Bulgarian Empire

In Ferdinand's view, it was a good deal for the post-war government to save the market. Most of these companies are high-quality industries, but they were hit hard by the war. As long as they have a certain amount of liquidity, they can resume normal operations.

Even excess production capacity ceased to exist after the war. After the end of the World War, the population of Bulgaria will inevitably skyrocket. Refugees + population in the newly added territory + a large family of mercenaries + the original domestic population \u003e 4 million. If Bulgaria’s expanded sphere of influence is counted, it will eventually form a A big market with a population of 50 to 60 million!

Well, this "big market" is also relatively speaking, and it is simply incomparable with Britain, France and Russia. Ferdinand in the colonial market has no expectations, just look at the map.

There are basically few people in Bulgaria's vast colony now. Don't expect how strong purchasing power those nomads can have!

In Ferdinand's view, it is better to create a market if there is no market. With the current land area, resources, and population of Bulgaria, it is not a problem to increase the population by three to five times, so the family planning policy can still continue. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

As the population increases, so does the market. At the same time, the new population will also consume a lot of wealth of the people and enhance their fighting spirit!

...

After taking stock of what he had already obtained, Ferdinand had to lament that war is the best way to get rich.

Without this world war, if Bulgaria was allowed to develop slowly, even if it was planted for another hundred or eighty years, it might not be able to have the current family fortune.

In terms of industrial technology, after the birth of this world war, it can be said that Bulgaria has roughly caught up with Britain, France and other countries.

The biggest harvest is still the territory. These new lands have laid the foundation for Bulgaria's future development. The only flaw is that there are over 80% of the land in the desert!

Plant trees and turn the desert into an oasis? This is a good idea, at least until the economic crisis, it can be used. It is better than learning from Roosevelt's road repair, "repair and demolition, demolition and repair", relying on waste to increase jobs! \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Of course, it's still too early, Ferdinand is busy teaching his son at the moment! He is busy training little Ferdinand to handle government affairs. Simply put, he throws all these issues to little Ferdinand and asks him to come up with a policy plan!

Not only the Crown Prince Ferdinand Jr., but he also did not let go of the other little fellows, each of whom had political assignments of different difficulty.

It's definitely not that he's lazy, it's all about cultivating the children's ability to govern, and besides the answers given by these little guys, he dare not use them!

For example: How should Iraq be governed after the war? How to deal with ethnic relations?

The answer given by Ferdinand Jr. is: military control + immigration! The locals send it to Iran next door, or just find a piece of land and throw it away...

The answer Peter gave was: go to a concentration camp and send all disobedient people to plant trees! \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

The answer given by Caesar is: immigration + chug chug

...

There is no doubt that the princes of Bulgaria were all trained as hawks by Ferdinand. Of course, in this period, it is difficult to cultivate doves!

And it's nationwide, the younger you are, the more radical you are! These are all sequelae caused by the World War. If we want to reverse this situation, we can only wait for the end of the World War and the weakening of militant thoughts among the people.

This is also something that can’t be helped. Not only Bulgaria, but the younger generation of the major warring countries around the world are now the main fighters. The reason is simple - he was fooled by public opinion propaganda!

After the war is over, many people calm down, and then they will start to reflect on the war, and the government will relax the control of public opinion, and this situation will change, but it is easy to go to the other extreme-fear of war! \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

therefore,

After the war, national ideological education will be put on the agenda again, and Ferdinand will also correct the thinking of a few little guys, especially Caesar's "chug chug". Can this be said?

Even if you want to do it, you have to do it a little bit, and you must first find a scapegoat. It would be even more perfect to be able to kill someone with a knife!

...

During the war, the efficiency of the governments of various countries was very high. In more than half a month, the coalition forces of Vallicott successfully joined forces in the northern Italian city of Trento.

Of course, this is also due to the active cooperation of the Italians, who used their railway network for transportation to complete the meeting in such a short time.

The days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were difficult, but with the existence of the Alps, it was not so easy for the coalition forces to attack Austria. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Historically, the Italians have tried their best to suck their milk, but they still failed.

However, the border between Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire is so long, there are always weak points. For example, the defense of the Austrian army in Slovenia is not as strong as that of Austria!

If the Slovenian region is conquered, the Austro-Hungarian navy will be finished. You must know that once the Bulgarian army enters the Yugoslav ethnic region, the number of leading parties will definitely be indispensable!

The Yugoslav National Union Congress was not opened in vain. Many resistance organizations have received weapons and ammunition supported by Bulgaria, and are now waiting for an opportunity.

In fact, when the Allied forces arrived at the Slovenian border, the troubles of the Austro-Hungarian Empire had already begun, and many local militias chose to be neutral!

They are still loyal to the Habsburg family, but they only swear allegiance to the old emperor, and they don't have much affection for the newly succeeded Ferdinand II. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

At the same time, many of them also have a good opinion of Bulgaria, especially after Ferdinand promised to let them decide their own future, they won the support of the vast majority of people. If so, why go to war?

Valikot has not yet determined the direction of attack. After all, attacking Austria will have a greater impact, while attacking Slovenia is less difficult. At least there is no need to worry about falling into the ocean of people's war.

Of course, in the wars that broke out in European countries, there is almost no such thing as a vast ocean of people's wars, because their people are too few and their enemies are too many!

At Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, Ferdinand II was looking at the battle report with a headache. There was no bad news, nor good news. Almost out of breath.

There is no way, Bulgaria has already done its best, and the long border between the two sides is full of blood. Although the Russians did not attack in an all-round way, it is still indispensable to organize 200,000 to 300,000 troops to play a "friendly match" with them every now and then. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Ferdinand II asked with a headache: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the Allied Powers have opened up a new front in Italy and directly threatened Austria. What is the plan of the General Staff?"

Due to Ferdinand's butterfly effect, the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was no longer an idiot like Karl, and Conrad's position as chief of the general staff was naturally preserved.

Conrad thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the current situation is very unfavorable to us, and even some troops have begun to lose their morale.

The staff is communicating with the Germans, hoping to exchange 20 divisions with them. We send troops to the Western Front, and they send troops to deal with the Allied forces in Italy! "

Conrad's worry is very necessary. Since the current war situation is very unfavorable to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the ethnic minorities in the country have begun to become unstable.

Maybe they are still loyal to the Austro-Hungarian Empire now, but what about the future? People always tend to benefit, who knows if they can always be reliable? \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Both Bulgaria and Russia are trying to win over the Slavic peoples of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Due to geopolitics, the Russians are trying to win over the West Slavic peoples, and Bulgaria is trying to win over the South Slavic peoples.

Once the situation changes, it is not impossible for these troops to defect! Some people may be loyal, but human nature cannot stand the test, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire cannot take risks now!

Swapping troops with the Germans, the risk is much smaller. These Slavic troops may be bought when the Bulgarians and Russians are at war, but it is difficult for Britain and France to buy them on the Western Front. It's much bigger!

Ferdinand II was very worried and said: "Will the Germans agree? Don't forget that the combat effectiveness of our army is not as good as the German army?

And it is inconvenient to command. With this messy language, it is difficult for us to command, and it is even more difficult for the Germans to command! "\u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Conrad said firmly: "Yes! Unless the Germans want to see us defeated, they will definitely give us a hand!

From a military point of view, we are already at a disadvantage on the southern front. Once the Italian front is added, we don't want to fight at all, and the consumption can kill us!

If we withdraw from this war, within three months at most, the Germans will have one enemy and four. No matter how powerful their army is, they will not be able to face an enemy several times their size! "

Ferdinand II nodded, and then asked cautiously: "Mr. Conrad, with your professional ability, purely from the military, what are the chances of us winning this war? It's just us, no Including the Germans!"

Conrad thought for a while and said: "If we are alone, we will not pass the third floor, and the Germans' chances of winning are less than half!" \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Ferdinand II thought for a while and said, "Well, politically, we've actually lost the war!

Due to the needs of the war, we now have to depend on the Germans, and even if this war ends, we have to become a vassal state of the Germans!

If we have no way to win, do you think it is necessary for us to continue this war? It's not worth our lives to make wedding dresses for Germans! "

Conrad's face changed drastically. He really didn't expect that the emperor's attitude had wavered, but the current Austro-Hungarian Empire really didn't need to carry on the war to the end!

However, he still warned: "Your Majesty, this problem may be difficult to solve. The Italians are a lesson from the past!"

Ferdinand II nodded and said: "Indeed, the Italians were fooled by the British. John Bull's promises are as unreliable as their integrity!" \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Conrad said with some hesitation: "If conditions permit, it is not impossible for us to withdraw from this war!"

Ferdinand II smiled wryly and said: "You have such a good idea, the conditions offered by the Allied Powers are not good at all, it can even be said to be very harsh!

The Russians want Austrian Poland and Galicia, Bulgaria wants most of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belgrade and most of Transinia. "

Conrad's face changed drastically, which meant that the decades of painstaking efforts of the Austro-Hungarian Empire would be destroyed, and all the newly occupied lands would be abandoned.

Ferdinand II seemed to see his nervousness, and said again: "This is not bad. The Russians only have a big appetite before the end of the Eastern Front. In addition to these requirements, they also have other requirements for Czechoslovakia, Hungary, etc. The region is interested, it is simply to swallow the Austro-Hungarian Empire! \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

Do you understand? Even if we withdraw from the war now, we must win the battle on the southern front, otherwise the Austro-Hungarian Empire will lose a layer of skin if it is not dead this time! "

In fact, it is not impossible for the Austro-Hungarian Empire to cede land. For example, the Transnian Plateau requested by Bulgaria, not to mention half, is all.

After all, this only weakened the Kingdom of Hungary, which was a good thing for the central government of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but it was not good for other regions, and they could not afford such a big loss.

Conrad replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, I cannot answer this question for you, I am afraid that the battle on the southern front will not achieve the result you want!

According to the analysis of the actual situation on the battlefield, we judge that the Bulgarians have not given their all, and because the Allied Powers have opened up a new front on the Italian border, the last reserve team in the country has also been held back.

If we can't make it to the decisive battle, the problem in the later period will be even bigger. As long as this battle drags on for two or three months, we will lose. The polar bears in the east have been hungry all winter, and they will definitely come out to hunt by then. ! \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

I can only say that we will do our best, but the chances of winning this battle are slim! "

Ferdinand II stared at Conrad dumbfounded. He never dreamed that the Chief of Staff of the Austrian Army was so pessimistic about war!

It's right to think about it, this is all determined by one's own strength. After the war broke out, the combat effectiveness displayed by the Austro-Hungarian army is really no way to make people feel at ease?

No matter how good a strategy is, doesn’t it require people to implement it? The combat effectiveness of the army is not good, and any combat plan may be reduced to a laughing stock.

After a moment of silence, Ferdinand said dissatisfiedly: "Well then, let's pray to God for blessing!"

He never dreamed that he would inherit a messed-up Austro-Hungarian Empire, not only unable to achieve a breakthrough in the military, but also in a passive position politically. \u00261t;i\u003e\u00261t;/i\u003e

After a pause, Ferdinand II added another sentence: "By the way, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, remember to beat the Kingdom of Hungary, they are too shameless!"

Conrad nodded. He knew all about the bad things going on in the Kingdom of Hungary. As the largest grain producer in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it actually said that there was a shortage of grain, and the central government had to allocate funds to buy grain for them!

This is simply a joke. During the war, the Austro-Hungarian Empire also specially formulated a wartime act to combat hoarding, but in the Kingdom of Hungary, there is no such thing at all.

The capitalists’ granaries were still full of grain. The Hungarian government had to take measures to allow them to receive grain from the market. Instead, it stood with the capitalists and asked the central government to pay for grain from them. Gold payment.

The whole world is watching the joke of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In their own country, their own currency cannot be circulated. It has to be said that this is an irony.

However, Ferdinand II still had to find a way to solve the problem of eating for ordinary people. The capitalists in Hungary have openly claimed that the central government took away the food, which caused the shortage of food in the Kingdom of Hungary and caused the price of food to rise!

There is no doubt that these capitalists are retaliating after the government has compulsorily purchased a batch of food from them at a fair price under the wartime act.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will wake up the Hungarians!" Conrad said murderously
