Chapter 119: , The rebellion was put down? ?

　　 Discuss and discuss, in the final analysis, it is back to the original point-money!
　　 You need money for army expansion, money for weapons and equipment, and even more for war! But the Serbian government is short of money now!
　　 Alexander I asked distressedly: "How much war money do we need?"
The Chancellor of Finance thought for a while, and calculated it skillfully: "According to an army expansion of 200,000, the purchase of weapons and equipment alone costs at least 30 million dinars. (Note: Serbian currency dinars are equivalent to leves, which is about gold. 2.9 grams, 2.5 dinars ≈ 1 pound) In fact, there may be more;
　　 The monthly military expenditure will never be less than 7 million dinars. If war starts, this expenditure may increase several times! The specific funding depends on when Bulgaria can be defeated. "
　　 In the face of the Minister of Finance’s dumping, the Minister of War resolutely chose to ignore him, not to watch him clamoring for war. In fact, the Serbian military is not ready at all!
　　 The so-called 300,000 army is still a figure on paper, and Serbia’s army now has only 110,000.
　　Who knows when the security team will attack? What if the war breaks out early? Bulgaria is not a fool. You have to wait for Serbia to be ready before launching an attack!
　　 Whether it can win or not is unknown, how much it will cost, this can only be known by God! Anyway, he knows the situation of the Serbian army. According to the most optimistic estimate, he can fight once the expansion is completed!
　　Looking at the silent people, Alexander I's face was blue. After all, he had just been in charge of the government and his prestige hadn't been established. These ministers still didn't give him face. Just like the current situation, he can only write it down and settle the account!
　　 glared at everyone, and continued to ask: "What is the military plan? How long will it take to win the war?"
Seeing that he could not escape, the Minister of War bit his head and said: "Your Majesty, the war has not yet begun! We are not Gods, how do we know how long it will take? Bulgaria has not yet mobilized, maybe another ten or eight years. , They started the war!
　　 Of course, this is just a metaphor. Bulgaria is already preparing for the war. It is expected that the war will break out in the next two to three months! "
　　 The Prime Minister took a deep breath. He regretted his greed for power and didn't retreat sooner. Tens of millions of dinars will be gone before the war begins. If a war breaks out, I am afraid that there will be no one or two billion, and it will be impossible to fight!
　　 You must know that in the last Serbian War, Serbia’s military expenditure was only 60 to 70 million dinars. The main reason was that the defeat was too fast and the duration of the war was too short to make a national mobilization!
　　 asked: "So to ensure safety, we have to prepare 200 million dinars?"
　　 The Minister of War definitely said: "Yes!"
　　 The Prime Minister did not buy it, and said in a very firm tone: "You know this is impossible! Everyone knows what the government's finances are like. If it is 10 or 20 million, you can barely get it together!
　　200 million dinars, this is our five-year fiscal revenue! It is not something we can take out if we want, your military must find a way to keep the military expenditure down! "
　　The Minister of War thought for a while and said: "I also know that the government is in financial difficulties, but you all know that our army is not as powerful as Bulgaria, and it is difficult to win without superior forces!
　　 Therefore, the number of troops cannot be reduced, and the daily training cannot be reduced. We have already lowered the standard of weapons and equipment. The only way is to shorten the war time. Now we can only speed up the mobilization and start the war before the Bulgarian mobilization! "
　　 The words of the Minister of War were not heard by anyone except King Alexander I. This is not a strategy at all, it is hoped that Bulgaria will be stupid!
　　 The Prime Minister sighed and said fiercely: "One hundred million dinars! This is the highest limit. We can't get it if we exceed this number!"
　　 The Minister of War was surprised, this price reduction is too harsh! Directly halved, and said angrily: "No! Without sufficient military spending, what shall we fight for?"
　　 The Prime Minister said coldly: "Just fill it with human lives! From now on, the government will stop all expenditures, and all funds will be invested in the war. This is our best effort! If it fails to win, then the government will declare bankruptcy!
　　 In addition, the nationwide mobilization will be carried out immediately. All young people over the age of fifteen and under sixty will be recruited to join the army, and 200,000 will be selected to join the regular army, and everyone else will serve as reserve! "
　　 Alexander I can't sit still anymore. This is desperate. Think about it once the war fails, his throne must be achieved! His father, King Milan, is the best example!
　　 said hesitantly: "Prime Minister, do we have to think about it and use diplomatic means! Whether we win or lose in this battle, we will be greatly injured!"
　　 The Prime Minister explained: "Your Majesty, we will fight for it, but we cannot relax our preparations. Only when the Bulgarians see our determination, they will return to the negotiating table!"
　　 Everyone sighed in relief, UU reading www.uukanshu.com turned out to be just a deterrent! Jiang was still hot, they didn't dare to think about it. What would happen if they really did it? Do you know that the domestic rebellion has not been put down?
　　……
　　 Serbia began the craziest mobilization, and the whole country was jumping up and down. There were long queues at recruitment points.
　　 Fortunately, this is the Balkan region, and the people are used to war! The folks also have the habit of hiding guns. Father, son and brothers bring their own equipment and join the army at the same time to join the sacred mission of defending the home and the country!
　　 The suppressed rebels were the first to suffer. The government army began to attack in spite of casualties, and artillery shells vented to their positions without money!
　　 The usual drilling of the ravine is no longer feasible. The government army was fierce and directly fired and burned the mountain. Under the circumstances, the rebels that were rampant were beaten and fled in all directions!
　　 The rebels were suppressed, but the Minister of War could not laugh. The loss was too heavy! Within a week, 6,000 soldiers were killed in action and more than 20,000 were injured, most of which were minor injuries, and they can recover! Despite the brilliant results, killing more than 30,000 rebels, he still couldn't be happy. This was a civil war!
　　 Before the war with Bulgaria started, more than 10,000 people have been forced out of the battle! Veterans with combat experience are not comparable to recruits who have just joined the army!
　　The civil strife was suppressed, and Alexander I was deeply relieved. After two years of civil war, Serbia lost at least 200,000 people and spent 50 million dinars. The economic loss is even more incalculable!
　　 But Alexander didn’t know. Although the government army suffered a lot of casualties, the military chose to conceal the loss in order to report the good and not the worry!
　　Because of being attracted by Bulgaria, everyone intentionally or unintentionally ignored the leaders of the rebels, which left hidden dangers for the future!
