Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Ferdinand asked back: "The account can't be calculated like this, in addition to economic value, we must also consider other factors!

Did you notice that in the trade between Bulgaria and Russia, Bulgaria now belongs to the super team?

If there is no previous immigration, which consumes most of the funds and covers up this problem, then the long-term trade surplus with Russia, even if we are allies with the Russian Empire, will still cause problems for a long time. Have you considered it? ? "

The faces of everyone changed greatly. This is indeed a big problem. If it cannot be handled properly, the future relations between Bulgaria and Russia will definitely be greatly affected!

Bulgaria now imports industrial raw materials from the Russian Empire and sells industrial products to the Russian Empire.

Because of the signing of a trade agreement, both parties enjoy low tariffs, and Bulgarian industrial products can compete with foreign powers by virtue of their price advantages.

But how can it be so easy to take advantage of the hairy bears? No matter how good the relationship is after a long time, conflicts will arise. Russia can't let Bulgaria take advantage of it all the time, right?

No one has brought it up now. The big reason is that because of immigration, the Bulgarian government paid a lot of fees to the Russian Empire to offset the trade deficit.

Russian aristocratic gentlemen, profit from it! In addition, the quality of immigrants needed by Bulgaria is low. In the Russian Empire, it is similar to waste. Staying in the country will add chaos. If you leave, it will help alleviate domestic conflicts.

In addition, the Russian Empire also hopes to influence Bulgaria's domestic and foreign affairs through immigration, and slowly assimilate Bulgaria. All these factors add up, and it is the Russian government who gave the green light and has never raised objections!

Although I don't want to admit it, the problem is in front of us, and everyone can't ignore it. Now the Russian Empire is too important to the development of Bulgaria! !

Now everyone thought they understood why Ferdinand insisted on Bulgarianization. Wasn't it just to prevent Bulgaria from being annexed by the Russian Empire?

Heavy pressure is blowing, and a sense of historical responsibility arises spontaneously! what can we do about it? Immigration is short-term. If there is no other way, then the trade conflict between Russia and Bulgaria will intensify sooner or later!

Ferdinand suddenly realized that he seemed to have taken the problem too seriously, and it scared people! Just as he was about to say something, Chekov suddenly said:

"Your Excellency, in the short term, we can rely on immigration to balance the trade surplus, but after all, it is not a long-term solution! Is it feasible for us to give up certain industries as a balance point for the trade surplus?"

Ferdinand nodded. If he didn't know the future direction, he would probably use this method to balance the trade surplus. For example, stop mining in the country and switch to importing from the Russian Empire, etc.!

"Don't worry too much, with the current speed of development in Bulgaria, there is still a huge demand for manpower, at least five years, we must introduce immigrants on a large scale!

Five years is enough time for us to find new ways to solve the problem of trade balance! "

Everyone suddenly understood why the Grand Duke launched a war on the Serbs at this time; why did he insist on expelling the Serbs!

Once a trade conflict occurs between Bulgaria and Russia, it will inevitably cause domestic turmoil, and the economic crisis will break out, interrupting Bulgaria's development.

However, the Bulgarian-Serbian war extended this crisis for five years, and the new land development has promoted the next development of the Bulgarian economy!

Under a series of misunderstandings, Ferdinand's image in the hearts of everyone was infinitely raised a lot!

"Your Excellency, what is our next strategy??" Constantine asked for advice

If it weren't for the fear of being treated as a monster, Ferdinand would have prepared and told everyone that he planned to make a fortune in the Greek-Turkish war!

Now that the Prime Minister has asked, of course it can be said. But anyway, you have to test your skills.

It must be persuasive without revealing the ability of foresight!

Ferdinand pondered for a moment, organized the language, stood up and said: "Look at the map on the wall, the countries that border us now have three Serbia, Romania, and Ottoman Empires!

Serbia doesn't need to think about it. It's just finished, and I've got everything I can get. Unless Austria-Hungary decides to annex Serbia, they will leave those troublesome places to us, otherwise, don't think about it!

Then look at Romania, sandwiched between the Austria-Hungary Empire and the Russian Empire. Even though their land is fertile, but it has not yet developed, you know that it is not a good choice to be neighbors with foreign powers!

And the risk of expanding to Romania is too great. The two great empires of Austria-Hungary and Russia are eyeing him. The variables for us to join in are too large. Once Romania is divided, we will have to bear the pressure ourselves. Bulgaria is not ready yet. Prepare!

Everyone knows what the Ottoman Turkish Empire behind it is. Even if the sultans make some changes, they still cannot change their declining nature!

The ethnic contradictions in the country have tormented them to a half death. They are now weaker every day, and on the surface they are still a big empire, but in fact they have rotted away from the roots!

Looking at the map of the Balkans, the entire Balkan Peninsula, except Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece, and Montenegro, is the territory of the Ottoman Empire!

Macedonia, Thrace, Istanbul, Thessaloniki, Kosovo and other places that are close to us, if we can annex these areas, Bulgaria's territorial area can be directly tripled!

Then the next problem is no longer a problem! The shortcomings of raw materials that restrict our industrial development can be supplemented! "

Ferdinand didn't keep it, and poured it out in one go. As for whether it will leak out, Ferdinand said that if the members of the cabinet are unreliable, then Bulgaria will not have to do anything, just farm and wait to die!

After listening to Ferdinand's strategic concept, everyone was dumbfounded. No wonder they're superficial, it's unbelievable!

The weakness of the Ottoman Turkish Empire was revealed to the world only after the Armenians launched a rebellion in Constantinople!

Then the Greeks will be the first to eat crabs after the crisis in Crete and declare war on the Turks with confidence.

It's a pity that the Greeks saw the weakness of the Turks, but they didn't realize their weaker nature!

Then a bad war broke out, and the Greeks were undoubtedly defeated, but the weak Ottoman Empire did not have the energy to seek the unlucky of the Greeks, and domestic contradictions forced it to shrink back!
