Bulgarian Empire

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? In 1925, currencies all over the world experienced a large-scale depreciation, and the Bulgarian Lev was no exception. Only when the gold standard was established, there was no rapid decline.

If you look at it based on gold, the value of the Lev has not changed, but Ferdinand knows that this is all used to fool people, and the Lev has actually been depreciating long ago.

Inflation continues. From 1914 to the present, the overall price level in Bulgaria has increased by 24%, and the purchasing power of the currency has been declining. This is an indisputable fact.

In the past ten years, the total amount of gold in the world has increased by nearly 50%. Under the influence of supply and demand, the total amount of money issued in the world has not only increased by 50%?

At least Bulgaria's money supply was more than three times what it was in 1914. Although the gold reserves also tripled on paper, this only stabilized the international exchange rate.

What should be inflated in the country still needs to be inflated. From an economic point of view, people who borrow money have made money, and the interest on deposits barely outperforms inflation.

All this was covered up against the background of Bulgaria's rapid economic development.

The public may not know, but Ferdinand can’t and doesn’t know. These problems must be solved, otherwise Bulgaria’s economy will have problems sooner or later if it continues.

"Mr. Kennedy, what do you think about domestic inflation?" Ferdinand asked

"Your Majesty, this issue is very complicated. Inflation is happening all over the world, and the main reason is that the French abandoned the gold standard.

Since then, the value of the franc has plummeted, making French exports more competitive because of the devaluation of the currency.

Affected by French goods, the prices of countries all over the world have now been impacted, and inflation has spread rapidly to the whole world!

Fortunately, the industrial production capacity of the French is not very good, otherwise the inflation in the world will be more serious now. As a member of the world economic system, it is difficult for us to be alone! ’ explained Chancellor Kennedy

"No, even if the French dump goods all over the world, it will only cause prices to fall. How can they cause prices to rise?" Ferdinand asked suspiciously

"Your Majesty, the price of raw materials in the international market has risen, and the cost of labor has also increased. These factors are the direct reasons for the rise in prices!" Kennedy said hesitantly.

"Lauren, how many industrial raw materials do we purchase every year? Can you find a way to change suppliers?" Ferdinand asked with concern

This issue is very important. If Bulgaria's industrial system has not been able to get rid of its dependence on overseas raw materials, the lessons of the Germans are in front of them. They will have to keep their tails between their tails for a long time in the future.

"We import about 2.56 billion levs of industrial raw materials every year, of which rubber is the main one, followed by cotton.

At present, our domestic rubber and cotton production capacity is limited, which cannot meet our industrial production needs! ’ said Industry Secretary Lauren Holman after a moment’s thought

"The issue of cotton is easy to say, we have already started large-scale planting in the colonies, and we can be self-sufficient in the future with these renewable energy sources.

The issue of rubber is more troublesome, and the geographical environment for planting is a bit more demanding, but it can also be produced through chemical means. The Germans have set an example. They were able to synthesize rubber ten years ago. There is no reason why we cannot do it.

The key is rare ores, such as: tungsten ore, molybdenum ore, titanium ore, vanadium ore, zirconium ore, tantalum ore, niobium ore, lithium ore, beryllium ore, rare earth...

Although these special industrial raw materials are not in great demand, they are indispensable minerals in industrial development! said Ferdinand, frowning.

"Your Majesty, these minerals are actually not a big problem. Most of the minerals can be found in our country, because the amount of use is not very large. We only need several hundred tons of many minerals every year.

The least even requires only a few tons.

In our strategic reserves, we have reserved enough for us to use for two or three years. Under normal circumstances, as long as our country is not lost, it is difficult to be blocked, unless we become a public enemy of the world!

Instead, it is bulk industrial raw materials that can really threaten industrial production. Because the demand is too high, there is no way to reserve them in advance, but our shortage of these things is not large. ’ explains Lauren Holman

Ferdinand nodded. Today's Bulgaria is no longer the Bulgaria of the past. Due to its geographical location, it happens to be stuck in the middle of the Eurasian continent.

On the huge land area, some minerals can always be found. Although the output of some rare and some minerals may not be high, at least there are, right?

It is impossible to have the tragedy of being blocked today and the factory will be shut down tomorrow. The domestic production capacity is not enough, and smuggling can still be played.

Even the Germans persisted under the blockade of the Allied Powers for several years, and finally collapsed because of the lack of food, followed by the lack of bulk industrial raw materials. These rare metals were hoarded in advance, and capitalists helped them smuggle them. lack.

What Ferdinand was worried about was not smuggling, but the rising price of raw materials. For example, if the price of cotton has doubled, the domestic textile industry in Bulgaria will almost come to an end.

Another example is that the price of rubber has risen, and Bulgaria's domestic automobile industry will suffer again. Although it will not go bankrupt, it is certain that profits will be greatly reduced.

"Well, then it will be a trouble for us to increase the reserve of these rare minerals to prevent the international price of rare minerals from suddenly skyrocketing!

At the same time, the Prime Minister urged the colonies to speed up the development of plantations. Our domestic market is still waiting for their cotton and rubber! "Ferdinand thought for a while and said

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Constantine replied

"Remember that these things must be done in secret, don't let anyone find out!" Ferdinand warned

Plan ahead, these are not Ferdinand's careless worries, but the British are already preparing to attack Bulgaria, and they will fight directly with a sharp sword. The London government is not that crazy yet.

The current British Empire simply does not have the strength to provoke a war. If a war breaks out, the London government will be powerless to recruit troops.

Now everyone is busy making money. If the national economy is in a good state and fights a national war, only an idiot will do it!

Looking at the two world wars, they both broke out after the outbreak of the capitalist world economy in order to divert the domestic crisis. It is not possible to provoke a war just by relying on individual will.

How can the British deal with Bulgaria without the two sides turning their faces?

The best option is to stir up conflicts between Bulgaria and neighboring countries, and then support other countries to wage war with Bulgaria, and use the war to interrupt Bulgaria's development process.

It's a pity that the British couldn't find a qualified teammate this time, and Bulgaria's expansion became more conservative. The countries bordering them didn't intend to fight with them.

Which countries are in direct contact with Bulgaria now?

The Russian Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, France, Italy, Persia, and the British Empire itself.

In terms of strength, it seems that apart from France, only the British Empire has personally entered. It is impossible to provoke a conflict at all, and the place where the two sides border is of no value at all.

No matter how confident the British are, they would never think that the two countries, France and Bulgaria, would fight an all-powerful war over a pile of sand. A war without sufficient benefits is doomed to fail.

The rest of the Russian Empire is now empty and can be ignored, and their opinions can be ignored on international issues for at least ten years.

In addition, Italy, Austria-Hungary, Persia, and Bulgaria have more or less conflicts of interest, and it is not difficult to provoke their conflicts.

It's a pity that the gap in strength is there. Even if the three go together, Bulgaria can easily beat them to the ground.

If this happens, Ferdinand doesn't mind giving the British a medal, but he is worried that he can't find a chance to expand?

These situations have been ruled out, and the rest is trade. The only thing the British can restrict Bulgaria is economic sanctions.

And this economic sanctions, they have to hide behind the scenes, and it is impossible for the Royal Navy to block the Bulgarian coastline.

Then it is a good choice to drive up the price of raw materials, increase the tariffs on imported Bulgarian goods, and use their influence to compete with Bulgaria for the international market all over the world.

A complete commercial method can not only hit Bulgaria's economic development, but also take the opportunity to make a lot of money. It has to be said that John Bull's abacus is very strong.

Looking at the report sent by the think tank, Ferdinand immediately felt relieved. Isn't it just a trade war? He has seen it a lot.

Since the British dare not directly provoke a war, for Bulgaria, this risk factor is within the acceptable range.

There are a lot of people in the world who are dissatisfied with the British Empire. If Bulgaria can hit the arrogance of the British, it is estimated that many people will be happy to see it.

For example, there is a tacit understanding between Bulgaria and France. When Britain and France conflict, Bulgaria supports the French behind the scenes, and vice versa.

If you are in a hurry, the big deal is to export revolution. Although everyone is a colonial empire, there are differences between colonial empires.

No matter how much revolutionism is imported into the Bulgarian colonies, no matter how much weapons and ammunition they support, it will be useless.

You can't expect an indigenous tribe with only a thousand or eight hundred people to lead a war of independence. In many cases, the struggle between tribes is greater than the conflict between them and the Bulgarian garrison!

Unless the colonial troops can be made to rebel directly, it is obviously impossible for this to happen. Even if the officers have ambitions, the soldiers will not agree!

In contrast, the colonies of the British Empire are different. Just light a fire, and it is not so simple to extinguish it.

Just look at the populations of the colonies on both sides. All the colonies in Bulgaria combined have no more than 20 million indigenous populations, and they are still decreasing.

According to the current speed, within 20 years, the natives in the Bulgarian colony will become a minority. This problem has something to do with the policy of exile.

For example: Exile the ethnic groups in the Middle East to Africa, and the lack of acclimatization will reduce the number of employees by 30 to 40%. In order to survive, these migrants must have conflicts with the locals.

The wars between the two sides have spread from the Bulgarian colony to the British and French colonies, but they are all wars between them and the indigenous people, usually on a small scale, and have not attracted the attention of Britain and France.

In addition, due to the needs of domestic projects, the colonial government conscripted a large amount of labor, and a large number of young and old people were lost, and the population reduction was inevitable.

On the other hand, the British, although their oppression of the colonies was no lower than that of Bulgaria, their colonies were too fertile and their population base was too large.

In order to manage the place, they also trained a lot of vicious dogs in the local area. After the descendants of these people learned Western cultural knowledge, their loyalty gradually declined.

Once revolutionary ideas take root in these areas, these young people who are full of middle school ideas are the most vulnerable.

Coupled with the long-term oppression of the British, life and death are all in the mind of the British. The older generation can bear it, but the younger generation can hardly accept it.

At this time, they can't help but take the initiative to accept the revolutionary ideas, then become one of them, and finally detonate the conflict.

Regardless of whether it is successful or not, every time a revolution breaks out, the foundation of British rule will be weakened, and as time goes by, the colonial system will collapse sooner or later.

Historically, the Soviet Union and the United States have continuously exported revolutionary ideas in this way, and finally disintegrated the British and French colonial systems.

"The Propaganda Department should pay attention to the fact that overseas students from the British colonies can guide them on the road to revolution.

For example, Das Kapital, American Declaration of Independence, European Revolution, French Revolution, these books that encourage national independence are very suitable for them! ’ added Ferdinand

"Yes!" Chekov replied without hesitation.

If the great powers do not stab each other, are they still great powers?

It is worth mentioning that Bulgaria allows any books to be disseminated, but these books also have comments in them, and they are circulated on the market after being reviewed by the Propaganda Department.

This is the method Ferdinand came up with in combination with the Internet self-media in his previous life. Anyway, blocking it is worse than sparse it. As long as the power of interpretation is controlled, any revolutionary theory can be distorted.

Therefore, in Bulgaria, books of various doctrines can be sold publicly, and the dissemination of the above ideas must also follow the interpretation of the above experts.

If it is selling a book without annotations, it is also a banned book, and the relevant person has violated the crime of disturbing public order, and the maximum penalty is death within three years.

The revolutionary ideology that was regarded as a scourge in European countries was the same in Bulgaria. After the window paper was pierced, the veil of mystery was torn.

The people found that most of the things pursued above have been realized in Bulgaria, and the rest are lofty ideals. Those ideals that cannot be realized at all under the conditions of existing productivity have become real ideals. After that, everyone will not be interested.

But if these things are not suitable for Bulgaria, they may not be suitable for other countries! Especially those who want to get rid of the British colonial rule and establish an independent country.

Whether it succeeds in the end is not important, the important thing is to spread the revolutionary ideas, and there are people who help to take the blame.

Anyway, it is not the Bulgarian system that is exported, and whoever's theoretical thinking is ultimately to blame, and you can't shake it off.

It is also impossible for the British to find evidence that there was no revolution in Bulgaria, where books on revolutionary ideas can be sold on the street. Do other people have to be responsible for the impact of reading these books?

There is no need to pay attention to it, just recommend all these messy thoughts to these teenagers who yearn for national independence, and what flowers bloom and bear fruit in the end has nothing to do with Ferdinand.

As for whether anyone would read it, Ferdinand was not worried at all. These books are common books in Bulgaria, but they are banned books in the outside world.

Secondary two teenagers, the more they are not allowed to read, the more curious they will be, anyway, just read, they don't think that a book can lead them astray!

Khan, it seems to have run away!
