The decision of the two reinforcement commanders did not allow them to gain much gratitude from the soldiers. Because a day's rest is only enough for the soldier to relieve his physical fatigue, and there is nothing he can do about his inner dissatisfaction.

"We're either desperate on this battlefield or we're on that battlefield to rescue, I've had enough of this damn day."

"It's the same with me, this terrible war has taken too many lives. There have been a lot of changes in our class alone, Miller, Yale, Carl, Loew, etc., do you remember that Suman? ”

"Of course I remember, isn't that an old guy who is older than the squad leader and knows every day that we should cherish our lives and nag, didn't this guy die half a year ago?"

"Yes, this nagging old guy died before. He once told me in a casual conversation that before we came, he had witnessed the death of no less than ten of his comrades, some of whom could not even find their bodies. ”

"We are desperately trying to figure it out on the front line, why have many people died of hunger in our hometown after years of poor harvests, but those powerful nobles don't have to worry about this at all."

In the camp, the two soldiers went from complaining about the cruelty of the battlefield to pouring out social injustices. And what is worrying is that the two soldiers are unscrupulous to vent their grievances, and there is no one to stop them. This shows that this discontent has become a common phenomenon in the barracks, which is like a barrel of explosives placed in high temperatures, and it is very likely that the slightest accident will explode with its due power.

Just then, another soldier arrived. "The news that Lian Li has just come down, let's fix it here for a day."

The two soldiers who were chatting immediately stopped talking, and one of them immediately asked. "Did you say we could go out and relax?"

The soldier who was questioned seemed to be very familiar with the question, and he shook his head and said. "I know what you think, but it's a pity that you can only be in the barracks, and it's impossible for you to meet Sophia."

In the face of his comrades-in-arms, the soldier felt a little depressed. After experiencing the emotionally stressful battles on the battlefield, the necessary venting is also part of the soldiers' stress relief, and smoking, alcohol, sex, and killing are the best ways to relieve it. However, considering the current civilized society, killing on behalf of ignorance is not suitable for this era, so smoking, alcohol and sex have become the best choices.

Now the officers don't let them go out to relax, which makes the soldiers who are full of anticipation feel a little strange. However, this cannot be blamed on the decision of the officers, who know too well the virtues of their soldiers, and every time they relax, they will cause a lot of trouble, such as fights, thefts, etc. And they are currently in the capital Sofia, where too many powerful people will cause big trouble if one is not good, so for the sake of safety, they can only be confined to the barracks, but unfortunately there are no tobacco and alcohol items for them to relax.

The soldier who informed the two of them saw their depressed mood and whispered another situation. "If you're bored, there's someone organizing a speech in the Third Company, and if you're interested, you can check it out."

The words of their comrades-in-arms made the two of them interested, and it was boring to stay in the barracks anyway, they asked casually. "What does the speech say?"

"I don't know about this, I also heard from others."

The soldier who told the letter did not answer the questions of the two men, but left after saying a word.

Looking at the departing comrades, one of them asked. "Are you going to check it out?"

"Why not? Anyway, you can't get out of the barracks, and you're idle. ”

The two, who had nothing to do in the barracks, decided to go to the third company to see the excitement when the time came.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the camp of the Triple Company, which was not far from them. When the two entered the room of the third company, they found that there were not many people inside, and many soldiers were gathered around a soldier with glasses, listening to his speech.

When the two of them saw this situation, they also got closer curiously and wanted to hear what was being said here?

As the two approached, they heard the soldier speaking loudly in his affectionate language.

"Soldiers, it has been a long time since our motherland joined this war, and we have been fighting the enemy on the battlefield for almost three years. Three years is enough for a newborn baby to learn to call Mom and Dad, but now the victory in the war is getting farther and farther away. Whenever we think of our fallen comrades-in-arms and loved ones, we should ask in our hearts whether all this is worth it? ”

The soldier's words resonated with everyone, but some soldiers still raised different opinions. "But this is to regain our inherent territories and compatriots that belong to our neighbors."

The dissent did not make the soldier who spoke feel how difficult the question was, but he opened his mouth to reply. "Yes, that's all the news the government wants us to know. If it's really just about getting back what belongs to us, then we should consult with our neighbors and let the people in those regions decide by referendum, instead of joining this damn war and let's bleed our own blood for it. ”

Speaking of this, the soldier who gave the speech said emotionally. "Comrades-in-arms, this war has cost us too much, you all know the shortage of materials in the country, but do you know how far the shortage of materials has been?"

Where do ordinary soldiers know about this problem, the government knows these situations best, but the situation is stable, and the government cannot inform them.

Seeing that no one could answer, the soldier who gave the speech said directly. "Now many people in China have starved to death due to food shortages."

"It's unlikely."

"Isn't that an exaggeration?"

The speaker's words made the surrounding soldiers a little incredulous, and they talked about it one after another.

Seeing that the soldiers were a little unconvinced, the soldiers who gave the speech directly said more powerful local news. "My uncle works in the government statistics department, and according to what he learned, in the first half of this year, 57,000 people died of starvation in our country due to famine, most of them were elderly and children, and in the second half of this year, the number of people who died of starvation reached 92,700, all of whom died of various diseases caused by hunger."

The soldiers were shocked to hear the reported death toll. In the past, when I communicated with my family, the most I learned was that there was not enough food to eat, and one or two people in the neighborhood died because of this, and I didn't know the numbers intuitively. Now this question is directly exposed to them, but they don't know how to answer.

Seeing the shocked soldiers around him, the speaker continued to agitate. "Now you know the truth, these are all figures that the government does not dare to make public. Because while encouraging us to go to war and die, our families are subjected to starvation and even death. The aristocracy and magnates, on the other hand, had no such worries at all, and they had the money to buy all kinds of necessities, even red wine from France, tobacco and tea from England. It is unfair that we and our families are not in such danger at all when they are desperately working for this country, and we have to fight against this fate. ”

Among the soldiers who were stirred up by the content and atmosphere of the speech, some of them responded loudly to his words. "We're going to fight against this fate."

The soldiers who were led also shouted. "Resistance...... Protest ......"

"We don't want to fight anymore, we want peace, we want bread."

"Peace and bread."

When the soldiers who gave the speech saw this situation, they were very excited, and they finally let the soldiers vent their dissatisfaction with the government, and then things were much easier.

There were more than one such speeches in the barracks, and in fact there were many of them in the barracks, and they used various methods to make the soldiers explode into dissatisfaction with the government. And these people are actually political forces in Bulgaria, but they only have different opinions, and now seeing that the country is facing a critical moment, of course they want to jump off the broken ship of Germany and Austria, and now is also a very opportune time.

So in the early hours of January 12, 1918, the soldiers in the barracks rioted, and they demanded that the government withdraw from the war. This has made the Bulgarian government even worse, faltering.
