After learning about the specific situation, Victorkis's good mood fell silent all of a sudden, and now the situation in the Tri-Nation United Kingdom is not bad, but very bad!

There is nothing but a group of refugees, a government in exile, no, there is an army of more than 30,000 people, the morale is acceptable, but the combat effectiveness is worrying.

The main thing is that there is no shortage of weapons, ammunition, food, and medicine, and in this case, even if Victorkis wants to strengthen training!

Victorkis asked incredulously, "Is it true that Ralph has no money financially?" ”

Ralph smiled wryly and said, "What do you think? Don't look at the fact that we grabbed a sum in the Ottoman Empire before, in fact, it was almost consumed in the war!

Besides, don't you know what's going on with our Tri-Nation United Kingdom? Nominally we have a lot of territory, but when did we actually occupy those real places? Have you ever received a penny of tax? It was nothing more than an oath of sovereignty and recognition by the Entente! ”

Viktorkis asked again: "Can we borrow money from the Russians?" You can use any collateral to pledge! ”

"Forget it! The Russians are not much better financially than ours, and if it weren't for the Anglo-French loans, their finances would have gone bankrupt long ago! Without waiting for Ralph to answer, Victorkis vetoed it himself.

Knowing that something is impossible, there is naturally no need to try it. Now that the people of the Tri-Ethnic United Kingdom are basically living on relief food distributed by the Russians, it is interesting enough that the tsarist government can come up with so much food, and it would be a bit out of place to make any more indiscriminate demands.

After a moment of silence, Ralph spoke, "Perhaps we can apply for a loan from the Entente, or our citizens will starve to death!" ”

Victor Kis was shocked and asked in wonder, "What?" Why are our people dying of hunger? Didn't the Russians already provide relief food?

According to our prior agreement, the weekly ration per person is 2,800 grams of brown bread, 300 grams of meat, 280 grams of butter, 950 grams of potato flour, and 1.4 liters of milk. ”

Ralph smiled bitterly and said: "That's right, these foods exist in name, but in fact, we don't even get a tenth of them, and some of the Russians directly use the turnips to feed the animals!"

If you want to get enough supplies, give money first! So our citizens are now hungry, waiting for you, the great president, to solve the problem! ”

Viktorkis's anger was already uncontrollable, he really didn't expect the Russians to do so much, didn't this cost people's lives?

"Didn't you protest to the Russians?" Victorkis asked angrily

Ralph said coldly, "To tell you the truth, the Russian officer we were able to meet before you came was only a colonel, do you think it would be useful to find him?"

Don't you know what the situation is like in Russia now? Stop kidding yourself, okay? ”

Viktorkis was silent, it was almost inevitable that this would happen with the corruption of the Tsarist government! They don't even care about the lives of their own people, let alone these outsiders?

"In that case, let's contact the major powers, no matter which country is willing to provide us with loans, we can accept it, at least let the people fill their stomachs first!" Viktorkis reluctantly said that now he had no hope for the Russians.

With that, Victorkis walked in the direction of the camp, looked at it and walked away. He didn't know how to face these citizens now, they were still struggling on the line of life and death, but they lived in a comfortable house, eating steak and drinking coffee!

At this moment, Victorkis hated politics immensely, and he even missed the days when he was on the run, eating the same food as the people, and everyone was in the same boat.

After thinking about it, Victor finally decided to find a way out for these citizens who supported him, and for the first time he violated discipline and took the initiative to contact the country, explaining the situation and waiting for the verdict!

……

A middle-aged man walked up to Ferdinand and said expressionlessly, "Your Majesty, intelligence agent number seven has sent a telegram for help!" ”

Ferdinand was shocked in his heart, this "No. 7" intelligence officer is not simple, it can be said that he is the best of all the intelligence officers sent by Bulgaria at present, his excellent performance has been rewarded many times, if he returns to China now, at least one viscount position is indispensable!

"Tell me about Sim, what's the trouble with Seven?" Ferdinand asked with great concern

There is no doubt that this middle-aged man named Sim is now one of the new heads of the Bulgarian intelligence organization, and his power naturally cannot be compared with the time of Fuhu, and the current intelligence organization has been divided into three.

Sim said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, there are about two million refugees in the United Kingdom of the Caucasus, and they are now seriously short of food, and the Seven hopes that we can provide the necessary humanitarian aid!" ”

Obviously, this is more than an intelligence officer should do, and Ferdinand has no intention of turning his men into virgins! So he asked coldly, "What is the reason?" What reason is he going to use to convince us? ”

Sim replied, "Seven thinks that by providing humanitarian aid to the Tri-Tri-Nation United Kingdom now, we can buy hearts and minds and lay the foundation for the future annexation of the Tri-Nation United Kingdom!" ”

Ferdinand shook his head and said, "Tell him that this reason is not sufficient, and that if the people of the Tri-Nation United Kingdom are gone, wouldn't it be easier for us to annex them?"

Without a more substantial reason, we would not have paid such a great price for a group of irrelevant people! ”

Just kidding more than 2 million refugees, even according to the most basic food supply, how can each person consume 10 kilograms of rye every month, more than 2 million people are more than 20 million kilograms, that is, more than 20,000 tons of grain per month!

Now that the price of food on the European continent has risen to the sky, Ferdinand is not in the water of his brain, why should he take out so much precious food for charity?

Besides, even if Ferdinand wants to buy people's hearts, why should he consider the feelings of the Russians! Now the Tri-Ethnic United Kingdom is already meat on their lips, and can Bulgaria still interfere?

In this regard, the two sides have long reached a tacit understanding that they must not stretch out their hands into each other's sphere of influence, and if they could break the rules, the relations between Bulgaria and Russia would have broken down long ago.

"Yes!" Sim replied in a sonorous voice

Ferdinand did not hold Ferdinand accountable for the intelligence agent No. 7 who may have been incarnated as a virgin, after all, heroes are given preferential treatment, and besides, everyone is mixed up as presidents!

Perhaps, now it seems that the president of his government-in-exile is not of much value, but the future is not certain, and when Bulgaria completely occupies the peninsula of Asia Minor, the two sides will border, and then his role will be manifested.

……

The three-ethnic coalition government was a mixed bag, and there were not only pro-Russian factions, but also pro-British, pro-French, pro-Conservative, and even pro-German factions, but because of the alliance between the Germans and the Ottomans, the pro-German faction was not able to develop and grow.

Among these major factions, the "neutral faction" headed by Victorkis was the strongest, advocating maintaining friendly relations with all the major powers of the Entente, but not completely surrendering to any of them.

The second is the pro-Russian faction, which began to grow rapidly when the Provisional Government was exiled to the Caucasus, and even surpassed the centrists.

Then there are the pro-protection faction, mainly composed of international students, who are deeply influenced by The Rise of Great Powers, and they advocate learning from the Bulgarian political system to achieve a counterattack from small countries.

Then there are the pro-British and pro-French factions, due to geopolitical relations, the influence of Britain and France in the interior of the Ottoman Empire is not very large, and it is inevitable that this faction has not developed!

In addition, the United Kingdom of the Three Races was also forced by the butcher's knife of the Ottomans to be formed temporarily, because the establishment time was too short, everyone did not have much centripetal force, and most of them relied on the prestige of Victor Kis to maintain it, and it was difficult to smooth out the relationship!

This time he was not able to get help from home, and Victorkis was not depressed, he had already prepared, and if it was peacetime, that is, a matter of several million leva per month, it would still be possible to pass.

But now is the time of war, and food production in Europe has fallen sharply, and no one knows how long this war will last. If it is not necessary, everyone tries not to use their own reserves.

Against this background, it is almost impossible for Victorkis to get food from the country. But it doesn't matter, the absence of grain does not mean that there are no rubles either!

It is also a good option to borrow several million rubles from Bulgarian banks for emergencies.

For a business loan, as long as there is sufficient collateral, it is sufficient. Of course, there is no collateral in the hands of the current tri-ethnic United Kingdom, but this is a small problem, and it is not impossible to pre-sell some minerals in advance!

Due to the risk, this price will naturally be very low, as long as it is fast enough to reach an agreement before the Russians react, and get the money.

As for the follow-up problems, Viktorkis couldn't care so much, anyway, he knew that as long as the Bulgarian government did not intervene, the loan would most likely be successful, and the bank would be able to settle the Russian government.

Would Ferdinand interfere? The answer is already obvious! Why don't you make money from door-to-door delivery? Even if the Russians annexed the United Kingdom, it would not affect the execution of this loan?

As for the fear that the Russians will not recognize this agreement after the annexation of the United Kingdom? It's all too much thinking, if you can't solve even this little trouble, then why do you still open a branch in Russia?
