Bulgarian Empire

The situation in the United States has come to an end for the time being, and it is not a short-term problem for the states to establish their own country independently.

According to information from the Americas, a pocket kingdom has appeared in the United States, and the small villages of Qian'er 800 people have become quite independent, but everyone has no time to pay attention to these children's play games!

At most, Ferdinand paid attention to the king election campaigns of independent countries such as the Kingdom of Texas and the Kingdom of Arisgar. How can I say that the Gotha family is also one of the top families in the European world, and naturally entered the candidate list? list.

However, due to the special national conditions of the United States, it is estimated that there will be no results in a while. At most, Ferdinand will push his hands in the dark.

In addition to these, the biggest event is the division of the U.S. Navy. Twenty-eight battleships and eight battlecruisers are the focus of everyone's division. Destroyers will suffice.

The British Empire was still as domineering as ever, and directly took away 17 dreadnoughts and four battlecruisers, and the rest were Bulgaria, France, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Russian Empire to share the spoils.

Of course, the British can get so much, and there is also Ferdinand behind the scenes. The navy is an aristocratic branch. The number of capital ships of the Royal Navy has increased by nearly half. Of course, this military expenditure will also increase!

The large increase in naval military expenditure will inevitably crowd out the funds of other departments, such as the Army and Air Force, and their military expenditures will be reduced.

At the same time, with so many battleships, the British aircraft carrier process will also be interrupted! John Bull's funds are also limited, and it is impossible to invest in every place.

Although the three kingdoms in America are prosperous, due to the war, they cannot bring returns to the British government's finances in the short term.

Using a bunch of warships that are about to become obsolete to hold back the development of the British, of course Ferdinand would not refuse.

The distribution of spoils for the remaining warships went very smoothly. Nicholas II, who was short of money, said that he could not support a large navy, so they didn't want the warships, and they could just discount them directly; the finances of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were not much better. , and there are no overseas colonies, isn’t it a waste to raise a large navy?

Both of them asked for discounts, and the rest would be protected by France and France. Ferdinand was not interested in building a large navy, so he took away two battlecruisers and four dreadnoughts, and left the rest to the French. up.

The discount required by the Russians and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was naturally borne by the French. Anyway, they are creditors, and they can just pay off part of the debt.

The key is to regain the title of the world's second largest naval power. How can the proud French tolerate being overwhelmed by the Japanese?

Arms race? Naturally, it doesn't exist anymore. Without the shit-stirring stick of the United States, who would dare to provoke an arms race in this era?

The British navy has once again returned to the era of the two-power standard, namely: the strength of the Royal Navy \u003e the total strength of the world's naval powers ranked second + third.

The world is peaceful, of course we need to develop the economy! Otherwise, after everyone is done working, they will have to make trouble with each other again. Now no one can help Bulgaria top the tank!

On August 12, 1921, the construction outline of Bulgaria's first "ten-year plan" was submitted to the Congress for review.

This ten-year plan includes industry, agriculture, education, medical care, military, transportation, etc. The total planned investment is as high as 100 billion levs, of which 40 billion levs are directly invested by the government and 6 billion levs are invested by private capital. billion levs.

Involving national key projects: 192, sub-key projects 321!

Only Bulgaria can do such a big deal. Other countries don’t know how many governments have been changed in ten years. How can the policy continue?

Regardless of the large amount of investment, half of it is spent on transportation. Railways and highways are two gold-swallowing beasts. Among them, railways are fully invested by the government, and private capital is allowed to intervene in highways.

In order to encourage private capital to invest in transportation construction, the government is responsible for solving land issues and exempting relevant taxes. However, the roads built by capitalists cannot be charged, and can only be profitable through gas stations.

Of course, if this is the only way, it would be too cheap. The government has also packaged the rural roads to the capitalists who undertook the construction of the high roads, and also built them according to Bulgaria's traffic management standards.

This standard is limited to the Balkan Peninsula, and other areas only need to build main roads!

Ferdinand attended the meeting in person. Due to the unique nature of the Bulgarian parliament, the speaker took turns, so there was no speaker.

Everything was done in accordance with the Bulgarian rules, and there was no extra nonsense. After Ferdinand signaled the start of the meeting, Rolex Dodd stepped onto the rostrum.

"The submission of Bulgaria's first ten-year plan to the parliament is now underway. All the relevant materials have been given to the parliamentarians, and everyone must have read them.

I'm going to force the parliamentary discipline again. Members are invited to speak in their professional fields. If you don't know the field, just listen to others.

During this meeting, no personal attacks are allowed, no disturbing the order of the venue, no discussion of issues unrelated to the topic! "

This is the characteristic of the Bulgarian parliament, which is completely different from Western parliaments. It emphasizes specialization and discipline, and the endless debate can only be fought by relevant personnel. If you don’t know anything, then just listen. Can vote.

The problem of violence in the venue has existed in history, but it has not existed since Ferdinand came to power. Those who dared to challenge the order were deprived of their status as members of parliament.

After a pause, seeing that no one raised any objections, Rolex Dodd continued: "Now let's move on to the first item, the discussion proposal of the "Ten-Year Plan: Great Industrial Plan" submitted by the Ministry of Industry.

1. The government invested 3 billion levs to build ten new industrial bases across the country and improve the infrastructure to attract enterprises;

2. Invest one billion levs in ten years, and build five large-scale steel plants, including steelmaking plants, coke plants, steel rolling plants, ironworks, mining plants and other ancillary facilities. It is estimated that the annual output of steel will be 10 million Ton;

3. Invest 1.2 billion levs in ten years to build 40 large-scale power plants, of which hydropower plants and thermal power plants are divided in half, and the daily power is expected to be 200 million kwh after they are put into operation;

4. Invest 200 million levs to increase coal production, including upgrading excavation machinery and improving mining technology. The annual increase in coal production should not be lower than domestic demand;

5. The government invests 500 million levs to promote the upgrading of the shipbuilding industry and rewards enterprises that promote technological innovation. The specific standards are determined according to the actual situation;

..."

There are a total of 128 items, but there are far fewer industries that require government investment than in the previous five-year plan. Many industries are supported by the government instead of bare-chested.

From this aspect, this is also a big progress. The foundation of the industrial foundation has been laid, and the rest is to upgrade the industrialization technology and expand production. The functions of the Bulgarian government have gradually returned to the right track!

The 128 industrial plans have a total investment of 15.8 billion levs, but the investment in many places here is no longer the government must invest in person, and private capital can also enter, which greatly reduces the financial burden. pressure.

At the beginning of the questioning, a congressman who worked in a steel factory raised a question: "Dear Mr. Lauren, I would like to ask if Bulgaria really needs so much steel?

Last year, the total steel output of Bulgaria was 5.86 million tons, and it may exceed 6.5 million tons this year. Our steel production has grown very fast. Is it necessary to continue to increase? "

Industry Minister Lauren Holman replied with a smile: "This question may be asked by many people, but I can tell you clearly-need!

This has something to do with our industrial upgrading. The big railway plan promoted by the government later, as well as the development of the shipbuilding industry and the development of the automobile industry, our current natural growth rate of steel cannot meet the demand.

Let me give you an example. Now our shipyards have an annual output of 500,000 tons of ships. Regardless of the annual growth rate, three large shipyards have just been put into operation, and they will be officially put into operation next year. The production capacity of these three shipyards alone is 1 million. tons, which means that our demand for steel in the shipbuilding industry alone will increase by one million tons next year!

There is also the automobile industry. At present, our domestic tractors and agricultural vehicles are growing very fast, with an annual growth rate of 43%, and the growth rate of household cars is also 21%. The demand for steel in the automobile industry Quantity is not a small number.

Our steel growth rate has not caught up with the consumption of the domestic market, so the government has increased investment! "

After getting a satisfactory answer, the member sat back in his seat and gave the opportunity to ask questions to others.

The host Rolex Dodd said, "If you have any questions, please raise your hands."

Soon someone raised their hand again. According to the usual practice, whoever raises his hand first will give priority to asking questions, and each person can abstain from voting once they have a chance to ask questions. If you want to ask a second time, you can only ask again after other people have finished asking!

Rolex Dodd said: "The second gentleman from left to right in the third row, please ask!"

The middle-aged man asked suspiciously: "Dear Mr. Lauren, in terms of investment cost, the investment of hydropower plants is obviously higher than that of thermal power plants. Now that European countries are promoting thermal power, why should we vigorously develop hydropower plants?"

Industry Minister Lauren Holman still smiled and replied: "This involves the dual issues of energy and environmental protection, let's talk about energy first!

Now thermal power plants mainly use coal for electricity, and a small part of them use diesel for electricity. Diesel comes from petroleum, but whether it is coal or petroleum, they are non-renewable resources. Our generation has used them up. Our children and grandchildren What about future generations?

Ordinary people may say that this is unfounded worry. We do not lack these things in Bulgaria, but as a government, we must take these issues into consideration. It is a little bit to be able to save a little!

From the perspective of environmental protection, thermal power plants are much more damaging to the natural world than hydropower plants. This needs no explanation. Just look at the thick black smoke from thermal power plants, and everyone knows that it is not a good thing.

Therefore, our Ministry of Industry has integrated the three factors of economy, energy, and environmental protection to formulate this development plan that pays equal attention to hydropower plants and thermal power plants.

And this is only temporary. In the future, if the country's economy allows, we may gradually replace thermal power with hydropower. This process is very long and may take fifty or even a hundred years! "

Lauren Holman's answer this time was greeted with warm applause. This generation of Bulgarians has a strong sense of social responsibility, and this kind of plan that can integrate the country's present and future is very suitable for everyone's appetite!
