v4 Chapter 6： , The four-nation agreement? What the **** is this?
1908 is a very crucial year for the future situation of the world. In early May, the UK-Prussian negotiations, which lasted for more than half a year, finally came to an end. On the 18th, the two countries signed the “British-Prussian Agreement” which has a profound impact on world history!
The treaty stipulates:
1. Both parties recognize each other's core interests and support them diplomatically;
2. Bulgaria recognized the hegemony of the British in the Mediterranean region, and the two sides delineated their respective spheres of influence against the Ottoman Empire.
That is: the Egyptian colony, as well as the Euphrates River basin, are the interests of the British, including the Suez Canal!
The British recognize that the Aegean Sea, Asia Minor Peninsula, including Greece, belong to Bulgaria's sphere of influence!
3. The British support Bulgaria’s expansion in the African continent. In return, the British Navy has the right to free navigation in Bulgaria’s overseas colonial ports!
...
Oh, this is also the third power to recognize Bulgaria's sphere of influence after France and Russia, especially the British Empire that dominates the world!
The "British-Protection Agreement" was also unanimously regarded by all sectors of the Bulgarian society as another great diplomatic victory for the Bulgarian government!
Obviously no one is approaching the development crisis! Only Ferdinand knows that it is the British who are cheering up the Allies, otherwise, according to the current development momentum of the Germans, it will not be long before the Allies will admit their counsel!
At least within the Bulgarian government, many people have always advocated joining the Allied Powers. After all, the Germans have the world's first army and two teammates, Austria-Hungary and Italy. If Bulgaria is added, the European continent will be the world of the Allies!
Anyway, there is no major conflict of interest between Bulgaria and the Three-Power Alliance. Even with the Austria-Hungarian Empire, which is already on the border, the two sides have not had a major conflict!
Oh, if it weren't for Ferdinand to know how bad the two teammates of Italy and Austria-Hungary are, he would think so too!
Had it not been for the strength of the pro-Russian faction in Bulgaria and the strong suppression of Ferdinand, Bulgaria would have fallen to the Allies!
Since the Russians lost in the Far East, the French-Russian Agreement is no longer an opponent of the Three-Power Alliance, and the balance of the European continent has been broken!
Later, thanks to the efforts of the French, the newly rising Bulgaria was drawn into the Allied Powers, which reluctantly balanced the strength of the two sides, otherwise the current situation in the European continent will be more severe!
If the British cannot stand up to support the Allied Powers, a compromise between Bulgaria and Russia with Germany will soon happen. Anyway, there is no major contradiction between them and they can be reconciled at any time!
This is something that John Bull cannot tolerate. Once Russia and Russia choose to compromise, there is no doubt that the French will succumb to the Germans. Hatred is not the opponent of the bayonet!
...
The time for the Germans to dominate the European continent is not far away. This was the opinion of many people at that time!
John Bull finally couldn't help it. It was not easy to get Bulgaria and the Russians on board. Historically, the Russians and the Austro-Hungarian Empire had serious conflicts in the Balkans, but they no longer exist.
With the strong rise of Bulgaria, the Russians were hit hard in the Far East, and the conflict of core interests between Russia and Austria no longer exists.
Now the Russians don’t know whether to cry or laugh. The Bulgaria, which has been supported by one hand, has lost control, and now they have to join the powers club; similarly, due to the rise of Bulgaria, the Russians have less pressure on the European continent for national defense. a lot of!
No matter what the Russians think in their hearts, anyway, the British are happy, and the rise of Bulgaria means that they have another **** that they can use!
If it weren’t for the Germans now the main enemy, there would be thugs to stop the expansion of the Russians in the Near East!
The British are still very confident about this. As long as they are lured and provoked, they are not afraid that Russia and Russia will not turn their faces!
Of course this is the future. Now the main task of the London government is to protect Russia and Russia against the Germans in Eastern Europe?
The British are different from the French. The French government paid real money to get Bulgaria and the Russian Empire to board the ship, while the British are generous!
Ferdinand knew that the bait was poisonous, but in the face of interest, he chose to swallow the bait. Anyway, the French had paid for it once, and the British bait was nothing more than tied the rope more deadly!
Moreover, even if a world war breaks out, the enemies that Bulgaria will directly face are all weak. As long as they don't become the first bird, the overall strategy is still safe!
...
Oh, shortly after the "British-Russian Agreement" was signed, the negotiations between Britain and Russia came to an end. On May 28, the two countries signed the "British-Russian Agreement", and the Allied Powers were officially established!
Due to the entry of the British, the influence of the Allied Powers has greatly increased. The "Three-Nation Agreement" that was originally at a disadvantage has now become the "Four-Nation Agreement", but has suppressed the Three-Nation Alliance on the European continent!
The British once again used diplomatic means to let the world know who is the boss of this era!
At this moment, the three countries of Germany, Italy, and Austria were silent. The politicians of Britain, France, Russia, and Bulgaria were all celebrating this great diplomatic victory. As long as Ferdinand shook his head secretly, he knew that a world war was no longer possible. avoided!
...
"Your Majesty, can we attack Libya?" Petrov asked cautiously
Ferdinand shook his head and thought to himself: The influence of the British in this era is really strong. As soon as the Four-Nation Agreement was established, the military began to be unable to bear it!
"No, it's not the time yet!"
Ferdinand decisively chose to suppress the main combatants. From a military standpoint, the Ottoman navy was greatly injured after the last Marmara battle. The Sudanese government was limited by its financial resources and has not made any purchases until now. Over a battleship.
Even the tonnage of the Ottoman navy is slightly larger than that of the Bulgarian navy. Unfortunately, the 80,000 tons has fallen behind the iron armored fleet of the times, and it really can't beat the 50,000 tons new fleet!
Not to mention the army, how many soldiers did the Ottoman Empire have in Libya? General Popov, Secretary of State of the Army, said that only two regiments can easily defeat them, and one division can occupy Libya!
This is really not bragging. Although Libya has an area of 1.7 million square kilometers, except for the coastal zone, most of the other areas are deserts. It is not too difficult to occupy it!
Anyway, with the support of cattle, you can get supplies from Egypt, and Tunisia and Algeria on the other side are French turf, you can also get help!
But Ferdinand knows that Libya and Albania are completely different concepts!
The Italians are not in conflict with Bulgaria on the Albanian issue. It is the Italian army who just lost the battle in Ethiopia. Even the confident radicals in the country do not think their soft-footed army can compete with Bulgaria. The army competes!
It is human nature to bully and fear hardship. It is impossible for the Italians to challenge an impossible opponent for an unreachable colony!
But Libya is different. Although its economic value is not high, and its strategic value is not good, isn't the African continent already divided up?
If you give up again, where else can the Italians go? Ethiopia? Their army veterans said that whoever loves to go, they are a huge counsel anyway!
The army is counseling, but it does not mean that the navy is also counseling! At least now, the Italian navy still has the strength to suppress Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire!
The reason why they haven't done it yet is mainly because of their fear of the Ottoman Empire and the attitude of the Germans!
Yes, the Italians are still afraid of the Ottoman Empire. In history, if it weren't for the help of the British and forbidding the Ottoman army to pass from Egypt, the Italians might not have been able to win the Italian-Turkish war!
Although the Allied Powers were established, Russia, France, and Bulgaria assumed military obligations to each other, and the cunning British retained the right to act freely!
If Bulgaria gets involved with the Italians for the Libyan issue, and the world war is detonated ahead of time, but the British are watching the theater next to it, then Bulgaria will have to go desperately with Germany!
After all, the Germans have not yet reached their peak, and the navy is not yet an opponent of the French. As long as the United Kingdom plays a role in the back, in theory, the three countries of France, Russia, and Bulgaria and the three countries of Germany, Austria and Italy are still capable of a battle. !
