Vol 4 Chapter 105: ,national policy

The German-Austrian coalition command on the eastern front was in a fierce quarrel. Hindenburg and Ludendorff, who had emerged in this battle, had a fierce collision of ideas with the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Fakingham.
Hindenburg and Ludendorff advocated immediately concentrating their forces to kill Huanglong from the Lithuanian region and conquer St. Petersburg before the arrival of the Russian winter; while Fakingham advocated the use of the powerful force to kill the Russians to force the Russians to withdraw from the war.
Hindenburg said angrily: "The commander pays you back. It is too late to take St. Petersburg immediately. Don't have any illusions about the Russians' withdrawal from the war. Our best choice is to fight them so that they dare not fight again!"
Farkingham also roared tit-for-tatly: "No, the Russian winter is coming soon. If I choose to attack St. Petersburg, I must complete it within this short month!
This is impossible. Don’t forget that we are still more than 300 kilometers away from St. Petersburg. The Russians still have at least half a million troops in St. Petersburg.
Once we let them realize our goal, they can concentrate one million troops in St. Petersburg within a week, and this number will expand to 1.5 million within half a month!
Can you get to St. Petersburg in a week? Even if the Russians let you go directly, we can't do it!
According to your plan, when we break through the blockade of the Russians and arrive in St. Petersburg, winter will have already come. If we are unlucky, we will be on the way and winter will come!
Fight against polar bears in temperatures of minus 20 or 30 degrees, you are such a lunatic! "
Ludendorff took his words: "No, Commander! If we give up a large amount of supplies and force a raid, we can still reach St. Petersburg within a week!
Let the navy send our supplies to Tallinn, where can we get supplies, and then attack immediately, now the main force of the Russian army is almost consumed, it is impossible to defend St. Petersburg with a mob of Russians! "
Fakingham shook his head with anger, and said two words: "Madman!"
I have to say that Hindenburg and Ludendorff’s idea of ​​a golden partner is crazy. This is a risk. The benefits of success are great, and once the Allies fail, they are almost the same.
After a moment of silence, Fakingham spoke again: "I don't care what you think, I will stop now. I can't take the German Empire's national transport to give you a gamble!
Please remember, both of you, it is your bounden duty to obey orders as a soldier! Now I order you to take the troops to grab food and supplies for me. The people in the country still need us to find food for them to pass the winter, see! "
"Yes!" the two said in unison.
Unable to persuade the commander-in-chief Fakingham, Hindenburg and Ludendorff did not think they could persuade the German Supreme Commander, they could only use it to do a job with little technical content-robbery!
Yes, this battle has been fought until now, and the Germans have no intention of continuing their offensive. The battle line is getting longer and longer and it is becoming more and more difficult to supply supplies. Rather than risking to continue fighting, it is better to stop now.
Now the domestic food supply in Germany is very tight. Due to the British blockade, the Germans now have only two food import channels: Denmark and the Netherlands. Others like Sweden, Norway, and Switzerland have not high food production. , There is not much to sell.
Not only did the Germans have a hard time, but the Austro-Hungarian Empire was the same. As one of the most important grain-changing countries in Europe, they could not guarantee self-sufficiency due to the war.
Therefore, it is the consensus of the top leaders of the two countries to go to Russia to grab food. If they did not get enough food, it would be difficult for Germany and Austria to survive 1917.
In order to prevent the domestic people from going hungry, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Fa Jinhan, did not care so much, and directly issued the task of collecting food to the troops. No matter how they did it, he only needed food.
In order to raise food quickly, everyone's methods are naturally not so civilized. For example, the granaries of capitalists were directly confiscated, and the granaries of nobles were naturally confiscated.
I have to say that the Germans are still very clever. They just focus on the Russian capitalists and nobles who have a lot of food, while ordinary people are not within the scope of the search. Of course, the more important thing is that they cannot be searched.
There is no raid on ordinary people, but can their lives be unaffected? The answer is no. The Germans also hope to force local people to cooperate with them through food.
The first thing that can't stand it is the citizens of the city. The capitalists' food has been confiscated, and the food shops are naturally closed. Then where can they buy food?
Naturally it is a grain shop opened by the German and Austrian occupation forces! Is it really that simple? Obviously not, the Germans don't charge rubles!
Mettlach is an ordinary citizen of Lviv, but also a victim. Because of the arrival of the German-Austrian coalition forces, his family's life will not be able to pass.
"My dear, what should we do? The ruble is about the same as waste paper. We can't buy anything. There is not much food in our house!" asked his wife, AKRIS.
Mettlach smiled bitterly and said: "Why don't I go to the factory occupied by the Germans, they are now recruiting people to resume production."
Akoris shook her head and said, "If you work for the enemy and the government comes back in the future, what should you do? They will send you to prison!"
Mettlach nodded and said: "But now we are almost out of food. If we don't work for the enemy, we will starve to death!
Are we also going to escape? No way!
Now there are turmoil everywhere, and we have to take the children, where can we go? "
Akelice’s tears have already flowed out, crying and said: "Sorry, I shouldn't stop you before! If we leave Lviv before the enemy arrives, this will not happen!"
"No! It has nothing to do with you, it's just that bunch of useless that lost too fast. We just received the news that the enemy had occupied Livov in less than three days. We were able to run away in such a short time. Where is it?" Mettlach comforted
Akoris stopped crying and said, "Unfortunately, we have no money, otherwise we will take the children and leave Europe to a place where there is no war."
...
The biggest impact of this world war was that a large number of Europeans left the European University 6 in order to escape the war and settled in the Americas. It can be said that it was this great immigration that laid the foundation for the rise of the United States in the future!
After all, there are only a few people who can leave, and most of them are like Mettlach who want to leave but cannot leave.
With the rapid advancement of the German-Austrian coalition forces, the number of refugees in Bulgaria began to increase exponentially.
The wealthy people came first. Their purpose was to leave Europe to escape the war. They were just a transit in Bulgaria.
Unfortunately, they were targeted by the unscrupulous Ferdinand, and it was not so easy to leave.
When they arrived in Bulgaria, they were dumbfounded. The ruble was almost a waste of paper. The exchange rate before the war is now obsolete. Before the war, 1 lev = o.375 rubles, now 1 lev = 15o rubles, and This figure continues to depreciate.
Although Russia has also suffered from inflation, it is not so severe? It is a pity that this is Bulgaria, and there are only three major banks that can do currency exchange business. This is obviously taking advantage of the fire, even worse than robbery!
In an instant, the crazy depreciation more than 400 times, no one can bear it!
Fortunately, there is no possibility of devaluation. Bulgaria's prices are almost the same as before the war. They can exchange levs and live a very rich life.
It’s miserable if you bring rubles, and you can’t spend it at all. I thought that tens of thousands of rubles would still be a huge sum of money, but I didn’t expect to buy a ticket to America.
No way. Everyone knows how the current economic situation in Russia is. The devaluation of the ruble is inevitable. The most important thing is that the ruble cannot be spent at all, and the capitalists naturally reject it.
Of course, it’s just for ordinary people. At least Ferdinand can take the ruble to Russia to buy and buy. Although Russian prices have skyrocketed several times, it does not affect his profit margin.
If you don’t have money, you can’t leave. Either stay in Bulgaria and find a job to make money, or go home. This multiple-choice question is very simple. As long as you are not stupid, you know that Russia is in a turbulent situation and it is not suitable for life.
Although many people are worried that the German-Austrian coalition forces will attack Bulgaria soon, and peace is not long, but it is still safe right now? Wait until you have raised enough tolls, and then leave!
Due to the sudden increase in the population, the shortage of labor originally caused by the war has now been filled by refugees. Instead, there is a thriving scene.
Of course, the arrival of a large number of refugees also brought hidden dangers to Bulgaria's social security. However, it is a time of war. It cannot be said that it is "three steps one post, five steps one post", but the militias all over the street are still indispensable.
Anyone who dared to endanger public order would be suppressed by the local militia, and then sent directly into the mine.
At this time, Constantine is reporting the results to Ferdinand: "Your Majesty, the number of refugees from Russia has skyrocketed in recent months. In August alone, we received 460,000 Russian refugees. This number will continue to grow.
Now the total number of refugees in the country has exceeded 4 million, of which Russian refugees account for a quarter, and the rest are Romanian refugees.
The Romanian refugees have been resettled before. Most of them have joined the army. They are now serving in the Asia Minor Peninsula. The rest are still in the refugee camps except for some old and weak. The others are basically resettled. .
Of these more than one million Russian refugees, about a quarter have come to seek relatives and friends.
The other three quarters are for the government to come forward to resettle, but the problem is not big. It is expected that most of them can find jobs this month.
With the arrival of the refugee tide, the shortage of manpower we are worried about is no longer a problem. But as a price, we will put more than 1,000 tons of relief food every day from now on, and this number is still increasing, and it may double in two or three months!
The Cabinet has decided to resettle the subsequent refugees to Asia Minor, in order to resume agricultural production there as soon as possible, laying the foundation for the future! "
Ferdinand nodded in satisfaction, sending a group of refugees there first, and then entrusting a group of military aristocrats after the war. You can also migrate a part of the population from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Bulgaria's foundation in Asia Minor will be stabilized.
The only trouble is the large number of Romanians in the country. Although the previous war has reduced the Romanian population by more than one million, and the immigration has caused the Ottomans to kill more than one million, the Romanian population has once again become Skyrocketed.
Although there is no census, it is preliminary estimated that the number of Romanians in the actual control area of ​​Bulgaria has already exceeded 7 million, making it the second largest ethnic group after the Slavs.
Ferdinand asked: "Ms. Romanians in China, what does the government plan to do? If one is not handled properly, it will leave a very big hidden danger to the future!"
Constantine thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Romania in Transylonia was originally part of the Kingdom of Hungary. After the war is over, we can send them back to our country!
As a result, the number of Romanians in our country has been directly reduced by half, and they have been scattered to various places, greatly reducing the threat.
At the same time, we can continue to emigrate to the colonies, continuously diluting their proportion of the population in a region, and gradually assimilate them. "
Obviously, Constantine was preparing to move eastward. The Romanians in Transylonia were indeed part of the Kingdom of Hungary before the war, but they are obviously not anymore.
They do not have any sense of identity with the Kingdom of Hungary, but these Romanians also have no sense of identity with Bulgaria.
There are more than seven million Romanians, and Ferdinand is not sure that they can assimilate them. Although they are also deeply influenced by Slavic culture, they are indeed two ethnic groups. It is not easy for different nations to assimilate!
But if this number is reduced by half, there are only more than three million people left in UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, this difficulty will be greatly reduced!
The big deal is to throw 1.8 million to overseas colonies. As long as the Romanians in any region account for less than 20% of the total population, they will not be able to make the waves.
As for what will happen to the Kingdom of Hungary, Ferdinand doesn't care about this issue. Anyway, the defeated country has no human rights and it is not their turn to make decisions.
Suddenly Ferdinand thought of another question, so he asked: "What if the Russians annex Hungary? They have no shortage of population. They must be not interested in accepting this group of Romanians. What should we do then?"
After thinking about it, Constantine said fiercely: "Then let the Romanians establish their own country, but they have to change their territory. Jordan is a good place, and Libya can also be considered!"
Ferdinand was taken aback for a moment. This attention was still really dark. Originally, Jordan was prepared for the Greeks. Their domestic population is only over one million, so naturally there is no problem.
But now there are more than seven million Romanians. I am afraid that the problem of survival alone is a big problem that will plague the Romanian people in the future! Not to mention Libya, you can't let Romanians eat sand!
It's a pity that Ferdinand can't think of a good way. From the perspective of strategic security, the Balkans will definitely not be able to divide a piece of land and let them establish a country!
As for Romania as a buffer between Russia and Russia, Ferdinand never thought that unless they were allowed to establish a country in Moldova, it would be impossible. Bulgaria could not give its own door to its enemies to guard!
After a while, Constantine lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, or we will let the army..."
