Bulgarian Empire

Vol 2 Chapter 2: , Aftermath measures

   Great powers are great powers, even if they are parallel imports among the great powers, the strength of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is still not covered! The problems in the eyes of the Serbian government were easily solved by the Austro-Hungarian Empire!

   Is that really the case?

   After receiving the information anyway, Ferdinand laughed, but he knew how strong the Serbs are!

   The surface is calm, but in fact, I don’t know how many undercurrents are surging! ! That is to say, I have just been hit hard, I am still licking the wound, and I am a little more rested!

   Parallel time and space At the end of 1894, Serbia had a population of more than 2.3 million, but this time and space is much more miserable! !

First, the economic crisis was overshadowed by Ferdinand and suffered heavy losses; and because of the arms race provoked by Ferdinand, which intensified domestic contradictions, the rebellion that should have been suppressed immediately was dragged by Ferdinand’s intervention. In two years, more than 100,000 Serbs died in the civil war;

   Immediately after the Bulgarian-Serbia War broke out, nearly one-third of the territory was lost this time, and the direct loss of population exceeded 300,000, and the economic losses were countless! !

  As of now, the total population of Serbia is less than 1.7 million, and there is a serious lack of young and strong labor. Most of the passionate young people are already shrouded in horse leather, and naturally they lack the main force of trouble! !

   On the surface, it seems that the Austro-Hungarian Empire helped Serbia stabilize the situation. In fact, there are nearly 300,000 untimed bombs, which have not been removed! !

   Long-term raising? ? Austria-Hungary is not a philanthropist! !

   Give them a way to make a living? ? Three hundred thousand people are mostly old, weak, sick and disabled. What can they do? ?

   is not all the case, in fact, there are resources to use. After all, the people on the battlefield are all young men who have little to do with women!

   Even so, the 300,000 population will still be a burden for Serbia in the short term, and the Serbian government is now bankrupt. The Austrian-Hungarian boss can only help temporarily!

   Nobody can stand it for a long time, and then it will be the moment when the conflict between the two sides intensifies!

   But this has nothing to do with Ferdinand. After the overturn of Serbia, the border has advanced more than a hundred kilometers, and the Chulin area is dominated. The strategic security of the capital Sofia is guaranteed!

   And within 20 years, Serbia will not have the ability to add chaos to Bulgaria. After 20 years, if Bulgaria still has to worry about Serbia, Ferdinand won’t have to mess with it, just find a piece of tofu in advance and hit him to death! !

   The shadow of the failure of the Second Balkan War has completely disappeared! ! Without Serbia, the other small countries in the Balkans, even if they were added together, Bulgaria would be enough to deal with it! !

   The Balkan countries at the end of the 19th century: Montenegro was few people and could be ignored directly; Greece's poor finances had a navy, so naturally the army’s combat effectiveness was ruined; the only real threat to Bulgaria was Romania! !

  Carol I of Romania, born in the army, has always attached great importance to the development of armaments, but what about the military’s combat effectiveness? It can only be regarded as so-so. The soldiers in the plains can't beat the soldiers in the mountains. There is no surprise! !

  Using Romania’s natural conditions, there was still a chance to develop, but who said Romania’s position is not good? ?

   West to Austria-Hungary, north to the bear, and south to Bulgaria, the direction of expansion is blocked! !

   On the surface, the only breakthrough direction seems to be to annex Bulgaria to the south, and then unify the Balkans! !

  Actually, history proves that this simply doesn't work, regardless of the attitudes of the two major powers around him; in terms of pure military strength, the Romanian army from the plains can't beat the sturdy Bulgarian army! !

   Then there will be no more. To be a neighbor with the ambitious bear, you must be cautious, and there is no scum that will be swallowed if it is bad! !

  It can be said that as long as the powers do not take full action, the Balkans will no longer be able to threaten the existence of Bulgaria!

  Serbia’s problem can now be thrown aside for now! The governance of newly added land is the big problem now!

   The population is a flaw. The population of 18,000 square kilometers is less than 20,000! There is not 5% before, so there is nothing we can do to develop and utilize this land!

   No way, who told Ferdinand to send everyone back to Serbia? There are few Bulgarians in the area, and some ethnic minorities that are easy to assimilate, still less than 20,000 people!

   Immigration is a must. The problem facing the Bulgarian government is how to resettle?

   Obviously, it is necessary to develop industry. Later generations have proved that the most suitable area is Niš. Unfortunately, the Niš area is now the new border of Baosai!

   No matter how confident Ferdinand is, he will not be stupid enough to put industry on the border. If the Serbs suddenly go crazy and come over and do sabotage, the loss will be huge!

  Industry can't do it, just engage in agriculture! ! Except for the area along the river, there are some plains, but most of the other areas are mountainous and hilly forests. UU Reading www.uukanshu. Com development is more difficult!

   However, Ferdinand is not worried about this problem. It is a big deal that there will be more rural poor people in the future, and the outbreak of this problem is at least a problem in the middle and late twentieth century!

   At the end of the 19th century, everyone's living standards were not good. Although the incomes of urban residents and remote mountainous areas were deviated, their living standards were similar, struggling between poverty and life and death lines! !

  Ferdinand thought for a while, decided to take out a part of the land in the plain area, reward the soldiers who made military merits, stimulate morale, and cultivate a group of high-quality military aristocrats! !

   Looking through the history books, we know that the military officers of civilian origin are not as good as the nobles in general! !

  Germany in World War I is the best example. Even though the Junker nobles held high positions in the army and hindered the fair promotion channels of civilian officers, their combat effectiveness still tops the world! !

  Isn't Bulgaria known as the Prussia of the Balkans? ? Let them be more veritable now! !

   As for future troubles? ? Ferdinand believed that the rising military nobleman could still be suppressed by himself! !

   As for the future? ? After the two world wars, the birth of nuclear weapons, and the stability of the world, the military aristocrats in the peaceful era have a much smaller influence, and there are no hidden dangers! !

   For the rest, farms will be established in plain areas; if the cost is too high for direct operation in mountainous areas, then bankrupt farmers will be recruited for reclamation, or they will be sold to farmers through a redemption policy!

   Now that the decision has been made, Ferdinand did not delay and threw the matter directly to the cabinet government.

   After all, it is easy to make a plan, but it is very troublesome to complete it. Ferdinand does not have so much energy to deal with, of course, the main thing is "lazy"! !
