"Then talk about it."

Facing the king's words, Puleshan walked to the large Romanian map and began to explain. "Your Majesty, let's talk about the offensive plan first. Here we first need to mobilize 400,000 militiamen to form a new force. It is estimated that the initial reorganization can be completed within a week. The second mobilization of the reserve should also be accelerated. Within days, the second batch of reservists must also enter the barracks. In addition, the third batch of mobilization must also be mobilized within three months, because this batch of mobilization military training is insufficient, so it will be adequate in the barracks After training, they will be integrated into the army in the form of supplementary troops."

At the end of the speech, the chief of the general staff, Preshan, said to Edel with a smile. "These are basically what Admiral Courtois is doing, I'm just in charge of explaining it."

General Courtois, as the Minister of the Army, said humbly. "Where, many of them are still helped by the General Staff, and Lieutenant General Fereit has given a lot of power."

Hearing Admiral Courtois mentioning himself, Lieutenant General Féliet, the director of education, also nodded to the king. In the past few years, Lieutenant General Freiit has been doing well as the director of education, but he is very low-key in the army, and he is usually not seen to make any comments at all, except for his own work. Many people say that he has more and more high-level bearing.

After Pu Lishan finished talking about the mobilization mechanism, he began to talk about the troop assignment. "Your Majesty, in our latest battle plan, we need to concentrate our forces to take Transylvania first."

For Pu Lishan's words, the military executives who were sitting, including Edel, agreed. As long as Austria-Hungary is involved in countless games in the past, the number one goal is to win Transylvania.

Because as long as you open the map, you can find that Romania is like a U-shaped letter, and Transylvania is in the middle of the U-shaped letter. The Austro-Hungarian army occupying Transylvania can condescend to threaten most of Romania, so once it starts a war with the Allies and wins Transylvania, it becomes the primary target. Otherwise, as long as the Austro-Hungarian army is holding back in Transylvania, Romania needs to be defended everywhere, and this is unreasonable according to Romania's strength.

The terrain of Transylvania is also formed by three mountain ranges: Carpathian Mountains, Southern Carpathian Mountains and Apseni Mountains. The highest of these are of course the Carpathian Mountains and the Southern Carpathian Mountains at the junction of Roo, and the Apseni Mountains, which now border the rest of Hungary, have become the focus of the military. Because to defend against the huge army of Austria-Hungary, it can only rely on the Apseni Mountains for defense, which saves valuable troops for other places.

Preshan explained to Edel the plan of the General Staff. "Your Majesty, our attack on Transylvania is planned to be carried out from three aspects. The first is the North Road Army. We plan to assemble 9 divisions and use Bakuu as the assembly base. Break through the north such as Krakan and Proz. Yamaguchi, the goal is to take Rejak and then Odosessk."

After talking about the plan for the north road, Admiral Puleshan talked about the south. "Next is Army Group South. We plan to assemble 15 divisions in Volca and Targuzhiu. However, Army Group South's targets are Sibiu and Deva respectively. After winning Deva, South The army, depending on the situation, needed to keep three to five divisions to defend against the Austro-Hungarian forces coming from Fort Temesh and Adra. Then the rest of the army south gathered and took Alba Iulia."

After spending a great deal of language on Army Group South, Preshan continued. "Finally, there is the Central Army in the middle. We plan to assemble the forces of 11 divisions, with Buzau and Ploiesti as the rendezvous. The Central Army has a heavier task and needs to take Brasov as soon as possible to reinforce the North and South Army Groups. ."

"If all our goals can be successfully accomplished, then the Central Army will be split to supplement the North and South Army.

The strengthened North Army will take Targu Mures, while the South Army will need to take Turda, and finally will jointly take the core city of Cluj in Transylvania. We then left 25 to 27 divisions to defend using the Apseni Mountains, leaving 8 to 10 divisions available for use in other directions. "

Eder has seen such a plan more than once, and each time it is necessary to assemble most of Romania's standing divisions and new divisions with high combat power. In Romania, the intensive training of the militia over the past few years has been very effective. Now there is not much to say about the basic infantry in the militia. Even the artillery, communication, and chemical defense troops have been trained well. If it is formed, the gap between the standing divisions will not be too big, the only problem is that the cost is high.

Sure enough, after the Transylvania Offensive, Admiral Puri went on to talk about other directions. "In Moldavia, we have 16 divisions prepared to defend the enemy from Galicia. Among them, in Suceava, where we are most likely to encounter, we have prepared 4 divisions, and Because it is a plain area, our general staff specially allocated a 210 heavy artillery regiment and a 150 heavy artillery regiment to them. In Iasi, we also prepared four divisions, and also had a 210 heavy artillery regiment. In Galati, we also 3 divisions are prepared for defense, among which our largest 240 heavy artillery regiment is also deployed here. In addition, 2 divisions and 3 divisions are deployed in Folknessa and Roman respectively for mobile support. They have increased firepower with a 150 heavy artillery regiment."

"Is it appropriate to place most of the heavy artillery regiment here?"

Eder asked curiously when the voice fell on Mount Pulie. You must know that these heavy artillery regiments of the Romanian army cost a lot, and it is not too wasteful to use them for the defense of Moldavia.

In the face of Edel's inquiry, Admiral Prieshan explained. "Your Majesty, we don't think it's a waste at all. We are likely to encounter German troops on the eastern front in Moldavia. If there is no heavy artillery in the plains, I am afraid that the army mainly on the second line will be unable to withstand the pressure and retreat. ."

Admiral Preshan's words made Eder also silent, and he was very clear about what the German army represented in this era. Now it is obvious that the capture of Transylvania is the most important, and can only be defended by these second-line troops. Thinking of this, Edel feels heavy in his heart.

Priest will continue to talk about the Bulgarian direction. "Your Majesty, now Bulgaria is the most critical battle in which we use the fewest troops."

Edel put down his sigh about the soldiers who were about to shed blood for the country, and cheered up. "Keep talking."

"We are also planning to attack in the Bulgarian direction. However, the soldiers that make up the Bulgarian army have only eight divisions, but they are all elite units of our Romanian army. The first and second divisions of the Guard will be used in this direction. They will use Ruse and Suman are the rendezvous areas, with Priven and Veliko Tarnovo as the primary targets. After occupying here, they will directly target Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. However, this requires the Allied forces gathered in Paralia, Greece, to contain The main force of the Bulgarian army in Thessaloniki."

After Admiral Priest finished his explanation, Edel clapped his hands twice as approval for the plan, he said to the Big Three present. "This plan is good, and I will seriously consider it. You can make preparations according to this plan."

Now we still need to look at the attitudes of Britain and France towards Romania. In this case, Edel can no longer sit still, so can the British and French governments still be able to sit still?
