Vol 5 Chapter 102: ,influences

The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? The eldest son’s marriage was booked, but Ferdinand had a worry, but it’s a pity that as long as I remember that there are five kids waiting. Now, he couldn't be happy.
Even if they are not the crown prince, the range of marriage options should be so large that they are lost, and at least they have to marry an old nobleman. This standard cannot be lower.
This is the price of being born in the royal family. Since childhood, marriage has to make sacrifices.
Of course, this is only for these people who have lived in the ivory tower since they were young. There are many people who are willing to make such sacrifices outside.
"Your Majesty, this is our Admiralty. Please have a look!" Admiral Pert Ivanov, the new Secretary of the Navy, said
Ferdinand took the form and looked at it carefully.
From the first dreadnought in Bulgaria in 1907, it has been 20 years now. The service life is coming soon. At this time, new warships must be built to fill this vacancy.
After reading the document, Ferdinand smiled and said: "Your Admiralty, this time is preparing for a big blood exchange!"
According to the plan of the Ministry of the Navy, the Bulgarian Navy will gradually retire eight dreadnoughts, two battlecruisers, and twelve cruisers in the next five years...
Almost all the main ships of the Bulgarian navy were replaced. There is no other way. From 1915 to the present, in eleven years, apart from adding two aircraft carriers and replacing some small warships, the Bulgarian Navy never built it again. The new battleship.
"Your Majesty, there is no way that our warship is already far behind the times, and it won't work if we don't want to change it!" Admiral Pert, the Secretary of the Navy, thought for a while and said.
"Well, in principle, I agree with your shipbuilding plan, but the question is what about the London Treaty?
According to the provisions of the treaty, the tonnage of our naval capital ships shall not exceed 330,000 metric tons, and the total tonnage of aircraft carriers shall not exceed 120,000 metric tons. Your plan has exceeded the standard! "Ferdinand said with a smile
The Treaty of London has now become a shackle for countries to expand their navies.
But it is not easy to break the constraints of the London Treaty, at least Ferdinand will not come out to be the first person to tear the treaty.
There is a price to be paid for breaking the rules at any time. Now the Bulgarian Navy does need to expand, but this need is not so urgent.
In Ferdinand’s opinion, there is no difference between expanding the navy one day earlier and expanding the navy one day later!
If Ferdinand is willing, he can double the size of the Bulgarian navy in two years, but this does not make any sense.
At this time, the world is generally peaceful, even if the conflict between Britain and Japan has intensified, it has not yet reached the point where war will break out.
It can be said that as long as the Japanese army does not take the initiative to attack the British, this war cannot be fought.
In the general anti-war environment, the London government continues to carry out the counterinsurgency war, and the British people can still accept it. If the war is proactively initiated, it is estimated that the British people will fall. No politician will take this risk!
Not only did Ferdinand see this issue clearly, but the Japanese government also understood it, so they dared to resist it and added to the British people by the way.
Since the war cannot be fought, the urgency of Bulgaria's naval expansion is greatly reduced. Even Ferdinand believed that even if a new round of world war broke out, most of the Bulgarian navy would still be killed.
"Your Majesty, the London Treaty is about to become a piece of waste paper. Now all countries in the world are all about to move, they are trying to expand the navy tonnage!" Pert explained
"It's about to become a piece of waste paper, isn't it still waste paper?
In short, Bulgaria is a large and responsible country, and such things that violate the treaty and damage our country’s credibility should not be done!
The plan was taken back and redone. Now the size of our navy must be within the scope of the treaty. Unless you can invite God, the old man, don't try to convince me! "Ferdinand said very clearly
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Pelt replied
He knew that without sufficient reasons, Ferdinand could not agree to expand the navy. Now the military expenditures of the Bulgarian armed forces are land, air and sea, and he knows the status of the navy.
Needless to say, the army is the foundation of Bulgaria. As a land power country, Bulgaria cannot reduce its investment in the army in any way.
The Air Force also ambitiously formulated a global strategic strike plan, and it was approved, as long as the Navy's global strategy was killed by the great Ferdinand.
It is simply raised by a stepmother, my uncle doesn't hurt, grandma doesn't love it!
Many people don't know that the Air Force's global strategic strike plan was created by Ferdinand himself. Namely: Establish military bases at important nodes in the world, and use long-range bombers to cover any important city in the world.
Ferdinand originally planned to cover any corner of the world, but considering the technology of this era, he decisively gave up.
It would be good to be able to cover major cities. So far, Bulgaria's focus is on the European continent. If production costs are not considered, the new generation of strategic bombers can already do it.
The world strategy has just begun, and even the military bases established by the Bulgarian Navy overseas are just one part of it.
This strategic plan, so far, only less than ten people know. Even if this strategy is already being implemented, it is obscured by smoke bombs on the surface.
Every Bulgarian overseas military base must have an airport built on it, but it is not an air force stationed there, but an overseas colony defender.
Everyone is not surprised. As the only country in the world that distributes aircraft to companies, there is an airport on its military base. What is the problem?
It's just that the airport has been repaired a bit bigger. This is all understandable. The pilot's skills are not good enough, so it is natural to build a big airport.
In order not to attract the attention of the British, so far this strategic plan has been carried out very conservatively. The overseas military bases owned by the Bulgarian Navy are still very scarce.
Apart from occupying a part of the small islands in the Borderlands, the Bulgarian navy did not make any major moves. And this occupation is limited to making a landmark on it.
After all, the islands suitable for human survival basically already have owners, and the real land without owners means that people really cannot live!
It is nothing more than to seize sovereignty in advance. Once resources are discovered in these areas in the future, Bulgaria will have the first-hand advantage.
...
"Your Majesty, the Dutch government has asked us for help!" said Foreign Minister Metjeev
"So fast?" Ferdinand asked in surprise.
Didn't he never thought that the Dutch would seek help from Bulgaria, but this speed is too fast?
It has only been a few days since the marriage of the two royal families has begun to move closer politically. Haven't they considered the feeling of the British Empire?
"Your Majesty, with regard to the Indonesian issue, Mr. Churchill was terrified of the Dutch. Now the Dutch government dare not ask the British for help, and at the same time they cannot give up Indonesia.
Except for the British, in Southeast Asia, as long as we and the French have the strength to help them put down the rebellion.
The French themselves have not settled their own Luzon rebellion, and now Vietnam is not stable. They are a little overwhelmed. The Dutch government has no choice but to ask us for help! "Medev explained
Ferdinand nodded. He figured it out. It turned out that the Dutch were scared by the boss. At this time, let the frontline army and the British fight together. I am afraid that only God will know if something will happen!
"What about the conditions given by the Dutch government?" Ferdinand asked concerned.
"The Dutch government can transfer some of the islands to us for a fee. The specific place has not yet been determined.
According to the analysis of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Dutch were frightened by the actions of the British this time. They were afraid that the British would annex Indonesia in one bite, so they brought us in.
At the same time, the Dutch were also worried that we would annex Indonesia, so they did not take any action until the news of the marriage of the two royal families spread, and they made up their minds! "Medev analyzes
If Bulgaria had no ambitions for Indonesia before, no one would believe it, not even Ferdinand himself.
But now, Bulgaria really has no ambitions for Indonesia. Even if Indonesia’s interests are great, the Bulgarian government cannot make small moves at the time of the marriage between the two countries.
Just like the Bulgarian-Russian marriage, Bulgaria obtained the qualification to expand in the Balkans. This time, the Bulgarian government had to give up its ambitions in Indonesia.
"Well, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can continue to communicate with the Dutch on this issue. Our strategic focus is not in Southeast Asia. The Dutch colony was originally out of the scope of our plan.
There are many island rings in Indonesia. We don't want areas with dense population, high economic value, and special strategic value.
If the Dutch need us to send troops to help, they can choose to pay a commission or take out a few sparsely populated islands as a reward for this military operation! "Ferdinand thought for a while and said
Ferdinand wanted to face it. At this time, it was impossible for him to take advantage of the fire. Just like when the Russian Civil War broke out, he contributed money and effort to help Nicholas II through the first difficulties.
This time, even if the Dutch randomly took a few islands to make up the number, or paid an ultra-low commission, Ferdinand recognized it as a gift to the future daughter-in-law. In short, face should not be lost!
As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and the Dutch's price also determines the hard work of the Bulgarian army.
If the bid is too low, then drive the rebels into the jungle and help the Dutch reclaim the city even if the task is completed, and the Dutch will take care of the rest.
Conversely, if the Dutch are willing to pay, the Bulgarian army will also provide high-end services, which can help them carry out a comprehensive purge in the colony.
"We don't have to be too active. It's best to let the Dutch and the British work together again. The more they suffer, the better we can give charcoal in the snow!" After thinking about it, Ferdinand added
"Your Majesty, with the strength of the British in Southeast Asia, if we join forces with the Dutch again, I am afraid it will be easy to suppress the rebellion, then we are not..." Metev asked in surprise.
"Don't worry, the Japanese won't let them put down the rebellion so easily. The number of local indigenous people in Southeast Asia is over 100 million. As long as these people are organized, the rebellion will not be suppressed so easily!
Besides, haven't you found that the personal abilities of the British commanders are particularly strong?
From the beginning of the rebellion in the Philippine Islands, Mr. Churchill personally went to command, and then the rebellion spread to the Malay Peninsula, and now the Burmese rebelled.
If nothing happens, the Southeast Peninsula will soon follow the chaos, even if the war finally burns to India, I will not be surprised! "Ferdinand mocked.
"Your Majesty, it is unlikely that this will happen. The British are very powerful. Even if the Japanese do little tricks, they dare not touch India!
Although Mr. Churchill's military capabilities are not as good as our generals, he is also a famous general in the British Empire. If it were not for the intervention of the Japanese, these rebellions would have been put down! "Prime Minister Constantine said hesitantly
That's right, in this time and space, Mr. Churchill is a famous British general. Although there is no extraordinary record, people can play it!
So everyone is still very confident in him, at least reading his resume is really awesome, he is in the great victory of the British army in World War I!
Ferdinand did not explain. They were all civil servants who could not understand how many military mistakes the British made in Southeast Asia.
If they see the case analysis of the General Staff, they will find that in Southeast Asia, the British army is playing tricks.
Using 800,000 troops to counter the rebellion ~EbookFREE.me~, it hasn't pushed it all the way, but steadily fight it. Professionals will know at a glance that the British have suffered a loss on the battlefield in Southeast Asia!
According to the analysis of the Bulgarian General Staff, it is easy to defeat these rebels on the frontal battlefield. The real trouble is that after winning, the enemy fled into the jungle and wanted to be wiped out.
Besides, in this era, can the Japanese army be measured by ordinary standards?
Perhaps the Japanese government knows the proper measures, and the high-level Japanese officers also know the proper measures, but can you count on the lower-level Japanese officers and soldiers to have an overall view?
When the Japanese government acquiesced to the military's actions, they were no longer under control, especially after entering Southeast Asia, they completely released themselves.
Without the constraints of their superiors, they are acting according to their own ideas, and their goals are also different.
Some people just want to destroy the British and retaliate for their suppression of Japan; some are ready to overthrow the British and make colonial rule in Southeast Asia a part of Japan...
In short, once ambition breeds, it will be out of control. When the war will spread to India depends on their mood.
"Then let's wait and see!" Ferdinand said with a smile
Everyone closed their mouths obediently. History has proven Ferdinand’s precise judgment many times. Even if they have big doubts in their hearts, they have proved that the king’s judgment is correct every time. They really can’t afford it. The courage to argue!
This is a good thing, which can ensure that Ferdinand’s orders are meticulously implemented; it is also a bad thing. The king’s authority is too great, even if Ferdinand’s decision is wrong, they will still implement it. , Is not conducive to the long-term development of the country!
