Vol 4 Chapter 118: The great king

With the order of Nicholas II, the whole city of St. Petersburg was under martial law, the city defense forces were ordered not to leave the camp, and the police were also concentrated in the police station.
Since the last explosion of the revolution, Nicholas II has doubted the loyalty of the Saint Petersburg defense forces, and now naturally they will not be allowed to make trouble.
Not to mention the police, people are all working with capitalist wages, otherwise how would they live with the high prices in St. Petersburg?
Many people knew that the martial law in St. Petersburg was broken. According to Russian tradition, the consequences of the tsar's surge are terrifying!
Many people are beginning to regret it. They had known that they would not join in, but now it is too late. They wanted to take away the rights from Nicholas II, but now they overturned the table and said they would not play anymore!
The weakness of the bourgeoisie does not mean that they are really weak. In the face of interests, there is nothing they dare to do! But in front of the bayonet, they are really soft! &1t;i>&1t;/i>
The combined strength of the capitalists is huge, and that's what happens when they are scattered. Without their own armed forces, even if they relied on Jin Yuan artillery to buy many government officials, no one dared to brag for them at this moment!
This is also no way. Perhaps the power of the capitalists has penetrated into every corner of St. Petersburg, but the prerequisite is that they can unite!
Now that St. Petersburg is under martial law, individual capitalists have become the flesh of the chopping board. Will Nicholas II be soft?
Obviously this is impossible! In addition to the struggle for rights, Nicholas II now needs the wealth of these people to buy people's hearts. Anyway, their reputation is already stinking, and the Russian people will cheer if they kill them!
The white terror began. After the army took over St. Petersburg, it immediately began to arrest people on the list. There is no such thing as a major prisoner in this era. Everyone who is on the list of major purges will be sent to jail together! &1t;i>&1t;/i>
The people involved are naturally indispensable. These troops are all foreigners. They can't tell who is who. Anyway, they just open the door and arrest people. Many people who love to drop by have suffered unjustified disasters!
But these are all small problems. Seeing this posture, even the newspapers that usually attack the tsarist government every day decisively chose to shut up. At this time, whoever dares to take the initiative is looking for death!
The ruffians on the streets, the underworld groups attached to the capitalists, unfortunately became the first batch of burials in this operation!
No way, who told them not to have eyesight? And the grass-roots officers and soldiers of the army, exactly hate them?
Before joining the army, many people suffered from the scourge of these people. Now that the opportunity has come, everyone has revenge! Often a litter was found when one was caught, and then he was executed directly!
By the time Nicholas II returned to St. Petersburg on December 26, the number of criminals who were directly executed by the military had already exceeded 2,000, and the number of arrested criminals was as high as 30,000. It can be said that St. Petersburg has become clean. Up! &1t;i>&1t;/i>
Of course, they were wronged, but the security in St. Petersburg has suddenly become better. Those who dare to commit crimes are just a peanut!
According to post-event statistics, after this major cleansing, the casinos and usury industries in St. Petersburg were devastated and failed to recover after decades.
With the return of Nicholas II, the martial law in St. Petersburg was lifted, but the tense atmosphere still did not get any relief.
With such a smooth accomplishment of the goal, Nicholas II was in a good mood. In order to show the czar's mercy, prices in St. Petersburg suddenly dropped and returned to the pre-war level.
At the same time, due to the large number of capitalists being arrested, the factories naturally closed down. Now that the government has taken over the factories, the benevolent Tsar also announced the implementation of the eight-hour work system, prohibiting workers from working overtime in winter. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
For a time, Nicholas II's prestige in the hearts of the people of St. Petersburg once again increased. Sure enough, this is the little father of the Russian people!
Of course, this is just to fool ordinary people who don’t know. Everyone knows that Russia’s current capacity is limited. Even if workers want to work overtime, they must have enough raw materials, right?
In this case, it was naturally used by Nicholas II to buy people's hearts! I have to say that the Russian people in this era are so foolish. Now everyone makes up for it on their own. In order to exploit them, the unscrupulous capitalists make them work overtime in the name of the Tsar!
This hurt Comrade Stalin who was working in St. Petersburg, and his previous efforts were in vain. Ordinary workers now think that they are exploited by unscrupulous capitalists and corrupt officials, and have nothing to do with the great czar. The czar is still on their side.
The evidence is right in front of us. Now the unscrupulous capitalists have been taken care of by the Czar, prices have dropped immediately, and the eight-hour work system has been implemented! &1t;i>&1t;/i>
Since the bread is already available, they will not participate in the strike and demonstration for bread. In the history of the general strike that broke out in Russia in January 1917, the workers in St. Petersburg this time announced their withdrawal without a revolutionary spirit!
Nicholas II's sudden action, in fact, Ferdinand was also taken aback. He did not expect that his elder brother would have such a decisive killing time.
I have to say that Nicholas II did a beautiful job this time! After this battle, the Russian bourgeoisie was hit hard. Although it may cause a short-term decline in the total volume of Russian industry, it is a small problem compared with consolidating the tsar’s rule.
Not only killed the biggest political opponent, but also confiscated a large amount of property, which could make up for Russia's financial shortcomings. It also bought a wave of popular support.
Of course, the prerequisite is that Nicholas II can handle the next thing. His action this time also offended many people. Now the bourgeoisie in Russia must hate him deeply. If one is not handled well, there will be big troubles! &1t;i>&1t;/i>
After all, his great purge of Russia and Ferdinand's previous great purge of Bulgaria are not a concept!
It is impossible for him to clean up the huge Russian Empire in one go. Except for St. Petersburg, the bourgeoisie in big cities like Moscow still has strong strength, and they still have a fight.
Secondly, Nicholas II's action this time was shirtless. The country is full of enemies. With so many enemies, it is destined that the future of Russia will not be peaceful!
Of course, this is what Ferdinand wants to see most. A Russia with constant internal strife is Bulgaria's most wanted ally.
If Nicholas II is really a great talent and can handle internal contradictions in Russia, then this is a monster even more terrifying than Germany!
But these are things in the future, and now Ferdinand is doing one thing, which is making movies! &1t;i>&1t;/i>
After the war broke out for so long, all European countries participating in the war have had a hard time, and Bulgaria is no exception. Although there has not yet been a strike of "request bread, no war", he has to be careful!
Of course, under normal circumstances, the Bulgarian people will not ask him for bread in the short term! Before the war broke out, the Bulgarian government called on everyone to reserve one year's food in advance to prepare for famine!
Most people responded to the government's call. The food exported by Tsarist Russia a year before the war broke out was bought out by the Bulgarian folks!
At the end of 1914, the government's statistics of private grain storage were about 18 million tons.
Besides, the Bulgarian government has adopted a rationed supply system. Everyone can buy four kilograms of bread, 1,500 grams of vegetables, 900 grams of meat products, two liters of milk, and one kilogram of potato flour every week. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
This food supply can basically meet the needs of life, but compared to the Germans, it is much higher!
Of course, this amount can also be increased, but after the purchase amount, the price will be much higher. Basically, the price will be increased by three to four times. As long as you have money, you can still live the same life as before the war. .
On the whole, the Allied Powers of World War I were not short of food. Most of the so-called food rationing system was developed during World War II!
As soon as the World War broke out, Ferdinand was preparing to implement a food rationing system throughout the country. The results after calculations by professionals showed that even if the domestic grain output is halved, and the private reserves plus government reserves, Bulgaria can still support more than three years. .
Then, Ferdinand dismissed this previous idea. After all, the Allied navy had the advantage, and Bulgaria could not be blocked off the coastline for three years! &1t;i>&1t;/i>
Moreover, no matter if you take Romania or Asia Minor, you can be self-sufficient!
If it were not for the influx of refugees after the war, which consumed a lot of food, perhaps there would still be overproduction now!
Although there is no shortage of food, Ferdinand still has to make this show for publicity.
The content of the film is very simple, it is a documentary, recording the king's day.
At six o'clock in the morning, before dawn, Ferdinand got up from his sleep, and then began morning exercises with a few princes.
At 8:10, the breakfast time starts. Since it is a show food, it is naturally very simple. A piece of black bread + a fruit salad + a glass of milk is no different from an ordinary civilian family.
Then began a day's work, of course involving confidentiality, when Ferdinand entered the office, the shooting naturally stopped. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
Then it continued at noon, but this time he took the ministers to eat black bread, added a portion of fried vegetables to breakfast, and a few slices of beef.
...
Ferdinand may not know that this propaganda film he shot has become a precious film and television material in later generations.
His food was considered by experts to be that after the outbreak of the World War, Bulgaria's food was tight, and the king had to lower his standard of living!
People also plausibly analyzed the expressions on their meals. For example, the expressions of the meal have always been natural, and the food is refined and delicious.
It proves that this is the daily life of his king. Otherwise, it would be impossible for UU reading www.uukānshu.com to eat such unpalatable food!
There are also people who believe that Bulgaria’s food supply has not been a problem after the outbreak of the World War. This is because the whole country of Bulgaria is sharing the same ups and downs. It is with such a king that has created a powerful empire! &1t;i>&1t;/i>
If Ferdinand knows these, he will definitely hehe. I eat brown bread once in a while, it tastes very good, and from the point of view of nutritional value, brown bread would have been higher!
Besides, although it appears that these foods are almost the same length, can the brown bread made in the palace be the same as the outside?
Of course these are trivial things, and now Ferdinand is still giving this bowl of soul chicken soup to the Bulgarian people for a taste.
Don't worry about widowhood and suffer from unevenness. As long as everyone sees the same food as the king, even if they are dissatisfied with the war affecting their lives, they will disappear!
In terms of publicity, Ferdinand is still very good. For example, after the outbreak of the World War, the royal family did not buy new clothes or buy any luxury goods. They are all good publicity materials.
And these are true, I am not afraid of being dismantled!
Ferdinand was prepared long before the outbreak of the World War. These miscellaneous things were already prepared. He was worried that if Bulgaria lost in the World War, he could use these materials to publicize and increase the popularity among the people. Consolidate your rule with the score in your heart!
Of course, now that the victory is basically set, there is no need to rely on these things to consolidate the rule, but now that you are ready, Ferdinand will naturally not waste it. Prestige is better!
