"The world war is over!"

As soon as this amazing news spread, it caused a sensation all over the world, with countless people celebrating it and countless people jumping to their feet with anger.

The outside world is disturbing, Ferdinand doesn't care about it, it's nothing more than a matter of interests!

Now he is busy dealing with the aftermath, the world war has been fought for two and a half years, and the number of casualties in Bulgaria, as the main belligerent country, is naturally also an astronomical number.

So far, the total casualties of the Bulgarian army are as high as 4,868,400, (casualties = number of wounded + number of killed), of which 1,275,200 are killed and 3,593,200 are wounded, (including 885,400 due to wounded) 216 native civilian casualties and 1.86 million colonial civilian casualties, which is undoubtedly a masterpiece of the Ottoman Empire.

The number of casualties in this army is only comparable to that of the Russian Empire, Austria-Hungary, and the German Empire in the world war, and the French!

According to the estimates of the Bulgarian General Staff, the casualties of various countries were as follows:

British Empire: About 1 million people were killed, about 2.1 million were wounded, and 3~40,000 civilian casualties, most of which were colonial troops, and the British army's native troops may be less than one-fifth.

French Republic: About 1.3 million killed, about 4 million wounded, and more than 600,000 civilian casualties, casualties are about the same as in history, although the proportion of colonial troops has increased, and the casualties of native troops are nearly one-third less than in history.

Russian Empire: about 2 million killed, about 5 million wounded, 260~3 million civilian casualties, and about 4.4 million captured.

Belgium: About 56,000 people were killed, about 43,000 were wounded, and 15~200,000 civilian casualties.

Japan: About 13,000 killed and about 3,000 wounded.

Portugal: about 7,000 killed and 13,000 wounded.

Italy: About 1.3 million killed, more than 2.6 million wounded, and 2 million+ civilian casualties, most of which were caused by food shortages.

German Empire: 2.1 million killed, about 4.3 million wounded, about 100,000 civilian casualties.

Austria-Hungary: about 1.25 million killed, about 3.87 million wounded, more than 800,000 civilian casualties.

In addition, the Kingdom of Montenegro, Romania, and the Ottoman Empire, which had already perished, were naturally ignored by Ferdinand, otherwise their casualties would be an astronomical number.

Of course, this figure is for the outside world to see, and the Bulgarian government will not recognize it except for a little use at the negotiating table.

Even if half of the dead are here, the Bulgarian government doesn't even have to give pensions, Ah ~ San has no human rights, and John Niu will not stand up for them.

Although mercenaries have to pay pensions, some of them have no family members, or they can't find family members, so naturally they don't have to pay money!

If your family members are not in Bulgaria, you can't find them, so you need to apply for immigration first to receive a pension!

The data that Bulgaria counted for itself were different again, and the main forces and mercenary units were counted separately, and the colonial troops were also counted.

Main forces: 92,700 killed and 328,700 wounded;

Mercenary troops: 314,500 killed and 1,368,100 wounded;

Colonial troops: 436,900 killed and 1,588,400 wounded;

(Note: Injuries can be counted twice)

The rest of the casualties were all contributed by the Indian divisions, and Ferdinand now had to pay war pensions, mainly for the main forces, mercenaries, and colonial troops.

The war is over, and the sooner this casualty pension is issued, the better, the standard has long been formulated, as long as it is implemented, the problem is the geographical location of the military merit field.

Now that the territory of Bulgaria is so large, from the perspective of national defense and security, it is best for the military nobles to be divided into borders, and in the event of a war in the future, they will be the best border guards!

Ferdinand asked with concern: "Chief of Staff, how many officers and soldiers want to be eligible for the military merit field award?" ”

Chief of Staff Kryanov thought for a moment and replied: "A total of 3,862,600 people, including 844,100 killed soldiers and 823,600 disabled soldiers who need to pay pensions.

We are not yet sure how many of the fallen have unclaimed pensions, so we have to plan them all! ”

Ferdinand nodded with satisfaction, the military merit field system is the guarantee of the combat effectiveness of the Bulgarian army, naturally it can't be sloppy, even if it's just for show, everyone must be divided, and if no one claims it, put it there, and buy bones as a daughter!

"Well, according to the old rules, let the soldiers freely choose to receive cash, or land, far away from areas with poor conditions, the land can be divided a little more, and the areas with good conditions will follow the normal procedures!" Ferdinand said again

"Yes!" Chief of Staff Krisnov replied

Ferdinand went on to ask: "Prime Minister, does the Cabinet have any requirements?" ”

Prime Minister Konstantin thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the cabinet proposes that this time the partition should be tilted as far as possible towards the Asia Minor peninsula, including Syria and Palestine, which will be the focus of our post-war operations.

But the population of these areas is too small, and there will inevitably be a large number of immigrants in the future, and now we must install some of our own people in it and strengthen our control over the place! ”

Chief of Staff Krisnov said with a smile: "Prime Minister, you have been thinking too much, there are so many soldiers who are eligible for military merit this time, and we can't settle them in our homeland alone!" ”

Konstantin was very surprised and asked: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, with the battle exploits you have counted now, how much land do we need to pay this time?" ”

You must know that this time the area of Bulgaria's mainland has doubled, and the area of new cultivated land has increased by tens of millions of hectares, and he actually said that he could not settle it!

Krisnov said proudly: "Your Excellency, this world war has been going on for more than two years, and the Bulgarian army has also experienced a hundred battles.

In Asia we swept away the Ottoman Empire, in the Balkans we took out the kingdoms of Romania and Montenegro, in Southern Europe we defeated Austria-Hungary, in the Mediterranean we defeated Italy, in Central Europe we took a third and the German Empire!

After two and a half years of crusade in the east and west, our soldiers have naturally accumulated a lot of military merits. Therefore, theoretically, the total area of land that can be exchanged at the highest level this time is about 18,648,500 hectares! ”

Not only the prime minister was suppressed, but even Ferdinand was also suppressed, which is already equivalent to the cultivated area of the Asia Minor Peninsula, or the cultivated area of two Romanians, fortunately, the income this time is large enough, otherwise he will now have to worry about the collapse of Bulgaria's military merit field system in advance!

No way, in Europe, the land reward standard must be high, otherwise people will not look down on it, now the annual income of a hectare of land in Bulgaria is almost the same as the income of a worker, of course, farming in this era must be more comfortable than work.

Therefore, the pension standard he formulated starts from two hectares, which is to let people see that fighting a war is better than working, even if it hangs up on the battlefield, the family's income will increase greatly in the future!

In the end, this astronomical figure appeared, and Ferdinand didn't think it was strange, in addition to soldiers and officers?

Theoretically, as long as the land reward accumulates to 150 hectares, you can get the title of knight, and when you reach 1000 hectares, you will be a baron, 8000 hectares will be a viscount, 50,000 hectares will be an earl, 300,000 hectares will be a marquis, and 1 million hectares will be a duke!

These are all clearly priced, as long as the military merit is reached, you will be knighted, even if you are just an ordinary soldier, you can also become a nobleman.

As a country with the military merit conferring field system as the core, it is natural that everything is on par with military merit. And the fiefdom aristocracy in Europe can be hereditary, and theoretically it will not be abolished!

And all the military nobles in Bulgaria are all solid seals, without a little moisture!

In the current situation, I am afraid that this will have to be related to many officers and soldiers in the army, who felt that their military merits were not enough and did not exchange land, but now everyone sees that the war has been fought and will be exchanged at one time!

Of course, it is not excluded that it is inherited from the parents, there are always a few people who have obtained military merits before they are idle is not too big, and they can't look down on a few hectares of land, so they keep it, and when the number is more, they will exchange it at one time!

After all, every time the place where the military merit is given is different, if it is a piece of east and west, it will be troublesome to manage! Even if you can apply for government exchange, it is troublesome enough, and you can't guarantee that your land can be connected!

Of course, if the accumulation is not enough, Ferdinand can also give the title in advance, but this is all a lord, not hereditary!

For example, if you only have enough military merit to become an earl, and then you are given a duke by the king, you can enjoy the treatment of a duke, but your descendants can still inherit only an earl!

In order to ensure that the descendants of the nobility are not raised and abolished, Ferdinand also formulated a very strict inheritance system, it is inevitable to join the army, and at the same time there are a lot of personal ability and moral cultivation assessments, and if you are not qualified, you cannot inherit the title.

Coupled with the primogeniture system in Europe, once the eldest son is abolished, just wait for the eldest grandson, don't worry, the land will not be recovered anyway, but the status of the nobility will not be given to you!

This is also the only way for Ferdinand to ensure that the Bulgarian nobility is not discredited, as long as you dare to do nonsense, then you are not a nobleman, it is not a matter caused by the nobles, and naturally you can't let the aristocratic class take the blame for you!

Anyway, it is better to let the people scold the losers than to let them scold the entire aristocratic class!

This was also the limit of what people could accept at that time, as for the abolition of the title of nobility, unless it was a crime of treason and treason, other crimes could kill his head, and he could not deprive others of their noble status.

Although Ferdinand's inheritance system is stricter, aren't the titles of the nobility all retained? Even if the son can't do it, don't you still have a grandson? Anyway, the meat is still in the pot, and no one thinks that their offspring are all waste snacks!

Ferdinand thought for a moment and said, "That's a good thing, too! Our army has performed well this time, and so many people have received awards for meritorious service.

Together with their families, who are at least tens of millions of people, it seems that we have already solved half of the problem of developing the peninsula of Asia Minor! ”

Despite the blood of the heart, these lands are all money! But Ferdinand still said very arrogantly, this is a good thing, you don't have to worry, and deliberately talk about the development of the Asia Minor Peninsula!

There is no doubt that his words will soon reach the soldiers, which is equivalent to telling them that the reward will not be less, and the great Ferdinand has affirmed your merits!

As for the tens of millions of people in the back, there is no need to care too much about this, most of them are hired family members, and I am afraid that there are not many local troops who want to relocate their families.

After all, the West is different from the East, as long as life goes on, parents still rarely go to their children, and if the parents don't come, the brothers and sisters will be even more embarrassed to come!

This is different from a few years ago, when everyone's living standard was not very good, and they needed to live better in a group.

Now, as soon as these soldiers retire and come back to get married, they will go out and set up their own doors, which is also a cultural tradition in Europe!

And these Russian mercenaries, now there is a civil war in the country, the people are not having a good time, many people are having difficulty surviving, and there is no way to go to relatives and friends.

In fact, many of him had already come to Bulgaria, and although they were only mercenary dependents, Ferdinand still did not treat them as refugees, and the government still gave them priority to resettlement, which was regarded as an emigrant.

Well, now there is only one criterion for Bulgaria to distinguish between refugees and immigrants, that is, depending on whether they need government assistance, as long as they can survive without government assistance, that is immigration, and on the contrary, it is refugees who receive relief food!

Chief of Staff Krisnov thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, can the issue of naturalization of these mercenaries be solved?" And then there are the colonial troops, most of whom are also oriented to Bulgaria, can they be given citizenship? ”

Heart to Bulgaria? Forget it, it's probably for the sake of interest, it turns out that they are a bitter haha in the country, and now they suddenly have an extra piece of land reward, can they not like it?

Most of them probably didn't think they would honor Bulgaria's military merit system before, and they didn't think it would be fulfilled at all, but now they are suddenly told that they are ready to receive land, can they not support it?

It is also inevitable to join the Bulgarian nationality, otherwise they will not be able to enjoy the tax reduction policy of the military merit field, in the face of real interests, any country and nation is virtual, only the land that is about to be handed is real!

Of course, 80 percent of them may not be able to distinguish the relationship between ethnic groups, and the Bulgarian army has never told them which ethnic group they belong to, and at most they have used the theory of the origin of the nation as a teaching material.

By this time, they must all be part of Bulgaria, isn't it said in the theory of national origin? Using the textbook as evidence, I found the officer asking for naturalization, and then conveyed it all the way.

Feidi thought for a while and said: "Yes, all soldiers who have made military merits, as long as they identify with Bulgaria and are willing to join this big family, can join, and their families can also join Bulgaria if they have no problems in ideology and morality!" ”

In the end, Ferdinand decided to treat them equally, and in any case, they were already trapped with Bulgaria in terms of interests, even if it was for their own interests, they had to support Bulgarian rule.

As for national culture, those who can claim Bulgaria with the theory of national origins will not be fanatical nationalists, a group of illiterate people who can't read a single word, and don't expect them to have much culture!

Maybe now they can read and write, and the army still teaches simple Bulgarian script, but it has nothing to do with their national culture, right?

To assimilate this part of the population, it is no longer a problem, the main thing is that the Ottoman Empire has helped a lot, without their Tututu, these people would not have identified with Bulgaria so quickly!

Konstantin wanted to stop talking, it is conceivable that as soon as this military merit award was completed, Bulgaria would become the world of military merit aristocrats, which was the trend of the times and could not be stopped by anyone.

Again, against this background, the martial divide in Bulgaria will reach its peak, which will not change for decades to come.

As the boss of the civil service, he naturally didn't want this to happen, but Konstantin didn't have the idea of using his mantis arm as a car, after all, he was also one of the beneficiaries.

Even if there is trouble, it is the trouble of the latecomers, and the deterrent power of his "iron-blooded prime minister" is still very strong, at least his current government can suppress these arrogant soldiers.

How could Ferdinand not take these questions into account?

But the military aristocracy was a loyal supporter of him, the king, and the growth of this class was just right to check and balance the civilian clique, and at the same time to suppress the rising bourgeoisie!

Compared with maintaining his own rule, the rights of the civil service were squeezed, and Ferdinand was too lazy to care!
