Vol 4 Chapter 125: , Embarrassed

In Ferdinand's view, the government's funding to rescue the market after the war was really cost-effective. Most of these companies are high-quality industries, but they were hit hard by the war. Normal operations can be resumed as long as there is a flow of funds.
Even the excess capacity ceased to exist after the war. After the end of the World War, Bulgaria’s population will inevitably skyrocket. Refugees + the population of the new territory + the large family of mercenaries + the original domestic population> 40 million, if you calculate the expansion of Bulgaria's sphere of influence, it will eventually form a A big market with a population of 50 or 60 million!
Well, this "big market" is also relatively speaking. It is incomparable with Britain, France and Russia. The colonial market Ferdinand has no expectations, just look at the map.
There are basically not many people in Bulgaria's vast colony. Don't expect the purchasing power of those nomads!
In Ferdinand's view, it is better to create a market without a market. With the current land area and resources of Bulgaria, even if the population increases by three or five times, it is not a problem. Then the family planning policy can still continue. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
As the population increases, the market naturally increases. At the same time, the new population will consume a lot of people's wealth and strengthen their spirit of struggle!
...
After taking stock of the gains he has already obtained, Ferdinand had to lament that war is the best way to get rich.
If it hadn't been for this world war and allowed Bulgaria to develop slowly, even if it had been planted for more than a hundred and eighty years, it would not have been possible to have the current wealth.
In terms of industrial technology, after the birth of this world war, it can be said that Bulgaria has largely caught up with countries such as Britain and France.
The biggest gain is still the territory. These new lands have laid the foundation for Bulgaria’s future exhibition. The only thing that does not have a fly in the ointment is that there are more than 80% of the land and desert!
Planting trees and afforestation, turning the desert into an oasis? This is a good idea. At least it can be used when there is an economic crisis. It is better than learning from Roosevelt to build roads, "repair and dismantle, dismantle and repair", and rely on waste to increase jobs! &1t;i>&1t;/i>
Of course, it's still too early, Ferdinand is busy teaching his son right now! He is busy cultivating little Ferdinand to handle government affairs. Simply speaking of these issues, he throws it all at once to little Ferdinand so that he can come up with a policy plan!
Not only the crown prince Ferdinand, but even the other little guys, he has not let go. Everyone has political assignments of different difficulty.
This is definitely not his laziness, it is entirely for the purpose of cultivating the children's ability to govern, and besides the answers given by these little guys, he dare not use it!
For example: How should the Iraqi region be governed after the war? How to deal with ethnic relations?
The answer given by Ferdinand is: military control + immigration! The locals all send it to Iran next door, or just find a piece of land and throw it away...
Peter's answer is: Go to a concentration camp and send all the disobedient people to plant trees! &1t;i>&1t;/i>
The answer given by Caesar is: immigration + tutu tutu
...
There is no doubt that the princes of Bulgaria have been trained as hawks by Ferdinand. Of course, it is difficult to cultivate doves in this period!
And it is nationwide, the younger the younger, the more radical! These are all sequelae caused by the World War. To reverse this situation, only after the end of the World War, the civil warlike thoughts have weakened.
There is no alternative to this. Not only Bulgaria, but the younger generations of the world’s major participating countries are now the main fighters. The reason is very simple-it was bludgeoned by public opinion!
After the war is over, many people will calm down before they begin to reflect on the war. The government will also relax the control of public opinion. This situation will change, but it is easy to go to the other extreme-fear of war! &1t;i>&1t;/i>
Therefore, national ideological education after the war has to be put on the agenda again, and Ferdinand has to correct the thoughts of a few little guys, especially Caesar’s "sudden", can this be said?
Even if you want to do it, you have to come a little bit, and you have to find a scapegoat first. It would be even more perfect to be able to kill with a knife!
...
During the war, the efficiency of the governments of various countries was very high. In more than half a month, Valicotte's coalition forces successfully joined forces in the northern Italian city of Trento.
Of course, this is also due to the active cooperation of the Italians, who used their railway network for transportation to complete the meeting in such a short time.
The days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are sad, but with the existence of the Abies, it is not easy for the coalition forces to attack Austria. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
In history, the Italians have all used their strength to feed on milk, but they still failed.
However, the border between Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire is so long and there are always weak points. For example, the defense of the Austrian army in Slovenia is not as strong as Austria!
If the Slovenian region is captured, the Austro-Hungarian navy will be ruined. You must know that once the Bulgarian army enters the Yugoslavian ethnic region, the number of leading parties will definitely be indispensable!
The National Union of Yugoslavia was not open for nothing. Many resistance groups have received weapons and ammunition supported by Bulgaria, and are now waiting for the opportunity.
In fact, when the Allied Forces of the Allied Powers reached the border of Slovenia, the troubles of the Austro-Hungarian Empire had already begun, and many local militia forces chose to be neutral!
They are still loyal to the Habsburg family, but they just swear allegiance to the old emperor, and they have little affection for the newly succeeded Ferdinand II. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
At the same time, many of them also have a good impression of Bulgaria, especially after Ferdinand promised to let them decide the future for themselves, they have won the support of most people. That being the case, why do we have to fight?
Valikot has not determined the direction of the offensive. After all, the attack on Austria will have a greater impact, and the attack on Slovenia will be less difficult. At least there is no need to worry about being caught in the ocean of the People’s War.
Of course, in the wars that have exploded in European countries, there is almost no ocean of people's war because they have too few people and too many enemies!
In Vienna’s Schönbrunn Palace, Ferdinand II is looking at the battle report with a headache. There is no bad news nor good news. The battlefield is still in a state of anxiety. The daily casualties of up to five figures have crushed the old empire of Austria-Hungary. Almost out of breath.
There is no way, Bulgaria is already strong. The long border between the two sides is full of blood. Although the Russians did not fully attack, it is indispensable to organize two or three hundred thousand troops to play a "friendly match" with them. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
Ferdinand II asked with a headache: "Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, the Allied Power has opened up a new front in Italy and directly threatens Austria. What plans does the General Staff have?"
Due to Ferdinand’s butterfly effect, the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is no longer Karl’s idiot, and the position of the Chief of Staff of Conrad is naturally preserved.
Conrad thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the current situation is very unfavorable for us, and even some of the troops have begun to become unstable.
The General Staff is communicating with the Germans, hoping to exchange the troops of 20 divisions with them. We sent troops to the Western Front, and they sent troops to deal with the Allied forces in the Italian region! "
Conrad's worry is very necessary. Because the current situation of the war is very unfavorable to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the ethnic minorities in the country have begun to be unstable.
Perhaps they are still loyal to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but what about the future? People always tend to be profitable. Who knows if they can remain reliable? &1t;i>&1t;/i>
Both Russia and Russia are wooing the Slavic peoples in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Due to geopolitics, the Russians are wooing the West Slavs, and the Bulgarians are wooing the Yugoslavs.
Once the situation changes, it is not impossible for these troops to derail! Perhaps someone is loyal, but humanity cannot stand the test, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire cannot take risks now!
If you swap the army with the Germans, the risk is much smaller. These Slavic troops may be bought when the Bulgarians and Russians fight, but when it comes to the western front, it is difficult for Britain and France to buy them. It's much bigger!
Ferdinand II was very worried and said: "Will the Germans agree? Don't forget that the combat effectiveness of our army is not comparable to the German army?
And it’s inconvenient to command. This messy language is difficult for us to command, and it’s even more difficult for the Germans to command!
&Amp;1t;i>&1t;/i>
Conrad said firmly in German: "Yes! Unless the Germans want to watch us lose, they will definitely give us a hand!
From a military point of view, we are already at a disadvantage on the southern front. Once the Italian front is added, we will not fight it at all. Consumption can kill us!
If we withdraw from this war, the Germans will be one enemy four in three months at most. Even if their 6th armies are more powerful, they will not be able to face enemies several times theirs! "
Ferdinand II nodded, and then asked carefully: "Mr. Conrad, with your professional ability and purely from the military, how likely is it that we will win this war? It's just us, no Including the Germans!"
Conrad thought for a while and said: "If we are alone, we won't be over three levels, and the Germans' odds of winning are less than half!"&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Ferdinand II thought for a while and said: "Well, from a political point of view, we have actually lost this war!
Due to the needs of the war, we now have to rely on the Germans. Even if this war is over, we have to become a vassal state of the Germans!
If we are unable to win, do you think it is necessary for us to continue this war? Doing the wedding dress for the Germans is not worth our lives! "
Conrad's face changed drastically. He really did not expect that the emperor's attitude would have been shaken, but the current Austro-Hungarian Empire did not have the need to carry the war to the end!
However, he still admonished: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that this problem is difficult to handle. The Italians are a lesson for the past!"
Ferdinand II nodded and said: "Indeed, the Italians have been fooled by the British, and John Bull's promise is as unreliable as their morals!"&1t;i>&1t;/ i>
Conrad hesitated and said: "If the conditions are right, we can't withdraw from this war!"
Ferdinand II smiled bitterly and said: "You are thinking too well. The conditions given by the Allied Powers are not good at all, and it can be said to be very harsh!
The Russians want Austria to belong to Poland and Galicia, Bulgaria to most of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as Belgrade and most of Transylonia. "
Conrad's face changed drastically, which meant that decades of hard work of the Austro-Hungarian Empire would be destroyed, and all the newly occupied land was abandoned.
Ferdinand II seemed to see his nervousness, and then said: "This is already considered good. Before the end of the Eastern Front, the Russians had a big appetite. In addition to these requirements, they also gave Czechoslovakia, Hungary, etc. If the region is interested, it’s just about swallowing the Austro-Hungarian Empire in one bite!&1t;i>&1t;/i>
Do you understand? Even if we are withdrawing from the war, we must win the battle of the Southern Front, otherwise the Austro-Hungarian Empire will lose its skin this time! "
In fact, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is not incapable of cede territories. For example, the Transynian Plateau requested by Bulgaria, not to mention half of it, is all.
After all, this has only weakened the Kingdom of Hungary, which is still a good thing for the central government of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but it will not work in other regions, and they cannot afford such a large loss.
Conrad replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, I can't answer this question. I'm afraid the Southern Front will not get the result you want!
Based on the analysis of the actual situation on the battlefield, we judge that the Bulgarians have not done their best, and because the Allied Powers opened up a new front on the Italian border, the last domestic reserve team was also restrained.
If we can’t make the final battle, the problem will be even greater in the later stage. As long as this battle lasts for two or three months, we will lose. The polar bears in the east have been hungry for a winter, and they will definitely be out hunting. ! &1t;i>&1t;/i>
I can only say that we will do our best, but the chances of wanting to win this battle are small! "
Ferdinand II stared at Conrad dumbfounded. He never dreamed that the Chief of Staff of the Austrian Army was so optimistic about war!
It's right to think about it. This is all determined by your own strength. After the war broke out, the combat effectiveness of the Austro-Hungarian army was really unreasonable?
No matter how good a strategy is, don’t it always require people to implement it? The military is not capable of fighting, and any combat plan may become a laughing stock.
After a moment of silence, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Ferdinand said dissatisfied: "Well then, let's pray to God together!"
He never dreamed that he would inherit a messy Austro-Hungarian empire. Not only was he unable to make a breakthrough in the military, but also became passive politically. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
After a pause, Ferdinand II added another sentence: "By the way, the Chief of Staff, your Excellency, remember to beat the Kingdom of Hungary. They are making a mess!"
Conrad nodded. He is clear about the bad things in the Kingdom of Hungary. As the largest grain-producing area in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he actually said that there was a shortage of food, and the central government had to allocate funds to buy food for them!
This is simply a joke. During the war, the Austro-Hungarian Empire also specially formulated a wartime bill to combat hoarding, but when it came to the Kingdom of Hungary, there was nothing like that.
The capitalists’ granaries were still full of grains. The Royal Hungarian government had to take measures to allow them to receive grains from the market. Instead, they stood with the capitalists and demanded that the central government pay them to buy grains from them. Gold payment.
The whole world is watching the jokes of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and its own currency can no longer circulate in its own country. I have to say that this is an irony.
However, Ferdinand II had to find a way to solve the food problem of ordinary people. Hungarian capitalists have openly claimed that the central government took the food, which caused the shortage of food in the Kingdom of Hungary and the increase in food prices!
There is no doubt that these capitalists are retaliating. The government had previously compulsorily purchased a batch of grain from them at a fair price in accordance with the wartime bill.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will make the Hungarians sober!" Conrad said murderously
