Bulgarian Empire

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements!? How to govern the Caucasus region, this is embarrassing for little Ferdinand. Although he has been in contact with political affairs for a long time, it is the first time that he has to formulate a practical governance plan.

The more information he saw, the more difficult he felt. Economics, politics, and military affairs must all be taken into account, which seems to be an unsolvable problem.

But he didn't think that Ferdinand would play such a big joke with him. Since this question came up, there must be a solution. Whether he can find the best answer can only depend on himself.

Politically speaking, national integration is the most important national policy of Bulgaria, not one of them.

Although the Caucasus region is vast and sparsely populated, it cannot hold back the large number of ethnic groups! There are more than one hundred ethnic groups, large and small, which is simply an encyclopedia of Eurasian ethnic groups.

To integrate them all, this is the first trouble.

The biggest advantage is that the Russians have been doing local assimilation work for 180 years.

Secondly, the factors of the war have caused serious losses of local young and strong labor force, and the local people will not be too resistant to joining Bulgaria.

Little Ferdinand then wrote two words on the paper - Marriage!

The Bulgarian government is already doing this. Whether it relocates the local population or relocates to other areas, it has the intention of encouraging them to marry.

In terms of economy, Ferdinand directly chose to give up and wrote down on paper - mining.

There is no way to do this. Limited by the local natural conditions, except for the exploitation of some precious mineral resources, other industries cannot develop.

After a pause, Little Ferdinand added two more words—road construction.

It is very in line with Ferdinand's style. Basically, every time Bulgaria occupies an area, the first thing to do is to build roads.

Little Ferdinand was naturally influenced by him, and he attached great importance to traffic issues.

Militarily, this area borders the Russian Empire, and there is no military threat in the short term.

But this does not mean that defense work is not important.

At the same time, because of the relationship between Bulgaria and Russia, the local defense work has become very complicated. That is, it cannot stimulate the Russians, and it is necessary to establish solid defense fortifications.

Considering this special situation, Ferdinand Jr. wrote down on paper—a small number of garrisons, strengthening transportation construction, and ensuring that the troops in the rear can be reinforced at any time.

That's it!

A policy plan of less than fifty words, if it is handed in, little Ferdinand will definitely be sprayed as worthless.

So the governance plan does not lie in formulation, but in implementation!

The rhetorical plans for governing the country are used by politicians to fool the people and mix votes.

If you really do it, you will find that the bull's head is wrong, which will be very fatal!

How to ensure that this set of plans can be effectively implemented is the most troublesome question for little Ferdinand, and it is also the real question Ferdinand posed this time.

...

"Your Majesty, the Dutch government has asked us for help again!" Megieff said calmly

"Oh, have the Dutch given up on the British this time? Or are they still waiting for the British winter offensive?" Ferdinand asked with concern

"This is not certain, but the Dutch people probably won't let them wait any longer. They have suffered heavy losses after working with the British twice.

Many people think that if the Kingdom of the Netherlands does not cooperate with the British to suppress the rebellion alone, the situation will be better than it is now!

Now the Dutch government is in a hurry. They have spent 80 million pounds to suppress the rebellion, which is their fiscal revenue for more than three years.

They proposed that if we can help them suppress this rebellion, half of Kalimantan (Borneo) can be transferred to us. It seems that they do not intend to be neighbors with the British! "Megeve thought for a while and said

"Half of Kalimantan, why did the Dutch government suddenly become generous this time?

I thought they would use the Maluku Islands to make up the numbers, or the Southwest Islands, Southeast Islands to deal with it! " Ferdinand asked suspiciously.

"His Majesty,

The economic value of the Maluku Islands is more than five times that of Kalimantan Island. How can the Dutch be willing? And the Southwest Islands and Southeast Islands have been taken by the British!

It's the reward for helping them put down the rebellion this time, and you know the result. The Dutch government now believes that the British intend to annex their Indian colony, so they intend to introduce us to Borneo to check and balance the British. ’ explained Megeve

Ferdinand just felt that a group of mud horses ran past in his heart. The economic value of the Maluku Islands was more than five times that of Borneo, so it was ten times that of half of Borneo.

Sure enough, in different eras, the value of these resources is also different.

As a spice island, the Maluku Islands are naturally of extraordinary value. Even under the impact of the current industrial flavors, spices still occupy a very important position in the world.

Although Borneo is the third largest island in the world, except for its relatively rich resources, it is not well developed. Even in the 1990s, the local population only exceeded 9 million.

The population of this era was only four to five million, and half of it was divided by the British, and the area that fell into the hands of the Dutch actually became a piece of chicken ribs.

Of course, this refers to the economic value, mainly the gold mines that have been discovered. After so many years, almost all of them have been mined, and the rest are minerals that are difficult to mine.

In terms of strategic value, Borneo's location in the center of Southeast Asia is very important.

This was also the reason why Ferdinand was surprised, but he quickly realized that the higher the strategic value, the hotter it would be for the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

The British have already stretched their hands in, the Japanese are also eyeing this place, and the fallen Kingdom of the Netherlands has no power to defend it.

"That is to say, once we get half of Borneo, we will be neighbors with the British, and at the same time be wary of the Japanese ambitions, right?" Ferdinand asked with concern

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Megeve thought for a while and said.

"Tell the Dutch that Bulgaria has no interest in Borneo. We only need a few sparsely populated islands and a military port!" Ferdinand said cautiously.

The bait is good, but it is poisonous!

Bulgaria does not have the energy to fight for hegemony in the Nanyang region now. It is very unwise to occupy the central area of ​​Nanyang at this time.

Instead of this, it is better to occupy a few sparsely populated islands and control strategic points.

Perhaps in the long run, the strategic value of Borneo occupies a very important part of Bulgaria's world strategy.

But now, it is just a pure investment project, and it is still an investment of ten or twenty years without any economic return.

"Yes, Your Majesty! But how should we deal with the Dutch government's request for help this time?" Megeve asked hesitantly

"It's inconvenient for us to take action directly and recruit a mercenary army to help the Dutch, but on the bright side, this army cannot have anything to do with us!" Ferdinand thought for a while and said

It wasn't that Ferdinand was timid, but that in the era when nationalism broke out, it was easy to form a death feud with the locals by intervening without authorization.

With a population of over 100 million in the Nanyang region, independence is a matter of time, and Bulgaria does not need to bear this notoriety.

In order not to appear in the history books in the future, on a certain day in a certain year and a certain month, Emperor Ferdinand ordered the Bulgarian army to help the Kingdom of the Netherlands, suppressed the Indonesian national uprising, and brutally massacred XX~XX innocent people.

If it was done by mercenaries, it has nothing to do with Bulgaria at all, even if it kills a river of blood, it will be the fault of the Dutch.

Nominally, this army was recruited in the name of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. This war fund was also the money that the Kingdom of the Netherlands sold the islands in the Nanyang region.

Bulgaria apparently did nothing but spend money on some sparsely populated islands.

In this case, ordinary people have no idea of ​​Bulgaria's role in it. Even if they are insiders, there is no evidence to prove that the Bulgarian government was directly involved in this operation, and this dark history naturally does not exist.

After all, European countries have a long history of using mercenaries. There were a large number of mercenaries in World War I. There was nothing wrong with the Dutch using mercenaries.

In essence, if it were not for the fear of bad political influence, it is estimated that the Dutch would have recruited mercenaries in the German region long ago.

In Ferdinand's view, even if the Dutch recruited mercenaries in the German region at this time, the French would not do anything to them, at most they would verbally condemn them.

However, in this era, the influence of the French on the European continent was too great, and even the British had a little less right to speak on the European continent than them.

"Your Majesty, the appearance of a few Bulgarian military observers is not a problem, is it?" Chief of Staff Christopher asked with concern.

"Of course, not only members of the Bulgarian military observer group can appear, but members of other countries' military observer groups can also appear.

As long as there are no active-duty officers and soldiers in Bulgaria among the members of this mercenary army, it will be fine.

We can also make them intentionally complicated, such as adding some retired officers and soldiers from Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia, Sweden and other countries.

The specific number of people, weapons and equipment, and the formation of troops have been determined by your staff department. This time, it will be an actual combat training in the rainforest area! "Ferdinand thought for a while and said

To help the Dutch quell the chaos, Ferdinand is not Mr. Churchill, so there is no need to consider so many political influences, and there is no need to mobilize all soldiers to attack from all directions.

The Indonesian region is originally composed of a large group of islands, and it is entirely possible to take advantage of the weakness of the rebels without a navy, and attack one island after another.

Although the speed is a bit slower, we can concentrate superior forces and ensure victory!

If the British had fought so steadily from the beginning, the rebels on any island in Southeast Asia would not be their single enemy, and the rebellion would have been suppressed by them long ago.
