Chapter 128: Bulgaria with the participation of the whole people

Ferdinand was in a good mood right now, first the right army won the victory, and then the left army made a breakthrough!

Although the results of the battle have not yet been counted, the General Staff roughly estimates that forty or fifty thousand young men in Serbia have died! That's right, it's the young and strong, in the eyes of the General Staff, they can't be considered an army at all!

None of this is the point, the point is that the losses of the Bulgarian army were minimal!

In order to make Serbia hold on for a little longer, Ferdinand decisively blocked the news and suppressed the results!

Otherwise, seeing this loss, the Serbs will probably not be able to bear it and directly admit defeat! When the time comes, as soon as Austria-Hungary comes out, Bulgaria will fight in vain!

In fact, seeing the results of the battle, the Bulgarian military itself was shocked! The lethality of artillery plus machine guns on the battlefield is really unexpected!

This has almost already announced that in future wars, the tactics of crowds will be eliminated, and weapons and equipment will become the mainstream!

Ferdinand made a brazen move, interrupting their unrealistic fantasies! Don't look at the amazing results of the Bulgarian army, just take a closer look, and you will find that most of the Serbian losses are young men who have just resisted the guns!

Although the Left Route Army also defeated 30,000 enemy troops, the Fifth Division, the main Serbian force, ran at least half of the people, most of whom were veterans!

Most of the dead were untrained recruits, and many were overwhelmed as soon as the artillery went off! Before the Left Army could attack, the guns went off.

The recruits were nervous, regardless of whether there was an enemy in front of them, and began to shoot. What's more, they fired their guns directly into the sky, as if they were planning to shoot down the shells!

By the time the Left Army really attacked, many Serbian positions were dumbfounded. That's right, it's the bullets that run out!

As a bait, the 30,000 troops that are put out are completely cannon fodder! Subolovvich is still reluctant to take 30,000 main forces to risk, and the equipment is naturally varied, usually it is nothing, and logistics supply on the battlefield has become a problem!

Fifty rounds per person, theoretically aiming is enough. It's a pity that knowing modern warfare, everyone knows that thousands of bullets and killing an enemy is normal!

Of course, at the end of the 19th century, this was not obvious, and breech rifles were only just making their debut! The machine gun was first unveiled on the battlefield in 1894! In previous wars, ammunition consumption, not so great!

Despite the fact that Bulgaria has started wartime economic controls, the atmosphere in Sofia is still very hot!

The specific results are not yet clear, anyway, the front line is a victory! Everyone has reason to rejoice, as soon as the war began, the Bulgarian army broke out of the country, and the Serbian army was defeated one after another!

Celebrations, now it's time for free! During the war, everything was simple, saving materials to support the front line, and besides, this time it was the Serbs who fought, and there was no reason for the people not to support it!

Bosque is one of them, his left leg was scrapped in the last war, and now he walks in waves!

For the government to fight Serbia, he is extremely supportive! To implement the wartime economy at home, before mobilization, Bosque signed up, and then his shoe store was requisitioned on duty!

Now that the army has won, Bosque is proud, and then he brags with his old friend Laura, or rather, he is embarrassed!

Bosque has a reason to be proud of the troops fighting on the front line, and some people just wear the military boots made of him! And Laura, an old friend, was engaged in international trade, and at the beginning of the war, there was no business!

"Laura, isn't my friend celebrating today? Why don't I treat you to a drink? Bosque said with a smile

"Bosque, of course we should celebrate, but it's a time of war, and we can't afford to waste it, so I've quit drinking for the time being!" Laura glared at Bosque and said

Obviously, Laura saw Bosque's intentions and simply blocked it back!

"You've quit drinking? This is really sad news! But I have something stored in my house earlier, so you really don't drink it? Bosque said with a teas

"Of course you have to drink, it's the time of the war, and abstaining from alcohol helps save food! If you store it in advance, don't drink it in vain! Laura said bluntly

"Let's go, then! Did you know that my shoe store has been receiving a lot of military orders lately? Bosque said excitedly

"Come on, you take a fart order, it's not a unified deployment by the government!" Laura said, rolling her eyes

"That's the same, anyway, I also contributed to this war, much stronger than you do international trade!" Bosque said smugly

"You're right, I'm ready to go into business after the war! If you say it well, it's international trade, and if you don't say it, it's compradors! To the strength of the country, not much help! Laura sighed

Bosque was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Have you figured it out?" ”

Laura said cautiously, "What did you think about it? International trade will soon be untenable! With the completion of domestic industrialization, many foreign goods will face competition from local enterprises!

If I continue to act as an agent for them, I might starve to death! Like the import and export of agricultural products, mineral resources, and large machinery and equipment, these bulk commodities are not something I can meddle in!

How much prospect can we have if we continue to do small commodity wholesale and face competition from local enterprises? ”

Bosque looked at his old friend in surprise and said, "You've figured it out!" What's next? ”

Laura shook her head and said, "I don't know yet!" Now there are giants in many potential industries in China, and it is difficult to compete with them! ”

Bosque didn't know how to comfort him, doing business was risky, and if he went to compete with the giants, it would be even more difficult!

……

It was not only Bosque's shoe stores that were requisitioned, as soon as the war began, Bulgaria's large and small enterprises were basically requisitioned, and it was obligatory!

The national economic system built by Ferdinand has already begun to bear fruit, and during the war years, the cost to be paid was much lower!

Under the suppression of public opinion in the general environment, the capitalists in Bulgaria have chosen to cooperate with the current affairs! Those who disagree are all national thieves, and they have been defeated!

There were no capitalists who made war money, and domestic purchases were all at cost price, and the Bulgarian government found that the expenses during the war were much smaller than expected! Even the material consumption has exceeded the initial estimate!

Even Ferdinand had to sigh that Bulgarian nationalism was strong! That's right, he suppressed the capitalists with righteousness and forced them to give up the opportunity to make war profits!

Unexpectedly, after the capitalists gave up their profits, ordinary people also supported the war with practical actions!

Countless workers have opted for unpaid overtime; The farmers spontaneously joined the transportation brigade, and in order to speed up the efficiency, the people in the village played a relay race, and some people spontaneously provided food and boiling water along the way!

All sectors of society are donating money and materials, no matter what class they are, they have all spontaneously participated in this war!

It was a war in which the whole people participated, and Ferdinand somewhat understood why in the First World War, Bulgaria, with a population of four million, was able to mobilize 1.26 million troops to fight throughout the Balkans, and the high-intensity operations lasted for two years until the war was lost!
