Romanian Eagle

Eder still doesn't know what the two daring fellows did, but Romania's neighbors are having a hard time, so he knows it.

Compared with the thriving Romania, Bulgaria is so sad.

As the initiator of the Balkan War and the Allied camp of World War I, Bulgaria has had a lot of hardships in recent years. Especially after the end of World War I, life in Bulgaria became even more difficult.

In particular, the "Peace of Neuilly" about the defeat in World War I made Bulgaria even worse. According to the terms of the Treaty of Neuilly, Bulgaria was required to cede northwestern Macedonia to the Kingdom of Serbia, and half of Thessaloniki and Western Thrace to Greece. The loss of Thessaloniki and Western Thrace left Bulgaria without access to the Aegean Sea.

This clause cost Bulgaria 21% of its territory and 24% of its population. More importantly, the Aegean coast is a rich area. After being ceded to Greece, it will be a heavy blow to Bulgaria's economy.

In addition, Bulgaria also needs to make financial compensation to both countries. Among them, Bulgaria needs to compensate the Kingdom of Serbia with food and materials worth 150 million US dollars, and Greece also needs to make 170 million US dollars in compensation for food and materials. The compensation period is 15 years.

In addition, in order to limit Bulgaria's armed forces to prevent it from threatening neighboring countries, the Bulgarian army was also limited to 30,000 people.

In the face of the numerous clauses imposed on him, the Bulgarian economy, which was already unable to support it, completely collapsed. Its currency unit, the lev's exchange rate, Alexander Jankov, fell from 1 to 1 Romanian leu in 1905 to 1.54 to 1 before World War I. After the end of World War I, the exchange rate between Lev and Lei dropped to 15.47 to 1, and the signing of the Treaty of Neuilly made Lev drop to 24.15 to 1.

During this period, the savings of a large number of Bulgarians vanished, making Bulgaria a little turbulent. The collapse of the domestic financial system has bankrupted a large number of factories, and workers are completely out of work. The food and other agricultural products needed for compensation have greatly reduced the income of farmers. Many farmers are insolvent and can only wander in the countryside and cities. Unemployed workers and peasants have caused the deterioration of the law and order. This year, the crime rate in Bulgaria has increased by 246%, which has caused the concern of the propertied class.

The deteriorating economic security situation in Bulgaria has caused many people to vent their dissatisfaction. Alexander Zhankov, the prime minister, has been accused by many people of being inappropriate in private.

In addition to accusing the government of misconduct, the Bulgarian people also found that there was a good place, that is, the former Bulgarian territory occupied by Romania. There are still 300,000 to 400,000 Bulgarians living on this 20,000-square-kilometer land (some are smuggled in by the outbreak of war, and some are forced by life).

These Bulgarians in Romania are currently enjoying Romania's war dividends. Many of their politicians were sent to new territories, and merchants made money there. Although ordinary people are slightly worse, the construction of new territories still makes them rich.

Because it was ceded by Romania for a short time (less than ten years), the connection with Bulgaria was not blocked. Therefore, the living conditions, public security conditions, and economic situation in the region are continuously presented to the Bulgarian domestic people.

Compared with the chaos in their own country and the living conditions of Bulgarians in neighboring countries, many Bulgarians feel lost. Originally, in their opinion, these Bulgarians who remained in Romania should be oppressed, always expecting the motherland to restore them (Bulgarian domestic newspapers also have a credit).

It is a pity that these Bulgarians in Romania live better than themselves and earn more than themselves. Even in politics, they have the same power as Romania, and they are not oppressed. How could this not disappoint them.

After comparing the two sides, some people became angry and tried to make Bulgaria regain its position in the Balkans. Some people yearn for it, wishing to be a Romanian citizen.

We don't care about those strong Bulgarians, but these longing Bulgarians have aroused some people's ideas. (Don't think that the habits of a nation will never change. There are many people who use economic interests to lure people to change. It is not a joke that there is no way to betray the country.)

In Tarnovo, a city that once fought against Romania, some people quietly held a party here.

In the Vokory district of Tarnovo, where the Bulgarian middle class lives mainly.

The name Borks is relatively well-known in Tarnovo. Because he published several articles in local newspapers that pointed directly at the government's shortcomings, his sharp writing and slightly humorous style made many people like to read his articles. And he also became a little-known intellectual in the region, and by doing so he barely counted as a cultural celebrity.

At his home today, a small cultural salon is also underway to celebrate his return from travel. Those who can participate in his cultural salons and cultural celebrities he does not participate in much, also like to criticize the government's misconduct.

"Everyone, thank you for participating in this cultural salon. Here, I hope everyone can speak freely and seek a better tomorrow for Bulgaria."

As the owner, Borks took the lead in toasting and said the opening remarks.

"No problem, who doesn't know that Borks' cultural salon is the most free."

"That's right."

Under the leadership of others, the others present spoke up.

After a glass of wine, someone said, "How was your trip, Borks?"

"Yes, only by looking around can you see the gap between us and others."

After sitting down in a comfortable way, Borks began to talk about his experience. "I drove all the way to Constanta by car, and only after crossing the border did I realize the huge gap between Bulgaria and Romania. In Romania, peasants basically use machinery. As far as I know, the peasants who use machinery are alone 3-5 hectares can be cultivated, which is many times more than Bulgaria.”

At this time someone said: "That's not because the food in Romania is cheaper."

"Yes, domestic food prices in Romania are 5-10% lower than in Bulgaria."

After answering someone's question, Borques continued: "You think, Romanian food is cheaper than Bulgaria, which can make people's lives better. And their workers' wages are much higher than ours."

Seeing that his friends were attracted by his topic, Borks was even more proud to share his knowledge. "A skilled worker in Romania can earn 160-180 lei per month, and one person can meet the needs of a family before he earns it, which is much better than ours. And Romania's public transportation is also very developed and very cheap. Ordinary people can ride. If you are early in the morning, you can see a lot of people waiting on the platform for these vehicles. These public transportation vehicles connect every part of the city and shorten the distance between them.”

As Borks spoke, the latest Romanian situation kept coming up in front of them. Especially hearing that Romania has not only newspapers, radio, but also various cultural events. And in Borquez's story, he also participated in several Romanian cultural salons, and those Romanian celebrities were very polite to him.

In short, in his words, Romania's performance is thriving, the economy is dynamic, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the soldiers defend their homes and the country. Newspapers are filled with job postings, and every now and then you'll find an article on Romania's new all-time high.

It just makes them yearn physically and mentally, and they can't wait to travel in person and write down these experiences for the public to see.
