Rebirth: Romania Rising

What Victor said to Mistry that day left a deep impression on him.Even though Mistry will be a big figure in history in the future, at this time, he is still an ordinary citizen who has never traveled far. Apart from himself and his brother, he only has a faint view of the country in his heart, but his view of the world has not yet been formed.

Therefore, Victor's remarks about "unification of the country and the unity of culture" had a certain impact on Mistry. Fortunately, he was very smart and quickly digested this opinion, and at the same time, he immediately criticized Victor This person had even greater doubts.

"Is this the knowledge a Romanian police officer should have?"

Not only that, Mistry also observed something unusual about Victor.Several Romanian soldiers brought by Victor proudly showed Mistry their new clothes, saying that they were newly made summer clothes.

When the Romanian recruits were undergoing additional training, the weather was still very cold, so when they went on the road, they basically only brought two long-sleeved shirts.Now that a few months have passed, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the heavy military uniforms can no longer be worn. The money in their hands is also spent, which is not enough to buy clothes. Many soldiers suddenly want to violate military laws and secretly sell their long military uniforms. Change into a short coat.

At this time, Victor helped everyone. He took out the money captured in Varna and distributed to him by Lord Constantine, and asked the factories and tailors in the city to make summer clothes for everyone.

Mistry thoughtfully said: "Although the Romanian army has strict ranks between officers and soldiers, and officers cannot live and eat with the soldiers, such an expense will make the soldiers feel convinced."

This method of winning people's hearts is simple but very effective. The soldiers in the camp are very grateful to Victor and are willing to obey the additional orders and prohibitions set by Victor in addition to military laws.For example, don’t drink raw water randomly...

The day Mistry first came to the military camp, he was shocked by this living habit.That day, when he was thirsty after finishing his work, he took a ladle and planned to ladle water from the water tank. As a result, the captain of the cooking team who was drinking water scolded him, snatched the ladle from his hand, and poured a piece of water into his hand. The bowl of warm water just poured from the pot was handed to Mistry.

"Victor said that drinking raw water is not allowed in the military camp while we are stationed!" Mistry thought for a long time but didn't understand why, because people like him who came from a poor background would drink it casually on weekdays.

Whether it's river water, spring water, well water, or even rainwater, you can quench your thirst by leaning down, holding it with your hands, and opening your mouth.Moreover, the cost of boiling water is very expensive. Only those children from rich families will boil water at home to make tea for drinking after meals or for leisure and entertainment.

At first, he understood this as a custom brought from Victor's hometown.However, after he inquired with Druel, he learned that this habit did not exist in Romania at all, but was Victor's "eccentricity".

"Sir's order, we just have to strictly abide by it and implement it conscientiously. Why bother with the random reasons?" Some soldiers are honest and simple, and they just instinctively follow the orders of their superiors.He is not as curious as Mistry and rarely asks "why". He just listens to orders. This is a character they have domesticated during their years of military service in Romania.

Mistry was different. He wanted to find out the reasons for everything. So after getting familiar with each other, one time, he finally couldn't help but ask Victor this question.

In the kitchen, Victor looked at the pot used to boil water in front of him, watching the water inside gradually boiling, and replied calmly: "You are a local, and you are used to drinking local river and well water, so you will be fine. But. The soldiers came from hundreds of miles away, and the soil and water in the two places are very different. Drinking too much raw water will inevitably cause gastrointestinal discomfort and contract diseases.

It is much better to boil the water before drinking it. The turn of spring and summer is the season of high incidence of infectious diseases. Many people have contracted malaria, but no one in our military camp has contracted the disease. This is the benefit of drinking boiled water. "

Mistry thought about it, and it made sense.Throughout the ages, there have indeed been many military campaigns, but when they were stationed in other places, they suddenly contracted epidemics, leading to defeats.

The small camp in front of us is easy to deal with. If tens of thousands or more than [-] troops gather together, the water source will definitely be easily contaminated, or the enemy may throw in livestock carcasses, or our own people may eat the excrement chewed by horses and accidentally flow into it. , if you drink that kind of water without treatment, you will die...

"As for Victor, he has the courage to charge into battle, the rigor of paying attention to the discipline of officers and soldiers, and the generosity of caring for the soldiers. This sheriff does not look like an ordinary landowner's son from the northeast of Romania... but he seems to be a natural born leader."

While Mistry was trying to figure out Victor's personality, he couldn't relax at the work at hand. In the two days of late July and early August, Victor suddenly placed three official documents from Bucharest, Sofia, and Varna at the same time. Come to him.

"Translate all three communiqués into Bulgarian characters, copy them on wooden boards, and post them in the city."

Chen Ping was slightly surprised. Normally, so many bulletins that needed to be announced to the whole city would not be sent at the same time. He quickly took it and took a look. He was greatly surprised by the headlines in the first column.

"Adrian changed hands...the anti-Provincial coalition forces won a great victory, and representatives from many countries reached a peace agreement?!"

……

"This is a great way to isolate the enemy."

In the west of Adrian City, at the Ottoman military camp, a young officer stood outside the door, looking at the Adrian Fortress surrounded by layers to the west, and expressed his heartfelt admiration.

This move was exactly what Kemal did when he was ordered by the general to come to the front line to inquire about the fortress information and also to investigate the local terrain.On his way out of Bulgaria, he left Sofia, passed through Eastern Thrace, and passed through Constantinople.When he arrived in the capital, he happened to see tens of thousands of patriotic people marching on the streets, shouting slogans to join the war...

"The people are united as never before, and all classes are willing to participate in the war to regain the lost territory. All expectations depend on our Ottoman army." A carriage driver escorting Kemal lamented, and also talked about the parade in the capital at that time. experiences at that time.

“Two years ago, when I was still a farmer who had never entered a big city, Nyamat Pasha led his army through the gate of the farmland, with the cavalry as the vanguard, and strictly kept the marching route of the army secret. As a result, the army traveled from Asia Minor to Africa. Tens of thousands of troops marched forward, and all the good farmland and crops were trampled to death.”

While talking, the old coachman kept shaking his head. He was not very optimistic about his enthusiasm for participating in the war. He thought that although he could regain his homeland, I was afraid that once the Ottoman army arrived, most of the farmland and cities would be destroyed by artillery fire and turned into ruins.What is the use of such ruins?

But when the coachman arrives at Adrian City in the Balkans, he will be surprised to find that the turbulent river water obediently followed the guidance of the Ottoman army and was led into the newly dug ditch. The water flow swept Adrian City It was completely surrounded, and the move only affected Adrian City and did not cause damage to the surrounding areas.All of this is the credit of Kemal, the "chief architect" of this plan...

"What a good plan." Angzireli was full of admiration, and at the same time he clenched his fists and said to his father, General Emil, in the commander's tent: "Father, if this happens, contact with Adrian City will probably be cut off. This city is just around the corner!”
