Romanian Eagle

The 361st chapter whale swallow (1)

News of the Habsburgs being expelled from Austria spread rapidly in Europe. For the departure of this political family that has influenced the European continent for nearly a thousand years, some people are happy and some are sad, but this cannot affect the determination of the Entente countries to deal with Austria-Hungary.

However, before sharing this cake, the Allied Powers did not forget that the Allied Powers still have a strength above him.

Therefore, when Austria-Hungary was still in turmoil, when the Habsburg family was not expelled, the Allied forces with Britain, France and the United States as the main force launched a counterattack on the western front. They planned to drive Germany out of French territory first.

At the same time, they also plan to contain the German army from other directions, and Romania, which seems to be brave and good at present, will naturally not be let go by them. So when Austria-Hungary was in turmoil, the Allied powers asked Romania to launch a war request to contain the German troops on the eastern front, and it was put on Eder's table.

Edel looked at this request and was a little dissatisfied with it. Romania has fought many battles in just over eight months since the start of the war on the Eastern Front. Although the harvest was not cheap, the accumulated casualties were not small. After all, Romania has a population of just over 10 million, and cannot experience casualties like those on the Western Front (the newly occupied areas have not yet been counted).

However, he could not directly refuse the request of the Allied Powers. The main reason is that Romania has its own plan and needs to use a lot of troops. Therefore, it is more resistant to the demands of the Allied countries.

It made Edel want to resist the plan requested by the Allies, which is also a manifestation of Romania's soaring strength. In this world where the law of the jungle is popular, being weak is the original sin. If Romania wants to be rich and powerful, it must have enough living space. And Eder is somewhat coveted for the former Russian territory that is still in German hands. So after receiving a request from the Allied countries that Romania wanted Romania to contain the German troops on the eastern front, Eder decided to discuss with Admiral Pleishan.

When Admiral Preshan arrived at the palace, Eder showed him the request of the Entente.

"Chief of Staff, what do you think of this telegram?"

After reading the telegram in Pleishan, Edel asked with concern.

In response to Edel's inquiry, Admiral Preshan said with a smile: "It's very simple, it depends on whether His Majesty is willing to fight them."

The chief of staff's words made Edel interested. "Then, talk about it."

"Your Majesty, this telegram only asks us to contain the German troops on the eastern front, but it doesn't say when we should launch an offensive to contain it, so this request still has room for manipulation."

"Go on.

"

"Actually, in the staff, there are several plans to take back our Romanian territory on the eastern front. The two most capable of executing them do not conflict with the requirements of the Allies, and we can implement them after appropriate revisions."

"The first plan, because of the turbulent situation in Austria-Hungary, we can transfer several standing divisions and technical arms that have been strengthened to the Transylvanian Army to be strengthened to Admiral Courtois' Moldavia. Group Army. The advantage of this plan is that we can gather our troops and weapons and equipment together to form a heavy armored corps, and oppress the opponent to make it either retreat or fight with us. The advantage of this plan is that it has enough strength to repel in The disadvantage of the German army in Galicia is that the time is relatively slow, and it is easy for the enemy to retreat."

After talking about the first plan, Admiral Puleshan took a sigh of relief and continued: "Our second plan is also to mobilize the Transylvanian Army. However, the mobilized troops do not strengthen Moldavia. Instead, the army was formed into a separate unit. It turned over from the Transcarpathian Mountains and went straight to Lviv, the logistics supply center of the enemy. At the same time, the Moldavian army entangled the enemy's troops on the front line and did not give them back reinforcements. The advantage of this plan is that it can defeat the enemy, Mackensen, commanding the elite German troops on the Eastern Front, and remove the biggest obstacle for us to take back the territory. As long as the plan goes smoothly, even if it cannot be defeated, at least the opponent can be severely damaged. However, the disadvantage is that the actions of the two sides You must cooperate well, and you cannot carry heavy equipment when crossing the Transcarpathian Mountains, and there may be too much possibility of casualties."

After Admiral Priest finished speaking, Edel fell into deep thought. However, he did not compare the advantages and disadvantages of the two schemes, but was thinking about the relationship between the end of World War I in his past life memory. In Edel's memory, the key point in Germany's defeat was the Kiel Marine Revolt. The reason for the sailors' uprising seems to be that there was an incentive for the defeat of Austria-Hungary. It was said at the time that after the defeat of Austria-Hungary, the German military and civilians were desperate for the situation, so this uprising broke out.

Edel tried to recall the memories of the previous life, but after so many years, he had forgotten too many things, so he never remembered it. No way, Edel can only find through other methods.

"Chief of the General Staff, what is the current situation in Germany?"

Preshan did not know that the king would consider the situation in Germany at this time, but their general staff did not give up on the collection of German intelligence. So after Edel asked, Preshan said the information he had learned so far.

"At present, the German army is under great pressure on the western front. The attack of the United States, Britain and France has caused them to lose a lot of key areas and troops. At present, the Allied forces on the western front have achieved a breakthrough in the area of ​​the Marne, and they have advanced the front line by 80 kilometers. . And the German army can no longer threaten the safety of Paris. This time the German army's performance in the battle was relatively poor, and it completely lost its previous fighting spirit, and many areas were voluntarily abandoned. "

Preshan's words still didn't give Edel a clue, so he continued to ask: "What about the situation in Germany?"

After synthesizing the information of the intelligence department, Pu Lishan said: "At present, the domestic famine is relatively serious, and the people have grievances about it."

Think about it, even the army eats carrots and horse meat as a delicacy, so you can imagine what the people in the country can eat.

After listening to Puleshan's explanation, Edel thought for a while and said, "Then let's take the first plan as the battle plan, we don't have to rush to fight the German army."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After hearing Edel's decision, Admiral Prie Mountain naturally had no reason not to agree.

After Prieshan returned to the staff, he immediately sent a report to the Transylvanian Army, asking them to mobilize powerful combat troops to reinforce the Moldavian Army that was about to have a combat mission. And in order to make the Moldavian Army have a better performance, Preshan also transferred Lieutenant General Fereit to General Courtois as his deputy.

It seems that Lieutenant General Fereit is the one who has gained the most military exploits in this war, and he can be seen in almost every battle. I believe that after the war, it is not as simple as being promoted to general. He is likely to become the leader of the next army. As for the result, it depends on his personal grasp.
