Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Half a month later, the ten-year plan was finally approved by Congress. Ferdinand's good mood did not last long, and the Ministry of Finance submitted a world economic report to him. \u00261t;/p\u003e

To be precise, it is the European economic report. With the division of the United States, the world economy now mainly depends on Europe. \u00261t;/p\u003e

The sequelae of the world war finally manifested. The reason for the economic recession in European countries was not the fact that countries lost a large number of people due to the war, resulting in a shortage of labor and an economic crisis. \u00261t;/p\u003e

In fact, both the British and the French, the number of unemployed people is rising sharply, it can only be said that cheap industrial products are not so easy to use. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Under the impact of German industrial and commercial products, many British and French enterprises engaged in processing and manufacturing were forced to close their doors. According to the speculation of the Ministry of Finance, the number of unemployed people in the United Kingdom will increase by one million in 1921! \u00261t;/p\u003e

The French will be even worse, their unemployment will increase faster than the British, at least 1.3 million! \u00261t;/p\u003e

With so many unemployed people, the consequences are undoubtedly very serious. Under normal circumstances, the government should take measures to contain the economic crisis. \u00261t;/p\u003e

It is a pity that now a large number of German and Italian creditor's rights have been transferred to the consortium, and it is impossible for them to give up the interests they have acquired for the sake of national interests. \u00261t;/p\u003e

The British and French governments can only think of other ways to solve the crisis. For example, the French planned to expel the Italians and Germans in their territory. At the Paris Peace Conference, they acquired a part of the territory of Germany and Italy, and there were seven or eight million non-French people on it. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Of course, this is just an idea. Does the French government still want to digest this part of the population? Moreover, expelling these people can easily lead to unforeseen consequences. \u00261t;/p\u003e

It was also proposed that these people be exiled to the colony,

By reducing the local population, to offset the crisis brought about by the Great Depression, to ensure the employment of French people. \u00261t;/p\u003e

The British were not idle either. They were still able to release floodwaters in the Commonwealth. The capitalists also sold some of these cheap goods into the three kingdoms of the Americas, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, India and other regions. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Looking at the countermeasures of Britain and France, Ferdinand has nothing to say. Anyway, they are all trapped by themselves. It has been four years since the end of the World War. rate of less than one percent. \u00261t;/p\u003e

To know that they are recovering growth, they are all such turtles, Ferdinand doubts whether they are already preparing to play de-industrialization! \u00261t;/p\u003e

After thinking about it, Ferdinand asked: Xiang, what do you think of the British and French countermeasures?\u00261t;/p\u003e

Constantine said hesitantly: Your Majesty, the economic policies of Britain and France are very negative. They seem to really believe in the nonsense of letting the market control the economy!

It's just that their countermeasures may lead to changes in the international situation. What I worry about is Germany and Italy. Now the two countries have huge foreign debts, and their domestic people's livelihood has been suppressed to the limit. \u00261t;/p\u003e

The problem is that both countries are still food importers, and they are not able to export many industrial and commercial products every year. If prices continue to fall, their foreign exchange may not be enough to import industrial raw materials, let alone food! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Unless Britain and France are willing to reduce the amount of reparations for Germany and Italy, their economies will collapse soon! ”\u00261t;/p\u003e

Ferdinand nodded. He remembered that in 1921, countries in history reduced the amount of indemnity for the Germans once, but this time and space was actually lost by his butterfly. \u00261t;/p\u003e

The Great Depression in Europe, also because countries joined forces to fight against the United States, consumed a lot of materials, and received some indemnities, and successfully transferred part of the crisis from Europe to the Americas. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Now Americans are busy building an independent country, and more than a dozen kingdoms are still under preparation. Everyone temporarily ignores the impact of the economic crisis. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Once order has returned to normal, large numbers of militias have been disbanded and gone home, and most have lost their jobs, economic crises will play out in these nascent kingdoms. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Ferdinand said worriedly: Well, the situation is probably more serious than this. Except for Europe's big 6, the world's economic situation is not ideal, unless governments can be like us, forcibly suppress the virtual economy and transfer funds. Invest in industry, otherwise this crisis is inevitable!\u00261t;/p\u003e

The big 6 in Europe is okay. The World War has just ended, and everyone has no idea of ​​what to do. The outbreak of the economic crisis will lead to chaos, but it is decided not to lead to war immediately. \u00261t;/p\u003e

It’s hard to say about the Americas 6. Under the joint efforts of everyone, there are already many contradictions between the newly independent American countries. \u00261t;/p\u003e

1. Several southern states (Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana) formed the Kingdom of South America, seemingly to restore the plantation economy again. \u00261t;/p\u003e

2. Washington, Oregon, and Idaho on the Pacific coast also jointly formed the North Pacific Kingdom. \u00261t;/p\u003e

3. California joined with Nevada and Utah to form the South Pacific Kingdom. \u00261t;/p\u003e

4. The states of Montana and Wyoming united to form the United Kingdom of Montwye. \u00261t;/p\u003e

5. Arizona joined Colorado and New Mexico to form the Southwest Kingdom. \u00261t;/p\u003e

6. Texas and Oklahoma are united to form the United Kingdom of Germany and Russia. The name is very domineering. Fortunately, it is only the union of two American states. If Germany and Russia are united, it is estimated that the whole world will be bombed. pot. \u00261t;/p\u003e

6. Minnesota joins South Dakota and North Dakota to form the Dakosota United Kingdom. \u00261t;/p\u003e

7. Missouri, Kansas, Nong Iwa, Nebraska, these four states joined together to form the Middle Kingdom. \u00261t;/p\u003e

8. Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts (Massachusetts), Rhode Island, Connecticut, and the six states united to form the Kingdom of New England. \u00261t;/p\u003e

9. New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Washington, D.C., to form the Atlantic Kingdom. \u00261t;/p\u003e

1o, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, these four states united to form the North American Kingdom. \u00261t;/p\u003e

11. Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin in the Great Lakes region form the Great Lakes Commonwealth. \u00261t;/p\u003e

12. Ariska became an independent state and established the Kingdom of Ariska. \u00261t;/p\u003e

13. The Hawaiian Islands will also be established independently and form the Kingdom of Hawaii. \u00261t;/p\u003e

It was originally planned that Britain, France and the three countries would divide up Hawaii. Unfortunately, Ferdinand’s attitude has not been positive, and the interest of the French is limited. Obviously, neither country intends to make large investments in places far away from the mainland. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Seeing this, the British simply let Hawaii become independent. The three kingdoms on the east coast are enough for them to work on, and they don't have that much energy to control Hawaii. \u00261t;/p\u003e

There is no doubt that these new kingdoms, except for the three held by George V, are all vacant. According to American practice, they will not be able to elect a king for two or three years. \u00261t;/p\u003e

The armies of various countries have been withdrawn from the Americas for six consecutive years. It is easy to divide a country, but it is difficult to reunite it again. \u00261t;/p\u003e

This split in the United States is mostly based on religious beliefs, ethnic distribution, geographical environment, and other factors, and the British are the chief directors this time. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Creating contradictions seems to be John Bull's innate talent. Now that many kingdoms and people have been opposed to each other, I have to say that Niu Niu is really good at this aspect. \u00261t;/p\u003e

With the emergence of tariffs, this situation will be even worse, the coastal countries will become richer, and the inner 6 countries will become poorer. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Constantine thought for a while and said, Your Majesty, should we intervene? The current international situation is not conducive to our economic development. Bulgaria also needs a stable world in the next ten years!\u00261t;/p\u003e

Ferdinand smiled and said: I think the British should be more worried?\u00261t;/p\u003e

Their problems are bigger than ours. The domestic unemployment problem needs to be solved urgently. The three kingdoms of America are not so easy to digest. It seems that their colonies are not peaceful! \u00261t;/p\u003e

There are so many problems, the London government is now estimated to be blind, if the international environment is not peaceful, their position of world hegemony will be unstable! ”\u00261t;/p\u003e

Foreign Minister Metev said suddenly: Yes, Your Majesty, the three Atlantic kingdoms are fighting for their rights with the London government to contain most of his British energy.\u00261t;/p\u003e

There is also the colonial independence movement. Influenced by the October Revolution, the communist party manifesto has now spread all over the world, and chaos has occurred in many areas controlled by the British. The most troublesome thing for the London government is India! ”\u00261t;/p\u003e

Constantine asked with interest: Is there an uprising in India?\u00261t;/p\u003e

Metev replied immediately: No, there are just a lot of strike movements, and now their main leader is the Congress Party, and there is a guy named Gandhi who has come up with a movement called 'Non-violent Non-cooperation'! ”\u00261t;/p\u003e

Constantine asked suspiciously: Non-violence and non-cooperation? What is this, is he calling on Indians not to do business with the British?\u00261t;/p\u003e

Ferdinand was also surprised. He did not expect the non-violent non-cooperation movement to start so early, but it is impossible to expect India to cause trouble for Britain. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Unless there is another great uprising in India, such a movement cannot shake the statistical basis of the British! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Metev explained: This is a new idea that has just emerged. The Indians think that as long as they don't cooperate with the British, they don't work for the British, they don't pay taxes to the British, and in the end there is no benefit, the British will Leave by yourself.\u00261t;/p\u003e

They think this is the best way to avoid casualties and expel the colonists, so as soon as this idea was proposed, it was supported by the Indian people! ”\u00261t;/p\u003e

Constantine thought for a while and said: The world is so big, there are so many wonders! Some people can think of such a genius idea!\u00261t;/p\u003e

But if the Indians can really hold on for a while, it will be enough for the British to suffer! ”\u00261t;/p\u003e

Ferdinand suddenly said: It's useless, if it's a real sword, now is the weakest period for the British, maybe they can really gain independence.\u00261t;/p\u003e

Non-violence and non-cooperation, as long as the British bribe some people, the hearts of the people will be scattered, and if they cannot work together, this idea will be abandoned! \u00261t;/p\u003e

The most important thing in India is people. The big deal is that the factory will fire all these strikers and recruit new ones. They won't be able to make trouble for long! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Now it depends on the ability of the Moscow government to export revolution. If they work hard, they may be able to mobilize the spirit of resistance of the Indians! ”\u00261t;/p\u003e

Metev thought for a while and said, Yes, Your Majesty! At present, some of them have cooperated with the British, and they have reached an agreement with the capitalists that they will work half a day, or every other day, and go to strike demonstrations at other times. !\u00261t;/p\u003e

Government employees are even more bizarre. They have to finish what they have to do every day, and then go to participate in the non-violent non-cooperation movement! ”\u00261t;/p\u003e

Constantine said in surprise: This is also possible?\u00261t;/p\u003e

Ferdinand said with a wry smile: They have to eat too!\u00261t;/p\u003e

What will happen to the lives of so many people participating in the non-violent non-cooperation movement? Does the Congress Party still have the ability to support them? \u00261t;/p\u003e

One or two months may be able to persist, as time goes on, ordinary people are forced to make a living and must cooperate with the British unless they can find other jobs! ”\u00261t;/p\u003e

Ferdinand finally understood why the Indians had been able to keep the non-violent non-cooperation movement for so long. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Historically, from March 1919 to February 1922, millions of people went on strike for nearly three years. How did they persevere? Why can the British tolerate them making trouble? And for three years, there has been no major chaos in India? \u00261t;/p\u003e

At the beginning of the 20th century, the working class did not have much savings to be able to go on strike for three years without starving to death. At that time, there was no working class in any country in the world with such wealth. \u00261t;/p\u003e

And the British factories in India are even more unlikely to go bankrupt on a large scale in the event of a general strike! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Constantine rubbed his forehead, and said rascally, Well, I can't understand the Indians, but it has nothing to do with us. It's the British prison there, and whoever touches them will fight with whomever they touch! So now we Just do nothing and wait for the UK to come to your door?\u00261t;/p\u003e

Ferdinand shook his head and said: No, we must do one thing, first provide the Germans with one million tons of grain, which is our original promise!\u00261t;/p\u003e

Everyone laughed. It's true that Bulgaria and Germany also have an agreement. In order to attract German scientists and technicians, it is natural to ask the German government to cooperate. The price is one million tons of grain every year. \u00261t;/p\u003e

In order to make these people work with peace of mind, Bulgaria has never discounted the one million tons of food aid every year, which is why Germany has been able to persist so far. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Metev said embarrassedly: Your Majesty, do we need to deliver in advance? You know that there are still more than three months in this year, do you need to be in such a hurry?\u00261t;/p\u003e

Ferdinand thought for a while and said, It doesn't matter, we can allow the Germans to pay in advance. As long as they are full, they will have the strength to produce more industrial products, and then hit the British and French markets more powerfully! /p\u003e

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs can negotiate with the Weimar government to see if it can increase the number of talents introduced, and we can provide more food aid. In this regard, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can discuss with them as appropriate! ”\u00261t;/p\u003e

Like the American Dawes plan, Bulgaria has also formulated a plan for Britain and France, which is a food aid plan for Germany, and it is also a talent introduction plan for Germany! \u00261t;/p\u003e

That is: while introducing German technical talents, provide food aid to Germany, try to keep the German society as good as possible, and use the cheap industrial and commercial products produced by the Germans to attack the British and French industries. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Of course, there are similar plans for Italy, but the Italians do not seem to buy it. They are not as active as the Germans in the production of industrial products, but they have made a lot of achievements in the field of luxury goods! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Metev thought for a while and said, Yes! But Your Majesty, I am afraid this will arouse the vigilance of Britain and France. We are not sure whether they will interfere!\u00261t;/p\u003e

Ferdinand said without hesitation: As long as people come to Bulgaria, what if they want to interfere?\u00261t;/p\u003e

We have provided food to Germany and maintained the stability of German society. They have a lot of cheap goods to use. What's wrong? \u00261t;/p\u003e

Even if the British and French governments want to interfere, they have to pass the domestic consortium first. Are these consortia still waiting for German industrial products to make money? Do politicians dare to cut off people's wealth? ”\u00261t;/p\u003e

The best strategy is always a conspiracy! Even if they know what Bulgaria is doing, it is malicious, but the capitalists will still cooperate with their actions for the sake of profit! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Historically, the American economic aid to Germany is far more exaggerated than this. That is simply to rearm Germany and challenge the world again! \u00261t;/p\u003e

And Bulgaria's food plan is far less harmful. At most, it only hits the British and French industries. Is it far from breaking the world order? \u00261t;/p\u003e

...\u00261t;/p\u003e
