Chapter 33: Rebellion
In the palace of Sofia, Ferdinand is leisurely drinking tea, tea has become his living habit, quite a bit of "the country can not be without a king for a day, the king can not be without tea for a day" charm.
At this time, a maid of about sixteen or seventeen years old walked over, with a round goose egg face, black eyes, and a youthful and lively atmosphere all over her body.
"Grand Duke, Mr. Fuhu is here!"
"Oh, Alice bring him here!" Ferdinand said lazily
Alice playfully said, "Yes, Grand Duke! ”
Those who are familiar with Ferdinand know that he is very easy-going in ordinary life and has no shelves.
He can even joke and chat with the maid on an equal footing, and the young Alice is not afraid of him at all.
In an instant, Forhu was in front of Ferdinand.
Fu Huqiang said calmly: "Your Excellency, the fruit is ripe!" ”
It could be seen that he was very excited now, and although he had tried hard to pretend to be calm, the change between his eyebrows still betrayed him.
Ferdinand said happily: "Good! Mr. Forhu, you've done a good job this time, and you're ready to move on to the next step! ”
"Yes, Your Excellency! We're negotiating a price with our hires right now! Fuhu said cautiously
Ferdinand's eyebrows changed slightly, then he stretched out again, and said with a smile: "Then you go and get busy, I'll wait for your good news!" ”
The situation in Bulgaria was already dangerous, and at this point Ferdinand had to be careful.
I was afraid that I was negligent for a while, and the news leaked out, so that the Stam cabinet was aware of it, and all the credit was lost.
From Fohu's briefing, Ferdinand knew that the previous plan had been completed, and the Stam government was about to be finished.
However, the co-optation of the army has only been partially completed, and it is normal to think about it, the news of the massacre has not yet spread, and now the military is not in a hurry to stand in line.
Presumably, as soon as the news spreads, unless it is a die-hard loyalist, everyone else will make the right choice. After all, few people wanted to be buried with the Stam cabinet government, and they had to stand on the opposite side of the Bulgarian people.
In fact, the Stamm government did not have a very tight grip on the military, and most of the middle and lower rank officers and rank-and-file soldiers were not interested in them.
This created an opportunity for Ferdinand to talk about ideals with junior officers and treatment with ordinary soldiers, both of which were established routines, and often invincible.
The army has its own system, which is difficult for outsiders to access. But this is not a problem, Ferdinand still has the Guard, and he is rightfully under his control.
After nearly two years of brainwashing, now the army is all Ferdinand's diehards, and the diehards have long been retired. They were Ferdinand's weapons to win over the military.
The Guards were always well paid, and in times of financial hardship, Ferdinand paid them himself, so the morale of the officers and men was always high. Often inadvertently, he made propaganda for Ferdinand, increasing his prestige in the army.
Since Ferdinand's accession to the throne, the Guards were the envy of ordinary Bulgarian soldiers. Although the military salaries are the same, the food standard is a grade higher, and Ferdinand also promised to retire and resettle.
Someone who had been injured in training and was forced to retire was placed in the factory by Ferdinand. Enjoying the preferential treatment of retired soldiers, with the same salary as ordinary workers, they only need to work eight hours a day, and they will be paid overtime if they exceed it.
It is really enviable, in fact, Ferdinand also submitted a draft of the "preferential treatment of veterans" to the parliament, and was ridiculed by the Stam cabinet.
Naturally, the Congress, which represented the interests of the bourgeoisie, vetoed it without hesitation. It doesn't matter if the high-ranking officers arrive, anyway, their salaries are high enough, and ordinary soldiers have long scolded the Congress to the blood.
Now Fohu's target is the commander of the Sofia garrison, Sava Mutkurov, and as long as he is leveled, then there is no doubt about the fall of the Stam cabinet.
Sava Mutkurov, who had just suppressed a riot, is now busy thinking about the aftermath. An uninvited guest walked in and did it in front of him, and it was none other than Fuhu.
In order to solve the last hidden danger, Fuhu decided to go out himself. If Sava Mutkurov chooses to refuse, Forhu will have to send him to God.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Sava Mutkurov's prestige in the army was not low, killing him would have made the military miserable, and Forhu would have solved him a long time ago.
Sava Mutkurov looked at Furhu and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?" How did you get in? ”
Without waiting for Fuhu to answer, he shouted out the door again: "Guard! Guardsman! Get this rude fuck out of here! ”
Fuhu smiled and said, "Mr. Savoy, please calm down, since I can come in and sit, of course everything is done!" ”
"Who are you?" Sava Mutkurov forcibly suppressed his anger
Still smiling, Fuhu said, "Let me introduce myself first, in the lower Fuhu." By order of Archduke Ferdinand, I have come to visit His Excellency Savoy! ”
"What? The Grand Duke's order? You are lying, Your Excellency the Grand Duke wants to find me, won't you send someone to call me to the palace directly, and you still need to hide your head and show your tail! Sava Mutkurov said with a sneer
Ignoring his rudeness, Fuhu asked, "Then does Your Excellency Savoy think that apart from His Excellency the Grand Duke, who else in Bulgaria can make the soldiers outside disobey Your Excellency's orders?" ”
Sava Mutkurov thought about it, and it was true, he was the spokesman of the Liberal army, and Fuhu could not have been a Liberal person; If the opposition party had such great energy, the uprising would have succeeded long ago.
"Then Mr. Fuhu, what does the Grand Duke need me to do?" Having established the identity of Fuhu, Sava Mutkurov spoke much more politely.
Fuhu still smiled and said: "Presumably, Mr. Sava also knows about the recent actions of the cabinet, which are somewhat perverse, and the people's hearts have been lost!" ”
Sava Mutkurov retorted: "Mr. Forhu is serious, and the recent actions of the cabinet are indeed somewhat inappropriate, but not to this point!" ”
Fuhu looked at him and said solemnly: "Mr. Sava may not know that just last night a terrible event happened in Bulgaria!" ”
Sava Mutkurov smiled and said casually: "Oh, isn't it an opposition riot? I've been suppressed! ”
"No, Mr. Savoy," said Furhu, "is ten times more serious than this!" ”
Hearing this, Sava Mutkurov straightened up and asked suspiciously: "What's the matter?" ”
Fuhu said with a gloomy expression: "Last night, Your Excellency ordered the execution of the arrested opposition party, and we don't know who they are!" But on the outskirts of Sofia alone, there are thousands more corpses! ”
Sava Mutkurov exclaimed: "What? Mr. Fuhu, are you sure? Is the cabinet crazy? ”
"Yes," affirmed, "Mr. Savoie's cabinet may be really insane. The direct execution of so many people without a court trial is already a naked massacre! ”
Sava Mutkurov asked with some lost soul: "This... What are the plans of His Excellency the Grand Duke? ”
