Vol 6 Chapter 11: Sterling Group vs Lev Group

The world situation has changed beyond recognition. Who will proactively provoke this war?
Ferdinand is confused. Judging from the current situation, the war broke out one day later, Bulgaria's advantage would be greatly increased.
From a very good perspective of development, among so many countries and powers in the world, the fastest growing national strength is Bulgaria.
If you can lie down and win, why take risks?
Anti-war in Britain and France is the mainstream, and the appeasement policy has begun. Otherwise, Germany and Italy will not be able to re-arm.
Germany and Italy now lack the strength, and there is no blood transfusion in the United States. It is difficult to break the international order.
The Austro-Hungarian Empire had bad luck and was too close to Bulgaria, so they had always been safe and secure, unlike the master of things.
The Russians don't need to think about it. Nicholas II is old, and his ambitions have been blown away. He is the last person who does not want European chaos.
Stalin is ambitious, but his strength is limited and his population and traffic are limited. Even if Ferdinand's five-year plan is pirated, the results achieved are very limited.
It is also threatened by the Japanese in the Far East, and belongs to the kind of helplessness!
The United States deserves to be the country of choice. Even if it is divided, the countries in the country are now living well, and there is no atmosphere of war.
In Japan in the Far East, radicalism prevails, but who do they want to fight? This is a serious problem, and the north and south factions are arguing endlessly.
The production of less than two million tons of steel is really difficult to support a big war, and it can only be played in a wave.
The arms race has been provoked. The Bulgarian government has made it clear that it is aimed at Japan. Unfortunately, no one believes in telling the truth these days.
Even the Japanese government did not think that Bulgaria's expansion of the navy was directed at them!
In their view, this is a very obvious strategic deception. Whoever believes is a fool!
Why Bulgaria and Japan PK? What is the reason? Where are the benefits?
This is obviously not logical!
Could it be that Japan is worried about the kingdoms of Alaska and Hawaii? But the Japanese government stated that they had no plan at all.
The reason is very realistic. The radicals at the bottom are scared. They do not do things, and the Japanese government will not take the initiative to do things.
They have had enough troubles, and then add new fronts. Do they think they are not fast enough?
Hawaii is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. We can tolerate the existence of an independent Hawaiian kingdom, but we absolutely cannot tolerate Japan's grasp of this strategic point.
The same is true in Alaska. The Canadian Autonomous Government can be a neighbor with this small kingdom, but it is still unnecessary to be a neighbor with the Japanese!
Canada's attitude can affect the position of the British. They must ensure the safety of their younger brothers. The Kingdom of Alaska can also influence the position of Bulgaria.
No matter it is Russia, Russia, or Japan, they can only look forward to sighing. At the same time, anyone will counsel the two most powerful countries in the world!
But Ferdinand does n’t know what the Japanese think? A beautiful misunderstanding has triggered this arms race!
The parties did not figure it out, and the outside world became even more unclear. Everyone naturally did not agree with the official explanation of the Bulgarian government.
On the contrary, it challenges the British hegemony's world supremacy. This statement is even more acceptable!
Affected by the arms race, John Bull, who was unwilling to fail, also fought back.
The military issued the "Navy Act" tit-for-tat, that is, in the same period, the number of shipbuilding of the Royal Navy cannot be less than that of any country!
This is obviously directed at Bulgaria's shipbuilding plan, but Britain is more restrained and did not directly point its head at Bulgaria.
Therefore, Ferdinand Little pretended not to see it, and what to do, and did not respond tit-for-tat. This is not necessary!
Economically: Since the abolition of the gold standard, the value of the British pound has gone down, plus the impact of counterfeit banknotes, the value of the British pound is now only one-third of its peak.
The export competitiveness of goods has come out, the wealth of the British people has also been plundered, and the gap between the rich and the poor has continued to widen.
The so-called stimulus economy has not undergone a qualitative change. After the trade barriers began, the British could only live on one-third of their acres.
In the international mainstream market, tariffs are a big problem. Bulgaria has established the Eastern European Economic Union and established an economic ecosystem.
The British were naturally unwilling to fall behind. In 1933, the London government brought together Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Paraguay, Bolivia, Panama and other countries to form the British Pound Group.
The treaty form stipulates that each member country trades and international accounts, and all use the pound for settlement.
The currencies of various countries have a fixed exchange rate with the pound sterling. The pound is used as a reserve currency for issuing currencies. Countries store most of the gold in British banks for international trade settlement.
In addition, the London government has also announced that foreign agencies or individuals are prohibited from issuing securities in the UK to prevent capital outflows.
Affected by the establishment of the British Pound Group, Britain's foreign trade volume rose by 27% in 1934, once again regaining its position as the world's largest trading power.
"His Majesty, the British set up the British Pound Group, and we cannot afford to ignore it. It is imperative to establish a settlement system with Lev as the international currency!" Prime Minister Tolski said cautiously
"Well, this is natural. The Eastern European Economic Union we established before is just a small-scale common sense. If we compete on currency settlement, we still have an advantage in Europe!" Ferdinand Little thought for a while
The reason is naturally that Bulgaria's trade in the European market is greater. For example, 75% of the entire European oil market is monopolized by Bulgaria.
Otherwise, Portugal, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands and other countries have long been drawn over by the British.
Now they haven't stood in line, a big part of the reason is because of the oil supply.
There are many oil-producing regions in the world, but there are not many oil fields that can be exploited in this era. Most of them are controlled by Ferdinand, which intentionally limits production.
This artificially created a situation in which demand exceeds supply. Of course, the international oil production giants were embarrassed and made a lot of money. No one can refuse.
The second is commercial trade. In the field of machinery and equipment production, Bulgaria has maintained a leading position in the world. British and French capitalists are more willing to use Bulgarian equipment.
Even in the field of food processing, Bulgarian exports are more trusted by consumers. Even if the price is higher than similar products, they cannot dispel their enthusiasm.
This is the brand effect. After long publicity, the world knows that Bulgaria's food safety standards are the strictest.
No one knows more about the discipline of the capitalists than themselves. They never eat the products they produce.
People with financial ability are naturally willing to buy some more secure products.
Due to the trade balance policy implemented by Bulgaria, the more exports, the more imports, unless there is a large gap between the two sides, there is no way to balance the trade.
Under this circumstance, governments of all countries are more willing to trade with Bulgaria. Everyone is in and out, and everyone takes what they want, which is what everyone likes.
To this end, the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs signed a large number of treaties of mutual favored nation treatment.
"Yes, Your Majesty! Now we need more people, come to our side, once the Lev standard is established, the British will be blind!" Prime Minister Tolski said
"Is there any specific plan? It is not easy to win over these countries. They are not the soil buns of the Americas. The British flew on the boat for a while!" Ferdinand said with a smile.
European countries haven't stood in line, but they are naturally waiting for the price to sell. Whoever gives a big benefit, they will fall to whom. This is very realistic.
If South American countries can drag on, after the Bulgarian quotation is over, it is estimated that the British bid will be even higher.
"Your Majesty, we can do bundling settlements of oil levs and not accept any other currency settlement, except of course gold!" Chancellor Merkel suggested
This is not a joke, if the posterity will be startled if people look at the map ~ EbookFREE.me ~ most of the world's top ten oil reserves are Bulgarian territories, the top 20 countries, More than half are still in Bulgaria.
If you calculate the total amount, the world ’s six or seven layers of oil are buried under Bulgarian land. In this way, many countries cannot refuse.
If Bulgaria does not sell oil any day, the world ’s industry will be paralyzed. This is the best weapon.
"Well, it can be done, but pay attention to the means and don't let everyone be too disgusted. After all, there are many oil fields controlled by the British!" Ferdinand Little thought for a while and said
The amount of oil used in this era is not as exaggerated as the later generations. If the game is overdone, John Niu will exploit it regardless of cost and still meet the market demand.
Of course, the probability of this happening is almost zero. No one wants to buy and sell at a loss. Capitalists are not philanthropists.
Even government intervention cannot harm their interests. Otherwise, just refer to how many oil tycoons are subverting the regime, and you will know!
