Bulgarian Empire

　　 Following Ferdinand’s order, the Bulgarian war machine immediately began to operate. The benefits of vigorously investing in infrastructure are reflected. Strategic materials from all over the country are gathered in Sofia in an orderly manner.

　　 Although Sofia has a long history and excellent weather conditions, from a security perspective, it is not a good capital! It is too close to the border line. Once a war breaks out, it will immediately become the front line.

　　The closest place to Serbia is only a hundred kilometers away. The poor relations between Serbia and Serbia make it subject to Serbian military threats at any time!

　　In order to protect the safety of the capital, Bulgaria had to deploy a large number of troops in Kinzi and Tren. It is possible that half of the country's military forces are gathered around Sofia, and a Serbia holds over 60% of Bulgaria's military power!

　　 Since Ferdinand succeeded to the throne, he has always wanted to solve the military threat from Serbia to Sofia. The good news is that Serbia has not been in a state since the Serbian War nine years ago, and Ferdinand has not fallen asleep!

　　The contradiction between the two sides has a long history, and the grievances between the two sides are not clear. After Ferdinand succeeded to the throne, he didn't think about easing the relations between Bulgaria and Serbia, but after understanding the contradictions between Paul and Serbia, he could no longer think of reconciliation!

　　 If the contradiction between Germany and France is due to the Alsace-Lorraine territorial dispute, the European hegemony dispute, and the market dispute between capitalism, it is difficult to alleviate!

　　 In addition to the territorial dispute, the battle for survival is more important! ! Both countries are in the Balkans and the great powers look around. Both countries have the heart to strengthen themselves, but how can the small Balkans be able to accommodate them? ?

　　 At the same time, both countries are a mixture of Slavs and other ethnic groups. Under the influence of Russia, both countries regard themselves as leaders of Slavs in the Balkans!

　　 One held high the banner of "Greater Serbia" and the other held high the banner of "Greater Bulgaria". The two sides are very tacitly placed each other within the target range, which can be said to be incompatible!

　　 Compromise does not exist anymore, all thinking about annexing the other side, war is a matter of time, unless one side completely falls!

　　 Ferdinand can swear that he is really not interested in Serbia, and he didn't want to build a new version of the "Austro-Hungarian" empire!

　　 But it can’t stand that the people all over the country have this idea, Ferdinand does not have the ability to fight against the people! In a popular saying, "A qualified Bulgarian, eat, sleep, believe in God, and fight Serbia what he wants to do!" If possible, beat the Ottoman again, so much better! !

　　 Besides, the Serbs on the other side have similar ideas. Even though Bulgaria's national strength is now several times that of Serbia, no one from the Serbian government proposes to improve relations with Bulgaria!

　　 Since it is destined to be an enemy, it can only "take your life when you are sick"!

　　 In line with the principle of "strike first, then make you suffer", on October 5, 1894, the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs submitted a war declaration to Serbia!

　　 ordered the Serbian government to surrender the war criminals in the Bulgarian War of nine years ago in three days, and the Bulgarian War Special Court will give a public trial, and also listed a series of war criminals!

　　 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is still very ethical, there is no fabricating it out of thin air, there is real evidence! It's just that the list is a bit longer. Basically, the officers who participated in the last Serbian War and the surviving officers are on the list!

　　 There is no room for the Serbian government to choose. The countdown to the war has begun!

　　 The foreign ministry's far-fetched excuse, Ferdinand wisely chose to ignore it! In the last Serbian War, Serbia was defeated. Although it didn't pay much, it still apologized and admitted its aggression!

　　In theory, the Bulgarian government still reserves the right to pursue war criminals, but this has been nine years! It doesn't matter what, this excuse, on the surface, the war launched by Bulgaria is still just. Anyway, all Bulgarians believe it, that's enough!

　　Sliven New District, Bulgaria, Weibote is working overtime in frustration, without the passion of the past!

　　 Yes, his application to join the army was rejected again! Not only him, but the engineers of the entire machinery factory are not within the scope of recruitment!

　　Although they have also actively signed up, the reason is very simple. The machinery factory is a key enterprise, and it has been confiscated during the war and started to produce weapons and ammunition!

　　Balkans, every man has a heroic dream! Weibo is no exception. As a native Bulgarian, joining the army to fight Serbia has always been his dream!

　　 Without him, Ferdinand’s patriotism education, the hatred between Paul and Serbia! And the key is that Serbia is weak enough to be safe and secure in fighting against it, and it can also make achievements and make a fortune. Every Bulgarian believes in this!

　　The Paul-Serbia War nine years ago is just one example. Wiebot’s brother, Howell, participated in that battle!

　　 Weibote was hunting in the mountains with his father when he was recruiting. If he missed the registration time, he missed the battle! Every time he heard his brother's bragging, Weibote was fascinated!

　　 To sum up, Serbia is weak enough and Bulgarians are brave enough! The evidence is that in a battle on the South Morava River, the brother Howell was in the new regiment, in the absence of guns and medicine, defeated the two opposing regiments with more Serbia regular army!

　　 What was the specific situation? Howell, who had limited education, couldn't describe it clearly. Anyway, he just listened to the order. After paying hundreds of casualties, he won the battle in a muddle!

　　 After the war, Howell returned triumphantly and was treated like a hero! In addition to the rewards issued by the government, he also brought back rich loot and became the core of the family!

　　 Later, when he was young, Shengwei Bot came out to ask for life. There is no way he wants to be a hero, not to live in the shadow of his brother!

　　 Even if he is married and is already the father of three children, Weibot still has not extinguished his heart on the battlefield!

　　 This is the pot of the Ferdinand Reserve plan. The adult Bulgarian man must participate in military training for half a month every year! It can also be regarded as a tradition in the Balkans. Adult men can go to the battlefield at any time!

　　Supor is also very annoying now, the leader has spoken and asked them to do the ideological work of the workers! Not only have to complete the production task, but also overfulfill the task!

　　 Well, he is also interested in going to the battlefield, as the government advertised, "A life that has not been to the battlefield is an incomplete life!"

　　 Anyway, the work is still to be done! This is a military production, so we must not hold back!

　　 Seeing Weibo who was restless, Supor's signature greeting: "What's wrong with Weibo? What's unhappy recently?"

　　 Weibo said with a wry smile: "You know, the application for enlistment was rejected again!"

　　Subor pretended to be indifferent: "What should I do, isn't this normal? Guess, how many people can defeat Serbia in a small Serbia? It was our defeat back then, let alone now!

　　 So, even if you are enlisted in the army, you have no chance to go to the battlefield, at most you can follow the main force to do things! It is better to stay in the rear to produce weapons and ammunition, which will be more effective! "

　　 After listening to Supor's comfort, Weibot's mood has improved a lot. It's just Serbia!

　　……

　　Well, Ferdinand did not expect that the self-confidence of the Bulgarian folk is much stronger than the government! The war has not yet started, everyone thinks it must be won, and many people want to enter the melee battle!
