Chapter 77: , Army expansion-assassination

　　As soon as Bulgaria announced the expansion of its army, the conscription area was full of people, and even the streets were lined up with neatly registered teams, and the people enthusiastically joined the army.
　　 Well, the above are all official Bulgarian propaganda. The conscription office was indeed full of people, and the line was indeed lined up on the street. As for whether the people are actively joining the army, it is hard to say. Because Bulgaria adopts a compulsory military service system, this is the case every time you recruit.
　　Bulgaria’s finances are not so prosperous either. Although it has grown a lot compared to before, its fiscal revenue in 1891 was as high as 130 million lev, but there is a gold-swallowing beast in the "second five-year plan", and there is still no surplus.
　　 So although 60,000 soldiers were recruited this time, the budget for weapons and equipment is not much. Ferdinand planned to wait for the military reforms, and then change the equipment on a large scale, and the eliminated weapons will be used by the recruits.
　　 Since the fall of Stam’s cabinet, in order to maintain stability, Ferdinand has not made major moves against the army.
　　 is only using the Guards to cultivate cronies and quietly reserve talents, and at most use the exchanges between soldiers to influence the army imperceptibly.
　　Since the army has almost doubled at once, the large-scale personnel transfer is of course reasonable.
　　 Then many people in the Bulgarian Army were promoted, and the original small group was suddenly torn down.
　　 Even if someone wants to object, they can't stop their subordinates from being promoted! It turned out that there were so many positions in the army, and the promotion would naturally have to go out. Ferdinand's long-trained cronies also took the opportunity to get in.
This is just the beginning. Ferdinand, who is familiar with the importance of "guns," after completing the adjustment of the middle and lower-level officers, he took another round of salary draws and established the Bulgarian Military Commission to be responsible for army building and foreign wars, and the high-level officers were here. Collective promotion.
　　 Ferdinand made a combination of punches. The high-ranking officers of the army suddenly left the front line, and the status of everyone was raised nominally. They only need to be accountable to the king and become a parallel organization with the cabinet.
　　 Sava-Mutkurov has been in a bad mood recently. He was hesitant when facing Ferdinand’s wooing and did not stand in the team for the first time. Although he chose to support Ferdinand in the end, but who knows that the Stam government finished so fast, his did not play a big role.
　　 After the establishment of the new government, Sava-Mutkurov was reused in order to stabilize, and he was finally promoted to minister of war.
　　 But Sava-Mutkurov's political thinking is not so sensitive, and he did a stupid thing not long ago, "opposing military reform"!
　　 Then there is no more. The military committee formed by Ferdinand and the minister of war have a lot of overlap. More importantly, Sava Mutkurov is now only an ordinary member of the military committee, and is not the chairman.
　　 In hindsight, Sava Mutkurov also knew that he had been emptied. The members of the military committee were all bigwigs of the Bulgarian military. Now everyone has the same authority. Who will listen to him?
　　In this reform, many people like Sava Mutkurov are frustrated, but they can't do anything except vent themselves!
　　 As for the coup, their influence in the military has been weakened to its lowest point. In this personnel transfer, almost all officers above the company level were swapped. Besides, Ferdinand didn't kill him all, isn't everyone "promoted"?
　　 Someone is frustrated and others are proud, and Stefan Toshev is very proud now. As Ferdinand expanded the butterfly effect of the Guards, and then joined in, with his extraordinary ability, he was promoted to head of the regiment a year ago, and now it is catching up with the good time, a new edition of Dengtian became Bulgarian. Commander of the Eighth Division of the Army.
　　 There are many other cases. After the reform of the military system of Ferdinand, in addition to the main position, two deputies were also assigned as reserve officers. It has caught up with the army expansion, and the demand for officers has been several times higher than before. Under this background, if you can't get promoted, there is indeed a problem.
　　Of course, Ferdinand does not have the energy to pay attention to these little things now. An important historical event has broken out-the assassination of Crown Prince Nicholas in Japan!
　　 originally thought that Nicholas was delayed for a short time in Bulgaria, and his trip to Japan was postponed, the assassination would not happen, and Ferdinand did not pay attention.
　　 I never thought that Nicholas II went to Japan more than a month later than in history, but this hapless child still did not escape the knife.
　　 It can only be said that Little Japan’s ability to kill is really leveraged. The assassination of the Russian crown prince was unsuccessful. Otherwise, he would immediately go to war with Russia!
　　 The Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 has not erupted, and it has not yet received compensation from the Big Apple to make a big development. In this era, Japan is still poor and faced with the bears of its heyday. Think about it and you will know the end.
　　 Regardless of Ferdinand’s yy, the news all over the world is fried anyway. Political assassinations have always been a taboo. The Japanese dare to assassinate the Russian crown prince, regardless of whether they have anything to do with the government.
　　Isn't Bulgaria an ally with Russia? Of course, Ferdinand, who didn't have a cold with Japan in his previous life, will be in trouble.
　　 Decisively signaled the domestic media to wave the flag and shout, not only instructed Vhu to guide Russian domestic public opinion, but also came up with a theory that not beating Japan is a traitor.
　　 Anyway, I don’t wink at this moment. It is politically correct to avenge Crown Prince Nicholas. Everyone is scolding the Japanese, and it’s not a problem that I scold a bit harshly!
　　 This is not over yet. Ferdinand pretended to send a telegram to express his concern. By the way, he also asked: When do I want to beat the Japanese, do I need help?
　　 Obviously, Ferdinand is looking for excitement. Could Russia now go to war with Japan? If the reigning person is not Alexander III, that really can't be said! It is now clear that Alexander III has no plans to go to war, otherwise Russia should make preparations.
　　 is far away in Japan, Crown Prince Nicholas, and now he is really angry, he just went out to travel around, which country is not a good treat, but when he arrives in Japan, assassins pop up!
　　 Now send a few officials over to apologize, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is this over? It’s great to think, anyway, the assassins in the crowd are because your security work has not been done well, and you must be responsible. Even if you apologize, the emperor will come over!
　　 After checking his injuries from the hospital, Nicholas didn't care about any diplomatic etiquette, and went straight back to the house, ignoring the Japanese feelings now.
　　 Crown Prince Nicholas, who had just left Japan, received a telegram from Ferdinand and the suppressed anger came up again. He tore up the telegram and cursed secretly: You think I don't want to go to war, I want to beat him now, but I don't count!
　　 After a while, the British began to mediate, and Ferdinand felt that it seemed too cheap to let Japan pass. With an idea, he thought about it and paid attention, and immediately sent another telegram to Crown Prince Nicholas.
　　 Nicola's mood is much better this time, and Ferdinand's idea is much more reliable this time. That's right, it is to find the Japanese government to lose money!
　　 It’s not too much to ask for compensation for injuries. At any rate, he is also the crown prince of the Russian Empire, and he must have a compensation worthy of his status!
　　 This makes sense everywhere. Even if the Japanese government has reached an agreement with Russia under the mediation of the British, it cannot deny Nicholas' right to claim compensation.
　　 This time the Japanese were very refreshed and publicly expressed their willingness to compensate in the newspaper.
　　 Ferdinand said, "Hehe", what is the compensation worthy of status?
　　 Ferdinand’s suggestion is 100 million pounds. No matter how much the Japanese can give, at least this figure makes Nicolas very happy!
　　Ferdinand’s flattery is good, and it also means that the Japanese government is in trouble, because no matter how much they give later, it will not satisfy Nicolas. It is impossible to pay 100 million pounds!
