Bulgarian Empire

Vol 3 Chapter 27: , Relationship change

At the same time as the Russo-Japanese War broke out, the Ottoman Empire was also undergoing a great change. After the Balkan War, the Sudanese government was forced to carry out a top-down military and political reform under domestic and foreign pressure.

This reform includes religious reforms, educational reforms, military reforms, political system reforms, and economic reforms. In the short term, the reforms of the Ottoman Empire are successful.

He re-established a modernized Sixth Army, and has achieved a certain degree of development in the field of education and economy, but the worst national problem has been delayed in solving it!

Although the Ottoman Empire still has a population of more than 20 million, the number of its main ethnic group is too small. Now the number of authentic Turks is less than 7 million!

Obviously, the reform of the Sudanese government has not been able to take into account the interests of other nationalities in the country, let alone resolve the national contradictions in the country. National integration is a dream!

At the beginning of 19o6, the Sudanese government has initially completed internal reforms, and the overall national strength has increased. Especially in the military, the Sudanese government learned the lessons of the defeat in the Balkans, and spent a lot of money to purchase advanced weapons from the Germans to train the new Sixth Army.

But before this reform, the Turks, Arabs, and Kurds, the main ethnic groups of the Ottoman Empire in the economic field, had fallen behind.

The main domestic commercial activities are occupied by Greeks and Jews. This cannot be changed by a single policy!

However, after the reform, many regulations of the Ottoman Empire must encourage Turks to develop industrial and commercial regulations, but this article does not apply to other ethnic groups. This makes the Greeks and Jews very dissatisfied!

Oh, that's all that Ferdinand learned. He didn't have time to read more detailed reports!

In his opinion, the reform of the Ottoman Empire is undoubtedly a step forward on the road to suicide!

If a country where the dominant ethnic group is not dominant, if the various ethnic groups in the country cannot be integrated, then sooner or later it will be split!

"Your Majesty, this is information from the Ottoman Empire. The Sudanese government seems unwilling to be reconciled to the failure of the last war, and is about to move again" Fhu handed a piece of information.

Ferdinand smiled slightly, apparently he did not take the Ottoman Empire into consideration. After losing the Balkans, the industrial strength of the Ottoman Empire was cut by half!

In terms of overall national strength, Bulgaria is already more than twice that of the Ottoman Empire at this time; in terms of industry, the gap has reached more than five times!

In terms of population, the Ottoman Empire is more than 20 million, and Bulgaria's current population is more than 15 million. You can also add more than 2 million Russian immigrants. The gap between the two is not big.

From the perspective of mobilization, the Ottoman Empire has been hard pressed. At least the ethnic minorities in the country who are fighting for independence can not be mobilized!

On the contrary, it is not as good as Bulgaria in this respect. Perhaps many immigrants do not have deep feelings for this country, but they are still very enthusiastic about military awards!

The fairness and fairness of the Bulgarian army’s rewards for military merit is something that the Ottoman Empire absolutely cannot achieve. At least their officers can only be Turks. As for justice, it is nonsense!

"Keep staring, leave them alone, I'm going to see what the Turks can do!" Ferdinand said confidently

This is not that Ferdinand has swelled. Looking around, the Greeks are still trying to pay off their debts, the Kingdom of Montenegro is working hard to farm, Romania is half-struck by tariffs, and apart from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he really hasn't looked at him!

Even in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the military power gap between the two sides is not too great. At least before the Austro-Hungarian Empire can not unify the language, their military advantage over Bulgaria is very limited!

...

"Your Majesty, our ambassador to Russia just got news that the Tsarist government deliberately abandoned the Marmara Sea and handed over Constantinople and the Dardanelles to us!" Foreign Minister Metjeev said excitedly

Looking at the Minister of Foreign Affairs who was stunned by the stuffed pie, Ferdinand said lightly: "Things are not that simple. The Russian Black Sea Fleet has been defeated for so long, and they have not seen them give up. I am afraid it is also conditional to give up suddenly!

At least the Russians have not given up the tariffs on these two straits, even though they have now pledged to the French! "

Ferdinand unscrupulously guessed that the Russians are now out of money on the eighth floor and plan to cut expenses. After all, the reconstruction of Constantinople is also a big expense!

Now that the Black Sea Fleet is gone, it is impossible to rebuild such a fleet even if the Russian Empire does not have more than ten years of effort!

However, the political and religious significance of Constantinople is too great, no matter who it is in the hands, it has to invest a lot of money in reconstruction!

For the Russian government, now that the Black Sea Fleet is gone, the military significance of Constantinople is no longer guaranteed.

Instead of continuously investing financial resources into this gold swallowing beast and seeing no return in the short term, it is better to throw it to Bulgaria first. After the Russian navy is rebuilt, they can still come back anyway!

It is a pity that even if he guessed the purpose of the Russians, Ferdinand had to happily accept it. After all, it indicates that the relationship between Russia and Russia has begun to undergo a qualitative change!

Obviously, the Czarist government also realized that with the decline of the Russian Empire, it has been unable to completely suppress the rising Bulgaria, and it is beginning to implement a new foreign policy!

The relationship between the two sides from the elder brother and the younger brother is beginning to transform into a normal alliance relationship. Of course, this still needs a long-term process for the two sides to adapt to this new diplomatic relationship.

...

The change in diplomatic relations is still a matter of the future. Ferdinand knew that it was time to solve the problem of Russian immigration. After all, the Bulgarian government set a high threshold for naturalization in order to restrict.

The immigrants from Russia are basically illiterate. The best performers have already completed the assessment and joined the big Bulgarian family!

But for most people, it takes too long to complete these requirements! Of course, those who have made great contributions to this country can be an exception, but unfortunately there are even fewer people who satisfy this point!

But now Ferdinand decided to relax the restrictions once, first swallow the human resources. Otherwise, the early immigrants felt that the money was almost saved, and they ran back to Russia, so would Ferdinand not be busy?

Hard work to give them literacy education, and brainwashing them for so many years, even if only a part of the people are lost, it is a great loss for Ferdinand!

"Finally, there are more than two million Russian immigrants in the country, what do you plan to do?" Ferdinand asked at the cabinet meeting

After thinking about it, Prime Minister Constantine said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, this matter is very troublesome! Most of these Russian immigrants are mainly young and strong, and only a few people are dragging their families.

Moreover, their overall quality is low, and most of the jobs they are engaged in are heavy physical labor. Many people still have no way of guaranteeing their future lives, and there are many bachelors!

Under the condition that they have not obtained Bulgarian citizenship, the government can still pretend to be invisible. Once they are granted citizenship, our government will have to find a way to solve their life problems and personal problems! "

Yes, these problems are also problems that have plagued the Bulgarian government for a long time. In fact, the male to female ratio in the Balkans is fairly normal.

Due to the war, there are even more women than men in some places! But after counting Russian immigration, this situation was changed.

For enterprises, the introduction of ordinary labor is certainly good for physical strength. In this respect, young men must be more dominant. Therefore, most immigrants are mainly young men!

As for the future life of immigrants, Ferdinand really doesn't worry much about this. The reason is simple. The average life expectancy of this era is very low, and there is no aging population!

Bulgaria's current life expectancy is just over 50 years old. This is the premise that Ferdinand strictly controls food safety and restricts capitalists from unscrupulously squeezing employees!

Basically, ordinary people have been working for life all their lives. Those who can live to their 70s and 80s are basically those with good family conditions, and there is no need for the government to consider the issue of pensions!

After thinking about it, Ferdinand suggested: "Or, let them find a solution by themselves! The government can discuss with companies and give them holidays in batches so that they can return to Russia to marry a wife!

Well, we can also bear part of the travel expenses for them, and when they return, the returning merchant ship can pick them up on the way! "

Oh, Ferdinand’s idea is a bit damaged. Now the situation in Russia is turbulent and it is difficult for them to find a job after they go back. Don’t be afraid they will run away!

As for whether it will be affected by Russian revolutionary thought, Ferdinand said that it doesn't matter. The Russian Revolutionary Party is hard to protect by itself. UU reading www.uukanshu.com does not have the consciousness to spread revolutionary thought to the world!

What's more, their thinking is also inadequate in Bulgaria. Ferdinand's current national policy is "contributions are consistent with benefits, and rights and obligations are equal."

At the same time, it also opposes absolute egalitarianism and clearly stated that absolute egalitarianism only exists in theory. As long as the material basis has not been reached and the needs of everyone can be met, the so-called egalitarianism is nonsense!

Many people have accepted this idea after long-term brainwashing education. The specific manifestation is that they work more and earn more. In addition to their salary, most people still have overtime pay!

The most important thing is that the capitalists have been affected by the general environment and value fame! Once Bulgaria's reputation is bad now, it is difficult to move.

Specifically, the gates of upper-class society will confine you, and the government-controlled transportation will automatically push you back, and everyone will reject you together during business cooperation!

These are **** lessons learned by countless people trying the law!

Therefore, under this background, no matter what the capitalists think in their hearts, they still retain a human touch in actual actions. At least when they squeeze employees, they dare not be so dark!

These are not available in Russian society, so there is no popular ideology in Russia, and there is no shadow in Bulgaria. Simply put, everyone can live a good life, and the desire for revolution is not strong!

After thinking about it, Constantine agreed with Ferdinand's opinion. At the moment when the relations between Bulgaria and Russia are changing, properly handling Russian immigration is also the top priority of the Bulgarian government!

"Okay, Your Majesty!" Constantine replied
