Bulgarian Empire

In a state of calmness, the Kingdom of Bulgaria was established on May 6, 1898. &1t;/p>

To be honest, Ferdinand really can't tell the difference between the current kingdom and the former Grand Duchy. Bulgaria is still the original Bulgaria, but everyone is still keen on it! &1t;/p>

After the establishment of the Kingdom of Bulgaria, Ferdinand also officially became a "king". Of course, his life was still as usual. There was no overhaul of the palace as people imagined, and no changes to the regulations. It does not seem to be popular in the Western world. &1t;/p>

……&Amp;1t;/p>

"Your Majesty, the British are lobbying European countries to give up support for the Boers. How do we respond?" At the cabinet meeting, Foreign Secretary Metjeev said anxiously.&1t;/p>

Ferdinand knew that the one who should come would still come, but he didn't expect that so soon, John Bull would have to stand up again in various countries. &1t;/p>

Obviously this time, the British did not target the big countries. Everyone knew that no matter which one of Germany, France, Austria, Russia, they can withstand their pressure, but the next small countries will not do. &1t;/p>

Portugal is on the brunt. Without the threat of the Spaniards, the Portuguese can stand up again. &1t;/p>

Due to the contradiction between the Allied Powers and the Allied Powers, Ferdinand did not believe that European countries could still unite to put pressure on the Portuguese, otherwise the "Spanish-American War" would not explode. &1t;/p>

Even if the British and Americans join forces, they are now unable to counter the unanimous decision of the European Big Six. &1t;/p>

Now Bulgaria is also forced to stand in line, Ferdinand is repulsive in his heart, this stand in line will determine the future direction of Bulgaria's diplomacy. &1t;/p>

Not only the British are watching, but the Allies and the Allies are also watching. If they continue to be consistent with the Russians, there is no doubt that the day when Bulgaria joins the Allies will not be far away. &1t;/p>

Then the friendly relationship between Bulgaria and the Three-Power Alliance is about to come to an end. After all, the strength of Bulgaria's Sixth Army has surpassed that of Italy, which is enough to make Germany and Austria jealous. &1t;/p>

After thinking about it, Ferdinand did not answer directly, but asked: "What do you think?"&1t;/p>

Ferdinand’s keen decision-making for a long time, and now everyone is waiting for him to make a decision in every major event of the Bulgarian government. This is a good thing and a bad thing! &1t;/p>

The advantage is that Ferdinand can control the direction of Bulgaria at any time. But with the passage of time, the advantages of Ferdinand's foresight are slowly disappearing, and at some point in the future, even wrong decisions will be made based on the influence of later generations. &1t;/p>

Therefore, Ferdinand is very careful, and habitually asks the opinion of the cabinet first. After all, they are all elites of the era, without the advantage of prophet, Ferdinand's ability is really not necessarily better than them. &1t;/p>

Constantine said cautiously: "The options left to us are now very small. We have relied on the Russians in diplomacy for a long time, and we have already carved the mark of the Russians.&1t;/p>

If we continue to follow in the footsteps of the Russians now, we are likely to encounter hostility and even suppression from the British and the Three-Power Alliance in the future, and of course the relations with France and Russia will be further strengthened! &1t;/p>

On the contrary, if we have our own opinions this time, it will affect the relations between Bulgaria and Russia and cast a shadow on Bulgaria's current economic construction! &1t;/p>

However, our diplomatic relations with Britain, Germany, and Austria-Hungary will develop further, which can be regarded as pros and cons. &1t;/p>

The last option is to fight with the mud and not stand in line. Presumably with Bulgaria's current strength, everyone will not force us too much. ”&Amp;1t;/p>

As soon as Constantine finished speaking, Ferdinand’s heart sank. This seems to be the choice of the Bulgarian government in history, but the situation in the Balkans is now very different. &1t;/p>

In history, Bulgaria had gained some benefits at the beginning, but in the later period, the international situation had a sudden change. The Bulgarian government just played bouncing and became an abandoned child. &1t;/p>

Of course, Bulgaria’s foreign policy failed in parallel time and space history, and it may not still fail on this plane. At least the current strength of Bulgaria is much stronger than in history, while the neighboring countries are much weaker. One increase and one decrease can change many things! &1t;/p>

When Ferdinand began to hesitate, Chekov spoke: "I think that mine should stand alone now. The Russian imprint on the Kingdom of Bulgaria is too strong now that it can’t be eliminated for a while!&1t; /p>

Even now we have our own position, but in fact we still have to be consistent with the Russians, and now we cannot fall to the British anyway! ”&Amp;1t;/p>

Chekov’s words made Ferdinand fresh. It’s true that Bulgaria is absolutely not allowed to jump backwards at this time. It will definitely be unlucky to be a second or fifth boy! &1t;/p>

Then it can only be consistent with the Russians in its position. As for other details, the St. Peter's government will probably not care. &1t;/p>

If Bulgaria first clarifies its position, it will be interpreted in two ways internationally. Either they are the vanguard of the Russians, or the relations between Russia and Russia are not as perfect as outsiders imagine. &1t;/p>

International diplomacy is not accomplished at a leap. It is enough to give a hint of meaning. Now even if Ferdinand dared to jump back to the Allies, others would not dare to accept it! &1t;/p>

Ferdinand thought for a while and said: "Well, the current international situation is so complicated that we cannot tolerate the slightest mistake. There is no one of the five major powers in Europe that we can afford!&1t;/p>

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs first clarified the position of the Russians. Then we will do some artistic processing, which is our position this time, but we should try our best to keep pace with the Russians, let the outside world guess! ”&Amp;1t;/p>

In the end, Ferdinand took the most conservative approach and hit a side ball. At this time Bulgaria still cannot do without the support of the Russians. Even if you want to make small moves, you have to deal with the domestic first. &1t;/p>

……&Amp;1t;/p>

After solving the diplomatic problem, Ferdinand once again set his sights on immigration, and asked with concern: "How is the immigration work?"&1t;/p>

Immigration is the most important job of the Bulgarian government, and it is also the most troublesome job. &1t;/p>

As long as you think of the eating, drinking, sleeping, and job placement involving millions of people, the cabinet will have nothing to worry about! &1t;/p>

Constantine said with a headache: "So far, domestic military immigrants have been properly settled, and they have been resettled in batches to various gathering points according to the original plan.&1t;/p>

In addition, the number of Bulgarians who have migrated back from the Ottoman Empire has passed 800,000, and is still increasing by an average of 5,000 people every day. It is estimated that by 19oo, the immigration work will be completed. &1t;/p>

However, the job placement problem is a bit troublesome. Now only 70% of the young and strong labor force has been placed. The government is about to launch a nationwide transportation construction plan, which is expected to absorb another 500,000 people. Together with its industrial and commercial development, it can barely solve the employment problem of most people! &1t;/p>

There is also the 500,000 Turks that we migrated to the Ottoman Empire, which is now a hot potato, and the Ottoman government has no intention of taking over. &1t;/p>

In addition to the 200,000 people who were absorbed by the Ottoman nobles as coolies, in order not to cause unnecessary changes, we helped to raise the others, so we had to slow down the migration of the Turks in the territory. ”&Amp;1t;/p>

This is easy to handle the domestic migration of people, as long as the land and houses are divided. Everyone has a family background, and you can borrow money if you don't. The main business is farming, and the government doesn't need to worry about it. &1t;/p>

But those who came from the Ottoman Empire were in trouble. For the sake of long-term stability, immigrants returning from the same place must not be settled in the same place. Otherwise, there are only 800,000 immigrants now, and the government can squeeze them all into Albania to farm. &1t;/p>

As for the Turks, under Bulgarian rule, no less than two million! You say no? Isn't it possible that the officials of the Immigration Department are still not involved in the crime? &1t;/p>

Anyone who has been transformed into Iraq must be a Turk. This is a rule formulated by Ferdinand. Otherwise, what should we do if there will be religious conflicts in the future? &1t;/p>

Of course, Ferdinand still had morals, instead of throwing the Turks to the opposite Asia Minor peninsula together, but scattered over the extensive territory of the Ottoman Empire. &1t;/p>

Well, it's mainly for fear of trouble. In case it causes a big chaos and affects the exchange of immigration, Ferdinand is too late to cry. &1t;/p>

Ferdinand thought for a while and said: "We can just ignore the placement of the Turks. It's a big deal to raise them for two or three years. Then we will leave the Ottoman government with a headache!&1t;/p>

Anyway, if we reserve old grain, we also need to dispose of it. If there is not enough, we will buy cheap grain from Romania. At this moment, Carol I is still worried about how to sell the grain? &1t;/p>

At present, the focus is still domestic, and the settlement must be done as soon as possible. If it doesn't work, they will be resettled to the countryside to encourage them to cultivate intensively. The big deal is that we will collect less rent, and the family will be able to support themselves by planting 35 acres of land! ”&Amp;1t;/p>

Okay, Ferdinand is coming up with bad ideas again. This is to engage in refined agriculture according to Eastern standards, and considering the productivity of the 19th century, if it is to grow potatoes, it is indeed enough. &1t;/p>

It is estimated that the area of ​​arable land in Bulgaria will be able to increase substantially by then. After all, the requirements are low, so more land can be cultivated? &1t;/p>

After all, the Balkans has always been sparsely populated, and the use of land is also very limited. It is feasible to reclaim some mountainous areas! &1t;/p>

Of course, this is also a temporary solution rather than a permanent cure. According to Ferdinand, Bulgaria will surely give birth to many poor people in mountain villages, but this is a problem for the future. &1t;/p>

There are also examples of solutions. In rural areas, as long as the world is peaceful, the population will skyrocket. &1t;/p>

At that time, for the sake of livelihood, guiding people to work in cities is the best choice. As long as the Bulgarian industry develops, this will not be a problem. &1t;/p>

Although it was a bad idea, it was fully recognized by the Bulgarian cabinet. Now, as long as there is a solution to short-term problems, it is a good solution. &1t;/p>

After all, industrial exhibitions can't get up in a day. UU reading www. uukanshu.com As for more than ten years later, if Bulgaria can't solve this problem, then Ferdinand will be a traverser. &1t;/p>

And the issue of "poverty", you go and tell the people that they will definitely sneer and can eat enough. What is there to be afraid of about "poverty"? When did you see them getting rich? &1t;/p>

……&Amp;1t;/p>

Inspired by Ferdinand, the Bulgarian government immediately took action and exploded a vigorous land reclamation movement in the country. &1t;/p>

Of course, this movement came fast and went faster, and after only two or three years, it was stopped by Ferdinand. &1t;/p>

There is no shortage of food in Bulgaria now, mainly for resettling immigrants. Why is it reclaiming so many mountains? &1t;/p>

Ferdinand also pays attention to environmental protection, but now he has no conditions. Within the scope of his ability, he is still trying to minimize the damage to the natural environment! &1t;/p>

Although the Balkan region is dominated by mountains and hills, and the area of ​​plains is small, it depends on who you compare! &1t;/p>

In Eastern Europe, a region full of plains, it is indeed a mountain country. If you compare it outside, the plains in the Constantinople region controlled by Bulgaria are the area of ​​three Chengdu plains. &1t;/p>

If you add several other small plains, such as the coastal plains of Albania and the coastal areas of the Aegean Sea, they are all areas with good natural conditions and abundant water resources, suitable for agriculture. &1t;/p>

For a long time to come, Bulgaria will still be a food exporter! &1t;/p>
