On August 18, 1917, the Allied forces besieged Munich, and on August 20, the Bulgarian forces surrounded Nuremberg.

The Hindenburg government, which had no troops at its disposal, could only allow the Allied forces to dominate South Germany, but Dante Kristof did not stop the attack, and the main army continued to advance north.

On 21 August, the Hindenburg government forced the High Seas Fleet to fight in order to secure more favorable terms for peace talks, and the naval soldiers, unable to bear the pressure, revolted and occupied the port.

On August 25, the Allied forces and the Conservative Russian forces at Nuremberg triumphantly joined forces, and the Germans could no longer bother to attack Paris at a time of crisis.

On 28 August, the Berlin workers revolted because they were hungry and were put out by the Hindenburg government.

In September, the mutiny began to spread throughout the country, and the German government began to lose control of the localities.

On 6 September, Munich fell, the Kingdom of Bavaria surrendered, and all of South Germany fell.

By this time, the German General Staff had despaired of the war, and on September 10 the Hindenburg government was forced to declare a cessation of the war, and the two sides achieved a ceasefire.

That night, Wilhelm II's family fled to the Netherlands for political asylum.

On September 11, in a carriage in Paris, an armistice was signed.

Thus, after two and a half years of the world war, which broke out on March 3, 1915, the curtain finally came to an end, and a new chapter in world history began.

Foreign Minister Metyev said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the world war is over, and just now the Germans have signed an armistice agreement in Paris with Britain, France, Russia, and our representatives. ”

Hearing the news, Ferdinand's first reaction was not excitement, but relief that the terrifying world war was finally over.

At the same time, there is a sense of pride that he has finally changed the world, and the world war that has lasted for more than four years in history has been shrunk into two and a half years!

Compared with history, the scope of this world war, the number of people affected, and the number of countries participating in the war are much smaller than in history.

The losses brought to mankind cannot be compared with history, the most obvious is that the strength of Britain and France has not been weakened as much, and the Americans have not trembled.

Thinking about it this way, Ferdinand realized that he still seemed to be an angel of peace? After a round of tossing, at least millions of people survived because of his butterfly effect!

Seeing that Ferdinand did not react for a long time, Metev reminded: "Your Majesty, it's time to prepare for the aftermath!" ”

Ferdinand came to his senses, yes the Germans surrendered, but the matter was not over yet, and now it was time to start cutting the cake.

Ferdinand said with some excitement: "Immediately convene the cabinet for a meeting, we are going to send a delegation to Paris to cut the cake!" ”

"Yes!" Metelf replied, and as soon as the words fell, Metelf ran out.

Ferdinand saw that Metev had run out, and he really wanted to call him back and inform someone to come to the meeting, and he didn't need the Foreign Secretary to go in person!

However, seeing that he was so excited, Ferdinand held back again. It seems to have returned to more than 20 years ago, and he had just succeeded to the throne not long ago, and led everyone to win the second Palazzo War, and Metyev also had this expression at that time.

Since then, as Bulgaria has won more and more victories, everyone will still be happy about the victory, but they will not feel the same way they did then.

The years are ruthless, and everyone is already old in a flash! This is relative, and in terms of age, the age of the leadership of the Bulgarian government has just reached the average age of the leaders of various countries.

The age of fifty or sixty years old is still in the golden stage of politics, and the cabinet with an average age of twenty or thirty years old at the beginning is an abnormal performance.

……

"The world war is over, and now I call you over, mainly for two things:

1. Immediately form a negotiation delegation and prepare to go to Paris for negotiations;

2. The post-war treatment of the Allies.

These two issues can also be dealt with as a question, let's talk about the selection of the delegation, what is the Prime Minister's suggestion? ”

Konstantin, who was named, said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, this war has lasted for so long, all governments need to use victory to cheer up, the standard of negotiation is probably very high, and the British are likely to go to the Prime Minister in person, so I think it may be more appropriate for me to go in person." ”

Ferdinand knew that the French, as the host, did not need to pay attention, the president would definitely come out in person, and they had been suppressed by the Germans for so long, so they should be in the limelight once, and there was no need to mention it at all.

The Russians no longer have anyone to pay attention to them, and to give them the treatment of the victorious powers, everyone is already taking care of their emotions.

Courtesy treatment can be given, but in terms of actual benefits, everyone will not be polite, the fragmented Russian Empire has no right to speak, and may receive a small share of the war reparations, which can be regarded as a consolation prize.

Therefore, it is the British who really need to be considered, if the representatives sent out are not equal, then it is easy to be in a weak position in the negotiations, and as for the re-dispatch of representatives, this kind of shameful thing is better not to do.

Ferdinand continued, "What about the other members?" ”

Konstantin thought for a moment and said: "There are many aspects involved in this negotiation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of the Navy, the Ministry of the Army, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Colonies, and it is best to send professionals to participate. ”

Ferdinand thought for a while and said, "Well, this matter is decided, the Prime Minister personally led the team, and all major ministries and commissions sent professionals to participate."

Chekov, you should also prepare, Germany will definitely be chaotic for a period of time after the war, you pay attention to it, see if you can dig up some talents by the way, and not only Germany, but other countries can also start if it is convenient.

Next, let's discuss how to deal with Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy, the main thing is the issue of reparations in each country, and it would be better if we could get some colonies!

Although Austria-Hungary has defected, there is still a war reparation, and there is the Middle Danube Plain, if Austria-Hungary wants to take it back, it must pay a ransom! ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, we have spent a total of 40.65 billion leva (about 1.626 billion pounds) for this world war, and the economic losses caused to our country are as high as 120 billion leva (about 4.8 billion pounds).

As the victorious power, we must pass on this cost to the enemy, and I propose to claim 52.5 billion leva (about 2.1 billion pounds) from Italy, 75 billion leva (about 3 billion pounds) from Austria-Hungary, and 28 billion leva (about 1.6 billion pounds) from the Germans, for a total amount of 167.5 billion leva (about 6.7 billion pounds).

This is to take into account our post-war expenses, soldiers' casualty pensions, disarmament expenses, etc., and then erase the fraction! ”

Ferdinand rubbed his forehead, this is simply talking nonsense with his eyes open, what is war spending? The Ministry of Finance has directly added all government expenditures from 1915 to the present, and all of them are considered military expenditures.

The economic losses in the back, hell when did Bulgaria have such a big economic loss? How did he not know? Could it be that he added to the economic losses of the newly occupied land, so that he could barely make up enough!

Ferdinand thought for a while and said: "That, it's all my own people here, there's no need to be so cautious, let's just discuss our bottom line, you still have to slowly pull this number at the negotiation table!" ”

What are you kidding, Bulgaria alone demanded a huge reparation of up to 67 pounds, and even if it was passed at the peace conference, they could not afford to pay it!

According to Ferdinand's estimate, if nothing else, Bulgaria could get about four tiers of five for the Italians' reparations; The Germans paid about 10 percent of the reparations at most; Austria-Hungary could probably get more than half of the reparations.

This is all calculated according to everyone's contribution on the battlefield, Bulgaria's main merit is to defeat Italy and Austria-Hungary, and the Germans are basically just the last to step on it, Britain and France fought so hard, naturally they took the lion's share.

And the Austro-Hungarian Empire defected again in the later period, this war reparation must have been greatly discounted, the key is that Bulgaria has already occupied so much land, as long as it is deducted, there is still a fart indemnity!

At most, they only demanded a ransom for the land, and this part of the money had to be used to repay the loans of the French, who agreed to take over the debts of Bulgaria by Austria-Hungary in order to kill the Germans as soon as possible.

This part is equivalent to no more, and the rest is that the Italians may pay a little more, but they can't stand the poverty of Italy, and their ability to repay is limited!

As soon as Ferdinand interrupted, the Chancellor of the Exchequer immediately reacted, and then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, our Ministry of Finance does not have high requirements, as long as the war reparations this time can pay off all our debts at the same time, it can cover our later aftermath expenses." ”

Ferdinand secretly calculated that now Bulgaria is also heavily indebted, all of which are owed: John Bull 640 million pounds, France 430 million pounds, Americans 210 million pounds, and other countries totaling about 130 million pounds, a total of 1.41 billion pounds.

Such a large sum of money needs to be repaid by the defeated countries, this is only Bulgaria, if you add other Entente members, God knows that they will be able to pay it off in the year of the monkey, it seems that the transfer of creditor's rights is the king!

But think about it, in history, Germany alone had to pay 269 billion gold marks, (1 gold mark = 0.358 grams of gold), which is equivalent to 96,302 tons of gold, or 13.154 billion pounds!

The reparations figure proposed by the Ministry of Finance is nothing, at least there is no problem in passing it at the peace conference.

Ferdinand thought for a while and said: "Well, our bottom line is that Austria-Hungary will pay the debts of the French for us, the Italians will pay us 30 billion leva (about 1.2 billion pounds), and Germany will pay us 20 billion leva (about 800 million pounds)!"

Accept the colonial debt, or accept other debts in kind that we need!

In addition to that, I ask you to transfer our debts as much as possible, for example, we owe the Americans £210 million, and if they can accept the Germans to pay for us, they can transfer £300 million of German debt to them!

If there is a European and American consortium willing to take over, we can also sell these debts, on the grounds that we need to get back the funds as soon as possible for national construction! ”

Chancellor of the Exchequer Kennedy was surprised and said: "Your Majesty, we will suffer too much in this way, these consortia will definitely take advantage of the fire to rob!" ”

Ferdinand said undoubtedly: "Then let them take advantage of the fire to rob, don't forget that the repayment ability of Germany and Italy is not unlimited, and it is impossible for them to pay off the huge war reparations in the short term!"

Rather than spend decades collecting this reparation, it would be better to show a part of it in advance and use it to build our country.

From the perspective of investment, the economic development of our country has naturally increased the fiscal revenue, and it is still a permanent increase, in fact, we are more cost-effective! ”

Well, this is Ferdinand fooling people again, mainly because historically, the Germans paid off this reparation until 1983, can he afford to wait?

Problems with the colonies? I'm sorry that Bulgaria doesn't have much demand now, after the annexation of the Ottoman Empire, the German colonies are already dispensable, anyway, what Britain and France don't look down on, in the end it's all Bulgarian.

At this point, Ferdinand is very confident, the Italian colony is left with Somalia, the German colony is not of much value, Britain and France will not swallow it all, for them, many places in it are operating at a loss, it is completely a burden!

……

Paris, France, as soon as the world war ended, the news spread by politicians, and people were thrown into a frenzy of celebrations, and if Germany launched a sneak attack now, it might actually be able to go down the war.

This possibility naturally does not exist, the British and French troops are celebrating for the victory of the war, and the Germans on the opposite side are not idle, they are also starting to celebrate, although they lost!

Now that the war has just been armistic, who knows how miserable the future will be? Getting rid of this brutal war is equivalent to picking up a small life from the battlefield, how can you not celebrate?

……

The world was united by the birth of wireless telegraphy, and within a few hours of the end of the world war, the news was already on the desks of dignitaries around the world, and perhaps in a few hours, it would appear in the newspapers on the streets.

How should we face the new international situation? This is a new problem for politicians, and now it is not only the belligerent countries that are thinking about what to do with the Germans, but also the neutral countries are very concerned about this issue.

At the White House in Washington, D.C., President Wilson hurriedly convened a staff meeting to discuss countermeasures.

During the world war, the Americans did not embezzle the interests of Britain and France, and there were even many radical groups in the country, and they also advocated driving all the Europeans out of the American continent.

Don't look at the United States in later generations, they are still pretending to be grandchildren in this era. Economically, they are number one in the world, and militarily they are still soft-footed shrimp.

The army doesn't need to think about it, anyway, the tens of thousands of soldiers can be ignored; Although the Navy is now only second to John Bull in terms of tonnage, it is far from the same in terms of combat effectiveness, and the gap between the two sides in shipbuilding technology alone is more than ten years!

Now that the world war is over, the power of Britain and France will definitely return to the American continent again, and they must bear the brunt of it as the overlords.
