"Your Excellency, the Bulgarians intend to support the Spanish right-wing group, but they don't want to take action directly, they want to cooperate with us!" French Foreign Minister Yves Tolls said

"Oh, what terms did the Bulgarians offer?" asked Albert Le Brun with interest.

"A Spanish government that is pro-French, they will not interfere in Spain's internal issues!" Yvetors said calmly

Obviously, he is very satisfied with this condition. The attitude of the British is obvious. There is no place for France in the Western European Union. In order to break the strategic siege, it is necessary to win over Spain.

Now that the left-wing alliance has turned to the British, the French government is hesitating whether to support the right-wing forces. Now that there is an extra Bulgaria that contributes money and effort, they can also reduce some of the burden.

"Is there such a good thing? The Bulgarians won't make any more conspiracy?" Albert Le Brun said in disbelief

"Your Excellency, this is in the interests of Bulgaria. Their influence in Spain is too weak. They unilaterally support the right-wing forces. If they are not sure of success, they will unite with us.

For the Bulgarians, a pro-British Spanish government was also a nuisance. In contrast, a French-friendly Spanish government does not have this problem.

They are even willing to support the Franco-Spanish alliance, so that we and the Western European Union will be evenly matched. Under mutual restraint, the British will not have the strength to compete with them for the position of world hegemony.

Compared with this, what is a little money and weapons? ’ explains Yves Torres

"Oh, I knew that there would be no stuffed pies in the sky, it's still stuffed with meat!

However, I like this cooperation, since the British have chosen the Germans, they have to pay for it! ’ Albert Lebrun said harshly.

The French did not want to fight, but reality kept pushing them to the brink of war. Fortunately, their losses in World War I were much smaller than in history. Although the people opposed war, they were not afraid of war.

The arrogance of France still exists. Otherwise, after World War I, they would still support a navy that is the second largest in the world, and they gave up until now when they couldn't hold it anymore.

They have always insisted on the title of the world's number one army. Even now, they have a standing army of 500,000, of which there are more than 300,000 in the mainland.

There is no problem in suppressing Germany and Italy in the short term.

In the future, it will definitely be military expansion and preparations for war. The knot of territorial disputes cannot be untied, and this battle is inevitable.

The French naturally know that they must have reliable allies. Facing the Western European Union, their best ally is the Spaniards.

This is determined by geopolitics. Compared with Bulgaria, which is far away, Spain, which is close at hand, can provide them with more things.

"Your Excellency, if this is the case, then we can give the Spaniards the supplies they want first.

Later, there will be Bulgarians to help share the share, so there is no need for us to procrastinate any longer.

In this round of competition, we were temporarily at a disadvantage. The sudden attack of the left-wing power caught the Spanish right-wing alliance by surprise.

Now, it's time for us to help them! "Yvetors thought for a while and said.

"Okay, but the supplies have to make them pay IOUs, France is not rich now, and we can't give them for nothing.

If you want to take advantage, let them go to Bulgaria to ask for it, anyway, that upstart has plenty of money! ’ Albert Lebrun said sourly.

...

Nouveau riche is the positioning of Bulgaria by the outside world. Although they have a history of thousands of years, they are not worth mentioning compared with other countries.

The ancestors were also rich, and this sentence can only be said in the past 30 years. The Bulgarian Empire in history, when it was the most powerful, did not unify the Balkan Peninsula, and it is simply incomparable with the present.

The completion of several five-year plans and one ten-year plan laid the foundation for Bulgaria's rise.

"Your Majesty, this is the estimated production capacity of our Nanyang Rubber Plantation this year. The total output is about 520,000 tons!" The attendant said excitedly

Seventy percent of these rubber plantations are owned by Ferdinand and his wife. Kalimantan Island is now full of rubber plantations. After so many years of hard work, it is finally time to harvest.

It's a pity that little Ferdinand couldn't be happy, the natural rubber is still not enough!

Although the supply is in short supply, he can make a lot of money, but unfortunately now that he is the emperor, he doesn't care about this little money anymore.

No matter how profitable natural rubber is, after deducting expenses, the profit is only one or two hundred levs, and his profit is only a few hundred million levs.

The supply in the domestic market is in short supply, and the biggest buyer is his old man Ferdinand, which means that his so-called profits are all obtained from his old man.

The heir of this part of the industry, if nothing else, is himself, earning his own money, how can he be interested?

Even with the rubber production in Africa, the total production of natural rubber in Bulgaria is less than 1 million tons, while the demand in the domestic market is as high as 1.2 million tons.

Not only Bulgaria is out of stock, but all major industrial countries in the world are out of stock. Due to geographical constraints, the best natural rubber production place is in the Nanyang region.

It is a pity that due to the war, the rubber plantations in the Nanyang area have not yet returned to their peak period. Even after the war, a large group of capitalists rushed to this industry, but rubber trees did not grow in a day.

In the global market, however, the demand for natural rubber is increasing day by day. Bulgaria is the largest customer, consuming 53% of the world's natural rubber production capacity every year.

If it can be fully supplied, this consumption will further increase. Now there is no way but to use artificial synthetic rubber to cover it.

Even Bulgaria's synthetic rubber industry has developed rapidly and reached the forefront of the world.

Importing natural rubber at high prices and dumping artificial synthetic rubber at low prices is a characteristic of Bulgaria.

"Understood, commend the person in charge and let them continue to work hard. There is still a big gap in the natural rubber in the country. Let them do it freely!" Little Ferdinand said after thinking for a while.

"Your Majesty, according to the information from below, they believe that the cost of developing rubber plantations in Africa is too high, and the output is not as good as that in Nanyang. It is suggested to focus on expanding rubber plantations in Nanyang!" the attendant explained.

"Oh, this is indeed a problem, so let's lean towards the Nanyang region!" Little Ferdinand said indifferently

There are still advantages in developing rubber plantations in the Nanyang region, not only because of the superior natural conditions, but also because of the much lower labor costs.

For rubber plantations in Africa, you can only find workers from China or the European continent, but there are cheap Chinese laborers in Southeast Asia.

Bulgaria's business is word of mouth. Even overseas, capitalists attach great importance to reputation. They never deduct or default on wages. They have always been the most popular bosses.

It is easy to recruit people in the Nanyang region, but the African continent is different. At the beginning, they tried to get local people to work in the rubber plantations. As a result, they used the rubber trees as firewood, and the angry person in charge vomited three liters of blood.

Educating all living beings has never been a Bulgarian idea. Ferdinand's idea is to respect the unique living habits of each nation.

Of course, the prerequisite is that these ethnic groups cannot be Bulgarians, and Bulgarians can only follow Bulgarian habits.

To put it simply, it is African tribes, let them continue to exist in the form of tribes, and the colonial government cannot change their living habits to reduce ethnic conflicts.

Well, these are just the ideas of the Great Emperor. How the people who implement them will understand depends on personal understanding. In short, the population of the Bulgarian-controlled area is constantly decreasing.

You can't count on how high the integrity of the colonists is. If Ferdinand still has a little compassion, then Ferdinand Jr. is a standard European politician.

Many things are aligned with interests, the plot of the Virgin Mary? With Ferdinand's education model, how could his son be a good guy?

It's just that as a smart person, everyone knows how to pack a hypocrite, and there is no such thing as a real villain.

Since 1924, Bulgaria has successively immigrated 6.8 million people to various countries in the Americas, all of which were extracted from the colonies.

It greatly promoted the prosperity of the American continent, met their labor demand, and promoted their economic development.

To put it simply, anyone who has a bad relationship with Bulgaria will smuggle people to them. No, this is not smuggling!

They all entered the country legally, and they had reached an agreement with the capitalists in advance to provide them with cheap labor, and they all had legal employment contracts.

If everyone has a good relationship, one lev can hire 10,000 workers, as long as they take care of the food, it doesn't matter if they starve to death.

As the saying goes, cheap goods are not good, and good goods are not cheap. Such cheap workers are of course simple-minded and well-developed.

For example, in the war of the Three Treasures in South America, Bulgaria provided them with 300,000 strong soldiers, even with the support of the British and Argentina, in the end Bolivia still won a complete victory by relying on crowd tactics.

In many cases, as long as the quantity increases, the quality is not so important. According to General Uhamed, even if ten soldiers are exchanged for one soldier of the enemy, we will win in the end!

It was in this spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice that he won war after war and won the support of Bolivian soldiers.

Anyway, those who die are all mercenaries, and the cheap ones are terrible. They don’t need to pay pensions when they die, and those who live only need to take care of their food.

With such support from Bulgaria, they will naturally not be polite, and the mode of war has changed again.

In the melee in Central American countries, mercenaries also appeared, all of which were provided by a notorious black leather company in the world.

As long as there is a demand, there is a black leather company. The price is not a problem. They charge a symbolic fee. They are all international volunteers, and it is too vulgar to talk about money.

Although everyone knows that this weird mercenary company is the vest of the Bulgarian government, but this is a small problem, isn't it?

Driven by this favorable policy, the population of Bulgaria's colonies in Africa dropped from more than 20 million at its peak to less than 5 million now.

Colonel Chris, who formulated this plan and organized its implementation, was promoted to the high position of Governor of Africa, and was also awarded the title of earl.

"Father, the African transformation plan is going well, do we really want to continue to increase investment?" Little Ferdinand asked suspiciously

"Do you know the current population of the African continent?" Ferdinand asked

"Maybe fifty to sixty million?" Little Ferdinand said uncertainly.

"You estimated too much. I think it will not exceed 30 million at most! Our colony has a large population. Don't forget that for the stability of the Middle East, we immigrated to Africa.

Our estimates in advance made a lot of mistakes. You should have noticed that the actual population is much smaller than our estimates! ’ said Ferdinand with a slight smile.

This is not Ferdinand joking again. Now on the African continent, there is no country or region with a population of more than 10 million in later generations.

For example: in Libya, Bulgaria has always believed that there may be 700,000 to 800,000 people, or even one million, but after ruling here for several years, it was discovered that the total local population was less than 400,000, and the number of foreigners was no more than Tens of thousands.

The local population of Namibia is less than 130,000. The local population of Zimbabwe is only about 800,000.

Zambia has a population of more than 400,000, Uganda has a population of just over one million, and Tanzania has a population of just over two million.

Even Nigeria, which has the largest population in Africa in later generations, when Bulgaria took over, had a total population of just over 8 million.

After immigration from Bulgaria, the population of the African continent is now even smaller. In the end, Ferdinand came to a conclusion that shocked him. The total population of the African continent may be less than 30 million!

Believe it or not, this is the truth!

For this reason, Ferdinand also specially collected information and obtained data on the population of their colonies from the governments of various countries. Of course, this is only an estimated data.

Mozambique has a population of less than 2 million, Egypt has a population of more than 7 million, and Congo, the second most populous country in Africa, now has a total population of more than 700,000.

There is no doubt that even if there is an error in this data, it will not be as big as 20 to 30%. The governments of various countries are not stupid. They have ruled for so many years and even how many people they rule.

It doesn't matter if you don't admire it. Ferdinand found that the Congolese people are too powerful. Basically, the population doubles every eleven or twelve years. This speed is really embarrassing.

"Father, this conclusion is too terrifying. It is enough to change Bulgaria's national policy!" Little Ferdinand said dumbfounded.

Not to mention him, even Ferdinand was quite frightened when he got the news.

If he hadn't been too busy after he abdicated, he wouldn't have paid attention to these data that no one paid attention to, and he wouldn't have made this amazing discovery.

Now Bulgaria controls nearly 30% of the land on the African continent, and there are actually less than five million aborigines on it. Even if it's caused by immigration policy, it's scary.

"The more terrifying this conclusion is, the more beneficial it is for us. After all, the world is based on fists, and Britain and France gave up a good hand in vain!

Whether it is the Americas or Africa, they are all heaven-sent lands. Even if they cannot be developed, they can be turned into their own territory first. Don't you think this is nonsense?

Even if we can't eat the entire African continent, isn't there an Eastern European Union? Why not use the power of allies?

Isn't it just an exchange of interests, what's the big deal?

For example, sacrificing Poland and Germany, or allowing the three Baltic countries to return to Western Russia again, and allowing Eastern Russia to carve up the power of Britain and Central Asia, all of these can be discussed!

Taking a step back, we occupy more than half of the African continent, is it not a problem? ’ asked Ferdinand

"This is another world war!" Little Ferdinand said firmly

"No, this world war has already begun, the British have been fooled, and it's too late for them to quit!" Ferdinand said with a sneer

The establishment of the Western European Union by the British is the countdown to the war, and sooner or later they will be dragged into the war by Germany and Italy.

The British don't know Bulgaria's strategy. In their view, if they don't win over Germany and Italy as soon as possible, then the two countries will definitely fall to Bulgaria.

Bulgaria has been wooing Germany, but the price is not high, which is regarded by the British as a threat.

In fact, Ferdinand knew very well that it was impossible for Bulgaria to win over Germany. They had to make a choice between Austria-Hungary and Germany.

This multiple-choice question is easy to do. What Bulgaria needs is an obedient younger brother, not an ally who may become a competitor!

This is the same reason that the Germans chose the Austro-Hungarian Empire as their ally and gave up the more powerful Russian Empire.

But the British don't think so. The contradiction between Germany and Austria is more of a breath, and the contradiction between Germany and France is territorial interests.

The biggest enemy of the Germans has always been the French. Under this premise, Germany can temporarily put aside its grievances with the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Once Germany joins the Eastern European Union, they will have nothing to do with them on the European continent. Perhaps Bulgaria only needs to provide some guns and ammunition, and the French will be finished.

They have already experienced the combat effectiveness of the German army, and the French can't handle it, let alone them, and it's useless to go up.

Then we can only act first and control Germany and Italy first. Anyway, it is not in the interest of Bulgaria to make Russia and Austria bigger. Without Bulgaria as the main force, the Eastern European Union will not provoke war on land.

The interests of the French were sacrificed, and a strategic encirclement was formed. As long as Germany and Italy could defeat the French, they came out to mediate, and the Western European Union was formally established.

The strength of the two sides has reached a balance again, and the conflict between everyone has not reached the point of life and death. In order not to be taken advantage of by others, the possibility of war breaking out is infinitely zero.

This is the route Ferdinand set for the British. So far, they have done a good job and are very likely to succeed. The premise is that the British Empire has the strength to subdue several allies.
