Chapter 140 - Chapter 140: War is coming to an end

Radoman knew everything was over! The Serbian government is over! My political life is over!

The Austro-Hungarian Empire has exhausted patience with Serbia, and its support is also unlimited!

The Serbian government does not know yet, but now it is caused by the slow response of the Serbian government itself, and the bitter fruit can only be swallowed by itself!

Alas, Radoman, who was an old fried dough stick in politics, sent a telegram to the country explaining the specific situation, and he fell ill and was admitted to the Vienna hospital!

The Serbian negotiation delegation can only be replaced by the deputy foreign minister and continue to participate in the negotiations!

Time passed quickly, another week passed, and in November, there was no progress!

只有 There are only two options before the Serbian government:

Either agree to the conditions of the Bulgarians, sign an armistice agreement, and end the war!

Either continue to persist, and after the collapse of Belgrade, surrender to the Bulgarians!

After knowing the purpose of the Bulgarians, the senior officials of the Serbian government know that this time the trouble is big! The Prime Minister as far away as Vienna gave them a good start, so they fell ill!

后 After the defeat of the war anyway, their political life is over! Now I'm sick, I just don't need to carry the infamy of the traitor!

Others can hide, but Alexander I cannot hide! Who calls him a king?

中 In the Royal Palace of Serbia, Alexander I thought with resentment that I would come back with insults, and now I want to hide. There are no doors or windows! !!

He said coldly, "Come here, invite the ministers to discuss! If you are sick, bring it up! Anyway, you have to see someone alive, you have to see a dead body. At this afternoon 's meeting, all senior government officials must attend!"

Uh ...

At this stage of the war, there are no more suspense! When it ends, it's all a matter of time, and Bulgaria has ended the wartime economic system!

At the Royal Palace of Sofia, Ferdinand is busy counting expenses with senior government officials!

Good guy, it really is a cannon.

From the declaration of war to the present, the expenditures, large and small, have reached more than 70,24 million levs (about 28 million pounds, 2.1 tons of gold). This is just the beginning!

In the later period, there are also a series of things such as casualty pensions, commendations for meritorious personnel, and new land management. They are not a small overhead!

But now Ferdinand is not worried about this huge expenditure at all!

The Bulgarian army directly occupied two-thirds of Serbia, although most of them are mountainous, not so rich! Even so, the gains are still great!

The hands-on robbery is too low-level, and it is also easy to corrupt the military discipline and bear infamy!

Directly set up a card to collect taxes and drive up prices, it is much simpler! Anyway, in the war years, there was no price rise! The black pot is also up against the capitalists!

As for the life of the Serbs, this can't worry about Ferdinand! Anyway, now the Bulgarian army has distributed relief food to civilians, although it is only a small piece of black bread!

The next problem is that the Serbian government should have a headache!

"Did the casualties be counted?" Ferdinand asked with concern, which was his most worrying question!

Prime Minister Constantine immediately replied: "It has been initially counted. From the declaration of war to the present, in the past month, the Bulgarian army launched a total of hundreds of battles, large and small!

As of yesterday, there were more than 40,000 casualties reported by various troops!

Of these, 12,574 people have died; more than 8,000 seriously injured people are still under treatment, and many of them have been amputated and there is no possibility of returning to normal; the rest are all The lightly wounded have already started to recover and return to the army! "

After listening to the Prime Minister, Ferdinand's hanging heart finally fell down! Fortunately, the lightly wounded can be recovered, or more than 40,000 soldiers will be lost, which will cause Bulgaria's vitality to be seriously injured!

Even so, Ferdinand sighed! Hitting a Serbia and delaying it all the way, less than one month after the war between the two sides, it cost more than 20,000 people!

Then slowly said, "Let's do the care work behind us! We can't let the hero bleed and cry!"

Seeing Ferdinand's interest is not high, everyone wisely put away a smile, as if changing a person, all turned into a sympathetic expression!

Of course it doesn't matter if it's true or not, but the show must be done! Otherwise, if you do n't pay attention to the top, you still have to pay the bottom. Will the pension be paid in full?

Jeff Ferdinand is not a virgin, nor can he require others to be virgins! If the government is high-level, if anyone is the Virgin, he will definitely let him go!

I paused for a moment, and Constantine said in a sincere tone: "Please be assured, Grand Duke! Our government will definitely do a good job in the aftermath There will be no bloodshed and tears of heroes!"

Ferdinand nodded, he knows that the Bulgarian government is still very clean, coupled with the current outbreak of nationalism, which has just defeated Serbia. When everyone 's patriotic enthusiasm is rising, there should be few people who dare to pension !!

He continued to ask, "What about the Serbian losses?"

When he heard Ferdinand asking about Serbia, Constantine frowned and said, "Prince, the Serbian is finished this time, and it will be difficult to restore vitality within 20 years!

From the data collected from various places, the number of deaths determined by the Serbian army has exceeded 200,000, and the actual number will only be more!

Since the Serbs are poorly armed, basically the domestic young labors are sent to the army. In addition to more than 200,000 people who have died in battle, we have 120,000 prisoners in our hands!

Now the young population in Serbia has been reduced by at least half!

Moreover, I helped to migrate nearly 300,000 people from the South Bank. Now we have distributed relief food and exercised military control over the local area. It is not a big problem!

Once the war is over, these 300,000 people will become irregular bombs! If the Serbian government cannot make proper resettlement, the civil war will likely break out again under the intensification of contradictions! "

Jeff Ferdinand smiled, placing 300,000 people is not that easy, especially a group of old, weak and sick!

Let them continue to be farmers, do you have to plant them? Let them be workers, even more troublesome! Work hard and lack labor; technical work, they won't; and the Serbian government simply can't provide so many jobs!
