Mediterranean Hegemony Road

? When Ferdinand took action to deal with the aftermath, George also completed the layout, and the plan to kill with a knife was completed. Naturally, he could not let the situation continue to be chaotic.

Order the troops to recover the Fragrance Mountain immediately and wipe out all the rebels! George said indifferently

After this battle, all the opposition parties are finished. Even if they have not participated in the rebellion, they are now accomplices of the rebellious party.

He had collected the evidence a long time ago. In order to overthrow the king's rule, the Republicans colluded with the Japanese to rebel, and he almost believed it.

Why did Shaking Fragrant Mountain fall so quickly? What are the defenders doing? There must be an answer to these questions, right?

Apart from saying that there are traitors, is there a better explanation?

At this point, it will be easy to handle. If there is a traitor, it is natural to investigate to the end!

There is no need for George to take action anymore. The Republicans who cooperated with the Japanese actions are finished this time if they don't die.

With the hat of treason, turning them into an illegal political party is not too much, right?

Although only some people have committed treason, and most of them were forced to treason under the wound, but no matter what the reason is, if you become a traitor, you are a traitor!

With George's order, the farce came to an end.

The population of the entire Kingdom of Hawaii is less than one million, and the number of native immigrants is only 60,000 to 70,000, and they are scattered all over the country.

The young and strong that can be gathered in a short period of time are naturally very limited. Facing the temporarily organized rebels like the Imperial Guards, they simply have no power to fight.

This is Hawaii. If the rebellion fails, they will be finished. If they want to go out to fight guerrillas, they won't be able to swim!

The rebellion broke out from Christmas, lasted for two days, and ended on December 26, 1929, but the damage caused to the Kingdom of Hawaii was very heavy.

Nearly half of the capital, Chanxiang Mountain, was destroyed, with a population loss of tens of thousands, and the economic loss was even more immeasurable.

Sure enough, there is a price to be paid for doing anything, even if it is a quick cut, short-term labor pains are inevitable.

George thought to himself.

He knows that now is not the time to be sentimental, and there are still many aftermath work that he needs to deal with, such as:

The rebels who participated in this rebellion, those who should be shut down, and those who should be killed, are not enough to punish the nine clans, but it is still possible to implicate the whole family;

The gang of ineffective bureaucrats in the government will also take this opportunity to let them go and replace them with more obedient people.

...

In Tokyo, the Japanese government's quarrel over whether to send troops to intervene has also come to an end.

The matter is over, and now that this time has passed, it will be an open war of aggression.

The navy is not the army, it is not that crazy, and Japan's domestic economy does not allow them to start wars, especially wars with little economic value!

If you want to launch a war to divert the economic crisis, the prerequisite is to grab enough spoils to make up for the war expenses.

Obviously, when they invaded the Kingdom of Hawaii at this time, the enemy they faced was not only the Kingdom of Hawaii, but the joint target of European and American countries.

These countries may not directly send troops to intervene, but just making small moves behind the scenes is enough to make the Japanese government uncomfortable.

This is also the disadvantage of the island country. It relies heavily on the outside world for resources. If everyone imposes an embargo, the Japanese government will be caught blind.

In fact, the Japanese government is now too busy to take care of itself. Countries have raised tariff rates one after another, and Japan's export trade volume has dropped sharply.

Well, let’s play tariff barriers together. The Japanese consortium said: No, we are playing free trade!

Well, the real reason is that they mainly import industrial raw materials and export industrial products. Even if tariffs are raised, can they not buy industrial raw materials?

This is different from Bulgaria. Although Bulgaria is also a big importer of industrial raw materials, its colony is large enough and most of its industrial raw materials are produced. Now it imports industrial raw materials from Russia mainly for trade balance needs.

Once the price of raw materials skyrocketed, it would be a big deal not to buy it at once, and go home to mine it by myself.

This is also the reason why the replacement of industrial equipment in Britain and France was slow in this era. They have vast colonies, not only can they obtain cheap raw materials, but also have a huge market. Capitalists can make money lying down, so why work hard? ?

Even now that the economic crisis has broken out, these capitalists are much happier than the outside world, and they still have tariff barriers.

...

In the Royal Palace of Sofia, Ferdinand and Princess Juliana are taking stock of expenditures together. Kalimantan Island is not so easy to develop. The military investment in the early stage is not a small sum.

Honey, Nanyang Development Company is about to run out of money again, what are you going to do? Princess Juliana frowned and said

Of course we have continued to invest. At this point, can we still give up? Little Ferdinand thought for a while and said.

However, before the establishment of the rubber plantation, we have invested nearly 200 million levs, which has exceeded our budget. How will you recover the investment in the future? Juliana asked with great concern

The Nanyang Development Company was the joint property of their husband and wife. Ferdinand Jr. paid for the British Kaliman Island and merged it with her dowry Dutch Kalimantan Island.

Now the two are partnering to open up rubber plantations, but the military expenditure in the early stage exceeded the budget, and now they need to increase the investment.

Honey, now we are locked up, 200 million leva has already been filled in, if we don't continue to invest in the future, then we will lose a lot!

At this point, of course, we will continue to increase investment, which is nothing more than an increase of 100 million levs compared to our original plan. In the future, our rubber plantations will be able to earn back.

Believe me, the world's demand for natural rubber has been increasing. When the development of Kalimantan Island is completed, we will be the world's largest rubber supplier, and we can earn back no matter how much we invest! ’ Little Ferdinand assured

Well, you can figure it out for yourself. Anyway, I don't have the money to continue filling this bottomless pit! For the sake of risk sharing, I suggest that you introduce new investors. In case of a breakthrough in synthetic rubber technology, these investments will It's all in vain! Juliana said seriously

Don't worry, I know in my heart, I can't lose money, don't forget who is the world's largest natural rubber buyer?

Regarding the issue of synthetic rubber, I also consulted relevant scientists. Based on the current level of technology, it is impossible for synthetic rubber to replace natural rubber in the next fifty years!

Moreover, Kalimantan Island is also rich in natural resources, even if there is no rubber plantation, we will not lose money! Little Ferdinand said calmly.

With such a large investment, how could he not conduct market research? It is precisely because of knowing more that he has strengthened his determination to invest in the local area.

Just like Ferdinand said, develop the local area, and if there are too many sons in the future, you can also establish a subordinate kingdom in the local area and control it.

Never put your eggs in one basket, this is the way for nobles to survive, just like Ferdinand sent his sons to different places now, no matter what happens in the future, they will not be caught in one basket.

Many aristocrats in Europe have broken their inheritance, not only because of the thinness of their offspring, but also because of too much concentration. After an accident, family members often suffer heavy losses.

At the same time, if you are too close, it is easy to fight internally. It is better to send them far away. There is no conflict of interest, and you can still be good brothers.

By the way, my dear, the money is actually a small problem. My father has already said that he will reward us with one billion levs for every additional grandson or granddaughter. I think we should work hard on this issue to be more effective. Qiantu! Little Ferdinand replied very seriously

Does your illegitimate child count? Juliana asked with great concern

I don't know about this question! You have to know that we have many brothers. If we don't work hard, I'm afraid there won't be many left! Little Ferdinand jokingly replied

In fact, Caesar asked this question before, and Ferdinand gave the answer: Yes, but with a discount!

Little Ferdinand was not stupid, so it was naturally impossible to say it directly. For Ferdinand, as long as it was his grandchildren, it didn't matter who the mother was, and Xenia would not mind.

But little Ferdinand can't do it. Women have completely different standards for sons and husbands. If a son has an illegitimate child, they will help cover it. If the husband has an illegitimate child, he will die.

I will seriously consider this issue, but if I want to have a child now, will it be troublesome? Princess Juliana frowned and said

I don't know, but it shouldn't be. Didn't the six of us get raised in the same way? We didn't hear about trouble from our father? Little Ferdinand answered very smartly.

Ferdinand didn't say it was troublesome, but Queen Xenia often complained. Little Ferdinand wanted a child now, so naturally he wouldn't say it was troublesome to raise a child.

In order not to be blamed by his wife in the future, he decisively chose to avoid the important ones.

Alright then! Juliana said reluctantly.

Unlike Little Ferdinand, who was over thirty, she was only twenty years old now, and she dropped out of school early and went home to get married before graduating from university.

It's just that she can't choose on this issue. There are too many people urging her to have a child, and her mother, Queen Wilhelmina, is the strongest force.

Ferdinand's approach was already quite enlightened. It was just a lure, not the slightest coercion. Anyway, he had six sons, and someone would work hard to have them.

As long as there are enough heirs and the family business won't be picked by outsiders, that's all. It really doesn't matter to him which son inherits more and which son inherits less.
