Mediterranean Hegemony Road

On the fifth day of the end of the battle in Constantinople, on August 20, 897, Ferdinand finally received the final casualty statistics report!

The numbers are startling:

1st Guards Division, 347 casualties, including 5 dead and 87 severely disabled

Infantry Division 1, 284 casualties, including 58 dead and 8 severely disabled

Eighth Infantry Division with 32 casualties, including 827 dead and 8 disabled

...

The first five main divisions of the First Army, each with no less than one regiment, and four B-class divisions also suffered heavy casualties. In addition, several additional divisions that were transferred later, the total casualties was as high as 38,000. I!

Seeing this number, Ferdinand's heart was almost out! Fortunately, medical care is well done, and most of the wounded can still recover.

Of course, this is good. For the 9th century, Bulgarian field hospitals used a large amount of the original disinfectant solution-phytic acid, and also prepared a lot of alcohol to clean the wounds, which effectively inhibited the wounds from purulent!

As for western medicine, in this era, it was still too expensive, and the effect was not very good, and the side effects were great.

Ferdinand knew that for the wounded on the battlefield, the biggest problem was not the efficacy of the medicine, but the availability of medicine! ..

For this reason Ferdinand also sent someone to buy a batch of Chinese medicine in Manqing! People in this era are still better off. In order to allow soldiers to accept Chinese medicine, Ferdinand also led by example and personally advertised Chinese medicine!

In fact, when I was angry, I drank a bowl of boiled yellow lotus! It is mainly this one that he is familiar with, knowing that this safety has no future troubles!

But this is enough. In the eyes of ordinary people, the king can drink. What are we afraid of?

The purchased medicinal materials include Cork, Scutellaria baicalensis, Huanglian, Honeysuckle, Houttuynia cordata, Forsythia, Banlangen, Bupleurum and other well-known ones. By the way, a few street langues were dispensed!

Of course, Ferdinand also knows that the damage caused by bullets and cannonballs on the battlefield is really not very effective, but there is no way to just use it. Anyway, it can calm the army!

In the sight of the Boer War, the British could not provide sufficient medicine for soldiers, let alone Bulgaria?

Now it seems that the results of this series of efforts are not bad. Most of the wounded soldiers still saved their lives. Compared with the period of the Poser War, the survival rate has been greatly improved!

Among the total casualties of more than 38,000 troops in the First Army, only 484 were killed and 24 seriously injured and disabled, and the proportion was successfully controlled within one sixth!

The ten newly created temporary divisions are miserable. Due to the lack of sufficient training, they were hurried to the battlefield and assumed the same combat intensity as the main division. Risk!

A temporary division with 588 casualties, of which 074 died and 28 were seriously injured and disabled

Temporary Second Division, 487 casualties, including 99 dead and 39 disabled

...

The total number of ten temporary divisions reached 58,000, and the number of casualties reached a staggering 53,700, of which the number of deaths was as high as .34 million, and the number of seriously injured and disabled was as high as .80,000!

The number of casualties has exceeded one third, and the temporary division has not collapsed. I have to say that the interests are moving!

The number of deaths did not exceed one-tenth that had been promised in advance, but if the number of seriously injured people was added, this proportion had reached a staggering one-fifth!

The main reason for this phenomenon is the rescue work on the battlefield. Due to the untimely rescue, many serious wounded died directly, and many lightly wounded were turned into severely wounded!

After all, in the 9th century, once a large area of ​​wounds thickened, it would be fatal, and those with injured limbs would be forced to amputate!

The ten temporary divisions, field hospitals and other supporting facilities are not complete. Most of them are barefoot doctors recruited from the Istanbul area. The medical care ability is not a grade!

Anyway, in the battle of Constantinople, the number of casualties on the Bulgarian side reached 97,000, of which more than 820,000 people were killed, and more than 80,000 people were seriously injured and disabled. Whatever it is, they are all fatal!

Now Ferdinand has to be grateful for his wit and created the cannon fodder. Otherwise, the number of casualties in the First Army is expected to double, and Bulgaria cannot afford to die!

As for the casualties of the Ottomans, this is difficult to count. According to the combined situation of the First Group Army Staff, the casualty of the Ottoman army was at least double that of the Bulgarian side!

Ferdinand does not care about these! Now he is worrying about post-war resettlement. Ordinary soldiers have finished the battle and can receive rewards and retire. What should be done, but officers must be properly resettled!

It is definitely impossible to stay in the army. Even if the standing army of Bulgaria is now increased, there will not be many people left!

Can't you be demoted? Nowadays, everyone has basically made military achievements. It is already too much to not promote, and you still want to be demoted. Do you really think that these brave soldiers are soft persimmons?

"Chekov, what plans do you have for your government department to place retired officers and soldiers?"

Now that Prime Minister Constantine is still in London to chair the negotiations, Ferdinand has appointed Chekov to act as prime minister.

Chekov said stupidly, "Dagong, after this war, the territory has been expanded by almost two times. In order to stabilize the place, our cabinet believes that it is necessary to seal off some officers and men in the past!

Moreover, the government is in short supply of officials, and you can also consider selecting some of the retired officers to serve as local officials! "

Ferdinand nodded, he knew that there was now a large government shortage in Bulgaria.

Doesn't it mean that no one is going to be an official? It is mainly to be able to stabilize the situation in the newly added territories. Without a certain ability, the wrist will not work!

It is normal for the government to focus on retired officers. Now whether it is in Macedonia or Thrace, there are a lot of bandits and bandits, which are the legacy of the Ottoman period!

All these need to be resolved by the government. The robbers and bandits will be responsible for the siege, but the fish that may leak in the future can only be handled by the government!

Who better to do this job than these retired officers and men?

"Okay! Then choose a group of retired officers and directly become a local cadre! Like the situation in Macedonia and Albania, the situation is still very complicated. Police stations and armed forces in various places simply let the retired officers and men serve directly. Here! "Ferdinand Clapper Road

This is also a matter of no means. No matter how to clean up, the residual forces of the Ottomans still exist. It is not possible to suppress them by using tough means!

What is the political quality of retired officers and soldiers? This has yet to be verified, but there is one advantage that other people do not have-they dare to fight and dare to kill!

It's perfect for removing hidden dangers! Otherwise, if it is proposed by another civil servant, it is not a problem to raise tigers when using Huairou means against a group of enemies?

Let's take a simple example: a large number of gangs appear in one place, with a wide range of influence and strong strength.

If the civil servants deal with them, they will collect evidence first, and slowly find a way to deal with legal procedures. This process may take several years!

If they were handed over to those officers who had just retired, they might not have managed so much. They had to deal with the gangs first, and then consider the issue of evidence!

If it was in a peaceful era, of course, the legal system is better, but now, Bulgaria obviously needs more iron and blood! What Ferdinand wants now is to stabilize the place as soon as possible, resume production and develop the economy!

Ferdinand thought for a while and said, "Well, in the battle of Constantinople, we created ten new temporary divisions, and now they have become our loyal supporters!

Most of them are people in the areas of Istanbul and Thrace. The government can choose a part to add to the local police force. I will directly order their current officers to retire and serve as directors of local police stations. Live them! "

If it hadn't been for the news from the clearing house, he would have almost forgotten that after the Battle of Constantinople, this newly edited army of more than 100,000 had already been tied to a Bulgarian chariot!

Even for the land they are about to reach, they must support Bulgarian rule!

Interest is always the best means of bundling. Now they are heroes in Bulgaria and can enjoy the treatment of retired officers and soldiers.

In Bulgaria, it may be inconspicuous, but in their own hometown, it is also a member of the privileged class!

Even though privileges are small, don't they exist? And many of them hate the Ottoman Empire, and now it is better to absorb them into the police force and use them to fight against the remaining forces of the Ottoman Empire!

For the unity and stability of Bulgaria, Ferdinand decided to create an enemy for Bulgaria, an enemy that can unite the Balkan nations!

In the persimmon looking soft ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ Ferdinand chose the Ottoman Empire without hesitation!

First of all, the Balkan nations are hostile to the Ottoman Empire. In order to prevent the Sudanese government from making a comeback, they have to support the Bulgarian government!

As for the ability of the Sudanese government to make a comeback, this is not the point. Ferdinand can propagate it!

The Ottoman Empire is so big. After the failure of the Balkan War, they will definitely carry out internal reforms to save the dead!

As long as the propaganda is a bit exaggerated, let the ordinary people think that the crisis is around, and national independence will not be mainstreamed in the short term!

In the last few years, the world is peaceful, the living standards of the people have improved, and cultural integration, and everyone is used to living by Bulgarians, even if someone wants to go out on their own, they will not get the support of the people!

During this period, it is estimated that Ferdinand has long changed the history of all ethnic groups. Bulgarians are half-breeds anyway, and the ethnic groups in the Balkans are similar. It is too easy to find evidence that everyone is a family!
