This is not because they are royalists. In fact, they are also deeply dissatisfied with the current Boris III. But who made Kerstev propose that the King of Romania should also serve as the King of Bulgaria? This surprised the two generals.
.
Facing the surprised two generals, Kerstev said, "Actually, it doesn't matter. Wasn't the Austro-Hungarian Empire previously composed of the Kingdom of Austria and the Kingdom of Hungary? As long as we ensure that our Kingdom of Bulgaria is respected and exercises its rights
Without being violated, why not the King of Romania be our monarch."
"But have you ever thought about whether such a result can be accepted by the people in the country? Even if the people accept it, there will be disputes between the two countries, and whether the wise King Edel favors Romania or Bulgaria."
General Ivanov expressed his doubts directly, and General Georgiev was even more direct.
"This is a complete annexation of Bulgaria to Romania. This act is a betrayal of the country."
Faced with the reaction of the two generals, Kerstev had already expected it. To be honest, at the beginning of this crazy plan, Kerstev himself felt that it was unrealistic. However, after seeing the current situation in Bulgaria, this idea became more and more popular.
It so firmly occupied his mind that he couldn't help but search the fragmented Austro-Hungarian information to get the conclusion he wanted.
Within the Social Democratic Party, no more than one person knew that he had this idea. At that time, these people were also opposed to Kerstev's idea. After his patient analysis and explanation, these people also changed their minds.
.And now Kerstev plans to use the same method to brainwash the two generals and let them understand the intention.
"Two generals, I have a question here. How long will it take for us to work hard to restore Bulgaria to the state of Greater Bulgaria? There is a premise here, and it is with Romania's firm allies."
Great Bulgaria is a word that makes the two generals excited. Bulgarians have always been reluctant to part with it. However, both of them know that without major changes in the situation in Europe, there is no possibility for Bulgaria. Even with Romania.
They were willing to be the younger brother of the alliance, but Romania had its own interests and it was impossible to make a big fight over it. When faced with this issue, the two of them remained silent.
Kerstev took advantage of the situation and pursued. "If we replace the king with His Majesty Eder, then at least we will have enough advantages. I have fully understood the Austro-Hungarian Empire before and also understood its dual system.
This system actually brings too many benefits to the Hungarians as the weaker party. At least when making decisions about the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Austria must respect Hungary’s attitude. In fact, this is where I think there is an opportunity. It can
Romania's strength is used to help us regain our homeland, because we simply cannot do it on our own."
Kerstev's words finally caused the two generals to loosen up. General Ivanov said, "Then why should we let the Kingdom of Romania use its power to help us regain our homeland?"
"Based on geographical location."
Kerstev pointed to the map of the Balkans behind him and said. "I have studied Romania and know that it is currently building warships on a large scale to expand their navy. Although Romania claims to be targeting the Soviet Union, I don't believe that they are not interested in the Mediterranean.
Interest. And as long as we have a common monarch with them, we can guide them to peek into the Mediterranean. This is also the greatest advantage we have.
And as long as we merge with Romania, its influence will be greatly enhanced in the Balkans. With these two advantages in hand, it is impossible for them not to be tempted. Then we can use this as a condition to negotiate a result with Romania that is beneficial to us. Even
We Bulgarians occupy the majority of the South Dobroga region, and maybe we can also talk to Romania."
After Kerstev finished speaking, the two generals exchanged views with their eyes. General Georgiev said, "I have reservations about your idea. Although I also think that based on Bulgaria's
It is indeed very difficult to regain the lost land due to our strength. But the Kingdom of Bulgaria should and must be retained, but no matter who the king is, no one can let Bulgaria lose its motherland."
Faced with Georgiev's words, Kerstev also replied. "General Georgiev, I have seen your patriotic enthusiasm. But please believe that I also love this country deeply.
Whether this idea can be realized not only requires our acceptance, but also the Romanian side’s willingness.”
And Kerstev's words gave the two generals a hint of information, that is, this idea was thought up by Kerstev himself. It was not the Romanian idea behind him. This information is very important, at least it shows that Romania has not annexed Bulgaria.
heart of.
So Ivanov said. "Your idea is very unexpected, and we are a little unprepared for it. However, after your explanation, I think this matter is too important and needs to be discussed."
Under the guidance of Ivanov, Georgiev also said. "Both of your plans can be seen to be the result of careful selection. I don't know how to choose. Let's do this next time."
Let’s talk and discuss it carefully.”
The two generals planned to say goodbye, but Kerstev did not express anything. He only said politely, "Then we will talk about this topic next time."
Then Kerstev personally put the two of them into the car. After they all left, Propaganda Minister Rilchev stepped forward and asked, "What was the result of the negotiation?"
"I can't say it's great, but it's not bad. At least I can confirm that General Georgiev of the Link Group has no objection to the establishment of another king."
Hearing Kerstev's words, Rilchev was shocked. "Why did you tell them about this?"
Seeing the somewhat excited expression of the Propaganda Minister, Kerstev said calmly. "They will know about this sooner or later. It would be better to inform them in advance and give them a vaccination. By the way, let you be in the army.
How is the publicity going?"
Faced with the party chairman's inquiry, Rilchev told the truth. "I have sent people to publicize the places they like to go around the military camp, and the effect is pretty good. At present, many soldiers have shouted our words, and would rather be other people."
Part of the country, if they can help restore Bulgaria to its former glory."
"We still need to continue to increase publicity to the military. I estimate that the content of today's conversation will be leaked soon, and we will be busy by then."
Yes, Kerstev said it on purpose. He had a crazy plan in his heart. He didn't tell anyone about it, and now the plan can be implemented.
