Mediterranean Hegemony Road

How to govern the Caucasus is difficult for Ferdinand the Younger. Although he has been exposed to political affairs for a long time, it is the first time to formulate a practical governance plan.

The more information he saw, the more difficult he felt. It seems to be an unsolvable problem to take into account all the economic, political and military affairs.

But he didn't think that Ferdinand would make such a big joke with him. Since this question has been asked, it must be solved. Whether he can find the best answer can only rely on him.

Politically speaking, national integration is Bulgaria's most important national policy, no one.

Although the Caucasus region is vast and sparsely populated, it cannot hold many ethnic groups! There are more than 100 ethnic groups, large and small, which is simply an encyclopedia of Asian and European ethnic groups.

To integrate them all, this is the first trouble.

The biggest advantage is that the Russians have been doing assimilation work on the ground for 180 years.

Secondly, the factors of war caused serious losses to the local young and young labor force, and the local people were not too resistant to joining Bulgaria.

Little Ferdinand casually wrote two words on the paper - marriage!

This one, the Bulgarian government is already doing, whether it relocates the local population or the people who move into other areas, they all have the intention of encouraging them to marry.

Economically, Ferdinand Jr. simply chose to give up and wrote down on paper—mining.

There is no way to do this. Due to the limitations of local natural conditions, other than mining some precious mineral resources, other industries cannot develop.

After a pause, little Ferdinand added two more words - build roads.

It is very in line with Ferdinand's style. Basically, every time Bulgaria occupies an area, the first thing to do is to build roads.

Little Ferdinand was naturally influenced by him and attached great importance to the traffic problem.

Militarily, this area borders the Russian Empire, and there is no military threat in the short term.

But this does not mean that defense work is not important.

At the same time, because of the relationship between Bulgaria and Russia, the local defense work has become very complicated. That is, the Russians cannot be stimulated, and a solid defense fortification must be established.

Taking into account this special situation, Ferdinand Jr. wrote on paper—a small amount of troops, strengthening of transportation construction, and ensuring that the troops in the rear can be reinforced at any time.

That's it!

A policy plan with less than 50 words, if this is handed in, little Ferdinand will definitely be sprayed with nothing.

Therefore, the plan for governing a country does not lie in the formulation, but in the implementation!

The rhetorical plan for governing the country is used by politicians to fool the people and mix votes.

If you really do it, you will find that the bull's head is wrong, which will be very fatal!

How to ensure that this plan can be effectively implemented, this is the most troublesome problem for little Ferdinand, and it is also the real problem given by Ferdinand this time.

...

Your Majesty, the Dutch government has once again asked us for help! Metev said calmly

Oh, did the Dutch give up on the British this time? Or are they still waiting for the British winter offensive? Ferdinand asked with concern

It's not certain, but the Dutch people probably won't let them wait any longer, and they both lost a lot of money with the British.

Many people think that if the Kingdom of the Netherlands did not cooperate with the British to suppress the rebellion alone, the situation would be better than it is now!

Now the Dutch government has been red-eyed. In order to suppress the rebellion, they have spent 80 million pounds, which is their financial income for more than three years.

They proposed that if we can help them put down this rebellion, they can transfer half of Kalimantan (Borneo) to us, it seems that they do not intend to be neighbors with the British! ' Metev thought about it and said

Half of Kalimantan, how did the Dutch government suddenly become more generous this time?

I thought they would use the Maluku Islands to make up the numbers, or the Southwest Islands and Southeast Islands to deal with it! ' asked Ferdinand suspiciously.

Your Majesty, the economic value of Maluku Islands is more than five times that of Kalimantan,

How can the Dutch be willing? The Southwest Islands and Southeast Islands have been taken by the British!

It's the reward for helping them suppress the rebellion this time, and you know the result. The Dutch government now believes that the British intend to annex their Indian colonies, so they intend to introduce us to Borneo to check and balance the British. ' Metev explained

Ferdinand just felt that a group of grass and mud horses ran in his heart. The economic value of Maluku Islands is more than five times that of Borneo, so it is ten times that of half Borneo.

Sure enough, in different eras, the value of these resources is also different.

As a spice archipelago, the Maluku Islands are of extraordinary value. Even with the impact of the current industrial flavors, flavors still occupy a very important position in the world.

Although Borneo is the third largest island in the world, apart from being relatively rich in resources, the development is not very good. Even in the 1990s, the local population exceeded 9 million.

In this era, the population was only four or five million, and half of it was divided by the British. The area that fell into the hands of the Dutch actually became a chicken rib.

Of course, this refers to the economic value, mainly the gold mines that have been discovered. After so many years, almost all of them have been mined, and the rest are minerals that are difficult to mine.

From the perspective of strategic value, Borneo is located in the center of the South China Sea, which is very important.

This is also the reason why Ferdinand was surprised, but he quickly realized that the higher the strategic value, the hotter it would be for the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

The hand of the British has been stretched in, the Japanese are also eyeing it, and the fallen Kingdom of the Netherlands has no strength to defend it.

That is to say, once we get this half of Borneo, we must be neighbors with the British, and at the same time we must be wary of the Japanese ambitions, right? Ferdinand asked with concern.

Yes, Your Majesty! Metev thought for a while and said

Tell the Dutch that Bulgaria has no interest in Borneo, we only need a few sparsely populated islands and build a military port! Ferdinand said cautiously

The bait is good, but it is poisonous!

Bulgaria now has no energy to compete for hegemony in the Southeast Asian region. It is a very unwise move to occupy the central area of ​​the South China Sea at this time.

Instead, occupy a few sparsely populated islands and control strategic points.

Perhaps in the long run, the strategic value of Borneo occupies a very important part in Bulgaria's world strategy.

But now, it is only a purely investment project, and it is still an investment of ten or twenty years, and no economic return can be seen.

Yes, Your Majesty! But what should we do with the Dutch government's request for help? Metev asked hesitantly.

It is inconvenient for us to take action directly and recruit a mercenary to help the Dutch, but on the bright side, this force cannot have anything to do with us! Ferdinand thought for a while and said

It's not that Ferdinand is timid, but that in the era of nationalism, it is easy to form a deadly vengeance with the locals by interfering without authorization.

The population of the Southeast Asia region is over 100 million. Independence is a matter of time. There is no need for Bulgaria to carry this notoriety.

Lest a history book appear in the future, on a certain day in a certain year, Ferdinand the Great ordered the Bulgarian army to help the Kingdom of the Netherlands, suppressed the Indonesian national uprising, and brutally slaughtered XX~XXX innocent people.

If it was done by mercenaries, it has nothing to do with Bulgaria at all, even if it is bloody, it is all the Dutch's fault.

Nominally this army was recruited in the name of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. This war funding was also the money that the Kingdom of the Netherlands sold the islands in the South China Sea.

Bulgaria ostensibly does nothing but spend money on some sparsely populated islands.

In this case, ordinary people simply do not know Bulgaria's role in it. Even those in the know, there is no evidence to prove that the Bulgarian government directly participated in this operation, and this black history naturally does not exist.

After all, European countries have a long history of using mercenaries. In the First World War, a large number of mercenaries appeared. The Dutch had no problem using mercenaries.

In fact, if it were not for fear of bad political influence, it is estimated that the Dutch had already recruited mercenaries in the German region.

From Ferdinand's point of view, even if the Dutch recruited mercenaries in the German region at this time, the French would not treat them like that, and at most just verbally condemned them.

However, in this era, the French have too much influence on the European continent, and even the British have a little less right to speak on the European continent than them.

Your Majesty, there are several members of the Bulgarian military observation group. Is this not a problem? Chief of Staff Christoph asked with concern.

Of course, not only members of the Bulgarian military observation group can appear, even members of other countries' military observation groups can also appear.

As long as the members of this mercenary army do not have Bulgarian active duty officers and soldiers, it will be fine.

We can also make them more complicated intentionally, such as adding some retired officers and soldiers from Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia, Sweden and other countries.

The specific number of people, weapons and equipment, and troop formation have been researched and decided by your staff. This time it will be an actual combat training in the rainforest area! ' Ferdinand thought for a while and said

To help the Dutch settle the chaos, Ferdinand is not Mr. Churchill, so there is no need to consider so many political influences, and there is no need to mobilize all troops to bloom and launch an attack at the same time.

The Indonesian area is originally composed of a large group of islands, and it is completely possible to take advantage of the weakness that the rebels have no navy, one island, one island.

Although the speed is a little slower, but you can concentrate your superior forces and ensure victory!

If the British had been so steady at the beginning, the rebels on any island in Southeast Asia would not have been their combined enemy, and the rebellion had been suppressed by them long ago.
