During the second half of 1891
Gotse Delchev went in
Military School nearly Kniazevo together with his classmates Gotse
Imov, Iliq
Kondurdg, Stephen Stamatov. In that time Military School gave shelter
of arownd
60 students by the side of Macedonians' Bulgarians - some came
specially from
Macedonia and others - by the side of the Macedonian emigration in
Bulgaria.
At
the
Military School Gotse studied well. However, the success of the young
students
in military deed were not enough to the school leadership and the
higher
command. Curiosity of Gotse, his wish to
reading books and "suspicious" brochures, his enthusiasm in
discussions of social-political subjects seemed a
bad indicator to his chief. At the end
of the first semester Gotse
Delchev was under control. Later, in the next 2 years, Gotse was being
punished
for indiscipline many times - this is the way that in the Military
shool a
free-thinking and curiousity were qualified.
Between 4 walls of the barrack Gotse engrossed book
after book, he read social brochures and newspapers in the secret. As
the
regime got harder and the attitude to young students got more severe,
Gotse
realised the truth and in his soul gradually embers cooled down to some
official institutions in Bulgaria which leaded him to the Military
school in
Kniazevo.
Couple of months before they got military coat of
the
first officer's rank, on the occasion of an anonymos letter with
threats to the
minister of war R
acho Petrov
Delchev and his friends were being jedjed and
expeled from the Military School. Gotse Delchev had nothing in common
with this
anonymos letter - on the discipline judje there was not proved
his
participation in writing and sendind this letter. In fact, the reason
of expel
was completely different. He was cought reading socialistic books, They
had
searched his lochers, found more of these books, interrogated students
and it
came the charge of not only being socialist but he was doing such a
propaganda
in school. Gotse was judjed and he got punishment: he was given a
crtificate
for studyng in school but without having a right to produce.
