The fall of the Second Pacific Fleet had far-reaching consequences for the tsarist government, and in addition to the military impact, the political impact was fatal.

Since the Black Sea Fleet has been buried in the Far East, the historical uprising of the officers and men of the Black Sea Fleet naturally does not exist.

However, what should come will come! The social contradictions in Russia, which were suppressed by the tsarist government, can no longer be suppressed! The dissatisfaction of all sectors of society with the tsarist government has reached the extreme point of outbreak!

On March 14, 1905, 12,000 workers at the Tilov plant in St. Petersburg went on strike to protest against the factory owners' wage deductions.

This move quickly led to a crowd of workers in other factories who responded in response, and the number of strikers reached 150,000 in just one week!

On March 26, under the planning of well-intentioned people, more than 100,000 workers gathered in the Hermitage Square to prepare to submit a petition to the Tsar.

It called for freedom of speech and the press, an eight-hour working day, land ownership by peasants, and the convening of a constituent assembly.

Oh, and as a result, when Nicholas II did not receive the petition, the military and police directly suppressed the petitioning workers, and caused thousands of casualties, known as "Bloody Sunday".

Ferdinand knew that the fuse of the Russian Revolution was coming!

He thought that under his butterfly effect, Bulgaria had imported more than 2 million laborers from Russia, and the class contradictions in Russia had eased, and the revolution would not have broken out.

Unexpectedly, the fuse of the revolution was only a few months later than in history, so the Russian Revolution should have entered the countdown!

Ferdinand knew that Nicholas II was in big trouble this time, and judging from the intelligence gathered by the intelligence services, this time it was an operation planned by the revolutionaries, the capitalists, and even someone in the tsarist government was involved in this conspiracy!

It is impossible to think that some people say that Nicholas II was stupid, planned the workers' demonstrations himself, and sent the military and police to ambush and suppress them in advance, right?

The conditions put forward by the workers were even more funny: the working class went on strike, not raising the issue of wages, but was more concerned with constitutionalism and freedom of speech, and if it weren't for the eight-hour workday, Ferdinand wondered who was fighting for it.

Is the quality of the Russian working class so high in this era? Ferdinand expressed doubts? Can a group of illiterate people make so many demands with obvious political implications, and precisely because they are all demands that the tsarist government could not do? How could this be possible if no one planned it?

The so-called military and police ambush and suppression in the back are even more nonsense, even if you want to act, you have to do it in advance? Wait for hundreds of thousands to gather before acting? Killing more than a thousand people and letting others go, isn't this waiting for them to rebel?

It is clear that there are people in the tsarist government who are pushing the hand, and they are no longer satisfied with the status quo, as if they are planning to learn from the British constitutional monarchy!

But Nicholas II's next deal was to make frequent tricks. Don't hurry up to appease the workers, clean up the moths inside, and throw a few scapegoats out!

On the contrary, they sided with the bourgeoisie, blindly suppressed the workers' movement, and finally lost the hearts of the people! To say that he is a reactionary tsar is really not wrong at all!

Oh, the internal problems of Russia, Ferdinand knew about it, but he had no intention of meddling. Instead, they took advantage of the internal chaos of the Russians and fished in troubled waters.

Now that the factories are closed, the unscrupulous capitalists will naturally not pay their wages. Many people are forced to go down the path of crime after losing their income.

Russia's social order began to deteriorate sharply, and vicious incidents such as robbery and murder continued to be staged in the streets and alleys every day, and the lives of ordinary people were even more miserable!

In this case, of course, Ferdinand is not welcome, the society is unstable, and it is a good time to poach!

Those ordinary engineers are the target of his poaching this time, anyway, their base is large, and they are mixed with ordinary workers, and in the context of the great chaos, no one will pay attention to the lack of a few people!

If conditions permit, he doesn't mind abducting a few scientists, anyway, they are all acting in the name of non-governmental organizations, and it is normal for companies to dig each other's walls!

Not only that, but due to the turmoil in Russia, the number of immigrants began to skyrocket, and Bulgaria was their first choice!

Anyway, it's close, you can wait and see the situation, if you don't feel comfortable in the future, you can wait for the situation to stabilize and then go back, just take a vacation!

At the same time, spring came for the Bulgarian business community, and due to the repression of the military and police, the strike movement soon swept the country.

And the tsarist government did not take timely measures to appease the people and punish the culprits, which allowed the contradictions to expand, and even triggered a violent revolution, which dealt a fatal blow to Russian industrial production!

It also created an opportunity for the Bulgarian business community, and now that the economic situation in Russia is not good, ordinary people are not having a good time, and cheap goods have become their first choice!

If it's cheap, who can compare to Bulgaria now? It's all a knockoff, and it's also about tax advantages! Wumart may not be able to do it, but the price is made to the extreme by Ferdinand!

Now Russia's civilian commodity field has been divided between Bulgaria and France, the French occupy the middle and upper markets, and Bulgaria occupies the middle and lower markets.

After the revolution in Russia, it immediately attracted the attention of the whole world, especially the Japanese, who saw that the opportunity had come and was ready to take advantage of the fire.

It's a pity that Nicholas II's reaction quickly gave them a blow in the face. "Land reparations"? Dream on, I'm going to keep fighting!

Don't look at the strikes everywhere in Russia, there is chaos in the country, but the materials on the front line can still be barely supplied!

More than 400,000 Russian troops in the Far East are still fighting with the Japanese, and they don't look like they're going to lose at all!

Now the Bulgarian industry is like a part of the Russians, working at full speed to make them munitions, and even if they can't supply them occasionally, Ferdinand will use the stocks to give them first!

Then the Japanese government was tragic, and most of the European countries in history wanted the Russians to lose the war, and basically tried to pull back their legs.

Even the French did not want the Russians to continue to fight the Japanese, so their support for the war was very limited, and everyone was not very keen on exporting arms!

Of course, Ferdinand thought that the French capitalists did not look down on the small amount of money that exported guns, and what was the benefit compared to usury?

Moreover, the Germans are always threatening the security of the French mainland, and for the sake of the country's strategic security, how can the French government find a way to pull the Russians back? Compared to this, the insignificant gun profit is not worth mentioning!

This was the core factor that forced the tsarist government to finally make a compromise with the Japanese, even so, the tsarist government still held the attitude of not ceding land and not paying reparations, and it was successful!

Not to mention now, the scale of this uprising was much smaller due to the Ferdinand butterfly effect, and the revolution was soon suppressed by the tsarist government!

Although the strikes continued, Bulgaria's nascent industrial system was giving them blood transfusions.

Not to mention how strong Bulgaria's industry is now, it still has a clear advantage over Japan, which is not yet fully industrialized, especially in the field of heavy industry!

The war lasted in 1906, and the Japanese Army finally conquered Port Arthur after unremitting efforts, but they still had Liaoyang and Mukden in front of them......

As the uprising was quickly extinguished, the situation in Russia began to improve, and the tsarist government was more emboldened to continue the war.

took out an attitude that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, if you want to fight, you can fight, anyway, I will not compromise!

Now the British and the French are desperate for an armistice between Japan and Russia, so that the Russians can regain their strength and throw themselves into the European continent to suppress the rising Germans!

Unfortunately, the Russians did not buy it, and the tsarist government feared that if it compromised with Japan, it would likely cause further turmoil in the domestic situation.

Therefore, even if the debt was high, the tsarist government still wanted to continue the war and try to use time to drag down the Japanese!

The government had to find a way to raise military funds for the Japanese again, and the finances of the Tokyo government at this time were already running out of oil.

Even the colonies of North Korea and Taiwan were taken out by them as collateral and mortgaged to the consortium, but unfortunately it was still not enough!

As in the same period in history, the Japanese government relied entirely on loans and debts provided by the British and Americans to get to Japan, but now the fiscal hole is a little bigger!

In the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese spent 1.8 billion yen on military expenses (1 yen is about 0.75 grams of gold, about 184 million pounds).

But due to Ferdinand's butterfly effect, the Japanese are now on the verge of reaching this figure in their military spending, but the war is still going on!

Not only the Japanese government's finances could not stand it, but even the Russians' finances were not good, with military spending of 1.7 billion rubles (1 ruble is about 0.774 grams of gold, about 1.8 pounds).

On the face of it, it seems that the Russians have taken advantage and spent less on their military. In essence, the tsarist government would rather spend more than the total annihilation of the Pacific Fleet! The Navy is finished, and this part of the military budget will naturally be saved!

In addition, the weapons and ammunition imported by the Japanese government are all high-priced goods, and in addition, they are limited by the neutrality treaty, and they have to change hands once in a third country!

In comparison, the Russians are much better, at least Ferdinand did not dare to take advantage of the fire to rob, or settle according to the international price before the war, which is considered a saving in this regard!

Unfortunately, the Russians had high freight rates, and in order to speed up the process, they had to organize a large number of manpower to transport materials around the clock, and the price was naturally not cheap in the Far East.

Oh, if it's just military spending in the Far East, the Russian government can still afford it. The key is the revolutionary movement in the country, which is deadly!

The economic losses inflicted on Russia by the strike movement throughout the country were immeasurable. Many industries have been devastated, and the total industrial output of Russia is now less than half of what it was before the war!

Ferdinand, the mastermind behind all this, is now the most loyal ally in the hearts of the Russians!

From the current outbreak to the present, the Bulgarian government has always stood on the side of the Russians without wavering in the slightest!

It has to be said that politics is dark!
