Vol 5 Chapter 2: 5 years to catch up with France-win by lying

The celebration party has become the normal state in Europe recently. Whether it is a large country like Britain and France, or a small country like Portugal or Belgium, they are carrying out activities one after another to divert people's attention.
After all, many people have died in this world war. In addition to Italy and Germany, even the Austro-Hungarian Empire is engaged in activities and active folk atmosphere.
Fortunately, this is the European Big Six, and there is no such phenomenon as "the city is full of alum, and every family is still crying."
Bulgaria is no exception. Ferdinand has been busy conferring the title recently. In order to show importance, he personally presided over the ceremony of the nobles of all the nobles. This was of course organized collectively. The order of the Viscount-Baron-Knight went all the way down.
If you come one by one, it is estimated that Ferdinand will be able to finish it in his lifetime! The last lord was directly omitted, and the European nobility was worthless!
The aristocracy was closed, and naturally the title was granted. This time, Ferdinand was generous, and once sealed out five marshals, more than twenty generals, more than 120 generals, and more than 500 major generals. .
Then with a big wave, all of these people over the age of fifty entered the Military Commission and started their semi-retired career, while young officers continued to stay in the army.
In addition to the prestige of these five marshals, Ferdinand is not good enough to let them directly retire, and once again let them assume their original positions, namely:
Minister of the Navy: Petrov
Minister of the 6th Army: Popov
Secretary of Defense: Dante Christoph
Minister of War: Andre Blaskov
Chief of Staff: Imia Dimitev
Anyway, they all offered a high confession. They said goodbye to the soldiers. If nothing unexpected happened, they would not have the opportunity to fight soldiers in their lifetime. Even if they were full, they could announce their retirement.
In this regard, Ferdinand was very patient. These Bulgarian generals looked meritorious on the surface and had high prestige in the army, but their actual influence on the army was already very low.
I have been out of the front line for many years, and I have no chance to cultivate a line! Now that they are all well-known, it is time to leave the opportunity to young people.
It is worth mentioning that so far, several marshals have submitted applications for retirement to Ferdinand, but he was rejected by good-looking men.
After all, it is the professional placement of the army right now. If these old guys are not allowed to come out of the mine, can the young officers behind be able to scream? Anyway, Ferdinand wasn't going to take any chances, and if a joke came up behind him, he would be ashamed.
Letting these veterans go out of their way, with their prestige, should be enough to suppress all dissonant voices, at least to suppress the radicals in the army first.
After all, in Bulgaria's current military system, it is easy to create radical ideas in the army, or any army in this era is likely to produce radicals.
It is not terrible for the army to produce radicals. The emergence of radicals is still a manifestation of the vitality of the army. Without the radical army, there is no hope! After all, can the war-hard army still count on their combat effectiveness?
The terrible thing is that the army cannot suppress the radicals. The most representative is the Japanese 6th Army. This wonderful army directly treats coups as daily activities. Many grass-roots officers regard the government as a national thief!
Of course, most of this is caused by the game of interest groups. Otherwise, if the high-level military can work together, how can it not suppress the bottom-level officers?
In this regard, Ferdinand need not worry. For such energetic grass-roots officers, it is best to find something for them to do. In his opinion, an army has a messy idea, which is very big. The reason is too busy!
As long as you're busy, who can still think wildly? Is there anything left for Bulgaria to do? So many insurgents in the colony need to be eliminated? If you want to let it go, let it go to them!
These nomadic peoples are not so easy to deal with. If even some colonial problems cannot be solved immediately, they will dare to force Ferdinand to retire!
Anyway, there may be a shortage of people in Bulgaria now, but there will be no shortage of people who want to be soldiers. Their fame will be taken immediately, but now Bulgaria's best way out!
Professional resettlement and division of military power can not be completed in a short time, at least this year it is impossible to complete this task.
Regarding the division of several million military fields, and the flow of tens of millions, it seems to Ferdinand that the resettlement task can be completed in 1918, the government is already considered to be highly efficient!
...
After returning from the Paris Peace Conference, Constantine sorted out the information and made a comprehensive report to Ferdinand. This also includes first-hand information on the contradictions existing between countries, the mainstream contradictions in the world today, and Bulgaria's relations with countries.
Constantine Zou said with a brow, "Your Majesty, the sales of our debts are very unsatisfactory. The quotation of the consortium is far from our previous expectations. I am afraid that we will not be able to close the deal in the short term!"
Ferdinand smiled and said, "Don't worry, I think there will be a turn soon! The contradiction between the British and the Americans will not intensify for a while, but the war between the British consortium and the American consortium is afraid Not far away!
The mainstream currency in the world today is still the pound, but now the world's economic leader is the Americans. If the US consortiums do not want to be subject to the pound and are sheared, then they will start a currency war with the dollar instead of the pound!
The just-concluded World War just gave Americans enough confidence, but they have just made a big fortune, how could it be so willing to let John Niu Niu take it for nothing? "
Chancellor of the Exchequer Kennedy added: "Your Majesty is right. From the information we have gathered, Americans are preparing to implement the strategy of internationalization of the US dollar. Once this plan is started, they will use the US dollar and British pound to grab the market!
And the claims we are selling now can just promote the circulation of the US dollar. As long as the Americans eat our claims, Bulgaria will have to hold a lot of US dollars. At that time, we do n’t want to settle without US dollars!
According to the analysis of our experts, they think that Americans may sell a batch of debt to Germans in the near future for Germans to pay their debts.
After all, in the just-concluded world war, many countries owed Americans debts. For example, let ’s say that even if we get the compensation paid by Germany, we have to pay back Americans ’debts. The profit made in the war was performed once.
At the same time, blood transfusions were also completed for Germans. After all, for Germans, American capital is a pure capital inflow. This money can be used directly to pay off debts, and can also be used to expand industrial production. The produced industrial products are used to Repay the debt! "
Well, some dizzy, Ferdinand is only a little bit familiar with economic jargon. At present it seems a very ordinary loan, but at the time it was a game of the war between the US dollar and the British pound!
In simple terms, Americans help German banks to issue bonds, not very many of them are bought by Americans, but Wall Street sells on the global market, using global capital to buy German bonds, allowing Germans Raised funds.
In fact, a large part of this fund was flowed out from the victorious countries such as Britain and France. Americans used high interest rates to induce the capital of countries such as Britain and France to buy German debt.
For the Germans, this is capital inflow, they use the money to pay international debt, and the Americans complete the debt. The outflow of capital from Britain and France has exacerbated the Great Depression of the domestic economy. This is the very famous Dowes Plan for future generations!
Americans have had this plan for a long time. This is only a component of the dollar currency war. It also includes a series of combined punches such as the silver war, the depreciation of the dollar, and the change of the gold standard. In history, the British were disoriented. , And eventually lost the financial hegemony of the pound.
You know, you know, but Ferdinand can't do anything. It is no problem to take a share of it based on the current economic volume of Bulgaria. If you jump out and play for hegemony for the dollar and pound, it will be strange!
The choice before him is to help the Americans or the British? After all, Bulgaria is now also an important part of the world economy. Whether it is preferentially settled in pounds or US dollars, it is related to the trend of this currency war!
Having figured it all out, Constantine sighed slightly. He had just experienced the glory of the "Big Three" and was about to be turned into a spectator in a war. This taste was not so good.
After a moment of silence, Constantine recovered and said confidently: "Sir, the American and British currency wars, we have no need to participate at all. Virtual wealth is virtual after all, real. Industry is the strong source of a country!
What we have to do now is to further promote industrialization. After we have completed the opening of the Asia Minor Peninsula, Bulgaria is the 6th largest industrial power in Europe. It is time for us to play! "
Ferdinand nodded with satisfaction. Yes, currency hegemony means wealth, but also the soft power of a country, but industry is the hard power of a country.
If Bulgaria now has the industrial strength of the Americans, Ferdinand will definitely jump out and become the British pk world supremacy.
However, the reality is that Bulgaria ’s industrial strength is only about one-fifth to sixty-sixth of the Americans, and Ferdinand can only choose to continue to practice internal strength.
Ferdinand replied: "Well! The cabinet will come up with a new five-year plan as soon as possible. This time it is a ten-year plan. The core of our exhibition is still the Balkan Peninsula, then the Asia Minor Peninsula, and Syria, Pakistan, and Iraq again. , The Persian Gulf region!
I ask you to complete the full coverage of the rail and road networks of the Balkans within five years, and realize that the total industrial output of the French people is greater!
Within ten years, the railway and highway network of the Asia Minor Peninsula will be fully covered, and the main roads connecting Syria, Pakistan, Iraq, and the Persian Gulf area will be completed!
We also need to promote the electrification revolution and build a number of hydropower stations that can be used for a long time to reduce our energy consumption. Before 193o, I hope that our water conservancy power can reach 35% of the total power!
At the same time, we must further accelerate the exhibition of our heavy industry and strive to triple it within ten years. The government must continue to encourage the exhibition of physical manufacturing. We must exceed the British in the total industrial output within ten years!
From now on, Bulgaria ’s new round of exhibition slogans is
Five years to France and ten years to England
! "
After thinking about it, Constantine reminded him in a statement: "Your Majesty, five years to catch up with France is no longer necessary. Due to the World War, our total industrial output has actually passed the French!"
Ferdinand nodded a bit awkwardly, he suddenly forgot that due to the World War, the French provinces in the northeast of 1o were soon occupied by the Germans. The occupied area was originally an important mining, metallurgy and textile center. The proportion of the national industrial output was 63% steel, 81% iron, 74% coal, 81% wool, 81% sugar; the fall of 2 and a half years was isolated from French economic life, and the local industry was directly scrapped.
After the end of the World War, the total industrial output of the French is actually less than six tiers in 1914, but the total industrial output of Bulgaria is now 15% higher than in 1914. In fact, the total industrial output of Bulgaria has now surpassed France at this stage.
Of course, in theory, the total industrial output of the French can be recovered within two years, but in fact everyone knows the discipline of the capitalists. In order to maximize the benefits, there is an influx of cheap industrial products from the Germans. God knows what they are Time to recover production!
The history seems to be 1929, the French economy was only 1913, and the French are still celebrating.
If this efficiency is left in Bulgaria, Ferdinand would have pulled all the cabinets out and all the sudden, so do n’t shout the slogan of
Five Years to France
, it is already a win!
Not only the French, but in fact John Bull is not good. After the end of the World War, their industrial exhibitions are also tortoises, just waiting for the latecomers to overtake them!
All Bulgaria wants to become the first industrial power in Europe. There is only one real competitor, that is, the Germans who are still lying dead. Britain and France have already dismissed their martial arts!
The powerful Soviet Union in history ~ EbookFREE.me ~ hasn't even emerged. Whether they can unify the Russian Empire is a big question mark, at least now European countries will not give them this opportunity!
If even the Germans who are still lying dead can't match, Ferdinand don't have to confuse! The Germans are passively exhibiting industry, and Bulgaria is actively exhibiting industry. If they ca n’t pass them, then there is really a problem!
Ferdinand smiled slightly, concealed the embarrassment, and decisively chose to divert his attention: "Really? It seems that our goal is one step closer. From now on, the French are no longer our competitors, and the British are also It can only be counted as half. Let's focus on the Americans! "
This goal is very powerful. At least in the short term, Ferdinand cannot see the hope of the Bulgarian-Vietnamese Americans, but since it is a long-term goal, it will naturally be a bit larger. A goal that is too easy to achieve and more challenging!
