Bulgarian Empire

In the evening, a man in Tsing Yi walked into an alley in a panic and knocked on the courtyard door.

"Oh, God bless you, Tom, you didn't get caught! Come in, this is not the place to talk!" After speaking, he put the man in Tsing Yi inside, put his head out and looked around again, then closed the door.

"Don't worry~ Coulomb, I came here secretly, no one knows!" Tom said after heaving a sigh of relief

"Oh, that's good, now the police in Sofia are crazy, arresting rebels everywhere! Your newspaper office is not closed, I heard that a lot of people have been arrested, I thought you were also arrested, it's okay to see you. Well, may God bless you!" Coulomb said excitedly

"Don't mention it, I think only God knows what's going on! The police suddenly shut down the newspaper and took the editor-in-chief. I happened to be interviewing outside and escaped!" Tom explained

"Oh, God bless you! But how have you been living these days?" Coulomb continued.

"Of course I'm hiding at home! You know, even if there is any problem, a small fish like me is not eligible for a wanted order, and is mostly forgotten."

"I came to find you tonight, just to ask about the wind. Coulomb, you are my best friend, and you work in the government. You must know what's going on!" Tom said at first self-deprecating, and then looked at Coulomb expectantly.

Coulomb smiled bitterly, lowered his voice and said, "I don't know very well. The above suddenly ordered to arrest the rebels! Many newspapers have been closed down. I guess it has something to do with your report a while ago!"

"By the way, you'd better hide and come out when the wind blows over! There are too many people arrested now, and the police can't take care of you. You should leave Sofia tomorrow and go back to your hometown in the countryside to hide!"

Tom jumped up excitedly and said in disbelief, "Oh, God! How is this possible?"

...

Since Stam's cabinet took action, Bulgaria has entered a "silent period" and Sofia has been under martial law for more than a month.

The police were constantly dispatched to seal down newspaper offices and printing plants, and set up roadblocks in the streets to check newspapers shipped to various places.

There are many pond fishes like Tom who have been affected. Coulomb was right. Too many people were caught. The police couldn't take care of a small fish like Tom.

As long as they are not caught on the spot, they are basically forgotten, and the prison in Sofia is already overcrowded.

The government's reckless actions, people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out, slipped through the net of opposition party members, and were forced to go underground.

What Ferdinand did not expect was that Stam's cabinet had done so neatly this time that the opposition party had no resistance.

The government quickly arrested the opposition, and at the same time confiscated a large number of property, the total amount was as high as hundreds of millions of leva.

In addition to the previous loan, the funds needed for the five-year plan were gathered in a comical way.

Ferdinand didn't know whether to rejoice or worry.

It suddenly germinated, why don't you just let the cabinet continue to toss? He dismissed this terrifying thought immediately. If the cabinet continues to toss, God knows when it will reach the limit that the people can bear?

If the situation gets out of control, a civil war breaks out, and another wave of foreign enemies invades, who the hell can get it except God!

Although the plan went well, Stam Borof still had a headache. Many people in the Liberal Party have expressed their dissatisfaction with this matter, which has put a lot of pressure on him.

Externally, he can be decisive, but he has to appease his own people. Due to the large number of people involved, there is an endless stream of people who plead with Stam-Bolov.

And the specific person in charge, Yunas, is now the spokesperson for the executioner. However, Yunas, who is in power, doesn't care. He has surpassed the other three in the cabinet and is the second person after Prime Minister Stam.

At the new cabinet meeting, Michael said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister,

The enemy has been cleared almost. Is it time to end martial law and the country needs to get back to normal! "

"Mr. Michael, the enemy is almost cleaned up, but there are still fish that slipped through the net. We must make persistent efforts to find them all and eliminate them!" Yunas retorted sharply.

"Minister Yunas, you have already arrested more than 20,000 people, which is almost 1% of our population. Do you want to continue?" Wilson said angrily.

"But they are all enemies, aren't they? Don't you just see the bad side, there's also the good side! Although it has a great impact on the economy, haven't we already collected the funds needed for our five-year plan? A group of national assholes have been solved, the financial crisis has been solved, and a group of free labor has been added, so why not do it?" Sowell said optimistically

Stam-Bolov knew that the quarrel of several people also involved their own interests. Now everyone is no longer a passionate patriot. Under the erosion of power, they have begun to overdo it to politicians in a short period of time.

Under the emergency policy, economic development was greatly affected, mainly because the voice of the Ministry of Economy and Industry in the government was weakened. Michael and Wilson had to come out against it.

On the other hand, Yunas and Sowell are the exact opposite. In this case, they hold the power. Once the normal state is restored, it will inevitably make way for the development of the country, and their right to speak will be greatly reduced. They need to extend this period for their own benefit.

Stam-Bolov can't do anything about it either, and although he's a politician himself, that doesn't mean he likes politicians. Stop saying:

"Okay, stop arguing! The cleaning work is still well done, which is worthy of recognition! You also know that this state of affairs cannot continue indefinitely!"

"I'll give you a month to catch all those rats, then lift martial law, and the country will return to normal!"

...

At the end of 1888, the martial law in Bulgaria was finally lifted. No one could have imagined that Sofia had just lifted the ban, and the opposition party made another big news.

On Christmas Day 1889, Stam-Bolov was attacked in front of the mansion, and Stam narrowly escaped. But three of the entourage were killed on the spot and several others were injured.

More importantly, after the shooting, the five killers, in addition to leaving behind a body of corpses, actually let the other murderers run away. Prime Minister Stam Bolov was furious, and someone else was in for bad luck.

At the same time, other high-ranking government officials were also patronized. Defense Secretary Sowell, one of the unlucky ones, was shot three times and was resuscitating. One of the shots just hit his balls, which was considered a waste.

Even more bizarre is the Minister of Finance Christo Belchev, an empty minister who has no sense of presence in the government. On his way home, he encountered the police and assassins, was crushed by the frightened carriage, and then heroically die a martyr.

In the original time and space, Christopher Belchev was also an unlucky person. In March 1891, he was mistakenly killed by Assassins for Stam Boroff. Now, due to Ferdinand's butterfly effect, I received a lunch in advance.

This night was later known as "Bloody Christmas Eve". Dozens of high-ranking officials were attacked at the same time, causing hundreds of casualties and direct economic losses of hundreds of thousands of levs.

The peace of Christmas Eve was broken. Sofia's military and police were all dispatched, and the whole city of Sofia was disturbed.
