Vol 3 Chapter 11: Ethnic issues

It's time to come, although despite the preparation, Ferdinand's mood is still not easy now! This financial crisis has not come at the right time, and now Bulgaria is busy with immigration?
Now it is time to deal with the economic crisis. For the government, their work pressure is too great!
You must know that in order to ensure the smooth progress of the immigration work, Ferdinand did not even come up with the "three five plan" that was already prepared, so that the government can focus on doing the immigration work well!
You must know that after the Balkan War, the population of Bulgaria has theoretically exceeded 10 million and reached 11.43 million!
In fact, in addition to the original 4.3 million people, there are more than 1.8 million Bulgarians in the Balkans, which can be regarded as their own!
Bulgaria has always been regarded as their only motherland, with the highest loyalty, and other minorities need time to digest!
Of the remaining 5 million people, Bulgarian culture is deeply affected, and more than 1.4 million people are easy to assimilate, mainly in Macedonia and East Thrace. The former was the hard work of previous Bulgarian governments. Harvest, the latter is the result of Ferdinand's success after his succession!
These 1.2 million people have not been assimilated because they are essentially Bulgarian. They also agree with Bulgaria. They have all been replaced by Bulgarian ID cards, which is basically digested!
In addition to these people, there are also some people who came to Bulgaria in the Balkan War because of their hatred of the Ottoman Empire. They were considered as a combination of interests and joined the Bulgarian family.
The area where this group of people is distributed is broad, and it is basically present in all places, including Albanian, Armenian, Macedonian, Hei, Serbs and other ethnic minorities, with a total of more than 1.2 million people.
Of course, the Black and Serbs have been given to Nicholas I by Ferdinand. He newly formed the Kingdom of Montenegro, which is composed of these two peoples.
Many of these people also shared some of their benefits after the war. The representatives were volunteers in the Constantinople war, and they were bought by Ferdinand.
As long as Bulgaria remains strong, they will not be in trouble. Especially those who participated in the battle of Constantinople were basically deterred by the Bulgarian soldiers. They spontaneously cooperated with the government's work, and they were not troublesome!
There are more than 3 million people left, and nearly 2 million belong to die-hards. Simply put, they have different religious beliefs and are not willing to change sects. They are all targets of repatriation to the Ottoman Empire!
This is based on the premise that Ferdinand has expelled 1.8 million die-hards in the Balkan war, otherwise this number will be even greater!
Because their leadership was swept away in the Balkan War, these are now scattered all over the place. There are no leaders and no big troubles.
What is really troublesome is the other one million people. On the one hand, they are close to Bulgaria in faith, and at the same time adhere to their cultural traditions.
Ferdinand was reluctant to deport, and the government has no time to consume them, and assimilate them slowly. The more important thing is that they have all ethnic groups. Many of their relatives and friends have given up and joined Bulgaria The government also has to consider how these people feel!
Originally according to Ferdinand's established plan, the immigrants were scattered among them, using time to affect them, and assimilating them in a subtle way. This time would take at least years or even decades!
Now Bulgaria does not have enough time to do all of this. When the economic crisis comes, immigrants are needed. Who cares about them? This forced Ferdinand to fight hard!
Of course, all this Bulgarian government can not clearly understand this problem, mainly according to the standards at the time, this group of people can be regarded as a great good people!
People honestly go to work, pay taxes, go to church for worship, and there is no violation of laws and disciplines. At most, they only engage in the traditional culture of their own country. How can they not be called mobs?
But Ferdinand knew that it was that nationalism had not yet erupted. After the First World War, nationalism would burst into a big trouble, turning into a liberal fighter in minutes.
...
Ferdinand thought for a while and said: "The decline in processing and manufacturing exports to Russia has become a foregone conclusion, but this problem is not difficult to solve!
The government now informs domestic enterprises to be ready for transformation, reduce some of their production capacity in the short term, and start to switch from foreign trade to domestic sales!
As long as the dozens of large domestic companies support it, Bulgarian industry and commerce will also stabilize!
The most troublesome is the issue of ethnic resettlement. In view of the severe situation now, the ethnic integration plan we formulated earlier has loopholes!
Once the economic crisis breaks out, the government will definitely make a big move and resettlement. Now we have to find a way to clear the unstable factors in advance! "
Everyone was stunned, apparently not keeping up with Ferdinand's jumping thinking!
Prime Minister Constantine first responded, asking in surprise: "Your Majesty, are you going to start Plan B?"
In order to solve ethnic problems, Bulgaria has formulated three plans, code-named Plan A, B, and C.
Plan A: Gentle ethnic integration plan, after expelling die-hards, through the economic and cultural natural exchanges, subtle realization of ethnic integration;
Plan B: The laws, languages, customs, customs, and religious beliefs of the country are strongly unified through laws, all dissidents are expelled, and force can be used to eliminate dissidents at any time;
Plan C is based on the direct use of force to promote ethnic integration when both of the previous two schemes have failed. Since it cannot be culturally assimilated, then it will be destroyed physically!
Plan C basically came in handy in the age of nationalism. Now the upper-class characters of all Balkan ethnic groups have been almost killed. The fish that missed the net did not dare to take the lead. There is no leader who dares to rebel. Not many people!
All three methods are very feasible in the Balkans!
The most critical reason is that, of the more than 14.1 million people in Bulgaria, more than 2 million people were deported, and the remaining people accounted for the majority.
The other parts are also many ethnic groups. There are dozens of ethnic groups, large and small. The number is only tens of thousands, and the number is only 700,000 to 800,000. Apart from the Bulgarian ethnic group, there are no more than one million ethnic groups. !!
Not to be expelled!
What's more, quite a few of these farmers have no ethnic consciousness, and no one can determine which ethnicity they are, so they are all Bulgarianized!
"Yes, just use legal means, we don't have so much energy to spend, and we can eliminate the hidden dangers in the shortest time!" Ferdinand said after thinking about it
After thinking about it, Prime Minister Constantine said fiercely: "It is true. The government has a lot of work now. If the economic crisis breaks out, we will have no energy to deal with these issues. Once it is used by people who care for it, the future is very May cause us big trouble!
That being the case, our cabinet will soon enact a detailed law for submission to Congress for approval! "
Ferdinand nodded with satisfaction. Constantine jumped out and was scammed, which fit his mind.
As the greatest monarch in Bulgaria's history, how can he do these tainted things?
Once this law was promulgated, Bulgaria did not say that blood flowed into the river. It was only a small problem to cut off thousands of heads!
There will also be tens of thousands of people, in order to inherit, leave their homes and set foot on the Ottoman imperial road!
Then, the Bulgarian parliament once again used their high efficiency to let the world know what is fast!
Immediately after the cabinet meeting, the Bulgarian Parliament's interim meeting was convened the next day to consider Plan B.
There is no doubt that all Bulgarians can become members of parliament. It is in line with everyone's opinion to formulate a completely Bulgarian law. Naturally, they agree with both hands, and of course other nations are represented!
After the Provisional Congress approved Plan B, the specific details were handed over to the Cabinet, and they could be tested and amended before being reported to Congress for review.
The name is also called because it is tailored to local conditions and facilitates timely processing. In fact, members of Congress have jobs, are busy, and are not professionals. It is too difficult for them to study the legal provisions!
As time passed, and three days passed, a "Bulgarian Language and Religion Law" was released!
The content includes: 1. All Bulgarian citizens must use Bulgarian languages ​​in public places, such as: schools, governments, hospitals, stations;
Any public official of the Bulgarian Parliament, the government, or the military must be proficient in the Bulgarian language and script.
2. All Bulgarian citizens must believe in God, which one can choose at will and prohibit religious persecution. (Even if the branches of each branch are transferred in one day, it is legal.)
The content is not much, but the scope involved is very broad.
The standard use of the first language is enough to make it difficult for other languages ​​to survive in Bulgaria. Without Bulgarian, it is simply impossible to move!
Article 2 Religion is even more powerful, leaving no room for shelter. If you converted to God, then still?
Then these two laws were immediately implemented throughout Bulgaria ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Ferdinand thinks that the national upheaval has not arrived, and most of them are indifferent expressions!
Except in some areas, the rebound was very large, but they were long under military control. They were originally goods to leave. Ferdinand didn't care about their life and death.
In other areas, most of them are talking, as if protesting! Disappointment should be vented in dissatisfaction, but few are willing to sign up and leave!
Well, in fact Ferdinand is probably wrong, otherwise he would not go into such a big circle, let the cabinet blame, Congress endorsed!
Cultural traditions may be important for readers. For ordinary people, Bulgaria is a holy place, where they can eat enough!
Since I heard that the consequences of the violation of law are being repatriated to the Ottoman Empire, everyone decisively chose to be silent. Whoever loves to go, who goes! They want bread anyway!
In contrast, religion is the key, but they believe in God. Bulgarian law, in their opinion, is nothing more than an emphasis on religious freedom!
