As the meeting continued, the maid said to Ferdinand, "Your Majesty, the Queen's call! ”

Ferdinand nodded, then got up and walked over, picked up the phone and asked, "Is there anything wrong with my dear?" ”

Xenia on the other end said a little embarrassed: "I want to discuss some private matters with you, can you come back for a trip?" ”

Ferdinand was a little puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?" Is it inconvenient to say on the phone? ”

Queen Xenia stumbled, "Yes! ”

Ferdinand was even more puzzled, but he didn't continue to ask, and said directly: "If it's not very urgent, in five or six hours, I will return to the palace." ”

Hearing this, Queen Xenia seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Okay! ”

Ferdinand once again focused on the meeting, and Queen Xenia on the other side began to worry again, the civil war in the Russian Empire has been fought for almost four years, and no matter how thick the family foundation is for such a long time, it can't withstand the toss!

In order to raise funds, Nicholas II also tried his best, the treasury was empty as early as during the world war, and it was not easy to win the war, and he received war reparations, but in order to repay the debt, he had to pay off to Britain and France.

The loan must not exist, and Britain and France are eager for Russia to continue to mess around, so how can they provide him with a loan?

If it weren't for the gains in the United States, the finances of the Nicholas II government would have collapsed by now, and even if there were gains, it would not last long with more than 10 million pounds?

Because of this war, the Russian Empire was already ruined, taxes were already a drop in the bucket, and in order to win the hearts and minds of the people, Nicholas II did not dare to raise taxes again.

Compared with the other two Russian governments, he is not bad, the country has no money, and the foundation of the tsarist family is still very thick, and he has finally supported it with his family heritage.

Now it is still untenable, since the little Nicholas I became independent, the Tsarist family has been greatly damaged in the century, and many children of the family have voted for it.

Here you can see the importance of good popularity, Nicholas II, who has always been high, is not good in this regard, coupled with his indecisive character, many people are not optimistic about him, so it is not surprising to make such a choice.

The situation has developed to the current situation, an armistice is impossible, and on the battlefield he can fight with one enemy and two, that is because he has deep pockets on his side and can raise so many troops.

Now that there is no money, it is natural to find a way, and Nicholas II has to bow his arrogant head and compromise with reality.

The European aristocracy is a family, there is no problem with this statement, but when borrowing money, everyone is a brother who settles the accounts, Nicholas II can't take out the mortgage, and it's not easy to borrow money!

This is not something that can be mortgaged, for example, Nicholas II can take out Siberia as a mortgage, but the question is that anyone dares to do it?

There is also the question of national interests, the European countries have no hope for their unity, Britain and France would rather give loans to the other two governments that are even more insolvent to repay, rather than give them a single loan, and also prevent European consortiums from lending to them!

As a last resort, Nicholas II asked for help from Xenia's sister, Bulgaria wants to carry out a ten-year plan, naturally it is impossible to provide loans to the Russians, but the Bulgarian royal family is still very rich, even if it is on the surface, it is also under the top consortium in the world!

Xenia is also in a dilemma now, if it is eight million, she can make it up by herself, but the Russian Civil War is now clearly a bottomless pit, and Nicholas II opened his mouth to ten billion leva.

She also had to think about Nicholas II's ability to repay, even if it was a brother and sister, she couldn't help without a bottom line, and how to talk to Ferdinand was also a problem!

……

Rolex Totel still said on the rostrum: "Now it is the scientific research budget, a total of 326 items, and the total investment is 5870000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The first item, research and development of power transmission and transformation technology, is expected to invest 120 million leva; (Approximately £4.8 million)

the second, the research of new elements in physics, is expected to invest 80 million leva; (about £3.2 million)

the third, metallurgical technology research and development, is expected to invest 320 million leva; (Approximately £12.8 million)

Fourth, the research and development of internal combustion engine power system, it is estimated that 100 million leva will be invested;

Fifth, the research and development of train braking system, it is estimated that 70 million leva will be invested;

Sixth, research and development in the field of chemical industry, it is estimated that 60 million leva will be invested;

the seventh, bioengineering research, is expected to invest 50 million leva;

the eighth item, crude oil exploration and development technology research and development technology research and development 320 million leva;

……”

After reading more than 300 of these contents in one sitting, Rolex Toot also had to stop and catch his breath. He picked up the rose drink on the rostrum and took a sip, and then he opened his mouth and asked, "If you have any questions now, please raise your hand!" ”

As a result, there was silence on the field, and no one questioned it, which surprised him, but after thinking about it, he found that it seemed that it was really difficult to pick on these scientific research funds!

Although some technologies can also be developed by enterprises, the pressure on this investment is still very huge for individual enterprises.

Fortunately, once it fails, such a loss is enough to make ordinary enterprises break their bones, and there is no way to do it, so the government can only bear this risk!

If the technology research and development is successful, it can be authorized to a number of enterprises to collect patent fees, and then the investment will be earned back.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, no more than later generations, many technologies have matured, and if you want to develop new technologies, most of them are in a certain aspect, carrying out detailed research and development.

In this era, most of the science and technology are still being explored, and there are many related technologies involved in an industry.

Ordinary enterprises have the strength to develop several of these technologies, but if they want to develop hundreds or thousands of related technologies, it is very fatal!

Why did science and technology develop rapidly after World War II? That is all forced, another Soviet Union is forced by the side, do European and American consortia dare to invest in scientific research without spending a lot of money?

During the First and Second World Wars, the world's scientific and technological progress in the past 20 years was quite limited, and this was the problem of scientific research costs.

For example, if a company develops a new technology, it is difficult to get the full amount of the international patent fee, except for the patent fee that can be charged in the country.

It depends on your strength if others give more or less, and many times you can't receive overseas patent fees. In this era when there is no Internet, others have copied your technology, and you have no way to defend your rights!

Let's not talk about the evidence, in the face of the bag company, it has no effect for you to sue, just throw a scapegoat out, and you will be blind!

During this period, it is inevitable that the United States will gradually catch up with scientific research and technology, and even surpass European countries, just by looking at the market.

Many small European countries have the strength to develop new technologies, but their local markets are limited, and the total amount of scientific research funding they can afford is limited.

Rolex Totel asked again: "One last question, if you have any questions, please raise your hand!" ”

There is no doubt that these projects are in line with the actual needs of Bulgaria, and there is nothing to question, and the investment in scientific research, except for professionals, no one can understand whether this is more or less?

"Okay, since everyone has no doubts, then this is the end of today's meeting, please come over on time at half past eight tomorrow morning to continue the next work!"

When the matter is over, the meeting will be dismissed directly, there will be no superfluous nonsense, and no leader will go up and say a bunch of nonsense, which is also characteristic of Bulgaria.

Ferdinand naturally got up and returned to the palace, he could not have come, but in order to show the world that he attached great importance to the "Ten Year Plan", Ferdinand chose to come every day to observe.

Tell the domestic bureaucrats with practical actions that he attaches great importance to this plan, and whoever dares to discount it will be unlucky!

At this time, Queen Xenia was taking a few small strong men and asking them to be her advisers, how to talk to Ferdinand about this problem. If little Ferdinand hadn't been sent out by Ferdinand, he should have been here by now.

The mischievous Prince Peter spoke first: "Dear Mother, this question is very simple, and there is no problem at all in wanting my father to agree!" ”

Xenia was stunned for a moment, and casually promised: "Peter, if you have any way, tell me quickly, if it works, I can consider interceding with your father and giving you a week's vacation!" ”

Before Peter could answer, Prince Caesar next to him was displeased: "Mother and me?" ”

Xenia said without hesitation: "Don't make a mess! ”

Hearing Xenia's promise, Peter excitedly said, "It's not easy, benefits! This depends on what kind of price Uncle Nikolai is willing to offer, as long as the price is right, there is nothing that cannot be negotiated! ”

Little Caesar began to heckle again: "Peter, is this a solution?" Aren't you asking your uncle to talk to your father directly? Why do you want to be fooled? ”

Xenia was glaring at Peter angrily, the meaning was obvious, the co-author was fooling me, if they could talk directly, then why would they be looking for her?

Born in the royal family, even if her political sense is no longer sensitive, she knows that the current relationship between Russia and Russia is not so simple, and how to look at a weakened Russian Empire is more in line with Bulgaria's interests!

This is Prince William, who was watching the excitement from the sidelines, and jumped out again and said: "Dear mother, you know that the international situation is a very complicated issue, and it is impossible for my uncle not to show sincerity if you want your father to agree to this loan!" ”

Little Caesar seemed unwilling to fail, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to have come up with a good idea, he said loudly: "Actually, it's not impossible, as long as you go to make trouble with your father, maybe he will agree, of course, if you add a few of us, the success rate of this will be higher!"

It's just the first to state that my appearance fee is very high, and if there is not enough interest, I am on my father's side this time! ”

Caesar's words were ridiculed by his brothers as soon as he finished speaking, and such a bad idea could be imagined.

Xenia, who had just made a move, immediately reacted, these guys were all asking for benefits, her face suddenly became gloomy, and a few little guys also stopped joking.

Prince Boris, who had not spoken all the time, spoke: "Mother, please calm your anger, what they said is actually quite reasonable, there is nothing bad to say about this question at all, you can tell your father directly."

But after all, this is 10 billion leva, if you want him to agree to this loan, you must have enough interests, at least your uncle must come up with sufficient collateral, otherwise we can't afford such a risky loan! ”

After thinking about it, Queen Xenia had to admit that what these little guys said made sense, 10 billion leva is not a million, even if everyone is relatives, it is impossible to take such a big risk?

This is only an economic risk, and it must also be taken into account that there is not enough interest, how could Ferdinand agree?

After thinking clearly, Queen Xenia smiled and said, "Okay, even if you pass the test, I'll let you go first, but have some of your homework been completed?" Don't wait for your dad to come and check it out, it's fun if it's not done! ”

Little Caesar glared angrily, in his opinion this was a naked threat, and as soon as the problem was solved, his mother began to turn her face and deny people!

Peter next to him is not much better, and his grades are not much better, of course, this is according to Ferdinand's standards, if he is put outside, it is far beyond his peers!

The other little guys are about to laugh out loud, as if to say, we are all top students and fearless!

After a little revenge on the two troublemakers, Queen Xenia was in a much better mood, and she decided that this problem should be left to her brother Nicholas II to have a headache herself, anyway, the Russian imperial state has a great cause, and it shouldn't be a problem to take out the collateral!
