Vol 2 Chapter 30: , Preparation, debate

Without it, it's all the trouble of gold! At the end of the 19th century, in this age of gold standard, no one hopes that the British will gain gold from South Africa and master the lifeblood of world finance!
的 The British, who have been angered in history, cleverly used diplomatic methods, provoked contradictions between countries, and prevented the great powers from uniting.
Even so, with the small actions of various countries, the British finally struggled for three years before winning.
However, in the context of manipulation of public opinion in various countries to block the British, Europeans have set off a wave of resistance to the British.
At the same time as the British won the victory, they still paid the price. Industrial products were forced to lose part of the European market and replaced by German artificial and commercial products, creating opportunities for the German economy to surpass the UK!
The situation is worse than in history. In Ferdinand's view, even if John Niu ’s diplomacy is even better, it will not be done in a short time. Of course, the British still don't think how powerful the Boers are!
Alas, now the British are still preparing to intervene in the Near East crisis after fighting the Boers!
If Bulgaria takes a shot to weaken the Ottoman Empire, they are probably happy. After all, the importance of Egypt is self-evident, and the British must not let go of the land transport line to India!
By contrast, the importance of the Balkans will be back. In addition to restricting the expansion of the Russian Empire, it is really worthless to the British Empire in terms of benefits!
Jeff Ferdinand took a deep breath, calmed himself, and said, "Since everyone has no opinions, sign a contract with France and Russia as soon as possible!
Don't think about those useless, all we have to do now is prepare for war, prepare for war, prepare for war! Fight for the smallest price to win this war and get the biggest piece of cake!
As for the navy, I'll leave it to the Russians. Anyway, this is also a precedent. Wasn't the previous army also set by the Russians?
Are the Army still in our own hands now? Don't have any psychological pressure. Instead, invest your energy in the country's construction! "
The new Minister of Defense, Petrov 忐忑, asked, "Dagong, are we going to prepare for the people now?"
Jeff Ferdinand thought about it, nodded and said, "Well, what plans do you have for the Department of Defense?"
Petrov calmly said: "Our Ministry of National Defense has formulated a national reserve training program, and all young people (aged 17 to 55) in Bulgaria must participate in military training.
Taking into account the actual situation, we have focused on the reserve training in the rural areas, and used military leisure to conduct military training.
The training time ranges from three to six months each year, but such high-intensity training also requires the government to allocate some funds to subsidize young people participating in training.
Of course, urban residents are no exception, but considering the actual situation, most of them work in factories, and we have reduced the training time to one month a year!
In theory, once a war breaks out, 300,000 troops can be mobilized within three days, 600,000 troops can be mobilized within one week, and the maximum mobilization can reach one million! "
Jeff Ferdinand's face changed slightly, and then returned to normal, thinking: This may be the Bulgarian mobilization system in history! But now I am using it, I am afraid that it is a bit mad, after all, the people have not experienced the humiliation of the Second Balkan War, so desperately who knows whether the people can afford it?
"Mr. Petrov, have you made this plan for the Ministry of National Defense, have you considered the actual situation? This is already a soldier, can the Bulgarian people afford it?"
Petrov said with confidence: "Dear Grand Duke, please rest assured! Bulgaria has a tradition of serving the entire population since ancient times. In fact, the Balkan countries have a tradition of serving the entire population. Serbia can do it before. There is no reason we can't do it!
As long as the military budget is sufficient, our Ministry of Defense can guarantee the completion of this task! "
Looking at the self-confident Minister of Defense, Ferdinand knows that it is difficult to say in other countries, but Bulgaria can really be completed, but the capitalists are uncomfortable, or Ferdinand himself will suffer heavy losses!
I said again, if only Bulgaria and Ottoman were heads-up, Ferdinand might really be desperate, but they haven't been there yet.
Xun kicked the ball to the cabinet and asked, "What does the cabinet think?"
The result was beyond Ferdinand's expectations. The cabinet that was supposed to oppose actually supported the Ministry of Defense's plan collectively!
Constantine: "Dagong, I think there is no problem with the plan formulated by the Ministry of Defense, which can maximize the potential of Bulgaria's war!"
Then Minister of Foreign Affairs Metev, Minister of Industry Wei Zheng-Ivanov, and Minister of Education Chekov expressed their support!
In the end, Jeff Ferdinand understands why Bulgaria broke out during the First World War, "looking at a leaf and knowing autumn". What can't be done under the background of ineffectiveness ~ EbookFREE.me?
He shook his head and said, "It is true in theory, but you ignore the problem of logistical supplies after the outbreak of war! We must also have sufficient manpower to invest in logistics!
From the military point of view, after the outbreak of war, the main battlefield is Macedonia, and Istanbul, and other areas are secondary battlefields. We do not need to use so many troops at all!
多少 How many troops are there in the Ottoman Empire? How much is the army in Europe? It's less than 200,000 in Europe! Even their army is only five or six hundred thousand people!
With their rotten system, low efficiency, and want to mobilize nationwide, it is estimated that the war has ended!
最多 The enemies we face are up to 300,000 to 400,000. We also need to consider the situation of their empty bells. Detailed information in this regard will be delivered to you later!
Don't be scared by the name of the Ottoman Empire, this huge empire is already ill. The most they can mobilize is in Europe, and the reserve training is also deserted!
Material reserves are even more a joke! Really want to fight, I guess they are not as good as the Serbs! At least the country is in trouble, and the officials of the Serbian government have qualified.
么 Ottoman Empire? If half of the funds have been spent, they are already open. Usually, they are deducted in layers, and a seven or eight layer is a normal level!
In addition, don't ignore it, we still have 200,000 troops available! The militarized road workers can be sent to the battlefield with a little training if necessary!
So this preparation is mainly in terms of materials and personnel training, not just pursuing quantity! "
