"The troops are already in action!"

"The troops have surrounded the Grand Duke's palace!"

"The troops have taken over the council!"

……

The news was sent to the Russian embassy in Bulgaria, and the Russian ambassador was very nervous and excited with the beads on the cross bracelet in his hand.

"What's the reaction of those liberals?" The Russian ambassador was urging information in this regard one after another.

"No other army has reacted except for the Guards." The Russian personnel who were in contact with the front gave an answer.

"I mean the Democrats!" The Russian ambassador shouted angrily.

"They don't have an army in their hands." The embassy staff replied suspiciously.

The Russian ambassador glared at his subordinates, the monarchies of this era had absolute superiority in Europe, but each country had its own republicans. The Bulgarian Grand Duke Alexander I, who Russia was trying to overthrow, also abolished the constitution for a time, and the de facto monarchy was a dictatorship. However, Alexander I, the softbone, only worked for three years before he made peace with the Democratic-Republicans and agreed with the constitution that he had abolished. This is also one of the important reasons why Russia is really determined to overthrow Archduke Alexander I.

"I'll tell you again, these Democratic-Republicans are like cockroaches, they can't be killed no matter how they fight, and no matter how much they guard against it, they can get their chance. Now that these people have formed an alliance with Alexander, it is not the Bulgarian militias that need to be guarded against the most, but these people! The Russian ambassador glared at his subordinates, emphasizing his views on the real enemy.

"The parliament has been occupied, and they can't make a fuss...... "someone tried to calm the overly agitated Russian ambassador. In this time of chaos, Russians are not allowed to carry out public activities with a sign on their heads: "I am a Russian diplomat." If the ambassador is still so stubborn, everyone will probably be sent to gather intelligence.

"It's the scum of the council! You go and contact the Bulgarian army, and you must keep a close eye on these people, and if anything happens, you must act mercilessly! "The ambassador didn't have to go out himself, so the order was given very decisively.

Despite the reluctance of the staff of the Russian embassy, someone was forced to liaise with the Bulgarian coup forces. And the Bulgarian deputy chief of staff listened to this request and only looked at the Russian embassy staff with disgust. He wanted to be angry, but Russia was his reinforcement after all. Glaring at the staff, the deputy chief of staff uttered a phrase almost through his nose, "Got it!" ”

Sent away the Russians, the deputy chief of staff went to meet with the Grand Duke Alexander I of Bulgaria. The Grand Duke had a beautiful beard, but the beard was trembling slightly. Seeing the deputy chief of staff of the coup chief, this beard trembled even more.

"Gentlemen, you are rebelling." The Grand Duke's voice was also trembling, and he didn't know which of the two emotions was more important, fear or atmosphere.

The deputy chief of staff sneered and said, "Your Excellency, you have been deposed. All the past proves that you are not fit to be the Grand Duke of Bulgaria. Of course, the safety of your life can be guaranteed. As long as you go back to Hesse, everything will be fine. ”

"You guys are doing it illegally! You guys are doing it illegally! "Alexander I expressed his opinion in poor language.

The deputy chief of staff did not want to waste his words, he did not come to blackmail Alexander I, but to get rid of him. Whether it is illegal or not is not at all within the consideration of the deputy chief of staff. And the most important thing at this time is to get rid of Alexander I as soon as possible, if this man remains in Bulgaria, things may not change later.

With a wave of his hand, the deputy chief of staff simply did not bother to say anything more to Alexander I. Several stout soldiers surrounded Alexander I. By this time Alexander I's guard had been completely disposed of, and surrounded in this way, the Grand Duke finally stood up tremblingly and walked out of the door. When passing by the deputy chief of staff, the Grand Duke's throat squirmed, and just when everyone thought that the Grand Duke was about to say something about the parting scene, they saw the Grand Duke spit on the face of the Deputy Chief of Staff.

The deputy chief of staff was furious, and a crisp slap was slapped in the face of the Grand Duke. The crowd around them froze. The Grand Duke, who was overthrown by a coup d'état, was a loser, but he was a master after all. No matter how good the deputy chief of staff is at this time, he is only a person from a Bulgarian family. The people slapped the Grand Duke, and many soldiers felt that the condescension and humility in their hearts were shaken.

Looking at the stunned expressions of his subordinates, the deputy chief of staff was a little flustered. Bulgaria was ruled by the Ottomans for hundreds of years, and the so-called nobility was either Ottoman or foreigner.

Like this Alexander I, he was the second son of his father, Alexander the Grand Duke of Hesse, and his mother, the Countess of Poland (later Countess of Battenberg), Julia 61 Theresa 61 von 61 Hauk. In 1858, at the age of one, Alexander was made Prince of Battenberg. As a young man, Alexander served in the Prussian army, and in 1877 he began to serve in the Russian army, during the 10th Russo-Turkish War, in which he took part.

After the war, Bulgaria remained under Turkish rule and was divided into three parts: the Principality of Bulgaria in the north, Eastern Rumelia and Macedonia in the south. On the recommendation of the First National Assembly of Bulgaria, created by the Berlin Conference, he was appointed the first Grand Duke in April 1879, as Alexander I.

If the Bulgarian locals do not have these two relationships, they are ordinary people. The flat-headed people slapped the noble noble lord, which is a big deal. Not only were the people around him shocked, but the deputy chief of staff also felt a little panicked in his heart. However, after all, the chief of staff has been in the army for a long time, and the fierceness of a soldier is also there. Now that he has done it, he has no intention of stopping. Fei Fei kicked the Grand Duke in the stomach, and the Grand Duke was immediately kicked out, holding his stomach on the ground and began to twitch.

Viciously spat at the Grand Duke, and the deputy chief of staff shouted angrily: "What are you? It's just a man elected by the council. As long as the council is around, you can elect as many people like you want! ”

After scolding, the chief of staff shouted to the guards: "Don't take this bastard away yet!" ”

The coup d'état as a whole went smoothly, and a large part of the reason why it went so smoothly was that the army, which was more supportive of the Grand Duke, was at war with Serbia at this time. After Bulgaria was divided into three parts, there were more people in Eastern Rumilia in the south who identified with Bulgaria, so East Rumilia rebelled again, and after ousting the local governor appointed by the Ottoman Empire, he demanded to merge with Bulgaria.

At the behest of Austria-Hungary, Serbia jumped out and demanded that Bulgaria pay "Serbia's loss fee". Without saying a word, Bulgaria sent troops into Serbia and was besieging the Serbian capital, Belgrad. In this era, no matter how big or small the country is, each country has its own "big XX doctrine". The British Empire simply put the word "big" in the name of the country. Great Russianism in Russia, Great Germanism in Germany, or rather, Great Germanism, "Great" Frenchism in France. The Great Ottoman or Great Turkism of the Ottoman Empire. Under the influence of these, Great Romanianism, Great Bulgarianism, Great Serbianism. These things are coming out one after another.

Perhaps the only countries that can survive in this world are the United States, a country of immigrants, and China, which has a deep history and is really big enough. Of course, the United States was still in a period of expansion at this time, with a vast western and far western regions. China is relatively cultured, so China knows that anything that claims to be "big" is definitely a small country. In China, it is explained in this way since ancient times.

In fact, everything is the same, and everyone thinks that "the place where Lao Tzu has been is Lao Tzu!" ”

With Alexander I under house arrest in a castle on the border, the deputy chief of staff quickly ousted the chief of staff and took the position of the head of the Bulgarian army. In order to be able to sit in his position longer, the former deputy chief of staff asked the army to bring the members of parliament from their homes to Parliament and ask for parliamentary authorization to appoint him as chief of staff.

The parliament is full of locally elected leaders, and there are more liberals among these people. For the deputy chief of staff to exile the Grand Duke elected by the parliament, for the deputy chief of staff to override the parliament and suppress the parliament with the force of the army. There are some hard bones among these people.

"We categorically disagree with such an approach!" Some lawmakers stepped forward and made a statement.

Someone took the lead, and those behind were a lot braver. A quarter of MPs have publicly objected, while a quarter of MPs have been silent and have voiced their opposition.

The deputy chief of staff did not press too much, he just blocked the parliamentarians in parliament and prevented them from coming out.

Three days later, the councillors heard a loud movement outside in the councillor's dormitory, leaned against the window and looked out, and all the councillors were dumbfounded. But I saw that the army blocking the council was handing over the defense with another army. The gray military uniform, the strong figure. The object of the handover of defense turned out to be the Germans.

With the exception of pro-Russian parliamentarians, the rest of the parliamentarians have changed their faces. Some of the older councillors were turning a little green at this time. It doesn't take long, 40 years ago, Russia had a well-known title, the "European Gendarme"!

At that time, revolutions were breaking out in all European countries, and it was these tsars' gray cattle who were responsible for suppressing them. The European monarchies paid for it, and Russia's millions of troops carried out a bloody suppression of hundreds of thousands of revolutionaries in European countries. At that time, many members of parliament of various countries died under the bayonets and spears of the Russians. Now it is the turn of the Bulgarian parliamentarians to face these descendants of the "European gendarmes" in gray military uniforms. How could they not be afraid!

Three days later, the Bulgarian parliamentarians almost unanimously approved a series of personnel arrangements.

Before they passed unanimously, the gang was organized to visit an execution. A legislature who had been beaten all over his body and had crooked eyes was sent to the gallows for treason.

After the rope was put around his neck, the councillor shouted in Bulgarian to the other councillors: "Life is precious, love is more valuable, if it is for freedom, both can be thrown!" ”

Then, the soldier in the gray uniform kicked over the chair, and the councillor hung on the rope and began to jerk.

Some literate parliamentarians know that this is a poem by the Hungarian poet Pedolfi. In 1849, Pedolfi was stabbed to death with a spear by the Cossack cavalry of the "European gendarmerie" during the last tragic battle of the Hungarian rebels.
