Chapter 33
In the Royal Palace of Sofia, Ferdinand is drinking tea leisurely. Tea has become his living habit.
At this time, a maid who was about sixteen or seventeen years old came over, with a round oval face, dark eyes, and a youthful and lively atmosphere all over her body.
Grand Duke, Mr. Fuhu is here!
Oh, Alice, bring him here! said Ferdinand lazily.
Alice said playfully: Yes, Archduke!
Anyone who is familiar with Ferdinand knows that in ordinary life he is very easy-going and has no air.
You can even joke and chat with the maid on an equal footing, and the young Alice is not afraid of him at all.
In an instant, Fuhu came to Ferdinand.
Fu Huqiang said calmly: Your Excellency, the fruit is already ripe!
It can be seen that he is very excited now. Although he has worked hard to pretend to be calm, the change between his eyebrows has still betrayed him.
Ferdinand said happily: Okay! Mr. Fuhu, you have done a good job this time, and you can move on to the next step!
Yes, Your Excellency! We are now negotiating the price with the hirelings! Fuhu said cautiously
Ferdinand's brows changed slightly, then he stretched out again and said with a smile: Then go and do your work, I'll wait for your good news!
The situation in Bulgaria was already dangerous, and Ferdinand had to be careful at this point.
For fear of being negligent for a while, the rumors leaked, which made Stam's cabinet aware of it, and all efforts were abandoned.
From Fuhu's report just now, Ferdinand knew that the preliminary plan had been completed, and that the Stam government was about to end.
However, the wooing of the army has only been completed. It is normal to think about it. The news of the massacre has not yet spread, and the military is not in a hurry to stand in line now.
Presumably when the news spreads, unless it is a diehard, everyone else will make the right choice. After all, few people are willing to be buried with Stam's cabinet government and stand on the opposite side of the Bulgarian people.
In fact, the Stam government's control of the army is not very tight, and most of the middle and lower-level officers and ordinary soldiers are not interested in them.
This created an opportunity for Ferdinand. Talking about ideals with lower-level officers and discussing treatment with ordinary soldiers was an established routine, and it was often unfavorable.
The military has its own system, and it is difficult for outsiders to reach it. But this is not a problem, Ferdinand still has the Guards, and he is justifiably controlled by him.
After nearly two consecutive years of brainwashing, now the recent army is Ferdinand's die-hard loyalists, and the diehards have long since been retired. They are Ferdinand's weapon to win over the military.
The Guards have always been paid adequately, and in times of financial difficulties, Ferdinand had paid for it himself, so the morale of the officers and soldiers was always high. Often inadvertently propaganda for Ferdinand, increasing his prestige in the army.
Since Ferdinand came to the throne, the Guard is the most envied place of ordinary Bulgarian soldiers. Although the military salaries are the same, the standard of food is higher, and Ferdinand has promised to retire.
Before someone was injured in training and was forced to retire, Ferdinand was placed in the factory. Enjoying the preferential treatment of retired military personnel and receiving the same wages as ordinary workers, they only need to work eight hours a day, and they will be paid overtime.
It is really enviable. In fact, Ferdinand also submitted a draft of Preferential Treatment of Veterans to Congress and was mocked by Stam's cabinet.
The Congress, which represents the interests of the bourgeoisie, naturally rejected it without hesitation. It doesn't matter if the high-level officers are, anyway, their treatment is high enough, and the ordinary soldiers have long scolded the Congress.
Now Fuhu's target is Sofia's garrison commander - Sava Mutkurov. As long as he is settled, there will be no doubt that Stam's cabinet will fall.
Sava Mutkurov, who had just suppressed a riot,
Now busy thinking about the aftermath. An uninvited guest walked in and acted in front of him, and it was Fuhu.
In order to solve the final hidden danger, Fuhu decided to go out in person. If Sava-Mutkurov chose to refuse, Fuhu would have to send him to God.
In fact, if it wasn't for Sava-Mutkurov's high prestige in the army, killing him would easily make the military mournful, and Fuhu would have dealt with him long ago.
Sava Mutkurov looked at Fuhu and asked suspiciously, Who are you? How did you get in?
Before Fuhu could answer, he called out the door again: Guard! Guard! Get this rude bastard out of here!
Fuhu smiled and said: Mr. Savoie, please calm down, since I can come in and sit, naturally I'm done!
Who are you? Sava Mutkurov forcibly suppressed his anger
Fuhu still said with a smile: Introduce yourself first, I'm going to Fuhu. By order of Grand Duke Ferdinand, I'm here to visit Your Excellency Savoy!
What? The Archduke's order? You are lying. Your Excellency the Archduke is looking for me. Wouldn't you send someone to directly call me to the palace, and you need to hide your head and show your tail! Sava Mutkurov said with a sneer
Fuhu ignored his rudeness and asked: Then Your Excellency Sava thinks, besides Your Excellency the Archduke, who else in Bulgaria can make the soldiers outside disobey your orders?
Sava-Mutkurov thinks about it and it is true. He is the spokesperson of the Liberal Party army. Fuhu cannot be a Liberal Party; if the opposition party had such great energy, the uprising would have been successful long ago.
Then Mr. Fuhu, what does the Grand Duke need from me? After confirming Fuhu's identity, Sava Mutkurov spoke a lot more politely.
Fuhu still said with a smile: Mr. Sava must also know the recent actions of the cabinet, and some of them have gone against the grain, and they have lost their hearts!
Sava-Mutkurov retorted: Mr. Fuhu is serious. The cabinet's recent actions are indeed a bit inappropriate, but it has not yet reached this point!
Fuhu looked at him and said seriously: Mr. Savoie may not know, just last night, a horrific event happened in Bulgaria!
Sava-Mutkurov smiled and said casually: Oh, isn't it just an opposition riot? It has been suppressed by me!
Fuhu said solemnly: No, Mr. Savoie, it is ten times more serious than this!
Hearing this, Sava Mutkurov straightened his body and asked suspiciously, What's the matter?
Fuhu said with a gloomy expression: Last night, the cabinet ordered the execution of the arrested opposition parties. We don't know who they are! But just outside Sofia, there are thousands of corpses!
Sava-Mutkurov exclaimed: What? Are you sure, Mr. Fuhu? Is the cabinet crazy?
Fuhu said with certainty: Yes, Mr. Savoie's cabinet may be really insane. To execute so many people without a court trial is a blatant slaughter!
Sava Mutkurov asked a little lost: What's the plan of this... Your Excellency the Grand Duke?
