Vol 4 Chapter 49: Prepare

Under Ferdinand's butterfly effect, the rubber crisis that burst in 1911 did not evolve into a global economic crisis.
Investigating the cause is very funny, mainly because the economic crisis that broke out from the United States in 19o7 lasted until 19o9 and ended completely.
Under the natural rule of survival of the fittest, the economy that burst in 197 has eliminated a large amount of production capacity, and the capitalist world economy is now in the recovery period.
Except for individual industries, most industries do not have the problem of overproduction, and there are not many industries involved in the rubber stock market. Naturally, there will be no economic crisis.
Therefore, in this capital feast, Ferdinand's benefits are not too much, far less than the short-selling Jewish capitalists. The sequela is the European anti-Semitic movement, which has begun to rise in Europe 6.
Oh, this harvest is not big, Ferdinand thinks that, this time the gain is still very substantial.
"Little Carl counted our gains." Ferdinand said lightly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Little Carl replied
"Since 19o2, we have made arrangements in the rubber market in advance. We have invested a total of 150 thousand levs (about 60 thousand pounds), established 38 rubber companies, and have rubber plantations in Southeast Asia. 186 rubber plantings of 10,000 hectares.
After the operation, it was listed in London, Shanghai, New York, Paris and other places. At its peak, the company's total market value approached 30 million pounds.
Before the stock market crash, we carried out a cash sale of 8 million pounds. Earlier, our company's stock income was about 3.8 million pounds. In addition to costs, we made a total of 10.36 million pounds!
In the later period, we spent nearly half a million pounds and repurchased stocks, and now we are delisting from the stock exchange again. "
Judging from the return on investment, sixteen times the profit in eight years, even if converted to each year, the annual return on investment has exceeded 40%, it seems that this number is very high.
In fact, Ferdinand knows that if it is not for its own bank to operate, it is estimated that even one-third of this profit will not be obtained!
No way, how can it be possible to speculate in stocks without the cooperation of financial institutions?
Compared with the huge profits of the financial industry, the return rate of the investment industry is really too low!
Don't worry about Ferdinand knowing that this selling of stocks can't just sell its own company. Even the stocks that people mortgaged to bank loans have been sold by a brain!
After the stock market crashed, the bank bought it back from the market at the price of cabbage, and then held the collateral to continue to recover the insufficient part from the creditor. Otherwise, how could it be so profitable to sell its own stock alone?
Well, Ferdinand still has a face, not after the stock market crash, he took advantage of the fire, otherwise this profit can increase at least half!
As for the companies to be acquired later, Karl did not mention it, and Ferdinand did not ask. He knew that the number of industries affected this time was not large, and the gains would not be great.
Except for some capitalists who like to play financial unlucky eggs, most capitalists are still a little bit savvy. The average stock market disaster once every few years has taught them to play stocks or not to bet on them.
Therefore, most of the people who are really affected are the middle class and ordinary people. They were fooled into by the good news of the stock market and became the ultimate victims!
...
"Dear, the fifth and sixth names, haven't you taken them yet?"
Ferdinand smiled awkwardly, and it was also a troublesome job to get the name, especially since there were already four. The names that had been eliminated before must not be used now, otherwise it would not pay attention to the twins, at least Senia will not allow Ferdinand to perfunctory!
However, for the sake of the name, their four elder brothers have eliminated hundreds of names, and there are not many names in the Western world. When it was their turn, Ferdinand had a headache. For the first time, he felt that It turns out that having more children is also a kind of trouble!
Now Ferdinand still admires that he is sensible enough and has not brought up a bunch of illegitimate children, otherwise the headache index will be + 1oo86!
"Dear, what good suggestions do you have?" Ferdinand dumped the pot decisively
Shenia rolled her eyes, and the meaning was obvious. You are the head of the family. This is your problem.
At this point, they really have something in common. Other people think of the name, they can pick up a lot of problems, but they can't think of a suitable name!
...
Ferdinand's troubles did not last long. The sudden visit of the Foreign Minister saved him temporarily from this trouble, but new troubles came again!
"Your Majesty, the French-German negotiations failed. Now that the Germans have sent warships to Morocco, the two sides are confronting each other. The French have asked us to provide diplomatic support and prepare for war!" Megeve said
Despite all the preparations in his heart, after all this was born, Ferdinand was still a little worried. History has changed. Now the advantages of the Allies are much stronger than during the same period in history.
Then, will the French burst into confidence and think that the time has come for revenge and revenge, just drag everyone down and lead the war in advance?
This is an age of strength to speak!
Many of Ferdinand's plans would be wasted if the war broke out. Judging from the current strength of Bulgaria, it will be difficult to obtain the benefits that Ferdinand wanted after the war.
"Well, tell the French we will cooperate with them diplomatically, but it will take some time to prepare for the war!" Ferdinand said lightly
In this regard, Ferdinand is still very disciplined. Bulgaria has not received less French help over the years, and it is time to return.
But Ferdinand didn't stupidly tell the French that we are ready to go!
Oh, it seems that Bulgaria is really not ready for war now, it seems that some things need to be prepared in advance now.
...
After hitting the Foreign Minister, Ferdinand instructed the servants: "Notify the Military Commission that a military meeting will be held tomorrow morning."
Although Bulgaria will not be the focus of the ally's attack because of its geographical location, the preparations to be done are still to be done. It is not Ferdinand's style to be beaten.
Relying on the Balkan Mountains, in fact, Bulgaria's defense pressure is not great. Except for several cities newly acquired from the Romanian offensive, most other areas are dangerous and defendable, and there are not many places suitable for attack.
If at the beginning of the war, Belgrade can be taken down and the Balkan portal closed, then the next battle will be easy to fight.
Without two or three times the strength advantage, even the offense is difficult to do! Anyway, if the tank doesn't come, and the plane doesn't give you the age, if you use infantry to hit the barbed wire + trenches, you will fill your life!
...
Ferdinand frowned at the military conference, saying: "Europe 6 is now like a gunpowder barrel, and Mars can detonate both of them at a glance. There is no need to say more about the conflict between the two Dalian Alliances, you all know!
Looking around, Bulgaria is now a group of enemies, and once the war breaks out, we will face multiple offensives at the same time!
Therefore, we must be prepared for a war at any time, and I ask you to come up with a practical defense plan as soon as possible! "
Well, this strategic plan will definitely not fit in a room in the General Staff.
However, the final plan has not been finalized so far. After all, this aspect is too broad. Ferdinand, a military hobby, is really inferior to these professionals when facing specific plans.
Then, these generals can only be judged. Anyway, as long as it is carried out strategically according to Ferdinand's requirements, he will not interfere.
After thinking about it, Ferdinand added another sentence: "Yes, judging from the strength of the two major alliances, I don't think that we can win and lose in a short time, so we must be prepared for a protracted battle!
When you make your war plan, you must also prepare for war based on protracted warfare. You must consider as much as possible all the crises we face when the war breaks out.
For example, if the Allies block our coastline with submarines, what should the Navy Department do?
For another example, after the war broke out, the French or Russian suddenly collapsed. What should we do?
Or, after the war broke out, the German navy defeated the Royal Fleet, what should we do?
...
In short, all the bad consequences that can be thought of must be considered! "
Well, Ferdinand's words frightened everyone. Now everyone is very optimistic about the situation in the Allies and has never considered that there will be so many unfavorable situations!
The battlefield is ever-changing. Who knows what will happen before the fight starts? The Allies have won in history. In addition to having a large family and strong national strength, strategic mistakes with the Germans are also inseparable.
What if the Germans suddenly burst under Ferdinand's butterfly effect? Didn't people make strategic mistakes?
Or is it that the Germans were so lucky that they directly knocked over the British in the decisive battle of the navy? Who knows this?
In short, all this is possible in theory. As long as any kind of situation occurs, Bulgaria is not prepared in advance, and the consequences are catastrophic!
Chief of General Staff Imiya Dimitev thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, I am afraid these situations will not happen! Once the war breaks out, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will never stop our joint attack with the Russians. Yes, without the help of the Germans, the Austro-Hungarian Empire would not be able to persist for half a year!
The Italians are not suitable for war. Once this situation arises, the Germans will fight alone, so division is inevitable!
In this way, the entire battlefield will be consumed by both sides, and the war potential of the ally is not comparable to ours!
As for the German Navy's ability to defeat the Royal Fleet, this situation is even more unlikely!
The gap between the strengths of the two sides is too large, and with the help of the British and the French, even the Russian fleet in the Baltic Sea can contain some Germans.
And the fleets of the Confederates, Italy and Austria, can't get out of the Mediterranean! "
Ferdinand nodded. Under normal circumstances, the chief of staff's reasoning is correct, but who can say exactly on the battlefield?
I saw Ferdinand said faintly: "Nothing is impossible on the battlefield, and the Germans will not be led by us. Is it really difficult to give up the Austro-Hungarian Empire?
As long as the Germans are sure to kill the French before the Austro-Hungarian Empire is finished ~ EbookFREE.me ~ all of this is not a problem, but we will be passive instead, even with the Russians we will still be in a disadvantage!
As for the decisive battle of the navy, everyone knows that sometimes luck is more important than strength. Even a tsunami on the sea may help the Germans win the battle. We must not take it lightly! "
The crowd did not speak, and obviously the situation Ferdinand said was not impossible, especially the Germans concentrated their forces on the front line, this possibility is still very large.
If, at the beginning of the war, the Germans did not face the raid directly, could the French stop them?
No one can answer this question!
