Bulgarian Empire

At the same time as the Russo-Japanese War broke out, the Ottoman Empire was also undergoing great changes. After the Balkan War, the Sudanese government was forced to carry out a top-down military and political reform under pressure from both home and abroad.

This reform included many aspects such as religious reform, educational reform, military reform, political system reform, and economic reform. In the short term, the reform of the Ottoman Empire was successful.

He has re-established a modern army, and has made some progress in the field of education and economy, but the worst ethnic problem has not been solved for a long time!

Although the Ottoman Empire still has a population of more than 20 million, the number of its main ethnic groups is too small. Now the number of authentic Turks is less than 7 million!

Obviously, the reform of the Sudanese government failed to take into account the interests of other domestic ethnic groups, let alone resolve domestic ethnic conflicts. National integration is a dream!

At the beginning of 1906, the Sudanese government had initially completed internal reforms, and its comprehensive national strength had increased. Especially in the military, the Sudanese government has learned the lessons of the defeat in the Balkans, and spent a lot of money to buy advanced weapons from the Germans and train a new army.

But before this reform, the main ethnic groups of the Ottoman Empire, Turks, Arabs, and Kurds, had fallen behind in the economic field.

The main commercial activities in the country are occupied by Greeks and Jews. This cannot be changed by a single policy!

However, after the reform, many regulations of the Ottoman Empire encouraged Turks to develop industry and commerce, but this one did not apply to other nationalities, which made the Greeks and Jews very dissatisfied!

Oh, that's all Ferdinand learned, and he didn't even have time to read the more detailed report!

In his opinion, the reform of the Ottoman Empire is undoubtedly a step forward on the road to suicide!

If a country where the main ethnic group is not dominant, if it cannot integrate the various ethnic groups in the country, then sooner or later it will split up!

"Your Majesty, this is information from the Ottoman Empire. The Sudanese government seems unwilling to reconcile with the failure of the last war, and is ready to move again." Fuhu handed over a piece of information and said

Ferdinand smiled slightly, apparently he did not take the Ottoman Empire seriously. After losing the Balkans, the industrial strength of the Ottoman Empire was cut by more than half!

In terms of comprehensive national strength, Bulgaria is more than twice that of the Ottoman Empire at this time; from an industrial point of view, the gap is more than five times!

In terms of population, the Ottoman Empire has more than 20 million people, and Bulgaria's current population is more than 15 million, and more than 2 million Russian immigrants can be added. The gap between the two sides is not big.

In terms of mobilization, the Ottoman Empire was struggling. At least the minorities in the country who were fighting for independence were impossible to mobilize!

In this regard, it is not as good as Bulgaria. Perhaps many immigrants do not have deep feelings for this country, but everyone is still very jealous of military rewards!

The fairness and fairness of the Bulgarian army in rewarding military exploits is absolutely impossible for the Ottoman Empire. At least their officers can only be Turks. As for fairness, it is even more nonsense!

"Keep staring, don't worry about them, I want to see what tricks the Turks can do!" Ferdinand said confidently

It’s not that Ferdinand is already inflated. Looking around, the Greeks are still trying to pay off their debts, the Kingdom of Montenegro is struggling to farm, and Romania is paralyzed by tariffs. Except for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he really doesn’t pay attention to it!

Even in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the military strength gap between the two sides is not very different. At least before the Austro-Hungarian Empire could not unify the language and writing, their military advantage over Bulgaria was very limited!

...

"Your Majesty, our ambassador to Russia has just received news that the Tsarist government has intentionally abandoned the Sea of ​​Marmara and handed over Constantinople and the Dardanelles to us!" Foreign Minister Megev said excitedly

Looking at the foreign minister who was stunned by the pie, Ferdinand said lightly: "It's not that simple,

The Russian Black Sea Fleet has been defeated for so long, and they haven't seen them give up. I'm afraid it's conditional to give up suddenly now!

At least the tariffs of these two straits have not been given up by the Russians, although now they have been mortgaged to the French! "

Ferdinand guessed unscrupulously that the Russians are now out of money on the eighth floor and plan to cut expenses. After all, the reconstruction project of Constantinople is also a considerable expense!

Now that the Black Sea Fleet is gone, it is impossible to rebuild such a fleet even if the Russian Empire does not have more than ten years of effort!

However, the political and religious significance of Constantinople is too great. No matter in whose hands it is, a lot of money has to be invested in rebuilding it!

For the Russian government, now that the Black Sea Fleet is gone, the military significance of Constantinople can no longer be guaranteed.

Instead of continuously investing money in the mouth of this gold swallowing beast, and seeing no return in the short term, it is better to throw it to Bulgaria first. Anyway, after the Russian Navy is rebuilt, they can still come back again!

It's a pity that even after guessing the purpose of the Russians, Ferdinand had to accept it happily. After all, it also indicates that the relationship between Russia and Russia has begun to change qualitatively!

Obviously, the tsarist government also realized that with the decline of the Russian Empire, it was unable to completely suppress the rising Bulgaria, and it began to implement a new foreign policy!

The relationship between the two sides is beginning to change from the relationship between the boss and the younger brother to a normal alliance relationship. Of course, this will take a long time for the two sides to adapt to this new diplomatic relationship.

...

The change in diplomatic relations is still a matter of the future. Ferdinand knew that it was time to solve the problem of Russian immigration. After all, in order to restrict ~~, the Bulgarian government set a high threshold for naturalization.

The immigrants from Russia are basically illiterate, and the best performers among them have already completed the assessment and joined the big family of Bulgaria!

But for the vast majority of people, it takes too long to complete these requirements! Of course, there are exceptions for those who have made great contributions to this country, but it is a pity that there are even fewer people who meet this requirement!

But now Ferdinand decided to relax the restrictions once, and swallow this group of human resources first. Otherwise, the early immigrants felt that they had almost saved their money and ran back to Russia. Wouldn’t Ferdinand’s work be in vain?

After working so hard to give them literacy education and brainwashing them for so many years, even if only a part of them lost, it would be a big loss for Ferdinand!

"Sir, what do you plan to do with the two million Russian immigrants in the country?" Ferdinand asked at the cabinet meeting.

After thinking for a while, Prime Minister Konstantin said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, this matter is very troublesome to deal with! Most of these Russian immigrants are mainly young and strong, and only a small part of them are with their families.

Moreover, their overall quality is low, and most of the jobs they are engaged in are heavy manual labor. Many people still have no way to guarantee their future life, and there are many bachelors!

Under the condition that they have not obtained Bulgarian citizenship, the government can still pretend not to see it. Once they are granted citizenship, our government will have to find a way to solve their life and personal problems! "

Yes, these problems have long plagued the Bulgarian government. In fact, the ratio of men to women in the Balkans is fairly normal.

Due to the war, in some places there are even more women than men! But after counting Russian immigrants, this situation has been changed.

For enterprises, it is of course better to be strong and strong to introduce ordinary labor force. In this respect, young men are definitely more dominant, so most of the immigrants are young men!

As for the life of the immigrants in the future, Ferdinand was not really worried about it. The reason is very simple. The average life expectancy of this era is very low, and there is no aging population at all!

The current average life expectancy in Bulgaria is just over 50 years old. This is on the premise that Ferdinand strictly controls food safety and restricts capitalists from unscrupulously squeezing employees!

Basically, ordinary people spend their entire lives running around for a living, and those who can live to their seventies and eighties basically have good family conditions and do not need the government to consider pension issues!

After thinking about it for a while, Ferdinand suggested: "Or, let them figure out a solution by themselves! The government can negotiate with the enterprises, give them vacations in batches, and let them go back to Russia to marry their wives!

Well, we can also bear part of the travel expenses for them, and when they return, the returning merchant ship can pick them up along the way! "

Oh, Ferdinand's idea is a bit bad. The situation in Russia is turbulent now, and it will be difficult for them to find a job after they go back. Don't be afraid that they will run away!

As for whether it will be influenced by Russian revolutionary ideas, Ferdinand said that it doesn't matter. The current Russian Revolutionary Party cannot protect itself, but it has no consciousness to spread revolutionary ideas to the world!

What's more, their ideas are not acceptable in Bulgaria. Now Ferdinand's national policy is "contributions match benefits, and rights and obligations are equal."

At the same time, it also opposes absolute egalitarianism, clearly stating that absolute egalitarianism only exists in theory, as long as the material basis has not been achieved and everyone's needs can be met, the so-called egalitarianism is nonsense!

After long-term brainwashing education, many people have accepted this idea. The specific manifestation is that their jobs are paid more for more work. In addition to salary income, most of them also have overtime pay!

The most important thing is that the capitalists are affected by the general environment, and they place more emphasis on reputation! Once Bulgaria's reputation is bad now, it will be difficult to move forward.

The specific manifestation is that the gates of the upper class will confine you, and the transportation controlled by the government will automatically put you in the back row, and everyone will reject you together during business cooperation!

These are the bloody lessons that countless people have learned by trying their own methods!

Therefore, under this general background, no matter what the capitalists think in their hearts, they still retain a touch of humanity in their actual actions. At least they dare not be so black when squeezing employees!

These are not available in Russian society, so there is no ~~-ism in Russia, and there is no shadow in Bulgaria. To put it simply, everyone is able to live on, and the desire for revolution is not strong!

After thinking about it, Constantine agreed with Ferdinand. At the moment when Bulgarian-Russian relations are changing, it is also a top priority for the Bulgarian government to properly handle Russian immigrants!

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Constantine replied
