Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Chapter 138, The Crisis Comes

The Home Secretary sighed and said, "Now they have no plans to fill the river, otherwise there would not be only a few prisoners acting like they are!

In the short term, the Bulgarians should not take such extreme measures!

If a flood was artificially created, the Austro-Hungarian Empire would not be able to explain it first, and the international public opinion would not be so easy to pass! The Bulgarians don't do this unless it's the last minute!

However, the small actions of the Bulgarians have made us suffer, and now the water flowing through Belgrade is polluted!

It is not drinkable at all, even if we have organized manpower to dig wells in the whole city, it is still a drop in the bucket!

In order to save water, we have now banned a series of non-essential water such as bathing and washing clothes!

But it still cannot solve the problem of water shortage. Can the Ministry of Finance allocate funds first to buy water from Bulgarians? First aid! "

The Minister of Finance said with a wry smile: "The Bulgarians have lost their money, we have already bought their sky-high grain and coal, and now we have to buy sky-high water!

Now the army outside the city also said that if we don't have cash, they can accept physical offsets! Whether it is gold and silver jewelry, diamond necklaces, antiques, or industrial equipment, as long as there is something valuable, they will accept it! "

The Minister of War said angrily: "Bulgarians can't use such means to make us submit! We Serbs are not soft persimmons, and we can't let them handle it!"

However, the words of the Minister of War obviously have no weight! Since the defeat of the war, he has been excluded from the core of decision-making!

Alexander I sneered and said: "So what? In this war, our Serbia was completely defeated! If our army was a little bit more competitive, even if it only won a small victory, the situation would not be so bad!"

Alexander's dissatisfaction with the military has reached its peak! The military has always been a self-contained system, and since he succeeded to the throne, he has never been taken seriously!

Well, since the military doesn't give face, no wonder he's being rude! Alexander I also reciprocated and cooperated with the government to suppress the army!

The repeated failures of the army now prove that it is correct to advocate military reform! But it was too late, and he had to wipe his ass for the military's failure!

If it doesn't work out, we have to bear the blame for the failure of this war. Whether it is really the blame or not, let's leave it aside. Anyway, Alexander I thought it was.

The Minister of Finance sighed and said, "It's too late to say anything now, the key now is to find a way to end this war as soon as possible! There are more than 200,000 people in the city who are pointing us to eat? We can't afford it! "

The Home Secretary took the words of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and said with a bit of laughter: "That's right! The prisons are overcrowded now, and many people have been arrested for deliberate crimes in order to eat and drink; some even bribed the police with money to get them in!!

The food reserves of the residents in the city are almost consumed now. If it continues, we will have to distribute relief food!

And we only have so much left in the reserves. If it is dedicated to the army, we can last for more than half a month. If we want to distribute relief food, one week is the limit!

As for the food outside the city, it has already fallen into the hands of the Bulgarians. Even if the food can be transported from other places, there is not much left in Belgrade! "

Suddenly, the finance minister's expression changed, as if he had thought of something, and hesitantly said: "You~ you said, are the Bulgarians deliberately delaying the negotiation time for the purpose of looting Serbia's wealth~!"

Everyone's face changed greatly, there is really such a possibility!

Selling sky-high prices directly to the Serbian government is much more efficient than robbing it yourself!

And do not need to bear the blame of morality and international public opinion,

And the Serbian government has to cooperate. After all, more than 200,000 people in the city still have to live!

Now Serbia is the meat on the bricks and can only be slaughtered by others! Serbia has to pay a heavy price for every extra day of delay!

...

Unparalleled blessings, misfortunes do not come singly!

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there is white, there is black! Serbs can't all be selfless patriots, at least not the capitalists!

Since the siege of the Bulgarian city, the price of goods in the city has soared, and the capitalists don't care if they make hard money!

In order to get supplies, everyone is terrifying to use various means! Anyway, in Belgrade, where supplies are in short supply, there is no shortage of supplies in the market!

Klin-Witch's petty officer who manages strategic materials is usually a dispensable little transparency!

However, when the Bulgarian came, he immediately became hot, and people who didn't even look at him in the first place would now give him a smile!

There is no reason for it, just because he can come up with the materials that are currently in short supply on the market!

At this time in Belgrade, the old order has collapsed, and in the face of hunger, the ugly face of human nature is exposed!

Spend a piece of bread, and you can take a beautiful girl with beautiful branches and go back for the night! wrong! It should be said that she was a beautiful girl who used to be flamboyant. Since the problem of the water source, everyone has become stinky!

However, this has nothing to do with Clint-Vitch. With the materials in his hands, he can easily get enough water for domestic use and live a more luxurious life than usual!

Assholes have never existed on their own, and Klein-Vitch is just one of them!

At the beginning, Klein-Vitch was timid, and just secretly took some supplies to improve his and his family's life. Gradually, relatives and friends came to ask for help. In the past, he looked down on others, but now he has to come to please him.

For example, his beautiful niece, just for some cheese and bread, obediently gave herself to him! Another example is ~~~

Then Clint-Vitch's concept changed, why didn't he take this opportunity to make a fortune, knowing that after this village, there will be no such shop again!

And then I hooked up with the capitalists, and it was out of control! The appetite is getting bigger and bigger, no matter what materials, sell it first!

Clint - Veitch's pockets are getting more and more bulging, and soon disaster strikes! The strategic material reserve is still highly valued by the higher authorities. With the connections made during this time, Klin-Vitch got the news in advance!

Of course, it's not just him who will be unlucky together! No one is cleaner than the officials in charge of material management!

Once the problem is found out, there is no doubt that it must be the end of the head! So under the series, an undercurrent is brewing in Belgrade!

On the eve of the major inspection, a large-scale riot finally broke out in Belgrade City. The mob raided many warehouses overnight, and caused a large-scale fire, burning down several warehouses where food was stacked!

Of course, this can only deceive the young Alexander I. Everyone knows that the grain depots are heavily armed at this time. How could they be burned by a few mob?

Since ancient times, the reasons for the burning of grain depots are mostly two, one is theft by guards and burying criminal evidence; the other is that the enemy was attacked and set fire to the grain depot!

Otherwise, the heavily guarded granary will not have enough firelights around, and the food will not be burned in an instant!

There is no doubt that this was not done by the Bulgarians! But what happened, the Serbian cabinet officials pretended not to see it. At this time, it is not suitable for internal investigation!

As for why there is no deeper level, I don't know! Anyway, at this moment, no one will take care of it!
