Bulgarian Empire

Vol 5 Chapter 39: , "10 Year Plan"

The situation in the United States has come to an end for the time being, and it will not be a matter of a while for all states to establish their own country.

Information from the Americas shows that there is now a pocket kingdom in the United States. The small villages of Qianer 800 people have become independent a lot, but everyone has no time to pay attention to these children's games!

Ferdinand also paid close attention to the king election movement of the independent kingdoms of Texas and the Kingdom of Alisgar at most. How can I say that the Gotha family is also one of the top families in the European world, and naturally it has also entered the candidate list. List.

However, because of the special national conditions of the United States, it is estimated that there will be no results for a while, and Ferdinand will push his hands in secret at most. It is fine to go shirtless, and it is not easy to secure an improper throne!

In addition to these, the biggest event is the division of the U.S. Navy. Twenty-eight battleships and eight battlecruisers are the focus of everyone’s division. Of course, all powers are eligible to participate in the division of capital ships. Small countries are divided into several cruisers or A destroyer is enough.

The British Empire is still domineering as always, taking 17 dreadnoughts and four battlecruisers directly, and the rest are Bulgaria, France, and the four Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Russian Empire to divide the spoils.

Of course, the British can take so much, and there is also Ferdinand’s behind-the-scenes man behind it. The Navy is an aristocratic service. The Royal Navy’s capital ships have increased by nearly half. Of course, this military expenditure will also increase!

As the navy's military expenditures increase, it will inevitably squeeze out the funding of other departments, such as the Sixth Army and the Air Force, and their military expenditures will be reduced.

At the same time, with so many battleships, the British aircraft carrier process will also be interrupted! John Bull's funds are also limited, and it is impossible to invest in every place.

Although the three kingdoms of the Americas are rich, due to the war, they cannot return the British government's finances in the short term.

Ferdinand will certainly not refuse to use a bunch of obsolete warships to hold the British exhibition process.

The distribution of the remaining warships went very smoothly. Nicholas II, who was short of money, said that he could not support a large navy, so they did not need the warships, and they could directly discount them; the finances of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were not much better. And there are no overseas colonies. Isn’t it a waste to raise a large navy?

Both of them asked for a discount, and the rest was for France and France. Ferdinand was not interested in building a large navy. So he took away two battlecruisers and four dreadnoughts, and left the rest to the French. Up.

The discount required by the Russians and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was naturally borne by the French. Anyway, they are the creditors, and it is enough to pay off part of the debt.

Regaining the title of the world's second naval power is the point. How can the proud French tolerate being overwhelmed by the Japanese?

An arms race? Naturally it doesn't exist anymore. Without the U.S., who would dare to provoke an arms race in this age?

The British navy has once again returned to the two-power standard era, namely: Royal Navy strength>the sum of the world naval powers ranked second + third.

The world is peaceful, of course we must develop the economy! Otherwise, when everyone is finished, they will have to do things with each other again. Now no one can help Bulgaria set the tank!

On August 12, 1921, Bulgaria's first "Ten Year Plan" construction outline was submitted to the National Assembly for review.

The ten-year plan includes industry, agriculture, education, medical care, military, transportation, etc. The total planned investment is as high as 100 billion levs, of which 40 billion levs are directly invested by the government and 600 billion levs are invested by private capital. Billion lev.

Involving national key projects: 192 and 321 sub-key projects!

Such a big deal can only be done in Bulgaria. Other countries have not known how many governments have changed in ten years. How can the policy continue?

Don't look at the large amount of investment. Half of it was smashed into transportation. Railways and highways are two gold-swallowing beasts. Among them, railways are fully invested by the government, and highways allow private capital to intervene.

In order to encourage private capital to be invested in transportation construction, the government is responsible for solving the land problem and exempting related taxes. However, the roads constructed by capitalists cannot be charged and can only be profited through gas stations.

Of course, if this is the case, it would be too cheap. The government also packaged rural roads to the capitalists who undertook the construction of high roads, and they were also built in accordance with Bulgarian traffic management standards.

This standard is limited to the Balkan Peninsula, as long as the main roads are built in other areas!

Ferdinand personally attended this meeting. Due to the strange nature of the Bulgarian Parliament and the rotation of the speaker, there is no such speaker. The chairperson is the Secretary-General of the Congress Rolex Dodd.

Everything was done in accordance with Bulgarian rules, there was no more nonsense. After Ferdinand signaled the start of the meeting, Rolex Dodd stepped onto the podium.

"Bulgaria's first "Ten-Year Plan" is submitted to the parliament for deliberation. All relevant information has been given to all members. I must have seen it.

I once again enforced parliamentary discipline, and I ask all members to speak in their professional fields, and listen to other people's opinions on fields they don't know.

During this meeting, no personal attacks should be made, the order of the venue should not be disturbed, and issues that have nothing to do with the topic should not be discussed! "

This is the characteristic of the Bulgarian parliament, which is completely different from the western parliament. It places great emphasis on professionalism and discipline. It can only be argued by relevant personnel. If you don’t know anything, just listen. Can vote.

The problem of violence in the venue has existed in history. It has not existed since Ferdinand took power. Those who dared to challenge order were deprived of their status as members of parliament. The reason was that they were not qualified to serve as members of parliament because of their personal moral training.

After a pause, seeing no one raised any objections, Rolex Dodd continued: "Now we will proceed to the first item, the "Ten-Year Plan for Large-scale Industrial Plan" discussion proposal submitted by the Ministry of Industry.

1. The government will invest 3 billion levs to build ten new industrial bases across the country and improve infrastructure to attract enterprises to take ownership;

2. Investing one billion levs for ten years and building five large-scale steel plants, including steel mills, coke plants, rolling mills, iron mills, mining plants and other ancillary facilities. It is expected that the annual output of steel will be 10 million after the commissioning. Ton;

3. The investment of 1.2 billion levs in ten years and the construction of 40 large power plants, including hydropower plants and thermal power plants, is expected to be 200 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per day after commissioning;

4. Invest 200 million levs to increase coal production, including upgrading mining machinery and improving mining technology. The annual increase in coal production must not be lower than domestic demand;

5. The government will invest 500 million levs to promote the upgrading of the shipbuilding industry and reward companies that promote technological innovation. The specific standards are determined according to actual conditions;

..."

Zero Zero has a total of 128 articles, but the need for government investment in industries is much less than in the previous five-year plan. Many industries are supported by the government instead of going naked.

In this respect, this is also a great progress. The foundation of the industrial foundation has been laid, and the rest is the upgrading of industrialization technology and the expansion of production, and the functions of the Bulgarian government are gradually returning to the right track!

The 128th industrial plan has a total investment of 15.8 billion levs, but the investment in many places in it is no longer necessary for the government to invest in person. Private capital can also enter, which greatly reduces the financial pressure.

At the beginning of the question, a congressman who worked in a steel plant asked: "Dear Mr. Lauren, I would like to ask if Bulgaria really needs so much steel?

Last year, the total output of steel production in Bulgaria was 5.86 million tons, and this year it may exceed 6.5 million tons. Our steel output has already grown rapidly. Is it necessary to continue to increase? "

Lauren Holman, Minister of Industry, replied with a smile: "This question may be asked by many people, and I can tell you clearly-need!

This has something to do with our industrial upgrading. The big railway plan promoted by the government later, as well as the exhibition of the shipbuilding industry and the exhibition of the automobile industry, cannot meet the demand with our current natural growth rate of steel.

Let me give you an example. Now our shipyard has an annual output of 500,000 tons of ships. Not to mention the annual growth rate. Three large shipyards have just been put into production. They will officially start production next year. The production capacity of these three shipyards alone is one million. Tons, which means that the demand for steel in the shipbuilding industry will increase by one million tons next year!

There is also the automobile industry. At present, our domestic tractors and agricultural vehicles are growing very fast. The annual growth rate is as high as 43%. The growth rate of household cars is also 21%. The demand for steel in the automobile industry The amount is not a small number.

Our steel growth rate has not caught up with the consumption in the domestic market, so the government has increased its investment! "

After getting a satisfactory answer, the councillor sat back directly and gave the opportunity to ask questions to others.

The host Rolex Dodd said: "If you have any questions, please raise your hand."

Soon someone raised his hand again. As usual, whoever raises his hand first and who asks the question first, each person can abstain from one question. If you want to ask a second question~www.novelmtl.com~, you can only ask questions again after others have finished asking!

Rolex Dodd said: "The second gentleman from left to right in the third row, please ask questions!"

The middle-aged man asked puzzledly: "Dear Mr. Lauren, in terms of investment costs, the investment in hydropower plants is obviously higher than that of thermal power plants. Now European countries are promoting thermal power. Why should we vigorously develop hydropower plants?"

Industry Minister Lauren Holman still smiled and replied: "This involves the dual issue of energy and environmental protection, let's talk about energy first!

Nowadays, thermal power plants mainly use coal for electricity, and a small part of it uses diesel for electricity. Diesel comes from petroleum, but whether it is coal or petroleum, it is a non-renewable resource. Our generation has exhausted them, our children and grandchildren. What about future generations?

Ordinary people may say that this is unfounded worry, we in Bulgaria do not lack these things, but as a government we must take these issues into consideration, and we can save a little bit!

In terms of environmental protection, thermal power plants do more damage to the natural world than hydropower plants. There is no need to explain this. Looking at the thick black smoke of thermal power plants, everyone knows that it is not a good thing.

Therefore, the Ministry of Industry has integrated economic, energy, and environmental protection factors to formulate this exhibition that focuses on hydropower and thermal power plants.

And this is only temporary. In the future, if the country's economy allows, we may gradually replace thermal power with hydropower. This process is very long, and it may take fifty or even a hundred years! "

Lauren Holman's answer this time ushered in a round of applause. This generation of Bulgarians has a strong sense of social responsibility. This plan to integrate the country's present and future is very in line with everyone's appetite!
