Chapter 123: Bite the bullet Serbia

　　 Bulgaria’s ultimatum completely dispels Serbia’s illusions, and war is coming!
　　 Alexander I panicked, the war came too suddenly! Since September, the conflict between Bulgaria and Serbia began to intensify, and it has only been a short month since Serbia has no time to prepare!
　　 "Prime Minister, how are our preparations going?" Alexander I asked anxiously
　　 I saw Prime Minister Radoman Bović with a wry smile and said: "Your Majesty, the time is too short, we have no time to prepare!
　　 So far, the nationwide mobilization has barely been completed. A total of more than 500,000 young and strong people have been mobilized, and they are still spread across the country! It is too late to organize and train, and the selection of qualified soldiers has just begun, and it will take at least half a month to complete!
　　 The material reserve is even worse. Due to lack of funds, our procurement work is not going well, and the gap is huge! "
　　The Minister of War added: "Because we lack weapons and equipment, most of the existing weapons are collected from the private sector, and many people bring their own weapons for service!
　　 Weapons and equipment are a mess. Up to now, our guns and ammunition statistics have not yet been completed!
　　The types of guns are even more diverse. Basically, we have all kinds of guns in the world, and the number of all kinds of guns is unknown!
　　 This all takes time, at least in the next half month, the mobilized army will not have any combat effectiveness! It takes at least two to three months of short-term training to initially form combat effectiveness! "
　　 Fortunately, everyone's military level is amateur, otherwise you will find that the actual situation is much worse than stated! The wide variety of weapons and equipment also means different calibers, which is very difficult for replenishment! Maybe a lot of people went to the battlefield with guns, but couldn't find any bullets they could fire!
After hearing the Prime Minister’s words, Alexander I angrily questioned: "What’s the matter with the Chancellor of the Exchequer? Why are the funds still not in place? Do we still have to fight? Don’t forget that Serbia’s life and death is now the moment of life and death. ?"
　　 The Chancellor of Finance looked like he was conscientious, and he tried his best to raise funds this time, but he was still dissatisfied with the army's gold swallowing cave! Now facing the question of Alexander I, he went back without guilty:
　　"Your Majesty, please respect yourself! Our Ministry of Finance has done our best. Don’t forget that the military just fought a counter-insurgency war. Tens of thousands of casualties and pensions are astronomical!
　　 And now the nationwide mobilization has begun again, and domestic taxes are now almost negligible; international loans and debt, bankers are not optimistic that we can win this war, so the gains are limited!
　　The funds we use now are already using the gold reserves of the issued currency, and we must not use too much, otherwise our currency may collapse at any time! "
　　 The Minister of Finance has just finished speaking, and everyone's expressions have changed drastically. In the era of the gold standard, currency reserves are used, and it will explode if it is not handled well!
Now Alexander I, ignoring the chancellor’s opposition, sighed and said: "I can’t care so much! Take it out first, and let’s talk about it after passing this level! If you win, you can say anything, and all losses can be in Bulgaria. You can make up for it; if you lose, you don’t need to care about the currency collapse!"
　　 The Minister of Finance thought about it, and that's the reason. It's easy to say that if you win the battle, someone will have to take the blame, and the cabinet can't escape. The mess is left to the next one!
　　 said helplessly: "Okay! But we don't have much gold reserves, you should save a little bit! If the war is not over, it will be spent, and our Ministry of Finance has no dinar!"
　　 The Minister of War happily said: "Don't worry, if you get to that point, I won't want you even if you have a dinar, it's not much different from a blank paper!"
　　 Alexander I glared at the Minister of War, and then asked: "Prime Minister, what is the attitude of the Austro-Hungarian Empire now? Will it be on our side? It’s really not possible. It’s okay to buy us some time!"
　　 Prime Minister Radoman Bović said embarrassingly: "The Austro-Hungarian Empire has made it clear that they will stand on our side. But they worry that if they directly intervene, the Russian Empire will also intervene, and the situation will be more troublesome at that time!
　　 So they reached an agreement with the Russian Empire, and now they will not directly interfere in this war! In this war, we can only rely on ourselves! "
　　 Knowing the attitude of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Alexander I instantly felt betrayed! Are the two parties or allies? I helped out nine years ago, but now I'm doing a side view!
　　 said angrily: "Fine, let it go, just as if we don’t have that alliance and friendship! Now it’s up to us, the Minister of War, you must fight for Serbia this time, otherwise~~~"

　　Niš is the largest city in southern Serbia, located on the banks of the Nisava River, a tributary of the South Morava River. Now this noisy city in the past is now in depression!
　　 The aborigines of Djokovic Niš are now more than sixty years old, and they are considered to have lived long in the 19th century.
　　 It may be unbelievable to say that he is not an ordinary person, he participated in the war against the Ottomans when he was young. Later, he founded a textile factory in Niš, and has more than a hundred workers, a proper capitalist, but now his life is not easy!
　　 After the economic crisis broke out, it was dumped by international capitalists. Djokovic’s textile factory never made a profit and was forced to close its doors!
　　 sold the factory, UU reading www. uukanshu.com also left a sum of money for retirement. But the Paul-Serbia war was about to start, and the dinar began to depreciate wildly!
　　 The government used the reserve of gold, which could not hide it from the shrewd capitalists. It decisively chose to sell the dinar, and then the dinar began to depreciate wildly.
The elderly Djokovic took a step slower to react. When he reacted, the dinar had changed from the original: 1 dinar = 0.29 grams of gold to the current 1 dinar = 0.01 Grams of gold.
　　In an instant, assets shrank dozens of times, and years of savings were ruined!
"Pantridge, the price of flour has gone up again? No matter, you can't be the master again. This must be ordered by the old man Crazy. Quickly bring me a ton of flour and load it to my house!" Djokovic Vicky said with a headache
　　 "Mr. Djokovic, want so much?" the salesperson Pantrich asked in surprise
　　 "The war is about to begin, how can we not hoard some food?" Djokovic said calmly
　　 "Mr. Djokovic, the government has announced that prices will be flattened, and the market will soon return to normal. It is not worth buying so much now!" Pantridge
　　 "Stupid boy, Niš will be the front line at the beginning of the war, who can take care of this!" Djokovic gave him a look, and left without looking back.
　　 Nish is too close to the front line. The last time the Serbian War was fought, it is estimated that it will not be much better now!
　　 Back home, Djokovic did not hesitate. After purchasing the necessities of life, he began to move. He planned to go to his home in the mountains to avoid disaster!
　　Djokovic is not an isolated case. The wealthy people on the Serbian border have all begun to move to avoid disaster. Obviously they are not optimistic about this war!
