The news that Pleven had been captured by the Romanian army brought Sofia into chaos.

Prime Minister Radoslav, as the head of the government, immediately convened a meeting of high-level officials to discuss the response.

"Chief of Staff, haven't the soldiers outside the city changed their minds?"

At the beginning of the meeting, Prime Minister Radoslav immediately asked Lieutenant General Ivanov, who was the chief of the general staff.

As Lieutenant General Ivanov who drove back to Sofia from Thessaloniki overnight, he shook his head and said. "I have only been to the military camp outside the city, and the situation is not optimistic. The soldiers are more emotional, and the words of cessation of the war are preached everywhere in the military camp. Even if these soldiers are reorganized, it is difficult to continue fighting, and it will take a long time. Just fix it."

The words of Lieutenant General Ivanov made Prime Minister Radoslav very unwilling, and he asked without giving up. "Can Lieutenant General Kudinchev reorganize the army and fight again?"

Prime Minister Radoslav was afraid that Lieutenant General Ivanov would not understand, and quickly gave the reasons for doing so. "As long as we can stop the Romanians for five days, we can get reinforcements. The reinforcements from Turkey can take over the army in Thessaloniki, and General Zekov will be able to bring the army back to Sofia. We have the strength to fight the Romanians. In addition, according to the news sent back from Germany, the German-Austrian coalition can also arrive within ten days, so we still have a chance.”

In the face of Prime Minister Radoslav's words of encouragement, Lieutenant General Ivanov, as the chief of staff, could not bear to attack him. But he has to make it clear to government officials, even though the result may not be what they expected.

"Prime Minister, Lieutenant General Kudinchev's Sixth Army currently has less than half of its staff and is seriously lacking in machine guns, artillery and other weapons and equipment. More importantly, the Romanian army has been sending elite troops to keep attacking, allowing him There was no time to reorganize the troops. Now that the 6th Army was on the verge of collapse, it really had no ability to stop the Romanians."

Ivanov's words made Prime Minister Radoslav feel a little depressed, and he muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear. "how so."

Then he asked. "Chief of Staff, is there no other way to stop the enemy's footsteps?"

In the face of the Prime Minister's inquiry, Lieutenant General Ivanov shook his head and said. "There is no other way at the moment. The only possibility now is to allow reinforcements from neighboring countries to quickly arrive in Thessaloniki, so that the troops can be dispatched to return to Sofia. But in this case, it is necessary to arrange troops in Sofia to stand guard."

Ivanov's words immediately aroused huge repercussions.

"That won't work."

"It's not a good idea to stay in Sofia."

"Can't we change the place?"

Listening to the voices of disapproval, even Ivanov, who proposed the idea, knew how bad the decision was. These people are not opposed to the destruction of the capital in the defense of Sofia, but that there is currently no hope of victory. Although Germany and Austria had already defeated Russia, on the most important western front, the German army did not play a big role in the offensive of the British and French troops on the western front. At present, it has only reached the front of the Marne River.

However, compared to the last time when faced with a panic attack by the German army, this time the French government directly announced that even if the German army captured Paris, the French people would never yield. This not only made Hindenburg and Ludendorff who commanded the operation feel a little bad, but also disappointed the Bulgarians who had hoped for this, and their desire to withdraw from the war had been dashed.

In fact, before Romania declared war, a consensus was reached in Bulgaria. That is, this war has done too much harm to Bulgaria, so Bulgaria has always hoped to withdraw from the war peacefully. However, it is a pity that neither Deo, who pulled it into the camp, nor the opposing Britain and France are willing to let Bulgaria become their wish. Not to mention Serbia and Greece, which have territorial disputes with him.

But now faced with both sides attacked by Romania and the Entente, Bulgaria is divided. Among them, the people headed by Prime Minister Radoslav planned to stand up to the attack from both sides, and asked the Allies to help themselves. They pinned their hopes on the Entente and could not afford to consume casualties and Germany and Austria.

The other group is dominated by opposition parties. They propose that Bulgaria can no longer fight, and they can take the lead in signing a treaty with the Entente to withdraw from the war. Because Bulgaria was the first country to withdraw from the war, in order to leave room for negotiation between Germany and Austria, Britain and France would definitely not make Bulgaria lose too much.

The two groups of people have their own opinions and neither can convince the other, so their approach is also different in the face of this crisis.

In the barracks outside the city, the soldiers who refused to fight were sitting together, and a middle-aged man dressed in plain and neat clothes was giving a speech to the soldiers on the platform. "Soldiers, your desire to get out of the war is not overdone at all, and the government should not ignore your desires. Here we need to let them know that the demands of the people must be met and this war should not happen. Now must be let The government has made a decision, we cannot continue to sit here and wait, and now for the government to know our call, they must answer."

The atmosphere at the scene caused some of the soldiers to shout loudly. "The government has to answer, we're out of the war."

Seeing that the atmosphere was warm, the middle-aged people who gave the speech also took the lead in shouting. "Peace not war."

This sentence immediately detonated the scene, and everyone was shouting. "Peace not war."

"What if the government doesn't promise us?"

"Change the government."

Slowly, the soldier's emotions were guided by the speaker, and the person who was watching was very satisfied and said to the person next to him. "Now that the soldiers are in a good mood, they will turn to dissatisfaction with the government and the prime minister. You need to cooperate more with the people. Let them have sympathy for the soldiers, so that the German puppet can be removed, Bulgaria. It is no longer possible to stay on the broken ship of the Barrel Allies."

The speaker seemed very dissatisfied with Prime Minister Radoslav, and even used a puppet. However, the people around him agreed with his words very much, and only the person next to him nodded and replied.

"Rest assured, no one wants that person to remain prime minister."

It seems that there are still many people who are dissatisfied with Prime Minister Radoslav. They can't suppress their inner thoughts and are eager to let the Prime Minister step down.

The current situation makes them think that it is not difficult to pull the prime minister out of office. What needs to be considered is how to stop the war with the Allies. This requires them to exert their talents to help their motherland avoid the liquidation from Britain and France.
