Chapter 36: The Provisional Cabinet was established
Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Lord Skritmen said in disbelief: "How is this possible? The cabinet is crazy, is it possible that the officials below are also crazy? This is utter madness! ”
No one answered him, and everyone around him was as stunned as he was. The opposition party, which originally thought it was going to make a comeback, was now blinded by this bad news.
The main characters are dead, the foundation is gone, and there are two or three remaining kittens and dogs, who are already destined to become spectators.
In the eyes of the outside world, this is a fierce battle between the Liberals and the opposition. The Liberals felt that the tide was turning, and simply dragged the opposition parties to the end.
Now everyone is about the same, the Liberal Party is discredited, the opposition is thin, everyone has lost their popular base, and neither is capable of eliminating the other.
This is exactly what Ferdinand wanted, and after this campaign, it will be difficult for a political party in Bulgaria to become a climate for at least twenty years~.
And the people are no longer interested in political parties, the massacre of the Liberal Party, the assassination of the opposition party, it is terrifying to think about!
Ferdinand thought about it, but decided to beat the water dogs, and said to Ferhu: "The focus of your next work is to continue to guide public opinion and focus on propaganda to fight against differences between the party and the party!" ”
Fu Hu asked suspiciously: "Your Excellency is going to abolish the political party?" ”
Ferdinand glared at Ferhu dissatisfied, and after a moment of silence, said, "What? What do you think is wrong? ”
Fuhu knew that he had lost his words, which was beyond the scope of his work, and hurriedly said: "No, no problem, I'll do it right away!" ”
Ferdinand waved his hand and motioned for Ferhu to leave. I thought to myself: "The power in Fuhu's hands is so great that he is now a little carried away, and it seems that it is necessary to divide power!" ”
At this time, Alice walked up to Ferdinand and said, "Grand Duke, Minister Chekov is here. ”
"Let him in!" Ferdinand calmed down and said
……
Done, courtesy greetings, Chekov began to report to Ferdinand.
"Your Excellency, I recommend to you a person who is very capable and can assist you in handling government affairs!"
Ferdinand asked in surprise: "Oh! Who is it? ”
The Stamm cabinet fell, leaving behind a huge sum of money and a bunch of difficult messes. The interim cabinet had not yet been formed, and Ferdinand had to deal with it, and he was in dire need of help.
Chekov did not shy away from saying: "My old classmate Konstantin Torov, a former top of the People's Party, is very capable personally, and he has no obvious inclination in diplomacy. ”
Ferdinand was shocked, he was another celebrity, and it seemed that he was the next prime minister of Bulgaria in the original time and space.
Konstantin Terrov, who became Prime Minister of Bulgaria in 1894, continued the economic policy of the Stam government and promoted the industrial development of Bulgaria with the greatest energy of any previous government; A diplomatic rapprochement was reached with Russia, which normalized relations with Bulgaria.
However, when it comes to dealing with political opponents, the BJP often hires assassins to murder them. And soon after taking office, party officials engaged in gray deals, embezzlement and corruption, and soon became notorious.
Ferdinand thought about it, and then relaxed, the current situation is very different from history. A Konstantin Eelov can't make big waves, and it seems like a good option to let him handle domestic affairs.
"Oh, since you hold him in high esteem, then I'll see him!" Ferdinand said with a smile
Chekov said in an affirmative tone: "Don't worry, Your Excellency, he will definitely not let you down!" ”
Ferdinand nodded and said, "Yes! By the way, the interim cabinet is about to be formed. I've got a spot for you, so get ready! ”
Chekov was overjoyed that his efforts had finally not been in vain and had been rewarded so quickly. Joyful and excited, he said: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, I will definitely work hard to do a good job!" ”
Ferdinand nodded with satisfaction, he had been operating in Bulgaria for too short a time, and there were not many suitable candidates in his hands.
Chekov was the first high-ranking government official to defect to him, and although his ability was average, he was obedient and had good execution. And he is already the Minister of Education, and it is not too abrupt to promote him to the cabinet.
……
Time flies, and after two days of fermentation, the news has spread all over Bulgaria, and everyone is talking about it.
The media, which had just been deregulated, now seemed to be suffocated, biting the Liberal Party and the opposition parties to lash out. The intellectuals who escaped the catastrophe and the people in the educational circles responded in droves.
Thanks to the Reign of Terror of the Stamm government, many ordinary people are, and it is none of their business~ hanging high, which has relieved Ferdinand's pressure.
Although the Stamm cabinet was sent away in the name of mental illness, there were still strong calls for them to be sentenced to death.
Fortunately, Ferdinand dealt with it decisively, launched a rehabilitation committee, and diverted the public's attention by overturning the case, so as not to cause chaos.
On May 15, 1889, Ferdinand formed a low-key provisional cabinet, and the prime minister was vacant
, now there are only three members, the Minister of Education, Chekov, the Minister of Agriculture, James Pedinov, and the pro-Russian Archbishop Kliment.
Immediately after the formation of the new government, tithes in kind were abolished, as well as the exorbitant taxes imposed during the Stam administration.
Later, Ferdinand was appointed Archbishop of Sklyment to organize a delegation to visit St. Petersburg and pacify the pro-Russian faction in the country.
After doing this, Ferdinand breathed a deep sigh of relief. The chaotic situation in Bulgaria was stabilized in the short term.
Now Ferdinand had the energy to deal with the mess left behind by Stam's cabinet. The five-year plan in progress cannot be stopped; The chaotic government system needs to be sorted out; The most troubling are the suspects who have been secretly executed and who are still in prison, and need to be re-identified.
Konstantin Edelof passed Ferdinand's test and was appointed Minister of the Interior, responsible for the day-to-day work of the government.
Chekov personally took charge of the commission to overturn the case and began to convict the guilty, and of course those who participated in or were involved in the assassination were directly ignored. The unlucky ones were directly destroyed and leaned back.
Even so, the rehabilitation of tens of thousands of people cannot be carried out quickly. It was Ferdinand's idea, and everything was done according to the legal process.
Ferdinand also brought in the Bulgarian judiciary, Boris Kristov, a well-known old stubborn, to form the Anti-Corruption Bureau.
Cleansing of the moths in the government has begun, including the previous cabinet, which is also under investigation, and a large number of officials are facing replacement.
The police department bore the brunt of the massacre, and as a direct participant in the massacre, the outside world shouted and shouted and killed. Taking this opportunity, Ferdinand quietly took control of the police system.
It took Ferdinand and the interim cabinet more than half a year before the government was on the right track.
