Kingdom of the Three Ethnic Groups has come to this point, to a large extent, it is also deliberately caused by him, in order to get rid of it as soon as possible, after all, it is difficult for a country like the United Kingdom of the Three Ethnic Groups to maintain, let alone develop.

Don't look at their total population of 1.86 million, but in fact these people include more than 30 ethnic groups with a population of more than 10,000, and the largest number of Armenians is only about 500,000.

This is all the sequelae of the Ferdinand butterfly effect, at least the Armenians danced the most happily in history, and were slaughtered the most by the Ottomans, while other national resistance groups did not have time to resist and were directly finished.

Under the butterfly effect, the Bulgarian intelligence organization threaded the needle, everyone united for a common purpose, and when the Ottoman Empire raised the butcher's knife, everyone began to rebel together, and then went into exile together.

Ralph said heartlessly, "Okay, I said can you be optimistic?" The situation is much better now, at least we don't have to worry about the massacre of the Ottomans!

The worst result is nothing more than the dissolution of the kingdom, and then we become part of the Kingdom of Bulgaria or the Russian Empire, what's the big deal?

Is it just that you want to curb your ambitions and start from scratch? Whether it is the Bulgarian Kingdom or the Russian Empire, the stage is much bigger than ours, and if you have the ability, can you continue to show it? ”

Sure enough, after Ralph directly named the consequences, everyone's mood relaxed a lot, and after so many twists and turns, everyone's ambitions are now almost worn out.

Ambition also requires strength to cooperate, and many people have long been accustomed to having grandchildren in the Russian Empire, at most they just dare to be in the nest, and they are low-key people when they go out.

The absence of the Tri-Ethnic United Kingdom is not unacceptable, and what really embarrasses them is that neither Bulgaria nor the Russian Empire has the insight to win over their group of "world-class talents"!
