Vol 5 Chapter 113: ,mercenary

A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? How to manage the Caucasus, this can be difficult for Ferdinand. Although he had been in contact with political affairs a long time ago, it was the first time to formulate a practical governance plan.
The more information he sees, the more difficult he feels. The economy, politics, and military must all be taken into consideration. This seems to be an unsolvable problem.
But he didn't think that Ferdinand would make such a big joke with him. Since this question was asked, there must be a solution, and he could only find the best answer on his own.
Politically speaking, national integration is the most important national policy of Bulgaria, not one of them.
Although the Caucasus region is vast and sparsely populated, there are so many ethnic groups that cannot be supported! There are more than one hundred ethnic groups, big and small, it is simply an encyclopedia of Asian and European ethnic groups.
To melt them all in, this is the first trouble.
The biggest advantage is that the Russians have done assimilation work in the local area for one hundred and eighty years.
Secondly, the war factor caused serious losses to the local young and strong labor force, and the locals would not be too resistant to joining Bulgaria.
Little Ferdinand wrote two words on the paper easily-marriage!
The Bulgarian government has already done this. Whether it relocates the local population or the people in other regions, it means to encourage them to marry.
Economically, Little Ferdinand directly chose to give up and wrote on paper-mining.
There is no alternative. Due to local natural conditions, no other industries can develop except for mining some precious mineral resources.
After a pause, Little Ferdinand added two more words-road repair.
Very much in line with Ferdinand’s style of work. Basically, every time Bulgaria occupies a region, the first thing to do is to build roads.
Little Ferdinand was naturally influenced by him, and he attached great importance to traffic problems.
Military, this region borders the Russian Empire, and there is no military threat in the short term.
But this does not mean that national defense work is not important.
At the same time, because of the relationship between Russia and Russia, the local defense work has become very complicated. Not only can it not stimulate the Russians, but it must also establish a solid defense fortifications.
Considering this special situation, Ferdinand Jr. wrote on the paper-a small number of troops should be stationed to strengthen transportation construction to ensure that the troops in the rear can be reinforced at any time.
That's it!
If a policy plan of less than fifty words is handed in, Ferdinand will definitely be sprayed worthless.
Therefore, the state governance plan is not to make, but to implement!
The rhetorical plan to govern the country is used by politicians to fool the people and mix votes.
If you do it, you will find that the bull's head is not right, which will be very deadly!
How to ensure that this set of plans can be effectively implemented, this is the most troublesome problem for Ferdinand, and it is also the real problem given by Ferdinand this time.
...
"Your Majesty, the Dutch government has asked us for help again!" Metev said calmly
"Oh, did the Dutch give up on the British this time? Or are they still waiting for the British winter offensive?" Ferdinand asked concerned.
"It's not certain yet, but the Dutch people probably won't let them wait any longer. They have suffered heavy losses after working with the British twice.
Many people believe that if they did not cooperate with the British and the Kingdom of the Netherlands alone suppressed the rebellion, the situation would be better than it is now!
Now the Dutch government has anxious red eyes. To suppress the rebellion they have spent 80 million pounds, which is their financial income for more than three years.
They proposed that if we can help them suppress this rebellion, half of Kalimantan (Borneo) can be transferred to us. It seems that they do not intend to be neighbors with the British! "Medev thought for a while and said
"Half of Kalimantan, why did the Dutch government suddenly become generous this time?
I thought they would use the Maluku Islands to make up the number, or the Southwest Islands and Southeast Islands to deal with it! "Ferdinand asked suspiciously
"Your Majesty, the economic value of the Maluku Islands is more than five times that of Kalimantan. How can the Dutch be willing? The Southwest and Southeast Islands have been taken by the British!
It was the reward for helping them put down the rebellion this time, you know the result. The Dutch government now believes that the British intend to annex their Indian colonies, so it intends to introduce us to Borneo to counterbalance the British. "Medev explained
Ferdinand just felt that a group of grass and mud horses ran in his heart. The economic value of the Maluku Islands is more than five times that of Borneo, so it is ten times that of half of Borneo.
Sure enough, in different times, the value of these resources is also different.
As a spice island, the Maluku Islands are naturally very valuable. Even with the impact of the current industrial flavors, spices still occupy a very important position in the world.
Although Borneo is the third largest island in the world, apart from relatively rich resources, it has not been developed very well. It was only in the 1990s that the local population exceeded 9 million.
The population of this era was only four or five million, and it was divided into half by the British, and the area that fell into the hands of the Dutch actually became a tasteless one.
Of course, this refers to the economic value, mainly the gold mines that have been discovered. After so many years, almost all have been mined, and the remaining minerals are difficult to mine.
In terms of strategic value, Borneo is located in the center of Southeast Asia, it is very important.
This is why Ferdinand was surprised, but he soon realized that the higher the strategic value, the hotter it is for the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
The British have already reached in, and the Japanese are eyeing this place. The fallen Kingdom of the Netherlands has no strength to defend here.
"In other words, once we get this half of Borneo, we will be neighbors with the British, and at the same time we must be wary of the ambitions of the Japanese, right?" Ferdinand asked concerned.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Metiev thought for a while and said
"Tell the Dutch that Bulgaria is not interested in Borneo. We only need a few sparsely populated islands and build a military port!" Ferdinand said cautiously
The bait is good, but it is poisonous!
Bulgaria now does not have the energy to fight for hegemony in the Southeast Asia. It is very unwise to occupy the central area of ​​the Southeast Asia at this time.
Instead of this, it is better to occupy a few sparsely populated islands and control strategic points.
Perhaps in the long run, the strategic value of Borneo occupies a very important part of Bulgaria's world strategy.
But now, it is only a pure investment project, and it is still 10 or 20 years of investment, and there is no investment in economic return.
"Yes, Your Majesty! But how should we deal with the Dutch government's request for help this time?" Metjeev asked hesitantly
"It's not convenient for us to shoot directly and recruit a mercenary to help the Dutch, but on the surface, this force can't have anything to do with us!" Ferdinand thought for a while and said.
It is not that Ferdinand is timid, but that in the era of the outbreak of nationalism, it is easy to forge feuds with the locals by intervening without authorization.
With a population of over 100 million in the Southeast Asia, independence is a matter of time, and Bulgaria does not need to recite this notoriety.
In order to avoid a future history book, Ferdinand the Great ordered the Bulgarian army to help the Kingdom of the Netherlands, suppressed the Indonesian national uprising, and brutally massacred innocent people from XX to XX.
If it is a mercenary, it has nothing to do with Bulgaria, even if it is killing a river of blood, it is also the pot of the Dutch.
In name, this army was recruited in the name of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. This war fund was also the money that the Kingdom of the Netherlands sold off the islands in the Southeast Asia.
Apart from buying some sparsely populated islands, Bulgaria has done nothing on the surface.
In this case, ordinary people don't know the role of Bulgaria at all. Even if they are insiders, there is no evidence to prove that the Bulgarian government was directly involved in this operation, and this dark history naturally does not exist.
After all, European countries have a long history of using mercenaries. There were a large number of mercenaries in the First World War. The Dutch wanted to use mercenaries and there was nothing wrong with them~EbookFREE.me~ In essence, if not afraid The bad political influence, it is estimated that the Dutch have long recruited mercenaries in the German region.
In Ferdinand's view, even if the Dutch recruited mercenaries in the German region at this time, the French would not treat them like anything, at most they would just verbally condemn them.
However, in this era, the influence of the French on the European continent is too great, even if the British have a little bit less power to speak on the European continent.
"Your Majesty, there are several members of the Bulgarian Military Observer Group. Isn't this a problem?" Chief of Staff Christoph asked concerned.
"Of course, not only members of the Bulgarian military observation group can appear, but members of the military observation group of other countries can also appear.
As long as the members of this mercenary army do not appear in Bulgarian officers and soldiers, it will be fine.
The composition of the members, we can also make them intentionally complicated, such as adding some retired officers and soldiers from Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia, Sweden and other countries.
The specific number of people, weapons and equipment, and the establishment of troops have been determined by your staff. This time it will be an actual combat training in the rainforest area! "Ferdinand thought for a while and said
To help the Dutch quell the chaos, Ferdinand is not Mr. Churchill. There is no need to consider so many political influences. There is no need to mobilize the soldiers to bloom and attack at the same time.
The Indonesian area is originally composed of a large group of islands, and it is entirely possible to take advantage of the weakness of the rebels that they do not have a navy, one island, one island.
Although the speed is a bit slower, you can concentrate your superior forces and you can ensure victory!
If the British had fought so steadily from the beginning, the rebels on any island in Southeast Asia could not be their one-to-one enemy. The rebellion would have been suppressed by them.
