Vol 5 Chapter 51: , Food Project for the Chaotic World

Half a month later, the ten-year plan was finally approved by Congress. Ferdinand's good mood did not last long, and the Ministry of Finance submitted a report on the world economy.
To be precise, it is the European Economic Report. With the division of the United States, the world economy now mainly depends on the European continent.
The aftereffects of the world war have finally been manifested. The reason for the economic recession of European countries is not because of the loss of a large number of people due to wars in later generations, which caused a shortage of labor and triggered an economic crisis.
In fact, whether it is British or French, the number of unemployed people is rising sharply. It can only be said that cheap industrial products are not that easy to use.
Under the impact of German industrial and commercial products, many British and French enterprises engaged in processing and manufacturing were forced to close their doors. According to the speculation of the Ministry of Finance, the number of unemployed people in Britain will increase by one million in 1921!
The French will be even more miserable, and their unemployment will increase more rapidly than the British, at least 1.3 million!
The consequences of so many unemployed people are undoubtedly very serious. Under normal circumstances, the government should take measures to contain the economic crisis.
It is a pity that now a large number of German-Italian claims have been transferred to the hands of the consortium, and it is impossible for them to give up the interests they have already obtained for the sake of national interests.
The British and French governments can only think of other ways to solve the crisis. For example, the French intend to expel Italians and Germans from the territory. At the Paris Peace Conference, they obtained a part of the territory of Germany and Italy, and there were still seven or eight million non-French people.
Of course this is just an idea. Does the French government still want to digest this part of the population? Moreover, expelling these people can easily lead to unpredictable consequences.
Some people have also proposed to exile these people to the colonies to offset the crisis brought about by the Great Depression by reducing the native population and to protect the employment of the French.
The British are not idle either. They are still in the Commonwealth to release floods. The capitalists have also sold some of these cheap goods into the three kingdoms of the Americas, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, India and other regions.
Looking at the measures taken by Britain and France, Ferdinand was a little bit speechless. Anyway, it was all of them. It has been four years since the end of the World War. The industrial strength of Britain and France is almost standing still and growing every year. The rate is less than one percent.
To know that this is a restorative growth, Ferdinand is very doubtful that they are already preparing to play to industrialization!
Ferdinand thought for a while and asked: "Prime Minister, what do you think of the British and French response?"
Constantine hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, the British and French economic policies are very negative. They seem to really believe the nonsense of letting the market regulate the economy!
It's just their response measures that may cause changes in the international situation. I am worried about Germany and Italy. Now that the two countries have huge foreign debts, the domestic people's livelihood has been suppressed to the limit.
The problem is that the two countries are still food importing countries. They are not able to export many industrial and commercial products every year. If prices continue to fall, their foreign exchange may not be enough to import industrial raw materials, let alone food!
Unless Britain and France are willing to reduce the amount of compensation paid by Germany and Italy, their economies will collapse soon! "
Ferdinand nodded. He remembered that in 1921, in 1921, all countries had reduced the amount of German compensation once, but this time and space was actually lost by him.
The Great Depression in Europe also consumed a large amount of supplies due to the joint operations of various countries against the United States, and received part of the compensation, which successfully transferred part of the crisis from Europe to the American continent.
Now that the Americans are busy building their country independently, more than a dozen kingdoms are still in preparation, and everyone has temporarily ignored the impact of the economic crisis.
Once order returns to normal, a large number of militiamen are disbanded and returned home, and most people are out of work, an economic crisis will unfold in these new kingdoms.
Ferdinand said anxiously: "Well, the situation is probably worse than this. With the exception of the European continent, the economic situation in the world is not ideal, unless governments can forcefully suppress the virtual economy and invest funds like us. In the industry, otherwise this crisis will be inevitable!"
Fortunately, the European continent has just finished the world war. Everyone has no idea of ​​doing things. The outbreak of an economic crisis will cause chaos, but the decision will not immediately lead to war.
The American continent is hard to say. Under the joint efforts of everyone, the newly independent American countries are already full of contradictions.
1. Several southern states (Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana) have formed the Kingdom of South America, which seems to be about to restore the plantation economy again.
2. The states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho on the Pacific coast also jointly formed the North Pacific Kingdom.
3. California, Nevada and Utah united to form the Kingdom of the South Pacific.
4. Montana and Wyoming united to form the Menghuai United Kingdom.
5. Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico united to form the Southwest Kingdom.
6. Texas and Oklahoma unite to form the United Kingdom of Germany and Russia. This name is very domineering. Fortunately, it is just a combination of two US states. If Germany and Russia are united, it is estimated that the whole world will be bombed. The pot is out.
6. Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota united to form the United Kingdom of Dakosota.
7. Missouri, Kansas, Non-Owa, Nebraska, these four states have joined together to form the Central United Kingdom.
8. Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts (Massachusetts), Rhode Island, Connecticut, the six states united to form the Kingdom of New England.
9. The states of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and Washington, DC, unite to form the Atlantic Kingdom.
10. North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, these four states united to form the North American Kingdom.
11. The states of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin in the Great Lakes region formed the Great Lakes Federal Kingdom.
12. Aris California was founded as an independent nation and established the Arisgar Kingdom.
13. The Hawaiian Islands will also establish an independent state and form the Kingdom of Hawaii.
It was originally planned that the three countries of Britain, France and Bulgaria would partition Hawaii. Unfortunately, Ferdinand’s attitude has not been positive, and the interest of the French is also limited. Obviously, the two countries are not planning to invest heavily in places far away from the mainland.
Seeing this, the British simply allowed Hawaii to become independent. The three kingdoms on the east coast were enough for them. They did not have that much energy to control Hawaii.
There is no doubt that these new kingdoms are vacant except for the three concurrently appointed by King George V. According to American practice, they cannot elect a king within two or three years.
Armies of various countries have been withdrawn from the Americas one after another. It is easy to split a country, but it is difficult to reunite.
The division of the United States this time was mostly based on factors such as religious beliefs, ethnic distribution, geographical environment, and other factors. The British were the chief director of this time.
Creating contradictions seems to be an innate talent of John Bull. Now that many people in the kingdom have opposed each other, I have to say that Bulls are really good in this area.
With the advent of tariffs, this situation will get worse. Coastal countries will become richer and landlocked countries will become poorer. As the gap between the rich and the poor increases, the conflicts between countries will become more difficult to reconcile in the future!
Constantine thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, do we want to intervene? The current international situation is not conducive to our economic development. Bulgaria will also need a stable world in the next ten years!"
Ferdinand smiled slightly and said, "I think the British should be more worried?
Their problem is bigger than ours, and the domestic unemployment problem needs to be solved urgently. The three kingdoms of the Americas are not so easy to digest. It seems that their colonies are also not peaceful!
With so many problems, the London government is probably already catching the blind. If the international environment is no longer peaceful, their world hegemony will be unstable! "
Foreign Secretary Metjeev suddenly said: "Yes, your Majesty, the three kingdoms of the Atlantic are fighting for rights with the London government to contain most of his British energy.
There is also the colonial independence movement. Affected by the October Revolution, the Communist Manifesto has now spread all over the world. Disturbances have occurred in many areas controlled by the British. The most troublesome issue for the London government is India! "
Constantine asked interestedly: "Is there an uprising in India?"
Metjeev immediately replied: "No, it's just that there have been a lot of strikes. Now their main leader is the National Congress Party. A guy named Gandhi has created a movement called'Non-violence and non-cooperation'! "
Constantine asked suspiciously: "Non-violence and non-cooperation? What is this? Is he calling on Indians not to do business with the British?"
Ferdinand was also taken aback. He didn't expect the "Non-violent and Uncooperative Movement" to begin so early, but it is impossible to expect India to cause trouble to Britain.
Unless there is another great uprising in India, this kind of movement cannot shake the foundation of British statistics!
Medev explained: "This is a new idea that just emerged. The Indians think that as long as they do not cooperate with the British, do not work for the British, and they do not pay taxes to the British, they will eventually lose their benefits. Leave by yourself.
They think this is the best way to avoid casualties and expel colonists, so this idea has just been proposed, and it has been supported by the Indian people! "
Constantine thought for a while and said: "The world is so big! There are so many people who can think of such a genius idea!
But if the Indians can persist for a while, it will be uncomfortable for the British! "
Ferdinand suddenly said: "It's useless. If it's a real sword, this is the weakest period of the British, and maybe they can really gain independence.
Non-violence and non-cooperation, as long as the British buy some people, the hearts of the people will be scattered, and if they cannot work together, this idea will be abandoned!
The most important thing in India is people. The big deal is that the factory fires all these strikers and recruits new people. They won't last long!
Now it depends on the ability of the Moscow government to export the revolution. If they work hard, they might be able to mobilize the Indians' spirit of resistance! "
Metzhev thought for a while and said, "Yes, Your Majesty! At present, some people have cooperated with the British. They have reached an agreement with the capitalists. They work half a day, or work every other day, and go to the strike at other times. !
Government employees are even more weird. They have to do what they should do every day before participating in the non-violent and non-cooperative movement! "
Constantine said in surprise: "This is also OK?"
Ferdinand smiled bitterly and said, "They want to eat too!
So many people participate in the non-violent non-cooperative movement, what about their lives? Is the Congress Party still capable of supporting them?
One or two months may be able to persist. Over time, ordinary people are forced to make a living and must cooperate with the British unless they can find another job! "
Ferdinand finally understood why the Indians have been fighting non-violent and non-cooperative movements for so long.
Historically, starting in March 1919 and continuing until the end of February 1922, millions of people went on strike for nearly three years. How did they persevere? Why can the British tolerate their troubles? And in three years, there has been no chaos in India?
In the early twentieth century, the working class did not have much savings and was able to go on strike for three years without starving to death. At that time, there was no working class in any country in the world with this family background.
It is even more unlikely that the British factories in India will not go bankrupt in the event of a general strike!
Constantine rubbed his forehead and said rascally: "Well, I can't understand the Indians, but this has nothing to do with us. There is a British ban. Whoever touches them must fight with someone! So now we Just do nothing and wait for Britain to come?"
Ferdinand shook his head and said, "No, we have to do one thing, first provide the Germans with one million tons of food. This is our original promise!"
Everyone laughed. Yes, Bulgaria and Germany also had an agreement. In order to recruit German scientists and technicians, the German government would naturally have to cooperate at the cost of one million tons of food per year.
In order for these people to work with peace of mind, Bulgaria has never discounted the aid of one million tons of food every year. This is the reason why Germany has been able to persist until now.
Metjeev said embarrassingly: "Your Majesty, do we need to deliver in advance? You know that there are still more than three months left this year, so should it be so urgent?"
Ferdinand thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter, we can allow the Germans to advance in advance. As long as they are full, they will have the strength to produce more industrial products and then more powerfully impact the British and French markets!
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs can negotiate with the Weimar government to see if it can increase the number of talents introduced~EbookFREE.me~ We can provide more food assistance. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs can discuss with them as appropriate! "
Like the Dawes Plan of the United States, Bulgaria has also formulated a plan for Britain and France, which is a food aid plan for Germany, and it is also a plan for introducing German talents!
That is: while introducing German technical talents, we should provide food aid to Germany, try to keep the questions of German society, and use cheap industrial and commercial products produced by Germans to impact British and French industries.
Of course, there are similar plans for Italy, but the Italians don't seem to buy it very much. They are not as active as the Germans in producing industrial products. On the contrary, they have made a lot of achievements in the field of luxury goods!
Medev thought for a while and said, "Yes! But your Majesty, this may cause the British and French to be wary. We are not sure whether they will interfere!"
Ferdinand said without hesitation: "As long as people arrive in Bulgaria, what can they do if they want to interfere?
We provide food to Germany and maintain the stability of German society. They have a lot of cheap goods to use. What's wrong?
Even if the British and French governments want to interfere, they have to pass the domestic consortium first. Are these consortia still waiting for German industrial products to make money? Don't politicians dare to cut people and money? "
The best strategy will always be arrogant! Even if you know what Bulgaria is doing, it is not good intentions, but the capitalists will still cooperate with their actions for the benefit!
Historically, the Americans' economic aid to Germany is much more exaggerated than this. It is simply re-arming Germany and challenging the world again!
And Bulgaria’s food plan is much less harmful. At most, it is only a blow to the industries of Britain and France. Is it far from breaking the world order?
