Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Chapter 45, Report

In the end, Ferdinand still did not agree with the shipbuilding plan of the Admiralty, but he did not completely reject it. At least he approved the construction of an upgraded coastal defense battleship and two cruisers and destroyers. &1t;/p>

This is also determined by the geographical location of Bulgaria. After occupying Crete, Bulgaria has built an island chain defense circle. &1t;/p>

Theoretically, if the fleet of any country wants to attack the mainland of Bulgaria from the Aegean Sea, it can only snatch it from one island to another. &1t;/p>

Just like the Bulgarian attack on the Ottomans before, if the Ottomans hadn't voluntarily given up, it would have been a protracted war! &1t;/p>

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! &1t;/p>

Without air supremacy, wanting to attack from the waters of the Love Sea and threaten the Bulgarian mainland is undoubtedly a nonsense! &1t;/p>

Crete is not a small island. Bulgaria can easily deploy hundreds of aircraft on it, and can also make continuous replenishments from the mainland. As long as the enemy is not stupid, they will not attack from here! &1t;/p>

Even if it is a submarine, apart from the Ottoman Empire, it is estimated that no other country dares to come in. If you are not familiar with the islands and reefs that are made up, you may end up on your own halfway. Who will go in and die? &1t;/p>

Therefore, the future maritime crises in Bulgaria will mainly come from the Adriatic Sea, the Otranto Strait, and the Mediterranean region, which is the main reason for the construction of coastal defense battleships. &1t;/p>

Not to mention the role of building destroyers and cruisers, in addition to escorting battleships, it is to deal with German submarines! &1t;/p>

The main decisive battle of the Bulgarian navy is not qualified, but it is still possible to bully the submarine. This is also related to the lifeline that Bulgaria can obtain materials from the outside world after the outbreak of the World War.

Ferdinand wouldn't be at ease if it was all handed over to the British! &1t;/p>

Anyway, these ships are not as expensive as dreadnoughts, and they will not be outdated for a long time in the future. Ferdinand naturally doesn't care about building more ships! &1t;/p>

...&1t;/p>

Knowing that Ferdinand attached great importance to the population issue, Constantine deliberately put this issue at the top and said: "Your Majesty, this is the statistics of the newly-pregnant women in the first half of the year, which is an increase of 100% compared to the same period of the previous year. Eighteenth, this is due to the fact that the implementation of family planning is too short, and the growth rate in the second half of the year is expected to be even greater!"&1t;/p>

Ferdinand smiled slightly. Obviously, he was very satisfied with this data. After all, it 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 the Bulgarian government is in the public eye. The position in my heart is still very good! &1t;/p>

After more than two decades of work by Ferdinand, the credibility of the Bulgarian government has 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 create people, but to first find out whether this is true or false! &1t;/p>

Seeing Ferdinand's satisfied expression, Constantine continued: "Up to now, we have established nurseries in every city, in addition to adopting children whose parents cannot support them, we can also help some special families. Taking care of the children in a short period of time, charging a certain fee, and now the trial operation has begun!"&1t;/p>

Ferdinand was stunned for a moment. In this way, it is estimated that the kindergarten will become a kindergarten in the future. Although the kindergarten has already taken shape in Bulgarian education in this era, it has not yet been promoted. &1t;/p>

"How is the operation of Thor Park, and how many applications have been received?" Ferdinand asked with concern&1t;/p>

Constantine thought about it and said: "At present, everything is running normally. In the more than one month of trial operation, only 281 applications have been received nationwide. After review, all of them meet the requirements!&1t;/ p>

At present, there are more than 10,000 cases of applying for help with childcare. We only charge the operating cost. We only charge 5 levs per month for childcare. If it is a long-term stay, we will charge more 2.5 Lev, these fees also include the living expenses of the children! ”&1t;/p>

Fortunately, in this era, people's hearts are simple and they have not been corrupted by money. Otherwise, it is estimated that most of the children in Bulgaria will find a way to sneak into the kindergarten! &1t;/p>

If you want to leave it in the future, it can be free anyway, so why give money? If you throw the child inside, can the nursery still starve him? &1t;/p>

There may even be many children who don’t even know who their parents are. They come to see them once when they are in a good mood. If they are in a bad mood, they simply leave it alone. When the children grow up, they will come over and use morality to oppress their children to take care of the elderly! &1t;/p>

But this is Bulgaria, and Ferdinand can be sure that this situation will never happen before he is alive! &1t;/p>

Of course, the price set by the Bulgarian government is also very conscientious. According to this charging standard, after deducting the children's eating, drinking and sleeping, it is estimated that the remaining money is probably enough to maintain the venue. &1t;/p>

This is really just the operating cost. In theory, if a nursery receives fifty children's profits, it will be enough for one employee's salary. Generally speaking, trying to cover the expenses is a fool's dream! &1t;/p>

After all, the minimum wage for ordinary workers in Bulgaria is now 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 fee is already a charity! &1t;/p>

Of course, Ferdinand still supports this move of the government. The working class has had a difficult life. Now that people have responded to his call to work hard to have children, how can he increase their burden? &1t;/p>

A child spends two or three days of their income, five or six children go down, and there is no income for a labor force! &1t;/p>

This is not because Ferdinand is not good at mathematics. The adults themselves have to wear clothes and eat. All these have to be paid for! In this way, the income of a strong laborer is not necessarily enough! &1t;/p>

If you take into account the family expenses, it is almost the limit for a couple to raise five or six children, but it doesn't matter if they have a few more children. Isn't the government rewarded? &1t;/p>

The reward for the sixth child is 8oo Lev. If it is put in a kindergarten, it will be enough for a child's living expenses for nine years. &1t;/p>

Not to mention the seventh child, 16oo Lev is enough to raise a child into an adult! &1t;/p>

No way, raising children is really cheap in this era, and the material living standard is like this. For ordinary people, other than being able to eat enough, any other pursuit is an extravagant hope! &1t;/p>

Even the clothes are passed down from generation to generation. After the parents' clothes are changed to a smaller size, they are left to the children. Brothers and sisters are ready to take over in turn! &1t;/p>

Education is also paid for by the government. If you can't be admitted to middle school after the age of fifteen or sixteen, you will either be working or farming in the society you were born in! &1t;/p>

If you are lucky enough to be able to join the army for a few years, just in time for the war, and have made military exploits, then you will earn it! &1t;/p>

Ordinary people basically don't have big expectations, which is why Ferdinand's Bulgaria is so belligerent! &1t;/p>

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. It is difficult to succeed by hard work alone. &1t;/p>

Ferdinand said without hesitation: "Very well, as a government, we should do our best to help the people solve their difficulties!&1t;/p>

If we want to increase the population, we must let the people let go of their courage to give birth to solve their worries. You have done a good job in this area! ”&1t;/p>
