A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? "Prime Minister, the ten-year plan is about to be completed, what does the government plan to do with criminals in the labor?" Ferdinand concerned Asked
"Your Majesty, the government has decided to develop the African continent. Some of these criminals will stay in the country, continue to improve the infrastructure construction, and some will be sent to the African continent." Constantine thought for a while and said.
"It's not easy to develop Africa. Our current population is severely underpopulated, and it is a bit reluctant to develop the world island. If we diversify our energy to the African continent, I am afraid it will be too weak!" Ferdinand said worriedly.
Ferdinand’s concern is not unreasonable. Bulgaria has a population of just over 60 million, and now the territory of Light World Island is as high as over 6.6 million square kilometers.
The development of this part of the territory already seems to be vast and sparsely populated. If we go to develop the African colonies, won't it be more scattered?
If there is not enough population, how about peaceful development?
You know, the Bulgarian colony in Africa is not small, and the total area is more than seven or eight million square kilometers. Where can we get so many people?
"Your Majesty, even if it is not possible to fully develop the African continent now, we can also do the preliminary work and carry out the necessary infrastructure construction.
In short, these people can't be left idle, let alone put them back, this will endanger the security of our colony! "Constantin thought for a while and said
It is not that they do not know that it is too early to develop the African continent, but that most of the labor in their hands is a cancer that endangers social stability.
Don't let them be idle, because once they are idle, something will happen. Even more can't be released. If the Bulgarian colony is released, it will be a mess.
killed? This is even more unreliable, many millions? Who did it? Besides, isn't this a waste?
This is also the reason why Britain and France did not recruit labors in this way. Cheap is cheap. The problem is that there is no place for resettlement?
Bulgaria also made the move because of construction needs and lack of labor. Now that the large-scale project is completed, it has become a problem.
"How much labor will be needed for the later projects initiated by the government?" Ferdinand asked
"After 1930, the national labor demand will drop to less than two million, and the total number of criminals in our hands now is 4.18 million. Nearly half of them will have difficulty in resettlement by then!" Constantine replied
Why 4.18 million people, minus two million, is less than two million, Ferdinand has no time to tangle this issue.
What can these people do?
Answer: coolie!
Then there is no more. Except for the simplest manual labor, letting them do any other work is a problem.
As for teaching them knowledge and training them to become talents? The Bulgarian government is not a fool. If there is a sudden increase of millions of laborers in the human resources market, the wages of domestic workers will not collapse?
The wage level is also directly related to labor supply and demand. Ferdinand couldn't do such a stupid thing.
"That is to say, even if there is no project, we have to make the project, can't let them idle, right?" Ferdinand asked
"Yes, Your Majesty! Unless we exile them overseas and let them fend for themselves, we must move them!" Constantine said
It will definitely not work for them to enter the factory, even if they are not transported, it will rob domestic jobs.
The development of the African continent can only be regarded as a way to give them a piece of land and let them build their own country?
It is estimated that this country will depend on Bulgaria in the future. I paint them a piece of land and let them cultivate it by themselves. It is estimated that 80% of the people in this country do not know what the land is.
No wonder slavery will eventually collapse! Ferdinand said with emotion
"Try to resettle as much as possible, and let them plant trees for the last remaining people! We have so many deserts in the Middle East that need to be greened, just use it as waste!" Ferdinand thought for a while and said.
Constantine nodded his approval, and threw it into the desert. Even the guards could save a lot. It was difficult to get out.
As these people do not need to pay wages, they can consume part of the surplus food and stabilize domestic food prices.
This part of the expenses can be deducted from the tax paid by the oil company.
Anyway, Bulgaria’s fiscal revenue has grown very rapidly, and this growth can continue for a long time in the future, and money will always be spent.
...
Time flies quickly. On December 20, 1928, the Great Lakes Federation, Hawaii, Alaska, South Pacific, Germany and Russia, North Pacific, Atlantic, and Central United Kingdom, the eight kingdoms were elected on the same day The king.
When the election was over, everyone suddenly discovered that the final winners were actually from the Gotha family, among which the British and Bulgarian royal families had swept the seven crowns.
At this time, if everyone does not know why, then political consciousness is too low.
There is no doubt that this is a local power faction in North America, and has reached an agreement with the Gotha family, otherwise it would not be so easy to succeed.
The European aristocrats were angry. They had seen those who ate alone, and had never seen such a unique one. There were only two of the thirteen kingdoms in North America at once. Isn't this too much?
Trouble!
Trouble!
There must be trouble!
This kind of tragic thing must not be allowed to happen. If this continues, this aristocratic circle will become the only one of the Gotha family.
It is simply uncle tolerable, and aunt can't bear it either!
Ferdinand also became nervous. This time the Bulgarian royal family won the crowns of the Kingdom of Hawaii, the Kingdom of Alaska, the Kingdom of the South Pacific, and the United Kingdom of Germany and Russia.
In fact, with the exception of the Kingdom of Alaska and the Kingdom of Hawaii, the remaining two kingdoms are not under his control.
There is no other way. Except for these two small-populated countries, which are easy to control, there are a lot of internal power groups in other countries. Where is it so easy to control?
Alaska has a large territory, but unfortunately it has a very small population. By the 21st century, the population will be less than one million, not to mention it now.
Hawaii is not much better. The population is only slightly larger than that of Alaska. By the 21st century, it was only more than one million. Originally, Ferdinand was prepared to directly rule, but later found that the investment was too much to be worthwhile.
The location of Hawaii is very important. It is located at the "crossroads" of the Pacific Ocean and is a sea and air transportation hub between Asia, the United States and Oceania.
It is not obvious in this era, the importance of the future is very prominent, and we cannot easily give up.
Hawaii itself has good products, and it is very easy to be a small and affluent country.
The remaining two kingdoms are not so simple. Both the South Pacific Kingdom and the United Kingdom of Germany and Russia have a population of more than five million, and there are many internal forces.
Fortunately, in this era, the two places have not yet developed, and the main consortium of the United States is still in the east, otherwise it would be difficult to succeed so smoothly.
Even so, there are still protesters in the two countries. Obviously Ferdinand has no ability to satisfy all interest groups.
On December 21, 1928, both the London government and the Bulgarian government issued a declaration, praising the people of all countries for their insights and announcing their support for this election.
After all, the two countries are the most successful representatives of the constitutional monarchy, which is enough to prove that the two royal houses are wise. With such an excellent blood line, the next generation will definitely be very good.
Well, these are all nonsense. Anyway, it is the age of imperialism, and the governments of Britain and Bulgaria have supported each other, and the unfavorable international public opinion will also become favorable.
The French are very injured, and the republic has insulated them from such a flourishing age. No matter what, it is impossible for people to come to France to invite a president back.
The example of the Americans tells the world that the federal system has no centripetal force. There are inherent contradictions among the states. Coupled with a weak central government, it is impossible to resist external pressure.
The French are also a negative textbook. From the aftermath of the Revolution to the present, France's comprehensive national strength has been farther and farther away from the world's number one.
In the late 19th century, France still had half the power of Britain. Up to now, the overall national strength of the French is less than a quarter of that of the British.
This reality is in front of us, except for politicians, everyone else is ashamed to say that France is getting stronger.
Looking at national strength alone, is it stronger now than before? In fact, this is all nonsense. Technological progress promotes the development of the country, and the French have already fallen.
In Napoleon’s France, people could stand alone against the European heroes. What about now?
In addition to the superficial scenery, the inside has long been empty, and the French are becoming weaker and weaker in international affairs.
The Japanese were also not comfortable. He had been eyeing Hawaii a long time ago. After the war, it was taken over by the League of Nations. Then Hawaii became independent.
The Japanese are already the most populous ethnic group in Hawaii, and they are also trying to control Hawaii through elections. Unfortunately, this era does not have their voice.
Hawaii became independent, the Japanese were deprived of the right to vote, they did not obtain a nationality, and were rejected by the white ethnic group.
The reason is that after the Japanese troops landed on the Hawaiian Islands, a series of unsightly practices were the cause of contradictions.
Later they gained support from Bulgaria. They simply deprived the Japanese of their right to vote and established a white regime.
The Tokyo government can only stare, and put out a few ruthless words, which can't scare people.
Their navy dared not go deep into the Pacific Ocean at all. With the current international situation, they were not sure that they could retreat completely.
What if you leave the nest and get sap halfway by the British?
The British don't want to fight them, it doesn't mean that Britain won't do anything against them. If the opportunity is presented to them, who can guarantee that they can also stand it?
Just as Ferdinand didn't want to fight with the British, but if the British dared to put the main force of the Royal Navy in the Mediterranean, he would eat it in one bite.
This has nothing to do with others. It is mainly a matter of paying and gaining. If you can pay a small price, you can reap a lot of benefits. Why not do it?
"Ferdinand will not have any changes this time?" Queen Xenia asked worriedly
"I don't know ~EbookFREE.me~ The things that should be done have been done, if there is another change, then we can only let the flow take its course!"
"Have you discovered that both Alaska and Hawaii are within the threat of the Japanese? What if..." Xenia said worriedly
"Nothing in case, if the Japanese come in chaos, they will fight a big deal. There are many people who want to beat them. If we are willing to come forward, the British will not mind losing the stone!" Ferdinand said after thinking about it.
Regardless of the size of the Japanese navy, in fact their overall national strength determines their war potential.
As long as they don't attack their homeland, no matter how powerful Bushido is, it is useless. The war potential of island nations is very limited. Once hundreds of submarines are released into the Pacific, they will be finished.
In fact, the Japanese government has been forced to be so peaceful lately. It is countless, they can't think that the troubles in Southeast Asia can be so big.
At this time, the eyes of the British and French looking at them were all wrong. If they came out to make trouble again, who knew if the international coalition would come again?
Even if there are no military strikes and direct economic sanctions, they will be finished?
Without the Americans selling scrap steel to them, their current steel output is less than one million tons. This is nothing. The key is industrial raw materials, which are heavily dependent on the outside world.
For example, oil has to be imported from the British and Bulgarian oil companies. The price of oil in the Far East is directly higher than that in the European continent.
That's why they are obsessed with Nanyang. The oil fields in Sumatra have always been their dreams, but they were blocked by the Philippine Islands and became unattainable.
