Chapter VI: Abdication

On September 12, 1931, Ferdinand officially announced his abdication.

The next day, Ferdinand the Younger was crowned emperor - Ferdinand II was shocked.

Although everyone has known it for a long time, it is still shocking, at the peak of the empire, but also the peak of individual rights - abdication, Ferdinand can be regarded as a historical precedent.

Now, Ferdinand is giving an abdication speech in Congress, which is quite a bit of a celebrity retirement, and fans do not agree.

At this time, the Bulgarian people did not want Ferdinand to abdicate, although Ferdinand Jr. looked good, it was still reassuring not to have him as the Emperor.

"It is a pleasure to be here today, and I have been in this position for 44 years, from 1887 to the present day!

The years are unforgiving, and I am no longer there when I was young and vigorous, and now all that remains is an old man in his last years.

Frankly sitting in this position, I was a warlord every day, for fear that one bad one would make the wrong decision and lead the country into the abyss.

It is not easy for Bulgaria to get to where it is today, thanks to the common credit of all the Bulgarian people and the favor of God.

Now that I'm old, walking on thin ice is not suitable for an old man.

So, I made a decision to pass the throne to my eldest son, Ferdinand Jr., who was young and strong enough to take on this responsibility.

The world is destined to belong to young people, and I believe that the next generation of Bulgarians can shoulder this burden and make the country ...... development."

At the Capitol, Ferdinand gave a speech for more than two hours, without the slightest hint of an old bell.

Many people are very confused, didn't it mean that Ferdinand the Great was forced to abdicate because of his health? Why is this energetic person in front of him without the slightest pathological look?

Anyway, as the biggest boss in the world, everyone is still very popular, without the slightest impatience.

Not only inside the Reichstag, but also outside the radio station was broadcasting live, and the whole of Bulgaria stopped at this moment, and the people spontaneously turned on the radio to listen to the Emperor's farewell speech.

After the forced outfit, Ferdinand ignored everyone and walked out directly. Now he doesn't need to care about these details, it's the prerogative of the old immortal.

No one would find it rude, even if it was rude for him to do so.

Konstantin and Chekov in the audience glanced at each other and made a decision in their hearts. Obviously, this speech also has political implications.

Konstantin, the prime minister, also served for almost forty years, while Chekov was in the cabinet even longer. For such a long time, they have naturally accumulated supreme prestige.

It didn't matter when Ferdinand was emperor, no matter how high their prestige was, they could hold it down, but now it won't work with little Ferdinand.

In the face of these heroes, Ferdinand Jr. has no confidence, so the cabinet must also be replaced.

However, they were all very meritorious, and it was not easy to get them down, at least not for little Ferdinand.

Just like Wilhelm II, who ousted the iron-blooded Prime Minister Bismarck, paid a terrible price for this, and after so many years, there are still people who criticize him on this issue.

As a good father, Ferdinand naturally had to help. It was too impersonal to let them go home directly, and Ferdinand didn't want to be too mean.

Then let them take the initiative to leave, it is the best choice, so that it will not hurt everyone's feelings of monarchs and ministers, hello, hello, hello, everyone.

The excuses are all ready-made, Ferdinand said that he was old, and several of them were older than Ferdinand, so naturally they could also say that they were old.

Even after retirement, Ferdinand arranged for them in advance.

The Senate in Bulgaria was born long ago, and several retired marshals joined it before, and now with a few of their cabinet ministers, it is not a big deal.

Shortly after Ferdinand Jr. succeeded to the throne, Prime Minister Konstantin submitted his resignation to him, followed by several other cabinet members.

Unless there is a breakthrough in human genetic science and technology and a significant increase in human lifespan, there is no cabinet that can compare with them.

Not in terms of time alone, if it is not a special period, the cabinet wants to be re-elected for forty years, dream of it!

Now the Bulgarian cabinet has no hope of entering before the age of fifty, and it is impossible to reach the age of ninety, so what should be done for the latecomers?

It takes time to build up political achievements, and if they are elected every five years, no matter how strong their ability is, they have no way to make an earth-shattering cause in such a short period of time!

It can only be said that they caught up with the good times, when there was a shortage of talent in Bulgaria, there was no better option, and in their thirties they rushed ducks to the shelves.

And then, Bulgaria opened, and their exploits followed.

Because, the credit is too great, naturally no one will oust them from power, after all, they were still young before.

You can't be forty or fifty years old, just let them abdicate, right? This is unreasonable!

The golden age of politicians is 50 to 70 years old, and later generations of presidents in their 90s have been in their 90s, and most politicians in this era will retire from politics after they are 70 or 80 years old.

At this time, it is acceptable for everyone to choose to leave, and it is acceptable for everyone to be more than ten years old and have limited energy and are not qualified for the work of the cabinet.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, with your physical condition, you can do it for another term, there is no need to leave in such a hurry!" Ferdinand Jr. said

Although Konstantin also thought so in his heart, he still decided to leave, once a son of heaven and a courtier, if he continued to stay, he would not be treated well.

He has already achieved fame, there is no need to make trouble for himself at the last moment, if he doesn't do it, it will be a political stain.

"Your Majesty, I'm already old, and I'll be eighty years old soon, you can't let me die of exhaustion in office, right?" Konstantin said with a smile

"Then you can't leave right away, at least you can leave until I'm familiar with everything and find someone to replace you!" Little Ferdinand said very cooperatively

Even if he wants these old guys to leave so that he can take power, but in terms of face, he must do it beautifully, and he must not make people think that he is unkind.

"That's good, Your Majesty, please rest assured, the last shift, I will still stand on the old man!" Konstantin said with a smile

is about to leave, he still has a little reluctance in his heart, this is the place he has fought for most of his life, and he has too deep feelings for this country.

But there is no way, politics is so cruel, if you insist on staying, it will be the resentment of the monarch and the minister, and if he doesn't do it, he will really take office.

If he leaves now, little Ferdinand must give him the utmost respect, even if it is to rely on the old and sell the old.

Even in order to show his open-mindedness, little Ferdinand would happily hold him up, and the emperor is a creature that cannot be known by common sense.

The cabinet minister who submitted his resignation next, Ferdinand Jr., was appeased, and good words popped out of his mouth without money.

Given this cabinet, the most lofty historical positioning, is unprecedented, and I don't know if there will be anyone coming later.

Anyway, they all left in style, and the domestic media also touted them to the sky, and even the international media joined in the touted team.

Their achievements have been widely recognized all over the world.

Ferdinand, who had already abdicated, did nothing, just quietly watched his son deal with this matter, and judging from the results, he was still satisfied.

Where does a good reputation come about?

The answer is: business blows each other!

Ferdinand Jr. now gives the Cabinet the utmost respect, touting their exploits, and in turn these people will reciprocate by saying good things about him.

Ordinary people may not have much effect when they say it, but after they say it in their mouths, it is different.

For example, Konstantin's evaluation of little Ferdinand is: There is the wind of a father!

This is a very high praise, in Bulgaria Ferdinand has been deified, and now that little Ferdinand can inherit his style, it is incredible.

It may not be useful if it comes out of someone else's mouth, but it is the most powerful prime minister in Bulgaria's history, and it is different.

After a wave of commercial blows, the throne of Ferdinand Jr. has also been consolidated, and everyone has accepted him as Ferdinand II, and it will depend on his performance later.
