Chapter 143, Conflict + Scolding (2-in-1 Chapter)

In 1928, the world was still not at peace, the war in Southeast Asia was still burning, and the Afghans were still in a tug-of-war with the British.

The chaotic war in Central America continues, and the village and town level battles are maintained every day, and the big war does not continue without small wars, and the two major living treasures of South America are doing it again.

Paraguay and Bolivia are both landlocked countries, and the two sides have been fighting for the Northern Chaco for many years.

The reason is very simple, there is a river in the North Chaco that leads to the Atlantic Ocean - the Picomayo River.

Whoever gets the Northern Chaco will be able to join the Paraguay River through the Picomayo River, and there will be access to the sea.

Originally, because of the problem of access to the sea, the relationship between the two countries was very stiff, and at this critical time, the Bulgarian oil company discovered oil in the North Chaco, and the reserves are still very amazing.

Now Paraguay and Bolivia can't sit still, and a windfall is falling from the sky!

Bolivia ecstatic?

Paraguay is equally ecstatic!

Both Paraguay and Bolivia are in a similar dilemma, with access to the sea and resources.

With both a canal leading to the sea and now oil discoveries, do you think the two poor jingle countries can sit still?

Bolivia's reasoning is that the Northern Chaco region was originally part of the Spanish colony of Bolivia, and now that Bolivia is independent, the Northern Chaco is of course part of Bolivia.

Paraguay said: Count yourself, how many Bolivians are there? None of your people are here, so why do you say it's your territory?

And our ancestors have long grazed sheep here, and according to international practice, this is of course the territory of Paraguay.

The two countries are bickering over the development of oil in their respective control areas.

The discovery of oil in the North Chaco region, like a piece of fat, attracts hungry wolves from the international capital markets. Under the influence of foreign forces, the two sides went to work.

No one has too many oil resources! As the first Bulgarian oil company to enclose territory in this place, naturally it cannot retreat, Bulgaria is also a world power, who is afraid of whom?

Now it's Ferdinand's turn to have a headache, who should he support?

As an oil giant, this indispensable side of the line is definitely indispensable.

But the problem is that on the South American continent, Bulgaria's strength really can't be compared with the British. Of course, it is not the two small countries of Paraguay and Bolivia that dare to provoke them.

Well, neither the Bulgarian government nor the London government has yet taken a position, the oil companies have already acted, according to their respective interests, the Bulgarian oil companies support Bolivia, and the British oil companies support Paraguay.

"This problem, let's kick the ball to the League of Nations, our government is not suitable to be directly involved!" Ferdinand thought for a moment and said

Sure enough, capitalists have no discipline, and Ferdinand is no exception, and when the people under him provoke such a big thing, he should have done nothing to do it.

There is no way, this is the case in this era, if you do business honestly, you will only die in international competition!

It stands to reason that the oil field was discovered by the Bulgarian Oil Company first, and the ownership was also bought in Bolivia, which is the Bulgarian Oil Company.

As a result, BP stepped in again, and they approached the Paraguayan government, which had a territorial dispute with Bolivia, and bought ownership of the area.

Then the two countries can only fight, one goods are sold and the other are the owners, how is this possible?

Let's talk about it after the fight is over, and the rest of the matter is not over, and the oil companies of Britain and Bulgaria will continue to fight later.

As for these two living treasures, why do they dare to be so awesome, it is entirely because they are both landlocked countries, even if Yingbao wants to settle accounts with them, it is not so easy.

What will happen to the victory or loss of the war, Ferdinand doesn't bother to ask, anyway, he is in no hurry now, and he can't do anything else except sell some arms in the past.

"Your Majesty, with our support, Bolivia has a good chance of winning, such a good opportunity, it's a pity to give up so in vain!" Metyev thought for a moment and said

Taking this opportunity to extend my hand to South America and expand Bulgaria's influence, it looks very good, and the success of the operation is also very high.

Ferdinand was also a little hesitant, should he try it?

"Your Majesty, even if it is better to do it in secret, anyway, now that the two sides are fighting, it will not stop immediately when it comes to the League of Nations.

All we need to do is give Bolivia a loan, plus a security endorsement that no major powers will be directly involved! Konstantin proposed

"Well, let's try it! At the same time, a warning to Argentina and let them stop supporting all activities in Paraguay! Ferdinand thought for a moment and said

It seems that there is no risk, and even if you suffer a loss here, you can get it back elsewhere, which is a common thing in international politics.

One of their temptations decided that what had been a war between Bolivia and Paraguay had turned into a war between Bulgaria and Britain.

As Bulgaria's influence in the international arena grows, it is facing more and more of this situation, and the contradictions between the great powers are actually accumulating bit by bit.

……

"Your Majesty, this is our Ministry of Education, the new plan for education reform, please take a look!" Chekov took out a stack of documents and said

Ferdinand took it and flipped through it page by page, the document was not thick, only four or five pages, and it seemed that the strength of this reform would not be too great.

"What do you mean by proposing to establish mobile schools?" Ferdinand asked, confused

"Your Majesty, the main consideration is the education of the children of the workers, and many of the factories set up in the colonies still have workers from our homeland.

Because of education problems, their children have to stay in their homeland, and many of them board their children in nurseries.

Being away from parents for a long time is not conducive to the education of the next generation, so we are preparing to set up mobile schools to solve the education problems of their children.

As long as the factory reaches a certain scale, it can apply to the government to establish a school in the local area, and the government will bear 60% of the required funds, 20% will be borne by enterprises, and 20% will be borne by the workers themselves! Chekov explained

"That's a good idea, but if the workers take that part, let's erase it! Now Bulgaria is subject to compulsory education, and since it is free for all citizens, there is no reason to make an exception in the colonies! Ferdinand thought for a moment and said

The Bulgarian education system is also unique in the world, and theoretically anyone can go to university without spending a penny, provided that you can get in.

The admissions system is also a unified standard, and everything is based on grades. Including the compulsory education stage, except for the first two years of primary school, the school is determined by lottery, and then the exam is enough.

Educational resources are also good and bad, and it is impossible to distribute them fairly, so we can only try to be fair to everyone and give everyone the opportunity to move up.

If you can't get into college, you can also finish college by spending money, but the tuition fee is not close to the people, and the graduation certificate is not easy to get.

This was what Ferdinand prepared for class solidification, and once the Bulgarian class stabilized in the future, it would be difficult for ordinary people to climb up.

Relying on one's own strength to get admitted all the way is also the most reliable way for ordinary people to change their fate with knowledge.

It is somewhat similar to the ancient imperial examination system, but it is not exactly the same.

The aim is to break the monopoly of the class, but Bulgaria has not trained officials, but scientific researchers.

The interest class would suppress the groups that threatened them, so the imperial examination system eventually failed, and a bunch of nerds were produced.

But they will not suppress the group of scientists, there is no life-and-death contradiction between them, and they will not mind the faster development of science and technology to create a better life for them.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chekov replied

It's good to get rid of it, it's a big deal to ask the Ministry of Finance for money, and the number is not very big anyway.

"School holiday reform, you are ready to increase students' holidays and compress military training time, why?" Ferdinand asked, frowning

"Your Majesty, our domestic military training begins with primary school students, which takes up a lot of their study time and is not conducive to their growth.

At the beginning, it was for the sake of national security, and there was no way to do this, but now that the country is strong, there is no external threat, and there is no need to continue.

The Ministry of Education plans to integrate with the international education system and normalize education! Chekov explained

"I wonder, which idiot came up with this idea?" Ferdinand struck without reservation

Aligned with international education? A hairy track?

In terms of the results of high-level education, Bulgaria has produced the largest number of scientists in the world.

Of course, the number of politicians, capitalists, and verbal experts trained is far worse than that of Britain and France, which is determined by the education model.

How do you look at it, it is all the Bulgarian education system, which is more conducive to the development of the country, and now it is actually turning back the clock of history and going back to integrate with them? Isn't there something wrong with your brain?

Don't look at the number of military training courses in Bulgaria, in fact, children are not excluded. What can primary school students take in military training classes?

In addition to standing in a military posture and cultivating collective consciousness, the rest of the time is basketball, football, badminton, table tennis, high jump and long jump......

In fact, I am still playing, but I have increased the amount of exercise and exercised a good body.

Now compress the time of these courses and take them out for vacation, and you don't have to think about it at all, you know what kind of effect is better.

What kind of nature is cultivated, quality education or something?

Don't think that learning to draw, sing, and dance is an excellent talent, in fact, in the future life, it is better to leave them a good body.

Chekov was stunned, speechless for a long time, he didn't expect Ferdinand to be so angry, isn't it just to integrate with international education? As for the reaction, is there such a big reaction?

"Mr. Chekov, tell me which country has the highest success rate in the final educational results of all countries in the world now?" Ferdinand asked with a gloomy face

"Your Majesty, we have no intention of changing the current education model, but only in the compulsory education stage, to reduce the learning pressure of children." Chekov said in a hurry

"But you are not relieving the pressure of studying, you are ruining our next generation!"

"Don't forget, why is it that Bulgarians now have the highest average physical fitness in the world?"

"These are all created by our education system, and from primary school onwards, they have at least two hours a day to exercise in the stadium.

More than ten years of exercise, rain or shine, have allowed our new generation of Bulgarian youth to have a strong physique, and now you are actually going to destroy it?

Mr. Chekov, please tell me, did your experts in the Ministry of Education grow up eating? Or is it that your leadership, the collective brain is in water? ”

……

Ferdinand burst out of his mouth a bunch of nasty words and slammed them into Chekov without saving him face.

There is no problem with education reform, but the reform must also be better and better.

Ferdinand admits that the current Bulgarian educational model will kill the genius of the imagination, but what is the proportion of this genius among the 60 million people in Bulgaria?

Maybe there won't be one in ten or twenty years, is it for the sake of a person who may exist, to change this set of education models that are suitable for most people?

The development of a country cannot be supported by one or two scientists, but can only be built up by hundreds of thousands of scientific researchers, or even millions of scientific researchers.

In Ferdinand's view, these scientists are already very powerful in terms of scientific and technological inventions and innovations in Bulgaria.

Without any external force, Bulgaria's scientific and technological level is still at the forefront of the world, what else can it do?

Could it be that if one or two perverted scientists are trained, they can develop by leaps and bounds?

Obviously, this does not exist, and the development of science and technology also needs a lower foundation, step by step, slowly climbing forward, is the most correct choice.

No matter how talented an individual is, the overall scientific and technological level of the society cannot keep up, the performance of machinery and equipment is not up to standard, and no matter how talented the idea is, it cannot be turned into reality, which is equal to zero.

Just like the planetary strategy proposed by scientists now, to develop those planets in the universe.

Everyone knows that this is correct, for the development of mankind, this step must be taken, but unfortunately the real technology cannot keep up, and the strategy can only be a strategy on paper!

Cultivating capitalists, politicians, and mouth experts? Ferdinand said Bulgaria did not need these people.

Where is the population base of more than 60 million, even if there is no training, the number of these people will not be small, where is the special training?

Chekov was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, as a country's Minister of Education, he was actually fooled, which seemed to be a good policy, but in fact the consequences were very serious.

Once the degradation of education at the grassroots level occurs, can it not be affected by the education at the top level?

Now it is a closed education, everyone has a good learning atmosphere, and they are studying hard for their own future and the future of their families.

Once out of school, don't expect these little people to be able to resist so many temptations in society, it's unrealistic.

Ferdinand was deeply touched by the self-control of primary school students.

The transition from a good child to a bear child only takes a day or two, and if a bear child wants to become a good child again, it may have to wait for the rest of his life.

As if enough of the scolding was enough, Ferdinand said slowly: "Okay, take the plan back and redo it!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chekov hurriedly replied

Sure enough, the subordinates still have to scold! —Ferdinand quotes

Ferdinand was very suspicious that Chekov was deliberately looking for scolding today, for the simple reason of showing his presence.

For politicians, the face is ironclad, Chekov was once simple, and after so many years, he has long become a fritter.

There is a good saying - scold you, that's about you!

Being scolded by the king, which many people can't ask for, there is nothing to be ashamed of. If Ferdinand didn't scold, he could pack his bags and get out, this is politics!

Chekov's heart is broken, the conscience of heaven and earth, he really didn't deliberately look for scolding, as Ferdinand's descendant, does he need to brush up his presence like this?

You know, when he is in his current position, who would dare to ignore his existence? Can you sinn yourself?

So now he's out of luck, and soon more people will be out of luck!

He didn't find out about such a big problem, it was his dereliction of duty, and so many people in the Ministry of Education didn't find out, that was everyone's dereliction of duty.

Usually when this happens, someone will get out, and the first person to bear the brunt is naturally the planner, and none of the relevant responsible persons should try to run away.

Otherwise, isn't the king's scolding in vain? This is a slap in the face of Ferdinand!

The king has said that the people who make this plan are idiots, then they are idiots, and an incompetent hat cannot be taken off.
