Bulgaria's NEP has proven to be effective, with strong government intervention in the market and increased financial investment in infrastructure to save jobs.

Although many enterprises are now derailed, and many national capitalists are forced to do the work of contract foremen, but this is a small section, compared to the wave of unemployment in European countries at this time, the Bulgarian people are still lucky, at least they still have jobs!

In the second half of 1899, the global economy was in turmoil. After 1900, the economic crisis really took hold, and after six years of prosperity, many industries in the capitalist world faced a large amount of overproduction, and the Russian financial crisis was at least the trigger for it.

None of the world's major industrial countries can be immune, basically the more developed the industry and the more prosperous the economy, the greater the impact!

Among them, the emerging countries have suffered particularly serious losses, including Bulgaria, which have not caught up with the upsurge of carving up the world, and lack sufficient markets for domestic industrial and commercial goods.

Everyone has to think about using the sword in their hands to seize more land for their own plows, so this economic crisis will also have a huge impact on the future world pattern!

The newly rising countries have made different choices, and Bulgaria has just entered the threshold of an industrial country, and the total amount of industry is not very large.

Ferdinand survived the crisis by tapping into domestic demand and trade protectionist measures, and the government also increased infrastructure investment. Coupled with the large migration and the consumption of a large amount of supplies, Bulgaria was the first to come out of the economic crisis. By the end of 1900, it was once again on the fast track of rapid economic growth.

In the midst of the economic crisis, the Germans made the same choice as they did in history, grabbing the traditional markets of the British in Europe.

Although after the outbreak of the Anglo-Boer War, the German business industry was already doing it, but there were still some scruples, and now it is even more excessive.

The Germans have just been put on the side by the British, and with a heart of revenge, the unscrupulous European continent snatched the market share of the British! It was by robbing the British market that the Germans were able to get out of the economic crisis, and the total economic volume surpassed the British from the beginning of the twentieth century!

Of course, this refers to the total economic volume that exceeds that of the British mainland, and if you add the colonies, the British Empire is still the well-deserved world leader!

Therefore, some people in later generations regarded the "Anglo-Boer War" as a turning point for the British Empire from prosperity to decline!

The Italians also made the same choice, but unfortunately the limited industrial strength failed in this round of competition, and the time to get out of the economic crisis was a little late, and they could only continue to be at the bottom of the great powers!

In order to get out of the crisis, the Americans have also embarked on the road of expansion, and "open door" and "golden yuan diplomacy" are their signature policies!

Japan, on the other hand, intensified its invasion of its neighbors and got rid of the economic crisis by plundering its neighbors!

……

"Your Majesty, something has happened in the Far East, and our embassy in Beijing has sent a message that the Boxer Rebellion has broken out within the Great Qing Empire, and the situation may be out of control, and the legation intends to send troops to intervene!" Foreign Minister Metyev said flatly

The changes in the Manchu Qing Dynasty had little to do with Bulgaria, and the rising Bulgaria was not yet able to stretch its hand that far, and if it were not for the Russian Far East strategy, it is estimated that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would not even be interested in paying attention.

Ferdinand's cheeks trembled slightly, and his heart was very uneasy, and he recovered quickly.

Should come or will come, what can you do if you think so much? In any case, he had no way to convince the rotten Manchu government, let alone the European powers!

"Pay close attention to the development of the situation in the Far East, but don't get involved, Bulgaria doesn't have much interest there, it's not worth our participation!" Ferdinand said in a flat tone as much as he could

Since he was unable to intervene, Ferdinand simply came out of sight. Of course, Ferdinand was not capable of interfering in the affairs of the Eight-Nation Alliance; But if Bulgaria is not involved, he is still capable of doing it!

Ferdinand is now almost certain that the "Eight-Nation Coalition War of Aggression against China" will break out, just look at the economic crisis, the capitalist world is in need of an outlet, and the Manchu government happens to have sent it to the door!

Time flew by, and in May 1900, at the request of the legation, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Austria, Italy, Japan, and the United States mobilized 426 naval forces from Dagukou and swaggered into Beijing. This action angered the vast majority of patriotic people, and the situation began to get out of control!

As the situation deteriorated, on June 10, the Eight Powers formed an alliance of 2,100 troops to attack Beijing under the command of Seymour, commander of the British East Asian Fleet, but were met with heroic resistance from the people, and the first wave of the coalition attack was delayed by the patriotic people with their lives.

However, on June 21, a strange edict of declaration of war by the Manchu government came out, which neither stated who the country declared war was, nor submitted it to any embassy, and then was understood by various countries as a declaration of war to the whole world, which was the famous "Edict of Declaration of War of All Nations" incident in Cixi!

(50,000 words omitted at the end, everyone can check it)

The result was a Xinchou treaty, the British came up with a "southeast mutual guarantee", the Russians occupied the northeast, and the British and Russian hegemons began to compete for the Far East. The actions of the Russians in the northeast blocked the path of Japanese expansion, and with the support of the British, the contradictions between Japan and Russia began to intensify.

Due to the contradictions between the great powers, the countries could not reach an agreement on the partition of the Manchu Qing and finally had to compromise, and the "open door" and "preservation of the Manchu Qing" proposed by the Americans became the consensus among the countries. (For the sake of safety, it's better to stop)

……

After Ferdinand received the news, he could only sigh and stop there!

By this time, the work of immigration in Bulgaria had come to an end. It began in 1897 and lasted three years until 1900.

During this period, the Bulgarian government emigrated more than 4.26 million people from the Ottoman Empire, and at the same time sent more than 2.67 million people to the Ottoman Empire!

This number far exceeds the Bulgarian government's estimates, and if it weren't for the language requirements, Ferdinand estimated that there would be a few more millions, and there were not many ethnic minorities in the Ottoman Empire who didn't want to run!

As for which of them are the real Bulgarians, it doesn't matter anymore, anyway, the Bulgarians are a mixed race, and no one can say how to divide them!

The current approach adopted by Ferdinand is to divide it by cultural inheritance, anyway, as long as the culture is similar and identifies with Bulgaria, it can be counted.

At the same time, there was good news from the cultural circles that the compilation of the History of the Origin of the Bulgarian Nation had been completed, and Ferdinand personally participated in the review and proposed revisions.

This work dates all the way back to the second century B.C. The Paobolgars, who migrated from the Western Regions of China to Eastern Europe, were mixed with the Slavs, and then in the years that followed, they mixed with other peoples, eventually forming the Bulgarians.

These are all true, and then some exaggerations and some historical stories are used to prove that the Balkan peoples are all part of the Bulgarian race, and everyone has the same ancestor!

It was only under the conspiracy of the Ottomans that it gradually split, and then the direct national contradictions of all ethnic groups were provoked by the Ottomans! In short, all the responsibility was thrown to the Ottoman Empire!

Oh, this question, there is no one to answer anymore, judging from the bloodline, it seems that everyone really has a little relationship, as for the division of the nation, the future generations are arguing!

Whether others believe it or not, Ferdinand believed! Then this "History of the Origin of the Bulgarian Nation" became an enlightenment book for Bulgarian students, and they began to brainwash from an early age.

And, under Ferdinand's instructions, this "History of the Origin of the Bulgarian Nation" quickly spread throughout the Balkans, including Montenegro, Greece, Romania, Austria-Hungary, and even the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire.

In Bulgaria it was regarded as an enlightenment book, and also, Ferdinand did not explicitly say that it was a history book! Naturally, it is not possible to spread abroad, and in order to be able to spread it, it is completely spread in the name of it, and it has also caused controversy among scholars from all over the world.

Anyway, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and the more fierce everyone argues, the more widely the book will spread!

This is what Ferdinand learned from later generations, just like the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which was directly regarded as the official history by many people, and a bunch of experts came out to study it.

As long as someone believed, Ferdinand's plan was successful. In addition to the "History of the Origin of the Bulgarian Nation", there is also a series of histories of the origins of the Balkan peoples, in short, everyone has been removed from the relationship, and the Ottoman Empire has always been faithful to the villain.

In order to disseminate the history of the origins of the nation, Ferdinand ordered the adaptation of plays, fairy tales, and films, starting from Bulgaria and spreading to the world.

According to the book, the pure-blood race has disappeared from the Balkans due to the changes of time.

Now Bulgarians, Greeks, Romanians, Armenians, Serbs, Blacks, Macedonians...... These dozens of peoples were born of the same origin and were divided under the conspiracy of the Ottoman Empire.

A little further afield, Russians, Ukrainians, Poles, Germans, Hungarians...... We are all close relatives, and the peoples of Eastern Europe are one!

It is obvious that the back is all nonsense, but it is precisely this nonsense in the back that has prompted the widespread circulation of this history of the origin of the nation!

Because these contents are in the interests of the ruling class, both Austria-Hungary and the Russian Empire are multi-ethnic states, and the majority nationalities are less than half of them.

According to the history of the origin of the nation, we are all one family, at least a closely related race. Then many national problems have been solved, and under the joint action of the ruling class, a magnificent turn towards history has begun!
