Vol 4 Chapter 8: , Heavy industry plan

More than ten years have passed since the outbreak of the Balkan War in 1897, and in 1908.
After more than ten years of fertility management by Ferdinand, Bulgaria has now completed the digestion of the basic domestic market.
Now Bulgaria is also a powerful country with a population of more than 20 million, and its total industry is close to Italy, but Ferdinand still feels that it is not enough!
Despite the rapid development of Bulgaria, Ferdinand is still not satisfied. He knows that it is not far from the World War!
With Bulgaria's current strength, it is enough to protect itself in the World War, but after the war, you have to divide the cake, and it is estimated that there are only some residuals left.
As a traverser, it is already embarrassing to not be able to compete in the world. If even a regional overlord can't get mixed up, which is too much? In short, Ferdinand is also ambitious!
Jeff Ferdinand knew that it was time to release the long-held "Three Five Plan"! This also means that the Bulgarian government, which has just paid off its debts, will be in debt again!
Uh ...
In a hurry, with the order of Ferdinand, the cabinet government came up with a "three-five plan" in the shortest time.
The original plan was of course null and void! After all, more than ten years have passed, and the strategic goals in it have been completed long ago!
In addition to putting it in the museum for future visitors to visit, it is probably only useful when historians study the background of the era!
计划 Compared to the previous two plans, this plan is not an equal weight at all, and it is more suitable for ambitious!
After all, many of the contents are very radical. Under normal circumstances, such a wave of development will wait for overcapacity, and then an economic crisis will erupt!
However, Ferdinand is indifferent. Anyway, it is time to start the World War. There is no big problem with overcapacity. After a world war, all kinds of production capacity can be digested!
"Prime Minister, let's introduce the content of the" three-five plan "first. Let's talk about the industrial plan today!" Ferdinand said lightly
是 "Yes!" Constantine said forcefully
斐 Since Ferdinand took power in 1889, Bulgaria's cabinet has been very stable, starting with Chekov, a tumbler in politics, and Constantine, who has been prime minister for more than a decade.
However, Ferdinand knows that after this session, let them finish two more sessions, and it will probably be replaced! (1907 is already their fourth term!)
This is not Ferdinand going across the river to tear down the bridge, but the real imperialism. After all, a cabinet with too high prestige is also a threat to monarchy!
Bulgaria can come to this point, and the Constantine Cabinet has also made great contributions. Now it is undoubtedly to let them go home to cross the river and dismantle the bridge.
After waiting for the victory of the World War, let them return with honor, Ferdinand thinks that this is already the best ending!
Alas, Ferdinand will not admit that he wants to squeeze out the last value of the people. After the World War, the role of these people will be much smaller.
However, in Europe, democratic elections have been carried out for 30 years. It is really rare!
This is not a fabrication. Now the Bulgarian Cabinet ’s approval rate is really high, it has not yet appeared, and it is qualified to be their competitor!
Bulgaria has always been called the Prussian Balkan, and Constantine is considered to be the second "Bismarck", which has the title of Prime Minister!
During his term in office, Bismarck launched a war to unify Germany; Constantine also launched a war to unify Bulgaria!
Don't be surprised, the publicity is so powerful! Looking at Bulgaria's history, there are too many materials to prove that this is really a national reunification war to expel the Ottoman invaders!
This has been recognized by the international community. Bulgaria gained the support of all ethnic groups in the Balkan War. This is the best evidence!
The other two attach importance to industrial development and have established workers 'security systems, including: workers' pensions, health and medical insurance, and social insurance systems. Oh, this is in the "Three Five Plan"!
In short, many people compare them and find that the two have a lot in common, and they have created the rise of the two countries!
Well, Bulgaria and Prussia are really similar. The key is to be able to fight, but Bulgaria's weight is too small, otherwise European countries will worry about Bulgaria's danger association!
If Ferdinand's prestige is too high, the right of Constantine as the "Prince Minister" is not as great as that of Bismarck, otherwise it will really be worthy of the name!
Alas, there is another reason that cannot be said. After the outbreak of the World War, Ferdinand needed a cabinet that could live in the town!
After all, no matter how high the prestige of the Bulgarian cabinet is, it is not as high as the king of Ferdinand. He can manipulate the parliament at any time and kick them down!
But the military is a headache. After the outbreak of the war, the military's power will inevitably increase. As the king Ferdinand can't always charge himself and go to suppress the military?
This is too shameful, so it is necessary to have a cabinet with enough prestige!
Germany is a negative teaching material. After the collapse of Russia in history, Germany 2 had the opportunity to negotiate and then end the war decently. Unfortunately, his government could no longer suppress the army, and the country was dragged and dropped by Juncker aristocrats. abyss!
I ca n’t help it, who is the most prestigious German Prime Minister in Germany-Bismarck has long since died? And William II has three generations of emperors, and his prestige is really not good in the army!
After consolidating his thoughts, Constantine said, "This time the" Five-Year Plan "is different from the previous two five-year plans. The investment amount and coverage are much larger than before!
It includes: politics, industry, culture, military, medical, education, agriculture, social security and many other fields!
In the industry, we still focus on the development of heavy industries, which mainly include:
1. Establish two large-scale steel plants, and strive to achieve an annual output of 3.5 million tons of steel before 1914, of which the output of steel must not be less than half, and the output of special steel must not be less than 200,000 tons!
2, coal production strives to reach 30 million tons;
3. Newly build two 30,000-ton docks and one 40,000-ton dock; strive to achieve a total tonnage of 500,000 tons for large ships!
4. In the field of machinery manufacturing, because we are developing very well in this area, we are now on par with Austria-Hungary!
Therefore, the government does not intend to invest directly, mainly through tax reduction and encouragement of private capital to continue investing, and strive to catch up with the French within five years!
Uh ... "
Light industry need not mention, like textile industry, food processing enterprises, etc., they have been the protagonists in the two previous five-year plans, and now they can no longer be seen by Ferdinand. After all, the growth of military strength or heavy industry comes quickly!
Jeff Ferdinand carefully considered it and found that for Bulgaria, the second one that has the most difficulty is the second one. The pure mining task of coal production is basically incomplete as long as the investment is increased!
After all, Bulgaria's domestic coal reserves are also measured in tens of billions of tonnage units, and open-pit coal mines are not a minority!
船舶 The most shameful ship is probably the ship. In history, the total tonnage of British ships has exceeded 20 million tons. Bulgaria ’s target is only 500,000 tons. It is a bit shameful!
What I haven't said is that this total tonnage is the sum of warships plus merchant ships, otherwise this number will be even more embarrassing!
Alas, this is also Ferdinand's only request not to increase blindly, mainly because he remembered the German Navy's submarines, who basically made more ships, and whoever was sunk by then!
保加利亚 Bulgaria is so close to Austria-Hungary and Italy. If a bunch of merchant ships are built, it will definitely be a contribution to other submarine soldiers!
It's better to install ostriches and let the British boss take care of the transportation. Bulgaria's protection of the Black Sea transportation line is the biggest contribution to the alliance!
Article 4: Machinery manufacturing industry surpassed France in five years. Ferdinand said he did not see it, and the Gallo chickens did not take manufacturing industry at all!
保加利亚 Bulgaria is also a manufacturing country with
copycat technology
as its core. As long as you give money, you do n’t have to exceed France. Even more than Germans can easily do it, provided that you sacrifice a little performance!
Rather, it is the strategic goal of producing 3.5 million tons of steel a year. It is the work that really needs to be done. After all, steel mills in this era are all pits!
In addition, in this five-year plan, there is also a development plan for airships, but the automobile industry and the aircraft industry have been ignored!
Thinking of this, Ferdinand asked in wonder: "Why is there no plan for the automotive industry and aircraft manufacturing industry? According to the current development trend, aircraft will be the king of the sky in the future, and cars will replace horse carriages and become the most important in transportation. An important part! "
Constantin a moment, "airplanes and cars" is the mainstream of the future? His first reaction was how could this be possible?
Seeing Constantine's response, Ferdinand understands that there must be some people who have realized the importance of airplanes and cars in this era, but said that they will become the mainstream for transportation, and no one will believe it!
After all, cars replace carriages, that is, after the cost of cars has been reduced, at the current price, who can afford it?
Let alone planes, let alone the technology of current aircraft manufacturing, when the reconnaissance plane is enough, transportation? If you do not consider the cost, it will be reluctant to send a letter!
Due to Ferdinand's butterfly effect, Bulgaria's planes started very early. The birth of the plane caught his attention and started Bulgaria's space industry!
Until now, Bulgaria ’s aerospace industry has become the world ’s number one. It seems that only Bulgaria has an aerospace industry in the world!
At present, Bulgaria's self-made aircraft is also the most advanced in the world. Its maximum range has reached 200 kilometers. It can barely be used as a reconnaissance aircraft. Are there other performances? Ignore it, the plane was born four or five years ago!
Ferdinand realized that he had made a mistake ~ EbookFREE.me ~ After all, not everyone has a prophecy. This Constantine reaction is normal in this era!
Jeff Ferdinand concealed his embarrassment, and then said, "Oh, the issue of airplanes is not mentioned first, but this time the automobile industry will also join the support of the" Three Five Plan "!
Maybe you don't know yet. The production cost of the new-generation car designed by Bulgarian University has been reduced. The estimated time to market is just recently!
The price is about 6000 ~ 8000 leva, this price is already acceptable to the middle class; and this car also has a freight version, the price will not exceed 12,000 leva, already has promotion value, and will soon be popular Europe! "
"Oh!" Everyone was surprised
Apparently stunned by this news, although Bulgaria's automobile industry is also the world's leader, but the price has dropped so much at once, still some of their data!
"No problem!" Constantine said briskly
After all, if the price drops to one-sixth, or even one-eighth, the market for this will have increased significantly!
After all, compared with the carriage, the car still has a very high advantage, which is still very meaningful for promoting the transportation revolution!
