Mediterranean Hegemony Road - v5 Chapter 159

Affected by the economic crisis, the number of people who committed suicide this year reached a record high. The number of suicides in the world cannot be counted, but the number of suicides in Britain and France has exceeded 100,000, far exceeding normal years.

The pattern of suicide also jumped out of desperation, there were suicide by jumping from the sea, suicide by hanging from the building, suicide by hanging, shooting by suicide, and even more strange may be stupid reading books, and chose to kill himself by drinking.

The bullet was swallowed, but unfortunately the person had not died immediately, the pain was unbearable, and he was unable to seek medical treatment, and had to commit suicide again.

Tower Bridge in London, Waterloo Bridge, Eiffel Tower in Paris, Suicide Bridge in California, and Mihara Crater in Japan have all become famous suicide sites. The governments of both countries were forced to close these “tourist mecca”.

It can be said that this economic crisis has directly led many countries into the era of negative population growth in advance, and everyone is too busy taking care of themselves. Who has the thought to have children?

Now that someone commits suicide, it is no longer news. If no one commits suicide, it is news.

The world is full of sorrows and sorrows. At this time, no one is helping the city anymore. Everyone doesn’t know how to save the city.

The virtual economy was originally blown out. After the bubble burst, many talents found out that what a lot of so-called “quality enterprises” are.

No matter how big the development potential is, the market capacity is essentially limited, and it is impossible to grow unlimitedly.

Now when we look back, we suddenly find that most of the so-called high-quality enterprises have been hollowed out, leaving behind some cold and cruel residues.

Capitalists are not stupid. With the advantage of information, they are one step closer to ordinary people in the face of crisis. There is no international chase in this era. Do n’t have too many people who fled and donated money when the bubble burst!

Find a country to emigrate, who knows them? Change a place, and then continue to spend a lot of time, all who really stay are a bunch of scapegoats.

If the disasters in Britain and France are still to blame, then Germany and Italy are free of misfortunes, and they are brought to you by Britain and France.

Since the UK announced the increase in tariffs, a large number of foundries have also closed down. At the same time, Germany has added 5 million unemployed workers. This is a natural day.

Immediately afterwards, all countries in the world increased tariffs, as if only by increasing the tariffs could the market be rescued.

Germany and Italy have become the biggest victims. European industrial powers have a total of six countries: Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Italy. Among them, Germany and Italy have huge war reparations to pay.

In recent years, all the wealth created by the two countries has been used to pay down debt.

Coupled with the rise of Bulgaria, it has seized the Germans’ advantages in the field of machinery manufacturing, and now Germany has also become a primary industrial country.

Except for the production of some ordinary goods, they can no longer be seen in the high-tech field. Without the input of American capital, the Germans naturally have no money to invest in research and development.

For more than ten years, the Germans are completely behind the times in the fields of machinery manufacturing, medical chemical engineering, and metallurgy.

In the face of crisis, like the Italians, they have no ability to resist risks, and the result is naturally tragic.

Germany and Italy have become the countries with the highest unemployment rates in the world and the most chaotic countries in Europe. A large number of unemployed people seriously threaten the country’s normal operations.

Looking at this information, Ferdinand frowned. Historical data is no longer of reference value. Italy’s Mussolini is not a national leader, but now he is only a member of the unemployed army.

Well, is this the Mussolini in history that still has to be verified, the whole Italy is called this name, how can there be one hundred and eighty people? Ferdinand’s memory is not so good, naturally it is indistinguishable.

The “spicy and crispy” idea has already appeared, and it has begun to spread around the world, but there is no successful example, and the climate is not yet ready. It is impossible to hang Europe like in history.

Ferdinand did not know where the legendary head of “Sitler” was. The main reason is that he hasn’t met with his buddies. There are too many people in Germany with this name. Before the “Spicy Vegetables” Party came out, it was really difficult to tell.

Moreover, Ferdinand still remembers that he looks like an Austrian. Now that the Habsburg family is still there, even if he wants to go to Germany, it will be a problem if he refuses to let him join German nationality!

Now the relationship between Germany and Austria is not much better than the relationship between Germany and France.

After the unremitting efforts of both sides, the Austrians now believe that the defeat of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is the revenge of the former Austria.

They believed that the Austro-Hungarian Empire had no intention of launching a world war. The relaxation of the relations between Bulgaria and Austria was a testament to the fact that they were pulled by the Germans onto the battlefield.

They helped the Germans fight for two years for free, suffered millions of casualties, and have long been worthy of their ally. It is natural to stand by the winner at the last moment.

The Germans do n’t think so. Without the betrayal of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the last moment, they would not lose so badly. At that time, the Allies also suffered heavy losses. Russia also broke out in the civil war. If we work together, we can still end the war decently. of!

It is this difference in position that makes the relationship between the two countries impossible to normalize. Even after the end of the World War, the Austro-Hungarian Empire tried to annex parts of South Germany.

From the German’s point of view, if it was not for the support of the British and Bulgaria did not want the Austro-Hungarian Empire to grow, South Germany would almost have surnamed Austria.

Looking at the map of the world, Ferdinand let go of the hanging heart, not that he looked down on the Germans, but at this time, it was really not suitable for them to perform.

At this time, even if Germany was reunified, its comprehensive national strength was only five or six layers of the third empire in history, but the enemies they faced were several times greater than in history.

Not to mention Italy, France annexed 18% of their territory, Britain annexed 9% of their territory, and Bulgaria accounted for 3% of their territory. Historically, they had originally It also acquired a piece of territory in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which also disappeared during this period.

Territorially, the Kingdom of Italy lost at least 35 percent, and demographically they lost at least 40 percent. War and hunger are also dead.

There is no need to look at the industry. Even if Britain and France are transferring industrial capacity, they will not go to Italy to develop heavy industry. The light industry now has no factories when it closes.

The overall national strength is less than half of the same period in history. Now even if they want to do anything, they do not have that strength.

“Your Majesty, Germany and Italy have declared financial bankruptcy at the same time, and troubles in Britain and France have come again!” Metiev said excitedly

The economies of Britain and France were hit hard. How many people are waiting for German and Italian compensation to come down? At this time, they announced that they had settled the bill. What should these people do?

Nominally whether it is the debt of the Russian Empire or the debt of Germany and Italy, which are in the hands of the banking institutions of Britain and France, it is actually not the case.

In order to share the risks, the banking institutions have already prepared bonds and sold them to ordinary people.

The normal year is okay, and each year you can receive a part of the money from the German and Italian compensations as investment income.

Once you run into bad debts, you will lose everything. Especially at the time of the economic crisis, many people are unemployed, waiting for the money to support their lives, and at this time nothing is left.

“This is expected. Britain and France have played warriors to break their wrists and passed the unemployment crisis to Germany and Italy. What else can they use to pay their debts?

If nothing else, the French can emerge from the economic crisis next year.

The French industrial capacity is already very low, and the colonies and local markets they control can basically absorb this part of the capacity.

The British are in big trouble. If the capitalists of the three North American countries do not cut meat, their industrial capacity will still be in an excess capacity, and the London government will cry. Ferdinand said gleefully

In the face of the economic crisis, the colonial army is the best weapon for flood relief, but the purchasing power of the colony is not strong?

Years of exploitation, even in a wealthy place, can be squeezed out one day!

There are no three North American countries in history. John Bull can easily survive the economic crisis. At this time, it will not work. The industrial capacity will at least double the historical period.

Can’t go half way down? But the palms and backs are all meat. Where should I move the knife? This problem is estimated that the Macdonald government is still suffering.

“His Majesty, judging from the current situation, the outbreak of chaos in Germany and Italy is inevitable, and there may even be a civil war.

In order to escape the economic crisis, the British will even support Germany and Italy to challenge European order. We must take action! “Chief of Staff Christoph said.

“This is indeed a problem, but the Italians have limited strength and are sandwiched between us and the four countries of Britain, France, Austria and Hungary. Who are they capable of challenging?

Is it going to attack Switzerland? It ’s not that I look down on them. If they fight, the Italian kingdom now really wo n’t win Switzerland!

The situation of the Germans is not much better. If they want to challenge the European order, they want to fight a civil war. Once the civil war breaks out, they will lose control.

The French and the Austro-Hungarian Empire will not allow them to reunify again. At this time, they must go back to the old path in history and fight a Franco-Prussian war and a Austria-Prussian war.

With the last lesson, neither France nor the Austro-Hungarian Empire will give them every chance to break. As soon as the German central government is found to have the possibility of unifying the country, the two countries will interfere.

At this time, even if the British had a clear-cut alliance with the Germans, they could not shake the determination of the two countries.

Without a chance of success, will the Germans take risks? I guess they don’t even know this!

However, we still can’t be taken lightly. Our navy has been suppressed for so many years, and now it is time to start exerting force.

Let the Admiralty come up with a shipbuilding plan, and as soon as the London Naval Restriction Treaty expires, we will start dumplings! Ferdinand said lightly

“Your Majesty, since we are going to start an arms race, why not start it now? At this time, neither the British nor the French can compete with us!

After three years, I am afraid they have recovered. At that time, when everyone competes again, our advantage is not great! Asked Prime Minister Constantine in confusion.

“Mostly it is not necessary, and naval warships cannot be built in one day. It is a year and a half ahead, and does not have much effect.

Now we have eliminated some old warships and replaced them with new ones. It is not a wise man to compete directly with the British in the navy!

Unless the Commonwealth breaks down, we will have enough advantages in industry to pile up the British by number. It is not the time! Ferdinand sighed and said

Without living in this era, it is impossible to understand the power of the British Empire in the navy. Do not look at their poor performance in World War II. It was because the British were economically dragged down.

Without money, there is naturally no big navy. Just like the German Army did not have a material battlefield, the Royal Navy finally fell because it did not have a large amount of capital investment.

Fight for quality? Forget it, the technical gap between everyone in this era is not large, and this gap is not enough to open up the combat effectiveness of both navies.

Fighting for soldier quality? It is estimated that Bulgarian soldiers should be brave, but in the navy, the victory or defeat of war cannot be determined by individual courage.

Overall navy quality, the British were still the number one in the world during this period.

In the end, Ferdinand found that the American method was the most reliable. He played the warship torrents directly and killed the enemy with a number.

“Your Majesty, we have the advantage of the Air Force. If we vigorously develop aircraft carriers, we will have even more advantages!” Christoph proposed

“Then we will develop aircraft carriers. The future world belongs to the sky. Whoever controls the air will be able to dominate the world.

The British will soon become a thing of the past. Waiting for them to build a large number of battleships, and finally find that they can only be reduced to the targets of aircraft, isn’t it interesting? Ferdinand said with a smile

The battle between cannons and aircraft carriers has always been the biggest contradiction of the navy of this era. Now the battleship faction has the advantage. Because of the performance of the aircraft, many people think that the next 50 years will be the world of battleships.

This controversy also exists in the Bulgarian Navy, but the battleship faction did not have an advantage. The Bulgarian Navy, a half-way monk ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~, is not powerful.

In addition, the Bulgarian Air Force ranks first in the world, and the aircraft has made technological breakthroughs, which is also Bulgaria’s biggest advantage.

Many people think that the Bulgarian Navy is more likely to succeed in the development of aircraft carriers than the Royal Navy.

Ferdinand is naturally also a supporter of the carrier faction, but he will not directly express his position, but let the navy make its own judgment.

As a result, there is no doubt about it. The biggest record of the Bulgarian Navy is to step on the Italian Navy to become famous. The outside world does not know the specific situation, can they themselves not know?

The navy in that war was basically doing after-effort work. The air force directly killed the main force of the Italian navy, and incidentally cleared the shore guns of the port, and they won.

It can be said that it was that naval battle that affected the judgment of the Bulgarian Navy. Many people are helpless to find that even powerful warships are so powerless in the face of threats from the sky!
