Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Time passed in a hurry, and after more than half a year of tossing, Bulgaria finally successfully completed the handover of the Caucasus with the Russians.

How to manage the area has become a difficult problem in Ferdinand's mind.

Geographically, the Caucasus region is located between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea, surrounded by mountains, overlapping and extending for a long time.

There are small lakes between the mountains, the lake is green and quiet, and the waterfalls are dotted.

The scenery is very good, suitable for the development of tourism. Unfortunately, this is not the 21st century, so all these advantages have become disadvantages!

(Remarks: The Caucasus region covers an area of ​​about 440,000 square kilometers, now southwestern Russia and the northern regions of Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia)

From the perspective of resources, this is really good. The oil and natural gas resources are very rich, and the reserves of mineral resources such as coal, copper, tungsten, molybdenum, and tungsten are not small.

If you want to develop the local economy, you can only rely on mining in a short time, but before that, you must build roads.

Ferdinand is too lazy to complain about the traffic situation in Russia. At least now, the total mileage of railways in Bulgaria is twice that of the Russians, and the total mileage of roads is five times that of Russia.

To know the territorial area, Bulgaria is almost half the size of the Russians, and the traffic conditions of the Russians can be imagined.

To Ferdinand's relief, the local economy has been completely destroyed by the years of civil war, and a large number of young and young laborers have been recruited into the army, so there is no need to worry about rebellion.

At present, the population of the Caucasus region is about 5.8 million to 6.6 million, and they are basically the old, weak, sick and disabled, with only a small number of young adults.

However, the composition of this population is very complex, including Armenians, Russians, Azerbaijanis, Georgians, Nakhchos (Chechens), Galgai (Ingush), Avars, Darkins, Rezkins, Kurds, Balkars, Kabardians, Ukrainians, Ossetians…

With a population of five or six million, there are hundreds of ethnic groups. There is no major ethnic group. Except for the Russians, there is no other ethnic group with a population of more than 300,000.

Ferdinand was very speechless to find that he seemed to have helped Nicholas II to solve a big problem. The most violent republics in later generations were all taken over by Bulgaria.

For example: the Republic of Chechnya, the Republic of Ingushetia, the Republic of Dagestan, the Kabardino-Balkar Republic, the Republic of North Ossetia, etc.

Sure enough, I am still so helpful, and the future Russian Empire will no longer have to worry about these ethnic issues, Ferdinand thought to himself.

The more complex the ethnic composition, the more difficult it is to rule, and the easier it is to be assimilated by Bulgaria.

The Armenians, Russians, and Ukrainians here are the easiest to assimilate. Bulgaria is very experienced in this regard.

The closer the language and culture are and the same living habits, the easier it is to achieve ethnic integration, and they themselves will not resist such integration.

The most troublesome is the language barrier, religious and cultural differences, it is difficult for such people to be assimilated, or even impossible for ethnic integration.

Fortunately, the Russians have also worked hard for 180 years. Russian has become the local lingua franca, and the Orthodox Church has also become the local mainstream religion.

If all from scratch, it is estimated that Ferdinand would also be blinded. After all, in peaceful times, many radical methods cannot be used, and the natural assimilation makes it difficult for one generation to succeed, and the next generation cannot wait.

Little Ferdinand, can you tell me what is the main reason for the cabinet's plan to divide the Caucasus into two provinces and twenty-eight regions? asked the Ferdinand Examination School.

Little Ferdinand, who just returned to Sofia, was struck by lightning. Shouldn't he ask me about this trip to Europe at this time? At least ask, this trip to the Netherlands, right? Why don't you play cards according to common sense?

To check and balance! Little Ferdinand thought for a while and said

Wrong! It seems that this trip to Europe,

Your harvest is very ordinary! Ferdinand exclaimed.

Ah! Little Ferdinand exclaimed in confusion.

I have sent you all the briefings from the cabinet. According to the plan of the cabinet, most of the local residents will be evacuated to other places by cultivation practice, and then people from other areas will fill the vacancy.

Did you look carefully? The proportion of the local population has been diluted. In this case, is it necessary to check and balance the division of administrative regions?

As long as you open the map and look at the resource distribution and geographical conditions above, you can find that the division of administrative regions is entirely for the development of the local economy.

You can get it wrong with such a simple question, it's really not easy! Ferdinand said helplessly.

In order to get rid of the cumbersome government affairs as soon as possible, Ferdinand decided to cultivate several sons first. In particular, the Crown Prince Ferdinand Jr., as the future heir to Bulgaria, will take over these jobs sooner or later.

But, Father, I've been really busy recently. You should know how many banquets I've attended this trip to Europe and how many contacts I've made! Little Ferdinand explained.

Of course, but this has nothing to do with making wrong judgments, haven't I educated you?

When you don't understand the situation, you must first understand the situation, and don't make blind judgments based on your own subjective consciousness!

Is your imperial academic study in vain? All the lessons I have worked so hard to teach you have been dismissed as deaf ears? ' said Ferdinand angrily.

Oh, damn it! Dear father, you have to believe me, I am listening to the lectures every day, and there is absolutely no omission!

This time, it was mainly due to negligence. You know, I just traveled to Europe, and I haven't gotten over it yet! ' explained Ferdinand Jr.

Very well, this is what you said yourself, don't blame me for not giving you a chance, I will leave it to you to deal with the governance of the Caucasus.

If you can't come up with a plan that satisfies me, then maybe you are a high-ranking official in the two provinces of the Caucasus! ' Ferdinand thought for a while and said

No, sir, there will be an accident. Your son has no experience in serving in the local area. It is extremely irresponsible for us to preside over the work of a province!

In the event that you get out of the way, you still need to take care of the aftermath in the end, you don't need to ask for trouble at all! ' suggested Ferdinand Jr.

Well, indeed! You have no experience in the ruling party, it is indeed difficult to be in charge of the daily work of a province, or I will give you another place.

We also have a lot of colonies in Africa. If you go to the interior of Africa and serve as the governor of a certain place, there should be no trouble. Even if you turn all the local natives back, I can handle it. ! Ferdinand said calmly.

God! It would be better for me to go to the Caucasus as a high-ranking official. The African jungle is too scary. We haven't fully digested the place for so many years. I don't think I can do better!

Dear Father, do you want to watch your precious son die young? ' said little Ferdinand with a bitter face.

It's not that serious, I will match you with the best doctor, and at most let you lie in bed for ten days and a half months.

The mortality rate of people who are not acclimatized to the soil and water is still very low. We must know that among our local immigrants, less than 100 people died because of the soil and water.

Your body is so strong, how could it be so easy to die? Of course, if God is eager to see you, I have no choice!

If you don't want to go to a local office, you'd better give 100% of your energy in the later work. I don't want to hear such a momentary inadvertent explanation! Ferdinand struck.

Originally, he planned to train little Ferdinand to succeed him, but after a trip to the European continent, Ferdinand found that little Ferdinand had contracted a bad disease.

The whole person has swelled a lot. If he encountered a problem in the past, he would analyze it carefully. If he was not clear, he would also check the information. As a result, he has now started to draw conclusions directly based on his subjective consciousness.

It would be fine if he was an ordinary person, but as the heir of Bulgaria, this shortcoming is very fatal.

In order to correct his bad habit at the first time, Ferdinand decided to sharpen his temperament and send him to a local post. This was not a joke, but after careful consideration.

As for colonizing Africa, that's a joke of course.

Ferdinand didn't go crazy, and exiled the crown prince to a colony far away from the political center. Wasn't he full and supported, and he had too little trouble for himself?

Okay, but dear father, are you serious? Little Ferdinand asked worriedly

That's right, I decided to let you go to work in a local area, first to accumulate experience in governance, so as not to be fooled by others in the future. As for where to go, it depends on your own performance.

If your ability is really not up to the mark, then you can only go to the African colonies to toss, otherwise, if there is trouble in the country, I will not end well! ' said Ferdinand earnestly.

Little Ferdinand rubbed his eyes, looking incredulous. As for making such a fuss?

Even if it is experience, it can be done in China, right?

Go to Africa, are you sure that I am your own son, don't you want to change to a crown prince?

Of course, he only dared to complain about these words in his heart. If he said it, he would probably be hit even more severely.

Okay, dear father, you must be merciful. You only have a lovely eldest son like me. Those little guys are very naughty! Little Ferdinand thought for a while and said

Well, I will consider this issue carefully. You can rest assured that as a father, my first consideration is your safety, and I won't let you die. I don't want white-haired people, but black-haired people!

Ferdinand made another cut, breaking the illusion of little Ferdinand.

Dear father, I want to know if this is my test alone, or is my brother also going to pass this test? Little Ferdinand asked very seriously

Don't worry, I have always been a bowl of water. Since you were born, the education you have received is exactly the same, so none of you will be able to run this actual combat training. It's just that they are still young. later than you. Ferdinand replied

That's good! said little Ferdinand happily

Seems to be rejoicing at the five more hapless ones.

You must know that in continental Europe, these nobles are very strict about the education of the eldest son, and the education of the second son is much more relaxed.

In many noble families, the eldest son wants to fight for the future of the family, and the second son can be a happy rice borer just by sharing a fortune.

It was different when it came to Ferdinand. From the very beginning, all the sons received the same education. If they wanted to be happy rice borers, it was a wrong birth.

When little Ferdinand was secretly happy, Ferdinand added another sentence.

Although they are treated equally, as the Crown Prince, I demand 90 points for you, and only 60 points for them!

Little Ferdinand, you have to do your best, I remember that you have achieved scores in several subjects, all of which have been broken by your younger brothers. What is the majesty of your brother in the long run?

In the face of Ferdinand's blow, little Ferdinand has become immune. It is unfair to fight against five by one. Everyone has their own areas of expertise.

In terms of total credits, his eldest brother still maintained the first place and was not surpassed, otherwise his brother's majesty would really be lost.

However, my father, are you sure there's nothing wrong with doing this? I'm getting married soon, don't you want to hold a grandson? Little Ferdinand asked reluctantly.

I don't think it's a problem!

With Bulgaria's current fastest plane, it won't take long to get from Sofia to Africa, and I can escort you with an air division.

So you still make plans honestly, don't think about these crooked attention!

Remember that you only have one week. If you want to check the information, you can find it yourself. Anyway, you can contact all the secrets of Bulgaria! Ferdinand interrupted his last hope.

Well, my dear father, I will not let you down! said little Ferdinand with courage

There is quite a bit of a loser's posture, which is similar to Ferdinand's temperament before crossing, and he is strong even if he is unreasonable.
