Bulgarian Empire
Chapter 40 Capital Exports
At 5 o'clock in the morning on January 24, 1941, the Holy Alliance launched a landing operation on the British Isles. Based on the principle of finding soft persimmons, Ireland was chosen as the landing site this time.
In order to cover the landing of the army, part of the French navy, the Austro-Hungarian navy, and the Bulgarian navy all assembled in the English Channel.
At the same time, there are still tens of thousands of fighter planes hovering in the sky, and the Royal Navy fleet wandering in the Atlantic Ocean dare not take the lead.
It's not that the British don't work hard, it's because the strength gap between the two sides is too great. Without air supremacy, it would be good if the Royal Navy's strength can be fully utilized by five points.
Originally, the British also planned to use the advantages of the Royal Navy to block the coastline, but the reality told them that in the absence of air supremacy, it is better to stay away from the mainland.
This was paid for in blood, an example being the African Fleet, which wanted to bombard Bulgarian ports after the outbreak of the South African War.
In the end, they successfully completed the task, but the price was a bit heavy. The African fleet only lost a few small torpedo boats.
If the fleet is exchanged for a port, if it is an important port like Constantinople, it is almost the same. A port like a fishing village in Africa may not be worth as much as a battleship.
Your Majesty, the landing was successful! At 12:38 on January 24, 1941, the First Division of the Holy Alliance Expeditionary Army successfully landed on the island of Ireland! Chief of Staff Christophe said in surprise
Everyone smiled happily. As long as the landing was successful, things would be easy. Among the British Isles, Ireland had the lowest defense.
With millions of Irish people on the island as the leading party, what defense do the British have?
Without potatoes on the island of Ireland, the British food crisis will be further intensified, and the war has entered the countdown.
Well, release this news and contact independent organizations on the island of Ireland so that they can form the Kingdom of Ireland as soon as possible! Little Ferdinand said after thinking for a while
The Bulgarian government is keeping its word. Since it has promised to make the Irish independent, it must make Ireland independent.
This has nothing to do with buying people's hearts. The newly formed Irish government was formed voluntarily by them, and their opposition to British colonial rule was a spontaneous act of the Irish.
Yes, it must be so!
Believe it or not, little Ferdinand himself believed it. Isn't it normal for the country to contribute independently for the sake of national independence?
Your Majesty, the Irish have been enslaved by the British for a long time, and we must provide them with some help. I propose to provide equipment for the fifteen infantry divisions of the Kingdom of Ireland! Prime Minister Tolski said solemnly
This is completely free aid without the slightest political strings attached, at most it is to make Ireland's defense system automatically close to that of Bulgaria.
There is no way. It is very unrealistic for a small country to build an independent national defense system. The cost of developing and manufacturing weapons by itself is definitely much more expensive than purchasing them from outside.
Anyway, you have to buy it, who is not buying it?
What, you said weapons and ammunition are too expensive?
As the saying goes, cheap but not good, Bulgaria's weapons and equipment are the world's number one,
The price is naturally a little higher.
The Prime Minister is right, tell the Irish to wait for their navy to be successfully formed, and we will send them a battleship! Little Ferdinand said indifferently
With the outbreak of this war, battleships are becoming less and less popular in the navy, and everyone knows that the future is the era of aircraft carriers.
In this context, the dozens of battleships in the Bulgarian Navy are an eyesore. They can also serve as escort ships during the war, and their retirement after the war is irreversible.
Little Ferdinand didn't feel distressed when he sent someone off. Ireland is just the beginning. In the future, it is estimated that many countries will receive Bulgaria's navy spree.
These warships are useless to European powers, but it is different in the hands of small countries. A battleship is completely used to support the facade.
Little Ferdinand was very virtuous. He not only sent warships for free, but he could even provide logistical services, but he needed to charge a small fee.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as you spend a little money, you can build your own country's naval system, even though all warships are bought, this is also a great temptation.
The navy is a gold-swallowing beast. A battleship can only cost 50 to 60 million levas at most, but a series of subsidiary warships and a supporting logistics supply system cannot be handled without 300 to 500 million levas.
Whether these countries can support their finances is not a problem for Bulgaria. If you have no money, you can still get a loan, as long as you have a mortgage.
Ferdinand Jr. said that Bulgaria's banks are not picky eaters. Whether it is mineral resources or government taxation, they can all be part of the collateral.
They even undertake land mortgages. In order to take care of everyone's face, they can only mortgage the land use rights, not the sovereignty.
Look at how caring these services are, even taking care of everyone's face. It seems that in this era, everyone's land is privately owned, and the right to use it is unlimited.
These are small things, and they can be redeemed when they have money in the future. This is a purely commercial mortgage and does not involve any sovereignty issues.
International loans in this era are very dark, and the political conditions attached are often ten times or a hundred times more serious than the interest on the loan itself. The no-attached mortgage loan launched by the Bulgarian Bank can be said to be a conscientious banker!
It is conceivable that in the future, as soon as Bulgarian banks launch these financial services, they will immediately be welcomed by governments around the world.
As long as there is no sovereignty involved, which government would refuse a purely commercial loan? Do you really think that they are all local tyrants and have no financial pressure?
Especially in republican countries, there will be a change of term every three to five times. Just think about the immediate problems. Whether you can repay the loan in the future will be a question for the next term.
It doesn't matter if the next term can't afford it, and the next government, as long as the current life is good.
If it is really impossible, the big deal is to declare the government bankrupt. This kind of secured loan cannot be denied, but the unsecured loan can always be erased, right?
Another example is to issue additional currency, artificially create short-term economic prosperity, and solve the government's financial crisis. Never overestimate the integrity of politicians.
From this point of view, the American countries are the best customers, with vast land, sparsely populated, and rich resources, they have a lot of collateral in their hands.
Well, it seems that most of these industries have already fallen into the hands of international consortiums, but it doesn't matter. Didn't the British lose the war?
It is difficult for the consortium attached to the British Commonwealth to not shed its skin this time.
There are also some countries that dare to confiscate the enterprises of the Bulgarian royal family. Ferdinand Jr. said: After the war is over, if he does not extort ten times the compensation, he will fight with them.
In the current international situation, there is no possibility of a cold war breaking out. After the war, the Bulgarian family was the only one, but there was no possibility of shopping around!
Foreign Secretary Coleman said: Your Majesty, on the Southeast Asian battlefield, our local troops are limited, and we just joined forces with the French to occupy the British Philippine Islands.
The Japanese had occupied the British Malay Islands and were attacking Burma and Australia at this time.
According to information from our embassy, the Japanese have successively dispatched 800,000 troops from the Far East battlefield to these two areas.
Judging from the current situation, the Japanese government may give up the war battlefield and concentrate on managing Southeast Asia.
The Dutch have already felt the pressure, they are worried that the Japanese will do something to the Java area, and hope to get our security protection!
How did the Ministry of Foreign Affairs come to this conclusion? From the map, frankly speaking, I can't see the core strategy of the Japanese. They are just trying to spread the word! Little Ferdinand asked suspiciously.
He really couldn't understand the strategy of the Japanese. Even Bulgaria didn't dare to play like them. They were enemies in all directions, and only Thailand could barely be regarded as an ally.
Even if the enemies are all weak chickens, don't they still need to eat every bite? At the same time, fighting on four fronts, even if you can fight against the enemy, you must also consider the national strength's ability to bear it!
Coleman analyzed: Your Majesty, there are mainly two reasons.
First, the persimmons are soft first. Whether it is Soviet Russia or Taiwan, it is not easy to fight. The Japanese government will not be able to win in the short term.
Second, the European war is coming to an end, and we refuse to accept them to join the Holy Alliance, which aggravates the anxiety in the Japanese government.
The Japanese are worried that we will put our strategic focus on the Nanyang region after the war. For their own safety, they may now choose to take military risks and occupy these regions before us.
In theory, as long as the Japanese government occupies Australia and Southeast Asia, it can force us to abandon the colonies there and turn Southeast Asia into their back garden.
In order to take the initiative, perhaps the Japanese government is also preparing to attack India and install a pro-Japanese Indian government to keep us out of the subcontinent.
In this war, the losses of several major powers in the Holy Alliance were not small, and neither the Austro-Hungarian Empire nor Western Russia would be interested in Nanyang.
It will also be very difficult for us to defeat them, and this loss is likely to exceed the gain we can gain!
Little Ferdinand nodded his head to express his approval. The Japanese government was invincible on the Nanyang battlefield, and the British did not cause them much hindrance at all.
This created an illusion for the Japanese, that is, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army has surpassed that of the European powers, which stimulated their ambitions.
The two sides are separated by thousands of miles. As long as they occupy Southeast Asia, Australia, and Indochina Peninsula and create a perfect defensive circle, even Bulgaria will have nothing to do with them.
Well, if the Japanese strategy is really realized, Bulgaria really can't do anything to them, except for bombing all the way with atomic bombs, the losses in conventional wars will be very large.
Chief of Staff Christopher retorted: Mr. Coleman, I think it is unlikely that this will happen. The Japanese want to achieve this strategic goal. The Dutch, the French, and the colonies of our three countries are all nail.
We have landed on the island of Ireland. According to the current situation, the British will collapse this year. Are they sure they can occupy so many areas in just a few months?
If they can't do this and take the initiative to launch a war against us, aren't they courting death? Even if we use one-third of our strength, it is not something the Japanese government can bear!
It is theoretically feasible, but it is only theoretical, and it is not so easy in the military.
The British have no fighting spirit, and the London government also knew that these areas could not be defended, so they gave up early.
But the three countries of Bulgaria, France, and the Netherlands are different. The colonial government can't win against the Japanese, so why not just delay it?
As long as a foothold is left in the Nanyang region, the Japanese will not be able to stop the continuous entry of follow-up troops.
The gap in national strength cannot be made up by simply relying on strategy. Once it becomes a war of attrition, the result is already doomed.
...
Forget it, don't worry about the Japanese's problems, anyway, they can't make big waves anyway, let them go!
Little Ferdinand stopped the quarrel between the two sides. The cabinet members did not know the existence of the atomic bomb, but he knew it.
After so many years, Bulgaria has also stored hundreds of them. It is probably possible to bomb all the way from Nanyang to Tokyo!
Yes, Your Majesty! the crowd replied
...
Chancellor of Finance Merkel thought for a while and said: Your Majesty, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Kingdom of Belgium, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and the Kingdom of Poland have all applied for loans from us.
The Kingdom of Bavaria, the Kingdom of the Rhine, the Kingdom of East Prussia, the Swiss Confederation and other countries are also interested in lending to us.
Bulgaria has long been prepared to export capital. How can the Lev replace the pound without capital export?
Including the previous export of naval weapons and equipment, it essentially serves the export of capital. Once the lev becomes an international currency, the annual minting power is an astronomical figure, not to mention.
What do you think? Little Ferdinand asked.
Your Majesty, as long as they can get collateral, we can approve these loans. For the smooth export of capital in the future, we should not put forward too many conditions now! Prime Minister Torsky said
Minister of the Interior Berber said: Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is right. Now that we have occupied the world's largest gold mine, the conditions for Lev's globalization have been met.
Coupled with our oil settlement system, it won't be long before the lev becomes an international currency stronger than the pound!
In Ferdinand’s view, Bulgaria’s current capital output = printing money, this is a matter of speed, too much will not work, and too little will have no effect.
Paper money itself is worthless, and it depends on the value supported by everyone's approval.
Once everyone recognizes the lev and uses the lev for settlement in international trade, Bulgaria will also kidnap the world economy.
Therefore, loans must be borrowed, otherwise people will not have levs in their hands, and even if they want to use levs for trade, they will not be able to do it!
For Bulgaria, the current trouble is how to get Lev in the hands of governments all over the world, and the bigger the number, the better.
Only when everyone holds a large amount of Leva can a community of interests be formed. Because, once the Lev depreciates, they will suffer heavy losses, and for their own benefit, they must also support the market.
