Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Chapter 75, Labor Day and Cleaning

After the Battle of Constantinople, the whole country of Bulgaria was relieved, but Ferdinand's work became even busier!

After the victory of the war, there are still a series of aftermath matters that he needs to deal with. Whether it is personnel promotion, post-war resettlement, or casualty compensation, Ferdinand has to personally take care of it! Ferdinand can basically be seen in everything that buys people's hearts.

There are also post-war reconstruction and appointment of officials. Many of these things require Ferdinand's personal instructions;

Now Ferdinand is suffering and happy, or the whole Bulgarian government is like this. On the one hand, I am very happy for the victory of the war, on the other hand, there is endless work every day, piled up like a mountain, and there is no end in sight!

Ferdinand had to rejoice that the blood of Bulgarians is still hot in this era!

Now he has used the bureaucrats as livestock. From the outbreak of the war to the present, many Bulgarian government officials have not returned home once in several months.

And Ferdinand didn't need to pay a penny for overtime, even so, no one raised any objections!

The folks are similar. After the war broke out, Bulgaria was like a war machine, running at high speed!

After several months of high-intensity work, everyone is now physically and mentally exhausted, but a series of good news from the frontline made everyone temporarily forget their fatigue!

Even though the usual work is more tiring and the standard of living has been lowered, the people are still full of laughter and laughter!

After the end of Constantinople, Bulgaria's wartime economic policy was naturally lifted, and colorful commodities once again entered people's lives, and many people were buying them!

The folks also spontaneously organized a series of celebration activities, and patriotic education in various places is unfolding like fire and tea!

In the editorial department of the Bulgarian Daily, the editors are now worried about what activities to organize. As the largest newspaper in Bulgaria, the leader of the press, under the background of the whole people celebrating the victory of the Balkan War, is not far behind!

The editor-in-chief said with a headache: "Now, if you have any ideas, please tell them quickly. This time, anyone can mention it. If it is adopted, the effect will be good, and the bonus will definitely be indispensable!

Our celebration after the victory of the Baosai War last time was ridiculed by colleagues for a long time because it was too old-fashioned. Now thinking about it, my face is still hot!

Anyway, this time,

We can no longer lag behind, this Balkan war is different from the past, it laid the foundation of Bulgaria's great power!

If this celebration is to be meaningful, it has to be deeply educational and it has to show the people's love for Bulgaria! "

Song and dance banquets are excluded first. They are the news media, not the entertainment media, so they will not show their ugliness.

"Poetry, calligraphy and painting", you can have this! Oh, the problem is that they are not good at this. Even though the basic education in Bulgaria is the first in the world, few people have the level of appreciation. Let this be left to the literature club!

"Do you want to organize a patriotic education?"

"No, it is estimated that for a long time recently, there has been a lot of patriotic education all over the country, and there are no bright spots!"

...

"Would you like to organize a voluntary labor?"

"Does this have anything to do with our subject?"

"Why not, use practical actions to support the construction of the country and show the Bulgarian people's love for the country!"

Well, the reasoning is far-fetched, but it was adopted by the Bulgarian daily, at least politically the slogan "Build Bulgaria" is strong!

When Ferdinand found out later, he felt a group of mud horses running wildly in his heart. Isn't this a replica of May Day?

So what about Engels' genuine "May 1 International Labor Day"? wrong! It is still called "International Day of Demonstration", but it has little to do with Ferdinand. In Bulgaria in this era, there is no such popular event!

Surprisingly, the activities planned by the Bulgarian Daily were widely loved by the Bulgarian people as soon as they appeared!

August 15th is the victory day of Bulgaria's defeat of the Ottoman Empire, and the commemoration of the voluntary labor of the whole people is not to publicize to the world that this war was completed with the joint efforts of all Bulgarian people?

Is this voluntary labor, obviously showing off everyone's contributions? Such activities must be participated in, and must be maintained, so that the younger generations will remember our contributions! As a result of a misunderstanding, the August 15th edition of the Bulgarian Labor Day was shockingly released!

Fortunately, the lunar calendar is different from the Gregorian calendar. Otherwise, in later generations, the East is busy celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the West is busy doing voluntary labor. When the two sides collide, the intellectuals don’t know how long they will quarrel!

However, Ferdinand still doesn't care about the folk celebrations. Even the Bulgarian government doesn't have the heart to hold celebrations, mainly because they are too busy!

As soon as the wartime economy is over, the private people will have a holiday, but the government departments should not even think about it. In order to divide the administrative divisions of the newly added territories and related personnel transfers, everyone is about to quarrel!

The impact of administrative division is far-reaching, and it must be considered comprehensively. Economics, culture, and politics must all be involved, and a series of official appointments are also attached!

Now basically all officials in Bulgaria, as long as they pass the performance, they will be promoted. To rule new territories, Bulgaria's bureaucratic system has doubled in size!

There are endless disputes among various government departments, and Ferdinand is also helpless. The times are different and the social background is different. If you copy the administrative divisions of later generations mechanically, you will definitely die miserably!

For the division of administrative districts, Ferdinand only put forward two requirements:

First, regions such as Macedonia, Thrace, Albania, and Kosovo must be split up and reorganized with other regions to gradually dilute these large regional terms;

Second, follow the principle of ethnic mixing, and try not to have a single ethnic group independently become a large region, with the exception of the Bulgarians.

At the same time as the division of administrative divisions, Ferdinand was still planning a secret operation, code-named "Operation Cleanup"!

"Fhoo, has the list been finalized?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, the more than 5,000 people on the list are all people who have expressed opposition to Bulgaria's rule, and some are anarchists, nationalists, republicans, and extreme religionists!" Fhoo replied

Ferdinand nodded, he is not lacking in decisiveness at critical moments! For the sake of long-term peace and stability, Ferdinand adhered to the principle that he would rather kill the wrong than let it go. Anyone on the list is the target of this cleansing!

Maybe there are still many people who are wronged, but who told you that you are cheap, and you just happened to be targeted by the intelligence department?

Ferdinand doesn't have so much energy to verify it now. Once the military control is over, it will be difficult to eliminate these hidden dangers!

In fact, this batch of lists is already the third time. During the war, Ferdinand had ordered the army to carry out two larger-scale sweeps. Basically, the more active anti-security elements have already received their lunch boxes. !

In fact, Ferdinand also knew that the current "big cleaning" is a bit too much, and the judging criteria are even more child's play!

For example: Needless to say, the henchmen of the Ottoman Empire were the first to be eliminated;

Those with random thoughts such as nationalism, extreme religiousism, republicanism, and anarchism are the focus of the second batch of elimination;

Those who have obvious political inclinations, are not from Bulgaria, hope for autonomy, and have expressed dissatisfaction with Bulgaria are the focus of the third batch of purges;

There are also large-scale landlords, big capitalists, and compradors from various countries. Unfortunately, they are also on the list. Who told the Bulgarian government to be poor?

Of course, the big capitalists, big landlords, and compradors of the big powers in this era all have blood in their hands. If you check a lot of black history, Ferdinand is not afraid of wronging anyone!

"Now that the war is over, you should be more careful in your actions, and the garrisons in various places will cooperate with you.

If you can use Yang Mou, try to use Yang Mou to find criminal evidence and deal with them openly, which will have a much greater impact than dealing with other methods!

If not, you can create evidence, or borrow a bandit's knife. In short, you can't do it in the name of the intelligence department, otherwise it will easily cause trouble! "

"Yes!" Fuhu

Except for the second batch, who were issued a death order, the other people were expelled from Bulgaria, which is the most important way to deal with them. Not so many people were actually executed, otherwise it would have caused a sensation!

With an order, Ferdinand stopped paying attention. Anyway, this is the 19th century. Before the division of administrative districts was completed, all of them were under military control. It was difficult to send a message out!

Compared with other areas, the First Army is struggling. It has just captured Constantinople, and there are still a large number of wounded in its hands. Now it is necessary to check the "deserters" of the Ottoman army, yes, "deserters"!

The Istanbul area is densely populated and economically prosperous. Although it has just been devastated by the war, the foundation is still there. If you don't find a reasonable reason, it will easily cause adverse effects and hinder economic recovery!

Petrov said depressedly: "Why are there so many chaotic parties on our side? This time there are more than 3,000 people. When will it be the top? Sometimes I really want to kill them directly!"

The husband smiled and said: "Come on! This is probably the last batch. If you are not afraid of being called a butcher general, go for it! Don't worry, their lives are worthless, and they won't go to court-martial." !"

Petrov laughed and said: "Forget it! Now our reputation is not very good. I don't know how many soldiers secretly call us two "cold-blooded generals". I guess it won't work!"

The husband smiled and said: "Okay, no kidding! These are trivial matters, not worthy of your chief of staff's attention. Have our casualties been counted? It has been urged several times in China!

The soldiers below are all waiting to get promoted and get rich. I just left the army, and a lot of people asked me, when will their rewards be issued? "

Petrov also restrained his smile, and said with a heavy heart: "It has been calculated, our loss this time is very heavy! This is probably the biggest loss since the founding of Bulgaria!

If Constantinople hadn't been conquered successfully, we would have no face to go back to meet the elders in our hometown! "

The husband nodded and said, "Stop expressing emotion, report to the country quickly, all we can do now is to fight for a generous pension for them!"
