Vol 5 Chapter 62: London Conference

Alvin is a native Bulgarian railway engineer who graduated from the Sofia Railway Technical School and works at the design institute of the railway company.
He has been in this job for ten years and now he is going to the Arabian Peninsula for field exploration.
No way, this era is limited by technology. Designers can't finish the design while sitting in the office. A good railway designer is usually a good prospector.
With a few apprentices and a dozen workers, he left Sofia's comfortable home, accompanied by a platoon of soldiers, who were responsible for protecting them from terrorists.
Since the government asked the military to provide three million laborers, the entire Bulgarian colony has been uneven, and large-scale enemies have been killed, but the missing fish is still there.
Except for the Asia Minor Peninsula, Syria, Jordan and Palestine, which have been cleared, other areas are the hardest hit areas for terrorist activities.
The Arabian Peninsula is fairly good, and has been given special attention by the government. After the military's pull-out investigation, the criminals have no room for survival.
"Will move a little faster, we can rest after we finish this hill today!" Alvin shouted
"Knowing the teacher, I still want to finish the work early, and go back for vacation!" Will replied
The work of going out for exploration is very painful. Alvin must operate it in person to ensure the accuracy of the data.
In addition to topographic surveys, they have to conduct a geological survey almost every few hundred meters to determine whether the local area is suitable for railway construction, and to choose the lowest possible construction route for the railway.
This job is hard, but the treatment is also very high, almost ten times the income of ordinary workers. Alvin spends half of his year in the wild.
When encountering such a railway plan formulated by the government, it is also very common to stay outside for a year or two and not go home.
As a designer, Alvin's work usually begins with exploration and continues until the railway is accepted.
Many times, when there is a lack of technical personnel on the construction site, he will also go for a guest, this situation is common in Bulgaria.
Without a lonely heart, ordinary people can't persist, and Alvin has thought about resigning several times, but in Lev's face, he insisted again and again.
It's hard to find such a high-paying job. People who have entered the country more than 10,000 years ago are still rare in Bulgaria.
This income will allow his family to live a comfortable life in Sofia and own their own house. He also plans to buy a car.
Now that the price of the car has dropped to 8ooo Lev, as a member of the middle class, he can fully afford the cost.
Of course, this has to wait for the completion of the project, because he has heard that the railway company ’s outstanding engineer award this time, there will be a car in the prize. In the event of a collision, you can save a cost !!
Taking the car as a reward, this was made by Ferdinand. Since the launch of the major highway plan, the government has called on rich people to buy cars.
As Bulgaria's largest capitalist, naturally has to take the lead, so the year-end award in 1921, most of the management and technical engineer's awards have been turned into cars.
Ferdinand went out with more than 80,000 cars in one go, all domestically produced goods.
Of course, domestic products are not inferior products. After the end of the World War, Bulgarian industrial products have completed a technical upgrade. Many of these technologies were selflessly contributed by the Germans.
Bulgaria's automobile industry has always been very good. As the largest automobile production base in Europe, it has monopolized the eight-tier automobile market in Eastern Europe. Pragmatism is synonymous with Bulgarian cars.
Bulgaria is also the largest car user in Europe. The capitalists who bought the cars first, and then the military aristocrats who made their homes in the World War, are now the middle class.
Starting with Ferdinand awarding cars, the days of large-scale use of cars by the middle class are not far away.
As the vane of Bulgarian enterprises, since Ferdinand's industry has opened up, other companies will surely follow suit. The middle class is already used in cars!
What is the current middle class in Bulgaria? At an initial estimate of two or three million people, there are still some.
The criteria for classification are very simple. They are divided according to income: between 8,000 levs to 50,000 levs per year, all belong to the middle class. If they have an annual income of over 50,000 levs, they are rich.
Ann's asset classification: Total personal assets between 100,000 levs to 500,000 levs belong to the middle class. After 500,000 levs, that is the rich man.
According to this standard, all the aristocrats in Bulgaria are rich, and their total assets have exceeded 500,000 levs, although many of them have annual income less than 50,000 levs.
There is no family as a unit. At present, the extended family is still popular in Bulgaria. Although it is a family, they are essentially separated.
Financial income, daily expenses, and debt are all separated, but everyone still likes to appear as a family.
In the face of this particular national situation, it is obviously unreasonable to divide the gap between the rich and the poor according to the standards of family property. Many large families have hundreds of people.
The gap between the rich and the poor of family members is also very wide. There are rich people, middle class, and poor people.
This is also caused by a unique cultural system. Everyone is used to clearing accounts with their brothers. Perhaps people who know Europeans will come out. Some people are poor and need relief food. His brother is a billionaire.
This is not surprising. The family is back to family, but people are not obliged to help you. We cannot say that everyone is a brother. You must help!
This is true even between parents and children. The children of billionaires usually go to restaurants to work as plates to earn money, and no one finds it strange.
The same is true in Bulgaria. Usually after the age of sixteen, they have to work hard to make money to support themselves, and the parental obligation to the child ends here.

London
This global financial capital is now lively again. Representatives from more than 20 countries have gathered here. The Royal Fleet is still docked in the port to show the power of the British Empire to the outside world!
These countries are all coastal nations. There are also thresholds for participating in this meeting. We cannot allow a group of six countries to participate in the naval arms talks?
People do n’t even have a port. Even if they want to build a navy, there is no place to release warships?
The navy staying on paper must be restricted?
According to this standard, the countries that have actually participated in the negotiations this time are Britain, France, Bulgaria, and Japan, and then Russia, Austria, Hungary, Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Denmark, Chile, Brazil, Argentina ...
At the beginning of the meeting, the atmosphere was not very harmonious. The contradictions between countries were not low, and it was impossible to completely follow the wishes of the British.
"For the peace and stability of the world, we are here today to come up with a reasonable measure to avoid wars caused by differences in military strength in various regions," said British Foreign Secretary Gray.
As the younger brother of the British Empire, the Portuguese cooperated tacitly: "Everyone knows that every war is a tragedy in human history. After so many lessons, it is time for us to start to reflect!
I don't know what plan Gray has to prevent the tragedy from happening again? "
"It's very simple, to establish a balance! As long as the military strength of each region has reached a balance point, then the ambitionist wants to start a war and he must think twice!" Gray said
Looking at the British people's tricks, everyone is fascinating. Obviously, no one takes the words of the British people for a while.
Regional military balance is easier said than done!
Is it possible to balance the weak and strong countries militarily?
In essence, this is nonsense. The strength of the overall national strength has been determined. The gap in military strength cannot be filled by simple arms treaties.
Seeing that no one has demolished Taiwan, Gray is very satisfied and wants everyone to cooperate. It is estimated that the small parliament sold the face of the British Empire, and the big countries did not demolish the Taiwan.
"For the long-term stability of human society, I propose that everyone join forces to disarm and reduce the hidden dangers of war!" Gray continued.
At this point, someone can't sit still. The French, who boasted of being the world's second strongest country, jumped out and asked, "So Mr. Gray, how does this specific disarmament plan unfold?"
"We work together to agree on a disarmament ratio that everyone can accept, and then we disarm at the same time!" Gray replied unchanged.
Megeve smiled and said, "Mr. Gray's proposal is good. We will disarm together. The savings will be used for the national economy and the people's livelihood. It is for everyone!
But how is this proportion determined? You have to know that everyone is in different geographical locations and national conditions, so you ca n’t just go across the board. "
Gray thought for a while and said, "It's better to determine the number of armaments you keep first, and then cut down more armaments, which is also fair!"
Megeve fell into silence. Anyway, the stage has been set up for the British. What they can finally do is their own problem.
Suppressing the military presence of various countries is also very beneficial to Bulgaria. If we can fight for peace time of ten to twenty years, then Bulgaria in the future will no longer be afraid of any enemy!
Japanese representative Yasuda Uchida knew that this was for them. Since the North American incident, the British have intentionally or unintentionally troubled them.
"Mr. Gray, how is this set?" Uchida asked with interest.
"It's better to use the industrial strength of each country as a standard to determine your naval tonnage according to this ratio?" Gray said slowly.
Metev smiled and said, "This is a good proposal, we have no opinion in Bulgaria!"
As Portugal, Spain, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire began to reconcile, this would not be a loss for them anyway.
The Frenchman's face was a little embarrassing, but he also turned his attention to Japan without exaggerating retrograde.
Anyway, the Japanese suffer most. If we disarm by this standard, the Japanese navy will be dead!
Who calls their total industry less than half of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, less than one-third of the French, less than one-fourth of Bulgaria, and less than one-tenth of the British.
Uchida quickly said, "No, this plan is very unfair to the Great Japanese Empire!"
The Dutch representative who did not deal with Japan suddenly said, "Why isn't it fair? This is taking into account the actual situation of each country. It is very reasonable to determine the armaments according to your industrial strength!
If not, then I propose to determine naval armaments based on the economic aggregate of each country. This will also prevent some countries from using their troops to the point that they will not be dumb! "
"This proposal is good. We in the French Republic support it. We must not force ourselves to a halt and increase the burden on the people!"
Waiting for Uchida to answer, the French representative has spoken in agreement!
"This proposal is also good, and we have no opinion in Bulgaria, or should Mr. Uchida choose one?" Mev said with a smile.
Even if it is based on the total economic volume, Japan is still the most disadvantaged party. Now their total economic volume has just passed one-third of Bulgaria's, less than half!
The gap between France and France is less than one-fifth. If the colonies are not counted, the total economic volume of the two countries will be almost the same.
"Impossible, these two standards are very bad for the Great Japanese Empire. We can't accept it!" Uchida still said angrily
"Should we carry out disarmament in accordance with the territory actually controlled by everyone as a reference standard?
This head office is, the larger the area of ​​the colonies that need to be protected, the more naval warships are needed. This time the actual situation has been considered! Gray said very dissatisfied
Uchida was so speechless that he was speechless. Is this different from the previous two?
It seems that it is even worse for Japan!
The area actually controlled by the British Empire is more than 30 million square kilometers; the area actually controlled by the French is also more than 12 million square kilometers; the actual area controlled by Bulgaria also exceeds 10 million square kilometers.
What about Japan? Less than one million square kilometers ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Disarmament is carried out in proportion. They simply dissolve the navy. It is impossible for a capital ship to stay.
Uchida naturally could not agree. If he dared to agree, the Navy would definitely ask him to make a dirt plane.
"Impossible, Mr. Gray. If you are going to target the Great Japanese Empire in this way, then we will withdraw from this armament conference!" Yachiko Uchida growled.
Exit the meeting? Is it that easy? Gray sneered, "So what's Mr. Uchida's opinion, let's hear it?"
Uchida Yasumi started to worry, it seems that no matter what kind of plan, they are very bad for them, no matter what they are disadvantaged!
