Chapter 14: Terrible Data

Paris

"Your Excellency the President, the Bulgarians are interested in supporting the Spanish right-wing bloc, but they don't want to take direct action and want to cooperate with us!" This was stated by French Foreign Minister Yves Tors

"Oh, what kind of conditions did the Bulgarians give?" Albert Lebrun asked with interest

"A pro-French Spanish government, they will not meddle in the internal problems of Spain!" Yves Tors said unhurriedly

Obviously, he was satisfied with this condition, and the attitude of the British was obvious, there was no place for France in the Western European Union, and in order to break the strategic encirclement, it was necessary to win over Spain.

Now that the left-wing coalition has fallen to the British, the French government is hesitating to support the right-wing forces, and now that there is one more Bulgaria that contributes money and efforts, they can also reduce some of the burden.

"Is there such a good thing? The Bulgarians won't be engaged in any more conspiracy, right? Albert Lebrun said incredulously

"Your Excellency, this is in the interests of Bulgaria, their influence in Spain is too weak, they unilaterally support the right-wing forces, and they will unite with us if they are not sure of success.

For the Bulgarians, a pro-British Spanish government was also no small trouble. In contrast, a pro-French Spanish government does not have this problem.

They are even willing to support the Franco-Spanish alliance, so that we and the Western European Union will be evenly matched, and the British will not have the strength to compete with them for the position of world supremacy under mutual containment.

Compared to this, what is the point of giving up a little money and weapons? Yves Torles explained

"Oh, I knew there would be no pie in the sky, it would still be meat filling!

However, I like this kind of cooperation, since the British chose the Germans, they have to pay for it! Albert Lebrun said fiercely

The French did not want to fight, but the reality kept pushing them to the brink, but fortunately their losses in the First World War were much smaller than in history, and although the people were against war, they were not afraid of war.

The arrogance of France still exists, otherwise after the First World War, they still supported a navy that was the second largest in the world, and they only gave up until now they really can't hold it.

They have always adhered to the name of the world's No. 1 Army, and even now, they have 500,000 standing troops, including more than 300,000 on the mainland.

In the short term, there is no problem in suppressing Germany and Italy, but in the future, it will definitely be an arms expansion war, and the dead knot of territorial disputes cannot be untied, and this battle is inevitable.

The French naturally knew that they had to have reliable allies, and their best allies in the face of the Western European Union were the Spaniards.

This is determined by geopolitics, and Spain, which is close at hand, has much more to offer them than Bulgaria, which is far away.

"Your Excellency the President, in that case, then we can also give them the supplies that the Spaniards want.

Later, there will be Bulgarians to help share it, and there is no need for us to continue to drag it out.

In this game, we were temporarily at a disadvantage, and the sudden attack of the left-wing strength caught the Spanish right-wing coalition off guard.

Now, it's time for us to help them! Yvetors thought for a moment and said

"Well, but the supplies have to be IOUs for them, France is not rich now, and we can't give them in vain.

If you want to take advantage, let them go to Bulgaria and ask for it, anyway, the outbreak has money! Albert Lebrun said sourly

……

The nouveau riche is the position given to Bulgaria by the outside world, although they also have a history of thousands of years, but compared to other countries, it is not worth mentioning.

The ancestors are also broad, this sentence can only be said in thirty years, the Bulgarian Empire in history, at its most awesome, did not unify the Balkans, and it is not comparable to the present at all.

The completion of several five-year plans, one ten-year plan, laid the foundation for Bulgaria's rise.

"Your Majesty, this is the production capacity estimate of our Nanyang Rubber Plant this year, with a total output of about 520,000 tons!" The attendant said excitedly

Seventy percent of these rubber plantations are the property of the little Ferdinand couple, and Kalimantan is now full of rubber plantations, and after so many years of hard work, it is finally time to harvest.

It's a pity that little Ferdinand can't be happy, natural rubber is still not enough!

Although the supply exceeds demand, he can make a lot of money, but unfortunately now that he is the emperor, he doesn't care about this little money.

No matter how profitable natural rubber is, after removing expenses, the profit is only one or two hundred leva, and the profit he obtains is only a few hundred million leva.

And the supply in the domestic market is in short supply, and the biggest buyer is his Lao Tzu Ferdinand, that is to say, his so-called profits are obtained from Lao Tzu.

The heir to this part of the estate, if nothing else, is himself, earning his own money, how can he be interested?

Even with the addition of rubber production in Africa, Bulgaria's total natural rubber production is less than 1 million tons, while the domestic market demand is as high as 1.2 million tons.

Not only Bulgaria is out of stock, but also in all major industrial countries around the world, and due to geographical constraints, the best natural rubber production area is in the South Seas.

Unfortunately, due to the war, the rubber plantations in the Nanyang region have not recovered to their peak, even if a large group of capitalists pounced on this industry after the war, but the rubber trees did not grow in a day.

However, the demand for natural rubber is increasing in the global market, and Bulgaria is the largest customer, consuming 53% of the world's natural rubber production capacity every year.

If it can be fully supplied, this consumption will be further increased, and now there is no way but to use synthetic rubber to top.

Even the synthetic rubber industry in Bulgaria has developed rapidly and has come to the forefront of the world.

Importing natural rubber at a high price and dumping synthetic rubber at a low price are Bulgarian characteristics.

"Got it, commend the person in charge, let them make persistent efforts, now the domestic natural rubber gap is still very large, let them let go of their hands and feet!" Little Ferdinand thought for a moment and said

"Your Majesty, the information from below is that they think that the cost of developing rubber plantations in Africa is too high, and the output is not as good as that of the Nanyang region, and it is recommended to focus on expanding rubber plantations in the Nanyang region!" The squire explained

"Oh, that's a problem, so let's lean toward the South Seas!" Little Ferdinand said indifferently

There are still advantages to rubber plantations in Nanyang, not only because of the superior natural conditions, but also because the labor cost is much lower.

In Africa, rubber plantations can only be found from the country or from the European continent, while there are cheap Chinese laborers in the South Seas.

Bulgaria is all about word of mouth, and even overseas, capitalists attach great importance to reputation, never withhold or default on wages, and have always been the most popular bosses.

It's easy to recruit people in the South Seas, but it's not the same on the African continent, where they tried to get locals to work in rubber plantations at first, but they used rubber trees as firewood, and the person in charge vomited three liters of blood.

Educating all living beings has never been a Bulgarian idea, and Ferdinand's idea is to respect the unique habits of each people.

Of course, the prerequisite is that these peoples cannot be Bulgarians, and the Bulgarians can only come according to Bulgarian customs.

To put it simply, African tribes are allowed to continue to exist as tribes, and the colonial government cannot change their habits to reduce ethnic conflicts.

Well, these are just the ideas of the Great, how to understand the people who implement them at the bottom depends on personal understanding, in short, the population of the Bulgarian-controlled areas is constantly decreasing.

The colonizers could not be expected to be very disciplined, and if Ferdinand was still a little compassionate, then Ferdinand Jr. was a standard European politician.

A lot of things are aligned with interests, Our Lady plot? With Ferdinand's educational model, how could his son be a good man?

It's just that as a smart person, everyone knows how to package hypocrites, and there is no stupidity to do anything really villainous.

Since 1924, Bulgaria has emigrated 6.8 million people to the Americas, all of which were cut out of the colonies.

It greatly promoted the prosperity of the American continent, met their labor needs, and promoted their economic development.

To put it simply, whoever has a bad relationship with Bulgaria will smuggle it to them. No, this is not smuggling!

All of this was entered legally, and an agreement was reached with the capitalists in advance to provide them with cheap labor, all of which were subject to legal employment contracts.

If everyone has a good relationship, one lev can hire 10,000 workers, as long as they take care of the food, and it doesn't matter if they starve half to death.

As the saying goes, cheap is not good, good goods are not cheap, such cheap workers, of course, are simple-minded and well-developed goods.

For example, in the war of the South American Sambo, Bulgaria provided them with 300,000 strong soldiers, even with the support of the British and Argentina, and in the end Bolivia won a great victory by relying on the tactics of crowds.

In many cases, as long as the quantity goes up, the quality is not so important, in the words of General Ukhmed, even if it is ten soldiers in exchange for one soldier of the enemy, it is still us who wins in the end!

It was in a spirit of unafraid sacrifice that he won war after war and won the support of the Bolivian soldiers.

Anyway, the dead are mercenaries, the cheap ones are deadly, and they don't have to pay pensions when they die, and the living only need to take care of the food.

Bulgaria is so supportive, they will naturally not be polite, and the pattern of the war has changed again.

In the melee of the Central American countries, mercenaries also appeared, and this was provided by a notorious black leather company in the world.

As long as there is a demand, there is a black leather company, the price is not a problem, the symbolic charge, they are all international volunteers, and it is too vulgar to talk about money.

Although everyone knows that this strange mercenary company is the vest of the Bulgarian government, it's all a small problem, isn't it?

Driven by this favorable policy, Bulgaria's population in the African colonies, which at its peak was more than 20 million, has plummeted to less than 5 million now.

Colonel Chris, who developed this plan and organized it, was promoted to the high position of Viceroy of Africa, and was also given the title of Earl.

"Father, the Africa Transformation Program is going well, do we really want to continue to invest more?" Little Ferdinand asked suspiciously

"Do you know how many people the African continent has now?" Ferdinand asked

"Maybe fifty or sixty million, right?" Little Ferdinand said uncertainly

"You've estimated too much, I don't think it will exceed 30 million at most! Our colonies have a large population, and we should not forget that in the first place, we made a large number of immigrants to Africa for the sake of stability in the Middle East.

There were a lot of mistakes in our estimates, and you should have noticed that the actual population was much less than we estimated! Ferdinand said with a slight smile

This is not Ferdinand's joke, there is no country on the African continent that has a population of more than 10 million.

For example, in the Libyan region, Bulgaria has always thought that there may be 780,000 people, or even 1 million, but in fact, after ruling here for a few years, it found that the total population of the area is less than 400,000, and the foreign population is only tens of thousands.

Namibia's local population is less than 130,000. Zimbabwe's local population is just over 800,000.

Zambia has a population of more than 400,000, Uganda has just over 1 million and Tanzania has a population of just over 2 million.

Even Nigeria, which was the most populous country in Africa in later generations, had a total population of just over 8 million when Bulgaria took over.

After the migration from Bulgaria, the population of the African continent is now even smaller, and in the end Ferdinand came to a shocking conclusion that the total population of the continent may be less than 30 million!

Believe it or not, it's the truth!

For this reason, Ferdinand also collected information and obtained data on the population of their colonies from various governments, although this is only an estimate.

Mozambique has a population of less than 2 million, Egypt has a population of more than 7 million, and Congo, the second most populous country in Africa, now has a total population of more than 700,000.

There is no doubt that even if there is an error in this data, it will not be a big deal to be 20 or 30 percent, and governments are not stupid, and they can't even figure out how many people they have ruled after so many years of rule.

Ferdinand found that the Congolese people were so powerful, basically doubling the population every eleven or twelve years, which is really embarrassing.

"Father, this conclusion is terrifying, it is enough to change the national policy of Bulgaria!" Little Ferdinand said dumbfounded

Don't talk about him, even Ferdinand was frightened when he just got the news.

If it weren't for the fact that he was too idle after the abdication, he wouldn't have paid attention to these data that no one valued, and then he wouldn't have made this amazing discovery.

Bulgaria now controls almost 30 percent of the continent, and there are fewer than 5 million indigenous people. It's terrible, even though it's caused by immigration policy.

"The more terrible this conclusion is, the better it is for us, after all, the world is made by fists, and England and France gave up a good hand for nothing!

Whether it is the Americas or Africa, it is a godsend, even if it cannot be developed, it can become its own territory first, don't you think this is nonsense?

Even if we can't eat the entire African continent, don't we still have an Eastern European alliance? Why don't you use the power of your allies?

Isn't it just an exchange of interests, what's the big deal?

For example, sacrificing Poland and Germany, or letting the three Baltic countries return to Western Russia again, and let Eastern Russia carve up the power of Britain and Central Asia, these can all be discussed!

Taking a step back, it's not a problem that we occupy most of the African continent, right? Ferdinand asked rhetorically

"It's another world war!" Little Ferdinand said categorically

"No, this world war has begun, the British have already been fooled, it is too late for them to want to exit!" Ferdinand said with a sneer

The establishment of the Western European Union by the British was the countdown to the war, and sooner or later Germany and Italy would be dragged into the war.

The British did not know the Bulgarian strategy, and in their opinion, if Germany and Italy were not co-opted as soon as possible, then the two countries would definitely fall to Bulgaria.

Bulgaria had been courting Germany, but the offer was not high, which the British saw as a threat.

In fact, Ferdinand was well aware that Bulgaria could no longer co-opt Germany, and that they had to choose between Austria-Hungary and Germany.

This multiple-choice question is easy to do, what Bulgaria needs is an obedient little brother, not an ally who can become a rival!

This is the same reason that the Germans chose Austria-Hungary as an ally and abandoned the more powerful Russian Empire.

But the British do not think so, the contradiction between Germany and Austria is more just a breath, and the contradiction between Germany and France is territorial interests.

The Germans' greatest enemy had always been the French, and under this premise, Germany could temporarily put aside its grievances with Austria-Hungary.

Once Germany joins the Eastern European Union, then there will be nothing for them on the continent, and perhaps the Bulgarians will only need to produce some guns and ammunition, and the French will be finished.

They have already learned the combat effectiveness of the German army, and the French can't bear it, let alone them, and it's useless to go up.

Anyway, it is not in the interests of Bulgaria to make Russia and Austria bigger, and without Bulgaria as the main force, the Eastern European alliance will not provoke a war on land.

The interests of the French were sacrificed, a strategic encirclement was formed, and as long as Germany and Italy could win against the French, they came out to mediate, and the Western European Union was formally established.

The strength of the two sides has reached a balance again, and everyone's contradictions have not reached the point of life and death, in order not to be picked up by others, then the possibility of war breaking out is infinitely zero.

This is the course that Ferdinand set for the British, and so far they have done a good job and have a good chance of success, provided that the British Empire has the strength to subdue a few allies.
