Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Chapter 143, Conflict + Cursing (2 in 1 large chapter)

In 1928, the world was still not peaceful, the war in Southeast Asia was still burning, and the Afghans were still fighting with the British.

The chaotic war in Central America is still going on, and the battles at the village and town level are maintained every day. There are no small battles in the big battles.

Both Paraguay and Bolivia are landlocked countries, and the two sides have been fighting over the Northern Chaco for many years.

The reason is very simple. North Chaco has a river that leads to the Atlantic Ocean, the Picomayo River.

Whoever gets the North Chaco will be able to flow into the Paraguay River through the Picomayo River, and there will be a passage to the sea.

Originally, the relationship between the two countries was very tense because of the problem of access to the sea. At this critical time, the Bulgarian Petroleum Company discovered oil in the North Chaco, and the reserves were still very amazing.

Now Paraguay and Bolivia can't sit still, it's a windfall!

Bolivia ecstatic?

Paraguay is equally ecstatic!

Paraguay and Bolivia are in similar predicaments. One is the need for access to the sea, and the other is the need for resources.

North Chaco has a canal leading to the sea, and now oil has been discovered. Do you think these two poor countries can sit still?

Bolivia's reason is: the North Chaco area was originally part of the Spanish colony of Bolivia, and now that Bolivia is independent, North Chaco is of course a part of Bolivia.

Paraguay said: Count yourself, how many Bolivians are there? None of your people are here, so why do you say it is your territory?

And our ancestors had herded sheep here long ago. According to the principle of first-come-first-served international practice, this is of course the territory of Paraguay.

While wrangling, the two countries developed oil in their respective control areas.

The discovery of oil in the Northern Chaco area is like a piece of fat, attracting hungry wolves from the international capital market. Under the influence of external forces, the two sides began to fight.

No one has too much oil resources! As the first Bulgarian Petroleum Company to enclose land in this place, naturally it cannot retreat. Bulgaria is also a world power, who is afraid of whom?

Now it's Ferdinand's turn to have a headache, who should he support?

As an oil giant, this essential standing in line is definitely indispensable.

But the problem is that Bulgaria really has no way to compare with the British in terms of strength on the South American continent. Of course, it is not something that the two small countries of Paraguay and Bolivia dare to provoke.

Well, neither the Bulgarian government nor the London government has made a statement yet. The oil companies have already acted. According to their respective interests, the Bulgarian oil company supports Bolivia, and the British oil company supports Paraguay.

This issue, let's kick the ball to the League of Nations. Our government is not suitable to directly participate in it! Ferdinand thought for a while and said

Sure enough, all capitalists have no morals, and Ferdinand is no exception. He pretended that nothing had happened when the subordinates caused such a big incident.

There is no way, this is the case in this era, if you do business honestly, you will only die in international competition!

It stands to reason that the oil field was first discovered by the Bulgarian Petroleum Company, and it also bought the ownership in Bolivia, so it belongs to the Bulgarian Petroleum Company.

As a result, BP stepped in again. They approached the Paraguayan government, which had a territorial dispute with Bolivia, and bought the ownership of the area.

Then the two countries can only start a fight, one product is sold to two owners, how is this possible?

Let's talk about the fight first, and the rest of the matter is not over yet. The oil companies of the British and Bulgarian countries will continue to wrangle.

As for these two living treasures, why they dare to be so awesome is entirely because they are landlocked countries, even if Yingbao wants to settle accounts with them, it is not so easy.

Ferdinand didn't bother to ask what would happen to the outcome of the war. Anyway, he had nothing to worry about right now. Apart from selling some ammunition, he couldn't do anything else.

Your Majesty, with our support, Bolivia has a great chance of winning,

It's such a pity to give up such a good opportunity for nothing! Megeve thought for a while and said

Taking this opportunity to reach out to South America and expand the influence of Bulgaria, it looks very good, and the success of the operation is also very high.

Ferdinand was also a little hesitant, do you want to try it?

Your Majesty, even if it's better to do it secretly, anyway, now that both sides are fighting, it won't stop immediately when it comes to the League of Nations.

We only need to provide Bolivia with a loan, plus a security endorsement, to ensure that no big country will directly participate in it! Constantine suggested

Well, let's try! At the same time, warn Argentina to stop supporting all activities in Paraguay! Ferdinand thought for a while and said

It seems that there is no risk. Even if you suffer a loss here, you can get it back elsewhere. This is a common thing in international politics.

One of their temptations decided that what was originally a war between Bolivia and Paraguay had evolved into a battle between Bulgaria and Britain.

As Bulgaria's international influence grows, it faces more and more situations like this. The contradictions between big countries are actually accumulated bit by bit.

...

Your Majesty, this is our Ministry of Education. Please have a look at the new plan for education reform! Chekov took out a stack of materials and said

Ferdinand took it and flipped through it page by page. The document was not thick and only had four or five pages. It seemed that the intensity of the reform would not be too great.

What do you mean by establishing a mobile school? Ferdinand asked suspiciously

Your Majesty, the main consideration is the education of the workers' children. In many factories set up in the colonies, the workers are still from our own country.

Because of education problems, their children have to stay in their home country, and many people have their children boarded in nursery schools.

Being away from parents for a long time is not conducive to the education of the next generation, so we are going to set up mobile schools to solve the education problems of their children.

As long as the factory has reached a certain scale, it can apply to the government to build a local school. The government will bear 60% of the required funds, the enterprise will bear 20%, and the workers themselves will bear 20%! ’ Chekhov explained

It's a good idea, but let's erase the workers' share! Now Bulgaria implements compulsory education. Since all citizens are free, it makes no sense to be an exception in the colonies! Ferdinand thought for a while and said

Bulgaria's education system is also unique in the world. In theory, everyone can finish college without spending a penny, provided that you can pass the exam.

The admissions system is also a unified standard, and everything is based on grades. Including the stage of compulsory education, except for the first two years of elementary school, the school is determined by lottery, and the exam is enough after that.

Educational resources are also good and bad, and it is impossible to distribute them fairly, so we can only try to be fair to everyone and give everyone a chance to improve. The strong go up and the weak go down, which is the current system.

Those who can't get into college can still finish college with money, but the tuition fee is not close to the people, and the graduation certificate is not easy to get.

This was prepared by Ferdinand for class solidification. Once the class in Bulgaria is stabilized in the future, it will be difficult for ordinary people to climb up.

Relying on one's own strength to pass the exam is the most reliable way for ordinary people to use knowledge to change their destiny.

It is somewhat similar to the ancient imperial examination system, but not exactly the same.

The purpose is to break the monopoly of the class, but Bulgaria trains not officials, but scientific researchers.

Interested classes will suppress groups that threaten them, so the imperial examination system eventually failed, and a bunch of nerds were cultivated.

But they will not suppress the group of scientists. There is no life-and-death conflict among them. They will not mind the faster development of science and technology to create a better life for them.

Yes, Your Majesty! Chekov replied

It’s fine if it’s waived, and the big deal is to ask the Ministry of Finance for money. Anyway, the number is not very big.

School holiday reform, you plan to increase the holidays for students and reduce the time for military training, why? Ferdinand asked with a frown

Your Majesty, our domestic military training starts with elementary school students, which takes up a lot of their study time and is not conducive to their growth.

It was done for the sake of national security at the beginning, and there was no other way to do it. Now that the country is strong and external threats are gone, there is no need to continue.

The Ministry of Education plans to integrate with the international education system and normalize education! ’ Chekhov explained

I want to know, which idiot came up with this idea? Ferdinand hit without reservation

In line with international education? Take a hairy track?

From the perspective of high-level education achievements, the number of scientists trained in Bulgaria is the largest in the world.

Of course, the number of politicians, capitalists, and talkative experts trained is far behind that of Britain and France, which is determined by the education model.

No matter how you look at it, it is Bulgaria's education system, which is more conducive to the development of the country. Now they are actually turning the wheel of history and going back to connect with them? Isn't it mentally ill?

Don't look at Bulgaria's military training courses, in fact, children are not repelled. What can elementary school students learn in military training?

In addition to standing in a military posture and cultivating collective consciousness, the rest of the time is basketball, football, badminton, table tennis, high jump and long jump...

In fact, I am still playing, but I have increased the amount of exercise and exercised a good body.

Now compress the time of these courses and take them out for vacation. You don't have to think about it at all, you know what kind of effect is better.

What kind of nature should be cultivated, quality education or something?

It’s enough to fool people around a bit. Don’t think that learning to paint, sing, and dance is an excellent talent. In fact, in the future life, it’s better to leave them with a good body.

Chekov was stunned, speechless for a long time, he did not expect that Ferdinand would be so angry, isn't it just to integrate with international education? As for such a big reaction?

Mr. Chekhov, tell me, which country has the highest rate of success in the final education results of all countries in the world? Ferdinand asked with a gloomy face

Your Majesty, we have no intention to change the current education model, but to reduce the children's learning pressure during the compulsory education stage. Chekov said hesitantly

But you are not reducing the pressure of study, you are ruining our next generation!

Don't forget, why is the average physical fitness of Bulgarians now the highest in the world?

It's all about our education system, from elementary school onwards, they have at least two hours a day, working out on the stadium.

More than ten years of hard work, rain or shine, has given our new generation of Bulgarian youths a strong body, and now you want to destroy it?

Mr. Chekhov, please tell me, do all the experts in your Ministry of Education grow up eating shit? Or is your leadership collectively out of their minds?

...

Ferdinand burst out a bunch of ugly words from his mouth like a cannonball, and hit Chekov head and face, without saving him any face.

There is no problem with education reform, but the reform should be reformed more and more, the better?

Ferdinand admitted that the current Bulgarian education model would kill unconstrained geniuses, but how many of these geniuses accounted for among the 60 million Bulgarians?

Maybe ten or twenty years, there won't be one person. Is it possible to change this set of education model that is suitable for most people for the sake of this possible person?

The development of a country cannot be supported by one or two scientists. It must rely on hundreds of thousands of scientific researchers, or even millions of scientific researchers.

In Ferdinand's view, these scientists are already very powerful in terms of the current technological inventions and innovations in Bulgaria.

Without any external force, Bulgaria's technological level is still at the forefront of the world, what else can it do?

Could it be possible to develop by leaps and bounds by training one or two abnormal scientists?

Obviously, this does not exist. The development of science and technology also needs the foundation of the lower layer. It is the most correct choice to climb forward step by step.

No matter how genius an individual is, the overall scientific and technological level of society cannot keep up, the performance of mechanical equipment is not up to standard, and no matter how genius the idea is, it cannot be turned into reality, and it is all equal to zero.

Just like the planet strategy proposed by scientists now, develop those planets in the universe.

Everyone knows that this is correct. For the sake of human development, this step must be taken. Unfortunately, the actual technology cannot keep up, and the strategy can only be a strategy on paper!

Cultivate capitalists, politicians, and talkative experts? Ferdinand said Bulgaria did not need these people.

Where is the population base of more than 60 million, even if no training is carried out, the number of these people will not be small, so why use special training?

Chekov was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to answer. As the education minister of a country, he was actually fooled by someone. It seemed to be a good policy, but in fact the consequences were very serious.

Once the grassroots education degenerates, can the top education not be affected?

Now it is a closed education, and everyone has a good learning atmosphere. For their own future and the future of their families, they are all studying hard.

Once out of the campus, don't expect these little ones to be able to resist so many temptations in society, this is unrealistic.

Ferdinand was deeply touched by the self-control of elementary school students.

The transformation from a good boy to a bad boy only takes a day or two. If the bad boy wants to become a good boy again, he may have to wait for the rest of his life.

Seemingly having scolded enough, Ferdinand said slowly, Okay, take the plan back and redo it!

Yes, Your Majesty! Chekov quickly replied

Sure enough, the subordinates still wanted to scold him! ——Ferdinand Quotations

Ferdinand was very skeptical. Chekhov was deliberately scolding him today for the simple reason of showing his presence.

For politicians, their faces are iron walls. Chekov used to be simple, but after so many years, he has long since become a fried dough stick.

There is a good saying - scolding you, it cares about you!

Being scolded by the king is something many people can't ask for, and there is nothing to be ashamed of. If Ferdinand stopped cursing, he could pack his bags and leave, that's politics!

Chekov's heart is broken, and he really didn't mean to scold him on purpose. As Ferdinand's direct descendant, does he need to have such a sense of presence?

You know, when he is in his current position, who would dare to ignore his existence? Is it worth asking for guilt?

So now he is unlucky, and soon many more people will be unlucky!

If he didn't discover such a big problem, it was his dereliction of duty. If so many people in the Ministry of Education didn't discover it, it was everyone's dereliction of duty.

Usually when this happens, someone will leave, and the person who bears the brunt is naturally the planner, and none of the relevant responsible persons will want to escape.

Otherwise, isn't the king's scolding for nothing? This is slapping Ferdinand in the face!

The king has said that the people who made this plan are idiots, then they are idiots, and a hat of incompetence cannot be taken off.
