Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 45, Report

In the end, Ferdinand still did not agree with the Ministry of the Navy's shipbuilding plan, but he did not completely reject it. At least he approved the construction of an upgraded coastal defense battleship, two cruisers, and a destroyer.

This is also determined by the geographical location of Bulgaria. After occupying Crete, Bulgaria has built an island chain defense circle.

Theoretically, if any country's fleet wants to attack the Bulgarian mainland from the Aegean Sea, it can only go island by island to snatch it.

Just like Bulgaria attacked the Ottomans before, if the Ottomans hadn't voluntarily given up, this must be a protracted battle!

And Ferdinand knew that with the development of aircraft technology, warships could soon be threatened in coastal areas, and this situation would no longer exist!

Without air supremacy, wanting to attack from the Sea of ​​Love and threaten the Bulgarian mainland is undoubtedly a dream!

Crete is not a small island. Bulgaria can easily deploy hundreds of aircraft on it, and it can also carry out continuous replenishment from the mainland. As long as the enemy is not stupid, it will not attack from here!

Even if it is a submarine, no country other than the Ottoman Empire dares to enter. If you are not familiar with the islands and reefs that make up for it, you may be finished on the way. Who would go in and die?

Therefore, in the future, Bulgaria's maritime crises will mainly come from the Adriatic Sea, the Strait of Otranto, and the Mediterranean region. This is the main reason for the construction of coastal defense battleships.

Not to mention the role of building destroyers and cruisers, in addition to escorting battleships, it is to deal with German submarines!

The main decisive battle against the Bulgarian navy is not enough, but it is still possible to bully the submarine. This is also related to the lifeline of Bulgaria's ability to obtain supplies from the outside world after the outbreak of the World War. If all of them are handed over to the British, Ferdinand is not at ease!

Anyway, these ships are not as expensive as dreadnoughts, and they will not be obsolete for a long time in the future. Naturally, Ferdinand doesn't care about building more ships!

...

Knowing that Ferdinand attached great importance to the population issue, Constantine deliberately put this issue at the forefront and said: "Your Majesty, this is the statistics of new pregnant women in the first half of the year by local governments. Compared with the same period last year, it has increased by 100% Eighteenth, this is due to the fact that the implementation of family planning is too short, and the growth rate is expected to be even greater in the second half of the year!"

Ferdinand smiled slightly. He was obviously very satisfied with the data. After all, the "Family Planning Law" was just implemented at the beginning of the year. In just a few months, the number of pregnant women has increased significantly. It can be seen that After coming out, the status of the Bulgarian government in the hearts of the people is still very good!

After more than two decades of Ferdinand's efforts, the credibility of the Bulgarian government had been established. Judging from the public's reaction, this is undoubtedly an affirmation of the government's work, otherwise people's first reaction is not to try to make people, but to find out whether it is true or false!

Seeing Ferdinand's satisfied expression, Constantine continued: "Up to now, we have established nursery schools in every city. In addition to adopting children whose parents cannot support them, Constantine can also help some special families. Take care of children in a short period of time, charge a certain fee, and now it has started trial operation!"

Ferdinand was slightly taken aback. In this way, it is estimated that the nursery school will become a kindergarten in the future. In the Bulgarian education of this era, although the kindergarten has already taken shape, it has not yet been promoted.

"How is the operation of Tor Park, and how many applications are received?" Ferdinand asked with concern

Constantine thought for a while and said: "At present, everything is running normally. Over the past month of trial operation, only 281 applications have been received across the country. After review, all of them meet the requirements!

There are quite a lot of applications for babysitting. There are tens of thousands of cases so far. We only charge the operating cost. We only charge 5 leva per month for babysitting. If it is a long-term stay, there will be an additional charge 2.5 lev, these fees also include the living expenses of the children! "

Fortunately, in this era,

The heart is simple and has not been corrupted by money, otherwise it is estimated that most of the children in Bulgaria will find a way to sneak into the nursery!

If you want to leave it for later generations, it can be free anyway, so why should you give money? Throw the child inside, can the nursery school still starve him?

There may even be many children who don’t even know who their parents are. If they are in a good mood, they will come and see them once.

But this is Bulgaria, Ferdinand can be sure that this situation will never happen before he is alive!

Of course, the price set by the Bulgarian government is also very conscientious. According to this charging standard, after excluding the children’s eating, drinking and sleeping, the remaining money is probably enough to maintain the venue.

This is really just an operating cost. In theory, if a nursery school accepts 50 children, the profit is enough to pay an employee's salary. Generally speaking, trying to cover the expenses is just a dream!

After all, the minimum wage standard for ordinary workers in Bulgaria is 75 levs, and the average daily wage is 2.5 levs. This is only two or three days’ wages for ordinary workers. In Ferdinand’s view, this charging standard is already doing charity!

Of course, Ferdinand still supported this move by the government. The life of the working class was already difficult. Now that they responded to his call to work hard to have children, how could he increase their burden?

One child spends their income for two or three days, and when five or six children come down, the income of a labor force will be gone!

It's not that Ferdinand is not good at math, adults have to dress and eat themselves, all of these have to cost money! In this way, the income of a strong laborer may not be enough!

If family expenses are included, a couple can raise five or six children to their limit, but it doesn't matter if they have more children. Isn't the government rewarding them?

The reward for the sixth child is 800 levs, which is enough to cover the living expenses of a child for nine years if you put it in a nursery school, and if you don't stay overnight, you can raise it until it is thirteen or fourteen years old!

Not to mention the seventh child, 1600 lev is enough to raise a child!

There is no way, it is really cheap to raise children in this era, and the material living standard is like this. For ordinary people, apart from being able to eat enough, any other pursuit is a luxury!

Even the clothes are passed down from generation to generation. After the parents' clothes are downsized, they are left to the children. Brothers and sisters are ready to take over one by one!

Education is paid by the government. If you cannot enter middle school after the age of fifteen or sixteen, you will either have to work or farm in the society you were born in!

If you are lucky, you can join the army and hang out for a few years, just in time for the war, and make achievements in the war, then it is considered a profit!

Ordinary people basically have no extravagant expectations, which is why Bulgaria built by Ferdinand is so belligerent!

Only war is an opportunity to change people's destiny. Otherwise, if you want to fight on your own, it depends on luck and talent. Hard work alone is very difficult to succeed.

Ferdinand said without hesitation: "Very well, as a government, it should do what it can to help the people solve their difficulties!

If we want to increase the population, we must let the people let go of their courage to live and solve their worries. You have done a good job in this regard! "
