Bulgarian Empire

The annual budget meeting began, and Ferdinand wisely chose to leave. According to the past practice, if there is no quarrel for three to five days, there will be no results!

Anyway, Ferdinand already had a bottom line in his mind. He had a fixed amount for the general expenses of each department, but this was just a bottom line. As for which department could get how much in the end, it would depend on its own ability.

For example: This year Ferdinand's military spending range for the military is: no less than 30% and no more than 42%.

Then, as the actual executor, Constantine must limit the military's expenses within this range, but this bottom line is strictly confidential to them. How much military expenses the military can get at the budget meeting depends on It depends on their ability.

This is neither by force nor by influence, but to be reasonable, to come up with solid evidence, to convince the cabinet and the heads of various departments, and to make everyone feel convinced!

Bulgaria's annual budget is decided at the end of the previous year, usually in the first ten days of December, and decisions must be made before the end of the month, so that various departments can make detailed governance plans for the coming year.

The war period is naturally an exception. Because of the world war, Bulgaria's annual budget has actually been terminated for two years, and now it will start again.

As the prime minister, Constantine presided over the meeting according to the usual practice. He did not hesitate, and said directly: "In 1918, the annual budget meeting is now beginning. It is still the old rule that the heads of the departments speak in order of their seats and list the departments. The plan for the coming year will be approved and the expenses will be approved, and then everyone’s inquiries will be accepted, and if everyone’s approval is obtained, it will be approved!”

Unspoken rules exist in any environment, and Bulgaria's annual budget meeting is no exception. Basically, the more powerful the department is, the higher the position is arranged, and the more advanced it is, usually they get the most funding.

There is no doubt that Bulgaria is located in the Balkans. It has fought all the way to the present. The military is naturally the most powerful department, and there is not one of them!

Since the Bulgarian military is now essentially divided into six naval and air armies, their representatives are also three, and they already have a decisive advantage in terms of numbers.

Of course, this number is useless. In fact, there can only be one person. The other two are eligible to attend only out of respect for the services they represent, which shows that the three armed forces of Bulgaria are equal in status. of!

Everyone knows the actual situation. At present, the army is still dominant in Bulgaria, and the army minister Popov is naturally the spokesperson of the army.

Popov said solemnly: "Then I will start. In 1918, our military planned to eliminate all unstable factors in the colonies, starting from the Asia Minor Peninsula, going to Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Palestine, and then to the Arabian Peninsula, In the African region, a crackdown must be carried out!

We plan to send 350,000 troops to clean up our colony, eliminate all hostile elements, and clear the way for the government to start work in the colony!

At the same time, we also plan to focus on building the Persian Gulf region, establish a complete naval port, extend our tentacles into the Indian Ocean region, and increase Bulgaria's influence in the world.

If necessary, we can also conduct a global cruise to show our presence and implement Bulgaria's globalization strategy.

We all know that future wars will no longer be limited to one place. This will be an integrated war coordinated by the six seas and the air.

In order to increase the rapid response capability of the Bulgarian army, we plan to deploy the air force to all our colonies and establish two airborne divisions. As long as there is a need, we can send troops to any corner of the country within two days!

...

Therefore, the annual military budget of the Bulgarian military in 1918 was 2.6 billion levs, which is 50% of fiscal revenue! "

Well, now I have started to fool Dasai,

Popov stated all the plans of the Lu, Naval and Air Forces in one breath. No matter what happens when they go back, they are still one when they are fighting for the military budget.

Even in order to increase his persuasiveness, he even threw out the land-sea and air-integrated war that Ferdinand often emphasized. Although it has not been confirmed, this is what His Majesty the Great King said, so it must be right!

Of course, if the 2.6 billion Lev can complete his plan, there is no doubt that the cabinet will support it, and the heads of various departments will not hold back at this time.

It's a pity that the plan is still just a plan, and the 2.6 billion leva can only be used as start-up capital at most. If we really want to improve this plan, maybe adding a zero at the end can barely realize it.

Therefore, although everyone is interested in the military's plan, no one will support it. After all, one year does not matter. Everyone can bear it and it will pass. It is not that the Bulgarian government has not experienced hardships.

But for the long-term investment, which one should be forgotten! Let's wait until we have developed the economy first and the country has money!

After the military’s speech, it was the Ministry of Industry’s turn. Minister of Industry Lauren Holman said excitedly: “Our Ministry of Industry plans to increase our heavy industry capacity by 50% in the coming year, and increase our light industry capacity by 50%. Increase by ten percent.

Everyone knows that we have harvested a lot of good things from Germany this time. These machinery and equipment are in urgent need of installation. We must create good investment conditions for the company. Now there are machinery and equipment piled up outside Sofia, but Because the follow-up conditions cannot keep up, the company cannot start production.

If the delay continues, I am afraid that these valuable machinery and equipment will be abolished. In order to avoid waste, the Ministry of Industry decided to build two light industry bases and one heavy industry base in the Balkan Peninsula, and build three new heavy industry bases in the Asia Minor Peninsula. Time allows these factories to come online.

Therefore, the financial budget of the Ministry of Industry in 1918 was 1 billion levs, and all of this cost will be invested in these infrastructures to solve the core problems of enterprises! "

That's right, Bulgaria's current Minister of Industry is a German engineer with a background in railway repair. He was able to become the Minister of Industry because he took too much control when he was the chief engineer of the Bulgarian Railway, and then he was caught by Ferdinand.

As for his parentage, it is not a problem at all. King Ferdinand was born in a German nobleman. Anyone who dared to talk about this issue in Bulgaria was shut up!

Building a new industrial base is another temptation that everyone cannot refuse. Although the initial investment is large, the later return is also great!

In addition, there are cheap machines waiting to be assembled, so it cannot be dragged at all! Every day of delay is a waste of money! In this respect, the Bulgarian government is actually more anxious than Ferdinand, the behind-the-scenes boss of the enterprise!

The development of heavy industry is different from light industry. If there are not enough resources, it is impossible to build a factory. Now Bulgaria has passed the era of losing money and laying the foundation, and economic benefits must also be considered.

For example, the Palestine area has 49.2 billion cubic meters of natural gas, 184 million barrels of oil, 18.5 billion tons of coal, 430 million tons of iron, 74 million tons of bauxite, and a large amount of chromium ore and marble.

It has the basic conditions for the development of heavy industry, and there is also a weakness here, that is, only in the coastal plain area can there be enough water, so the location of the factory is very important.

This is why the Ministry of Industry wants to release Bulgaria's heavy industries one by one. It is really limited by the origin of raw materials.

Some places are suitable for steelmaking, and some places are suitable for ironmaking. It is simply impossible to bring these enterprises together.

For example, to support a large steel company in Palestine, iron ore must be brought in from outside in the future, and the local iron ore resources are only enough for initial consumption.

Of course, there is no need to think about it in a short period of time. With the production capacity at the beginning of the 20th century, an annual output of one million tons of steel is a large-scale enterprise, which is enough for several years.

Due to the lack of concentration of resources, Bulgaria's heavy industry may have a long way to go in the future if it wants to concentrate. In terms of mineral resources, it will be a matter of time before Bulgaria opens Africa!

After the Ministry of Industry is finished, it is the turn of the Ministry of Education and Science. Education and scientific research are tied together when the budget is allocated.

In fact, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Science and Technology in Bulgaria are already one department, even the office buildings are together, but there are two signs, and the merger is only a matter of time.

Anyway, their funds are indispensable, Chekov said calmly: "The Ministry of Education decided to expand another university in 1918, still focusing on science and engineering. Thousands of college students, this will greatly alleviate the shortage of our senior talents!

At the same time, we will expand 15 higher vocational colleges, including three medical colleges. By then, our higher vocational colleges will break through the 50 mark, and we can enroll 100,000 students every year..."

Well, in order to save money, Ferdinand had to engage in elite education in Bulgaria. As a result, there are very few college students in Bulgaria.

In fact, even the establishment of a university in Bulgaria must be discussed and approved by the Congress before it can be implemented. As for the establishment of higher vocational colleges, this can only be established with the approval of the Ministry of Education itself.

The treatment between the two is also very different. The most obvious thing is to establish a university. The funds invested are all in units of 100 million, and the annual financial allocation is also in units of 100 million!

However, the establishment of a higher vocational college only needs tens of millions, and the annual operating expenses only need a few million levs. There is no comparison between the two sides!

To cultivate scientific research talents, how can it be possible not to spend money? So now the total number of college students in Bulgaria is only 15,000, and it will cost up to 500 million levs, and the per capita education cost has exceeded 33,300 levs.

Of course, this fee also includes the scientific research fees of the professors, which accounts for more than half, otherwise the Bulgarian government really can't afford it.

Now these investments have begun to regenerate. With the technology developed by universities, they can barely recover 100 million levs in domestic patent royalties every year. This has already made Ferdinand overjoyed, and finally saw the benefits!

In contrast, elementary school students under the compulsory education system are much cheaper. The education expenditure of three to four million elementary school students is actually not as big as the expenses of these universities!

It can only be said that high-level education in this era is really expensive, especially in science and engineering. How can it be possible to do experiments with less money? If you want to keep these experts and professors, you can't do without research funding!

It's not that no one in the education sector has proposed expanding university enrollment, but after seeing this funding, everyone shut up obediently. This is really not something that ordinary countries can play!

Even Americans with deep pockets can't afford it in this era. Unless they use pheasant universities to make up the numbers, this huge sum of money is enough to bankrupt any country ten times.

Of course, the higher vocational colleges in Bulgaria can be regarded as universities in the world. The education they receive is no different from ordinary universities in the outside world. Take so many hours of class every day.

It is no secret that Bulgaria will add a university. The Ministry of Education made preparations long before the outbreak of the World War. Unfortunately, it broke out before the war could be carried out. Now that the world war is over, the Ministry of Education will naturally implement it!

...

After the various departments revealed their respective annual budgets, Constantine's face darkened. There is no doubt that the budget must have been greatly exceeded.

After the clerk finished counting, Constantine said coldly: "Everyone's financial budgets have been listed, and the final calculated result is 8.648 billion levs. After our fiscal revenue is 3.448 billion levs, the fiscal deficit is as high as Sixty-six point three percent!

Therefore, I would like to trouble everyone to re-plan. If you think your budget results are no problem, then enter the second round now-accept everyone's questions! "

This can’t help Constantine not being angry. The budgets of some departments are too unrealistic. For example, the Ministry of Health plans to launch a one-village-one-medical plan. No matter how much the cost is, first consider whether Bulgaria can get so many doctors. Bar!

Of course, in theory, the number of doctors in Bulgaria is enough, but in this way, all of them will be sent to the countryside, and it will be a big trouble for people in the city to seek medical treatment!

In fact, there is no need to think about it at all. The priority must be to satisfy the city. Being able to match qualified doctors in every town is actually the limit of this era.

No way, it takes at least ten years to train a qualified doctor. Now Bulgaria also encourages doctors to take apprentices. As long as these apprentices pass the examination, they can also obtain a medical license.
