Bulgarian Empire

In a calm, on May 6, 1898, the Kingdom of Bulgaria was established. \u00261t;/p\u003e

To be honest, Ferdinand really couldn't tell the difference between the current kingdom and the previous Grand Duchy. Bulgaria is still the original Bulgaria, but everyone is still keen on it! \u00261t;/p\u003e

After the Kingdom of Bulgaria was established, Ferdinand was officially promoted to "King". Of course, his life remained the same. There was no overhaul of the palace or changes in regulations as people imagined. It seems that this is not popular in the Western world. \u00261t;/p\u003e

...\u00261t;/p\u003e

"Your Majesty, the British are lobbying European countries to give up their support for the Boers. How should we respond?" At the cabinet meeting, Foreign Minister Megeve said anxiously\u00261t;/p\u003e

Ferdinand knew that what was supposed to come would still come, but he didn't expect that John Bull would have the countries regroup so soon. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Obviously this time, the British did not set their sights on the big countries. Everyone knew that no matter which one of Germany, France, Austria and Russia could withstand their pressure, but the second-class small countries could not. \u00261t;/p\u003e

The brunt of it was Portugal. Without the threat of the Spaniards, the Portuguese could stand in line again. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Due to the contradictions between the Allied Powers and the Allied Powers, Ferdinand did not think that European countries could jointly put pressure on the Portuguese, otherwise the "Spanish-American War" would not have broken out. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Even if the British and the Americans join forces, they are now unable to resist the unanimous decision of the entire European continent. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Now Bulgaria is also being forced to stand in line, and Ferdinand is repelled in his heart. This time standing in line will determine the future direction of Bulgaria's diplomacy. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Not only the British are watching, but the Allied Powers and the Allied Powers are also paying attention. If they continue to be consistent with the Russians, there is no doubt that the day when Bulgaria joins the Allied Powers will not be far away. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Then the friendly relationship between Bulgaria and the Triple Alliance is about to come to an end. After all, the strength of Bulgaria's army has surpassed that of Italy, which is enough to make Germany and Austria fearful. \u00261t;/p\u003e

After thinking about it, Ferdinand didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "What do you think?"\u00261t;/p\u003e

Ferdinand's long-term keen decision-making, now when the Bulgarian government has major issues, everyone waits for him to make decisions. This is a good thing and a bad thing! \u00261t;/p\u003e

The advantage is that Ferdinand can control the direction of Bulgaria at any time. But with the passage of time, Ferdinand's foresight advantage is slowly disappearing, and at some point in the future, he will even make wrong decisions based on the influence of future generations. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Therefore, Ferdinand was very careful, and habitually asked the cabinet's opinion first. After all, they were all elites of the era, and without the advantage of prophets, Ferdinand's ability was not necessarily stronger than them. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Constantine said cautiously: "Now we have very little choice left. We have relied on the Russians in diplomacy for a long time, and we have engraved the imprint of the Russians. \u00261t;/p\u003e

If you continue to follow in the footsteps of the Russians now, you will likely be hostile and even suppressed by the British and the Triple Alliance in the future. Of course, your relationship with France and Russia will be further strengthened! \u00261t;/p\u003e

On the contrary, if we have our own proposition this time, it will affect Bulgaria-Russia relations and cast a shadow over Bulgaria's current economic construction! \u00261t;/p\u003e

but,

Our diplomatic relations with Britain, Germany, and Austria-Hungary will also develop further, which can be regarded as having advantages and disadvantages. \u00261t;/p\u003e

The last option is to make peace with each other and not stand in line. Presumably with Bulgaria's current strength, no one will force us too much. "\u00261t;/p\u003e

As soon as Constantine finished speaking, Ferdinand's heart sank. This seemed to be the choice of the Bulgarian government in history, but the situation in the Balkans is very different now. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Historically, Bulgaria reaped certain benefits at the beginning, but the international situation changed suddenly in the later period. The Bulgarian government just played around and became an abandoned child. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Of course, the failure of Bulgaria's foreign policy in the history of parallel time and space may not necessarily still fail in this plane. At least now Bulgaria is much stronger than in history, while its neighbors are much weaker. One increase and one decrease are enough to change many things! \u00261t;/p\u003e

When Ferdinand began to hesitate, Chekov said: "I think I should express my opinion separately now. The Russian imprint on the Kingdom of Bulgaria is too strong now, and it will not be able to get rid of it for a while!"\u00261t;/p \u003e

Even though we have our own position now, we still have to be consistent with the Russians in essence, and it is impossible for us to fall to the British anyway! "\u00261t;/p\u003e

Chekov's words refreshed Ferdinand's eyes. It is true that at this time, Bulgaria must not jump back, and being a second-five boy will definitely be unlucky! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Then you can only keep the same position as the Russians. As for other details, the St. Peter's government probably won't care. \u00261t;/p\u003e

If Bulgaria clarifies its position first, it will be interpreted into two meanings internationally. Either it is the vanguard of the Russians, or the relationship between Russia and Russia is not as perfect as outsiders imagined. \u00261t;/p\u003e

International diplomacy is not something that can be achieved overnight, and a little meaning is enough. Now even if Ferdinand dared to jump back to the Allies, he wouldn't dare accept it! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Ferdinand thought for a while and said: "Well, the current international situation is complicated and we cannot tolerate the slightest mistake. None of the five major European powers is something we can provoke!\u00261t;/p\u003e

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs first figured out the Russian position. Then carry out some artistic processing, which is our position this time, but when we announce the time, we should try our best to keep pace with the Russians, and let the outside world guess! "\u00261t;/p\u003e

In the end, Ferdinand took the most conservative approach and played a side ball. At this time, Bulgaria is still inseparable from the support of the Russians. Even if it wants to make small moves, it must first settle the country. \u00261t;/p\u003e

...\u00261t;/p\u003e

After solving the diplomatic problem, Ferdinand once again turned his attention to immigration, and asked with concern: "How is the immigration work going?"\u00261t;/p\u003e

Immigrant work is the most important job of the Bulgarian government, and it is also the most troublesome job. \u00261t;/p\u003e

As long as you think about the eating, drinking, sleeping, and job placement involving millions of people, the cabinet will have nothing to worry about! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Constantine said with a headache: "So far, the domestic military immigrants have been properly resettled, and they have been resettled in batches to various gathering points according to the original plan. \u00261t;/p\u003e

In addition, the number of Bulgarian people who migrated back from the Ottoman Empire has exceeded 800,000, and the number is still increasing at an average of 5,000 people every day. It is estimated that by 1900, the immigration work will be completed. \u00261t;/p\u003e

However, the issue of employment placement is a bit troublesome. Now only 70% of the young and strong labor force has been resettled. The government is about to launch a nationwide transportation construction plan, which is expected to absorb another 500,000 people. Coupled with the development of its industry and commerce, it can barely solve the employment problem of most people! \u00261t;/p\u003e

In addition, the half a million Turks we migrated to the Ottoman Empire are now a hot potato, and the Ottoman government has no intention of taking over. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Except for the 200,000 people who were absorbed by the Ottoman nobles as coolies, in order not to cause unnecessary changes, we helped support the others, which made us have to slow down the migration of the Turks in the territory. "\u00261t;/p\u003e

The relocation of people in the country is easy, as long as the land and houses are divided. Everyone has a family background, and those who don't have it can get a loan. The main business is farming, and the government doesn't need to worry about it. \u00261t;/p\u003e

But those who come from the Ottoman Empire are in trouble. For the sake of long-term stability, immigrants returning from the same place must not be resettled in the same place. Otherwise, there are only 800,000 immigrants now, and the government can send them all to Albania to farm. \u00261t;/p\u003e

As for the Turks, under the rule of Bulgaria, they will never be less than two million! You said no? Don't the officials of the immigration agency know how to get rid of ethnic groups? \u00261t;/p\u003e

Anyone who has been Iraqi~~ must be a Turk. This is a rule made by Ferdinand, otherwise what will happen if there are religious conflicts in the future? \u00261t;/p\u003e

Of course, Ferdinand still had integrity. He didn't throw the Turks all over the Asia Minor peninsula, but scattered them over the vast territory of the Ottoman Empire. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Well, the main reason is to be afraid of trouble. If there is a big chaos and affects the exchange of immigrants, it will be too late for Ferdinand to cry. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Ferdinand thought for a while and said: "We can ignore the resettlement of the Turks. At worst, they will be raised for two or three years for nothing, and then we will leave it to the Ottoman government to have a headache!"1t;/p\u003e

Anyway, we need to dispose of the old grain reserves, and buy cheap grain from Romania if it is not enough. At this moment, Carol I is still worried about how to sell the grain? \u00261t;/p\u003e

Now the focus is on the country, and we must settle down as soon as possible. If it doesn't work, they will be resettled in the countryside and encouraged to cultivate intensively. At worst, we will charge less rent, and the family can support themselves by planting three to five acres of land! "\u00261t;/p\u003e

Well, Ferdinand is coming up with bad ideas again. This is to engage in refined agriculture according to the standards of the East, and considering the productivity of the 19th century, if it is potatoes, it is indeed enough to eat. \u00261t;/p\u003e

It is estimated that the area of ​​cultivated land in Bulgaria can be greatly increased by then. After all, the requirements are low, and there will be more land that can be reclaimed? \u00261t;/p\u003e

After all, the Balkans have always been sparsely populated, and the use of land is also very limited. It is also feasible to reclaim some mountainous land! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Of course, this is a solution to the symptoms rather than the root cause. According to Ferdinand’s actions, many poor people in mountain villages will be born in Bulgaria, but this is a problem for the future. \u00261t;/p\u003e

There are also examples to find the solution. In rural areas, as long as the world is peaceful, the population will skyrocket. \u00261t;/p\u003e

At that time, in order to make a living, it is the best choice to guide people to work in cities. As long as Bulgaria's industry develops, this will not be a problem. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Although it is a bad idea, it has been fully approved by the Bulgarian cabinet. Now as long as there is a way to solve the short-term problem, it is a good way. \u00261t;/p\u003e

After all, industrial exhibitions don’t start in a day. As for more than ten years later, if Bulgaria can't solve this problem, then Ferdinand will be a traveler. \u00261t;/p\u003e

And the issue of "poverty", if you tell the people, they will definitely sneer, as long as they have enough to eat, what is there to be afraid of "poverty", when did you see them rich? \u00261t;/p\u003e

...\u00261t;/p\u003e

Inspired by Ferdinand, the Bulgarian government immediately took action and launched a vigorous land reclamation movement in the country. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Of course, this movement came and went even faster, and after only two or three years, it was stopped by Ferdinand. \u00261t;/p\u003e

There is no shortage of food in Bulgaria now, mainly for the resettlement of immigrants, why so many mountainous lands are reclaimed? \u00261t;/p\u003e

Ferdinand also pays attention to environmental protection, but there are no conditions now, and within the scope of his ability, he still tries to minimize the damage to the natural environment! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Although the Balkans are dominated by mountains and hills, and the plains are small, it depends on who you compare with! \u00261t;/p\u003e

In the region of Eastern Europe, which is covered with plains, it is indeed a mountainous country. If you take it outside to compare, the plain in the Constantinople area controlled by Bulgaria alone is the area of ​​three Chengdu plains. \u00261t;/p\u003e

If several other small plains are added, such as the coastal plain of Albania and the coastal areas of the Aegean Sea, they are all areas with good natural conditions and rich water resources, suitable for the development of agriculture. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Bulgaria will remain a grain exporter for a long time to come! \u00261t;/p\u003e
