Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 17, 5-year plan

Contrary to Ferdinand's expectations, Stam's cabinet was much easier to deal with than expected. Originally, Ferdinand had already made preparations. His own "Draft Five-Year Plan" was rejected, and the cabinet was ready to formulate a new one.

Unexpectedly, the political level of this group of Liberals is so ignorant that they will hand over their dominance.

Once this plan is passed by the National Assembly, then Ferdinand will be the leader. As a matter of course, he can get some rights from the Liberal Party.

If successful, Ferdinand's position will be solidified. Failure can completely make the cabinet take the blame, and a little lead people to question the government's ability to govern, and they can retreat completely.

The method is a bit mean, but very effective. After a few years of aristocratic life, the former diaosi has now transformed into a politician, although his skills are still a little immature.

After more than half a month of work, Stam's cabinet finally perfected the five-year plan. In order to balance the interests of all parties, there are more and more clauses covering all aspects of Bulgaria.

When they were delivered to Ferdinand, there were already more than 300 pieces, large and small. Frankly speaking, this plan is still good, but the biggest problem is that it is too radical.

In Ferdinand's view, this is a complete Great Leap Forward, which can be accomplished in theory, but the reality is that the government has to do too much!

This is a common problem of idealism, always wanting to get things done at once. Ferdinand did not raise objections. If this plan was really completed, Bulgaria would be the hegemon of the Balkans.

It's better not to come out and pour cold water now. Judging from the change in Stam's attitude, his calculations have now been discerned. But it was because of Bulgaria's development that it could not come out to oppose it.

January 5, 1888, was called "Bulgarian Revival Day" by later historians. Stam's cabinet submitted the "Five-Year Plan" that shocked the world to the National Assembly, laying the foundation for the rise of Bulgaria.

The National Assembly, dominated by the Liberals, passed the resolution without any risk, and Ferdinand also signed it on the spot, announcing that the bill came into effect, and Bulgaria's vigorous "Five-Year Plan" began.

There are too many terms, but it is just convenient for Ferdinand to seize power. Ferdinand, with his broken integrity, immediately held a cabinet meeting.

Looking at the excited cabinet members, Ferdinand naturally asked with a smile: "Prime Minister, now that the plan has been made, where do you plan to start next?"

Stam Bolov was blinded all of a sudden, and patronized to make plans, but how to implement it?

You must know that Ferdinand only mentioned five points, if everyone works hard, it can still be done! Now this supplement has more than 300 pieces of perfect size, how to complete it? How many people are needed? Where to start?

All are problems! But as a prime minister, you can't play stupid and think about nothing! Everyone is looking at it. If they can't come up with any feasible suggestions, it will be a huge blow to their prestige.

Stam-Bolov knows that the trouble is big, and he is not without competitors. If he can't show a certain ability, even these cabinet members will have ideas for the prime minister's seat!

After a moment of silence, Stam bit his head and said, "Your Excellency the Grand Duke, please believe that our cabinet will definitely come up with a satisfactory strategy!"

"Well, of course I believe in the ability of the cabinet, but now is a critical moment for Bulgaria's development, and the people are watching us. I hope you can come up with a feasible plan within three days!" Ferdinand pretended to look forward to it. Say

Stambolov knew that he had been tricked, and he didn't know how he got out of the palace, so he returned home in a daze.

What happened today has made everyone dissatisfied. Like most of the Liberals, they have high eyes and low hands, which is also a common problem of revolutionaries all over the world!

A staff discussion was convened, and everyone agreed that he had been pitted by the king. But this plan was completed by Stam Bolov with the cabinet members,

Ferdinand only mentioned a mere five points, and they came up with more than 300, and no one would believe it!

"What should I do now? I have to do something about this, or I can't explain it?" Stam Borof said with a headache

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, this plan has been passed, and the opposition parties are singing praises for us! It is impossible to give up, we have to complete at least half of it before we can explain it!" staff

"Well, you're right, this is no longer my business. If I don't get results, no one in the entire cabinet can run away, and the Liberal Party can't get rid of the relationship!" Stam-Bolov understood what Kobiff meant and pulled When people go into the water, everyone is happy when they succeed, and when they fail, no one can run.

Ignoring the cabinet's thoughts, Ferdinand knew that this matter was easier said than done. It's nothing more than a plan. No matter whether there is or not, it is impossible to complete all the tasks. As long as you complete the main five Ferdinands, you will be satisfied!

If the cabinet can break out once and it's all done, he will only be happier. Anyway, he will be the one who deserves the credit.

After three days, as expected by Ferdinand, Stam's cabinet really came up with a plan, although it was full of loopholes in Ferdinand's opinion!

Ferdinand nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Yes! But with so many things, can you be busy? Why not split it up? Each department is responsible for some, and the cabinet is responsible for organization and coordination, isn't it better?"

Seeing everyone's eyes light up, Stam Borov's expression darkened. This is a poor picture, and the key is that people can't refute.

That's right, Ferdinand's ultimate goal is to decentralize power. As long as the power is removed, it will be troublesome to take it back.

The ministries were strengthened and the cabinet was weakened, mainly aimed at Prime Minister Stam Bolov, most of whose cabinet members also served as ministers of various ministries, and there was no loss of power.

Ferdinand couldn't tolerate the existence of a powerful minister. If Stam Borof was really a genius, then he would also endure it. It is a pity that history has told him that Stam does not have the ability of the Jagged Prime Minister.

In the Bulgarian cabinet, in addition to Prime Minister Stambolov, there are five members in total, Economy Minister Michael, Industry Minister Wilson, Defense Minister Sowell, and Interior Minister Yunas.

The cabinet already has a lot of work, and it is impossible to manage hundreds of projects. Decentralization is the most effective way.

Stam and several others looked at each other, and he knew that the four had agreed, and he could no longer refuse.

However, Stam still had to express himself and said, "Your Excellency the Grand Duke is right. It is necessary to divide the tasks. We must also have a division of labor, and each of us is responsible for a part."

After speaking, Stam's face sank. After today, the cabinet will no longer be his word, and the status of others will gradually move closer to him.
