Rebirth: Romania Rising

In midsummer, in July, the sun is in full bloom in Dobrich.The wheat in the fields has blossomed, the grain filling, wild trees, and flowers in the countryside are all blooming, and the birds are busy feeding and singing to each other.

In this bright season, the soldiers at the Romanian army garrison camp outside Dobrich City are no longer as nervous as when they first arrived. Although sentries still have to stand and inspections are done every day, everyone's expressions are already relaxed. Quite a few.

They have been stationed in Dobrich for a week. As Sheriff Victor becomes "increasingly friendly" with the local powerful Zhivkov, the soldiers are gradually less wary of the locals.When I see a Bulgarian approaching with farm tools, I no longer feel nervous, and even say hello in a foreign language that neither of them understands.Although they are talking like a chicken and a duck, neither of them understands each other.

Several team captains were assigned their own tasks, and Betif led a few soldiers with good marksmanship to guard the city gate.

Gruul was responsible for finding medicinal materials to treat the headaches, brain fever, and indigestion caused by the soldiers' acclimatization.When marching outside, the most terrifying thing is not the resistance and conflict, but the infectious disease.

When Victor stipulated the prohibitions, he warned everyone not to drink raw water and that it must be boiled before drinking.Although this move caused some complaints, everyone still obeyed.

The other teams took turns leading patrols, and they did not go far. They circled the outside of the city twice a day in the morning and afternoon to declare Luo Jun's presence.

Victor's troops can only control the vicinity of the military camp, and cannot move from point to line and then to the surface like they can on the mainland.When the troops are dispersed, they are weak and strong when combined. Victor has no interest in the vast roads, factories, and residential areas in the city.

Anton, who had served as a messenger, was responsible for maintaining contact with the large army and surrounding counties.The day before yesterday, he personally rode to Varna and came back to inform Victor that the Bulgarian Tsar had given up and that "peace negotiations" with the anti-Bulgarian alliance had begun.

Beginning in mid-July, Kemal, who came from the embassy, ​​personally planned the offensive route, ordered people to defeat Adrian's peripheral artillery, and dug canals to cut off the river's flow through the defense positions.

The rushing river water mixed with the ditch water, and followed the newly dug deep ditch to the north of Daliang, and rushed to the low-lying Adrianople...

"Daliang City, a high-lying fortress, is completely surrounded by rivers and ditches. I asked the prisoners in Nanjun, and they said that the water has been pouring in for a month and a half. Although the city walls have not collapsed, there must be no place to stay in the city. …”

Victor breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that Adrianople will fall in a week or two." Once Adrianople is defeated, "Greater Bulgaria" can be declared destroyed. Victor is in Dobrich The Sheriff's errand has come to an end.

Although it felt like they wouldn't be able to stay in Dobrich for long and the soldiers could relax a little, Victor himself couldn't.Not all Bulgarians had surrendered. He could feel that there were still many unkind eyes staring at him in the dark.

So Victor gave Gruul, who had a language advantage, a new task. He would go to the market or a tavern to sit down when he had nothing to do. The name was to supervise fair trade, but in fact he was inquiring about information.

The market and tavern have a large flow of people, and useful and useless information are exchanged there. This helps Victor grasp local public opinion and guard against undercurrents.

On this day, Victor personally led the team out on patrol and went to the fork in the road to pick up Alexei and several soldiers who were recovering from injuries in Varna.

Victor's disinfection and bandaging were indeed effective. After more than half a month of recuperation, Alexei was already well. Although he was still unable to lift heavy objects, he could already walk quickly. Victor couldn't help feeling that this man's vitality was really strong.

When everyone returned to the camp, it was getting dark, but they saw that Druel, who had gone to the village to inquire about information, had come back and was sitting in the tent, talking to Alexey and laughing...

No need to ask, Victor knew what the two were laughing about.During this week, Druel didn't get any useful information, but heard a lot of gossip and rumors.

Either the buyer and the seller openly quarreled in the market over bargaining and almost got into a fight, or the brothers in the family were arguing about the division of inheritance, and the conflict reached the point of turning into enemies...

If it were in Romania, the local police might have to take care of these trivial matters, but now Dobrich is still autonomous by the Bulgarians, and there are no conditions for the implementation of Romanian rule of law.So Victor doesn't want to cause trouble, as long as it's not murder, arson, robbery or theft.He didn't ask about other trivial matters.

But this was only in Dobrich, which surrendered peacefully. I heard from Alexei that in Varna, which was captured by force, the newly appointed police chief had very strict control, especially against the militiamen who had resisted the army. Almost all of them were arrested. While in jail, there were many bloody incidents of resistance...

In this regard, Victor only stepped up patrols to the south to be on guard against fleeing militiamen coming to cause trouble.Fortunately, the Sheriff has a responsibility system. As long as he takes care of the three acres of land in front of him, there won't be any riots next door.So at this juncture, everyone is cleaning up the snow in front of their own house, so how can they care about the frost on other people's tiles?

After the two stood up to say hello to him, Victor smiled and asked, "Did Gruul find out anything today?"

There are no entertainment items in the army. Several military officers listen to Zhong Ming talk about the gossip of the market every night, which has become a regular program to kill boring time.Zhong Ming suddenly became excited again: "You You, I heard two interesting things in the city today. Do you want to hear them?"

"Go ahead."

"The first thing is related to the Zhivkov family." Victor suddenly raised his eyes when he heard the keyword.

Gruul said mysteriously: "Just yesterday, a junior of the Zhivkov family died!"

……

"That man, the nephew of Wanka who came to deliver food a few days ago, is said to be very unlucky and a well-known gangster in the city."

"A few years ago, when that bastard was in school, he was assigned to study with the most severe teacher in the school. This was originally a good thing, but unexpectedly, on the day of enrollment, before he even had time to report, he was I drank too much, tripped over the threshold when I entered school, broke my head in a fall, and was laughed at, so I got into a fight and was kicked out..."

After listening to Gruul's words, Alexey, who had just arrived, opened his eyes wide: "Drinking is such a waste, and a poor person like me who wants to study has no chance!"

"Huh? What's wrong with drinking?" Betif mocked.

"It's bad luck, but you really deserve it." Victor clicked his tongue. He had to refund the tuition fee before fighting, which caused everyone to burst into laughter.

At this time, in addition to the sentry guarding the camp gate, several other people also gathered around to listen to the gossip.

"Their elders finally had time to take care of the matter, but they were unlucky." Gruul continued to say that Wanka's nephew later married another wife.After only three months of marriage, the man got into a fight with a man in the market, was sentenced to assault, and spent half a year in jail.

……

He worked hard every day in prison and was in good health. However, not long after he was released from prison, he broke his leg. After lying in bed for several months, he finally recovered and was ready to show off his talents in the business world.

Unexpectedly...

"It has only been five months, but when I was out on business, I encountered bandits. The goods were robbed and people were almost killed."

Victor shook his head slightly. A person can continue to fight after several failures. It seems that although it is unfortunate, it can be called perseverance and perseverance.

But a young man has great years to live, so he can’t stay idle forever, so Ivan arranged for him to have a Bulgarian militia to resist the Greek army...

The Bulgarian militia is an important armed force that originated from the Bulgarian War of Independence (1877-1878).The Bulgarian militia is composed of hunters, farmers, and workers and serves the country's security and defense.

Bulgaria will not distribute sophisticated equipment to them. Firearms, clothing, and food are all self-sufficient by the militia. However, one thing is the same as Romania, that is, they can divide their fields after achieving military merit.

When Gruul said this, everyone was also sighing. Most of them thought that this person was really unlucky. Why did he go to fight with the Greek army?

"I'm afraid we won't even see the body."

Victor was a bit dumbfounded, but Alexey was beaming with joy, saying that he must ask Bu Cheng to help him decide on a date after returning...

Betif said: "Sir, Ivan is the leader of the clan or the chairman of the committee. He has been mediating the relationship between our army and the local tycoons in the past week. He died a junior, why don't we go and have a chat?"

Victor immediately patted his thigh and praised him: "You are still attentive." So he asked Betif and Anton to bring some money to go and commemorate it on his behalf.

After the two left, Alexey was still there asking Gruul: "You said the first thing, but what about the second one?"

Victor sat down directly, took the kettle handed over by Gruul, drank the warm water in it, and listened casually.

Gruul had already finished talking about the most gossipy "unlucky child". He was a little less interested in talking about the second thing. He just said lightly: "The second thing is a pair of brothers in the city and the Zlatar family. There was a falling out.”

"Zlatar is a big local family. Who are the two brothers who dare to provoke the local tyrant?"

"There are two ordinary residents in the city. The eldest brother is a farmer, and the younger Mistry is an engineer. Zlatar fired Mistry because he thought he was lazy at work, not making money, and stealing parts."

Alexey suddenly lost interest: "Isn't it just a conflict between employees and employers? I see it all the time in my hometown. It's nothing strange."

Gruul said with a smile: "Not only that, after the brothers quarreled with the Zlatar family, some rumors spread. The brothers said that they had difficulties in doing so. Anyway, they were trying to make some big invention, just like Just like the Romanian Sheriff..."

"puff……"

As soon as he finished speaking, Victor squirted out a mouthful of warm water, and his entire collar was wet. He didn't even bother to wipe it off, and asked Gruul: "Has this matter about me spread to the ears of ordinary people? These two brothers are a bit extraordinary."

Gruul didn't know why Victor, who had always been calm, was so excited. He was a little dazed. After a while, he nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed true. We probably need to seek justice."

Victor vaguely remembered that Mistry, one of the two brothers, would become a famous electronic engineer and entrepreneur in Bulgaria in the future, and founded one of the largest electronics companies in Bulgaria, focusing on electronic equipment and communication technology.

I have to help this person, and it’s best to fish people out!
