After Ferdinand gave the order, Konstantin immediately lost most of his interest in the Germans' legacy. Whether ships or other industrial products, he let Britain and France divide them up as they pleased. Bulgaria would be better off dismantling factories and bringing them home to build its own!
Once the reparations had been dealt with and divided, it was time for the Germans' colonies. Don't assume that because Germany had challenged the old world, it had few colonies. In truth, its colonial holdings still covered no small area; they simply were not worth much.

Once he received this information, Ferdinand knew what to choose. Of these five major colonial blocs, he first ruled out the Far East ~~ region. Under the protection of the harmonious divine beast, that was something they absolutely could not touch!
Next was German Samoa. Ferdinand had never even heard of it, and only found it on the map after considerable effort: several small islands in the South Pacific, not far from New Zealand. To Bulgaria, their economic and strategic value was practically zero. There was no need to hesitate—it
