Mediterranean Hegemony Road

After thinking about it, Ferdinand asked: "Then the government can still sell the land this time and get back more than 100 million yuan?"

The Minister of Finance thought for a while and said, "Yes, Your Excellency! According to our Ministry of Finance estimates, this figure will be between 150 million and 200 million leva!

But considering that the price is only half of the market price, we are actually losing money! "

Ferdinand nodded and said, "Well! This matter will be discussed here today, and the government will proceed as planned!

The question of the Prime Minister's celebration, how are the preparations going? "

Constantine thought for a while and said, "Grand Duke, it's ready!

However, now that Mente Negro is preparing to establish the Kingdom of Montenegro, are we going to start preparing for the establishment of the Third Bulgarian Kingdom, Grand Duke? "

Ferdinand heard it, the point is that the "kingdom" is not an "empire". It seems that the public opinion has been fermented, but the government is still sober, and there is no foolish desire to establish the "Third Bulgarian Empire".

"This is indeed a question, or we should do the victory celebration together with the establishment of the Third Bulgarian Kingdom.

In this way, you can save a lot of expenses. If you invest this part of the funds in industrial construction, the effect will be better! "

Constantine had no objection. Everyone was a pragmatist and had little interest in these virtual ceremonies.

If it wasn't to win the hearts of the people, Ferdinand wouldn't even bother to do these ceremonies!

Not for anything else, just simply afraid of trouble. Every big ceremony makes him exhausted. For these activities, Ferdinand always hides when he can, but he really can't hide.

Resolute and resolute is the consistent style of Ferdinand. Over time, the Bulgarian government has naturally learned this style.

Ferdinand nodded, and the Prime Minister went back to prepare. As for procedural issues, those are all minor issues. Anyway, in the current Bulgarian Congress, no one dares to come out and force it!

No, there are people who dare to sing the opposite, but unfortunately they don't even have the chance to make a proposal.

According to Bulgaria's new electoral law, elected members of Congress must look at their contribution to the country, so the mouth-watering experts are excluded.

Everyone else has jobs.

Except for the rotation, the other hours are all done in their own way.

At the same time, the Bulgarian parliament has the highest absenteeism rate in the world, and it is common for members to take time off to work.

Ferdinand also supported this point. Everyone was busy, and no one bothered him.

Under normal circumstances, if the parliament wants to hold a meeting, it has to coordinate one month in advance, otherwise it is very likely that there will not be enough quorum.

Since the re-election in 1892, a total of five meetings have been held, including the first inaugural meeting!

Of the next four times, three of them were proposed by Fei, and only one was chaired by the Congress itself, and the number of deputies often fell short of the minimum threshold for convening a Congress.

For example, before the outbreak of the Balkan War, Ferdinand urgently convened a parliament to declare war on the Ottoman Empire, and only eight members arrived, less than one-third of the quorum!

But it doesn't matter, with Ferdinand's signature, he is legal, and the king of a monarchy is privileged. It's your own fault that the MP didn't arrive. You gave up your right to vote, but no one will wait for you.

At this point, monarchs all over Europe are envious. Although many of them are monarchies, it is a pity that their parliaments often cause them trouble and criticize the government.

For example, Nicholas II was very dissatisfied with the Russian Congress, and often ran out to brush his presence. Especially the so-called democrats are using Congress to fight him for rights!

Who doesn't know that behind these members are either big capitalists or big nobles, and more often the two are a combination of the two.

On several occasions, Nicholas II was preparing to study Ferdinand's revision of the electoral law, but he gave up after thinking about the actual situation of the Russian Empire.

If the time comes, a council composed of all nobles is elected, it will be even more troublesome!

Of course, Ferdinand didn't know it, and now he has announced another congress, tomorrow afternoon.

Don't say that the time is too tight. Ferdinand has done the bad thing of making a temporary announcement + convening a Congress immediately. It's just that both times they declared war, and they both won.

In this context, anyone who dares to speak out against the procedures can be regarded as a traitor by the public. Oh, and many MPs think so too.

"Time is life" is the slogan of the current Bulgarian government.

Any waste of time and inefficiency is a waste of life and a political mistake in Bulgaria! Therefore, if there is a shortage of people, there will be a shortage of people. Anyway, the work has to continue!

By convention, Bulgaria's new parliamentary elections should start this year. However, it was delayed for a few days by Ferdinand on the grounds that "the outbreak of the Greek-Turkish war may affect Bulgaria".

And then the Balkan war broke out, not to mention, all busy fighting? Who cares about elections?

This drag, it's now! But considering the issue of new territories, the scale of this election will be much larger than in the past, which is a big problem!

During the rule of the Ottoman Empire, elections were such a high-level event that even the Turks could not enjoy it, let alone the ethnic groups in the Balkans?

Except for a few progressive young people, it is estimated that many people do not even know what congressional elections are. What should we do?

There is also the issue of the division of the number of parliamentarians. If the previous Bulgarian standards are used, it is estimated that no one will run for election in many regions.

The reason is very simple, the contribution to Bulgaria is not enough, or the age and education are not enough.

Another trouble is the number of votes. In the past, if the number of votes in various regions was insufficient, there would be a slip-up election, which is also legal!

This is even more difficult. The Balkan ethnic groups under the rule of the Ottoman Empire are good enough to have enough to eat. How extravagant is education?

In this way, there are not enough voters, so how can the election be held?

Taking into account the actual situation, in the future, all regions of Bulgaria must also reduce the number of parliamentarians, otherwise the parliamentary meeting will be a problem.

With so many factors, now Bulgaria is not even qualified to hold parliamentary elections in the whole country!

Well, this vexing question was thrown by Ferdinand unscrupulously to Congress!

The solution is simple, but easy to get into trouble. For example, lowering the election conditions is unfortunately illegal. At least without Ferdinand's consent, the amendment of the electoral law does not exist!

If the election time is extended, or they are not given the right to vote, they will definitely be sprayed to death by public opinion. In short, how to deal with it will be embarrassing!

It turns out that Ferdinand thought too much. Now in the Bulgarian Congress, there are not many people who can play tricks, but there are a lot of honest people, and throwing problems to them is completely playing the piano to the bull!

Unsurprisingly, the establishment of the Third Bulgarian Kingdom was unanimously approved!

Regarding the election of the newly added territories, the resolutions of the congressmen are completely based on the current laws.

In short, "the dignity of the law must be maintained." As for other issues, democrats love to scold them!

Anyway, with the Bulgarian electoral law, there is not enough contribution, not even the right to vote, let alone the right to be elected!

Now Bulgaria attaches the most importance to soldiers, engineers, scientists, teachers, doctors, as for the others?

A self-proclaimed expert and scholar, Ferdinand doesn't admit it, no matter how well-known you are in the society, it's all for nothing.

Well, since Congress wants to play by the rules, Ferdinand has no reason to object. As for whether someone's interests have been harmed, there is nothing to be done. Absolute fairness has not existed since ancient times!

...

"Mr. Chekov, to revise the history of the Balkans, can we involve some sociologists, after all, they will do more!" Aleko suggested

Education Minister Chekov was puzzled, so he asked: "Why? You are the best writer in Bulgaria, aren't you the best at making up stories?

Besides, we will provide the information about the problem. You can work with a few literature practitioners in the school to compile a general framework first, and then slowly polish it! "

Aleko has the heart to cry, you are looking for a historical researcher to revise history, why are you looking for me as a writer?

"But, Mr. Chekov, I'm really not good at revising history! Or you can find those who study history, they are professionals!"

Chekov smiled and said, "If it's possible, why should I ask you? To revise history, the focus is on the word 'repair'!

I have been looking for them for a long time. Those old stubborn people insist on restoring the authenticity of history. What the hell is going on with the history of the various ethnic groups in the Balkans? What's our business?

Bulgarian funds are precious. We have invested a lot of money, but what we need is a history that is in the interests of Bulgaria. If we let them do it, how can we make up what we want? "

Aleko thought for a while and said, "Mr. Chekov, I'm serious, when it comes to counterfeiting ability, the group of parallel imports in the society are the real ones, it's their talent to open their eyes and talk nonsense!

I'm really not suitable. If I don't even believe in the revised history, how can I make others believe it? "

Chekov thought about it for a while, and it was the same reason. A clever trick, to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself!

He nodded, and then said: "Well, I'll try it first! But the issue of the origin of the nation is left to you. You can't shirk this matter any longer. This is related to the long-term stability of Bulgaria in the future! "

Aleko nodded, this difficulty is even smaller, Bulgarians can really get involved with many ethnic groups.

There is still some theoretical basis. It is now one of the Yugoslav nations recognized by the world. After looking through the history and thinking again, it is possible to soften the ethnic groups in the Balkans into one family!

As for why it split into so many ethnic groups, of course, it is the fault of the Ottoman Empire. At least everyone in the ancestors is indeed close relatives.
