Ferdinand asked rhetorically: "This cannot be done in the accounts, we have to take into account other factors besides economic value!"

Have you noticed that in the current trade between Bulgaria and Russia, Bulgaria is now on the side of the super-acquisition?

If there were no previous immigrants, who consumed most of the funds and covered up the problem, then a long trade surplus with Russia, even if we and the Russian Empire are allies, will still have problems over time, have you considered it?? ”

The faces of the people have changed drastically, this is indeed a big problem, if it cannot be properly handled, the future relations between Russia and Russia will inevitably be greatly affected!

Now Bulgaria imports industrial raw materials from the Russian Empire, and in turn sells industrial products to the Russian Empire.

Because of the trade agreement, both sides enjoyed low tariffs, and Bulgarian industrial products were able to compete with the great powers with their price advantage.

But how can the woolly bear be so easy to take advantage of, and no matter how good the relationship is over time, there will be contradictions, and Russia can't let Bulgaria take advantage all the time, right?

No one is coming up now, and the big reason is that because of immigration, the Bulgarian government paid a lot of money to the Russian Empire, which offset the trade deficit.

Russian aristocratic lords, profit from this! Coupled with the low quality of the immigrants needed by Bulgaria, which was similar to waste in the Russian Empire, it would be a mess to stay in the country, and it would be beneficial to ease the internal contradictions if they left.

In addition, the Russian Empire also hoped to influence Bulgaria's internal and foreign affairs through immigration, and slowly assimilate Bulgaria, and all these factors added up to the Russian government's green light and never raised objections!

Although I don't want to admit it, but the problem is in front of us, and everyone can't help but pay attention to it, now the Russian Empire is too important for the development of Bulgaria!!

Now they thought they could figure out why Ferdinand had to insist on Bulgarianization. Wasn't it just to prevent Bulgaria from being annexed by the Russian Empire?

Heavy pressure came to my face, and a sense of historical responsibility arose! What to do? Migration is short-term, and if there is no other way, then the trade contradictions between Russia and Bulgaria will intensify sooner or later!

Ferdinand suddenly realized that he seemed to make the problem too serious and frightened! Just as he was about to say something, Chekov suddenly spoke:

"Your Excellency, in the short term we can rely on immigration to balance the trade surplus, but after all, it is not a long-term solution! Is it feasible to abandon certain sectors as a balancing point for trade surpluses? ”

Ferdinand nodded, if he didn't know where the future would go, he would probably use this method to balance the trade surplus, such as stopping domestic mining, switching to imports from the Russian Empire, and so on!

"Don't worry too much, at the current rate of development in Bulgaria, there is still a huge demand for manpower, and at least for five years, we will have to bring in immigrants on a large scale!

Five years is enough time for us to find new ways to solve the problem of trade balance! ”

Everyone suddenly understood why the Grand Duke wanted to start the Baosai War at this time; And why insist on the expulsion of the Serbs!

In the event of a trade conflict between Bulgaria and Russia, it will inevitably cause domestic turmoil, and the economic crisis will break out in full swing, interrupting Bulgaria's development path.

However, the Conservative War prolonged the crisis for five years, and the new land development promoted the next development of the Bulgarian economy!

Under a series of misunderstandings, Ferdinand's image in the hearts of everyone has been infinitely elevated!

"Your Excellency, what is our next strategy??" Konstantin asked

If it weren't for the fear of being treated as a monster, Ferdinand would have been prepared to tell everyone that he planned to make a big profit in the Greco-Turkish war!

Now that the Prime Minister has asked, of course he can say it. However, it is also necessary to test the skill, which must be persuasive without revealing the ability of foresight!

Ferdinand pondered for a moment, organized his words, stood up and said: "Look at the map on the wall, there are three countries bordering us now, Serbia, Romania, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire!"

Serbia doesn't have to think about it, it's just finished fighting, and everything that can be taken has been obtained, and the rest will not be left to us unless Austria-Hungary decides to annex Serbia, otherwise there is no need to think about it!

Then look at Romania, sandwiched by the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Russian Empire, even if their land is fertile, but it is still not developed, you know that it is not a good choice to be neighbors with the great powers!

And the risk of expanding to Romania is too great, the two empires of Austria-Hungary and Russia are eyeing him, and the variables for us to join in are too great, once Romania is partitioned, we will have to bear this pressure ourselves, and now Bulgaria is not ready!

Everyone knows what the Ottoman Turkish Empire is behind, even if the Sultan has made some changes, it still can't change the nature of their mountains and rivers!

The national contradictions in the country tossed them half to death. They are now weakened every day they pass, and on the surface they are still a big empire, but in fact they have long been rotten in their roots!

Look at the map of the Balkans again, the entire Balkan Peninsula, with the exception of Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece, Montenegro, is the territory of the Ottoman Empire!

Macedonia, Thrace, Istanbul, Thessaloniki, Kosovo and other places close to us, if we can annex these regions, Bulgaria's territory can directly triple in size!

Then the next question is no longer a problem! The shortcomings of raw materials that restrict our industrial development can be filled! ”

Ferdinand didn't hold back, and poured it out in one go. As for whether it will leak out, Ferdinand said that if the members of the cabinet are unreliable, then Bulgaria will not have to do anything, and will honestly farm and wait for death!

Listening to Ferdinand's strategic vision, everyone was dumbfounded. It's no wonder they're shallow, it's unbelievable!

The weakness of the Ottoman Turkish Empire was not revealed to the whole world until the Armenians launched a rebellion in Constantinople!

Then the Greeks would be the first to eat crabs after the outbreak of the Cretan crisis, confidently declaring war on the Turks.

It's a pity that the Greeks saw the weakness of the Turks, but they didn't discover the nature of their weakness!

Then a worse war broke out, and the Greeks were undoubtedly defeated, but the weak Ottoman Empire did not have the energy to look for the bad luck of the Greeks, and the contradictions in the country forced it to shrink back!
