Chapter 32: The Massacre
From top to bottom, level by level, the resolution of the Stamm cabinet was passed down in such a daze, as if it was understood or not.
Fuhu, who had long been eyeing him, naturally would not let go of this God-given opportunity, and Ferdinand's order to him was to borrow a knife to kill people and clear the hidden danger.
Now that the time is ripe, Forhu has activated the intelligence officers who have been lurking in the police for a long time, with only one mission, to "expand the situation as much as possible"!
Laurenwell is very annoyed now, as the boss of the Sofia Police Department, few people dare to find him unhappy!
However, recently it is an exception, yesterday there was a major assassination in Sofia that shocked the whole country, as the head of the Sofia police department, it is already God blessed that he was not removed, and life will naturally not be easy.
He had just received another secret order from the Ministry of the Interior, and his mood was even worse. There is only one core meaning, asking him to immediately "execute the leaders of the rebel party", but there is no specific list, and Laurenwell is circled.
"Who the hell are you going to kill? Now I have a lot of chaotic parties in my hands, and I must have a specific goal! Do you want to execute them all? Thinking of this, Lorenwell was scared, there were thousands of them!
Laurenwell, who didn't figure it out, only wandered around the office. At that moment, his secretary Conreth suddenly said, "I seem to know what is going on!" ”
"Oh, God forbid! Tell me, what the hell is going on? Laurenwell was very pleased
Conreth smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Director, you have linked what happened in Sofia yesterday, and you will understand it immediately!" ”
Laurenwell's face turned pale and said, "Yesterday...... Ah, God! I've got a big deal going on, and it's not a good job! If you don't make a big mess, no wonder the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs don't dare to say it directly! ”
"Yes, Mr. Director!" The people above want revenge, but they don't want to be infamous as butchers. The Ministry of Internal Affairs also does not want to bear the reputation of butchers, although their reputation is not good in the first place! ”
Lorenwell said angrily: "Damn fuck off, this is letting Lao Tzu be a scapegoat!" So what do we do now? ”
"In that case, Mr. Director, why don't we also learn from the Ministry of the Interior and leave it to the people below to do it!" ”
Laurenwell's eyes lit up, slapped the table, and exclaimed, "Great idea!" Do it! At least it can reduce our responsibility, and by the way, don't forget to give some tips to the people below, otherwise those idiots will probably not be able to do anything! ”
Conreth immediately chimed in and said, "Yes, Mr. Director, it's best to let the people below do it tonight, so as not to have too many dreams at night!" ”
"Okay, I'll order it right away!" Laurenville said after a little thought
Laurenwell still didn't know how much of an impact his order would have, and Sofia was bleeding tonight.
It was clear that Conreth had a bad idea for him, and with the help of Ferdinand's intelligence officers, everyone knew that the cabinet wanted revenge, and the massacre began!
In fact, there are still many people in the circle at the same time, and everyone who receives the secret order is in a similar mood now.
At this moment, there will always be people who come forward to offer ideas that are reminiscent of that assassination. Many smart people think that they understand, the boss wants revenge, and naturally the more kills the better!
From the original plan of the Cabinet, a dozen heads of state were executed; By the time it came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the target had been expanded to dozens of people; Now that it has been fueled by intelligence people, it has been interpreted below that the more kills, the better; In order to curry favor with the cabinet, some people directly killed all the chaotic parties in their hands!
An unclear secret order, because of the misinterpretation of his subordinates, caused an accidental massacre. This is the "secret massacre" that had a profound impact on Bulgaria!
Because the people in charge of the execution, they were not sure who should be killed and who should not be killed, so they raised the butcher's knife in a daze, and it was called the "Bulgarian Confused Massacre" by later generations! ”
Ferdinand managed to hide himself behind the scenes, without revealing a trace, and on the surface he was not aware of it.
The black cauldron was naturally and accurately buckled on the head of the Stam cabinet, and it was not pressed by the debt anyway. From a "dictatorial government" to a "police government", and now there is another hat of "butcher government". It was also voted the worst cabinet in Bulgaria by the media of later generations.
On the other side, the opposition party, which was still in the dark, did not know that the butcher's knife was about to be cut at them.
On 5 May, officers led by Major Panicha launched an uprising in a barracks on the outskirts of Sofia. Unfortunately, due to the lack of organization, it was exposed as soon as it was launched, and was led and suppressed by the commander of the Sofian garrison, Sava Mutkurov, and Panicha was killed on the spot.
At the same time, the strongholds of opposition parties in various places have also been exposed. The angry policemen went straight to the door, and the opposition party was almost wiped out!
The Stamm Cabinet, where everything is going well, does not yet know that the death knell has sounded for them. is indulging in the joy of exterminating the rebellious party, or bathing in the pleasure of revenge!
……
With the sound of gunshots in the suburbs, the Bulgarian prison cells gradually lost their usual hustle and bustle and became empty again.
After this night, the Stamm government finally eliminated the opposition parties physically. Even if there are still fish that slip through the net, there is no chance of becoming a climate again. Because their supporters no longer exist.
According to later statistics, more than 12,000 people were killed in Bulgaria that night.
"Rivers of blood flowed, mountains of bones flowed, the sky was miserable, and the earth was light. The dark years are miserable!" The famous Bulgarian writer Nikolai Haitov described the tragedy with such verses.
At the end of the 19th century, the Bulgarian bourgeoisie was still very limited. Dominantly, however, it was the landlord class, the evolved agricultural capitalists, and the emerging industrial and commercial bourgeoisie, which was extremely weak.
The main supporters of the Stam government happened to be this new group of industrial and commercial capitalists, who were closely linked to Austro-Hungarian and British capital.
Now the Stam government has succeeded in eliminating its rivals, but it has also lost its fragile ruling base.
Originally, the vast majority of Bulgarian peasants, the urban petty bourgeoisie, and most of the missionaries and intellectuals were pro-Russians, opposed to the government's policy toward Russia, and had very little support for the Stam government.
Coupled with the Stat's Cabinet's reign of terror, it was even more displeasing to the population, and now there have been horrific massacres that will inevitably provoke popular opposition. The moment Ferdinand had been waiting for for many days had already arrived.
