Chapter 159, preparing to explode the navy

Due to the impact of the economic crisis, the number of suicides this year has reached a record high, and the number of suicides in the world cannot be counted, but the number of suicides in Britain and France has exceeded 100,000, far more than in a normal year.

There are suicide suicide tricks that jump out of the sea and don't work hard, there are suicides by jumping into the sea, jumping off buildings, hanging themselves, shooting suicides, and even more strange may be that they are stupid to read books and choose to commit suicide by drinking bullets.

The bullet was swallowed, but unfortunately the person did not die immediately, the pain was unbearable, and he could not afford to seek medical treatment, so he had to commit suicide again.

Tower Bridge in London, Waterloo Bridge, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Suicide Bridge in California, and the Mihara Crater in Japan have all become famous suicide meccas, and the governments of both countries have been forced to close these "tourist mecca".

It can be said that this economic crisis has directly caused many countries to enter the era of negative population growth ahead of schedule, and everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, who still has the heart to have children?

Now that someone commits suicide, it's no longer news, if no one commits suicide one day, it's news.

The whole world is full of mourning, and at this time, no one has asked to save the market, and everyone doesn't know how to save the market.

The virtual economy was originally blown out, and when the bubble burst, many people found out what the original large number of so-called "high-quality enterprises" were!

No matter how big the development potential of the enterprise, the market capacity is limited in nature, and it is impossible to grow indefinitely.

Now looking back, everyone suddenly found that most of the so-called high-quality enterprises have been hollowed out, and what is left is some cold residues.

The capitalists are not stupid, with their information superiority, in the face of the crisis, they are still one step ahead of ordinary people, and there is no international pursuit of the murderer in this era, and there are not too many people who donate money and flee when the bubble bursts!

Just find a country to immigrate, who knows them? Change places, and then continue to spend all day drinking, and what really stays is a bunch of scapegoats.

If the disaster of Britain and France is still to blame, then Germany and Italy are unjustified disasters and have been piggybacked on by Britain and France.

Since the British announced the increase in tariffs, a large number of foundries have announced the closure of their doors at the same time, and in just one day, Germany has added five million unemployed workers.

Immediately after that, countries around the world raised tariffs one after another, as if only by increasing tariffs could they save the market.

Germany and Italy became the biggest victims, and the industrial powers of Europe paid a total of six countries, Britain, France, Germany, Austria and Italy, of which Germany and Italy had huge war reparations to pay.

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

Coupled with the rise of Bulgaria, which seized the advantage of the Germans in the field of mechanical engineering, Germany is now also reduced to a primary industrial country.

Except for the production of some ordinary goods, they are no longer visible in the high-tech field, and without the import of American capital, the Germans naturally have no money to invest in research and development.

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

In the face of the 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, with a large number of unemployed people, which seriously threatens the normal operation of the country.

Looking at this information, Ferdinand frowned, the historical information now has no reference value, and Mussolini of Italy is not yet the leader of the country, and is now only a member of the army of unemployed.

Well, whether this is the Mussolini in history or not remains to be verified, how can there be one hundred and eighty people in the whole of Italy with this name, right? Ferdinand's memory is not so good, naturally he can't tell the difference.

The idea of "spicy crispy" has emerged and begun to circulate in the world, but there are no successful examples, and it is not yet a climate, and it is impossible to beat Europe as it has historically.

The legendary Führer of "Sitle" was unknown to Ferdinand. The main thing is that he has not yet joined up with his little friends, and there are too many people with this name in Germany, and it is really difficult to distinguish before the "spicy dish" party comes out.

Besides, Ferdinand still remembered that he seemed to be Austrian, and now the Habsburgs are still there, even if he wants to go to Germany to mix, it is a question whether people will let him become a German citizen!

At present, the relations between Germany and Austria are not much better than those between Germany and France.

After the unremitting efforts of both sides, the Austrians now believe that the Austro-Crarian Empire's defection is revenge for the Austro-Prussian revenge of the past.

They believed that Austria-Hungary had no intention of starting a world war, as evidenced by the détente between Bulgarian and Austrian relations and between Russia and Austria, and that they had been dragged into battle by the Germans.

All of them helped the Germans fight for free for two years, with millions of casualties, and they have long been worthy of the alliance, and it is natural that they will be on the side of the victors at the last moment.

The Germans didn't think so, if it wasn't for the last betrayal of Austria-Hungary, they wouldn't have lost so badly, the Entente also suffered heavy losses at that time, and a civil war broke out in Russia, and if everyone worked together, they could still end the war with dignity!

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

In the eyes of the Germans, if it were not for the support of the British, and Bulgaria did not want Austria-Hungary to become bigger, South Germany would almost have the surname Austria.

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

At this time, even if Germany completed reunification, its comprehensive national strength was only five or six layers of the historical Third Reich, but the enemies they faced were several times that of history.

Not to mention Italy, France annexed 18 percent of their territory, Britain annexed 9 percent of their territory, Bulgaria took 3 percent of their territory, and historically they had acquired a piece of Austro-Hungarian territory, which was no longer in this period.

Territorially, the Kingdom of Italy lost at least thirty-five percent, and in population they lost at least forty percent, and war and starvation were also deadly.

Industry can not be seen, even if Britain and France transfer industrial capacity, they will not stupidly go to Italy to develop heavy industry, light industry is now closed factories, there is nothing.

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

"Your Majesty, Germany and Italy have declared financial bankruptcy at the same time, and trouble for Britain and France is coming again!" Metev said excitedly

The economies of Britain and France have been hit hard, and many people are still waiting for German and Italian reparations to take the pot? At this time, they announced that they had defaulted on their debts, what should these people do?

Nominally, both the debts of the Russian Empire and the claims of Germany and Italy were in the hands of the banking institutions of Britain and France, but in reality this was not the case.

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

In normal years, I can receive a part of the money from the indemnity payments of Germany and Italy every year as investment income.

Once you run into a default, you will lose all your money. Especially in times of economic crisis, many people are unemployed, just waiting for this money to make ends meet, and at this time there is nothing.

"This is to be expected, Britain and France have played the game of strong men and broken their wrists, and passed on the unemployment crisis to Germany and Italy, what else can they use to pay off their debts?

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

The French already had a very low domestic industrial capacity, which they could basically absorb with the colonies and local markets they controlled.

The British are in big trouble, if the capitalists of the three North American countries do not cut the meat, their industrial capacity will still be in a state of surplus, and the London government will cry. Ferdinand gloated

In the face of an economic crisis, the colonial troops are the best weapon to vent the flood, but the purchasing power of the colonies is not strong?

After years of exploitation, even in the richest place, there will be a day when it will be squeezed dry!

Historically, without the three North American countries, John Bull could have easily weathered the economic crisis, but not at this time, and industrial capacity has at least more than doubled compared to the same period in history.

Can't you go down halfway? But the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, where should I use the knife? This problem, it is estimated that the MacDonald government is still having a headache.

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

The British will even support Germany and Italy in challenging the European order in order to get out of the economic crisis, and we must act! The Chief of the General Staff, Christoph, spoke

"It's a real problem, but the Italians are limited in strength, and they are caught between us and Britain, France, Austria and Hungary, who do they have the strength to challenge?

Do you want to attack Switzerland? It's not that I look down on them, if there is a fight, the current Kingdom of Italy will really not be able to beat Switzerland!

The Germans are not much better, they want to challenge the European order, they want to fight a civil war, and once a civil war breaks out, the situation will get out of control.

The French and Austria-Hungary would not allow them to reunite again, and at this time they had to go back to the old path of history, fighting a Franco-Prussian War and an Austro-Prussian War.

With the lesson of the last time, neither France nor Austria-Hungary will give them a chance to break through. As soon as it became clear that the German central government had the potential to unify the country, the two countries would intervene.

At this time, even if the British were clearly allied with the Germans, they could not shake the determination of the two countries.

Without a chance of success, will the Germans take risks? I guess even they don't know about this question!

However, we still cannot take it lightly, our navy has been suppressed for so many years, and now it is time to start exerting force.

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

"Your Majesty, if you want to provoke an arms race, why not do it now? At this time, neither the British nor the French could afford to compete with us!

I'm afraid they've recovered after three years, and when we compete again, we won't have much of an advantage! Prime Minister Konstantin asked suspiciously

"The main thing is that it is not necessary, and the warships of the Navy cannot be built in a day, and they are a year and a half ahead, and they do not have much effect.

Now we're going to get rid of some of the old warships and replace them with newer ones. Direct competition with the British in the Navy is not the work of the wise!

Unless the British Commonwealth is divided, we will have enough advantages in industry to pile up the British with numbers, and now is not the time! Ferdinand said with a sigh

It is impossible to understand the naval strength of the British Empire without living in this era, and not to look at how well they did in World War II, that is, economically the British have been dragged down.

If there is no money, there will naturally be no big navy. Just as the German Army did not have a material battlefield, the Royal Navy also fell because it did not have a large amount of financial investment.

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

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

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

In the end, Ferdinand found that the Americans had the most reliable method, and it was better to play directly with the torrent of warships and kill the enemy with numbers.

"Your Majesty, we have the advantage of the Air Force, and if we vigorously develop aircraft carriers, we will have an even greater advantage!" Christophe proposed

"Then develop aircraft carriers, the future world belongs to the sky, and whoever has air supremacy will be able to dominate the world.

Isn't it interesting that the British will soon be a thing of the past, and when they build a whole bunch of battleships, they find that they can only be used as targets for aircraft? Ferdinand said with a smile

The battle between artillery and aircraft carriers has always been the biggest contradiction in the navy in this era, and now it is the battleship faction that has the advantage, because of the performance of the aircraft, many people think that the next 50 years will be the world of battleships.

This controversy also existed in the Bulgarian Navy, but the battleship faction did not have the advantage, and the Bulgarian Navy, which was halfway home, was not strong in the old school.

In addition, the Bulgarian Air Force is the first in the world, and the aircraft has made a breakthrough in technology, which is also the greatest advantage for Bulgaria.

Many people believe that the Bulgarian Navy, to surpass the British Royal Navy, is the most likely to succeed in vigorously developing aircraft carriers.

Ferdinand is naturally also a supporter of the aircraft carrier faction, but he will not directly state 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 was to step on the Italian Navy to become famous, and the outside world does not know the specific situation, can they themselves not know?

In that war, the navy was simply doing the aftermath work, and the air force directly killed the main force of the Italian navy, and also cleaned up the shore guns 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, and many people helplessly found that no matter how powerful the warship was, it was so powerless in the face of the threat from the sky!
