Chapter 571 If you have the ability, make a coup
After Polis became the king of Bulgaria, the development of Bulgaria was obvious to all. Everyone attributed the changes to George's remote control and the help of the Russian Empire. Few people noticed that Bolgaria's development was obvious to all. Leith's role in this.
George is in East India at the moment, not in Bulgaria at all, so this sentence must not have been what George taught Polis.
Although the Russian Empire was many times more powerful than the Kingdom of Romania, Ferdinand had never envied George before.
Now Ferdinand felt a little bit envious.
Fortunately, after Elizabeth and Polis get married, Polis can be regarded as half of Ferdinand's son.
Polis still had reservations about Ferdinand, his prospective father-in-law, otherwise Ferdinand would be even more surprised.
Unlike George, Polis is not optimistic about the prospects of the Balkan Alliance. In Polis' view, the Balkan Alliance should be disbanded after the Second Balkan War.
The Balkan countries are not big, but their ambitions are not small. Sooner or later, the entire Balkan Alliance will be dragged into a war by a certain country.
At present, it seems that this country is most likely to be the Kingdom of Serbia.
Given the size of the Russian Empire, it was cautious when it came to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but the Kingdom of Serbia actually dared to take the initiative to provoke. Polis did not know whether this behavior was fearless or reckless.
Compared with Ferdinand, Polis trusted Vasily more.
Since George was not around, Polis asked Vasily for advice.
"Your worries are justified, but at the same time you should also know that even if the Kingdom of Serbia swallows its anger, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will not stop expanding."
Vasily also knew that there were hidden dangers in the Balkan Alliance, But that's part of the price.
Since the Russian Empire wants to use the Balkan countries to fight against the German-Austrian alliance, it must bear the consequences.
Expelling the Kingdom of Serbia from the Balkan Alliance will certainly avoid the serious consequences of dragging down the entire Balkan Alliance, but it will directly push the Kingdom of Serbia into the German-Austrian Alliance, which is also unacceptable to the Russian Empire.
“Can we establish a more reasonable mechanism to deal with increasingly complex situations?”
Polis also has tigers in mind.
“Time is the answer.”
Vasily did not answer directly.
Give George more time, Vasily believes that George can find a way.
The problem now is that war may break out at any time, and George has no time to adjust the Balkan Alliance.
After Austria-Hungary issued a war threat to Serbia, Nicholas sent a special envoy to mediate the conflicts between Austria-Hungary and Serbia.
At present, mediation seems to be in vain, both parties have not restrained themselves, and the situation is becoming increasingly tense.
"Should we mobilize?"
Polis also had a premonition that war was approaching.
"This is not something you should care about. Go date Liz and don't miss the good time."
Vasily hopes that Polis understands that the most important thing for him now is to go as soon as possible Confirm your relationship with Elizabeth.
How to deal with the Austro-Hungarian Empire is a matter for George and Vasily. As long as their elders are not dead, it will not be Polis's turn to go to the front line.
Later, Vasily took the initiative to find Ferdinand and Georgi, hoping that the Kingdom of Romania and the Kingdom of Greece could play a greater role in the Balkan Alliance.
Ferdinand and Georgi were both full of complaints.
After Polis became king of Bulgaria, both Ferdinand and Georgi knew that Bulgaria was about to take off.
But no one expected that Bulgaria could fly so fast and so high.
Look at the brand new Adrianople.
Then I think about Bucharest and Athens, which were originally passable but shabby compared to New Adrianople, and I feel sad.
Is the gap between my son and my brother so big?
Ferdinand is obsessed with the airport and wants the Kingdom of Romania to play a greater role in the Balkan Alliance, provided that the Russian Empire helps the Kingdom of Romania establish an air force.
Georgi hoped that the Russian Empire could help the Greek Kingdom improve its naval strength.
"The air force and navy are both secondary. The most important goal now is to deal with the threat of the Austro-Hungarian Empire."
Vasily hoped that Ferdinand and Georgi could distinguish their priorities.
The Russian Empire is not a wishing fountain. Helping others is also saving yourself.
Once the war breaks out, the Russian Empire will definitely place its main force on the Russian-German border to prepare for German attack. The Balkans may have to face the threat of the Austro-Hungarian Empire alone.
Also add the Kingdom of Italy.
Even if the Russian Empire wants to assist the Balkan Alliance, it will have to wait until the German threat is eliminated.
Ferdinand and Georgi had troubles that they could not tell.
Not long after Georgi took the throne, the domestic situation has not yet stabilized. Considering the coup tradition of the Greek Military Alliance, Georgi does not want to continue to strengthen the strength of the military alliance.
Romania's King Carol I has been ill for a long time and has not appeared in public for a long time. Once Carol I dies, it is hard to say whether Ferdinand will successfully succeed to the throne.
Carol I was not originally Romanian. Like Polis, he was invited by Romania to become the king of Romania.
Since Carol I had no children, the crown prince Ferdinand was also invited.
Romania also criticized the pro-Russian stance of Carol I and Ferdinand. Some radical people believed that Romania should join the German-Austrian Alliance, while others believed that Romania should protect itself wisely and not form an alliance with any party.
I have to say, biodiversity is really eye-opening.
“If you want to get help from the empire, you must first prove your worth.”
Vasily is cold and cold, he is not as warm as George. Georgi's heart moved, and when he looked at Vasily, there was something more in his eyes.
Due to the coup of the military alliance, Georgi became the king of the Kingdom of Greece.
After becoming king, Georgi felt threatened by the military alliance.
Which country has such a monster as a military alliance, the king cannot sleep.
George was extremely powerful in the Russian Empire, but George never interfered in the internal affairs of the Russian Empire. Whoever Nicholas wanted to be the prime minister was allowed to be prime minister. Even if he had any objections, George would not say anything.
This is the basis of mutual trust between Nicholas and George.
Venizelos has the ability to launch a coup at any time, and is in an absolutely powerful position in his relationship with Georgi.
Georgi is not trying to burn bridges, he just hopes to have the ability to protect himself and cannot be dismissed just by being dismissed.
In front of Ferdinand, Georgi said nothing.
The next day Georgi took the initiative to visit Vasily.
“What do you want to do? Do you need me to send an army to Athens to protect your safety?”
Vasily responded to every request, but in Georgi's view, this seemed more like inviting a wolf into the house.
"I want to form a force that is loyal to me and will not be controlled by anyone but me."
Georgi is not stupid and wants to firmly control his destiny in his own hands.
"Do you have anyone you can trust?"
Vasili really has no intention of occupying the magpie's nest.
There are limits to the expansion of the Russian Empire. Even the Slavic Balkans, the Russian Empire has not annexed it, and it is even less possible for Greece.
It’s not that Russia doesn’t want to, it’s that it can’t.
“Yes, but not many.”
As a prince, Georgi still has some close friends.
But as for whether it can support an army, it's hard to say.
"What can I do for you?"
Vasily and Georgi hit it off immediately.
Vasily hoped that the Kingdom of Greece could expand its army.
Georgi wanted to have troops loyal to him.
Perfect!
"Weapons, equipment, and training instructors——"
Since Georgi wants to bypass the military alliance, he can only rely entirely on the Russian Empire.
“I hope the instructor is from the Amur Military District.”
Georgi, who has served in the Danish Navy for a long time, knows the Russian Empire too well.
Even the most elite Guards of the Russian Empire and the Amur Military District are two completely different concepts.
They are also Cossacks. The Cossacks who serve in the Guards are like puppets. They have a single brain. After being cursed by the army chaplain, their IQ is only 50.
The Cossacks in the Amur Military District are like ferocious Siberian wolves. Having both the bravery and fighting skills of the Cossacks and the discipline that the Guards did not have, in Georgi's view, he was the perfect soldier.
“Instructors in the Amur Military Region are not cheap——”
Vasily was very happy, Georgi was not without merit, at least he had a good vision.
“No problem.”
Georgi could still afford this amount of money.
When Georgi left Vasily's office, Ferdinand was visiting Catherine.
Ekaterina was full of pride that her eldest grandson became the king of Bulgaria. She failed to make George the tsar of the Russian Empire, but George made Polis the king of Bulgaria. This fully proved that Yuri Each generation of the Yev family is getting stronger and stronger.
After learning that Polis was in love with Elizabeth, Ekaterina could no longer bear it and took the initiative to come over to check on her eldest grandson.
If Polis and Elizabeth marry, their child will become the crown prince of the Kingdom of Bulgaria. This is related to the future of the Yuriev family and must be cautious.
To her granddaughter-in-law, whom she had never met, Catherine was generous and gave her a set of Elizabeth I jewelry.
Elizabeth I was the tenth czar of the Romanov dynasty and the sixth emperor of the Russian Empire. Although she also came to power through a coup, she was considered a "smart and kind Russian empress".
If it were anyone else, most of them would think that this set of jewelry has a bad meaning.
Ekaterina didn't care.
If Polis is ineffective, even if Catherine gives Polis a golden mountain, she will not be able to keep his throne.
Even if the throne is taken away, the descendants of the Yuriev family will still succeed in the future.
Although in the Russian Empire, Catherine, the empress dowager, was not popular.
But outside the Russian Empire, Catherine was still legendary.
Especially after George became famous, Ekaterina's status increased crazily.
