Vol 6 Chapter 4: Good intentions

After the establishment of the Versailles system, Germany became the world's largest debtor. Under Ferdinand's butterfly effect, no American had given them blood in this time and space.
The German economy is naturally not good. From the end of the First World War to the present, they have not been able to restore pre-war levels, let alone move forward.
Before the outbreak of the economic crisis, the economic pillars of Germany and Italy were foundries. After the outbreak of the economic crisis, countries began to play barriers to trade, and products could not find a market, so they had to close their doors.
By the end of 1930, the unemployed in Germany had approached the 8 million mark, and the number of unemployed in Italy had exceeded 4 million.
Against this background, the Radical Socialist Party came to power, and in order to get rid of the crisis of hunger, they turned their attention to the "Youtai".
No way. At this time, only the "oil tycoons" who play finance can take out the money. Most other domestic capitalists have suffered heavy losses in the economic crisis.
After the end of World War I, capitalists, including Juncker aristocrats, have lost their place in the financial field and entered the era of "Youtai".
Coupled with heavy war reparations, everyone has not recovered, and half of the industrial products have to be used to pay off debts, which is a nightmare for the real economy.
Judging from the current situation, it is clear that the two sides have been talking about each other. The German government has started financial control and banned capital outflows. Depending on the situation, it will take a while to speak with a butcher knife.
"Your Majesty, the London conference has reached an impasse. The Japanese are dissatisfied with their naval tonnage ratio and do not plan to continue to sign the contract!" Mev said lightly.
Obviously, this is to evade the importance. The London conference is at an impasse. How can Japan do it alone?
Even if the Japanese government wants to refuse and everyone puts pressure on them, they have not yet compromised. The point is that Bulgaria does not want to renew the contract.
This has nothing to do with other factors. It is simply because of the growth of national strength that this paper treaty is not needed. Now, if Ferdinand is willing, it only takes two or three years to build a Royal Navy.
In the era of aircraft carriers, the advantages of the Huangjia Navy have ceased to exist, because of the aircraft technology, they are now at a disadvantage.
Of course, they don't know yet. They will continue to advance on the way of large ships and artillery. If there are no treaty restrictions, perhaps 50,000 to 60,000 tons of giant warships have already appeared.
Historically, the Japanese did not create Yamato-class battleships. One word used to describe it was-big!
By this time, the British and French naval tonnages were full of old-fashioned warships. The Bulgarian navy had just been updated. The Japanese navy was reluctant to throw old ships and wanted to build new ones.
Use the arms race to divert the economic crisis? The idea is good, but in fact it is all nonsense, no money is required to build a warship?
With so many unemployed people in Britain and France, even if they start a hundred warships at a time, they cannot support so many people.
Unless a world war is waged immediately, military companies will not be able to accommodate many people. Besides, where does the government have so much money?
This is also the reason why Germany, in World War II, was in a hurry to wage a war. They had no money, and if they did not go out to rob, they would be finished!
"Let's go with them. Once someone takes the lead in tearing up the treaty, we will keep up. If it can bring down the British, it will be even better!" Ferdinand said for a moment.
Ferdinand knew that the current British Empire was actually superficially strong, and the three North American and London governments had shared dreams.
Count on them and the London government to share the hardships and share the difficulties together. Don't think about it. The number of British descent is less than 10%, and it has no centripetal power to the central government.
It ’s okay to be blessed together, and to suffer together. People do n’t mind being solo. Is n’t that true of American independence in history?
Unless the British can relocate to North America, everyone will part ways sooner or later.
Many people still think that the three North American countries are British colonies and want to go out again, and the Irish are the main force among them.
Well, Ferdinand acknowledges that there is also his credit here, which has always been the focus of Bulgaria's export revolution.
In nominal terms, the three North American countries are already part of the British Commonwealth. In fact, many regions have refused to fly the British flag and hung flags that they consider appropriate.
The London government could not do anything about it. The local people were not able to mess with it. The rifle machine guns were all pediatrics. The local militia had tanks and artillery, although they were still the products of the First World War.
They have developed the right to self-defense to the extreme. Although the three North American countries have been included in the British Commonwealth, in fact, they have not achieved much financial gain, and the original US central government has drawn more.
Now if there is an arms race, how much power the British can use in the three North American countries is really hard to say.
In the UK alone, their total industry is less than one-third of Bulgaria, and the two sides are simply not comparable.
...
"Father, this is the plan for the Eastern European Economic Summit. We are ready to invite the Austro-Hungarian Empire, West Russia, East Russia, Belarus and other countries to participate.
Then everyone establishes a low-tariff economic alliance. By then, we will have an economic market of 200 million people, and we will get rid of the shrinking export market caused by the economic crisis in one fell swoop! Ferdinand Little said cautiously
"Good idea, why not invite other countries to participate?" Ferdinand asked.
"It's mainly about transportation. These four countries border on us. We can all trade directly. Everyone can reduce tariffs and break tariff barriers. We can all benefit from it!
The markets of the three Baltic countries are too small to be neglected. Poland's diplomacy is so bad that if they join, we must spend a lot of energy to coordinate their relations with Russia and Austria.
The four Nordic countries are too far away. Even if our products are shipped in the past, the high transportation costs also lose their competitiveness.
Italy itself is an industrial country, and their markets are too bad. If they join, the use of their cheap labor will also have a certain impact on us.
Not to mention Germany, we are not doing charity, there is no need to train ourselves as a competitor!
France and Spain are far away in Western Europe, and letting them join the alliance, we cannot achieve a win-win situation, there is no need to cut off branches. "Ferdinand Little analyzed
"Well, your analysis is in place. This alliance can indeed maximize Bulgaria's interests, but not now!
You should first urge Nicholas II. He should pay off the debt. According to the treaty, if they still cannot loan in the next month, then we will take over Ukraine! Ferdinand said with a smile
It is important to establish an economic ecosystem, but this is a long-term benefit. In the short term, it is more reliable to eat Ukraine first.
If it drags on, and the vitality of Ukraine is restored, it will be more difficult to integrate them.
Now is the best time. Affected by the war, a group of old, weak, and sick are left in Ukraine. Only a few young people are left, and most of them have gone to Bulgaria to work.
At this time, if they swallowed them up, they wouldn't even get upset. Leading parties were all ready. Those who came to work by themselves did not want Bulgaria to annex Ukraine.
This means that their annual income can increase by 30 to 40 percent, and they can easily get nationality and get a series of benefits.
"Father, I understand what to do!" Ferdinand Jr. replied
In order to ensure that the transaction can be successfully completed, the West Russian economy can only continue to deteriorate until the dust is settled.
Only when they couldn't hold it, Nicholas II would choose to sell Ukraine.
As for whether this transaction will affect the relationship between the two countries, it will definitely have an impact, but the impact will not be too great. This is a clearly marked land sale, and it is not a force plunder.
This is not the core area of ​​the Russians. The Ukrainians are not equal to the Russians. The gap between the two sides has not disappeared.
It was not until the publication of Ferdinand's "Ethnic Origins" and with the vigorous promotion of national governments that ethnic conflicts in Eastern Europe were alleviated.
If we want to completely eliminate the ethnic divide, it is estimated that it will be another ten or twenty years. The older generation has almost passed away. The new generation grew up watching the "Ethnic Origin", and they will agree that everyone has Common ancestor.
Before that, we must first unify the language and culture. Only when the language and culture are the same can we truly complete national integration.
It is only Bulgaria that really does this, and those who are unwilling to merge have been eliminated in pain.
Whether you like it or not, there is only one language, one language, one culture in Bulgaria!
Of course, the rest is erased. In this regard, Ferdinand has no discipline. Even history can be tampered with. He doesn't mind tampering with it a bit more.
These are verified by experts, and have nothing to do with him as a king, so they are not responsible for it.
The question of true and false cannot be passed back to obtain evidence. Who can tell clearly, as long as Bulgarian experts and scholars can determine it in one go, that is true.
Ordinary people are not able to distinguish, and the big deal between experts is to fight with each other. These things are difficult to say clearly.
Anyway, the Ottoman Empire took care of it, and they did all the bad things.
Bulgaria was originally multi-ethnic, and Ferdinand did not say that they are a single ethnic group. That is, only one couple in the ancestors was a cross-ethnic marriage, which is also a mixed ethnicity.
Such evidence is too easy to find. Everyone can't believe it. Every family goes back more than ten generations, and there have always been cross-ethnic marriages.
Home is evidence, do you still need doubt?
"No, Ferdinand Jr., our royal family is not suitable to come forward. You must know that Nicholas II is your puppet. You should avoid suspicion and let the government people remind the Russians.
We should know nothing, and it cannot affect our lofty position in the eyes of the Russian people, do you understand? Ferdinand added uneasily
"I see, but father, where does our lofty position among the Russian people come from?" Ferdinand Jr. asked in doubt.
"The problem is very simple. You have to know that after the outbreak of the civil war in the Cabinet, my mother and I have made terrible donations many times to help civilians. They donate 30 to 50 million levs every year.
After more than ten years, we have naturally accumulated a certain degree of prestige. Perhaps our prestige among the people is higher than yours.
This money is used by our own charity, so there is more publicity, you know! Ferdinand replied calmly
Ferdinand Little nodded thoughtfully. Donations are a trivial matter, and the key is publicity. Who knows how much good you have done without publicity?
The benefits of doing this are also very obvious. When Russians immigrat, they will definitely choose Bulgaria.
Not only are the distances close, everyone has a good relationship, but more importantly, everyone thinks that Ferdinand is not only a great monarch, but also a benevolent monarch.
It goes without saying that greatness can be seen by looking at the development of Bulgaria, and kindness is naturally reflected in helping the poor.
The feelings at the top are not obvious, and the people at the bottom do not like the benevolent monarch, especially the Russians in the civil strife. They are even more eager to have such a monarch.
After emigrating to Bulgaria, he has not yet undergone brainwashing, and he is already an advocate of Ferdinand.
Coupled with the life of Bulgaria, it is indeed far beyond their time in Russia. The officials ruled the Qingming and the world was peaceful, which fully met their definition of Mingjun.
In the shortest time, these people became loyal supporters of the royal family and pushed Ferdinand to the altar with the original Bulgarian people.
Now it's Ferdinand Jr.'s turn, he is going to be more tragic. Obviously, there is no such good opportunity. No matter how well you can do it, there will always be flaws when you compare it.
The people in this era are simple, and when they are about to starve to death, give him a dark bread, and he will remember your kindness for life.
When the population is worry-free, if you give him another bread, others will not appreciate it, then it is difficult to say, after all, they no longer need it.
In the case of worry-free food and clothing, everyone's pursuit naturally sublimates, such as: houses, cars.
However, the impact of these things on them is far less than the original dark bread. This is not a gap in value, but a gap in feelings.
Ferdinand appeared as the Bulgarian savior, pushing a small projectile country to the top. In the hearts of the Bulgarian people, that is naturally the greatest monarch, and there is no one.
Even if Ferdinand Little can go further and let everyone's living standards continue to improve, it can only be said that he is a monarch worthy of everyone's love and has nothing to do with greatness.
"Thank you, father ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I understand what to do next!"
Ferdinand Jr. replied after a moment's silence, and his mental quality was still good. Knowing Guigui, he didn't feel like he was out of time.
Ferdinand, already in his late forties, has already passed the age of Secondary Two, and Ferdinand's start to him is already the best in the European royal family.
All the big troubles have been solved, and the rest are some small problems, which are reserved for him to do his work, otherwise Ferdinand can do a lot of work.
For example, the problem of Ukraine, can Ferdinand not be able to handle it, he must let him as the Crown Prince do it?
Another example: The next five-year plan was designed long ago, but the project has not yet been set up. Is it not possible to set up a project now?
It is the more he knows, the more Ferdinand Jr. can understand Ferdinand's hard work.
Without enough achievements, he, Ferdinand II, can only be Emperor II, not Emperor Ferdinand II!
