Chapter 97: , Crash Course for Military Cadres

　　 Ferdinand returned to Sofia. It was February 1893. After spending more than two months in St. Petersburg, the biggest gain was an extra fiancee and a simple marching map.
　　 returned to Sofia and saw the sketch drawn by the Janissaries, Ferdinand suddenly reacted, and a golden opportunity was missed!
　　 Fortunately, there is another chance next time. Ferdinand has already made up his mind, and the subsequent welcoming activities must be vigorous. It is best to send tens of thousands of troops together. The opportunity to understand Russia in such a fair and open manner cannot be missed.
　　 In order to draw a detailed map of the Balkans, the intelligence organization did its best. First, they stole military maps of various countries and modified them. Even so, it took only a half of two years.
　　The vastness of Russia is not to mention, it is as difficult to draw a detailed map as to climb to the sky, it is much simpler to go through the army directly, and the geographical terrain is clear at a glance.
　　 As soon as the news of Ferdinand’s engagement spread, the Bulgarian media became lively. All kinds of entertainment gossip emerge in an endless stream, and are divided into several groups of talkers, including pro-mei and horse-running theory, love at first sight, and...
　　 For this, the Press Administration also sent the telegram to St. Petersburg, asking if Ferdinand should ban such news. Considering the terrible nature of entertainment gossip, Ferdinand still approved it decisively. This kind of news definitely spreads as quickly as possible. It's better to let the newspaper write it directly, because they dare not get into the dark anyway.
　　Don’t think that
watching the excitement is not too big a problem
is our patent, in fact, foreign entertainment gossip is not too much.
　　 Thanks to Ferdinand’s good reputation, the Bulgarian people are also very concerned about his life-long events, and they are happy to see such news. Many people speculate based on their own understanding and have derived many different story versions.
　　 Later generations still have people who collected these stories and compiled a "Love Story that Grand Duke Ferdinand and Grand Duke Xenia Have to Tell". After entering the 21st century, it has been adapted into movies and TV series many times.
　　Ferdinand doesn't know about the future, but he is depressed enough by the current problems. Does the "love story" have anything to do with him? He and Princess Xenia had a fart story, even if they met before, it was his predecessor. After crossing anyway, it was the first time the two met in St. Petersburg. Love at first sight may exist, but it definitely has nothing to do with him.
　　Princess Xenia is indeed a beautiful woman. If it is a past life, Ferdinand can't ask for it. Whether he is emotional or not, it is enough to have a beautiful wife. But now, Ferdinand has become even more hypocritical about the life of aristocratic drunkenness.
　　 If possible, Ferdinand hopes to stay single forever! Think of Yingying Yanyan in the palace now, completely letting him do whatever he wants. Whether it's day-to-day prostitution or being slept together, they are all Ferdinand's favorites. Now, all this depraved life must leave him, at least his behavior in the palace must be restrained.
　　Princess Xenia, as the daughter of Alexander III, such a lady of heaven, you don’t need to think about it or know that she has her own pride! Under the monogamy tradition in the West, coupled with the newly emerging feminism, it is already magnanimous to tolerate Ferdinand going out to find a lover. Dare to mess around in the palace, God knows what will happen? Anyway, Ferdinand did not want to try, at least before the fall of the Russian Empire, he had to converge.
　　 Thinking of the sexual life that is about to go away, Ferdinand decided to seize the last time and enjoy a good life. The beautiful girls are trying their best to sway and dance, their big white legs swaying in front of Ferdinand, one by one, they are constantly throwing at him...
　　 Ferdinand couldn't help it anymore, got up and rushed down, grabbed a beautiful girl with a heart, quickly stripped it, and a battle began...
　　 A happy life is always short. Countless cases have taught Ferdinand. If you don’t want to follow the footsteps of the original owner in the second half of your life, then work hard!
　　 has been away for more than two months. Although most of the government affairs are done by the cabinet, there are still many things that need to be decided by Ferdinand himself, and it is not possible to telegraph everything.
　　 At least the information submitted by the Military Commission is a top-secret file. Except for Ferdinand, even Prime Minister Constantine has no right to interrogate.
　　 Now Ferdinand summoned the Chief of Staff Petrov in the palace: "Colonel Petrov, why is the process of military reform so slow?"
Petrov said embarrassingly: "Your Excellency, we currently lack enough officers! Since the restructuring of the army, each chief officer has also been assigned two deputies. In addition, the army has nearly doubled, and our officers are in demand. Yu has increased fivefold out of thin air, greatly exceeding our reserves! Fortunately for the most basic-level company-platoon-level officers, we can promote some outstanding veterans to serve and gather most of the personnel. However, for middle-level and high-level officers, the premise is to ensure quality. Next, we really can't get so many officers!"
　　 Ferdinand nodded in satisfaction, affirming the military's pragmatic attitude. In history, the combat effectiveness of the Bulgarian army was the best in the Balkans. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is known as the "Prussia of the Balkans", and it shined in World War I and attracted the attention of the world. It has nothing to do with the military's current pragmatic attitude.
"Well, Ningquewulan, you did a good job! So have you considered sending some outstanding soldiers to military academies for short-term training to make up for the deficiencies of grassroots officers? It is also possible to send some of the officers with insufficient capabilities back to the military academy for further study Over time, to improve tactical capabilities?" Ferdinand asked suggestively
　　 Ferdinand has always pursued professional matters to be handled by professionals. There is no doubt that he has a little knowledge of the military. If the military information on Baidu is reliable, he can barely be regarded as an expert.
　　 Although this kind of temporary training mechanism for military officers has proven to be very effective in previous lives, the cultural surprises between the East and the West are great. It is difficult to say whether it will work in Bulgaria in this time and space!
Petrov pondered for a moment, and was very embarrassed to answer Ferdinand's words: "Your Excellency, I am sorry! I am afraid I cannot answer you this question. We have no experience in this area, and no one is sure how effective it will be! But I personally think that your proposal is very constructive and worth a try!"
　　 Ferdinand nodded depressed. The German Army has always been the object of learning from the Bulgarian military, and now even the officers’ methods of dealing with things are unknowingly approaching them. Whether this change is good or bad is not clear to Ferdinand. History has proved that it seems to work well, so just let it go!
　　 "Then try it out first! Let the military academy set up a special short-term training class, select a group of people to try, if the effect is good, carry out the whole army promotion, if not, cancel it!"
　　 "Yes, Your Excellency!" Petrov replied sonorously
