Vol 5 Chapter 86: Relocation

A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Chinese Vertex), the fastest update! No ads !? Sofia in 1926, has a bit of a modern city look.
High-rise buildings have risen to the ground. Although there are no skyscrapers with a hundred-story high-rise, dozens and twenty-story buildings are still everywhere.
Affected by Ferdinand, Bulgarian cities have very wide roads in design. Like the capital Sofia, according to Ferdinand's requirements, the initial design can accommodate 10 million people and allow 3 million cars to pass.
Even the office areas of various industries are distributed in different areas. Generally speaking, it is regular, which is also a characteristic of Bulgaria.
The current population of Sofia has exceeded three million, making it the largest city in Bulgaria and the third largest city in Europe after London and Paris (here, Greater Paris).
From the perspective of the city's development potential, in fact, Constantinople has even more advantages. As the gateway to the Black Sea, the number of ships passing here every year exceeds 10,000. It is the most prosperous commercial port in Bulgaria.
Even if the government did not invest much, Constantinople has now become the second largest city in Bulgaria, but the atmosphere of commercialization is too strong, Ferdinand does not like it.
In fact, after the start of the Crimean Peninsula, Bulgaria proposed to move the capital of Constantinople, but not many people supported it.
In history and culture, although Sofia is not as good as Constantinople and Athens, it is also in the top five in Bulgaria.
Economically, it is still the largest city in Bulgaria, but it will be surpassed by Constantinople at most in two or three years.
In terms of security, Sofia and Constantinople are similar. Both cities are now far from the border and there is no threat of war.
Geographically, Constantinople is obviously more advantageous, located at the junction of Eurasia and enjoying the advantages of the strait.
Constantinople has so many advantages, but only inferior to Sofia in one point, that is, politics.
Sofia is the birthplace of Bulgaria. The public has the highest support for the government, and it is also the foundation of the Bulgarian system. It has an unparalleled position in politics.
Most of the people who support the relocation of Constantinople are the old and the bereaved, and some capitalists. Obviously, they do not have enough power to speak politically.
The so-called support is to sip a few voices among the people, and even the members of the bill are not enough in Congress, and the government does not have a spokesperson for their interests.
And there are more people who support the capital of Sofia. The high-level military and political circles, the Bulgarian people who have more than eight floors, and Ferdinand himself.
Needless to say, everyone knows that the location of the capital also involves great interests.
People who want to relocate the capital of Constantinople are nothing more than increasing their political say through relocating the capital and changing Bulgaria's national policy!
Before the end of the World War, there were discussions about moving the capital, such as moving the capital to Belgrade, which means that Bulgaria's strategic goal for the European continent is that the Austro-Hungarian Empire must not have survived the war.
Another example: moving the capital to Athens, which indicates that Bulgaria is competing for the Mediterranean, and the maritime strategy will become the core strategy of Bulgaria in the future.
There are also proposals to move the capital to Bucharest, which means the end of the honeymoon period between Bulgaria and Russia, and Bulgaria's next strategy is to attack Russia.
Could Ferdinand change Bulgaria's national policy now? Obviously, it is impossible. If the capital of Constantinople is moved, isn't it to provide a platform for capitalists and relics?
Even if Ferdinand Ken agreed, it would not pass in the country, which marked the collapse of Bulgaria's existing system and would enter the era of capitalism.
To move the capital to the people of the country, only idiots can do it, just like many people say why the British did not move to the Americas, and the Spanish did not move to South America.
It's not that they don't know the benefits of moving the capital, the problem is that the consequences are too serious.
In contrast, Constantinople, the capital of Bulgaria, did not even have actual benefits. In addition to being good-looking, it was to trouble itself.
No one has stipulated that the capital of a country must be in the most developed city, which means a waste of resources.
If possible, Ferdinand wouldn't mind moving the capital to a small city with birds and flowers, away from the bustling metropolis of industry and commerce.
Now Sofia is also undergoing de-industrialization.
Since 1908, there has been no additional factory in Sofia. Except for the city necessities in slaughterhouses, power plants and printing plants, other factories have been relocated.
That's why Constantinople's economy can catch up with Sofia so quickly.
According to the current plan, Sofia's 100-kilometre-wide area is prohibited from any factory that pollutes the environment, including large-scale polluting factories including chemical plants and steel mills. All urban sewage must be purified before being discharged.
Within a 200-kilometer radius, the occurrence of heavily polluting factories is prohibited, and the atmospheric pollution standards must also meet the environmental protection standards proposed by Bulgaria.
In contrast, coastal cities are much more convenient. Now everyone is discharging into the sea. Ferdinand is not an extreme environmentalist. He knows that environmental protection is not realistic in this era.
Protect the environment around Sofia, that is, he lives in Sofia, and can't even hang with himself!
As a price, as of 1930, Sofia will become a metropolis with basically no industrial pollution, the speed of urban economic development has been delayed for at least two decades, and economic losses have reached tens of billions of levs.
It is impossible to promote it to the whole country. To industrialize such a tall thing, let Britain and France play it!
However, in this era, Britain and France did not get rid of pollution. Their domestic chemical plants and steel mills still remained in place. Most of the people who moved away were textile mills and clothing cities, labor-intensive enterprises.
It is clear that Bulgaria's current policy is tilting towards the original Bulgarian fundamentals. The importance of environmental protection has long been recognized by senior government officials.
Everyone wants to live for a few more years. They do n’t want to live a fragrant car, fine wine, or a smelly London life. It is understandable to use the power in their hands to protect the home environment.
This is also acquiesced by Ferdinand. He has also been to London and Paris. At present, Sofia's pollution is arguably the lightest in major cities around the world, at least not seeing industrial smog.
In order to dispose of garbage, there are now special cargo ships that are pulled to the African colonies for treatment. It can be said that Ferdinand has taken the lead in environmentalism.
Of course, this is limited to the mainland, and the garbage in the colony is piled up directly. Basically, it is directly burned. It does not fall directly on the ground, even if his morality is noble.
"Your Majesty, the Russians are hooked, they have officially invited us to discuss the issue of land transactions!" Metiev said happily
For the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this is almost an accomplishment. For him personally, being able to add one more to his resume is also worth celebrating.
Even though he has been hailed as the most outstanding diplomat of the 20th century, who would take too much credit for himself? There is no such thing as a high-power earthquake in Bulgaria. Matev naturally wants to get more achievements!
"Very good, first test the bottom line of the Russians and see if they intend to sell those territories this time. There are only two principles. We do n’t want to enclave, we do n’t want Russian Poland, other regions are free!" Ferdinand said with a smile
Despite the fact that the Russians brought them to their door, Bulgaria was still unable to specify specific places due to the relationship between the two countries. They could only buy where the Russians sold them.
In this way, no matter what happens in the future, no one can accuse Bulgaria of robbery while the fire is on, although it is also robbery while the fire is on.
How many troops are there in the Russian Empire? Ferdinand can definitely say that there are more than eight million, of which more than three million belong to Nicholas II, and the other two are more than two million each.
If the firepower of the three parties is on, how much will it cost each year? With reference to the World War, you know that war spending of one billion pounds a year is really not a problem!
Obviously, the civil war in Russia cannot reach this intensity. At least the weapons of mass destruction within the gas bombs are tacitly chosen by both sides.
During the war, everyone also consciously reduced civilian casualties. Of course, the Moscow government is an exception. In the national war they launched, old women and young children went to battle.
No matter how much money is saved, the war funding of £ 350 million a year is still indispensable, and the funding gap is very large.
Thinking of this, Ferdinand had to vomit Nicholas II, where is the political means! These are all civil wars, shouting and killing for so long, you orthodox tsars, anyway, are going to be politically induced?
In the case of military dominance ~ EbookFREE.me ~ just use money to buy opponents? Is there no intention in the Russian army opposite him?
At this point, it is clear that Nicholas II did not do as well as bald. At least when the warlords scuffled, let this be neutral today, and let it be defeated tomorrow!
The advantage of Nicholas II is much greater, and legitimacy is very important in the European continent. For example, many countries in Europe now support the little Nicholas in secret, but no country recognizes their legitimacy. !!
Now Nicholas II is still the only legal Tsar. This is his greatest advantage. He is a big stick and a sweet date. Are he afraid he can't solve the enemy?
No matter how much, end the civil war and deal with it slowly. Once the war is over, disarm first. Without the troops in hand, how can these people fight him?
"Yes, Your Majesty! I understand what to do, but I don't know how the Russians thought about it this time!" Mev said
"This is not important, anyway, the bigger their appetite, the greater the price they paid! Whether it is in the Ukraine or the Caucasus, as long as they are willing to sell, we can buy it!" Ferdinand calmly said
This is obvious, depending on how much money the Nicholas II government wants to get. Anyway, as long as it is paid by Lev, the Bulgarian government is not afraid of no money!
The money fell into the hands of the Russians and eventually returned to Bulgaria again. The government could return at least 30 to 40 percent of the funds through various taxes. Ferdinand did not really care about the price.
If the Russians are willing to bleed, it is really possible to sell a sky-high price. After all, land in this era is not of high value in people's minds. European land has to wait until the colonial system collapses.
