Romanian Eagle

The decision of the two reinforcement commanders did not make them much appreciated by the soldiers. Because a day's rest is only enough for the soldiers to relieve their physical fatigue, and there is absolutely no way to deal with their inner dissatisfaction.

"We are either working hard on this battlefield or being transferred to that battlefield to rescue. I've had enough of this damn day."

"It's the same with me, too many lives have been won in this bad battle. We've already changed a lot of people in our class, Miller, Yale, Carl, Love, etc., remember that Sumen?"

"Of course I remember, isn't that the old guy who is older than the squad leader's military age, and who knows every day that we cherish our lives and nagging, didn't this guy die half a year ago?"

"Yes, this nagging old guy died before. He once said to me in a small talk that before we came, he saw no less than ten comrades killed, some of whom couldn't even find their bodies. arrive."

"It's okay to work hard on the front line. Why have many people died of starvation in their hometown after years of insufficiency, but those powerful nobles don't have to worry about this at all."

In the camp, the two soldiers gradually changed from complaining about the cruelty of the battlefield to talking about social injustice. What's more worrying is that the two soldiers were unscrupulous to vent their dissatisfaction, and no one came to stop them. This shows that this kind of dissatisfaction has become a common phenomenon in the military camp. It is like a dynamite keg placed under high temperature. As long as there is a little accident, it is likely to explode with its due power.

Just then another soldier came over. "The news that Lianli has only come down, let us fix the day here."

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

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

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

Now the officers don't let them go out to relax, which makes the soldiers who are full of anticipation feel a little strange. However, this cannot be blamed on the decision of the officers. 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 theft. And they are currently in the capital Sofia. Too many powerful people here will cause big trouble if they are not good, so for the sake of safety, they can only be confined to the military camp. Unfortunately, there are no tobacco and alcohol items for them to relax.

The soldier who informed the two of them saw their depressed mood 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, and it was boring to stay in the barracks anyway, so they asked casually. "What did the speech say?"

"I don't know this, I also heard from others."

The soldier who reported the letter did not answer the question of the two, but left after saying a word.

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

"Why not? You can't get out of the barracks anyway, and you'll be idle if you're idle."

The two who had nothing to do in the military camp decided to go to Sanlian to see the excitement.

They did what they said, 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 in it at all. Many soldiers surrounded a soldier with glasses and were listening to his speech.

When the two saw this situation, they approached curiously and wanted to hear what was being said here?

After the two approached, they heard the soldier who was speaking using his affectionate language,

said out loud.

"Soldiers, it has been a long time since our motherland joined this war, and we have been fighting the enemy for nearly three years on the battlefield for this reason. Three years is enough for a newborn baby to learn to call his father and mother , but now the victory of the war is getting further and further away from us. Whenever we think of the sacrificed comrades and relatives, we should ask in our hearts whether it is worth it?”

The words of the soldiers who were speaking resonated with everyone, but some soldiers still expressed different opinions. "But it's about taking back our own territory and our fellow citizens that were occupied by our neighbours."

The dissent didn't make the speaking soldier feel that the question was too difficult to answer, but he opened his mouth to answer. "Yes, that's all the government wants us to know. If it's really just to get what belongs to us, then we should negotiate with our neighbors and let the people in those areas decide instead of joining the damn game. Let's shed our blood for it."

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

How do ordinary soldiers know about this issue? The government is most aware of these situations, but it is impossible for the government to inform them when the situation is stable.

Seeing that no one could answer, the soldier speaking directly said. "A lot of people in China have starved to death because of food shortages."

"It's unlikely."

"Is this an exaggeration?"

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

Seeing that the soldiers were a little unconvinced, the soldiers who gave the speech directly said more exciting local news. "My uncle works in the government statistics department. According to the information he learned, in the first half of this year, 57,000 people died of starvation in our country due to famine, most of whom were the elderly and children. The number of people who died of starvation in the second half of this year More to 92,700 people died from various diseases caused by starvation."

Soldiers were taken aback by the reported death toll. In the past, when I communicated with my family, the most I learned was that there was not enough food to eat, and that one or two people in the surrounding neighbors died because of this. Neither of them had an intuitive understanding of the numbers. Now this question is directly and nakedly exposed in front of them, but it makes them not know how to answer.

Seeing the shocked soldiers around, the speaker continued to agitate. "You know the truth now, these are figures that the government dare not disclose. Because while they encourage us to go to the battlefield, they let our families suffer from starvation or even death. And those nobles and powerful people don't have this kind of thing at all. Worry, they have the money to buy all kinds of living materials, even wine from France, tobacco and tea from England. It's not fair that they have no such danger at all when we and our families are fighting for this country. phenomenon, we must fight against this fate.”

Among the soldiers who were excited by the content and atmosphere of the speech, someone responded loudly to his words. "We have to fight this fate."

The soldiers who were driven also shouted. "Fight... fight..."

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

"Peace and bread."

The soldiers who gave the speech were very excited when they saw this situation. He finally let the soldiers vent their dissatisfaction with the government, and things would be easier to do next.

There are more than one such speeches in the military camp. In fact, there are many such people who have sneaked in throughout the military camp. They use various methods to make the soldiers burst out with dissatisfaction with the government. And these people are actually Bulgarian political forces, but they just hold different opinions. Now that the country is facing a critical moment, of course, they want to jump off the broken ship of De Austria, and now is also a very suitable time.

So in the early hours of January 12, 1918, soldiers in the barracks rioted, and they demanded that the government withdraw from the war. This made the Bulgarian government teeter on the back burner.
