The world situation had already changed beyond recognition. Who would take the initiative to start this war?
Ferdinand was at a loss. Judging from the current situation, the later the war broke out, the greater Bulgaria's advantage would become.
From the perspective of development, among the countless countries in the world, Bulgaria's national strength was growing the fastest of all the great powers.
If they could win while lying down, why take the risk?
Anti-war sentiment in Britain and France was the mainstream, and appeasement had already begun. Otherwise, Germany and Italy could never have rearmed.
Germany and Italy were currently too weak, and without the United States' rich-man blood transfusions, breaking the international order would be as difficult as climbing to the heavens.
The Austro-Hungarian Empire had poor luck—it was too close to Bulgaria. Thus, they had always behaved themselves and did not seem like the sort to stir up trouble.
There was no need to consider the Russians. Nicholas II was already old; his lofty ambitions had long since been battered beyond all recognition. He was the one who least wanted Europe to fall into chaos.
Stalin, on the other hand, was full of ambition, but his strength was limited. Restricted by population and transportation, even after pirating Ferdinand's Five-Year Plan, his achievements remained extremely limited.
They were also threatened by the Japanese in the Far East—a case of having the will but lacking the strength!
The United States truly deserved to be called the chosen land. Even after splitting apart, the various countries were living rather well, with no atmosphere of war whatsoever.
Japan in the Far East was rife with radicalism, but whom were they supposed to fight? That was a serious question. The factions advocating northward and southward expansion argued without end.
