Chapter 60, laying out the future

The biggest immigration problem was perfectly solved, and Ferdinand pulled out of the negotiations. After all, he is not engaged in diplomacy, and it is better to leave professional matters to professionals.

This does not mean that Ferdinand did not care about the negotiations that followed. On the contrary, it is too caring. Think about the historical Franco-Russian alliance, just a military alliance took more than three years to get it done.

The Russian-Bulgarian alliance involves more aspects, and hundreds of large and small treaties will be signed. Even in group negotiations, the most optimistic estimates are a few months.

Ferdinand didn't have that much energy, and now that it's 1891, time is running out, and it's time to start laying out.

After the crossing, Ferdinand took over the family's intelligence organization, expanded it, and now has begun to take shape. At least in major European countries, they have set up strongholds, and it is not a problem to pass on news and guide a small wave of public opinion.

But the so-called spy infiltration, Ferdinand can only be hehe. If you want to rely on them to inquire about confidential information, it is better to rely on family connections.

The Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty, now in its most glorious era, was the German Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, the royal families of Belgium, Portugal, Bulgaria, and the future Edward VII of England was also a member of its family.

It is also one of the most powerful families in Europe and the world. If Ferdinand was to do business, these resources would be sufficient.

But Ferdinand knew none of this was reliable. Once there is a conflict of interest, these relationships are unreliable. The wars in Europe have been civil wars between relatives since ancient times, and the First World War is a typical example.

The current intelligence organization is increasingly unable to keep up with the needs of Bulgarian development. As a history buff, Ferdinand knew how the Ming Dynasty fell.

Since Chongzhen ascended the throne, the factory guards were abolished, the balance of power was lost, the emperor became blind, and the officials were corrupt and corrupted, resulting in financial collapse and finally extinction.

What does a factory guard do? If you just watch TV dramas and listen to the public's boasting, it is an eagle dog, rampant among the people of the world. It is the weapon of the eunuch party and the culprit of the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Those who know history know that the duties of factory guards are equivalent to the current Independent Commission Against Corruption, and they only target officials, regardless of ordinary people.

Anyway, no matter how they toss, the unlucky ones are the bureaucrats, how well the work is done, don't make an evaluation, but no matter how you can't cancel it!

Well, the agency that supervises the officials is gone, so what are you afraid of, hurry up and make money! Later, Chongzhen found out that something was wrong and used the factory guard again, but unfortunately it was too late, and the bureaucrats had already prepared.

Naturally, Ferdinand had to learn a lesson, and of course the intelligence organization had to hold it in his hands.

Historically, Bulgaria missed the best opportunity to expand and lost the opportunity to rise, and Ferdinand certainly had to learn a lesson.

"Fuhu, now your main job is to speed up the infiltration into Ottoman Turkey, I don't care if you are coercive or kidnapping, you must open the situation as soon as possible!" Ferdinand summoned Fuhu and said solemnly

"Yes, Your Excellency! We have already established a stronghold in Ottoman, and I will transfer elite manpower again to speed up the layout and open up the situation as soon as possible! Fuhu said confidently

"Well, that's not all. And also infiltration into Greece, Romania, Serbia, Montenegro, Romania! Ferdinand said cautiously

"Your Excellency, rest assured, our Intelligence Department will definitely do our best to complete it!" Fuhu's face changed slightly, and after pondering for a while, he gave Ferdinand a satisfactory answer.

Seeing Fuhu's affirmative answer, Ferdinand said with some embarrassment: "Not only that, but you also have to send people to North Africa, where the British and French forces converge to lurk; There is also the intersection of Anglo-German forces lurking in South Africa, with a focus on the Republic of Teswa and the Orange Freedom Bond. ”

Fuhu looked at Ferdinand dumbfounded, his heart had already burst, and he thought to himself: The Grand Duke's thinking is too jumpy! Penetration into the Ottomans and the Balkans, this is understandable. East Africa, South Africa, what other two republics, who knows what the hell?

Ferdinand seemed to have noticed Ferhu's strangeness, and he also knew what he was asking for, which seemed strange at the time. He didn't explain, and asked directly: "Fuhu, what's your problem?" ”

Fuhu seemed to realize that he had lost his temper and hurriedly said, "No! Your Excellency, I have no objection! ”

Ferdinand nodded with satisfaction, the head of the intelligence organization, there is no need to ask why, just follow the order.

"How long will it take for the intelligence department to complete my request above?" Ferdinand

Fu Hu thought for a while and said: "Your Excellency, if it is all completed, the most optimistic estimate will be about ten years!" Mainly in the African region, it is still a blank slate for us, without any foundation! ”

Ferdinand said solemnly: "No, before 1896, your intelligence department must complete its mission!" ”

It seemed that the request was too much, and added: "In Africa, as long as you can guarantee one or two big events, you don't have to think about long-term lurking!" ”

"The European part of the Ottoman Empire, there must be detailed information, including the anti-government forces, and the Asian part can be relaxed! Balkan countries can keep planning a few big events on it! ”

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, our intelligence department will guarantee the completion of the mission!" Fuhu thought about it, and after lowering the standard, if he worked hard, he could still complete it, and immediately assured.

"Hmmm! Next, the funding of your intelligence department will be doubled, and you can come to me if you need anything! But this mission must be completed! Ferdinand said cautiously

"Yes!" Forhu affirmed

……

Ferdinand had long established a rule that intelligence organizations were divided into: primary infiltration, only responsible for collecting public intelligence, or guiding a wave of public opinion; Intermediate lurk, you can engage in two or three major activities, such as assassination and terrorist attacks; Full infiltration, long-term incubation, deep into the place.

At the moment, only in Bulgaria has the highest level of incubation been completed, and most of the other regions are primary, and some regions are intermediate.

After sending Fuhu away, Ferdinand took his eyes back to the country, and he had to be hard to strike iron! The core of a country's strength lies in itself, and other auxiliaries.

Now, only Ferdinand knew that in 1897 the Balkans would usher in great changes. The Ottoman Empire is about to face a situation full of wolves, and what if Ferdinand doesn't take advantage of it!

Parallel time and space, the Ottoman Empire has decayed, and national contradictions are intensifying day by day. Under the brutal oppression of the Turkish government, the Armenians began to rebel against the rule of the Sultan.

Between 1894 and 1897, a series of massacres of Armenians took place in Turkey, killing more than 100,000 people.

In June 1896, the Armenians launched an uprising, and on August 26 they captured the Ottoman Bank in Constantinople. However, due to the lack of weapons and ammunition of the rebel army, it was quickly defeated by the Sudanese army.

This is only the largest of them, and other ethnic minorities have also broken out in various uprisings during this period. Due to the lack of organization, they all quickly failed.

As if to see the weakness of the Ottoman Empire, in 1897, there was an uprising in Crete, in which Greece participated, and the "rare earth war" broke out.

The Greeks were not mistaken, the Ottomans were indeed terminally ill, but unfortunately overestimated their strength.

In the conditions of inadequate preparation, the attack on Turkey was hastily launched, and soon suffered a crushing defeat, and the Turkish army attacked all the way to Attica. Greece was forced to admit defeat and ceased war with the intervention of the Great Powers!

What was Bulgaria doing at this time in history? Of course, they are busy with political construction, everyone is fighting for power and profit, who can care about foreign countries!

These problems are still being solved later. Now Bulgaria's focus is on development. The opening of the "Sorb" railway also meant that Bulgaria's heavy industry could take off.

In a few months, the branch line to the Balkan Mountains will be connected. At that time, iron ore from the Balkans will be able to be transported out by rail.

To Ferdinand's distress, Bulgaria lacked coking coal for steelmaking, and had to import it from Russia, which would inevitably be constrained in the future.

This strengthened Ferdinand's determination to take the Macedonian region, and the mineral resources alone were worth the ticket price. Having taken the Macedonian region, the main mineral resources of Bulgaria's industrialization can be solved in the next two decades.
