I am posting this single chapter at this time mainly because Mantou has something to say to everyone. It has been a year since Mantou wrote the book, and he burst into tears just talking about the update, which hurt the hearts of many readers. Especially here, I need to express my gratitude to Tianruo W.
My love letter friend apologized. He gave it to the leader after I put it on the shelf, but he got mad at my update. Here I would like to say sorry to all the readers who like this book because of the update problem.
"I'm sorry everyone, I was too willful before."
Of course, I am not posting a single chapter just to apologize for the update, but to discuss the completion time of this book. Some readers and friends have advised me before: This book's performance is so bad now, you should just finish it. I know they are this
For my own good, the teacher's procrastination is not an option. And because of the procrastination issue, my book is probably on the editor's blacklist, so I won't even think about recommending it.
So I want to ask everyone, should I finish the book after World War I, or should I continue writing until World War II?
In fact, for the following description, Mantou still thinks that he can write a lot, including intervention in the Hungarian Revolution, the Soviet-Polish War, and the Turkish Revolution. In addition, the struggle with the Soviet Union over the Ukraine region is also a very important focus. As for the post-war
The occupation of the Ruhr area, the Great Depression, the Beer Can Incident, the rise of the Mustache, the Spanish Civil War and other inter-war events can all be written about.
Here is an explanation on why Bulgaria is not annexed. For the current Romania, there is only one opportunity to annex Bulgaria, and that is the period between the Anschluss of Germany and Austria and the dismemberment of the Czech Republic. Before that, it was impossible. As for why this has a lot to do with geopolitics
It doesn't matter, everyone, please listen to me, a half-hearted keyboard geography enthusiast.
First of all, before World War I, this was absolutely impossible, because there were two father figures in the Balkans, Austria-Hungary and Russia, who Romania could never mess with. Before World War I, the only country in the Balkans that could bully and carve up territory was the Ottoman Empire, but unfortunately Romania did not border it. As for Istanbul,
This is Russia's pet peeve and he will stab anyone who touches him.
After the First World War, Austria-Hungary disintegrated and Russia changed its color. Is there any chance? Yes, but this opportunity is not worth it. Because Ukraine is much stronger than Bulgaria in every aspect, and even ethnic integration is much easier for Ukrainians
.So the key point for Romania to become stronger after the end of World War I was Ukraine.
And it takes time to digest these areas, time, three important things about time. This time is measured in units of ten years (in fact, it is best to measure it in units of twenty years, just look at Wanwan now and you will know). Wait until it is almost digested
, Germany's rearmament has begun again. At this time, it is completely possible to take advantage of the German-Austrian Anschluss to pursue Romania's annexation of Bulgaria. At this time, whether it is population or economic factors, such resistance can be minimized. (The merger after World War I
, Bulgaria’s resistance rate is too high, and it might become a burden)
Then there is the problem of Romania’s inconvenience in entering and exiting the Mediterranean. This is very simple. Even if you enter the Mediterranean, you can only win soy sauce. It still needs World War II to break the situation. There are two key points here, the Suez Canal and Istanbul. Among them, Istanbul must win the main and
Turkey can just sign a warship navigation agreement (taking advantage of the favorable factors before the Battle of Poland in World War II to force Turkey to travel freely through warships. If it doesn't pass, it can win it in one fell swoop after annexing Bulgaria).
As for the Suez Canal, it must be at war with Britain, so this is also an important moment for Romania to lay out the Arab world. (After World War I, this was the sphere of influence of Britain and France. Romania did not have much energy to take care of it. There were too many things in the country to deal with.
