Chapter One Hundred and Six, the Situation Expands
As it turned out, Ferdinand guessed wrong, and the Rose Film Festival did not provoke a lot of criticism.
Filmmakers in this era have not yet had such lofty qualifications as playing art, and in this era of rampant big studios, the box office is everything.
In the eyes of capitalists, a movie with a high box office is a good movie, so as the champion of the world film box office list, "The Road to the Rise of Bulgaria" is the best film in the world.
You must know that this legendary movie, since the first one was born five years ago and has continued until now, has not been drawn from the cinema.
Whenever there is a shortage of films in the theater, he will be taken out of the top cylinder, and every time a sequel is born, it will once again bring the old films to life, and many people will go to watch them again.
Such a long-lasting movie is simply the favorite of the capitalists! The boss thinks it's a good movie, how dare the people at the bottom talk nonsense?
With the explosion of this war blockbuster, it is naturally indispensable to imitate it, for example: "Napoleon the Great" filmed by the French, which broke the box office record in France and can be a mess at the box office in other countries.
No way, who let the legend of Napoleon be built on the premise that the European countries failed and served as a background wall?
The French people love this movie, but the people of other countries are different, and they are really not happy to see their own country being spanked and urinated.
In order to meet the preferences of the French people, a love story was added to it for the first time, and the movie story is full, but unfortunately the European people can't understand what French romance is!
The British filmed "The British Empire", and it was even more pounced from the beginning to the end, there are too many factors for the rise of the British Empire, the film integrates these factors, the artistry is out, and the box office naturally cannot be counted on.
In the era of blockbusters, there is still no need to think about it, due to the relationship between market capacity, this era is not suitable for blockbuster survival.
If it weren't for the sentimental sale, "The Road to the Rise of Bulgaria" would be a popcorn movie, and it can be seen from the box office situation around the world that the real rebellion is the domestic market.
While Ferdinand was worried about the film industry, changes took place in the Far East, with a tax resistance movement in Burma on December 27, 1926, and a strike movement in Yangon on December 29, 1926.
Due to the mishandling of the British colonial government, on February 6, 1927, the Burmese Rural Nationalist Association rebelled!
The uprising really had nothing to do with Mr. Churchill, but was largely the result of the greed of colonial government officials, who imposed a war tax on the peasants for suppressing the Malaysian rebellion.
Originally, the Burmese colonies did not share much of the war expenses, and most of them were offset by military expenses. A mere £300,000, and with more than half of the supplies, the colonial government could afford it.
But the greedy colonial officials, who took the opportunity to accumulate wealth, piled it up, and when it reached the people at the bottom, it became an astronomical amount that could not be afforded, and finally triggered this uprising.
This is an internal cause, and there is also the uprising of various ethnic groups in Southeast Asia against colonial rule, which has also affected the Myanmar region, and the idea of nationalism has spread.
It just so happened that the British colonial government stimulated their fragile nerves, and in a fit of rage, they broke out, and the flames of war officially burned to Indochina.
Soon the uprising spread like a virus, and on March 1, 1927, a coal workers' uprising broke out in Vietnam; On 4 March, another peasant uprising broke out.
In 1926, the total investment of the French in Vietnam was already as high as 2.86 billion francs (note: this is the depreciated franc, the currency value is 158 francs = 1 pound).
Vietnam produces more than 2 million tons of coal a year, two-thirds of which is exported, and in order to increase coal production, the capitalists set production quotas for workers, and there are rewards for overachievement, and wages will be deducted if they fail to do so.
Obviously, such an advanced management system is not suitable for Vietnam, perhaps because the standards set by the capitalists are too high, or the workers do not trust the French, and the final production task is not completed anyway.
In the end, the coal workers were deducted from their wages, and their income was already very limited, and they supported their families, and this deduction went wrong, and at the instigation of the revolutionaries, they rose up.
The peasant uprising was related to the expansion of rubber plantations by the French in Vietnam, and the rapid development of the automobile industry after the World War made the demand for rubber increase day by day.
In this context, investing in rubber plantations is naturally a good choice. Rubber plantations in Vietnam expanded from more than 20,000 hectares in 1920 to 138,000 hectares in 1927.
These plantations were established on the premise of grabbing the peasants' arable land, without which these people would have no livelihood, rubber plantations would not need so many people, and Vietnam's industry would not have developed.
Originally, the land in Vietnam was fertile, and the farmers only needed to scatter a few seeds to reap a good harvest, so even if the French seized some of the arable land in the beginning, they could accept it.
However, this kind of concession cannot be unlimited, with the continuous expansion of the plantation area, the Vietnamese farmers are slowly retreating, in the new round of plantation expansion, the Vietnamese farmers who were forced to rebel!
Anti-colonial uprisings broke out from the South Seas to the Indochina Peninsula, and the two largest colonial countries in the world were involved.
After the World War, another wave of anti-colonialism arose, and the revolutionary parties all over the world were excited, and the poor performance of Britain and France in extinguishing this rebellion gave them hope of success.
At this time, everyone knew the seriousness of the consequences, and the British cabinet issued an ultimatum to Churchill, asking him to suppress the rebellion in Southeast Asia within a year, otherwise he would be ready to go to court-martial!
Under these circumstances, Mr. Churchill decisively joined forces with the Dutch and launched an offensive in the South Seas, and the revolutionary party was defeated for a time.
On the other hand, the situation in Myanmar is gradually deteriorating, and the London government has to reinforce Southeast Asia.
Under pressure, the Stanley Cabinet again transferred six infantry divisions from the country, one infantry division from each of the three North American divisions, and two Australian divisions, one New Zealand division, and one Canadian division to form a new reinforcement.
"This is the best news I've ever received this year!" Ferdinand said unabashedly
Now that the British are on their way, this time they want to not only suppress the rebellion in Southeast Asia, but also re-establish their prestige there.
So the political means that the British are best at can no longer be used! Now the foundations of their colonial rule in Southeast Asia have been shaken by this rebellion.
They have no other choice but to kill a river of blood, and they can't let these rebels continue to help them rule the place, right?
The British can't do this kind of tiger breeding. You know, once it is known that rebellion does not have to pay a price, then the British Empire will really never be at peace.
The effect of the koi effect is powerful, and it is impossible for the British not to know about it, so they are in big trouble this time, and it is impossible to get through this crisis without paying a certain price!
"Your Majesty, looking at the actions of the British, I am afraid that it will not be long before they will be replaced, and Mr. Churchill is no longer trusted by the government of London.
At this time, Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin is probably not in the mood to attack his rivals.
Dragged on by Mr. Churchill for so long, the situation in Southeast Asia of the British Empire has completely gotten out of control.
If this rebellion is not quelled, I am afraid that the British will lose their colonies in Southeast Asia forever, and this consequence is not something they can bear! Foreign Minister Metyev analyzed
"Well, it's inevitable! It was not easy for the Southeast Asian colonial rebellion to hold back the British for so long.
Even if we push and let the Japanese stand up for the rebels, it will not be possible to make up for the gap in strength between the two sides, and the foundation of the British Empire is too thick.
On the contrary, it was the Kingdom of the Netherlands that was affected by the pond fish this time, and it was really a big loss of vitality, and when this rebellion ended, it would take at least ten years for the Dutch to recover! Ferdinand thought for a moment and said
"Your Majesty, not only the Dutch, but also the French are miserable this time, because the Luzon rebellion The French have changed their cabinets twice, and now there is an accident in Vietnam, they don't know what kind of infighting will happen!" Konstantin sighed
At this time, it was not in the interests of Bulgaria that the French were in infighting, after all, they were allies in the matter of causing trouble to the British.
Once the French government escalated the infighting, they would no longer be able to continue to cause trouble for the British, and Bulgaria would stumble on the British alone, and this pressure would be greatly increased.
"It is true that the strength of the French is still good, and there is no problem at all in suppressing these rebellions, but the biggest trouble is their internal struggle.
In fact, the main problem of the delay in the pacification of Luzon is that their government is unstable and cannot concentrate on counterinsurgency, as long as the French government stabilizes, this rebellion will be quickly extinguished! Metev said with a frown
"It's not up to us to ask this question now, what Bulgaria should do at this time is to hide itself!
We have already intervened too much in this Southeast Asian issue, and now we should erase all the beginning and end of our participation before the British react! Ferdinand said cautiously
This time the rebellion in Southeast Asia spread so quickly, it was not only the Japanese government that secretly contributed to the effort, they did not have such a strong strength, especially after their power in Southeast Asia was swept away by the British.
Japan sent volunteers from the military to enter Southeast Asian countries, and it was impossible to cooperate without one's cooperation. There is no doubt that Bulgaria is working on it, but it is all secretly helping.
