Vol 5 Chapter 113: ,mercenary

How to govern the Caucasus is difficult for Ferdinand Jr. Although he has been exposed to politics for a long time, this is the first time that he needs to formulate a practical governance plan.
The more information he saw, the harder he felt. Economic, political and military needs to be taken into account, which seems to be an unsolvable problem.
But he also didn't think that Ferdinand would make such a big joke with him. Since this question is out, there must be a solution. If he can find the best answer, he can only rely on himself.
Politically speaking, the great national integration is one of Bulgaria's most important national policies.
Although the Caucasus region is vast and sparsely populated, it cannot support many ethnic groups! There are more than a hundred ethnic groups, which is an encyclopedia of Asian and European ethnic groups.
It was the first trouble to bring them all together.
The biggest advantage is that the Russians have done assimilation work on the ground for 180 years.
Secondly, the factors of the war have caused serious losses to the local young labor force, and the local people will not be too resistant to joining Bulgaria.
Ferdinand Little wrote down two words on the paper-marriage!
This article has already been done by the Bulgarian government. No matter whether the local population is relocated or the people in other regions, they have the intention to encourage them to marry.
Economically, Ferdinand Jr. chose to give up directly and wrote on the paper-mining.
There is no way out. Due to local natural conditions, other industries cannot develop except for the exploitation of some precious mineral resources.
After a pause, Ferdinand Little added two more words-repairing the road.
It is very in line with Ferdinand's style. Basically, the first thing to do in each area that Bulgaria occupies is to build roads.
Ferdinand Little was naturally affected by him, and he attached great importance to traffic issues.
Militaryly, this region borders the Russian Empire and there will be no military threat in the short term.
But this does not mean that defense work is not important.
At the same time, because of Bulgaria-Russia relations, local defense work has become very complicated. Even if the Russians cannot be stimulated, a strong fortification must be established.
Considering this special situation, Ferdinand Jr. wrote on the paper-a small number of garrisons, strengthened transportation construction, and ensured that the rear army could be reinforced at any time.
That's it!
A policy plan of less than 50 words would be worthless if Ferdinand Jr. was to be sprayed.
Therefore, the plan for governing the country is not in the formulation, but in the implementation!
Exaggerated plans for governing the country are used by politicians to fool the people and use mixed votes.
If you really do it, you will find that the bull head is not right, it will be very fatal!
How to ensure that this plan can be implemented effectively is the most troublesome question for Ferdinand Jr. and the real question given by Ferdinand this time.

"Your Majesty, the Dutch government has asked us for help again!" Metiev calmly said
"Oh, did the Dutch give up on the British this time? Or are they still waiting for the British's winter offensive?" Ferdinand asked with concern.
"This is not certain, but the Dutch people will probably not let them wait any longer. After working with the British twice, they have suffered heavy losses.
Many people think that the situation in the Kingdom of the Netherlands will be better than it is now if the Kingdom does not work alone with the British!
Now the Dutch government has become red-eyed, and they have spent 80 million pounds to suppress the rebellion. This is their fiscal revenue for more than three years.
They proposed that if we can help them suppress this rebellion, we can transfer half of Kalimantan (Borneo) to us. It seems that they do not intend to be neighbors with the British! Mettev thought for a while
"Half of Kalimantan, how did the Dutch government suddenly become generous this time?
I thought they would use the Maluku Islands to make up the numbers, or the Southwest and Southeast Islands to deal with it! Ferdinand asked in doubt
"Your Majesty, the economic value of the Maluku Islands is more than five times that of Kalimantan. How can the Dutch be willing to do so? The Southwest and Southeast Islands have been taken by the British!
It's the reward for helping them rebel this time, and you know the result. The Dutch government now thinks that the British intend to annex their Indian colony, so it intends to introduce us to Borneo and check the British. Metiev explained
Ferdinand just felt that a group of grass-mud horses ran in his heart. The economic value of the Maluku Islands is more than five times that of Borneo, then ten times that of half Borneo.
Sure enough, the value of these resources is different in different times.
As a spice island, the Maluku Islands is of exceptional value. Even with the impact of today's industrial flavors, fragrances still occupy a very important position in the world.
Although Borneo is the third largest island in the world, apart from its abundant resources, it has not been well developed. It was only in the 1990s that the local population exceeded nine million.
In this era, the population was only four or five million, and half of it was divided by the British. The area that fell into the hands of the Dutch actually became a chicken rib.
Of course, this refers to the economic value, mainly the gold mines that have been discovered. After so many years, almost all have been mined, and the rest is difficult to mine.
In terms of strategic value, Borneo's location in the center of the South Ocean is very important.
This is why Ferdinand was surprised, but he soon reacted. The higher the strategic value, the hotter it is for the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
The British had reached in, the Japanese were staring at it, and the declining Dutch kingdom did not have the power to defend it.
"That is to say, once we get these half of Borneo, we need to be neighbors with the British, and at the same time be wary of the Japanese ambitions," Ferdinand asked with concern.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Metiev thought for a moment
"Tell the Dutch that Bulgaria has no interest in Borneo, we only need a few sparsely populated islands, and we can build a military port!" Ferdinand said cautiously
The bait is good, but it is poisonous!
Bulgaria does not have the energy to fight for hegemony in the Nanyang region. At this time, it is very unwise to occupy the center of the Nanyang region.
Rather than occupying a few sparsely populated islands, controlling the main points of the strategy is fine.
Perhaps in the long run, the strategic value of Borneo occupies a very important part of Bulgaria's world strategy.
But now, it is only a purely investment project, and it is still a 10-year or 20-year investment, and no investment with economic returns can be seen.
"Yes, Your Majesty! But this time the Dutch government asked for help, how should we cope?" Metev asked hesitantly.
"It is inconvenient for us to shoot directly and recruit a mercenary to help the Dutch, but on the bright side, this unit must not have anything to do with us!" Ferdinand thought for a moment and said
It's not that Ferdinand was timid, but that in the era of nationalism, it was easy to intervene with the locals without authorization.
The population of the Nanyang region is over 100 million, and independence is a matter of time. It is not necessary for Bulgaria to bear this notoriety.
In case there is a future history book, the Ferdinand the Great ordered the Bulgarian army to help the Kingdom of the Netherlands, suppress the Indonesian national uprising, and brutally slaughter innocent people XX ～ XXX.
If it was a mercenary, it would have nothing to do with Bulgaria, even if it was a bloodshed, it would be a Dutch pot.
This army was nominally recruited in the name of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. This war funding was also the money that the Kingdom of the Netherlands sold the islands in the Nanyang region.
Except that Bulgaria has paid for some sparsely populated islands, it does not seem to do anything.
In this case, ordinary people have no idea what Bulgaria's role is. Even the insider had no evidence that the Bulgarian government was directly involved in the operation, and this black history naturally did not exist.
After all, the history of the use of mercenaries in European countries is too long. There were a large number of mercenaries in World War I. The Dutch used mercenaries without any problems.
In essence, if it was not for fear of bad political influence, it is estimated that the Dutch would have recruited mercenaries in the German region.
According to Ferdinand, at this time, even if the Dutch recruited mercenaries in the German region, the French would not condemn them at least ~ EbookFREE.me ~.
However, in this era, the influence of the French on the European continent was too great. Even though the British had a say on the European continent, they were a little lower than them.
"Your Majesty, there are several members of the Bulgarian Military Observer Mission. Isn't that a problem?" Chief of Staff Christoph asked with interest.
"Of course, not only members of the Bulgarian military observer mission can appear, but also members of other countries' military observer missions.
As long as the members of this mercenary do not show Bulgarian officers and soldiers, it will be fine.
Membership, we can also make them intentionally more complicated, such as adding some retired officers and soldiers from Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia, Sweden and other countries.
The specific number, weaponry, and troop formation will be determined by your staff. This time, it will be a training exercise in the rainforest area! Ferdinand thought for a while
To help the Dutch calm down, Ferdinand is not Mr. Churchill. There is no need to consider so many political influences. There is no need to mobilize all the soldiers to blossom and launch an attack at the same time.
The Indonesian region was originally composed of a large group of islands. It is entirely possible to take advantage of the weakness of the rebels without the navy. One island, one island beat it.
Although the speed is a bit slower, it can concentrate the superior forces and ensure victory!
If the British were to fight so steadily from the beginning, the rebels on any island in Southeast Asia would not be their combined enemy, and the rebellion would have been suppressed by them.
