Chapter 869: The Rose of Bulgaria
Stoyanov and Césaire are not as stupid as Mario imagined, they both have their own considerations. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
First of all, Stoyanov did not have a good impression of the so-called Eastern European Union, and Bulgaria has always pursued a policy of currying favor with both sides -- in-depth exchanges and cooperation with Western European countries in the economic sphere and friendly exchanges with the Soviet Union on political and territorial issues. In the case of left and right bows, try to avoid getting involved in political conflicts.
Stoyanov turned a deaf ear to Mario's warnings, and from the point of view of political interests, there was no need for them to follow the orders of the other side at all. His neighbors, mad careerists who would destroy the world without a word, did not question their resolve because of the 1991 upheaval. If it had known that Bulgaria was also involved in this war, the Soviet Union would have desperately expanded the battlefield and invaded Bulgaria from Romania in the south.
His inaction gave Bulgaria a chance at peace.
Not to mention that Bulgaria, unlike Romania and Turkey, had special feelings for the Soviet side. In modern times, they have always regarded Russia as the savior of the Slavs, and in tsarist Russia before them, many Bulgarian intellectuals were educated in Russia and carried out many such agitation activities.
Historically, the Russian army once sent troops to Bulgaria to fight for independence, and many people died, and there is a statue of Tsar Alexander the Liberator in Bulgaria, which has existed since the Warsaw Pact era, and the Bulgarians have a natural national affection for Russia, and Russia not only wants to "liberate the Slavs", but also to dismember the old enemy of Ottoman Turkey.
Moreover, even now, the Russians have been insisting on unofficial occasions that it is the Third Rome, the successor of the old Chamentinous Empire, and that it is inciting the blood of the Slavic peoples. The importance of pan-Slavic nationalism became evident after the slogan of the integration of the working class in Europe could not be realized.
The previous Russian Pan-Slavism had departed from the spiritual essence of resistance, equality, union, and reciprocity among the Slavic peoples pursued by the early Pan-Slavists, who believed that Russia should be the ruler of all Slavs, not an equal intercourse.
But Yanayev proposed that the countries of Eastern Europe unite and develop together to counter the threat from the West. In the early 90s, few countries were willing to accept the Soviet Union's arguments, but as more people saw the faces of Western European bandits, some of the original Eastern European countries began to move closer to the Soviet Union, and Yanayev did not show the arrogance of other Russian leaders, but humbly sought to work together.
In his opinion, it is very stupid to forcibly act as a leader, and even if the Soviet Union had such ambitions, its economic power would not be able to keep up. If he found out that the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance had raised enough of a pack of white-eyed wolves, he wouldn't do it.
The Soviet Union was now a degenerated Soviet revisionist in the eyes of certain communist countries, and since finance and markets appeared on Soviet soil, certain staunch internationalists considered them to have changed. But Yanayev is proud of the fact that he has not abandoned the eight-hour workday, which he initially pursued, in the lifeblood of the economy controlled by some countries.
Moreover, it is a fool's dream to ask Bulgaria to cooperate with Turkey, which has a feud and a new hatred, and their hatred of Turkey is mainly focused on the historical use of Christian Bulgarians as serfs, as well as the notorious blood tribute, the forced use of Christian children as the Yanesari Guards for life, and certain privileges of Islam, and the brutal massacre of Bulgarians by the Turks in modern times, especially by the Bakhibazok semi-regular army. After 1880, Eastern Rumilia was still governed by Ottoman officials, who were absolutely oriented towards the Turks. The Bulgarians staged a secret uprising, only to be discovered by the Ottomans. As a result, the revolt was brutally suppressed, and a large number of Bulgarians were slaughtered by the Turks.
By modern times, most of these historical issues have been transformed into national sentiments, which in turn have given rise to various radical nationalisms. In the eighties, the Bulgarian Communist Party brutally suppressed the Turks, brutally massacring the Turks who refused to convert to the Bulgarian nation and forcibly changed themselves into Slavic national identity.
That's why Stoyanov was emboldened by the Soviet attack. Romania politically offended the Soviet Union, with which Turkey had a feud in the first place. Only Bulgaria, which has always been pro-Slavic, could still have the courage to turn to the West even after the defeat of the Eastern European Union.
The assistant to the president came in and reported to him, "Turkish Ambassador Mustafa asks you to meet, President Stoyanov." ”
Stoyanov was a little surprised by Turkey's reception at this time, but he could generally guess what the other side was thinking. Nodding his head, he said, "I know, you can get busy first." ”
Receiving the Turkish ambassador is the last thing Stoyanov wants to do, Romania and Turkey are the same kind of people, and Bulgaria just wants to fish in troubled waters.
"Ambassador Mustafa is not here to meet us now for the Romanian problem, right?"
Stoyanov did not talk nonsense with the other party, and concisely pointed out his own proposition, "If it is the Romanian problem, then the Bulgarian side has nothing to say." We have always adhered to the principle of non-interference. If you want to send troops to Romania, you can, but your air force should not pass over the territory of Bulgaria. Oh yes, and your ground forces, Bulgaria will not lend you the way. ”
"If you want to fight against the Slavic peoples, go through Bulgaria first."
Mustafa was shocked by Stoyanov's performance, which was completely inside and out. "If Bulgaria were on the same line as the Soviets, you would be regarded as an enemy of Romania and the United States." ”
In response to Mustafa's threat, Stoyanov smiled contemptuously and retorted to the other side's point of view, "We have heard a lot of words about the enemies of the free world before, but in the matter of anti-Turkish anti-shoslin, Bulgaria will never stop, and we have been doing it since the 80s." The national question between the Bulgarians and the Turks will always come first, this will not change, and if you think that it can be vaguely passed by political issues, you are very wrong. ”
"Remember how the Bulgarian Communist Party treated the Turks?"
The Bulgarian government in 1984 introduced a policy of assimilating not only ethnic Turks, but all Muslims. By this time, 900,000 Turks had already been forced to change their names to Slavic, because the state law provided that those who did not change their names were guilty of "crimes against the people", so no one should risk the condemnation of the world to resist the pan-Slavic integration.
At that time, in order to completely assimilate the Turks, the Bulgarian government also introduced an adoption law, which encouraged the Turks to adopt Bulgarian children.
The Standing Committee of the Bulgarian People's Congress voted "for the purpose of revitalizing Bulgarian socialism and the Communist Party and including the Bulgarian-Turkish ethnic group into the socialist family". This grand plan included: the Turks and Muslins must be uniformly changed to Slavic names; It is not allowed to wear Turkish national costume on the streets; The Turkish language is prohibited; Demolition of mosques or conversion to other uses, etc. In just a few days, the spirit was carried out at the grassroots level, and the Turkish people were devastated, even the long-named Imalet Steaming Temple was used as a garbage disposal plant.
It is no wonder that even Yanayev praised Bulgaria as the only Eastern European nation that retained its bloody nature, and the only regret was that the turmoil of the late eighties prevented this great plan from becoming a reality.
The idea of a unified Bulgarian nation was not abandoned even after the Turks became the fourth largest political party in the country.
That's why Stoyanov scoffed at Mustafa's proposal.
"We are not at all interested in the so-called Romanian incidents."
"But we are very interested in the deep hatred left over from the past. Even more than the entanglement of interests that the Eastern European Union brings to us. ”
This move provided Yanayev with a guarantee for the next battle in Romania.
Mustafa was choked with nothing to say.
"Please come back, Turkish Ambassador. Please go back and tell President Césaire that Bulgaria will not join this war, and Turkey will not join, and if you are invited, Bulgaria will form an alliance with Greece. ”
Stoyanov put on a rogue look, "I don't blame me, if you want to blame it, the Ottoman Empire was too dead back then, and it offended almost all the countries now." If you want to go to war, step over the Bulgarian corpses. The Bulgarians don't care if Romania will eventually fall, but if Turkey wants to interfere, we will do our best to stop your advance. Word. ”
Stoyanov showed a seriousness never before seen in the Eastern European conference.
Whether Romania can perish, whether Eastern Europe will become the pocket of the Soviet Union again is none of Stoyanov's business, because Bulgaria is a "traitor" hidden in the whole Union.
The only thing he cares about is whether Turkey will fish in troubled waters. He has not forgotten Turkey's ambition to restore the glory of the Ottomans, and Bulgaria will pull the other side down even if it is burdened with everything.
At the most critical moment, Bulgaria was on the side of the USSR.
Eastern Europe can lose.
Turkey must die! (To be continued.) )
