Mediterranean Hegemony Road

? Affected by the economic crisis, the number of people who committed suicide this year has hit a record high. The number of suicides in the world cannot be counted, but the number of suicides in Britain and France has exceeded 100,000, far exceeding normal years.

The tricks of suicide are also jumping out and not desperately. There are those who commit suicide by jumping into the sea, jumping off the building, hanging themselves, shooting themselves, and even more strange things may be that they are stupid in reading and choose to commit suicide by drinking bullets.

The bullet was swallowed, but it was a pity that the person did not die immediately, the pain was unbearable, and he was unable to seek medical treatment, so he had to commit suicide again.

London's Tower Bridge, Waterloo Bridge, Paris' Eiffel Tower, California's Suicide Bridge, and Japan's Mihara Crater have all become famous suicide sites, and the governments of the two countries were forced to close these tourist sites.

It can be said that this economic crisis has directly brought many countries into the era of negative population growth ahead of schedule. Everyone is overwhelmed. Who cares about having children?

Now that someone commits suicide, it is no longer news. If no one commits suicide one day, it will be considered news.

The whole world is full of mourners. At this time, no one is talking about bailing out the market anymore, and everyone doesn't know how to rescue the market.

The fictitious economy was originally blown out. After the bubble burst, many people discovered what a lot of so-called high-quality companies were!

No matter how great the development potential is, the market capacity is limited in essence, and it is impossible to grow without limit.

Looking back now, everyone suddenly realizes that most of the so-called high-quality companies have been hollowed out, leaving only leftovers.

Capitalists are not stupid. With their information advantage, they are still one step ahead of ordinary people in the face of crisis. In this era, there is no international pursuit of criminals. When the bubble bursts, there should not be too many people who donate money and escape!

Find any country to immigrate to, who knows them? Change to another place, and then continue to spend time and drink, and the real ones left are a group of scapegoats.

If the disasters of Britain and France are still to be blamed, then Germany and Italy are innocent disasters, which were brought on by Britain and France.

Since the United Kingdom announced the increase in tariffs, a large number of foundries have announced their closure at the same time. In just one day, Germany has added 5 million unemployed workers. Naturally, this day cannot be passed.

Immediately afterwards, countries all over the world have increased tariffs one after another, as if only by increasing tariffs can they save the market.

Germany and Italy have become the biggest victims.

The industrial powers in Europe altogether protect the six countries of Britain, France, Germany, Austria and Italy, among which Germany and Italy both have huge amounts of war reparations to pay.

Over the years, all the wealth created by the two countries has been used to repay debts.

Coupled with the rise of Bulgaria, it has seized the advantages of the Germans in the field of machinery manufacturing, and now Germany has also become a primary industrial country.

Except for the production of some ordinary commodities, they are no longer seen in the high-tech field. Without the input of American capital, the Germans naturally have no money to invest in research and development.

After more than ten years of standing still, the Germans have completely fallen behind the times in the fields of machinery manufacturing, medical chemical industry, and metallurgy.

In the face of crisis, they, like the Italians, have no ability to resist risks, and the result is naturally tragic.

Germany and Italy have become the countries with the highest unemployment rates in the world and the most chaotic countries in Europe. A large number of unemployed people seriously threaten the normal operation of the country.

Looking at the information, Ferdinand frowned. The historical data now even have no reference value. Italy's Mussolini is not yet the leader of the country, but now he is just a member of the unemployed army.

Well, whether this is the Mussolini in history has yet to be verified. There are 180 people with this name in the whole of Italy, right? Ferdinand's memory is not that good, so naturally he can't tell the difference.

The idea of ​​spicy and crispy has appeared and has begun to spread in the world, but there are no successful examples, and it has not yet become popular. It is impossible to beat Europe like it did in history.

Ferdinand didn't know where the legendary head of state Citler was. The main reason is that he hasn't joined his little friend yet, and there are too many people with this name in Germany. Before the Spicy Vegetables party came out, it was really difficult to tell them apart.

Besides, Ferdinand still remembered that he seemed to be an Austrian, and now that the Habsburg family is still there, even if he wanted to go to Germany, it was still a question of whether they would allow him to become a German citizen!

The current relationship between Germany and Austria is not much better than the relationship between Germany and France.

After the unremitting efforts of both parties, the Austrians now believe that the defection of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is to avenge the Prussian-Austrian hatred of the year.

They believe that the Austria-Hungary Empire had no intention of launching a world war, and the easing of the relationship between Austria and Russia and Austria is a proof that they were dragged into the battlefield by the Germans.

They all helped the Germans fight for free for two years, and suffered millions of casualties.

The Germans don’t think so. If there was no betrayal of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the last moment, they would not have lost so badly. At that time, the Allied Powers also suffered heavy losses, and Russia broke out in a civil war. If everyone worked together, they could still end the war with dignity. of!

It is this difference in stance that makes it impossible to normalize the relationship between the two countries. Even after the end of the World War, Austria-Hungary tried to annex parts of South Germany.

From the perspective of the Germans, if it weren't for the support of the British, and Bulgaria didn't want the Austro-Hungarian Empire to grow bigger, South Germany would almost have to be named Austria.

Looking at the world map, Ferdinand let go of his hanging heart. It wasn't that he looked down on the Germans, but that it was really not suitable for them to perform at this time.

At this time, even if Germany is unified, its comprehensive national strength is only five or six levels of the Third Reich in history, but the enemies they face are several times that in history.

Not to mention Italy, France annexed 18% of their territory, Britain annexed 9% of their territory, and Bulgaria also occupied 3% of their territory. A piece of territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was also obtained, which was also lost in this period.

In terms of territory, the Kingdom of Italy lost at least 35%, and in terms of population, they lost at least 40%. War and starvation are also fatal.

Industry can be ignored. Even if Britain and France transfer industrial capacity, they will not go to Italy to develop heavy industry in a foolish way. Now that light industry factories are closed, there is nothing left.

The comprehensive national strength is less than half of that of the same period in history, and even if they want to do something now, they don't have that strength.

Your Majesty, Germany and Italy declared financial bankruptcy at the same time, and the troubles of Britain and France are coming again! Megeve said excitedly

Originally, the economies of Britain and France have been hit hard, and many people are still waiting for the compensation from Germany and Italy to come to the pot? At this time, they announced that they had reneged on their debts. What should these people do?

Nominally, whether it is the debts of the Russian Empire or the claims of Germany and Italy, they are all in the hands of the banking institutions of Britain and France, but in fact this is not the case.

In order to share risks, banking institutions have prepared bonds and sold them to ordinary people.

Normal years are fine, and every year, part of the money can be received from the indemnities of Germany and Italy as investment income.

Once you run into a bad debt, you will lose all your money. Especially during the economic crisis, many people are unemployed and just waiting for the money to support their lives. At this time, they have nothing.

This is what was expected. Britain and France have played a role in breaking their wrists and passed the unemployment crisis on to Germany and Italy. What else can they use to repay their debts?

If nothing else, the French will be able to emerge from the economic crisis next year.

The domestic industrial production capacity of the French is already very low, and the colonies and local markets they control can basically absorb this part of the production capacity.

The British are in big trouble. If the capitalists in the three North American countries do not cut their meat, their industrial production capacity will still be in excess, and the London government will cry. Ferdinand said gloatingly.

In the face of economic crisis, the colonial army is the best flood relief weapon, but the purchasing power of the colony is not strong?

Years of exploitation, no matter how wealthy a place is, there will be a day when it will be drained dry!

There are no three North American countries in history. John Bull can easily survive the economic crisis, but it will not work at this time. The industrial production capacity has at least doubled compared with the same period in history.

It won't work even halfway down? But the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, where should the knife be used? It is estimated that the MacDonald government is still struggling with this issue.

Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, the outbreak of chaos between Germany and Italy is inevitable, and there may even be a civil war.

In order to get rid of the economic crisis, the British will even support Germany and Italy to challenge the European order. We must take action! Chief of Staff Christophe said.

This is indeed a problem, but the strength of the Italians is limited, and they are sandwiched between us and Britain, France, Austria and Hungary. Who do they have the strength to challenge?

Are you going to attack Switzerland? It's not that I look down on them. If there is a fight, the current Kingdom of Italy really can't beat Switzerland!

Things were not much better for the Germans, who wanted to challenge the European order, they wanted to fight a civil war, and once a civil war broke out, the situation would get out of hand.

The French and the Austro-Hungarian Empire will not allow them to reunite. At this time, they have to go back to the old path in history, fighting a Franco-Prussian war and a Prussian-Prussian war.

With the lessons from last time, neither France nor the Austro-Hungarian Empire will give them a chance to defeat them. Once it is discovered that the German central government has the possibility of unifying the country, the two countries will intervene.

At this time, even if the British made a clear-cut alliance with the Germans, they could not shake the determination of the two countries.

Would the Germans take the risk without a chance of success? It is estimated that even they themselves do not know this question!

Still, we can't take it lightly. Our navy has suppressed it for so many years, and now it's time to start working hard.

Let the Admiralty come up with a shipbuilding plan, and as soon as the London Naval Limitation Treaty expires, we will start making dumplings! Ferdinand said lightly.

Your Majesty, since we want to start an arms race, why not start it now? Neither the British nor the French are able to compete with us at this time!

After three years, they may have recovered. At that time, if we compete again, our advantage will not be great! Prime Minister Constantine asked suspiciously.

The main reason is that it is not necessary. Navy warships cannot be built in a day. A year and a half ahead will not be of much use.

Now we have eliminated some old warships and replaced them with new warships. It is not the work of a wise man to compete directly with the British in the navy!

Unless the Commonwealth of Great Britain is split, we will have enough advantages in industry, and it is not the time to pile up the British with numbers! said Ferdinand with a sigh.

If you don't live in this era, you can't understand the strength of the British Empire in the navy. Regardless of their poor performance in World War II, it means that the British have been dragged down economically.

Without money, naturally there would be no big navy. Just like the German Army did not have a material battlefield, the Royal Navy finally fell because it did not have a lot of capital investment.

Fight for quality? Forget it, the technological gap between everyone in this era is not that big, and this gap is not enough to open up the combat effectiveness of the navies of both sides.

Fighting the quality of soldiers? It is estimated that Bulgarian soldiers are braver, but in the navy, individual bravery does not determine the outcome of a war.

In terms of overall naval quality, the British were still number one in the world during this period.

In the end, Ferdinand found that the American method was the most reliable. Just play with the torrent of warships and pile up the enemies with numbers.

Your Majesty, we have an air force advantage. If we vigorously develop aircraft carriers, we will have even more advantages! Christophe suggested.

Then develop aircraft carriers. The future world belongs to the sky. Whoever controls the air will be able to dominate the world.

The British will soon be a thing of the past. Wouldn't it be interesting to wait for them to build a large number of battleships, and finally find that they can only be reduced to aircraft targets? said Ferdinand with a smile.

The battle between cannons and aircraft carriers has always been the biggest contradiction in the navy of this era. Now the battleship faction has the upper hand. Because of the performance of aircraft, many people think that the next fifty years will be dominated by battleships.

This controversy also exists in the Bulgarian navy, but the battleship faction does not have an advantage. The Bulgarian navy, which has become a monk halfway, is not strong in the conservative faction.

In addition, the Bulgarian Air Force ranks first in the world, and the aircraft has made breakthroughs in technology, which is also Bulgaria's greatest advantage.

Many people believe that the Bulgarian Navy, to surpass the Royal Navy, has the greatest possibility of success in vigorously developing aircraft carriers.

Ferdinand is naturally also a supporter of the aircraft carrier faction, but he will not directly express his position, but let the navy make its own judgment.

As a result, there is no doubt that the biggest achievement of the Bulgarian navy is to step on the Italian navy and become famous. The outside world does not know the specific situation, so how can they not know it?

In that battle, the navy was basically doing the aftermath. The air force directly killed the main force of the Italian navy, and also cleaned up the shore artillery in the port by the way, and they won the victory.

It can be said that it was that naval battle that affected the judgment of the Bulgarian navy. Many people found helplessly that no matter how powerful a warship is, it is so powerless in the face of threats from the sky!
