Bulgarian Empire

　　 gathered "experts" from various industries in Bulgaria. After half a month of demonstration, the "Second Five-Year Plan" finally took shape.

　　 The "Second Five-Year Plan" still centers on economic construction, supplemented by military, education, medical, and agricultural industries.

　　 The biggest difference from the "First Five-Year Plan" is that the "Second Five-Year Plan" places equal emphasis on heavy industry and light industry, and the government will focus on supporting the processing and manufacturing industries.

　　 Bulgaria’s "Second Five-Year Plan" involves a total of 283 large and small projects. The core tasks are as follows:

　　 1. Big railway plan: 3,400 kilometers of railways will be built within five years, basically completing the connection with major cities across the country.

　　 Second, the plan for large roads: 20,000 kilometers of roads will be built within five years, and the roads must reach every small town in the country and connect half of the villages in the country.

　　 Third, the big steel plan: to be completed within five years, with an annual output of 56,000 tons of refined steel and 124,000 tons of iron, which basically meets Bulgaria’s own consumption.

　　 Fourth, military reform: learn from the German Army to set up a general staff, add internal staff to be responsible for soldiers' daily life and ideological education (simply put: brainwashing).

　　 The grand reserve plan was launched. Starting in 1892, 60,000 reserve forces will be recruited every year for the next five years, and the service will last for one year. The standing army remains unchanged at 65,000, and the vacancies are selected from the reserve.

　　V. Agricultural reform: Continue to promote mechanized farming, promote new agricultural technologies, and expand fertilizer production capacity by 200,000 tons, mainly phosphate fertilizer and urea. (Synthetic ammonia has not yet been developed, only two technologies are simple) Organize farmers to build water conservancy projects to achieve the goal of ensuring income from droughts and floods in the main grain-producing areas.

　　 Six. Education: In the "Second Five-Year Plan", the government prioritizes investment in education to technical colleges and encourages the transition from secondary schools to vocational colleges.

　　 Seven. Medical reform: Intensify efforts to train medical staff, increase medical colleges, encourage old doctors to take apprentices, and provide some subsidies from the state. The government opens training courses and regularly organizes private doctors to learn to improve medical standards.

　　 8. Military industry: Expand the arsenal, introduce new equipment and technology from abroad, add heavy artillery production lines, and complete the localization of army weapons within five years.

　　The "Second Five-Year Plan" of Bulgaria, led by Ferdinand, nominally started in 1893, but in fact it did not start at the same time. Many projects will start ahead of schedule.

　　 For example, the "Railway Plan" did not stop construction due to the completion of the "First Five-Year Plan" task, but continued construction. For them, the "Second Five-Year Plan" has already started. And like military reform, it will start in 1892.

　　 But these do not affect the propaganda that the "Second Five-Year Plan" started in 1893, anyway, the people don't care if it started early, they only care about the final result, and there is no increase in income.

　　 On February 6, 1892, Ferdinand formally approved the "Building Outline of Bulgaria's Second Five-Year Plan", referred to as the "Second Five-Year Plan".

　　 On the same day, the Bulgarian Ministry of Propaganda officially released the contents of the "Second Five-Year Plan".

　　 As soon as the "Second Five-Year Plan" was released, public opinion exploded. Bulgarians turned their attention to it, and the newspapers of various newspapers were sold out of stock for a while.

　　 Of course, the focus of attention of various industries is also different.

　　 For example, railway workers have focused their attention on the "Big Railway Project", which means that their livelihoods will be settled in the next five years.

　　 Farmers focus on "agricultural reform." Many people have benefited a lot from it in the First Five-Year Plan. Naturally, they should pay attention to news in this regard.

　　 The capitalists are more concerned about the new economic policies and whether the government will continue to increase investment in infrastructure, which is related to their future investment direction.

　　 If you want to evaluate the Bulgarians in 1892, many people will say: "Busy"! That's right now Bulgaria is very busy all over the country!

　　 As soon as the “Second Five-Year Plan” was launched, all walks of life became busy. Amidst the busyness, the hidden crisis was covered.

　　 Only Ferdinand knows that Bulgaria’s economy is now very dangerous. Industrial development lacks sufficient industrial raw materials and a vast market. Once the government stops investing in construction, an economic crisis will break out.

　　 If it is a large country, tariffs can also be adopted to protect the market, but it is completely impossible for Bulgaria to have a title. A market of less than four million people cannot support the industrialization of a country.

　　The alliance with Russia is the most effective strategy for Ferdinand to shift the crisis. The fourteenth economic crisis of the capitalist world, or the third major economic crisis, has already broken out.

　　 In March 1890, the German stock market plummeted, and the stock price fell for more than two consecutive years. From 1890 to 1891, there were about 15,000 bankruptcies and the scale of railway construction was reduced by 60%. The crisis has become more serious when the agricultural harvest has failed.

　　 If history has not changed, this economic crisis will spread to the whole world, and now there are some signs of it. It will affect the whole body, and Bulgaria will not be able to survive.

　　 Entering 1893, the economic crisis broke out. From January to August in the United States, the average market price of industrial stocks fell by nearly half. The price index for metals and metal products fell by 44%, and the price index for textiles fell by 26%.

　　 However, it is worth mentioning that this economic crisis has not had that great impact on Russia. Due to the backward industrial development, it has a large enough market to survive the crisis in a stable period.

　　Of course, although the Bulgarians now know that the economic crisis has broken out, they do not know that it will spread to the Balkans, let alone affect the situation in the Balkans in the future.

　　 Ferdinand didn’t understand this period of history very clearly. Anyway, he knew that after the economic crisis spread to the Ottoman Empire, a new round of revolutionary climax broke out again, and there was always something to do.

Ferdinand is ready. Once UU reading www.uukanshu.com determines that the economic crisis will spread to Bulgaria, it will start dumping to the Balkan countries. Even the vests are ready. Companies in Britain, France, Germany, Austria, and Russia have everything they need. .

　　 As long as the speed is fast enough and there is no Internet in that era, there is a time gap to throw out the crisis. As for the consequences, I can't care about it.

　　 In fact, Bulgaria’s "2nd Five-Year Plan" has already attracted the attention of interested people.

　　 Even though Ferdinand had dealt with the content of military reforms in a low-key manner, he was still discovered. At least the army expansion could not be covered up. Even if it was the reserve service, it still caused a lot of people's anxiety.

　　 Bulgarian folks are all talking about it.

　　 "I'm afraid there is going to be a war!" A

　　 "It is 80%, come and guess who we are going to hit?" B

　　 "This is still a guess, of course it is Serbia. The accounts a few years ago have not been settled yet! Now the government must retaliate back!" A

　　 "I don't think it is. Serbia attacked us a few years ago. It was not our spanking and peeing. If we want to hit them, we need to expand the army! I think it is mostly the Ottoman Empire. The government is trying to rescue the compatriots in Macedonia!"

　　 "I don't think so, it must be playing Serbia, Ottoman is not easy to mess with!"

　　 "What are you afraid of! The Ottoman is not good now, what is terrible about'Sick Man Siya', if you are afraid, don't join the army then, the task of fighting the Ottoman is left to me!"

　　 "Huh!! How could this be possible!! I have long seen Serbia not pleasing to my eyes. This time I must fight Serbia. Then I will be able to avenge those bastards!"

　　 "Stop! It's not a way for you to be so noisy, or let's take a gamble? Who loses and who helps each other..." B
