Bulgarian Empire

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements!? The problem of agriculture cannot be solved overnight, and we must continue to engage in low-yield farming in the short term. If you want to develop the tertiary industry, wait another thirty years.

If the productive forces do not develop further, and the total amount of wealth created by society does not increase, how can the people's living standards be improved?

If the standard of living does not improve, how can people have the money to travel and spend money?

Why in this era, people have the habit of saving money. In fact, they are forced to join. If they have no savings, once something happens, they will go bankrupt immediately.

Especially for serious diseases, basically as long as you encounter life savings, all your life savings will be filled in.

Hospitals in Bulgaria are fairly virtuous, at least for terminally ill patients who cannot be treated, they will advise family members to adopt conservative treatment.

How conservative treatment is to be considered, for rich people, it is natural to continue to spend money, to be a guinea pig for a doctor's experiment, and to gamble on the chance of survival. Those who have no money can only use cheap medicines to relieve the pain of patients, and how long they can live depends on luck.

Ferdinand was also very aware of these situations, but he was powerless. In the whole world, Bulgaria's medical level is considered high.

Even so, in the face of major diseases, you can only gamble on luck. The rich have to gamble on luck, let alone the poor, who don't even have a chance to gamble.

There are many social problems in Bulgaria now, and these problems are still unsolvable. It made Ferdinand often think, how did other senior traversers handle it easily, and how did it become a chronic social disease when he came here?

The only thing that makes him gratified is that everyone in the world is like this now, and even other countries are even worse. It is the consolation of these colleagues that highlights his excellence.

Especially Nicholas II next door, in Ferdinand's opinion, he is really a good man! The more chaotic the Russian Empire, the more stable Bulgaria.

If it were not for the ongoing civil war in Russia, these Russian immigrants would not have identified with Bulgaria so quickly and had such a strong sense of belonging.

"Your Majesty, the Russian government has applied for a loan from us again!" said the Chancellor of the Exchequer Kennedy with a smile on his face.

"It's another loan. Nicholas II has lost all the 1.2 billion levs so quickly?" Ferdinand asked suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, it's not that much. This loan deducted the principal and interest that should be repaid in the first year. In fact, the tsarist government only got 11.168 billion levs.

They have to repay about 1.3 billion levs in principal and interest every year. From 1923 to now, they have paid 3.9 billion levs. If all these are deducted, then they actually only spent the remaining 7.268 billion levs.

The 1926 debt they have now repaid, so now they are forced to borrow new debts to pay off old debts, and to deal with the ensuing war, which requires money. ' explained Kennedy

Sure enough, it was thick and black, Ferdinand thought to himself!

The 2.468 billion levs earned by the tsar from the sale of the land should be 2.466 billion levs incorrectly. Russian officials are ethical, and these public relations fees can be deducted from the final payment.

Of course, the money was not discounted at all, and the Bulgarian government paid it directly in one lump sum. The loan of 10 billion levs is not so easy to get. According to international practice, the principal and interest sum of the first year is deducted first, and 8.7 billion levs are obtained.

In three years, another 3.9 billion Levas of principal and interest were repaid, of which Nicholas II only used 4.8 billion Levas.

Of course, if Nicholas II had a sense of financial management, he might be able to make a fortune elsewhere to make up for the loss.

However, this possibility is unlikely. If Nicholas II had this talent, the Russian Empire would not be so short of money. With the tsarist family's industry, if the investment is reasonable, the current income is estimated to be enough for war expenses.

The easiest way is to go to London to buy stocks, and to engage in real estate with an annual rate of return several times easier,

It is also enough to fill the gap.

Of course, people who have no vision and background to play will probably die in a corner. The background of the Tsarist family is still there, and the only thing lacking is vision.

...

After thinking about it, Ferdinand suddenly found that the interest charged this time is not too high, even the principal with interest is only 1.3 billion levs per year. Thinking about the loans of later generations of online platforms, the interest can be doubled several times a month. Really kind.

Even compared with the bank loans of later generations, this monthly interest rate is considered low. For a thirty-year loan, the monthly interest rate is only seven thousandths.

There are no messy defrauding fees, the loan is released in a timely manner, and the loan will never be called upon before the due date. It is really conscientious. Ferdinand decisively ignored the fact that he was plotting Ukraine.

War is the biggest gold-swallowing beast. Nicholas II could last for such a long time with such a small amount of money, and the young Nicholas I was dying. If there were no blood transfusions from the British behind him, he would have already killed this opponent by now.

"What do the Russians plan to use as collateral this time?" Ferdinand asked with concern

"This time the Russians no longer intend to use the land as a mortgage. Nicholas II probably regretted it now. The unification process of the Russian Empire has been delayed. Given their financial situation, it is almost impossible to repay the loan.

So the Russians have learned their lesson this time. They plan to borrow 20 billion levs of interest-free loans from us, which can be mortgaged with tariffs, salt taxes, and wine taxes! said Kennedy

Ferdinand shook his head directly. If the Bulgarian capitalists want to continue to expand the market in the Russian Empire, then the possibility of reaching this deal is very high.

It's a pity that Ferdinand is no longer interested in these things. After ten years of war, the Russian Empire has long been exhausted.

He clearly felt that in the past two years, the intensity of the civil war in Russia has been greatly reduced. In order to buy the army, Nicholas II is also conferring a lot of titles and attracting a large number of supporters.

The Russian Empire had enough land for him to squander, so Nicholas II was much more generous than Ferdinand.

Even so, it is only to stabilize the morale of the army. After all, the war has been fought for too long, and the anti-war sentiment among the people has been on the rise.

If they had done this in the first year of the outbreak of the civil war, it is estimated that, let alone Nicholas, even the Moscow government, which had gone to Siberia to recuperate, would have been pacified long ago.

Ferdinand is the one who has the most right to discover the combat effectiveness of military nobles. Just look at the Bulgarian army. As soon as they heard that there was a battle, they rushed to ask for it one by one, for fear of missing the opportunity.

Even in the most critical moment, they are the most persistent. Stimulated by military exploits, on the battlefield, many of them are often able to explode beyond imagination.

"Just reject the Russians. This business is too risky. We in Bulgaria can't afford it. I suggest they try with the British and French!" Ferdinand said with a smile.

not do? No!

In the end, this business can only be done by Bulgaria. The Russian Empire already has a lot of debts owed to Britain and France, which has long been expected.

If it weren't for the war indemnity received by the Russians in the World War, which was used to offset part of the interest, the British and French capitalists would vomit blood, especially the French who were miserably cheated by the Russians.

Back then, in order to woo Russia to deal with the Germans, there were a lot of interest-free loans and low-interest loans. Now if the German-Austrian war reparations did not pay their interest, Nicholas II could only declare default.

There is interest, but no one knows where the principal is, so the mood of the French is the most complicated.

On the one hand, they hope that the Russians will continue the civil war, so that the Russians will not have the energy to compete with them for European hegemony;

After all, this is a fund of hundreds of billions of francs, which is not a small amount for any country. Historically, because Russia was destroyed, the French financial sector was severely damaged in the end.

At least the Russians are still there now, and the transferred war indemnity can barely repay the interest. These financial institutions can still accept it, so that those who are directly implicated will not go bankrupt.

At this time, do French capitalists dare to lend money to the Russians? Even if the Russians can take these taxes as collateral, they must be able to get them!

Even Ferdinand didn't dare to take these taxes as collateral, so he knew how bad the Russian tax system was. Maybe he got the Russian taxes in name, but in fact he couldn't collect a big tax.

It is impossible for you to personally send someone to Russia to collect taxes, right? Will the tsarist government really cooperate with you in collecting taxes? Even if you cooperate, the people below can still prevent you from getting money.

Don't overestimate Mao Xiong's integrity. If it really reaches that point, the tax that can be received in the end will definitely be three melons and two dates.

The rogue Tsarist government is not afraid of external threats. In history, not one or two Tsars declared bankruptcy in order to renege on their debts. Then these bankers who borrowed money can only consider themselves unlucky.

What about the British? Is this still worth considering?

Without their troubles, Nicholas II would have unified Russia long ago. Just look at the weapons and equipment of Tsar Nicholas Jr., most of which are British goods.

The weapons and equipment left over from the World War were selflessly given to the Russians by the British, so that this civil war could continue forever.

In contrast, although Ferdinand was also engaged in the arms trade, he had to restrain himself a lot. That is to say, the captured Allied weapons were sold to Nicholas Jr. and the Moscow government, and the Bulgarian equipment was only sold to Nicholas II.

On the surface, he never supported Nicholas Jr. These weapons were bought by British businessmen from Bulgaria, and it is unknown who they sold them to in the end.

Now the London government has invested a lot in little Nicholas. If Nicholas II unified Russia, wouldn't their investment be in vain?

What's more, a split bear is a good bear. Once Russia is unified again, where will their expansion be?

As long as the tsarist government is not stupid, they know that the expansion of the European continent has reached its limit. If they continue to expand to Europe, they will be beaten by gangs.

Neither the French nor the Austro-Hungarian Empire, nor the Germans and Bulgaria, will tolerate their continued expansion in Europe.

With their current strength, even if they unified the whole country, they would not have the guts to start another big war.

Don't even think about entering the ocean. Although the Baltic Sea has been recognized as the territory of the Russians by default, they have no money to play with the big navy now!

Then I looked around and found that the Balkan Peninsula, Asia Minor Peninsula, and North Persia were all Bulgarian territories. As the only ally of the Russians now, they still needed Bulgaria's support, and it was impossible to turn their faces at this time.

Only Central Asia and the Far East are left. If Mao Xiong goes to the Far East to fight the Japanese, it is estimated that John Bull will fully support it.

However, from the perspective of economic value, it is a better choice to enter India from Central Asia. Even if Mao Xiong dare not directly challenge the British Empire, small tricks are absolutely indispensable.

Anyway, on land, they are not afraid of the British, and the most important ocean trade line is controlled by Bulgaria. The British want to suppress them, at most they will restrict them in the Baltic Sea.

In the Black Sea area, Bulgaria is definitely impossible to let the British in. The British can't block Bulgaria together, right?

If the United Kingdom really did this, it is estimated that the Russians would still celebrate with champagne, and the Suez Canal would be cut off if the Anglo-Bulgarian conflict happened.

It is not far from the Palestine area to the Suez Canal, and the Bulgarian Air Force only needs two or three hours to blow up the canal.

It doesn't take long, as long as they are blocked for three to five months, the Russians can enter India.

Everyone is very clear about these simple issues, so the British Empire is the most active on the issue of splitting Russia.

Of course, other countries are also very active, including Ferdinand, on this issue, we all stand on the same stand.

Otherwise, the civil war would have lasted so long. Nicholas II seemed to have the upper hand in many cases, and the dawn of victory was hopeful, but every time at the last moment, he failed due to various unfavorable factors.

For example, now, Nicholas Jr.’s government will soon be able to gain the support of the British again. As far as Ferdinand knows, the London government spends tens of millions of pounds in special funds every year, and finally replaces them with weapons and ammunition and flows into Russia. .

The same is true for the French. The French army's weapons are updated at an unusually fast rate, and the amount of weapons and ammunition consumed exceeds that of the war.

These increased consumption also flowed into Russia, and even a lot of weapons and ammunition in it were transferred through Bulgaria, and Ferdinand also tacitly pretended not to know what to do.

In addition to Britain and France, there are many countries in Europe that secretly support the Russian Civil War, such as Sweden and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. These countries have provided support to the rebels.

Did Nicholas II know? Of course he knew, but without evidence, he could do nothing! The tsarist government is about to start talking about evidence, and you will know how seriously they have been weakened.

Without the support of so many international friends, how could Nicholas II have not unified Russia? You must know that the main force of the Russian army is in his hands.

Little Nicholas still has the support of a part of the Russian army, and the Moscow government is very short of qualified officers. Even if their organizational ability is the strongest, the troops are brave enough when they are defeated, but their combat effectiveness is not very good. .

Russian history has changed beyond recognition, and Ferdinand is still waiting for the British to come out to be villains and completely split the Russian Empire.

Judging from the current situation, if Nicholas II fails again, he will never have a chance to unify Russia. When the war-weariness of the people reaches the limit, no one can continue to promote the war!

"Your Majesty, why don't you talk to the Russians first? The bottom line of the tsarist government must be very low now. If we persist, we will gain a lot this time!" Kennedy thought for a while and said

"No, there are some things that we are inconvenient to do too much. Even if we want to take advantage of the situation to rob, the Russians should take the initiative to let us rob, instead of us rushing to rob!" Ferdinand said cautiously

Kennedy nodded with a puzzled face. Anyway, he couldn't see any difference between the two. Anyway, the final result was to take advantage of the fire.
