"These Austro-Hungarians are shameless enough to make us happy."

Ferdinand I looked at the telegram in his hand, and vented his dissatisfaction with Austria-Hungary to Prime Minister Geschoff in his office with a face full of anger. There is also a broken cup on the ground, silently recounting his tragic process. It seems that Ferdinand I was burned by the fury of this telegram, forgetting that he himself was born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Prime Minister Geschoff looked at the king's anger and there was only a rogue in his heart. The reason for all this was this telegram from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In this telegram, Austria-Hungary told Bulgaria that, due to the lack of German support, they could not unite with the Bulgarian army to attack Serbia. However, they are still willing to provide funds of 10 million levs and arms worth 5 million levs to support Bulgaria's just military action against Serbia.

The problem is that what Bulgaria desperately needs now is military support, not financial and arms assistance, and the Austro-Hungarian army has not mentioned anything about creating a conflict on the Serbian border. Just like a person originally promised me to help you attract the enemy, you sneak attack from behind. Later, he said that we should beat him together. Who knows if you are ready, he changed his mind and even canceled his previous promise. How could it not be that Ferdinand I was furious. However, anger cannot help Ferdinand I solve the problem, and now domestic public opinion has made no one stop the military operation.

Prime Minister Geschoff asked after Ferdinand I's anger had subsided. "Your Majesty, do we still need to continue our military operations?"

In the face of the Prime Minister's inquiry, Ferdinand I asked back. "Is it possible that this situation in China will stop now?"

Hearing the king's words, Prime Minister Geschov fell silent. Now he knows the domestic situation in Bulgaria very well. If it can be suppressed at the beginning, the domestic public opinion is now a fire. Anyone who tries to put water on the fire will be burned to death by this fire, and no one will exception.

The only way now is to direct the anger of the people to Serbia and Greece, which the government has done before and cannot stop now.

Seeing the silent prime minister, King Ferdinand I knew that it was not his responsibility, and said after calming down. "The Prime Minister's government will hand it over to you."

After Prime Minister Geschoff heard the words of Ferdinand I, he knew that the king planned to go to the battlefield in person as he did in the Ottoman war, and he quickly stepped forward and said with concern. "Your Majesty, our advantage is not too great this time. It's better to let Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov command. After all, the battle location is not too far from Sofia, and the news can be sent back quickly."

Hearing the Prime Minister's concern, Ferdinand I explained it to him. "It is precisely because we have little advantage that I need to boost morale. You can rest assured that I will not be on the front line."

After hearing the words of the king,

Prime Minister Geschoff knew he had made up his mind and could only speak. "Then I wish Your Majesty victory in advance."

After speaking, Prime Minister Geschov planned to leave the kingdom's office. When he walked to the door, Prime Minister Geschov suddenly turned around and said something that he was worried about when he saw the announcement of the Romanian military exercise. "Your Majesty, the 4,000 square kilometers of territory that should be divided up in the agreement between us and Romania, do you think you should discuss it with the Romanian ambassador. I guess I'm expressing my dissatisfaction with this Romanian maneuver."

Ferdinand I heard Prime Minister Geschoff's concerns about the Romanian exercise and said it casually. "Prime Minister, you are worried. Romania is doing exercises every year, so don't worry. At most, we will draw the territory after the war with Serbia and Greece. But before we divide the territory, we have to charge a little more tax."

Hearing that Ferdinand I didn't take his own words too seriously, Prime Minister Geschoff couldn't say more, after all, it was just his own guess.

After seeing Prime Minister Geschoff gone, Ferdinand I called the guard. "Make arrangements, we are going to Miloka tomorrow"

"As your majesty."

Prime Minister Gaishov began to get busy after returning to the Prime Minister's Office. After all, the king had to go to the front so most of the things had to be on him.

And King Ferdinand saw off his wife Queen Marie Louise, his two sons Prince Boris and Prince Kirill, and his youngest daughter Xie Jieri at the gate of the palace the next morning after a night of rest. up.

"Father, I also want to go to the front."

The eldest son, Crown Prince Boris, who is 19 years old, watched his father speak his mind.

After hearing his brother's words, 18-year-old Prince Kirill followed suit. "Father, I also want to go to war against Serbs and Greeks who don't keep their word."

After hearing the words of his two sons, Ferdinand I scolded with a straight face. "Nonsense, war is killing people, and thousands of people will die. If you really go to the battlefield, maybe a bullet will kill you."

After hearing the words of their father Ferdinand, the two princes spoke. "We are not afraid of death."

The son's words made Ferdinand I's face change, and he yelled at them. "You are not afraid of death, I am."

He turned to his wife Mary. "Take care of the two of them, and don't allow them to leave the palace until I come back."

Queen Mary knew that her husband was really angry, and she didn't want her son to go to the battlefield. She glanced at the two worried sons and said. "Okay, I will tell the guards not to let them go out."

Ferdinand I, who received the queen's reply, boarded the car, and was escorted by guards to Miloka, the headquarters of the war against Serbia.

The town of Miloka is located 60 kilometers west of Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, between Bitola and Ohrid, which are occupied by Serbia. The traffic is quite convenient, there are about 2,000 people living here, and there is a road from Sofia to Macedonia. Now it is filled with a large number of soldiers in preparation for the Serbian battle.

Senior Bulgarian officers such as Army Minister Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov, 1st Army Commander Lieutenant General Vasil Kudinchev, 3rd Army Commander General Nikolai Ivanov and others were all in town today. The mouth is ready to welcome the visit of King Ferdinand I.

"coming."

When a group of senior officers in their fifties and sixties were dazed by the June sun, a general with good eyesight shouted. The group of senior officers who were already drowsy lifted their spirits. As the generals were getting ready, the convoy of Ferdinand I appeared before them. Ferdinand I in the car said to the driver after seeing the generals who greeted him. "Stop when you get close."

"Crench."

The king's car stopped ten meters away from them. After King Ferdinand got out of the car, he walked directly towards the generals.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

When Ferdinand I approached them, Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov, Minister of War, took the lead in salute him.

"Excuse me, gentlemen."

King Ferdinand hurriedly stepped forward to support his war minister and spoke to the commanders of the various troops behind him.

After hearing the king's words, the generals straightened up. Seeing the generals leading the Bulgarian army to victory in front of him, King Ferdinand gave an impromptu speech. "Defenders of Bulgaria, you have worked hard. In the battle against the Ottomans, the battle you commanded has secured our victory. It is immoral for Serbia and Greece to refuse to return the fruits of victory we deserve, and we will let them Know the consequences of stealing our stuff."

After hearing the king's speech, the generals present applauded enthusiastically, expressing their agreement with the king's speech.

After a speech, Ferdinand I, led by Lieutenant-General Mikhail Savov, Minister of War, came down to the General Command. Ferdinand I, accompanied by a group of generals, asked how his morale was and whether there were any problems that needed to be solved, and all received satisfactory answers. He then kept Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov on the grounds that he needed a rest.

In a room of the headquarters, Ferdinand I questioned Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov. "How is the preparation of the army now?"

The War Minister answered the King's question. "It's almost ready."

"That's good." After hearing his words, Ferdinand I went on to tell him some bad news from Austria-Hungary. "The Austro-Hungarian Empire only sent us a message. Because of Germany's unsupported, they can no longer attack Serbia with us."

Hearing the news brought by the king, the Minister of War was shocked. "These Austro-Hungarians are really unreliable."

Ferdinand I continued to speak after hearing the complaint of the Minister of War. "Now this news is only known to you, me and the Prime Minister, don't spread it out."

"Okay, Your Majesty, I understand the consequences of spreading it out."

Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov is not a fool to know the consequences, and now it seems that he can only fight hard.

Ferdinand I asked him "Do you have any plans for this?"

Hearing the words of the king, Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov recalled the words in his mind. "There's a plan that I thought was too radical and didn't use it."

Ferdinand I said with great joy. "Tell me."

Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov spoke out about the radical plan. "This plan is the same as the current arrangement, but all the machine guns and artillery are concentrated on the front line, and the powerful firepower does not give Serbia a chance to counterattack, and a wave of heavy blows will defeat them. I thought that we would lose a lot by doing this. I refused, and now it seems that we can still afford this plan.”

Hearing the words of the Minister of War, Ferdinand I said it after thinking about it in his mind. "Just follow this plan, concentrate all the heavy firepower on the front line, and defeat them in one wave."

After getting the king's approval, Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov replied. "Okay, Your Majesty, I'll make arrangements now."

Subsequently, various Bulgarian units received a telegram from Lieutenant General Mikhail Savov, the Minister of War, and concentrated their artillery and machine guns to the front assault division, so that a unit equipped with more than 400 artillery pieces and more than 400 machine guns The super division appeared. It is not known whether Serbian troops can withstand the firepower far beyond an era.
