As the situation continues to change, the division of interests among allies must also be roughly determined to ensure that there is no major conflict between their core interests.

Each ally has to share a piece of meat according to their own strength, so as to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, active participation and passive participation, the power that can be exerted is completely different.

The position of the French did not need to be worried, they were Bulgaria's staunchest allies until the British abandoned the Germans, and the defeat of the Germans was their main strategic goal at the moment.

As the first to drag the British into the war, the French were naturally going to be attacked by the British, and now the continuous bombing is the best proof of this.

However, compared with the centuries-old hatred between Britain and France, it seems that adding this little bit of grievance is nothing, and the French are too much to weigh.

The French people are now fighting hard to defeat the two main enemies at the same time, and this is in accordance with the will of the people.

"Your Majesty, the French government has put forward two demands: first, the division of Britain and Germany after the war; Second, they had ambitions for the British colonies! Foreign Secretary Coleman said

"Where do the French want?" Little Ferdinand asked with great concern

Coleman replied: "There are a lot of targets that the French are eyeing and they are all good places, such as India, South Africa, Southeast Asia, Australia, etc.

However, France has made many requests in many places, but has not made specific demands, and it seems that they are only testing our attitude, and the real goal is still uncertain. ”

This is the most commonly used diplomatic method, and no one will expose their bottom line at the beginning, except that the separation of Britain and Germany is a well-known French strategic goal, and there is no need to keep it secret.

"Then let's choose a colony for the French, it doesn't matter if Fu Shuo is at all, but we can't let it go in a strategically important place!" Little Ferdinand said with a smile

"Your Majesty, why don't you let the French go to the Americas, Canada is a suitable bargaining chip!" Chancellor of the Exchequer Angela Merkel proposed

The most obvious feature of Canada is that it is large enough, sparsely populated and rich in resources, but unfortunately it is too far away from Bulgaria to control and has become a land of chicken ribs.

"I'm afraid this is not possible, Canada has established a self-government, even if it leaves the British Empire, they can exist independently.

The French are not fools, their strength is limited, it is easy to win the Canadian self-government, but it is difficult to rule Canada! Coleman said, shaking his head

The Bulgarians had no interest in dominating Canada, let alone the French, and even closer to the French could not afford to do so.

"Maybe you can find it in Asia, for example, in part of the British Indian colony!" Prime Minister Tolsky proposed

(Note: The Viceroyalty of India included the regions of present-day India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Burma.) ）

"No! The Indian region was the best part of the British Empire's colonies, and if we could get it, we would be of great financial help! Chancellor of the Exchequer Angela Merkel hurriedly objected

The value of India is simply too high, high enough to move anyone, and the acquisition of this region is enough to raise Bulgaria's overall national power to a higher level.

Up to now, it has been very difficult for Bulgaria to improve its comprehensive national strength, and India alone has such great value, and Merkel's attitude is actually the concept of most people.

Tolkis shook his head and said: "Mr. Merkel, although India is good, it is not suitable for us here, the local population is too large, and it does not fit our current national policy.

In this world, there are many valuable colonies, and our energy is not unlimited, it is impossible to occupy them all, and now we must make trade-offs.

With the rise of nationalism, so did the cost of ruling such populous regions, and it was only a matter of time before the colonial system collapsed in the future.

For us, the first thing to occupy is strategic points, such as the British naval bases all over the world, especially in the island areas.

Then the sparsely populated and resource-rich land is our goal, and after occupying these areas, our energy is almost exhausted! ”

Donald, the Minister of Colony, said, "But Your Excellency, it is precisely India, a populous and rich land, that can benefit us in the short term.

As for the collapse of the colonial system in the future, it is not a matter of a day or two, the British can merge a large number of states in India for the convenience of rule, and we can also split them up because of the need for rule.

After splitting into small colonies, they can also provoke conflicts between them, and it is not so easy for them to become independent.

From an economic point of view, at least for the next thirty or forty years, we will all have something to gain! ”

The Bulgarian colonies had been losing money for a long time, and even in the best of times, they were only marginally profitable.

Although the Colonial Department also has the title of a minister, it was only during Ferdinand's time to show the outside world that Bulgaria attached importance to the colonies, in fact, the Colonial Department has always been the department with the lowest voice in Bulgaria.

Among the top government officials who are now obsessed with India, the Colonial Ministry is the most concerned.

As long as the Indian region is taken, the colonial department will immediately realize the counterattack of Dick Silk and become one of the most important departments in Bulgaria.

Within the government, their biggest supporters are the Ministry of Finance, and the military is also a vested interest.

However, this was not in line with Ferdinand's original national policy, and in the long run, it was not in the interests of the royal family to occupy such a place that could not be ruled forever.

When the colonies were lost in the future, the emperors of that generation would be unlucky, and the prestige of the royal family would inevitably be greatly damaged.

The fact that the British royal family became rubber stamps in later generations is directly related to the decline in the prestige of the royal family caused by the collapse of the colonial system of the British Empire.

In order to prevent this from happening, and to avoid it during Ferdinand's time, Bulgaria's strategy has always been sparsely populated.

This kind of place, it is good to be able to eat it, even if you can't eat it and lose it, no one will pay attention to it, and the influence caused is limited.

But it's a different story in places like India, where the greater the benefits now, the greater the impact when they are lost in the future.

Naturally, little Ferdinand could not only care about the immediate interests and ignore the trouble caused to future generations, so naturally someone had to come out to prevent this from happening.

Tolsky said calmly: "Mr. Donald, Bulgaria's financial situation is good, and we are not urgent about the little economic benefits that we bring to India.

Bulgaria's rise depends on industry, and it is in our long-term interests to seize the resource production area in advance.

Don't forget that there is never a shortage of chasers in this world, and by occupying these places in advance, we can gain an invincible position!

This is also a long-term national policy formulated by Ferdinand the Great, and it has been proven that this is the strategy that is most in the interests of Bulgaria! ”

It is very difficult for any country to change its national policy, especially in a conservative country like Bulgaria, and it is even more difficult to change the national policy that Ferdinand originally formulated.

Fiscally speaking, if the government's revenue is 30 billion leva and the fiscal expenditure is as high as 33 billion levia, then it is very important to increase these 3 billion levia.

If the government's fiscal revenue is 30 billion leva and fiscal expenditure is only 29 billion leva, then these 3 billion leva becomes dispensable.

It is clear that Bulgaria's finances are now healthy, there is no deficit, and the government is not eager to reap the benefits of the colonies.

"Well, the appetite of the French has always been very good, so let them go to the Indian region to make a trip to the thunder, half of India can probably feed them, let's talk about the next one!" Little Ferdinand said with a slight smile

It is inevitable to share the spoils, and the boss who does not share the spoils to the younger brother will not be able to do it for a long time, and now he is still fighting, and he needs the little brothers to make efforts and not promise some benefits, how can they let the family die?

"Your Majesty, the Spaniards don't have much appetite, they ask for the Strait of Gibraltar, as well as part of the British colonies, as long as it has a certain economic value, they are not picky!" Coleman continued

It's not that the Spaniards are not picky, but they don't have the capital to be picky, and because of their strength, it is not easy for them to get the Strait of Gibraltar.

"It can be promised that we don't need to occupy the Strait of Gibraltar directly, and it is also a good option to let the Spaniards control it!" Tolsky spoke

There was no disagreement on this issue, and the most important thing for Bulgaria was to master the canal to the Mediterranean, as long as it was enough to control the Egyptian region.

As long as the Strait of Gibraltar is not in the hands of a powerful country, it will not cause problems for Bulgaria, and it is clear that Spain in this era meets this criterion.

"Go on!" Little Ferdinand nodded and said

"Your Majesty, the next step is the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which wants to expand its territory on the European continent, but of course this desire is not strong.

It is more likely to be a test of the dangers of multi-ethnicity, and Austria-Hungary is well aware of it, and even if it gains territory and population from Germany, it is possible to once again upset the balance that has been established in the country.

This is not in their interest, their real purpose should be to increase their value in order to seek compensation for war reparations or colonies! Coleman analyzed

"Then let Austria-Hungary go and keep the French company, and share it from the British colonies in India.

If we don't let Western Russia get a share, or even other small countries can send them if they have ambitions. Chief of Staff Christophe said indifferently

Anyway, they all decided to give up the British Indian colony, so it would be better to give it to the younger brother, which can't be said that Bulgaria is not generous enough, right?

Taking out the most elite colonies of the British and sharing the spoils is enough to satisfy the vast majority of allies, and as for whether they can hold it, this is their problem.

Prime Minister Tolsky thought for a moment and said: "General Christoph's proposal is very feasible, according to our established plan, after the Great War, the three North American countries will be independent and stated, then the British Empire in addition to the mainland, the richest region is India, followed by South Africa."

We are the main force in this war, and we will divide India to them, and we will annex the African colonies of the British, so that everyone can take what they need.

The rest of Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Southeast Asia, we can annex some of them within our means, and if any of our allies think they are capable, we can share them! ”

Strength determines the distribution of interests, which is the best way to solve the problem, and except for these few big countries, the distribution of interests of the remaining allies does not need to be discussed in the cabinet.

This is the essence of the world, nominally giving them equal status, in fact their voice has not increased, and they want to obtain greater benefits, unless they prove their strength on the battlefield.

Those who are only responsible for waving the flag and shouting, in addition to not erasing the debts of the British after the war, can only follow the symbolic reparations at most.

For example, the Grand Duchy of Finland is responsible for waving the flag, and the Dutch and Belgian government-in-exile can only shout two voices.

"If you have no other objections, then it's decided!" Little Ferdinand said with a smile

How can there be no objections?

However, Bulgaria is not a country that lives on dissent, opposition is okay, as long as it comes up with a better way, and if it can't be taken out, then it will be implemented first!

Of course, this is just a blank check, and if you want to get the conditions promised by Bulgaria, you have to take up arms and do it, and you can only count if you win the enemy.

Little Ferdinand didn't mind doing things that were generous to others, the British Empire occupied most of the world's colonies, and the benefits that could be distributed were too great.

For Bulgaria, the economic gain is South Africa, and the strategic gain is the British naval bases all over the world, the ports in the John Cow colony, which everyone did not mention in advance, and it is obvious that this part will be eaten by Bulgaria.

Having won these regions, Bulgaria will take the lead in the future globalization strategy, which may not be of much significance now, but in the future this is a far-sighted strategic vision!

On April 7, 1940, the Holy League held its second enlarged meeting, and the countries reached a preliminary agreement on the division of interests.

Stimulated by interests, countries have come up with capital, Austria-Hungary has mobilized more than 2.3 million troops, Western Russia has also mobilized more than 1.8 million troops, and even the Spaniards have mobilized more than 1.5 million troops.

Coupled with the million-strong army raised by a group of younger brothers, by the end of May 1940, the number of troops of the Holy Alliance had exceeded 12 million.
