Chapter 327： Turbulent Bulgaria (middle)

The decision of the two reinforcement commanders did not give them the gratitude of many soldiers. Because one day's rest time is only enough for soldiers to relieve their physical fatigue, and there is no way to deal with their inner dissatisfaction.

"We are either desperately on this battlefield or transferred to that battlefield for rescue. I have had enough of these **** days."

"The same is true for me. This terrible war has taken too many lives. Our class alone has changed a lot of people, Miller, Yale, Carl, Love, etc., remember that Sumen?"

"Of course I remember, it was not older than the squad leader, and he knew every day the old guy who told us to cherish life and nagging. Didn't this guy die six months ago?"

"Yes, this nagging old guy died before. He once said in a small talk to me that before we came, he had witnessed the deaths of no less than ten comrades in battle, and some of them couldn’t even find their bodies. To."

"We will do our best on the front line. Why do many people in their hometown have been owed crops for years and died because of hunger, but those powerful nobles don't have to worry about this at all."

In the camp, the two soldiers gradually went from complaining about the cruelty of the battlefield to confessing the injustice of the society. What's more worrying is that the two soldiers vent their dissatisfaction unscrupulously, and there is no one to stop them. This shows that this kind of dissatisfaction has become a common phenomenon in military camps, which is like an explosive barrel placed under high temperature, as long as a little accident is very likely to explode its due power.

At this moment, another soldier rushed over. "The news that Lianli has just come down, let us fix it for a day here."

The two soldiers who were chatting immediately stopped talking, and one of them asked immediately. "Did you say you can let us go out and relax?"

The soldier who was questioned seemed to be very skilled at being asked about this question, and he shook his head and said. "I know what you think, but unfortunately it can only be in the barracks. It's impossible for you to see Sophia's wind and snow."

In the face of his comrades in arms, the soldiers felt a little depressed when asked. After experiencing emotionally tense battles on the battlefield, the necessary venting is also part of the soldiers' stress relief. Tobacco and alcohol, sex, and killing are the best solutions. However, considering the current civilized society, the killing of ignorance is not suitable for this era, so tobacco, alcohol and **** have become the best choices.

Now the officers don't let them go out to relax, which makes the expectant soldiers feel a little strange. But this can't be blamed on the officer's decision. They know too much about the virtues of their soldiers, and every time they relax, they will cause a lot of troubles such as fights and thefts. And they are currently in the capital Sofia, where too many powerful figures will cause big trouble if one is not good, so they can only be confined to the barracks for safety, but unfortunately there are no tobacco and alcohol items for them to relax.

The soldier who informed the two men saw their depression and whispered another situation. "If you are bored, someone in Sanlian is organizing a speech. If you are interested, you can take a look."

The words of their comrades-in-arms made the two of them interested. It would be boring to stay in the barracks anyway, they asked casually. "What does the speech say?"

"I don't know this, I also listened to others."

The soldier who informed the letter did not answer the questions of the two of them, but left after saying a word.

Looking at the leaving comrades, one of them asked. "Are you going to have a look?"

"Why not? I can't get out of the barracks anyway, I'm idle, I'm idle."

The two people who had nothing to do in the barracks decided to go to Sanlian to see the excitement.

Just do it, and it didn't take long for them to come to the third company camp not far from them. As soon as the two entered the room of the third company, they found that there were not many people inside. Many soldiers gathered around a soldier with glasses, listening to his speech.

When the two of them saw this situation, they were also curiously approaching to hear what the **** was talking about here?

After the two approached, they heard the soldier speaking aloud in his affectionate language.

"Soldiers, it has been a long time since our motherland has joined this war, and for this reason, we have spent almost three years fighting with the enemy on the battlefield. Three years is enough for a newborn baby to learn how to call a mom and dad. , But now the victory of the war is farther and farther away from us. Whenever we think of sacrificed comrades and relatives, we should ask in our hearts whether it is worth it?"

The words of the soldiers who were giving a speech resonated with everyone, but some soldiers still put forward different opinions. "But this is to recapture our inherent territories and compatriots that are occupied by neighboring countries."

The dissent did not make the speaking soldier feel how difficult it is to answer this question, so he opened his mouth to answer. "Yes, this is all the news that the government wants us to know. If it is really just to get back what belongs to us, then we should negotiate with neighboring countries and let the people in these areas make a referendum instead of joining this **** thing. Let us drain our blood for this war."

Having said this, the soldier who gave the speech said emotionally. "Comrades-in-arms, this war has cost us too much. You all know that there is a shortage of domestic supplies, but do you know the extent of the shortage of supplies?"

Where do ordinary soldiers know about this issue? The government knows these things best, but the government cannot tell them about the stability of the situation.

Seeing that no one could answer, the soldier who gave the speech said directly. "Now many people in China have starved to death due to food shortages."

"This is unlikely."

"Is this a bit exaggerated?"

The speaker's words made the surrounding soldiers a little bit unbelievable, and they started talking.

Seeing that the soldiers didn't believe it, the soldiers who gave the speech directly gave out even more exciting local news. "My uncle worked for the government statistics department. According to the news he learned, in the first half of this year, 57,000 people died of starvation in our country. Most of them were elderly and children. The number of people who starved to death in the second half of this year More than 92,700 people died because of various diseases caused by hunger."

The soldiers were taken aback by the reported death toll. In the past, when communicating with family members, at most, I realized that the food was not enough to eat, and one or two people in the surrounding neighbors died as a result of this ~ www.novelhall.com~ and they have not intuitively understood the numbers. Now this question is directly exposed to them, but it makes them wonder how to answer.

Seeing the shocked soldiers around, the speakers continued to agitate. "You know the truth now, these are figures that the government dare not disclose. Because they encouraged us to go to the battlefield to sell our lives, while letting our family endure hunger and even death. Those nobles and powerful people do not have this at all. Worried that they have money to buy all kinds of living materials, even red wine from France, tobacco and tea from the United Kingdom. When we and our family are working hard for this country, they are not at all such danger. This is unfair. Phenomenon, we must fight this fate."

Among the soldiers agitated by the content and atmosphere of the speech, someone responded loudly to his words. "We must fight this fate."

The soldiers who were led also cried out. "Struggle...struggle..."

"We don't want to fight anymore. We want peace and bread."

"For peace and bread."

Seeing this situation, the soldiers who gave the speech were very excited. Finally, they let the soldiers vent their dissatisfaction with the government, and things were much easier to do next.

There is more than one such speech in the barracks. In fact, there are many such people in the barracks. They use various methods to make the soldiers burst out dissatisfaction with the government. These people are actually Bulgarian political forces, but they just advocate differently. Now that the country is facing a critical moment, of course they want to jump off the German and Austrian ship, and now it is also a very suitable time.

So in the early morning of January 12, 1918, soldiers in the barracks caused a riot, and they asked the government to withdraw from the war. This made the Bulgarian government faltering even worse.
