It must be noted that the Russians colluded with the pro-Russian faction in Bulgaria to launch a coup. Russia invaded Bulgaria and used cruel methods to torture members of parliament, killing the chicken to scare the monkey. In the eyes of a "civilized country", this was undoubtedly a huge atrocity. But Russia was a simple and crude typical barbaric country, so it was not surprising that the Russians did this.
Although the MPs who were beaten and killed were worthy of sympathy, the European countries were quite sad for their misfortune and angry for their incompetence. The proportion of people who were angry at his incompetence was even greater.
"It would be good if these MPs were willing to die for their country." The British Foreign Office staff said thoughtlessly.
"The MPs are indeed a group of people who are not willing to serve their country!" When Prime Minister Bismarck said this, it was not clear whether he was commenting more on the Bulgarian MPs or the German MPs.
"…" The French side did not comment at all.
"Well done." The Osman Empire was very happy with the Bulgarian MPs suffering. But the Osman Empire's next treasure of the Osman Empire, the "Iron Wall Nuri" Osman? Marshal Nuri Pasha was glad to have stationed troops in the Plevin area. If Russia still wanted to borrow Bulgaria to attack the northern part of the Osman Empire, Osman? Nuri Pasha would be able to attack the Russian army from the side.
The real anger was probably only in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The reaction of the Austro-Hungarian Empire's upper echelon was, "Is the Russians going to attack Romania?!"
The Three Emperors Alliance had joined forces more than a hundred years ago. That time, the unlucky target was Poland. After three partitions, Poland became the Polish Kingdom within Russia, and the Polish crown was placed on the head of the Tsar of Russia. In the current situation, if the Russians invaded Bulgaria, it would form a pincer attack on Romania from the north and south. If the Russians really did this, the Austro-Hungarian Empire would have to go to war with the Russians.
And the Russians changed their barbaric method of suppressing other countries' parliaments forty years ago, and this time they actually played with the parliaments. If the Russians did the same thing in Romania … This was a problem that Austria-Hungary was even more worried about.
In addition to France, all the major European powers summoned Russia's ambassadors in their countries to express strong protests. Their ambassadors in Russia also received orders to express strong protests to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia.
When the foreign minister of Russia relayed the message to Tsar Alexander III of Russia, the emperor was fishing. Annoyed, he turned to look at the foreign minister and said calmly, "The Tsar of Russia is still fishing. Europe can wait for the time being."
After saying that, the tsar continued fishing. Perhaps because of this mood, a few hours later, a lot of fish had entered the Sand Emperor fish basket. After hearing the foreign minister's report, the tsar, who was in high spirits, asked unhurriedly, "What's the result of the communication with China?"
The foreign minister lowered his head and replied, "Your Majesty, the Chinese have agreed."
After getting a clear answer, the Tsar nodded in satisfaction. "Then, after Bulgaria elects a new Grand Duke, release the news."
"In Bulgaria, the army is working hard," the foreign minister of Russia replied quickly.
The Russian army was indeed working hard, and the election of the new Grand Duke was going on in the parliament. Two of the three people on the list were foils. The one that Russia really liked was the former deputy chief of staff who started the rebellion, and the current chief of staff, Milosevic. For this person who had made great contributions to Russia, Russia was naturally willing to help him.
"Gentlemen, why don't we elect a Bulgarian as the Grand Duke? Why should we get a foreign Grand Duke instead? "Milosevic shouted at a group of silent Bulgarian MPs in the parliament.
"The person I'm driving away is not a Bulgarian, unless the definition of a Bulgarian is to have a foreign father, grow up in a foreign country, and be a soldier in the foreign army. If you, like me, think that only those who have Bulgarian parents, were born in Bulgaria, and risked their lives to fight for Bulgaria are the representatives of Bulgarians, then please give me your solemn vote! "
They had to admit that these words were indeed persuasive. If it weren't for the fact that the councilors were still suffering from their injuries, perhaps their words would have been more convincing.
Finally, a MP spoke up, "If Russia is supporting this person, then I think this Bulgarian background should be discounted."
All the councilors looked at Councilor Siderov. His sonorous and forceful words had spoken their minds. Being forced to make a choice by the foreign army with the threat of death, the influential MPs were extremely dissatisfied. However, they still remembered the MP who was hanged for chanting Pei Duofei's poem. He was beaten until his mouth and eyes were crooked when he was alive, and his expression was even more deformed after his death. What would be the result of such a speech that made the MPs feel carefree?
Some MPs felt quite sympathetic, while others felt … inexplicably excited.
"On the road to complete Bulgaria's independence, we will always have to pay a price. The party who pays the price will definitely be dissatisfied, but the price depends on what it is for. When we were fighting against the Osman Empire, I was fighting on the front line. I also know many of the MPs here. The reason why I know you is because we were all fighting on the front line for Bulgaria. And that Alexander I was still a Russian at that time. Do you think such a person can represent Bulgaria? "Milosevic shouted loudly.
"First is the complete independence of Bulgaria, then Bulgaria will be free from the control of other countries. If it is for the benefit of the former, I don't care who is supporting us. And I assure you, I will never accept the position of the governor conferred by the Osman Empire. I will only accept the appointment of the Bulgarian Parliament! Here, gentlemen, I solemnly assure you that you are all witnesses. You will also see that I will be so determined to go forward! "
After such incitement, coupled with full experience of the violence used by the European gendarmerie. After two days of deliberations and a vote on number theory, the Senate finally passed. Finally, a bill and an election result came out.
The election result was naturally that Milosevic became the new Bulgarian Grand Duke. The bill was that "non-Bulgarian citizens are not allowed to run for the position of Grand Duke."
