Vol 5 Chapter 1: , New era-development

The conclusion of the Paris Peace Conference does not mean that the world is truly peaceful. For example, Japan refused to sign at the Peace Conference, because the Paris Peace Conference led by the Big Three greatly restricted their exhibition space.
Not only have to lose most of the German Pacific Islands that have already been acquired, but also be forced to abandon the German sphere of influence in the Far East. This is unacceptable to the Japanese government!
Of course, if you don’t sign, you don’t sign. The strength of Britain and France in this era is much stronger, but Japan is much weaker than after World War I in history. Under one strong and one weak, Britain and France will naturally not give in!
I don’t know how long the Japanese can hold on. In any case, they have no allies. Even the Americans who were also suppressed at the peace meeting stood on the opposite side of them!
Britain and France told the world with reality, it's better not to provoke them. The Japanese made up 21 items. They didn't have the energy to intervene during the war. Now they have shot the Japanese back to the prototype again!
...
This is just the beginning. The signing of the Versailles Treaty has brought heavy economic burdens to the Germans and laid the foundation for the revival of the German economy.
However, the Germans also saved more territory than in the same period in history. For example, under the strong opposition of Russia and Austria, the British did not want to overly weaken the Germans, and German Poland was not independent.
At the same time, the French gained greater rights and interests in the east, directly pushing the border line to the Rhine. The Treaty of Versailles allowed the French to directly increase the population by more than 10 million, an increase of 6% of the territory.
If you add the French harvest in Italy, after the end of the world war, the French native area increased by 13.5%, the population increased by 37%, and the total population once exceeded 54%. More than one million.
Fortunately, most of these partially increased populations do not catch a cold from the French Republic, and they still consider themselves Germans or Italians, otherwise the British will not be able to sleep.
Now John Bull is also at a disadvantage. After the end of the world war, the land areas of France and Bulgaria have been expanded, but their land areas are restricted by the British Isles and cannot expand to Europe. Looking around is the sea. There is no direction for exhibition.
The gains from the Mediterranean are quite substantial, but the gains from the colonies are negligible, and the allies’ wealth is still too thin.
...
Even more unacceptable are the Americans. Although they have obtained substantial economic benefits, their status has not been recognized internationally. Not only can they not be compared with the British, they even have to subdue to the protection of the two countries. , Which makes them difficult to accept!
These series of factors have also become the main contradiction in the future world! The inability to obtain an international status commensurate with their own strength prompted the Americans to give blood to the Germans after the war...
The cabinet minister on duty, Chekov, reported to Ferdinand in a serious manner: "Your Majesty, there has just been news that there is another revolution in Moscow, and the Bolshevik Party has come to power and established the Soviet Republic!"
Well, in fact, this is not big news. The Russian Empire is divided into three, and one of the regimes has changed, and it has not affected the world situation.
What is different is that this time the Russians established a proletarian regime, which attracted everyone's attention, but that was all.
The "October Revolution" exploded by the Russians was just Ferdinand's attention, and everyone's eyes focused on the Paris Peace Conference.
The establishment of the Soviet regime in Russia is inseparable from the wanton behavior of the capitalists. A government composed entirely of capitalists and a country without any restrictions can know what will happen if you think about it.
Ferdinand knew that the "October Revolution of the Russians" in history was the beginning of a new era, but he didn't know it in this time and space. The new Moscow Soviet government is still living a precarious life.
Caught in the center by the two great czarist regimes, once the ending is almost doomed, the difference in strength between the two sides can be described as a heavenly difference. Anyway, Ferdinand doesn't think they can pick two!
(Forget about the haunting of the Harmony Mythical Beasts, let's take them in one stroke!)
...
The World War ended, and the Treaty of Versailles was passed back to Bulgaria, which immediately caused a sensation. Bulgaria's reparations and colony in the World War were ignored. Instead, they were more concerned about the establishment of the "Big Three" status!
For ordinary people, the status that Bulgaria has achieved in the world this time is what they are most worth showing off. From now on, Bulgaria has appeared on the international stage and will no longer appear as a younger brother of the Russian Empire.
Even if it is an extreme pro-Russian faction, no one wants to continue to be a little brother now. It is good to be an old man. This feeling is really cool!
The pro-Russian issue that has been plagued by the Bulgarian government has been completely resolved. From now on, the Bulgarian government has completely got rid of the influence of the Russians.
The human factor is so subtle. After the explosion, the pro-Russian faction who originally admired the Russian system has now transformed into an anti-Russian vanguard. They believe that the Russian system has completely fallen behind the era and is destined to be eliminated by the era. , And the Bulgarian system is the choice of the times!
...
In addition, dramatic changes have taken place in Russia. The tsarist government set off a wave of learning from the Bulgarian system, which was promoted by Nicholas II.
He also has no choice. The Russian Empire is now dying. Their own system is definitely out of date, and the rest can only learn from abroad!
The republican system of the Americans and the French, Nicholas II would definitely not be able to learn. Whoever dares to learn is his enemy.
Studying the British constitutional monarchy, but he was too courageous and afraid of going to the guillotine. After all, he and the British king who went to the guillotine are similar to him in some respects.
Learning from the Japanese, the Russian Empire said they could not afford to lose that person. After looking around for a week, they suddenly realized that there is still a little brother who can learn, and the original constitutional system of Bulgaria was formulated by the Russian and Western parties, and Ferdinand only modified it!
This is wonderful for the Westerners in Russia. Facts have proved the correctness of their theory. A small country with a population of only three or four million and a territory of less than 100,000 square kilometers is based on their ideal political system. Under this situation, they have become world-class powers in just 30 to 40 years. Is this enough to prove the superiority of their system?
As for Ferdinand’s opening to Bulgaria, it was automatically ignored by them. This was caused by the superiority of their political system. Ferdinand was at best a great king. Bulgaria’s growth was due to the superiority of their system. of!
Otherwise, if they had started a republic, wouldn't it be nothing? If there is no king in Bulgaria, there will be no Ferdinand whatsoever!
...
As soon as the Paris Peace Conference ended, the Constantine delegation set off on its way home. The issue of selling creditor's rights was still caused by officials from the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who were arguing with the consortium. This could not end in a short while.
As one of the "Big Three", Constantine's trip to Paris is still very beautiful, it can be described as a full return, but the biggest winner is Ferdinand, he is waving banknotes, buying and buying in Germany!
For example, a German steel factory worth hundreds of millions of marks can now be taken away by Ferdinand with an amount of 1.8 million, especially in Southern Germany, in Bulgaria’s military district, in addition to the cost of demolition and relocation. You don't need to give it to them, one by one German factories just disappeared.
That's right, the directness is gone. The one who can do such a big thing is naturally a powerful faction like Ferdinand. Anyway, the unfortunate ones are all Germans, who cares so much!
If you have opinions, you can protest to the garrison. They will be responsible for explaining all the causes and consequences!
And it is not just the factory that is being relocated. In many cases, it is also packaged with the engineers. Anyway, Bulgaria is about to open Asia Minor, and I am not afraid that it will not be able to absorb the production capacity.
For the purpose of limiting the war potential of the Germans, Britain and France are also dismantling the German heavy industry, especially the French, who wish they could dismantle every single screw of the Germans.
As in history, many factories were demolished by them, and they suddenly realized that they didn't need them at all. There were no capitalists in China who were willing to take over. They couldn't find buyers if they wanted to sell them, and finally returned them to the Germans in a comic manner.
But this time is different. With Ferdinand, a wealthy buyer, sweeping goods on the market at a price not higher than the market price, the Germans' heavy industry system in the Ruhr area suffered a fatal blow.
As for whether the Germans can recover in the future, Ferdinand doesn't care anymore. Anyway, it is more important to strengthen Bulgaria, or it is more important to make money in his pocket.
Anyway, in history, the German heavy industry was also dismantled by the Allies, but no one was willing to take over in the later period. After being idle for a period of time by a group of idiots, it was returned to the Germans.
This time is different. According to incomplete statistics, from the end of 1917 to the beginning of 1919, in just over a year, Bulgaria had demolished more than 580 large and medium-sized factories from Germany.
These included one-third of the German steel plants, one-fourth of the shipyards, nearly half of the chemical plants and pharmaceutical plants, and a large number of high-tech industries at that time.
And in the five years after the end of the world war, the number of immigrants from Germany to Bulgaria reached more than 50 million. No one knows how many of these are voluntary.
Anyway, the Bulgarian army has repeatedly sent troops to these elites and ensure that they and their families arrive in Bulgaria safely.
It was the selfless dedication of the Germans that allowed Bulgaria to achieve a rapid economic development after the war, and quickly became the largest industrial country in Europe!
...
After the successful conclusion of the Paris Peace Conference, Ferdinand held a celebration banquet for the Constantine delegation and honored them.
For example: Ferdinand divided the five dukes and seven marquis in one breath. The four generals including the military were all dukes. In addition to adding dukes to the cabinet, everyone else became marquis and the army. The three of Fang formed the Seven Marquis!
Of course, these people are all imaginary titles, and Ferdinand is not so proud yet, and there is also a strict system of title promotion in Bulgaria. Theoretically, the possibility of conferring a duke is almost zero!
After all, it is a fief of up to one million hectares. How can Ferdinand be easily obtained? In theory, as long as someone can unify Eurasian VI, the credit is almost the same. In fact, Ferdinand only drew a big pie. Perhaps through the efforts of dozens of generations, it is possible to give birth to a duke!
After all, among all the nobles in Bulgaria, there is no earl in the highest real title, and the difference between the duke is too far.
Also because of this, the status of the fief aristocracy is much higher than that of the imaginary aristocracy, after all, it can be hereditary!
Ferdinand also officially formulated strict standards of nobility, and now Bulgarian nobles have been recognized by mainstream European society. Otherwise, a group of exploding households will start on the same level as these old nobles and others will not recognize it!
In addition to announcing these high-ranking titles at the banquet, Ferdinand also threw out more than 40 earls, more than 380 viscounts, more than 2,500 barons, more than 8,000 knights and More than 20,000 Lords.
The Bulgarian aristocratic system was thus established, and most of the knights in it were sealed. After World War I, many people still made great contributions. There were still a lot of merits in the 150 hectares of military field. Enough of people!
This also means that Ferdinand is no longer rootless. A noble class loyal to the king has been established. With the end of the enfeoffment, they will go deep into Bulgaria and consolidate the foundation of Ferdinand's rule.
No way, Ferdinand rummaged through the history books of ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, and finally now has to digest the most scientific method of knighthood of the new territory. As long as a bunch of nobles take root in the local area, the possibility of regenerating independence is very small.
On the contrary, the method of civil rule is prone to repetitions, and one who is not paying attention will lead to rebellion and independence. This is the case both in ancient and modern times!
In the same way, in order to restrict the nobles from growing bigger, Ferdinand also made strict restrictions, that is, the nobles did not have the right to establish cities, and all cities in Bulgaria must be controlled by the government!
In addition, the term of the nobility in the local government has also been strictly limited. Basically, they must be sent abroad after two full terms to prevent the expansion of local factions.
Of course, these questions are still early! Now these nobles go to places as builders. Many places have become deserted due to the war. Their main task in the past was to take root in the place and develop the local economy.
Compared to the real nobles, most of the people who obtained the enfeoffment of the land were ordinary soldiers who made military exploits. There are many of them, and although they don’t get a lot of land, as long as they are willing to choose to go to more remote areas, they can invest to buy less than ten times the area of ​​the military field!
The standards vary from place to place. UU reading www.uukanshu.com, for example, flows in the Balkan Peninsula, that is, as much as the actual fiefdom, without the slightest discount; while those who go to Asia Minor can buy 5% Ten to twice as much land.
Of course, the place where you can buy ten times the land area is naturally Africa. In order to open remote areas, basically the more remote the land, the lower the land price. The land in Africa 6 is basically free, Feidi The south is dumping at a low price of 100 lev per hectare!
It's just that in order to ensure the interests of Bulgarian military aristocrats, it has not been fully sold. In fact, not many people can move anymore. After all, the Balkan Peninsula is now the core of Bulgaria!
The military achievements of these millions of soldiers will be released. Asia Minor, Syria, Palestine, Iraq, Persian Gulf and other regions will become the focus of Bulgaria in the next ten years. Among them, Asia Minor is the core, which can almost be said to be the Balkan Peninsula. Get the same level of attention from the government!
As for the Arabian Peninsula, it’s a bit behind. Ferdinand estimates that he can drive there in the next ten years. As for Africa, let’s let it go. It is impossible for Bulgaria to invest tens of billions of lev for the African colony. Of opening funds.
The initial goal is to send a group of refugees over, establish several cities in coastal areas, entrust some nobles to manage them in the past, and open up local properties as appropriate, so that they can make initial profits.
As for the worst in Africa, Ferdinand thinks it is more appropriate to exile prisoners. It is a good choice to send the diehards who are not willing to carry out national integration in Bulgarian territory!
