Mediterranean Hegemony Road

"Your Excellency, Volvo supermarkets have now spread all over the major cities in Bulgaria. However, due to the domestic economic downturn, the turnover is not very high, and there are even a few small cities, but they can only break down. The estimated profit is not comparable. A Vienna!" Franz said in a depressing tone

Ferdinand smiled and said, "Hehe, Franz, don't be impatient, we have to be patient! When Bulgaria's economy develops, the money won't come rolling in!"

"Okay, Your Excellency the Grand Duke! Don't worry, I know what to do!" Franz immediately put away his negative emotions and made a package to Ferdinand.

"Yeah!" Ferdinand nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his attention to Habit.

Habit said worriedly: "Your Excellency the Grand Duke, the machinery factory has just been put into operation. Now the problem is that we can't find a market for our machinery. Except for our own purchases, basically there are not many orders!"

"Bulgarians are panicking now. Capitalists have no desire to invest and build factories, and the future prospects are not optimistic. There are still many people who have placed orders, but have not come to pick up the goods! However, the sales of spare parts are good, and they are very welcome!"

"Well! Since that's the case, let's focus on the spare parts market! Take advantage of the fact that the international capital has not noticed it, first seize the market in the Balkans, and then expand to Eastern Europe!" Ferdinand thought for a while and said

Greed is indeed human nature!

Originally Ferdinand was a plan - to promote the industrial development of Bulgaria; now it has become a state monopoly. No matter how he painted it, it couldn't change the fact that he made a profit from it.

From a resource point of view, a monopoly is indeed the best option for Bulgaria. Especially the heavy industry, the mineral-poor Bulgaria, has no choice at all!

"Okay, Your Excellency! Don't worry, we have no competitors in the Balkans at the moment!" Habit said confidently

Ferdinand nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "Well! Let's talk about the situation in Bulgaria now!"

Fu Hu said confidently: "Yes, Your Excellency the Grand Duke!"

"At present, Bulgaria is still calm on the surface. The Liberals have the upper hand and control the government. Under the pressure of the government, other political forces such as the Conservative Party and the Democratic Party have been suppressed."

"But this situation will soon be broken! The Liberal Party has pushed the opposition to the limit, and they have to fight to the death in order to survive!"

"Mr. Petko-Karavilov, how is the Russian contact?" Pani asked anxiously

"Don't worry, gentlemen. St. Petersburg hates Stam's dictatorship. They have promised to support us. And they have provided us with an interest-free loan of one million levs!" Petko-Karavilov confidently say

Of course, irrelevant issues are also omitted. For example, after the successful coup d'état, the new government will fully turn to Russia in terms of diplomacy; another example is...

In Petko's opinion, it's all trivial and irrelevant, and there's no need to say it. Anyway, he's a pro-Russian faction, and he doesn't think it's any bad.

Everyone here is not a fool, and of course they know that there is no free lunch in the world. Russians are not philanthropists, they have to ask for something.

Now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, and no one can escape. Let’s talk about overthrowing the government first, and don’t care what the price will be.

"Great, with the support of the Russians, our new government will be established, so you don't have to worry about being isolated internationally!" Paniza said happily

"Major Panicha, you're too happy to be happy, we'll talk about these things when we succeed! Now the hawks of the dictatorship government are catching people everywhere, and we'll be exposed if we're not careful!" Dragan-Chuikov (Democrats) say calmly

"Maybe, we can do another big operation to divert their attention and create conditions for the uprising!" Vasil Radoslav (the future leader of the famous Radoslavs)

"Oh,

God! Are you going to do another assassination? But now they are already frightened, and there is no chance at all! ' asked Major Panic in surprise.

Vasil Radoslav said confidently: "Major Paniza, you are right! But if there is an assassination, do we have any other way?"

"The cowards in the cabinet are now almost like tortoises. Naturally, we have no chance to start! But what about their families? Are they not so strict?"

"Oh, God! Mr. Vasil, you are not possessed by the devil! No, please come and see the priest, it must be evil!" Kandin-Slov (democrat) couldn't believe it. Say

Facing the surprised eyes of everyone, Vasil Radoslav said indifferently: "No, I'm fine! Don't you think this is a good idea? Only by angering the dictator Stam will he make mistakes, Then furious revenge to provide cover for our next move!"

Contin-Slov said hesitantly: "But, God! To attack innocent people is beyond our bottom line!"

Vasil Radoslav said in a high spirit: "Gentlemen, it is worth paying a small price for Bulgaria!"

In the early morning of the Sofia Palace, Ferdinand had just had breakfast when the Minister of Education, Chekov, broke in.

"Your Majesty, what happened to the school?" Chekov said anxiously

Ferdinand's expression changed and he asked, "What?"

Chekov said nervously: "The police surrounded the school just now to arrest the anti-government elements, and now they are confronting the guards!"

Ferdinand said in surprise: "How is it possible? Isn't the school closed? How can there be anti-government elements!"

Chekov said with a wry smile: "Your Excellency, the students do stay in the school every day, but the teachers can come and go freely. Many of them are dissatisfied with the government's actions!"

"Many people have published articles criticizing the government. In addition, many of the arrested are their relatives and friends, and they should be able to do it for harbouring suspects."

Ferdinand nodded and said: "I understand! You go over with a company of guards and tell the police: I have taken over the school, I will handle the rest, and come to me if you have any problems. ."

"Yes, Your Excellency, I'll go right away!" Chekov said happily, and ran out as soon as he finished speaking.

Ferdinand knew that it was estimated that the Minister of Education's handwriting was indispensable, otherwise, even if he asked for help, he would not be so anxious.

He did not intend to delve into it, and Ferdinand, the Minister of Education of Chekov, was still satisfied. Work conscientiously and responsibly, and the most important thing is to have taken refuge in.

Bulgaria is really not big, and there are not many literati and writers. Although they have different political views, they have some friendship with each other. Now that Chekov has a friend involved, it is only natural for him to help.
