Chekov took the lead in asking: "Excuse Marshal Popov, how long does the military plan take to complete? How much manpower and material resources are involved? How can we ensure that we can achieve the strategic goals of globalization with limited funds?"
Budget inquiry is an indispensable part. Of course, Popov is also well prepared. The strategic goals thrown out by the military are larger than one. Of course, it cannot be achieved in one go!
Popov replied calmly: "Let me answer the first question first. To eliminate the unstable factors in the colony can not be accomplished overnight.
The total area of our current colony is about eight million square kilometers, which is 12 times that of our native land. There is no railway or road in such a large place, and even a round trip is not a trivial task.
The military's military action plan is based on a five-year period, and the goal is to initially clear the unstable factors of the colony within five years! & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>
I think this is easy to handle. We can directly recruit recruits to the colonial bandits and use actual combat to train. Although the casualties may be a little bit bigger, but in order to protect the combat effectiveness of the troops, this cost is still worth it! "
After a pause, after everyone digested it, Popov added: "The globalization strategy is a step that every powerful country must take. This is a long-term national policy.
In today's world, there is only one strategic layout that has truly completed globalization-the British Empire, and even the French globalization layout, there are still some sections that are not perfect, and the rest of Japan, the United States, and us are just on the road!
Although the road is long, we must not go! Bulgaria can go from nothing, from weak to strong all the way to the present, relying on a preemptive strategic layout, and we still cannot fall behind! & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>
This time period has been carefully considered by the military, and the final calculated period is within 30 to 50 years, which means that our generation basically has no chance to complete this strategy! "
Well, Popov is also a bachelor. He doesn't say how much it costs. He clearly told everyone that the globalization strategy is just a matter of thinking. I want to complete and leave the opportunity to the next generation!
Chekov naturally would not let him go so easily, and continued to ask: "So, can we understand that Bulgaria's globalization strategy is just a plan, there is no need to start in the short term?"
Popov calmly replied: "Of course not, we must prepare in advance, otherwise if the international situation changes, the opportunity suddenly comes, and we are not ready to waste the opportunity for nothing. unfortunately?"
After a pause, Chekov said cautiously: "Good Marshal Popov, I understand what you mean. After your statement, I think there are serious problems with the budget proposed by the military this time! & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>
First, the work of colonial bandits can be promoted in a distributed manner. Personally, it is recommended that the military focus on the Asia Minor Peninsula in 1918, taking into account the Middle East at most.
Second, the navy entered the Indian Ocean, as long as it has a foothold in the Persian Gulf, we do not need to over-invest in the short term;
Third, the globalization strategy can be shelved first, and it is not too late to invest after our economy has unfolded. There is no need to squeeze valuable construction funds now;
Fourth, although the integration war is important, I personally feel that it is sufficient to improve it locally. As far as our military strength is concerned, no matter whether it is in the Balkans, the Middle East, or even the Persian Gulf, no one will be us. Opponent!
The colonies in the African region are our weaknesses, but the African colonies have no current value. In the short term, I don't think anyone will fight a war for our African colonies! & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>
In summary, I personally propose to cut the military's budget for the next year by 45 percent, that is to retain 1.43 billion levs (about 5.72 million pounds) is a more reasonable figure! "
Bulgaria still came out of the Balkans. Even if it was to limit military spending, everyone did not cut it too much. The huge sum of 1.43 billion levs was already comparable to Bulgaria's military expenditure in 1914 before the war!
Of course, this also requires the use of troops in the colonies. Military expenditure cannot be too low. Even after the end of the World War, Bulgaria has a lot of strategic supplies, but military expenditure will still not be low!
There is no doubt that this number is unacceptable to the military, and then they started arguing. As the protagonist, Popov naturally belonged to the siege, but everyone's skin has been trained. No matter what you say, he does not think move!
Seeing that it was almost time, Constantine decisively stopped everyone's quarrel and snapped sharply: "Quiet! The inquiry continues, and now the Ministry of Industry starts!" & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>
...
A series of procedures have come down. The time has passed two days, and the funds of various departments have been suppressed. Of course, it is still far from the budget of 5.2 billion levs.
No, it is 500 million levs, of which 200 million levs have been withdrawn by Ferdinand as an emergency reserve, which is not within the scope of this budget.
However, Constantine is still very satisfied with the current progress of the work, and the budgets of the various departments have been successfully suppressed to within 600 million levs. It only takes a few more debates to complete the task.
Under normal circumstances, the budget meeting time in Bulgaria does not exceed one week. After all, everyone is very busy, and it is impossible to talk about the budget every day.
Usually at the last minute, you still need to come up with your own budget. There is still another step before, and the heads of each department will evaluate the reasonable funding of other departments! & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>
This can't be messed up. It can't be said that to deliberately reduce the funds of others in order to grab funds, this will be considered to have no overall view, and the consequence is to be ready to go home. Bulgaria does not need a country leader without an overall view!
This data is also a reference standard. If everyone is willing to give you a big number, don't be complacent, this means that your department's workload in the coming year will be bursting!
Corresponding to the annual plan is the annual assessment. You can't put forward a lot of plans on the budget. Wait until the end of the assessment to complete none of them?
This is a form of malfeasance. If there is no special reason, the Independent Commission Against Corruption will probably investigate the departments that have not completed the task. Even if there are no economic problems, you must prepare to roll back home. The Bulgarian government does not waste!
Therefore, everyone is careful enough when formulating plans every year. They must list projects to grab budgets and complete plans to make achievements! & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>
The 1918 budget meeting lasted until mid-December, and the preliminary budget plans of the various departments were formed, and they could be formally determined as long as they were approved by Ferdinand.
The general framework is still within the scope of Ferdinand's plan. For example, the final military expenditure was fixed at 1.872 billion levs (about 74.88 million pounds), accounting for 36% of fiscal revenue.
The education expenditure was fixed at 780 million levs (about 3.12 million pounds), accounting for 15% of total fiscal revenue.
The cost of industrial construction is only 500 million levs (about 20 million pounds), accounting for 9.6 percent of total fiscal revenue.
...
These are things that can't be helped. Although the end of the World War, this does not mean that the world is too peaceful. The international status of Bulgaria must also be maintained by the military, so military expenditures are still high! & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>
The increase in education funding is also an inevitable result. A group of scientific researchers have just been recruited from Germany, and they must be placed. You need money to build a laboratory, right?
There were still a lot of "big men" who were playing at the time. People's treatment should always be guaranteed? And the original high-level talents in Bulgaria, you can not be cut off for no reason, right?
By the way, in addition to the national financial appropriation for education in Bulgaria, there is also patent income from colleges and universities, social donation income, and student tuition income!
Of course, the universities in Bulgaria do not charge tuition fees. This "tuition fee" is not an ordinary tuition fee. There are always some local tyrants who want to spend money for their children to go to college. Although they do not get a formal diploma, they also learn something. Is not it?
Regarding what Ferdinand is pursuing, he is not slaughtering, he can get a few cheap liberal arts classes, and he can also charge tuition fees ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 levs per year. He refuses without justification! & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>
Anyway, for many people, the higher the price, the better. Moreover, after a lot of sister-in-laws entered the university, all the bad things were corrected. These rich people did not suffer at all!
The investment in industry does not seem to be large. In fact, the money is only used to provide enterprises with basic supporting facilities. After all, they have just swept back a batch of cheap equipment from Germany. As long as the supporting facilities are completed, they can be assembled and operated.
As for whether the company can make a profit? I do n’t know about this anyway. In Ferdinand ’s view, the money in this era is really very profitable. It takes time for the Germans to recover their vitality. Britain and France have gone further and further on the road of financial death. Now it is When Europe ’s Big 6 is the least competitive!
In this period, as long as there is no problem with the direction of investment, there will basically be no loss. Europe ’s 600-plus years are abolished, and the spring belonging to the bourgeoisie has come. & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>
If you miss this period and wait for German order to return to normal and industry to start production normally, a lot of cheap goods will flood Europe Big Six, and competition will be cruel.
Well, Bulgaria was originally playing with cottage products, and they were almost as cheap as they used it. Taking advantage of the wage gap between Eastern and Western Europe, and the difference in raw material prices, they had their competition in the most competitive European countries before the First World War. A place, let alone now.
Ferdinand has little interest in light industry, for the simple reason that he is not bad at money! The use of banks to control enterprises has far higher returns than direct investment enterprises. It is no wonder that the British and French consortia have rushed to play finance!
...
In fact, before the outbreak of the World War, Bulgaria had another important industry to show-agriculture, but with the end of the World War, neither Ferdinand nor the Cabinet became very concerned. & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>
The reason is very real-there is more land! Now that the land has increased, the food production has naturally increased, but the demand for food in the international market has not increased!
The Ministry of Agriculture proposed an agricultural transformation at the annual budget conference. The original government mandated the area of cultivated land to be maintained is no longer needed. Instead, it is necessary to guide the people to replant cash crops!
Of course, the crisis of oversupply of grain will not explode in the short term. At least until the Russians resume food exports, Bulgaria need not worry about this problem.
But we must start to plan ahead. Otherwise, after a few years of land reclamation, a large area of wheat and potatoes will be harvested. It will not feel so wonderful!
To resolve this crisis, we still have to rely on the Family Planning Commission. This problem can only be solved perfectly if the population increases. Therefore, family planning must continue. & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>
Then, in this round of budget competition, UNHCR took the lead and not only received 250 million levs, but also received special approval from the cabinet: the awards or subsidies provided by national laws were put in, and the budgeted part The government is in charge!
In simple terms, we still encourage everyone to give birth, the more the better! It does n’t matter if it ’s a budget, anyway, now the Bulgarian government wants population!
According to the plan of the Bulgarian government, the human resource gap in Bulgaria will be over 80 million in the next ten years. If you want to make up for this gap, in addition to immigration from Russia and Europe in the short term, there seems to be no better way!
But immigration is not a long-term solution, and the quality of these people is also flawed, and they are increasingly unable to meet the needs of the Bulgarian exhibition.
At a working meeting in 1918, Ferdinand made a request to UNHCR: a population doubling in two decades!
This is also a conclusion drawn after accurate calculations. Due to the factors of the Russian civil war, Bulgaria currently receives at least tens of thousands each month and more than 100,000 refugees.
Coupled with immigrants from European countries, the population of Bulgaria wants to double in 20 years. On average, 2.3 million newborn babies need to survive each year to complete the task.
Of course, this population doubling ~ EbookFREE.me ~ refers to the doubling of the population with Bulgarian nationality, not the doubling of the population in Bulgaria-controlled areas, otherwise the officials of the UNHCR will not do it, and it will not be completed at all!
Bulgaria still has a long way to go to complete this great population strategy.
However, in theory, as long as the current birth rate is maintained, it may not be necessary to wait 20 years to complete this strategic goal in the 14th or 15th year. The government is optimistic about this plan!
Ferdinand naturally did not dispel everyone's enthusiasm. Although he knew that the decline in population growth was an inevitable trend after the small farmer economy was destroyed, he did not know when this time point started!
