Chapter 663： Paul Merger (Part 2)

The latest website: The Bulgarian government's attack on the opposition party caused an uproar in the country. However, because newspapers and radio stations are strictly controlled by the government, this disturbance is one-sided support for the government in the country.

Many newspapers have published comments criticizing the opposition party's conspiracy to armed riots. The most severely criticized companies have all made remarks against the merger before, and it seems that their attitudes have changed quite quickly.

As for the truth of the facts, this is not important, because the government gets the results it wants.

As for this, the public's attitude towards the former opposition party has changed drastically. If they still understood it before, then they are disgusted by it now. Because the Bulgarian economy is currently good, everyone wants to live a stable life. No one wants to return to the previous state, and it makes sense for the opposition party to be abandoned.

Unlike domestic voices that are one-sided, foreign voices are also one-sided. But the reverse is true. Foreign media are basically critical of Bulgaria's attempt to wipe out the opposition parties.

They say this is a retreat of Bulgarian democracy and a reversal of history. Felakov, who led this arrest, was the executioner, and the envoy behind it, Kelstef, was a political viper, destroying Bulgaria’s political structure.

But can the voice of foreign public opinion affect Bulgaria?

Yes and no. It can be affected because how many people believe the truth abroad, because they think they are in control of the truth. No, that's because these people are only a minority and cannot influence the situation in Bulgaria at all.

Therefore, the voices of foreign media are irrelevant to Bulgaria.

Compared with the many waves in Bulgaria, Romania is much better. The Romanian people's attitude towards the merger of the two countries is too much. For them, because of Romania's strong national strength, it is more appropriate to say that it is not a merger than an annexation.

However, although the public is optimistic about the merger of the two countries, the government still dare not relax.

At the meeting, Prime Minister Mihalaki immediately arranged for various officials to strictly control Romanian public opinion and steer it in a favorable direction for the merger.

The public opinion monitored by the government also sang praises for the merger one-sidedly. Among them, the Romanian Daily, the largest newspaper in Romania, commented on the merger.

The merger of Romania and Bulgaria will benefit both countries. Among them, Bulgaria can obtain the dividends of Romania's development, and can use its status in the kingdom after the merger to provide centripetal force for the Bulgarians in Macedonia and Thrace, which is conducive to its vision of Greater Bulgaria.

As for Romania, it can also benefit later, first of all, it can expand the depth of its strategy. As we all know, most of the Romanian territory is plain, especially when facing the Soviet Union in the east, the terrain is dominated by plains. Romania, which lacks strategic in-depth turnover, cannot tolerate any mistakes at all, which is very detrimental to the Romanian division. Now that it has acquired the Bulgarian mountains, Romania has more room for maneuver when responding to the threat of the Soviet Union.

In addition, Bulgaria is located at the crossroads of the Balkan Peninsula. Romania holds this crossroads, and it will be more handy to exert influence on the Balkans.

And after the merger of the two countries, Romania will be only one step away from the Mediterranean. In the future, we have reason to believe that Romanian warships will get their own ports in the Mediterranean. I am optimistic that Romania will extend its influence to the Mediterranean.

This report caused an uproar in Romania. It's not that the people are worried about their undisguised ambitions in the Mediterranean, but they are cheering that Romania finally wants to look to the Mediterranean.

As Romania's national strength gradually approaches that of France, the country has long hoped that Romania will show its strength in the world. However, because of Romania's position, they have always had high expectations for rushing out of the Black Sea.

After Edel ascended the Bulgarian throne, many people in the country have been obsessed with the Black Sea Strait. They believe that as long as the time is right, Bulgaria will have no problem in capturing Istanbul.

However, unlike popular optimism, the Romanian government has never had an accurate positioning for Istanbul.

Do you want to say that Romania doesn't want here? Yes, I want to dream. But this position is not so easy to take. Not to mention the attitudes of countries such as Britain and France, the strength of Turkey alone makes Romania hesitate. Although Turkey's domestic economy is much lower than Romania, its population of more than 20 million is a big problem. In addition, Turkey is mostly mountainous. It is easy to form a war of attrition against Turkey. It is not worth Romania to do for an Istanbul.

This topic has gone far, and now as time approaches, the attitudes of the two countries towards the merger have become more and more distinct. Public opinion is even more optimistic about the future after the merger.

When the final vote was held, in addition to the two governments, Edel, as the co-sovereign, stood up and personally called for the people to vote on the merger.

And Edel’s appeal was also immediate. The people of both countries respect the wise monarch from the heart. Of course, Bulgaria can be even worse, but in Romania, Edel’s words definitely work.

So in the end, up to 87.4% of people in Romania agreed to the merger, while in Bulgaria 67.9% agreed to the merger. After the announcement of the voting results of the two countries, it attracted a lot of cheers.

The merged kingdom will also be corrected to the United Kingdom of Bulgaria and Romania ~ www.novelhall.com ~ referred to as the Kingdom of Paul. The governments of the two countries will also be merged into one government, in which the position of prime minister will still be held by Mihalake, while the prime minister of Bulgaria Kelstev will assume the newly created position of deputy minister. Don't think that Kelsteff has been wronged by this position, and its power is not much lower than that of the Prime Minister.

In addition to the government, the parliament will also be merged together. In order to make parliamentary seats equal to the people, Bulgaria has started to cut parliamentarians. Now with the merger of the two countries, 35 Bulgarian parliamentarians will be 158 Romanian parliamentarians. Form a new parliament.

In the military, it's even simpler. Bulgaria’s army of less than 30,000 will be directly reorganized into six divisions together with the armed police. Its equipment and numbers are the same as other divisions.

In addition, in response to the fact that the Bulgarian army was too in contact with politics before, the merged army rectified it. If you want to participate in politics, you should take off your uniform. If you don't want to take off your uniform, you can withdraw from all political groups. At the same time, it is strictly forbidden to discuss politics in the military. After this whole set, the political attributes of the original Bulgarian army were completely eliminated, and the essential nature of the army was restored.

The merger of Romania and Bulgaria affected not only the two kingdoms, but also other countries.
