Chapter 749 Yugoslavia
After the end of the world war, Britain continued to have troubles. First there was the economic crisis, then the Washington Naval Conference, and then the independence of Ireland and South Africa. It seemed that the sun never set on the empire, and it seemed that its life would soon be over. .
Based on Little Nicholas’ understanding of Britain, the British will definitely not sit still and wait for death, so the riots in Fiume Port must be related to the British.
"The most fatal flaw of the Slavs is that they are too kind. We should learn from some people and kill all the indigenous people, so that no one will oppose us——"
Xiao Ni Gu La's words made many people confused.
Little Nicholas didn't mention anyone by name. Whoever dared to answer the question at this time would be the one who answered the call.
If the traditional skill of the Hebrews is usury, then the traditional skill of the Anglo-Saxons is genocide.
The two belong to the same species, neither one is nobler than the other.
“Tell Polis that if his knife is not fast enough, I can send someone to help him!”
Little Nicholas is full of murderous intent, and he will kill his whole family to deal with the rebels , reasoning is useless.
If Nicholas had toughened up his tactics and killed all the rebels, he would not have gone to the point of betrayal and separation.
"Your Excellency the Grand Duke, you can't do this-"
Tony Meret was shocked, this was not what he wanted.
“You want to teach me how to do things?” Little Nicholas looked arrogant: “You are not qualified yet!”
Tony Meret retreated because he still didn’t know the Slavs well enough.
Little Nicholas didn't know Polis well enough, and Polis didn't need his help at all.
Unlike Nicholas, Polis had zero tolerance for rebellion.
The situation in the Kingdom of Bulgaria is far more complicated than that in Russia.
After the end of the world war, the Kingdom of Bulgaria expanded greatly, and its land area suddenly expanded from 110,000 square kilometers before the outbreak of the world war to 290,000 square kilometers.
The current full name of the Kingdom of Bulgaria is: Kingdom of Bulgaria-Serbia-Albania-Croatia-Slovenia.
When the World War just ended, Croatia and Slovenia were eager to get rid of the rule of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and did not resist annexation to Bulgaria.
In order to eliminate the resistance of the locals, Polis formed a parliament dominated by local gentry and tried to use tolerant policies to complete the assimilation of the locals.
What Polis did not expect was that the soft policy not only failed to have the desired effect, but also made the local government intensify its efforts to demand the establishment of an autonomous government and a state within a state.
On January 27, Polis decided to change the name of the country to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, cancel the autonomous parliaments of various regions, and appoint officials from Adrianople to directly manage various regions.
This decision was strongly opposed by Albania and Croatia, as well as Slovenia.
George was too familiar with these Spring and Autumn writings. Only a small group of people in Albania, Croatia and Slovenia opposed the direct rule of the kingdom. Most of the people yearned for a stable life and did not care whether they were ruled by local squires or officials sent by Adrianople.
"The Bulgarian army is loyal to Adrianople. Anyone who opposes Adrianople will be completely eliminated."
Vasily is very sorry, he is already ready to send troops to Bulgaria To prepare for the counter-rebellion, Polis unexpectedly took it upon himself without seeking help from Constantinople.
George looked out the window at the Bosporus and was silent.
Before Christmas, Russia officially started moving its capital, and government departments began to move to Alexandria in batches.
The Ministry of National Defense will move to Alexandria in June, and Vasily insists on placing the Balkan Military District headquarters in Constantinople to guard the gateway to the Black Sea.
"Don't interfere unless Adrianople requests it."
George drew a red line and regarded this turmoil as a test for Polis. Polis didn't think too much. He kept Yekaterina's advice in mind and would never show mercy to the rebels.
“Your grandfather was assassinated by the assassin because he was too kind to the assassin; Nikki also lost the throne because of weakness; if you want to become the czar of Yugoslavia, you must be tough Get up.”
Ekaterina has transferred all her love for George to Polis.
Polis is still the king, not the tsar.
The tsar is not unique to Russia. From the perspective of Eastern culture, changing the king to a tsar is similar to Mount Tai.
"In the past month, I have sentenced 15,000 death sentences——"
Polis is not bloodthirsty, but there are endless rebels, so Polis has no choice but to kill chickens and scare monkeys.
15,000 death sentences does not mean killing 15,000 people. Some people who have committed many evil deeds may receive 17 or 18 death sentences for several crimes.
“No matter how many times a person like this dies, it will not be a pity to die.”
Ekaterina did not take it seriously. Her attitude towards ordinary people was different from George.
George firmly believes that history is created by ordinary people. Water can carry a boat or capsize it.
Ekaterina, like Alexandra, worshiped Emperor Ye who had the same name as her.
When Emperor Ye first ascended the throne, he also encountered strong opposition from the Russian nobles.
Ye Di then killed them all until blood flowed into rivers, and eventually became the most respected female tsarina in Russian history.
The standard for evaluating a tsar is not how many people you kill, but how much benefit you bring to the country.
"We can't go too far. We still need to use the local squires to maintain local rule."
Polis is still calm and has not been dazzled by power.
The most common mistake made by big figures is to mistake the strength of the platform for their own strength, and ultimately lead the entire country on the road to destruction.
“If you think so, Yugoslavia will never become Russia.”
Ekaterina and Polis talked a lot and ate very little for dinner. Another half glass of wine.
Early the next morning, George received a telegram from Polis, saying that Catherine died peacefully in her sleep that night.
George and Anne take the train to Adrianople.
Polis described the events of the night in detail, and doctors confirmed that Ekaterina died of cardiac arrest.
The only thing that comforted George was that Ekaterina did not suffer any pain.
George was very sad. Shortly after his rebirth, Ekaterina was forced to leave Russia. He waited until George went to Amur to "seize the feudal vassal" before George and Ekaterina lived together again.
From the assassination of Ya Er in 1881 to the present, Ekaterina gave all her love to George. In Ekaterina’s bedroom, there are still unfinished works of Ekaterina wool gloves.
That was knitted by Ekaterina herself for George.
Although Catherine did not have the name of queen, her death still attracted widespread attention. Not only did the British King George V come to Adrianople in person, but William II, who was exiled in the Netherlands, also came to Adrianople with the Queen of the Netherlands. Anbao condolences.
