Vol 5 Chapter 108: Excavation

The chaos in Central America erupted suddenly. Not only did it confuse the British, but even Ferdinand was blown up. Even if it was chaotic, it would not be possible for so many countries.
Unfortunately, Bulgaria's intelligence network in the Americas is still incomplete, and behind-the-scenes can not be traced. Ferdinand can only guess out of thin air.
There are only a handful of countries in the world with this strength and this ability to stir up the chaos in Central America.
First of all, the British, but they don't have to deal with themselves. Even if there is any conspiracy, they can wait until they end two wars.
Unless it is an internal struggle, the two sides have reached the point where you can die. In order to defeat political opponents, it is possible to do so.
It is theoretically impossible in the British Empire. The power of political parties is not so strong, and most of them are concentrated in the country, unless it is planned by a consortium. Such a chance is very small!
Secondly, it is the state finance. In other words, it is the US consortium and the US government is finished. These consortiums have suffered heavy losses, but most of their core strengths have been preserved.
They have been operating in Central American countries for 180 years and have the strength to provoke this war.
The problem is, Ferdinand couldn't think of a reason why they did this? After all, it takes a price to plan for this turmoil. Even if the Central American turmoil, what benefits can they get?
Then it was the French. They also barely have this strength to plan this Central American war. In theory, in order to crack down on the British, they were motivated to plan the incident.
Unfortunately, although the motivation exists, the timing is not right. The mess of the French government has not been resolved. It is obviously not wise to provoke the British at this time.
Another is the Spaniards who don't have much sense of existence. Central America was originally their colony. Even if they have become independent, the Spanish influence is still not small.
This was the only suspect excluded by Ferdinand for a very simple reason. The Spaniards had no way to turn this influence into action.
In the end, it was planned by the people in the Central American countries. They are suspect. Whether it is fighting internally and seizing power, or expanding territory, this possibility is possible.
The rest of the countries and forces do not have to think about it, they do n’t have to worry about their motivations, they just understand the strength, they ca n’t do it if they want to do it!
"His Majesty, in order to alleviate financial pressure, the toll on the Suez Canal has been increased by 20%, and our transportation cost to the Indian Ocean has increased again!" Prime Minister Constantine said gritted
"Well, did the British raise the toll for all merchant ships, or was it only for us?" Ferdinand asked with concern.
If it is only for Bulgaria, it means that what they have done before has been exposed, and the London government warned Bulgaria by doing this.
"All merchant ships, but British merchant ships will receive government tax rebate subsidies after the fact. In fact, it is only for the countries along the Mediterranean coast, and our losses are the worst!" Constantine said angrily
Sure enough, it was the British Empire. This warned Bulgarian, French, and Austro-Hungarian empires, and forced them to bow their heads!
From the perspective of transportation, Bulgaria can get rid of the Suez Canal. In theory, Bulgarian industrial and commercial products can be transported through the Baghdad rail, and then directly from the Persian Gulf into the Indian Ocean.
Obviously, this only exists in theory. The cost of rail transportation is not low. In the 20th century, the cheapest mode of transportation was sea transportation.
If it were to be transported by land, the transportation cost would be at least 20-30% higher than it is now. Obviously, this is not acceptable to Bulgaria.
The toll on the Suez Canal has always been an important expense in Bulgarian sea transportation costs. The toll has been increased by 20%, which means that the transportation cost will increase by 7 to 8 percentage points. It also means that Bulgaria ’s exports For industrial products, net profit should drop by two or three percentage points.
Most of the manufacturing industry was not a profiteering industry. Now the British are cutting such a knife, and they are challenging the bottom line of Bulgaria!
compromise?
On this issue, France may be able to compromise. Their main economy is the financial industry, so processing and manufacturing exports account for a small proportion of the economy.
The Austro-Hungarian Empire can also compromise. Their shipping is underdeveloped, and most overseas shipping is done through international shipping companies. For example: British shipping companies and Bulgarian shipping companies are their main employment targets.
Only Bulgaria has no way to make concessions on this issue. With such a card from the British, Bulgaria has to pay at least hundreds of millions of leva tolls each year.
This is also a big blow for domestic industry and commerce. If this time is tolerated, will the British continue to increase tolls next time?
What should I do?
Slow knife cutting meat is the most severe, want to treat Bulgarian industry and commerce as pigs, this is the old life of Ferdinand!
As the world's largest capitalist and the world's largest factory owner, this is simply hitting the lifeline of Ferdinand.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a harsh wording note to the London government to see what tricks the London government wants to play!
At the same time, the government immediately started the exploration work on the Aqaba Bay Canal. We can't be stuck in the neck by the British! Ferdinand said fiercely
Had it not been for political reasons, Israel's later generations would have opened the Grand Canal in the Gulf of Aqaba.
From a geographical point of view, the Aqaba Bay and the Suez Canal are comparable. The distance from the Alababa Bay to the canal is an increase of one hundred and eighty kilometers.
As for the technical problems, they simply did not exist. It was nothing more than a lake in the Suez Canal, which reduced construction.
This problem is not worth mentioning at all. Moreover, when the Suez Canal was excavated in the last century, it could only be carried by shoulders. Now, excavators and cars have been born, and the technical difficulty has been greatly reduced.
In fact, Bulgaria had plans to dig the Aqaba Gulf Canal after the end of the First World War, but only in consideration of its relationship with the British, it has not started.
Now that the British have raised their tolls silently, it is no wonder that Ferdinand is digging the Aqaba Bay Canal to grab business with them.
Even in a hurry, Bulgaria still waives tolls directly. Anyway, the most popular route on this route is Bulgarian merchant ships. How can it not lose money?
"Your Majesty, there is no technical problem. The design of the Aqaba Bay Canal has been piled up in our Ministry of Communications for several years. But what about political influence?
If the British knew that we were digging the Grand Canal in the Gulf of Aqaba, would it come out to cause damage or even bar our ships directly from the Suez Canal? Minister of Transport Bessier said hesitantly
"It depends on whether the British have made up their minds to fight us now!" Ferdinand sneered
The faces of the people changed drastically, and they soon recovered. The British are so busy now that they want to turn their backs on Bulgaria, at least they have to wait until they are done!
First, the war quagmire in Afghanistan, and the larger quagmire in Southeast Asia. Now the chaos in Central America has involved the British Empire.
Do they still have enough troops available at this time?
Obviously there does not exist. Without sufficient army, a war broke out with Bulgaria. The Royal Navy is indispensable. A war that has lost both sides is definitely not what the London government wants!
Even if John Niu ’s diplomatic methods are more powerful, Ferdinand is not afraid now.
Unlike the Germans, Bulgaria is not sandwiched by several major powers, so more articles can be done.
For example: No matter what benefits the British promised to them, it is impossible for them to send out millions of troops to the Near East and Bulgaria to die.
Even if the French government is crazy, the French people will kill them as soon as possible. This irrelevant interest is completely unwilling to be killed!
As for the Germans, the British dared to arm Germany, then the French became natural allies of Bulgaria, and the hatred between France and Germany was not so easy to unravel.
What's more, inside Germany, how many kingdoms? Who would be willing to watch the central government grow bigger and reunite them?
You ca n’t expect the German central government to kill these kingdoms against the sky, and then push them over from the Austro-Hungarian Empire and die with Bulgaria, right?
It is estimated that they have only begun to act, and they will face the joint strike of the three countries.
In addition, can Continental Europeans find a teammate worthy of Ferdinand?
Obviously this does not exist!
Of the remaining European powers, Italy is really abolished, and the Kingdom of Spain is weak, and they have no qualifications for the British to be teammates.
The pro-insurance factions in the Austro-Hungarian Empire are much stronger than the pro-British factions, not to mention that there are still a lot of internal contradictions. Prepare to collapse as soon as the war begins!
The last European power, unfortunately, is still an ally of Bulgaria and is still busy fighting civil war. It is impossible for the British to catch fire!
Now that the two countries are at war, the big problem is that they were blocked by the British for three or five years, and then Bulgaria also launched an infinite submarine battle to hunt British merchant ships in the Atlantic.
As for the Suez Canal, it is estimated that the first day of the war will be paralyzed, and then the Bulgarian army will kill all the way to South Africa and all the way to India to defeat the British world supremacy.
Then he was also counterattacked by the British, and suffered five injuries and seven injuries. The two sides had the same effect, letting other countries rise.
This is why Ferdinand did his best to avoid dying directly with the British. After the war, Japan, France, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire were all possible fishermen.
They even became fishermen together and waited for a blow at the last moment to defeat Britain and Bulgaria together.
"Your Majesty, maybe we can pull the Mediterranean countries together to excavate the Aqaba Canal, and take this opportunity to build a Mediterranean alliance to exclude the British!" Proposed Foreign Minister Megeve
It is indeed a good idea for Ferdinand to have a bright idea in his mind. If France and the Austro-Hungarian Empire can be pulled together to form a Mediterranean alliance, then the world's political landscape will change again.
The British empire's dominance over the world will no longer exist, and even on the issue of continental Europe, the British can be excluded.
This is very important for the future. The only problem is the issue of dominance. Neither the French nor Bulgaria can easily let go.
If this problem is not handled properly, the alliance will be contradictory in the future, and this alliance will lose its original role!
"Well, this proposal is very good. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs can contact France and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. If we can talk about it, it will be very beneficial to our future development!"
Ferdinand hesitated, and finally decided to give it a try. History told him that the winner was not only the strongest in himself ~ EbookFREE.me ~ but also the most allies.
The German lesson made Ferdinand remember one thing-never stand in isolation, unless you are strong enough to fight the world!
"Your Majesty, don't you pull in the Russians? If the Russians also join this alliance, the influence will become even greater!" Prime Minister Constantine asked in confusion.
"It is true that the Russians joining this alliance can strengthen our influence, but what about the Russian-Occident conflict?
Although this contradiction has been suppressed for the time being, it will definitely erupt someday in the future. At that time, we will face the same dilemma as the Germans. Who do we choose to support?
That being the case, why not let this tragedy happen in the first place?
The Alliance around the Mediterranean is now established, and the Russians are not Mediterranean countries. We do not invite them to join, which is also the past. This will not affect our alliance with the Russians!
In the future, the Russian civil war will end and the conflict between Russia and Austria will break out. We still have room to maneuver, so we won't have to choose between the two sides! Ferdinand explained
Ferdinand's meaning is very clear. The ally relationship between Bulgaria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire is limited to the interests of the Mediterranean, and the ally relationship with the Russians is also limited to the economic common interests of both parties.
In the future, the conflict between Russia and Austria will break out due to the problems of the European continent. Bulgaria can still mediate in the middle. If it does not work, it will be neutral. Anyway, it can't trap itself!
