Bulgarian Empire

It didn't take long for Nicholas II to decide to compromise. Apart from saving some face, leaving the Crimean Peninsula was actually of little value.

It is no longer possible to develop towards the Mediterranean. Leaving the Crimean Peninsula will only make Bulgaria more afraid of the Russian Empire, and even prevent the unification of the Russian Empire because of fear that Russia will conflict with them after it becomes stronger.

Although this possibility is very small, he still does not intend to take risks. The top priority is to unify the Russian Empire. No matter how great the benefits are for this, Nicholas II will not hesitate!

After receiving the telegram from St. Petersburg, Sassonov breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time sighed, which meant that the Russian Empire had begun to fall.

As a diplomat, he knows better than anyone that "a weak country has no diplomacy". So easy!

If it weren't for the good diplomatic relations between Bulgaria and Russia, maybe Chekov would not talk to him in person now, but would send a deputy to negotiate with him.

This is also a common principle in the field of diplomacy, the principle of reciprocity between countries, negotiations with countries of the same level, and the levels of both parties should be as consistent as possible.

When negotiating with a country that is one level weaker in strength, the strong country will send diplomats that are one level lower. However, in terms of negotiating representatives, the strong country still has an absolute advantage.

Negotiations started again, and now the dispute is about the price. Sassonov said: "Mr. Megev, Bessarabia province is 44,000 square kilometers, and the Crimean Peninsula is 25,000 square kilometers. The special geographical location, our quotation of 5 billion levas is not high!"

Medev retorted: "Mr. Sassonov, the added value you calculated is too high. The economic value of Bessarabia and the Crimean Peninsula is less than one billion levs. Your country's annual financial expenditure in the two places The income is less than fifteen million levs.

Of course, I did not calculate the customs duties. The Crimean Peninsula is one of the most important import and export ports of your country, and it is impossible for us to collect your country's customs duties.

The economic income of the two places is mainly from agriculture, but the good land is owned. If your country can turn these lands into unowned land, the economic value can be doubled! "

Sassonov shook his head and said: "Mr. Megev, this is impossible. We cannot change the ownership of land. If your country buys it back, you can directly confiscate the original owner's land and mines. The economic value is not the same. is it out yet?

In addition to economic value, we also need to consider strategic value, right? Bessarabia can make your country's defense line on land unbreakable, and the Crimean Peninsula allows your country to directly turn the Black Sea into an inland sea. Isn't this strategic value worth three billion levs? "

Megev smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Sassonov, you can really joke, how could we confiscate other people's private property without reason? So the economic value you mentioned does not exist!

As for the strategic value, I have already said it, we can rest assured in the hands of your country! Instead of paying a high price to buy them back, it is better to keep them in your hands. We cannot afford to buy this strategic value of 3 billion levs, which is equivalent to 878.4 tons of gold! "

Sassonov sighed, the current situation is something that Bulgaria can afford, but the Russian Empire cannot.

For Bulgaria, there is no essential difference between the two places starting one day earlier and one day later.

But for Nicholas II, it is not a concept to get the money one day earlier and complete the unification of the country one day earlier!

"Okay, Mr. Megev, let's make a concession, how about 4 billion levas, the price is not high!" Sassonov said in embarrassment

Megev smiled slightly and said: "We value the economic value at one billion levs, which is already a lot of overestimation. If we want to conduct a detailed evaluation, it may not be enough!

The strategic value has not been reflected yet, and I have no way to use this reason to convince those congressmen.

You may not know that when our Congress was discussing financial policy just now, the government proposed to open up the stock market, but instead of succeeding, Congress introduced a more stringent financial policy. Congress decided to ban the stock market forever, and even enacted a law!

Therefore, for this strategic value, we can pay up to 500 million levas, otherwise we will have no way to pass the congressional hurdle! "

Megev did not hesitate to launch the Congress as a shield, and confused the concepts, giving Sassonov a wrong perception that Congress = stubborn old school.

If he carefully studies the policies recently passed by Bulgaria, he will find that this is pure nonsense. For the sake of a Persian Gulf, Bulgaria has invested nearly 20 billion levs. Is the Congress not paying enough attention to strategy?

It's a pity that Sassonov didn't have time to study it. These policies have just been introduced and haven't had time to announce them. They may have appeared in Russian materials, but he hasn't had time to read them yet.

Sassonov thought for a while and said: "Impossible, this price is too low, the minimum is three billion levs, if it is lower than this price, it is impossible for the Russian Empire to accept it!"

Mezev thought for a while and said: "That's a pity, the Bulgarian government can't offer such a sky-high price, and I don't think anyone in the world will pay such a sky-high price to buy it!

In the last quotation, we can only offer a maximum of 1.8 billion leva, and if the price exceeds this price, there is no need to negotiate! "

Apparently, Megev had nothing to worry about. The geographical location determines that Bulgaria is the only buyer in the world. If Bulgaria does not pay this price, it is naturally impossible for someone to bid again!

The conditions are very different, the first round of negotiations broke up unhappy, and we can only wait for the start of the second round of negotiations.

On the other hand, Bulgaria's ten-year plan also announced the results, which made the world's politicians breathe a sigh of relief. There is no military expansion plan, and at most it will increase the number of Air Force Academy, Naval Academy, and Army Academy.

But these are minor issues. As long as it is not directly expanding the army and preparing for war, adding some military academies is not worth mentioning at all.

In contrast, Bulgaria's financial policy was directly criticized by the outside world as "the stronghold of conservatives all over the world".

There are a lot of restrictions on opening a bank, the stock market is directly banned by Congress, and countless international capitals are furious.

There is a problem with this operation, is there a problem with the director's script? Didn't you say open finance? This is also called openness? What the hell is open, why didn't I find out?

No matter what they think and criticize, this was approved by the Bulgarian Congress and signed by Ferdinand, and the new financial law has come into effect.

On the contrary, Bulgaria's domestic situation is peaceful, and the people applaud one after another. The stricter the bank management, the more secure their money will be.

stock market? In the impression of most of them, it is a "stock market crash"!

Since the closing of the stock market, Bulgaria's economy has been developing very well for more than 20 years. No matter how the international economy changes, Bulgaria has never had an economic crisis.

That being the case, why do you need the stock market? To make money by buying stocks, it is a pity that the Bulgarian people said that if they can make money, who would be so stupid to sell their shares?

As for the prohibition of the stock market, the biggest supporter was actually the Bulgarian bourgeoisie. On the one hand, it was the relationship between the family business, and on the other hand, it was the two major ideological disputes in society at that time!

Real economy vs virtual economy, this problem continued until Li Mu traveled through time, but the real economy has been suppressed to the brink of death in later generations, and the virtual economy that has occupied the mainstream has long since become a more profitable virtual economy.

But the current Bulgaria is different. The real economy occupies a dominant position. Experts, scholars and capitalists who support this school of thought have the most important voice in society.

Their growth has nothing to do with Ferdinand's secret support, including his vest industry, which is a hard-core supporter of this theory.

The reason why Ferdinand did this was for no other reason than Bulgaria's development needs, and money in society was limited.

In a society dominated by the real economy, most of this money flows into the industry; on the contrary, in a society dominated by the virtual economy, this money enters the virtual economy.

Why did the French become a usurer empire? Do you really think that if you are a French capitalist, you are born to engage in finance?

It has not evolved gradually under the trend of interests. No matter what, the rate of return on investment in the industry cannot be skyrocketed by several times or dozens of times within a year, but finance can!

The high rate of return attracted a large amount of capital inflows. In the end, the French economy was kidnapped by finance, and it began to decline in the middle and late 19th century.

From the perspective of a bystander, Ferdinand believed that if the French economy had not undergone a transformation in the 19th century, but had been developing real industries, there would be no Germans at all!

A large number of industries can increase a large number of jobs, so that France can accommodate more people. Without this deviation, France's economic aggregate may not be much higher than it is now, but its industrial strength is at least three to five times that of the current one. The population may be double or even more than it is now!

Facing such a France, Germany has no chance to rise, and it is impossible for Prussia to challenge their hegemony in the European continent.

Now Bulgaria is also in the last century, and the French are in the same period. There will be no foreign enemies in the short term, and the social economy needs a clear development direction.

There is no doubt that Ferdinand chose industry, and the Bulgarian people also chose industry, so it is essential to suppress other virtual economies.

Ferdinand didn't want to try things that tested the integrity of capitalists. In fact, he didn't think capitalists would have integrity. It's best not to give them a chance to go bad!

Now Bulgaria's industrial strength has surpassed the French by a quarter, but in terms of economic aggregate, the French have surpassed Bulgaria by a quarter. You know how wet this virtual economy is!

A company worth 1 million levs can become a company worth 10 million levs in the stock market, or it can become a company worth 100 million levs.

The valuation has become higher, and the money in the society has also increased. In fact, the value of the enterprise itself has not changed, and it is still only worth one million levs.

If the capitalists have the integrity, they will continue to expand the company with one or two million funds from financing, but this possibility is almost zero.

Because, seeing nothing as a middleman, they fired a company worth a million to a billion, and they only got a few million in funds, while the financial speculators got a profit of tens of millions, so they can feel at ease Are you doing business?

When hot money flows into finance, it will push up the stock market again, and finally the economic crisis breaks out and crashes, and the cycle repeats itself.

This is the theory provided to Ferdinand by economists who support the real economy, let’s believe it!

Ferdinand may not be clear about other things, but he understands one thing very well. One million levs is a number in finance, but investing in industry can increase hundreds of jobs.

With more jobs in the society, the country will be stable, everyone will have a job and income, and everyone's life will become easier, and no one will rebel against the king!

This problem is very real!

So conservatives are conservatives. Anyway, this is the national policy that is most in line with Bulgaria's actual situation. Once the ten-year plan is completed, Bulgaria is likely to become the world's number one industrial power.

Although it is not the number one economic power, it doesn't matter. When the industry develops to a certain level, a new round of industrial revolution will break out again.

At present, the new industrial revolution is most likely to break out in Bulgaria. The oil age is coming, and Bulgaria has already taken the lead. Why rush to compete with the British?

Just using the hat of the world's largest economic power to paralyze the attention of the British, especially after they added the three kingdoms of North America, the economic aggregate of the British Commonwealth far exceeds the sum of the two countries of France and France. Get on with it!

Farming, farming, or farming, in the next two decades, there will be only one core task in Bulgaria——farming.

Ferdinand had no intention of destroying the current world order, and the Germans were already helping to destroy the industry of the British Empire.

Every year, free industrial products worth up to 200 to 300 million pounds pour into the British Empire, and the lives of the British people and capitalists will surely be easy in the next ten years.

Similarly, physical factories worth hundreds of millions of pounds in the British Empire will be forced to close down. No matter how hard they try, it is impossible to reduce the production cost to the price of German products.

The industrial products for which the Germans pay war reparations are seriously undervalued. The valuation of most products is less than half of similar products on the market.

The soaring prices of Britain and France due to the war finally subsided. Without these cheap goods, Ferdinand wondered if they could survive?
