Mediterranean Hegemony Road

The matter in Finland came to an end, and Ferdinand felt a lot more relaxed, but new troubles came again.

The Dutch are very shrewd. The Indonesian rebellion was basically suppressed, but the military expenditure to suppress the Indonesian rebellion was too high. The ammunition that was shot out was an astronomical sum for the Dutch government.

Therefore, they made a decisive choice, using half of Borneo as a dowry, which made the wedding look very beautiful.

In fact, the same as did not give, the rebels on the island have merged, and to suppress the rebellion, they must cooperate with the British.

The point is that Borneo has not yet been developed in this era, the current economic value of this land is not great, and the Dutch government did not have the strength to develop the local area, so it just threw out the hot potato.

In fact, as a dowry, it is still the private property of the crown prince. After the Bulgarian royal family takes over, even if the rebellion above is suppressed, it will not become part of the Godakhali family until Ferdinand's grandson inherits it.

In other words, this colony does not belong to the Bulgarian country, nor does it belong to the Godakhari family, but belongs to the private property of the daughter-in-law.

Now it's Ferdinand's turn to have a headache. If he gives up, will the Godakhari family still lose face?

If he was to rule the region, he would not be able to use the Bulgarian army for free, and could only rely on the royal family to pay for it, otherwise it would damage his reputation if it spread.

It just so happened that the mercenaries were still in Southeast Asia. It can be said that the Dutch calculated very accurately. Even if Bulgaria sent troops to suppress the rebellion on the island, it belonged to their interests and would not have much impact.

After all, the private territory of their crown prince will not restrict the business activities of Dutch capitalists on it.

Since the government has taken out the land, it naturally does not need to allocate funds, which is simply killing multiple birds with one stone.

If you know it, you know, the Dutch royal family still accepted the government's proposal. The reason is very realistic. The Dutch royal family has only one princess, while the Bulgarian royal family has a bunch of princes.

Obtaining such a large piece of land must be cost-effective in the long run. As for the issue of development, isn't there still the Bulgarian royal family?

Everyone knows that the resources in the hands of the Bulgarian royal family are very sufficient, but this does not mean that they cannot be used up. It is difficult to say where they will be used.

Although Ferdinand Jr. is the eldest son and will inherit the most resources, Boris is now the Grand Duke of Finland, and they also know that the Bulgarian royal family is still operating the American throne.

These all need to consume political resources, network resources and economic resources. If too much is consumed in these places, then the resources inherited for little Ferdinand will be reduced.

Little Ferdinand's resources are reduced, so how much resources can Juliana, the future queen, get?

That being the case, it is better to take advantage of the current opportunity to share a share of resources from the Bulgarian royal family.

No matter how much resources Ferdinand has invested in the development of Borneo, Princess Juliana is the biggest beneficiary, and the Queen of the Netherlands will naturally strive for the greatest benefits for her daughter.

Sure enough, political marriage is not easy. For Ferdinand, it is very uneconomical to consume a lot of political resources for half of Borneo, so he can only throw money into it.

This is not a problem, he can still afford this little money. The problem is that now there is only half of Borneo in hand, but the rebels have already merged.

Either clean up all the rebels together, or wait for the British to act together, and everyone will act together.

The third option is to directly buy half of Borneo from the British.

Little Ferdinand, how do you think this half of Borneo should be dealt with now? Ferdinand asked

Bad!

Borneo is located in Southeast Asia, and it is too far away from Bulgaria. Even if we start from the Arabian Peninsula, the distance is not close. It is not so easy to control this area!

Secondly, the cost of development is also a problem. What we lack now is not colonies, but the problem of development.

It is our established national policy to concentrate resources on developing World Island first.

It is impossible for the royal family to change because of this. The government is unable to invest a lot of resources in it. It all depends on the investment of royal family resources, and many people have tried to get Ukraine next door.

We can also turn it into the private property of the royal family, and it is not difficult to control it right under our noses. Little Ferdinand analyzed

The biggest problem is the cost of development. On the surface, Borneo seems to be rich in resources, but in fact, Bulgaria does not play a big role now.

In terms of return on investment, Ferdinand Jr. would rather choose the Ukrainian region, and the two sides are simply not comparable.

You mean to give up the area temporarily? However, you asked Juliana if she meant it, and would it affect your relationship? Ferdinand asked with concern

Father, I think this problem is easy to solve. Investment is also about return. As long as we invest some resources symbolically, she can't say anything!

We can't let us throw tens of billions in this barren land, right? So how long will it take to recover the cost? How should the population problem be solved? Little Ferdinand thought for a while and said

Well, then I will leave this issue to you. Borneo is sparsely populated, and it is impossible for Bulgaria to send out so many immigrants to fill that bottomless pit.

If the Kingdom of the Netherlands can provide three to five million immigrants, it is not impossible to develop the local area. Now it is enough to control a few major cities. The specific situation depends on you. Ferdinand thought for a while and said

There are not many local aboriginals in Borneo. In theory, as long as three to five million immigrants, they can gain local dominance and carry out a certain degree of development.

In fact, it is not feasible at all. Unless the population of Bulgaria more than doubles, there will be no people at all.

Not to mention the Kingdom of the Netherlands, if there are three to five million immigrants, they can all move the whole country.

If it can be done, it is estimated that the Kingdom of the Netherlands has been relocated long ago. Don’t think that politicians cannot see the development potential of the Nanyang region. It is also a good choice to dominate Southeast Asia.

On the other hand, in continental Europe, the Kingdom of the Netherlands is just such a random place, living in fear every day, walking a tightrope politically, and being hanged and beaten by a powerful country if it is not good.

In history, the Dutch were also awesome, and the sea coachman was not called for nothing. Unfortunately, the enemy came from the land, and the homeland was damaged.

Father, how do we deal with the British issue? If we want to deal with the Borneo issue, we cannot avoid the British. Now the Dutch government will definitely not intervene. What kind of name do we use to contact the British? Ferdinand Jr. frown and say

In theory, the area is the private property of the Crown Prince of the Netherlands, and it is enough to show up as the Dutch royal family. But the crown prince of the Netherlands is also the princess of Bulgaria, and it is also possible to negotiate with the British in the name of the Bulgarian royal family.

Now is not the Middle Ages, the era of negotiating with a country in the name of the royal family has passed.

It must be in the name of the government to be more convincing, and this problem is a headache.

The Dutch government will definitely not come forward, and the Dutch royal family may not be able to make them obedient, so the Bulgarian government will be involved.

For little Ferdinand, this is also a troublesome matter. It needs to consume a certain amount of political resources, and he seems a little bit worth the candle.

Establish a colonial government, contact the British in their name, the British are busy now, wait to contact them again!

Don't take military action now, until the British send troops to Borneo, we will act again. Ferdinand thought for a while and said

The British wanted to quickly suppress the rebellion, which was forced by domestic political pressure, and Bulgaria did not have this problem.

It was not lost in their hands in the first place, even if it became the dowry of the princess, in the eyes of many people, this is also the domain of the Dutch.

In Europe, the property of husband and wife is divided very clearly. If Ferdinand's feelings were not taken into account, Ferdinand could pretend not to know and not ask this question.

According to European rules, Princess Juliana can ask Ferdinand for help on this issue, and he is also obliged to help.

There is no direct relationship with the older generation like Ferdinand. It is love if you are willing to help, and it is duty if you are not willing to make a move.

Well, I understand father! Little Ferdinand said

Ferdinand smiled slightly, and finally got rid of this trouble without affecting the harmony of the family.
