Bulgarian Empire

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements!? Alvin is a native Bulgarian railway engineer. He graduated from the Sofia Railway Technical School and worked in the Design Institute of the railway company.

He has been in this job for ten years, and now he is going to the Arabian Peninsula for field exploration.

No way, this era is limited by technology, and it is impossible for designers to complete the design sitting in the office. An excellent railway designer is usually an excellent surveyor.

He left his comfortable home in Sofia with a few apprentices and a dozen laborers, along with a platoon of soldiers tasked with defending them from terrorists.

Since the government asked the military to provide three million laborers, the entire Bulgarian colony has not been peaceful. The large-scale enemies have been finished, but there are still fish that slipped through the net.

At present, apart from the Asia Minor peninsula, Syria, Jordan and Palestine, which have been cleared, other regions are hardest hit by terrorist activities.

The Arabian Peninsula is not bad, and has received the government's key care. After the military's dragnet-style investigation, there is no room for criminals to survive.

Will move faster, we can rest after exploring this mountain today! Alvin shouted loudly

Understood teacher, I still want to finish my work earlier and go back for vacation! Will replied

The work of going out for exploration is very hard, and Alvin has to operate the precise instruments himself to ensure the accuracy of the data.

In addition to topographic surveys, they have to conduct geological surveys almost every few hundred meters to determine whether the local area is suitable for railway construction, and to choose the lowest cost route for the railway as much as possible.

This job is very hard, but the pay is also very high, almost ten times the income of ordinary workers. Alvin spends half of his time every year eating and sleeping in the wild.

When encountering this kind of railway plan formulated by the government, it is very common to stay outside for a year or two without going home.

As a designer, Alvin's work usually starts with prospecting and continues until the railway is accepted for acceptance.

In many cases, when there is a lack of technical personnel on the construction site, he will also come to visit. This situation is common in Bulgaria.

Without a heart that can endure loneliness, ordinary people can't persevere. Alvin also thought about resigning several times, but for Lev's sake, he persisted again and again.

You must know that such a high-paying job is not easy to find. People with an annual income of over 10,000 are still rare in Bulgaria.

With this income, his family can live a comfortable life in Sofia, owning their own house, and he plans to buy a car.

Now the price of the car has dropped to 8,000 levs, which, as a member of the middle class, he can afford.

Of course, this has to wait until the project is completed, because he has already heard that the railway company's outstanding engineer award this time includes a car. If it happens to hit it, it can save a lot of money !

Taking cars as rewards was created by Ferdinand. Since the launch of the Great Highway Project, the government has called on rich people to buy cars.

As the largest capitalist in Bulgaria, it is natural to take the lead, so the year-end awards in 1921, most of the rewards for management and technical engineers have become cars.

Ferdinand sent out more than 80,000 cars at one time, all domestic products.

Of course, domestic products are not inferior products. After the end of the World War, Bulgaria's industrial products have completed a technological upgrade, many of which were selflessly contributed by the Germans.

Bulgaria's automobile industry has always been very good. As the largest automobile production base in Europe, it has monopolized the eighth-tier automobile market in Eastern Europe. Hard work is synonymous with Bulgarian automobiles.

Bulgaria is also the largest car user in Europe,

The capitalists who bought cars first, then the military aristocrats who made their fortunes in the world wars, and now the middle class.

Beginning with Ferdinand's wholesale incentive car, the days when the middle class will use cars on a large scale are not far away.

As a weather vane for Bulgarian companies, since Ferdinand's industry has left, other companies will surely follow suit. The middle class has already been used to cars!

How big is the middle class in Bulgaria today? It is roughly estimated that there are two to three million people, and there are still some.

The criteria for classification are very simple, based on income: those with an annual income between 8,000 and 50,000 levs belong to the middle class, and those with an annual income of more than 50,000 levs are considered rich.

Asset classification: If the total personal assets are between 100,000 Levas and 500,000 Levas, they all belong to the middle class. If they exceed 500,000 Levas, they are considered rich.

According to this standard, all nobles in Bulgaria are of the rich class, and their total assets exceed 500,000 levs, although the annual income of many of them is less than 50,000 levs.

There is no family as a unit. The big family is still popular in Bulgaria. Although it is a family, they are actually separated.

Financial income, daily expenses, and debts are all separated, but everyone still likes to appear as a family.

Faced with this special national condition, it is obviously unreasonable to divide the gap between the rich and the poor according to the standard of family property. Many large families have several hundred members.

The gap between the rich and the poor among family members is also very wide. There are rich people, middle class people, and poor people.

This is also caused by the unique cultural system. Everyone is used to brothers who settle accounts clearly. Perhaps those who know Europeans will find that some people are poor and need relief food, but his brother is a billionaire.

This is not surprising, family love belongs to family love, but people have no obligation to help you, you can't say that everyone is brothers, you must help!

The same is true even between parents and children. No one finds it strange that the children of billionaires go to restaurants to serve dishes to earn money as usual.

The same is true in Bulgaria, usually after the age of sixteen, they have to work hard to earn money to support themselves, and the parents' responsibility for their children ends here.

London

This financial capital of the world is now bustling again. Representatives from more than 20 countries have gathered together. The Royal Fleet is still docked in the port, showing the power of the British Empire to the outside world!

These countries are all coastal countries, and there are thresholds for participating in this meeting. You can't let a bunch of landlocked countries participate in the naval armament talks?

People don't even have a port, even if they want to build a navy, there is no place to put warships?

Is it necessary to limit the navy that stays on paper?

According to this standard, the countries that really participated in the negotiations this time are Britain, France, Bulgaria, and Japan, plus Russia, Austria-Hungary, Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Denmark, Chile, Brazil, and Argentina...

At the beginning of the meeting, the atmosphere was not very harmonious. The contradictions among the countries were not low, and it was impossible to completely follow the wishes of the British.

For the sake of world peace and stability, we gathered together today to come up with a reasonable measure to avoid wars caused by differences in military strength in various regions! British Foreign Secretary Gray said

As the younger brother of the British Empire, the Portuguese cooperated very tacitly: Everyone knows that every war is a tragedy in human history. After so many lessons, it is time for us to start reflecting!

I don't know what plan Gray has to prevent the tragedy from happening again?

It's very simple, establish a balance! As long as the military strength of each region reaches a balance point, then ambitious people should think twice before launching a war! Gray said

Watching the tricks of the British, everyone was in a daze. Obviously, no one took the words of the British seriously.

Regional military balance is easier said than done!

Is it possible for weak and strong countries to achieve a military balance?

In essence, this is nonsense. The strength of the overall national strength has been determined. The gap in military strength cannot be made up by simple arms treaties.

Seeing that no one demolished the power, Gray was already very satisfied, and wanted everyone to cooperate. It is estimated that the small country would sell the face of the British Empire, and the big country would already be giving face if it did not demolish the power.

For the long-term peace and stability of human society, I suggest that everyone unite to disarm and reduce the hidden danger of war! Gray continued.

When it comes to this point, some people can't sit still. The French, who claims to be the second most powerful country in the world, jumped out and asked, Then Mr. Gray, how does this specific disarmament plan unfold?

We jointly negotiated a disarmament ratio that everyone can accept, and then we will disarm at the same time! Gray replied without changing his face.

Megeve smiled slightly and said: Mr. Gray's suggestion is good. Let's disarm together and use the saved expenses to the national economy and people's livelihood. It is important to everyone!

But how is this ratio determined? We must know that everyone's geographical location is different, and the national conditions are also different, so we can't just make a one-size-fits-all approach, right?

Gray thought for a while and said, It's better to determine the amount of armaments everyone keeps, and then cut down the excess armaments. This is fairer!

Megeve fell into silence. Anyway, the stage had been set up for the British, and it was up to them to see what they could achieve in the end.

Suppressing the speed of military discovery of various countries is also very beneficial to Bulgaria. If ten to twenty years of peace can be won, then Bulgaria in the future will no longer be afraid of any enemies!

The Japanese representative Uchida Yasuya knew that this was aimed at them. Since the incident in North America, the British have intentionally or unintentionally caused trouble for them.

Mr. Gray, how is this standard determined? Uchida Yasuya asked with concern

How about taking the industrial strength of each country as the standard and determining the tonnage of our navy according to this ratio? Gray said slowly.

Megev smiled slightly and said, This is a good proposal, and we in Bulgaria have no objections!

As Portugal, Spain, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire all spoke up, anyway, this would not be a disadvantage to them.

The French looked a little embarrassed, but they didn't react too radically, and turned their attention to Japan.

Anyway, it is the Japanese who suffer the most. If the disarmament is carried out according to this standard, the Japanese navy will be finished!

Who told us that their total industrial output was less than half of that of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, less than one-third of that of the French, less than a quarter of that of Bulgaria, and less than one-tenth of that of the British.

Uchida Yasuya quickly said: No, this plan is very unfair to the Empire of Japan!

The representative of the Netherlands, who was at odds with Japan, suddenly said: How unfair, this is considering the actual situation of each country, and it is very reasonable to determine armaments based on everyone's industrial strength!

If that doesn't work, then I suggest that the naval armament be determined according to the total economic volume of each country, so as to prevent some countries from resorting to militarism and making the domestic people miserable!

This proposal is good. We, the French Republic, support it. We cannot use military force to increase the burden on the people!

Before Yasuya Uchida could reply, the French representative had already expressed his agreement!

This proposal is not bad, and we in Bulgaria have no objections, how about Mr. Uchida Yasuya choose one? Megev said with a slight smile

Even if it is based on the total economic volume, Japan is still the most disadvantaged party. Now their economic aggregate is just over one-third of Bulgaria's, less than half!

The gap between Bulgaria and France is less than one-fifth. If the colonies are not counted, the economic aggregates of the two countries are almost the same.

Impossible, these two standards are very disadvantageous to the Great Japanese Empire, we can't accept it! Uchida Yasuya still said angrily

How about we disarm according to the territory you actually control as a reference standard?

This is the head office. The larger the area of ​​the colony that needs to be protected, the more naval warships are needed. This time the actual situation has been taken into account! Gray said very dissatisfied.

Uchida Yasuya was so angry that he was speechless for a while, is there any difference between this and the previous two?

It seems that there is, but it is more ruthless for Japan!

The territory actually controlled by the British Empire is more than 30 million square kilometers; the area actually controlled by the French is more than 12 million square kilometers; the actual control area of ​​Bulgaria is also more than 10 million square kilometers.

And what about Japan? With less than one million square kilometers, disarmament is carried out in proportion. They simply disband the navy, and they may not be able to keep a single capital ship.

It is impossible for Uchida Yasuya to agree. If he dares to agree, he will definitely be hired as an earth plane when he returns to the Navy.

Impossible, Mr. Gray, if you want to target the Great Japanese Empire in this way, then we will withdraw from this arms conference! Uchida Yasuya roared

Exit the meeting? Is it that easy? Gray sneered and said, Then what is Mr. Uchida Yasuya's opinion, let us hear it?

Uchida Yasuya began to worry, it seemed that no matter what kind of plan, it would be very unfavorable to them, no matter what they were compared to, they would suffer!
