Chapter 627: Untitled
Boris's announcement of the abdication dropped a bombshell in chaotic Bulgaria. It also announced that this chaos of Bulgaria changing kings ended with Eder's victory.
In fact, when Eder approached Sophia, many smart people had already seen the outcome of the situation, otherwise it would not have been possible for so many people to rush to meet Eder in Roliel, not far from Sophia. And Eder, who has been lingering in Rollier for a long time, naturally received the news.
After reading this news in the newspaper, Edel couldn't help but say to the chief guard beside him. "It seems that Boris is a smart guy who knows how to throw in the towel, but this has also helped us solve a problem."
In fact, Eder, who was waiting in Roller, was waiting for news of Boris's abdication, in addition to receiving the visiting Bulgarian magnates and politicians. This is also Eder's preparation to avoid the deterioration of the situation, as long as Boris announces his abdication, then it will be smoother to receive Bulgaria himself.
Of course, in exchange for Boris's abdication after seeing the situation clearly, after Eder came to power, he would inevitably treat them well. Although they will certainly not live in Bulgaria any longer, many royal possessions cannot be taken with them, and how much they can keep depends on the decision of the new king Eder.
So after Boris took his family with him, Eder went to the palace of two generations of kings, accompanied by a group of Bulgarian officials. This Bulgarian royal palace in the center of the city is also in a strong Austrian style, which also has a lot to do with the invitation of Ferdinand I, a prince from the Saxony Kohali family.
The palace had been cleaned, but the metal hooks that could be seen on the walls from time to time indicated that there had been oil paintings or something there.
And Eder didn't pay much attention to this, he didn't have much pursuit of his personal life, and he focused more on national affairs.
When it comes to national events, then what Bulgaria needs most at the moment is a prime minister. And the only candidate at the moment can only be the chairman of the Social Democratic Party, Kirstev. Whatever Eder's grievances were about letting the two monarchs turn Mr. Kersteff with his baton, he needed to rely on each other for now.
Because at present, only Kersteff has the ability to calm down the chaos quickly, and the other party is also responsible for Eder's entry into Bulgaria.
So after Eder arrived in Sofia, Kersteff was always by his side. And on many occasions Eder also highlighted Kersteff's contributions, as if the thunderous king had never appeared in Bucharest. Of course, whether Edel can finally resolve the resentment hidden in his heart still needs to be shown by Kersteff in the next work.
But now the two of them had a whispered exchange in the palace. "Kersteff, what good advice do you have for those in opposition?"
As soon as Eder came up, he asked about the opposition. Now Eder has taken over Sophia, and the big picture is decided. There were still voices against Eder's rule, some out of fear that the Bulgarian throne was occupied by the Romanian king, some out of Bulgarian pride, and others with other aims. They still enjoy the support of 31 per cent of Bulgarians.
So in this regard, Eder is naturally not at ease, and in the face of his own choice of prime minister, he naturally wants to hear his high opinions. After all, Kersteff has been involved in Bulgarian politics for so long and knows these people very well.
And Kersteff, after hearing Eder's inquiry, knew that his test was coming. This was the first question the king gave himself, but fortunately he had prepared for it.
"Your Majesty, it seems to me that this is very simple to get a quick solution. First of all, it is necessary to make everyone feel that His Majesty has a different atmosphere after he came to power, not only politically but also economically. In addition to the loss of territory caused by the First World War, the domestic political chaos was more often economically extracted by other countries.
After finally repaying foreign debts, the arrival of the economic crisis has left the people without hope. First we need to give them hope, so I propose to let Bulgaria issue bonds in Romania. Use the money to build massive infrastructure like Romania and make it possible for everyone to have a job. And secondly, we should ......"
"These measures are the best solution to the current political turmoil, but we cannot rule out that there are still other diehards. For these people, we need to start from two aspects, the first is to check the source of funding for their political parties and whether there is any external interference. Secondly, we need to investigate whether these people have violated the law and discipline, and we need to uphold the dignity of the law. ”
In Kersteff's narration, it is clear that he is ready to be gentle with these people first, and then use means if he can't. Obviously, how can it be a spotless white lotus to engage in political activities, there must be a lot of shady deeds. Kersteff has an innate advantage over the government, and if he uses the power of the government to conduct a thorough investigation, he can't find anything. Of course, the consequences of this are also serious, because when you step down, other people will do the same to you.
But Kersteff didn't care, because there was no chance that other parties would come to power in the future. As long as the Social Democrats cling to the king's thigh and do not make Bulgaria complain, then no one will be able to turn the tables around.
Moreover, he not only explained the rectification of the political situation, but also the comprehensive transformation of Bulgaria's economy, politics, transportation, people's livelihood, education, and other aspects. Of course, Kersteff doesn't intend to go all the way to Romania, at least to show the public the changes the government is making.
Of course, assistance from Romania is an indispensable support. If you think about it, you also know that if Bulgaria wants to issue bonds in Romania without Romania's backing, how can it be successful.
Within the Social Democrats, however, there was considerable opposition to this. Because the reason is very simple, eat people with soft mouths and short hands. The more Romania gives, the more Bulgaria will need to reciprocate from him. Such as the abolition of customs duties between the two countries, the jurisdiction of the border, and even the possibility of imposing requirements on other aspects, such as the inclusion of Romanian language learning in Bulgarian education. And even in public opinion there were claims against Bulgaria.
Although the two countries are currently one monarch, as long as the Kingdom of Bulgaria exists, it is a goal for Romania to include in its own system.
However, Kersteff didn't pay much attention to this, because he knew that entanglement and resistance with it would cause Romania's dissatisfaction, and he would not be able to integrate more cooperatively and obtain a higher right to speak. In this way, the Bulgarian people of the Macedonian region will be able to return to this big family and obtain at least the status of the second class. Of course, it would be better if they could be on an equal footing with the Romanians.
Because Kersteff found that although Romania pays attention to ethnic equality, in reality various ethnic groups also have different statuses, and the best treatment is of course the Romanian, followed by the Germans, Ukrainians, Bulgarians, followed by other ethnic groups, and the worst is the Hungarians. Of course, these are hidden benefits, for example, in areas with a large number of ethnic Romanians, education, medical care, transportation and other resources are best allocated, followed by other ethnic groups, and so on.
Kerstev's goal was to elevate the Bulgarians among the peoples. Giving Bulgarians a higher voice in the future requires integration. If you resist integration, no one wants to give it status.
And Kersteff's story, Eder is still relatively satisfied. The president of the Social Democratic Party knows what Eder needs, and it is good to deal with smart people, and you know what to do without saying it.
