Bulgarian Empire

Under Ferdinand's butterfly effect, the rubber crisis that broke out in 1911 did not evolve into a global economic crisis.

It is very funny to trace the reason, mainly because the economic crisis that broke out in the United States in 1907 continued until 1909 before it was completely over.

Under the natural law of survival of the fittest, the economy that exploded in 1907 has eliminated a large amount of production capacity, and now the capitalist world economy is in a recovery period.

Except for a few industries, most industries do not have the problem of overproduction, and there are not many industries involved in the rubber stock market, so naturally there will be no economic crisis.

Therefore, in this feast of capital, Ferdinand did not get too many benefits, far inferior to the Jewish capitalists who wantonly shorted. The aftermath was the anti-Semitic movement in Europe, which began to rise in the European continent again!

Oh, this harvest is not big, it is what Ferdinand thinks, in essence, the reward this time is still very rich.

"Little Karl, let's take stock of our harvest." Ferdinand said lightly

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Little Karl replied

"Since 19o2, we have made arrangements in advance in the rubber market, invested a total of 15 million levs (approximately 600,000 pounds), established 38 large and small rubber companies, and owned rubber plantations in Southeast Asia. 186, with a rubber planting area of ​​10,000 hectares.

After operation, it was listed in London, Shanghai, New York, Paris and other places. At its peak, the company's total market value approached 30 million pounds.

Before the stock market crash, we sold 8 million pounds to cash out. Before that, our company's stock income was about 3.8 million pounds, and the total profit after excluding costs and expenses was 10.36 million pounds!

In the later period, we spent nearly half a million pounds to repurchase the shares, and now we are delisting from the stock exchange six times! "

From the perspective of return on investment, the profit has been 16 times in eight years. Even if it is converted into each year, the annual return on investment is over 40%. It seems that this figure is very high.

In fact, Ferdinand knew that if he did not have his own bank to operate, it is estimated that he would not even get one-third of this profit!

There is no way, how can it be possible to speculate high stocks without the cooperation of financial institutions?

Compared with the huge profits in the financial industry, the rate of return on investing in the industry is really too low!

No need to think about Ferdinand, he knew that the selling of stocks could not just be the selling of his own company, even the stocks that were mortgaged to the bank for loans were all sold off!

After the stock market crashed, the banks bought back from the market at the price of cabbage, and then took the collateral to continue to recover the shortfall from the creditors. Otherwise, how could they make so much profit by just selling their own stocks?

Well, Ferdinand still has to face, he didn't take advantage of the fire after the stock market crash, otherwise the profit can be increased by at least half!

As for the companies to be acquired later, Carl Jr. didn't mention it, and Ferdinand didn't ask either. He knew that there were not many industries involved this time, and the gains would naturally not be great.

Except for a few unlucky capitalists who like to play financial games very much and are tricked into it, most capitalists are still a bit smart. The stock market crash once every few years on average has taught them that it is better not to gamble their wealth when playing stocks!

Therefore, most of the people who were really affected were the middle class and ordinary people, who were fooled by the good news of the stock market and became the ultimate victims!

...

"Honey, you haven't taken the names of the fifth and sixth son yet?" Queen Xenia said coquettishly

Ferdinand smiled awkwardly. Choosing a name is also a troublesome job, especially since there are already four names in front of him. The names that were eliminated before must not be used now, otherwise it is not paying attention to the twins. At least Xenia would not allow Ferdinand to be perfunctory!

However, for the name issue, their four elder brothers have eliminated hundreds of names, and there are not many names in the western world. When it was their turn, Ferdinand had a headache. For the first time, he felt It turns out that having too many children is also a kind of trouble!

Now Ferdinand is still admiring that he is sensible enough,

He didn't produce a bunch of illegitimate children, otherwise the headache index would be +1oo86!

"Honey, do you have any good suggestions?" Ferdinand decisively dumped the blame

Xenia rolled his eyes, the meaning is obvious, you are the head of the family, this is your problem.

At this point, they really have something in common. They can pick out a lot of problems with the names that others think of, but they can't think of a suitable name for themselves!

...

Ferdinand's troubles did not last long, and the foreign minister's sudden visit temporarily rescued him from this trouble, but new troubles came again!

"Your Majesty, the negotiations between France and Germany have failed. Now the Germans have sent warships to Morocco. The two sides are confronting each other. The French ask us to provide diplomatic support and prepare for war!" Megieff said

Although he had been prepared in his heart, Ferdinand was still a little worried when all this happened. History has changed, and the advantages of the Allied Powers are now much stronger than those of the same period in history.

So will the French be overwhelmed with self-confidence, thinking that the time for revenge has come, and simply drag everyone into the water and lead to war in advance?

This is an era that depends on strength!

If war broke out now, many of Ferdinand's plans would be in vain. Judging from the current strength of Bulgaria, it will be difficult to obtain the benefits Ferdinand wanted after the war.

"Well, tell the French that we will cooperate with them diplomatically, but it will take some time to prepare for war!" Ferdinand said lightly.

In this regard, Ferdinand is still very moral. Over the years, Bulgaria has received help from the French, and now it is time to repay.

But Ferdinand didn't foolishly tell the French that we are ready and we can do it!

Oh, it seems that Bulgaria is really not ready for war now. It seems that some things need to be prepared in advance.

...

After beating the foreign minister, Ferdinand told his attendants, "Notify the military committee to hold a military meeting tomorrow morning."

Although Bulgaria will not be the focus of the Allies' offensive due to its geographical location, the preparations that should be done still need to be done. It is not Ferdinand's style to just be beaten and not fight back!

Relying on the Balkan Mountains, Bulgaria's defense pressure is actually not that great. Except for the newly acquired cities from Romania's attack, most of the other areas are dangerous to defend, and there are not many places suitable for attack.

If Belgrade could be captured at the beginning of the war and the gates to the Balkans were closed, then the subsequent battles would be easier to fight.

Without two or three times the strength advantage, it is difficult to even attack! Anyway, it doesn’t come on tanks, and the planes are not powerful. In your era, using infantry to fight barbed wire + trenches is to fill up with human lives!

...

At the military meeting, Ferdinand beamed and said: "The continent of Europe is now like a powder keg, and a little spark can detonate them. Needless to say, you all know the contradictions between the two alliances!

Looking around, Bulgaria is now surrounded by enemies. Once the war breaks out, we will face attacks from multiple enemies at the same time!

Therefore, we must be prepared for war at any time. I ask you to come up with a feasible national defense plan as soon as possible! "

Well, this kind of strategic plan certainly cannot fit in one room of the General Staff.

However, the final plan has not been finalized until now. After all, this involves too many aspects. Ferdinand, who is a military amateur, is really inferior to these professionals when faced with specific plans.

Then, it can only be judged by these generals. Anyway, as long as the strategy is carried out according to Ferdinand's requirements, he will not interfere.

After thinking for a while, Ferdinand added: "By the way, judging from the strength of the two major alliances, I don't think we can win or lose in a short period of time, so we must be prepared for a protracted war!

When you make a war plan, you must also prepare for a protracted war, and you must take into account as much as possible all the crises we will face once the war breaks out.

For example, what would the Admiralty do if the Allies blocked our coastline with submarines?

For another example, after the war broke out, the French or the Russians suddenly collapsed, how should we deal with it?

Or, after the war broke out, the German navy defeated the Royal Fleet, what should we do?

...

In short, all the adverse consequences that can be imagined must be considered! "

Well, Ferdinand's words frightened everyone. Now everyone is very optimistic about the situation of the Allied Powers. They have never considered that there will be so many unfavorable situations!

The battlefield is ever-changing, who knows what will happen before the battle begins? In history, the Allied Powers won. In addition to having a big family and a strong national strength, it is also inseparable from the strategic mistakes of the Germans.

What if under the butterfly effect of Ferdinand, the Germans suddenly exploded? Didn't they make a strategic mistake?

Or the Germans were so lucky that they directly overthrew the British in the decisive naval battle. Who can say for sure?

In short, all of this is theoretically possible. As long as any situation happens and Bulgaria is not prepared in advance, the consequences will be disastrous!

Chief of the General Staff Imya Dimitev thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that these situations will not happen! Once the war breaks out, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will not be able to stop our joint attack with the Russians anyway." Yes, without the help of the Germans, the Austro-Hungarian Empire would not be able to hold on for half a year!

The Italians are not suitable for war. Once this happens, the Germans will fight alone, so the division of troops is inevitable!

In this way, the entire battlefield has become a struggle between the two sides, and the war potential of the Allies is not as good as ours!

As for the German Navy being able to defeat the Royal Fleet, this situation is even more impossible!

The strength gap between the two sides is too great, and with the help of the British and the French, even the Russian fleet in the Baltic Sea can contain some Germans.

And the fleets of the allies, Italy and Austria, can't leave the Mediterranean at all! "

Ferdinand nodded. Under normal circumstances, the deduction of the chief of staff is correct, but who can tell on the battlefield?

I saw Ferdinand said lightly: "Nothing is impossible on the battlefield, and the Germans will not be led by our noses. Is it really difficult to abandon the Austro-Hungarian Empire?

As long as the Germans are sure to kill the French before the end of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, all this will not be a problem. At that time, we will be the passive ones. Even if we add the Russians, we will still be at a disadvantage!

As for the naval decisive battle, everyone knows that sometimes luck is more important than strength. Even a tsunami on the sea may help the Germans win the battle. We can't take it lightly! "

Everyone remained silent. Obviously, what Ferdinand said was not impossible, especially since the Germans concentrated their forces on the front line. This possibility is still very high.

If at the beginning of the war, the Germans shamelessly launched a surprise attack, would the French be able to stop it?

No one can answer this question!
