Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 50: , Sorb Railway opened to traffic

  " There are colorful convertible carriages running on the street, mountains of food are piled up in the warehouses of the rich, large color photos of ‘beauties’ everywhere in entertainment venues and...

   The unspeakable grief of the people, they have nothing on the table, can't eat enough to eat, and it is rare to eat white bread for many years..."

   Is it familiar? Yes, this is the original description of Shanghai Beach (adapted by the author). This is the status quo in the Balkans, as was Bulgaria two years ago.

  Thanks to the cleansing of the Stamm era and the sweeping away of a large number of wealthy people, Ferdinand has enough accumulation to relax the exploitation of the people and let the common people breathe a sigh of relief.

   Along the way, Ferdinand discovered that the old entertainment venues were mostly closed. The people's faces glowed with hope, taxes returned to normal levels, and the mountain that was pressing on them was removed.

  The most important thing is that the usury owed is not repaid, and the dead will not come to collect the accounts. At this point, they still have many people thanking the Stam government.

   Regardless of the notoriety of the Stam government, in fact, the contribution to the country is still the highest among Bulgarian governments.

  The hills and ridges of Bulgaria are undulating and changeable in shape. Mountains and hills and forests account for about 64% of the country. (Note: This is the topography of 1891; after the failure of the Second Balkan War and the two world wars, Bulgaria lost a large area of ​​the plain, and later generations of mountains and hills rose to 79%.)

  The railway is still under construction and the automobile is still in the era of research and development. Even if Ferdinand is the king, he can only rely on a carriage to travel, suffering from bumps.

   As for why he didn't ride a horse, Ferdinand was a standard knight before Li Mu crossed the journey; but now Ferdinand will not fall off on horseback is a question!

   Fortunately, Ferdinand's body is very good after crossing, and he can stand it. If Li Mu in his previous life had vomited and diarrhea.

   Along the way, as expected by Ferdinand, the process of industrialization in various places is not bad. In agriculture, the promotion of new technologies in plain areas is rapid, and the progress in mountain areas is mostly slow.

   Of course, there is one other benefit that Ferdinand did not notice. Wherever he went, a road was born in advance.

   This ordinary road became the first continuous transportation hub in Bulgaria. It was called "Imperial Avenue" in history, and it was also dubbed by folks: "Chama Walkway", which means: the avenue where the king inspected.

   Now Ferdinand has reached the city of Burgas in southeastern Bulgaria. It is located on the west bank of the Black Sea. It is the capital of Burgas State and borders the Gulf of Burgas on the Black Sea. It is the second largest city in Bulgaria's overall economic strength in the future, and a central city on the southern coast of Bulgaria's Black Sea. It has an important position in industry and transportation.

   Its history can be traced back to ancient Greece. During the Middle Ages the city began to develop. It is also an important transit hub for traveling to Bulgaria's Black Sea coast tourist area. It also has petroleum, chemical, salt drying, iron mining and other industries.

   Now Burgas is just an ordinary small port. The reason why Ferdinand came here was mainly because the first main trunk line in Bulgaria was opened to traffic, from Sofia to Burgas, with a total length of 580 kilometers. (Some of the road sections have existed before, but they are just connected.)

   Ferdinand knew that with the completion of the railway, Burgas will enter the fast track of rapid development in the future.

   Parallel time and space, Burgas Port undertakes 60% of Bulgaria’s national maritime transportation. The petrochemical industry is developed and the largest oil refinery in the Balkans is located here.

   is also the fishery center of Bulgaria. Affected by the maritime climate and temperate continental humid climate, it is suitable for the development of agriculture.

   In addition to the production of grain crops such as wheat, corn, and barley, there are also cash crops such as grapes, apples, almonds, and cherries.

  The opening of the Sofia-Burgas railway is definitely a big event for Bulgaria. This railway passes through many cities and runs through things in Bulgaria.

   The original name of this railway, Ferdinand no longer remembers, directly according to his habit, named the first word of the two cities. So the nondescript name "Sorbian Railway" was born.

   The "Sorbian Railway" is the main artery of Bulgaria, with extremely high military value and economic value. If the branches are connected, the traffic in Bulgaria will be alive.

   The opening ceremony of the "Sorbian Railway" was very grand. Ferdinand attended the opening ceremony in Burgas, and Chekov, on behalf of the government, presided over the opening ceremony in Sofia.

   The two trains departed from Sofia and Burgas one after another. It took twelve and a half hours to reach the destination safely.

   In fact, in order to ensure a smooth opening to traffic, it has been tested many times before, and now it is just a cutscene.

   The Bulgarian news newspapers all reported the good news to the people on the front page. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

   Ferdinand didn't feel much. After seeing the speed of the high-speed rail, it is really hard to make him feel excited about the railway with a speed of less than 50 kilometers per hour.

   In fact, at the end of the 19th century, the "Sorbian Railway" can only be described as ordinary. The most common steam train is used, and the only advantage is mature technology and reliable safety.

   Although Ferdinand knew that in the near future, he would be eliminated, and the railway had to be rebuilt on a large scale, and he was still powerless.

   Despite this, it does not affect the status of the "Sorbian Railway" in Bulgaria. From now on, Bulgaria can start from the east and the west.

   Economically, the cost of material transportation has been greatly reduced, and people’s communication has become more convenient, which has promoted economic development.

   In the military, the pressure on national defense has been greatly reduced. Within one day, one regiment can be deployed to most areas of the country; within three days, this figure can be enlarged to one division. The premise is that the branch lines in various places are also connected.

  Ferdinand still underestimated the impact of the opening of the "Sorbian Railway".

   All over Bulgaria, people have spontaneously organized celebrations. The common demonstrations in the world did not exist. They were obstructing public transportation and illegal.

   Most of the three or five friends gather together, brag about each other, imagine the future, and comment on the present. There are also businesses that take the opportunity to launch a promotional event.

   In short, the Bulgarians at this stage are still very conservative. Not only is life simple, but even daily behaviors are conservative and follow tradition. The spring breeze of democracy and freedom has not yet reached their hearts.

  Ferdinand was enjoying this wonderful time when an unexpected guest interrupted his schedule.
