Vol 5 Chapter 80: Split plan

A genius remembers this site address in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? The problem of agriculture cannot be solved overnight. In the short term, it is still necessary to continue to engage in low-yield farming. If you want to develop the tertiary industry, wait another 30 years.
If the productivity does not develop further, and the total wealth created by society does not increase, how can the people's living standards be improved?
If the standard of living is not improved, how can people have money to travel and spend money on?
Why do people in this era have the habit of saving money, but they are actually forced to join without saving. Once they encounter something, they will immediately go bankrupt.
Especially for serious diseases, basically as long as the savings of a lifetime are encountered, all the savings are filled in.
Bulgarian hospitals are fairly disciplined, at least for terminal illnesses that cannot be treated. They will recommend conservative treatment to their families.
What kind of conservative treatment needs to be considered, for the rich, it is natural to continue to throw money up, and be a little guinea pig to be a doctor in experimentation, betting on the front line of life. Those who don't have money can only use cheap medicine to relieve the suffering of the patients, and how long they can live depends on luck.
Ferdinand is also very clear about these situations, but he is powerless. Bulgaria's medical standards are considered high in the world.
Even so, one can only gamble on luck in the face of major illnesses. The rich have to gamble on luck, not to mention the poor, who even have no chance to gamble.
There are many social problems in Bulgaria, and these problems are still unsolvable. That’s why Ferdinand often wondered how other traverser predecessors could easily handle it, and how did they become social ills when they got here?
The only thing that makes him gratified is that everyone in the world is like this now, and even other countries are even worse. It is the support of these colleagues that highlights his excellence.
Especially Nicholas II next door, in Ferdinand’s eyes, is really a good person! The more chaotic the Russian Empire, the more stable Bulgaria.
If it were not for Russia's ongoing civil war, these Russian immigrants would not have identified with Bulgaria so quickly and had such a strong sense of belonging.
"Your Majesty, the Russian government has applied for a loan to us again!" Chancellor Kennedy said with a smile on his face.
"A loan again. Nicholas II defeated all those 12 billion levs so quickly?" Ferdinand asked suspiciously.
"Your Majesty, there are not so many. This loan is a deduction of the principal and interest that should be repaid in the first year. In fact, the Tsarist government only got 11.168 billion levs.
They have to repay the principal and interest of approximately 1.3 billion levs every year. From 1923 to the present, they have paid 3.9 billion levs. If all these are deducted, they actually only spent the remaining 7.268 billion levs.
They can't pay the debts of 1926 anymore, so now they are forced to borrow new debts to repay old debts, and to cope with the next war, all of which require money. "Kennedy explained
It was really dark, Ferdinand thought to himself!
The Tsar’s 2.468 billion levs from the land sale should not be 2.466 billion levs. Russian officials are disciplined, and these public relations expenses can be deducted from the final payment.
Of course, the money is not discounted, and the Bulgarian government directly paid it in one lump sum. The 10 billion lev loan is not so easy to get. According to international practice, first deduct the first year's principal and interest and get 8.7 billion lev.
In three years, the principal and interest of 3.9 billion levs were repaid, and Nicholas II only used 4.8 billion levs.
Of course, if Nicholas II had a financial mind, he might be able to make a fortune elsewhere to make up for the loss.
However, this possibility is unlikely. If Nicholas II had this talent, the Russian Empire would not be so short of money. Based on the czarist industry, if reasonable investment, the current income is estimated to be enough for war expenses.
The easiest way is to go to London to buy stocks and engage in real estate with a return rate of several times a year, which is enough to fill the shortfall.
Of course, people who don't have vision and background to play will probably die in a certain corner. There are still some sand royals in the background, and the only thing lacking is vision.
...
After some calculations, Ferdinand suddenly discovered that the interest charged this time is not too high. Even the principal and interest are only 1.3 billion levs per year. Think about the loan on the future Internet platform, the interest can be doubled in a month. Really kind.
Even if compared with the bank loans of later generations, the monthly interest rate is considered low, and the monthly interest rate for a 30-year loan is only seven thousandths.
There are no messy handling fees, timely loans, and no call for loans if they are not due. It is really conscientious. Ferdinand decisively ignored the facts of plotting in Ukraine.
War is the biggest gold swallowing beast. With such a small amount of money, Nicholas II could last for so long, and the little Nicholas I who was still fighting was dying. If there were no British transfusions behind his back, he would have already killed this opponent.
"What are the Russians going to use as collateral this time?" Ferdinand asked concerned.
"This time the Russians no longer intend to take the land as collateral. Nicholas II is now estimated to have regretted it. The reunification process of the Russian Empire has been delayed. Given their financial situation, it is almost impossible to repay the loan.
So the Russians learned a lesson this time. They plan to borrow 20 billion levs of interest-free loans from us, which can be mortgaged with tariffs, salt taxes, and liquor taxes! Said Kennedy
Ferdinand shook his head directly. If Bulgarian capitalists want to continue to expand their market in the Russian Empire, the possibility of this deal is very high.
It is a pity that Ferdinand is no longer interested in these. After ten years of war, the Russian Empire has long been a country and a people.
He clearly felt that in the last two years, the intensity of Russia's civil war had been greatly reduced. In order to buy military power, Nicholas II was also knighting and drawing a large number of supporters.
The Russian Empire had enough land for him to squander, so Nicholas II's shots were much more generous than Ferdinand's.
Even so, it only stabilized the military's mind. After all, the war has been fought for too long, and the anti-war sentiment among the people has risen.
If the civil war broke out in the first year, just do this, it is estimated that not to mention the little Nicholas, even the Moscow government that went to Siberia to cultivate and rejuvenate has long been put down.
What is the combat effectiveness of the military aristocracy? Ferdinand is the one who has the most power to discover. Just look at the Bulgarian army. As soon as there is a battle, they will fight one by one, for fear of missing the opportunity.
Even at the most critical moment, they are the most able to persist. Stimulated by military achievements, on the battlefield, many of them can often explode beyond imagination.
"Reject the Russians directly. This business is too risky, and we can't afford it in Bulgaria. I suggest that they try to find the British and French!" Ferdinand said with a smile
Don't do it? Do not!
In the end, this business could only be done by Bulgaria. The Russian Empire had already owed a lot of debts to Britain and France, which had long been expected.
If it were not for the war indemnities obtained by the Russians in the World War, which was used to offset a portion of the interest, the capitalists in Britain and France would have vomited blood, especially the French who had been cheated by the Russians.
In order to win Russia to deal with the Germans, there were a lot of interest-free loans and low-interest loans. Now if the German and Austrian war indemnities had not paid their interest, Nicholas II would only have to declare a debt.
There is interest, but no one knows where the principal is, so the mood of the French is the most complicated.
On the one hand, they hope that the Russians will continue the civil war, so that the Russians will not have the energy to compete with them for European hegemony; on the other hand, they hope that the Russians will be reunified as soon as possible, so that only a unified Russia can repay their loans.
After all, this is hundreds of billions of francs. For any country, it is not a small sum. Historically, it was because Russia was annihilated, and the French financial sector was finally damaged.
At least the Russians are still there, and the transferred war reparations can barely be repaid with interest. These financial institutions can still accept it, and they won't be directly involved in bankruptcy.
At this time, do French capitalists dare to lend money to the Russians? Even if the Russians can use these taxes as collateral, they must be able to get it!
Even Ferdinand did not dare to accept these taxes as collateral. He knew how bad the Russian tax system was. Maybe he got the Russian taxes in name, but in fact he couldn't collect the taxes of a big man.
It's impossible for you to send someone to Russia to collect taxes yourself? The tsarist government will really cooperate with you in collecting taxes? Even if you cooperate, the people below can still keep you from getting the money.
Don't overestimate Mao Xiong's morals. If you get to that point, the tax you will receive in the end will definitely be nothing.
The czarist government that has played a rogue is not afraid of external threats. Historically, the czars who declared bankruptcy were not one or two in order to renege on accounts. Then these bankers who borrowed money could only admit that they were unlucky.
What about the British? Does this still need to be considered?
Without their troubles, Nicholas II would have unified Russia a long time ago. You can see from the weapons and equipment of the little Nicholas Tsar, most of them are British.
The weapons and equipment left over from the World War were selflessly given to the Russians by the British, so that this civil war could continue.
In contrast, although Ferdinand is also engaged in the arms trade, he will converge a lot. That is, the captured Allied weapons were sold to the little Nicholas and the Moscow government, and the Bulgarian equipment was only sold to Nicholas II.
On the surface, he has never supported the little Nicholas. These weapons were bought by British merchants from Bulgaria, and to whom they were sold is unknown.
Now the London government has invested heavily in the little Nicholas. If Nicholas II were to dominate Russia, wouldn't their investment be lost?
What's more, a split bear is a good bear. Once Russia is reunified again, where will their expansion direction be?
As long as the Tsarist government is not stupid, it knows that the expansion of the European continent has reached its limit. If they continue to expand into Europe, they will be beaten by gangs.
Neither the French nor the Austro-Hungarian Empire, or the Germans and Bulgaria, will tolerate their continued expansion in Europe.
With their current strength, even if they unified the country, they didn't have the guts to start a war again.
Enter the ocean, let alone think about it. Although the Baltic Sea has been assumed to be the territory of the Russians, they don’t have the money to play in the navy now!
Then I looked around and found that the Balkans, Asia Minor, and Northern Persia are all Bulgarian territory. As the only ally of the Russians, they still need Bulgaria’s support and it is impossible to turn their faces at this time.
Only Central Asia and the Far East are left. If Teddy Bear goes to the Far East and the Japanese die, it is estimated that John Bull will fully support it.
However, from the perspective of economic value, entering India from Central Asia is a better choice. Even if Mao Xiong dare not directly challenge the British Empire, small moves are absolutely indispensable.
On land, they are not afraid of the British. The most important maritime trade route is controlled by Bulgaria. The British want to suppress them, at most, they are restricted in the Baltic Sea.
In the Black Sea region, Bulgaria certainly cannot let the British in. The British can't even block Bulgaria together, right?
If the British really did this, it is estimated that the Russians would still celebrate with champagne. With the conflict between Britain and Bulgaria, the Suez Canal would be cut off.
It is not far from the Palestinian area to the Suez Canal. The Bulgarian Air Force can blow up the canal in only two or three hours.
It doesn't take long. As long as they are blocked for three to five months, the Russians can enter India.
Everyone is very clear about these simple issues, so the British Empire is the most active on the issue of splitting Russia.
Of course, other countries are also very active, including Ferdinand, on this issue, everyone stands on the same position.
Otherwise, the civil war will continue for so long. In many cases, Nicholas II seemed to have the advantage, and the dawn of victory could be seen again, but every time at the last moment, he failed because of various unfavorable factors.
For example, now, the little Nicholas government can immediately get the support of the British. According to Ferdinand’s knowledge, the London government now spends tens of millions of pounds in special funds every year, and finally it is replaced by weapons and ammunition into Russia .
The same is true for the French. The French army’s weapons update speed is extremely fast, and the amount of weapons and ammunition consumed exceeds that of the war.
These increased consumption also flowed into Russia~EbookFREE.me~ Even many of the weapons and ammunition in it were transferred through Bulgaria, and Ferdinand was very tacitly pretending to do nothing.
In addition to Britain and France, there are many countries in Europe that secretly supported the Russian Civil War. For example, Sweden and the Austro-Hungarian Empire have provided support to the rebels.
Did Nicholas II know? Of course he knows, but he can't do anything without evidence! The Tsarist government is about to start talking about evidence, and it will know how severely they have been weakened.
Without the support of so many international friends, how could Nicholas II have not unified Russia? Know that the main force of the Russian army is in his hands.
Little Nicholas still has some support from the Russian army, and the Moscow government is very short of qualified officers. Even if their organizational ability is the strongest, the troops are brave enough when they are defeated, but their combat effectiveness is not very good. .
The history of Russia has changed beyond recognition, and Ferdinand is still waiting for the British to come out and be the wicked and split the Russian Empire completely.
Judging from the current situation, if Nicholas II fails again, there will be no chance to unify Russia again. When the people's war exhaustion reaches its limit, no one can continue to push for war!
"Your Majesty, don't you talk to the Russians first, presumably the bottom line of the tsarist government is already very low. If we persist, the benefits will be great this time!" Kennedy thought for a while and said.
"No, some things are inconvenient for us to do too much. Even if we want to take advantage of the fire, the Russians should take the initiative to let us rob, instead of us rushing to rob!" Ferdinand said carefully.
Kennedy nodded with a face full of confusion, anyway, he couldn't see any difference between the two, anyway, the final result was to take advantage of the fire.
