Bulgarian Empire - v6 Chapter 40

　　 At 5 o’clock in the morning on January 24, 1941, the Holy League launched a landing operation on the British Isles. Based on the principle of persimmon seeking softness, the landing site was chosen in Ireland.

　　 In order to cover the landing of the army, parts of the French navy, the Austro-Hungarian navy, and the Bulgarian navy were assembled in the English Channel.

　　 At the same time, there are still tens of thousands of warplanes hovering in the sky, and the Royal Navy fleet wandering in the Atlantic just dare not come up.

　　 It’s not that the British don’t work hard, it’s that the strength of the two sides is too far apart. Without air supremacy, the Royal Navy’s strength can be very good for five points.

　　 Originally, the British planned to use the Royal Navy’s superiority to blockade the coastline, but reality told them that it is better to stay away from the mainland without air supremacy.

　　 This is the price of blood. The African fleet is an example. After the outbreak of the South African War, they wanted to shell Bulgaria’s ports.

　　 In the end, they successfully completed the task, but the price was a bit heavy. This African fleet only ran away a few small torpedo boats.

　　 If it is an important port like Constantinople, it’s almost the same. A port like a fishing village like Africa may not be worth a battleship.

　　 “Your Majesty, the landing was successful! At 12:38 on January 24, 1941, the First Infantry Division of the Holy Alliance Expeditionary Force successfully landed on the island of Ireland!” Chief of Staff Christoph said in surprise

　　 Everyone smiled happily. As long as the landing is successful, it will be easy to handle. Among the British Isles, Ireland has the lowest defense.

　　 There are millions of Irish people on the island who are leading the way. What defense do the British use?

　　Without the potatoes on the island of Ireland, the British food crisis will intensify, and the countdown to war has entered.

　　 “Well, publish the news, and contact the independent organizations on the island of Ireland, so that they can form the Kingdom of Ireland as soon as possible!” Little Ferdinand thought for a while and said

　　The Bulgarian government has the words to say, since it has promised to let the Irish be independent, it must let Ireland be independent.

　　 This has nothing to do with buying people’s hearts. The newly formed Irish government was formed voluntarily by them. Opposing the British colonial rule was the spontaneous behavior of the Irish.

　　 Yes, it must be like this!

　　 Whether others believe it or not, Ferdinand himself believed it anyway. Isn’t it normal for the country to contribute to national independence?

　　 “Your Majesty, the Irish have been enslaved by the British for a long time. We must provide some help to them. I propose to assist the equipment of the fifteen infantry divisions of the Kingdom of Ireland!” Prime Minister Tolsky said abruptly.

　　 This is completely unpaid assistance, without the slightest political attachment. At the most, the Irish defense system will automatically move closer to Bulgaria.

　　 There is no way. It is very unrealistic for a small country to develop an independent national defense system. The cost of developing and manufacturing its own weapons is definitely much more expensive than outsourcing.

　　 Anyway, I have to buy it, but whoever buys it?

　　What, you said weapons and ammunition are too expensive?

　　 As it is said that cheap goods are not good, Bulgaria’s weapons and equipment are number one in the world, and the price is naturally a little higher.

　　 “The Prime Minister said well, telling the Irish to wait for their navy to be formed, we will send them a battleship!” Little Ferdinand said indifferently

　　 With the outbreak of this war, battleships have become less and less popular in the navy, and everyone knows that the future is the era of aircraft carriers.

　　 In this context, the dozen battleships in the Bulgarian Navy are an eye-catcher. They can also serve as **** carriers during the war, and their retirement after the war is irreversible.

　　 Little Ferdinand does not feel distressed when sending people away. Ireland is the beginning. In the future, it is estimated that many countries will receive Bulgaria’s navy gift packages.

　　 These warships are tasteless to the European powers, but they are different in the hands of small countries. A battleship is completely used to support the facade.

　　 Little Ferdinand is very disciplined. Not only does he send warships for free, but he can even provide logistics services, but he needs to charge a small fee.

　　 This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as you spend a little money you can establish your own country’s naval system. Although all warships are bought, this is also a great temptation.

　　 The navy is a gold swallowing beast. A battleship can only be 50 or 60 million lev, but a series of attached warships and supporting logistics supply system can’t be done without 3.5 billion.

　　 Whether these countries can support their finances, this is not Bulgaria’s problem. If you don’t have money, you can still get a loan, as long as you have a mortgage.

　　 Little Ferdinand said that Bulgarian banks are not picky. Both mineral resources and government taxes can become part of the collateral.

　　 even undertakes land mortgage, in order to take care of everyone’s face, you can only mortgage the right to use the land, not the sovereignty.

　　Look at how caring these services are. Even everyone’s face is taken care of. It seems that everyone’s land in this era is privately owned and the right to use is indefinite.

　　 These are all trivial things. If you have money in the future, you can redeem it again. This is purely a commercial mortgage and does not involve any sovereignty issues.

　　 International loans in this era are very black, and the additional political conditions are often ten or a hundred times more serious than the interest on the loan itself. The unattached mortgage loan launched by the Bulgarian Bank can be said to be a banker of conscience!

　　It can be imagined that as soon as Bulgarian banks launch these financial services, they will be immediately welcomed by governments around the world.

　　 As long as it does not involve sovereignty and pure commercial loans, which government will refuse? Really think they are all local tyrants, without financial pressure?

　　Especially in republican countries, the term will be changed every three to five. Just consider the immediate problem. Whether the loan can be repaid in the future will be the next issue.

　　 It doesn’t matter if you can’t afford it next time. There is also the next government, as long as you have a good life now.

　　 It’s really no good. It’s a big deal to declare the government bankrupt. This kind of secured loans cannot be relied on. Unsecured loans can always be erased, right?

　　 Another example is the issuance of additional currency, artificially creating short-term economic prosperity and resolving the government’s financial crisis. Never overestimate the integrity of politicians.

　　In this respect, the countries in the Americas are the best customers, with sparsely populated land and abundant resources, and there are plenty of collateral in hand.

　　 Well, it seems that most of these industries have fallen into the hands of international consortia, but it doesn’t matter. Didn’t the British lose the war?

　　 Attached to the consortium that exists in the British Commonwealth, this time it’s hard to think about it.

　　 There are some countries that dare to confiscate the Bulgarian royal family’s enterprises. Ferdinand Ferdinand said: After the war is over, if he doesn’t extort ten times the compensation, he will die with them.

　　 In the current international situation, there is no possibility of a cold war breaking out. After the war, Bulgaria dominates the family, but there is no possibility to shop around!

　　 Foreign Secretary Coleman said: “Your Majesty, our local forces on the Southeast Asian battlefield are limited, but we have joined forces with the French to occupy the British Philippine Islands.

　　 The Japanese had already occupied the British Malay Islands and were attacking Burma and Australia at this time.

　　According to the information from our embassy, ​​the Japanese have successively deployed 800,000 troops from the Far East battlefield to these two areas.

　　 Judging from the current situation, the Japanese government may abandon the battlefield and concentrate on navigating the Southeast Asia.

　　 The Dutch have already felt the pressure. They are worried that the Japanese will take action against the Java region, hoping to get our safety protection! “

　　 “How did the Ministry of Foreign Affairs come to this conclusion? Judging from the map, I can’t tell you the core strategy of the Japanese people frankly. They are just trying to blossom in all directions!” Little Ferdinand asked in confusion.

　　 The Japanese strategy, he really didn’t understand it, even Bulgaria didn’t dare to play like them. They were all enemies in all directions, and only Thailand was barely an ally.

　　 Even if the enemies are weak chickens, don’t the rice need to be eaten bit by bit? At the same time, fighting on the four fronts at the same time, even if you can fight against the enemy, you must also consider the national strength!

　　 Coleman analyzed: “Your Majesty, there are two main reasons.

　　 First, the persimmons first look for a soft pinch. Neither the Soviet Union nor the Soviet Union will fight, and the Japanese government will not be able to win in the short term.

　　Second, the European war is about to end, and we refuse to accept them to join the Holy Alliance, which aggravates the inner anxiety of the Japanese government.

　　 The Japanese are worried that after the war we will focus our strategic focus on the Southeast Asian region. For their own safety, they may now choose to take military risks and occupy these regions first.

　　Theoretically, as long as the Japanese government occupied Australia and Southeast Asia, it could force us to abandon the colonies there and turn Southeast Asia into their back garden.

　　 In order to take the initiative, perhaps the Japanese government is also preparing to attack India and foster a pro-Japanese Indian government to keep us out of the subcontinent.

　　In this war, the losses of the great powers in the Holy League were not small, and neither the Austro-Hungarian Empire nor Western Russia would be interested in Southeast Asia.

　　 If we want to defeat them, it will become very difficult. This loss is likely to exceed the profit we can get! “

　　 Little Ferdinand nodded his head to express his approval. The Japanese government was so powerful in the Nanyang battlefield, and the British did not cause them much hindrance at all.

　　This gave the Japanese an illusion that the Japanese army has already surpassed the European powers in combat power, which stimulated their ambitions.

　　The two sides are separated by thousands of miles. As long as they occupy Southeast Asia, Australia, and the Indochina Peninsula to create a perfect defensive circle, even Bulgaria cannot help them.

　　Well, if the Japanese strategy is really realized, Bulgaria is really not good at them. In addition to bombing them all the way with atomic bombs, the losses in conventional warfare will be very large.

Chief of Staff Christophe retorted: “Mr. Coleman, I think it is unlikely that this will happen. The Japanese want to achieve this strategic goal. The Dutch, the French, and the colonies of our three countries are all nail.

　　We have landed on the island of Ireland. According to the current situation, the British will collapse this year. Are they sure they can occupy so many areas in these short months?

　　 If they can’t do this and they take the initiative to launch a war against us, isn’t they looking for death? Even if we use one-third of our power, the Japanese government cannot afford it! “

　　 It is theoretically feasible, but it is only theoretical, not so easy military.

　　 The British have no intention of fighting, and the London government knew that it could not defend these areas and gave up early.

　　 But Bulgaria, France, and the Netherlands are different. If the colonial government cannot beat the Japanese, can’t it be too late?

　　 As long as there is a foothold in the Nanyang region and the continuous entry of follow-up troops, the Japanese cannot stop it at all.

　　The gap in national power cannot be made up simply by strategy. Once it becomes a war of attrition, the result is doomed.

　　……

　　 “Forget it, don’t worry about the Japanese’s problems. Anyway, you can’t get over the big wave, let them go!”

　　 Little Ferdinand stopped the quarrel between the two sides. The cabinet members didn’t know the existence of the atomic bomb, but he knew it. If you get in a hurry, just throw it all the way.

　　 After so many years, Bulgaria has also stored hundreds of them. It may be possible to bomb from Nanyang all the way to Tokyo!

　　 “Yes, Your Majesty!” everyone replied

　　……

　　 Chancellor Merkel thought for a while and said: “Your Majesty, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Kingdom of Belgium, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and the Kingdom of Poland have all applied for loans to us.

　　 The Kingdom of Bavaria, the Kingdom of the Rhine, the Kingdom of East Prussia, the Swiss Confederation and other countries also intend to lend us loans. “

　　 The export of capital, Bulgaria has been prepared for a long time, how can the Lev replace the British pound without capital export?

　　 Including the output of naval weapons and equipment in the front, in essence it still serves the output of capital. Once the Lev becomes an international currency, the annual coinage is an astronomical figure.

　　 “What do you think?” Little Ferdinand asked

　　 “Your Majesty, as long as they can take out the collateral, we can approve these loans. For the smooth export of capital in the future, we should not put forward too many conditions now!” Prime Minister Tolsky said.

　　The Minister of the Interior, Berkeley, said: “Your Majesty, the Prime Minister said rightly. Now we have occupied the world’s largest gold mine, and the conditions for Lev’s globalization are already in place.

　　 Coupled with our oil settlement system, it won’t be long before the Lev will become a stronger international currency than the British pound! “

　　In the eyes of Ferdinand the young, the capital output of Bulgaria now = printing money. This is a question of degree.

　　 Paper money itself has no value. It depends on everyone’s approval to support the “value”.

　　 Once everyone recognizes Lev and uses Lev for settlement in international trade, then Bulgaria will kidnap the world economy.

　　 So the loan must be borrowed, otherwise people don’t have lev, even if they want to use lev for trade, they can’t do it!

　　For Bulgaria, the trouble now is how to get Levs in the hands of governments all over the world, and the larger the number, the better.

　　Only when everyone holds a large amount of Levs can a community of interests be formed. Because once Lev depreciates, they will suffer heavy losses. For their own interests, they must also support the market.
