Bulgarian Empire

Ferdinand asked rhetorically, The account can't be calculated like this, in addition to the economic value, we must also take other factors into consideration!

Have you noticed that in the current trade between Bulgaria and Russia, Bulgaria now belongs to the super-entry side?

If there were no previous immigrants, which consumed most of the funds and covered up this problem, then the long-term trade surplus with Russia, even if we are allies with the Russian Empire, problems will still occur after a long time, have you considered it? ?

Everyone's face changed drastically. This is indeed a big problem. If it cannot be handled properly, the future relations between Russia and Russia will inevitably be greatly affected!

Now Bulgaria imports industrial raw materials from the Russian Empire and sells industrial products to the Russian Empire.

Because of the signing of the trade agreement, both sides enjoy low tariffs, and Bulgaria's industrial products can compete with the big powers by virtue of their price advantage.

But how can the bear's advantage be so easy to take advantage of? Over time, no matter how good the relationship is, conflicts will arise. Russia can't let Bulgaria take advantage of it all the time, can it?

No one has raised it now. The big reason is that because of immigration, the Bulgarian government paid a lot of fees to the Russian Empire to offset the trade deficit.

Russian aristocrats, profit from it! In addition, the quality of immigrants needed by Bulgaria is low. In the Russian Empire, they are almost like waste.

In addition, the Russian Empire also hopes to affect Bulgaria's internal affairs and diplomacy through immigration, and gradually assimilate Bulgaria. All these factors add up to the Russian government's green light and the root cause of no objections!

Although I don't want to admit it, the problem is right in front of my eyes, and everyone can't ignore it. The Russian Empire is now too important to the development of Bulgaria! !

Now everyone thinks they understand why Ferdinand insisted on Bulgarization. Isn't it to prevent Bulgaria from being annexed by the Russian Empire?

Heavy pressure is coming, and a sense of historical responsibility arises spontaneously! what can we do about it? Immigration is short-term. If there is no other way, then the trade conflict between Russia and Bulgaria will intensify sooner or later!

Ferdinand suddenly realized that he seemed to have made the problem too serious and frightened people! Just about to say something, Chekov suddenly said:

Your Excellency, we can rely on immigration to balance the trade surplus in the short term, but it is not a long-term solution after all! Is it feasible for us to give up certain industries as a balance point for the trade surplus?

Ferdinand nodded. If he didn't know the future direction, he would probably adopt this method to balance the trade surplus, such as stopping domestic mining and importing from the Russian Empire, etc.!

Don't worry too much. With Bulgaria's current development speed, there is still a huge demand for manpower. We must introduce large-scale immigrants in at least five years!

Five years is enough time for us to find new ways to solve the problem of trade balance!

Everyone suddenly understood why the Grand Duke launched the Baoshen War at this time; and why he insisted on expelling the Serbs!

Once there is a trade conflict between Bulgaria and Russia, it will inevitably cause domestic turmoil, and the economic crisis will break out in an all-round way, interrupting Bulgaria's development path.

However, the Bulgarian War extended this crisis for five years, and the new land development promoted the next development of the Bulgarian economy!

After a series of misunderstandings, the image of Ferdinand in everyone's hearts was infinitely elevated a lot!

Your Excellency, what is our next strategy? Constantine asked for advice.

If it wasn't for the fear of being regarded as a monster, Ferdinand would have prepared and told everyone that he planned to make a fortune in the Greek-Turkish War!

Now that the Prime Minister has asked, of course it can be said. But how to say, but also to test skills,

It must be persuasive without exposing the ability of foresight!

Ferdinand pondered for a moment, organized his language, stood up and said: Look at the map on the wall, there are three countries bordering us: Serbia, Romania, and Ottoman Turkey!

Serbia doesn’t need to think about it. It just finished the fight and got everything that can be obtained. Unless Austria-Hungary decides to annex Serbia, they will leave those troublesome places to us, otherwise don’t worry about it!

Then look at Romania, which is sandwiched between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Russian Empire. Even though their land is fertile, they still haven’t developed yet, so they know that being a neighbor with great powers is not a good choice!

Moreover, the risk of expanding to Romania is too great. Both the Austro-Hungarian and Russian empires are staring at him. There are too many variables when we join in. Once Romania is divided, we will have to bear the pressure ourselves. Now Bulgaria has not done well. Prepare!

Everyone knows what the Ottoman Turkish Empire is. Even if the Sudan has made some changes, it still cannot change their declining nature!

The ethnic conflicts in the country have tossed them half to death. They are now getting weaker every day. On the surface, it still looks like a big empire, but in fact, its roots have long been rotten!

Look at the map of the Balkans again. The entire Balkan Peninsula, except for Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece, and Montenegro, is the territory of the Ottoman Empire!

Macedonia, Thrace, Istanbul, Thessaloniki, Kosovo and other places that are close to us, if we can annex these areas, the territory of Bulgaria can be doubled directly!

Then the next problem is no longer a problem! The shortcomings of raw materials that restrict our industrial development can all be complemented!

Ferdinand didn't keep it, and poured it out straight away. As for whether it will be leaked, Ferdinand said that if the members of the cabinet are unreliable, then Bulgaria doesn't have to do anything, just farm and wait for death!

After hearing Ferdinand's strategic conception, everyone was stunned. No wonder they are shallow, it's unbelievable!

The weakness of the Ottoman Turkish Empire was revealed to the whole world after the Armenians launched a rebellion in Constantinople!

Then the Greeks would be the first to eat crabs after the Crete crisis broke out, and confidently declared war on the Turks.

It's a pity that the Greeks saw the weakness of the Turks, but they didn't realize that they were actually weaker!

Then a terrible war broke out, and the Greeks were undoubtedly defeated, but the weak Ottoman Empire didn't have the energy to find the Greeks' bad luck, and domestic conflicts forced it to shrink back!
