"Your Majesty, Admiral Salamik has captured Budapest."

An attendant took a telegram and ran into the room with a loud voice to report the good news.

"Got it, little Monal go down."

Edel looked at the impulsive squire, and waved as he took the telegram he handed over.

When the squire heard the king's words, he saw the queen sitting next to her and withdrew with some embarrassment.

Sophie Marie glanced at it, and the reckless squire asked, "This is the youngest son of the Monal family?"

Edel complained to his wife with a headache: "That's right, this boy who always gets into trouble was forced into me by his old son to be my attendant, and he caused me a mess." ”

Eder's helpless expression caused the queen to cover her mouth and laugh stupidly: "I heard that he became famous in Bucharest last year, which made many people look at him with admiration. ”

"I've heard about it, too."

What his wife said, Eder also knew, this is a good thing that doesn't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles. This kid did a big surprise last year, he openly wanted to marry a woman who had lost his foot and entered the house, even if he was locked up in the house, he must marry this true love.

This stubborn boy gave birth to the god and Buddha of his old son Count Monar. In the end, seeing that this matter was getting bigger and bigger, the woman who lost her foot saw that the situation was not right, and finally let go to stop the farce. However, after this incident, he felt that his son was not at ease, and the Count of Monal approached Eder and asked for his unsuccessful son to follow him through the practice. And Eder took into account the respect that the Monal family has always been for the royal family, and agreed, and it turned out to be like this.

Edel glanced at the telegram and placed it on the table. Queen Mary, who had been married for many years, felt that her husband was not in a high mood and tried to ask, "Eder, what's wrong with you, are you unhappy?"

Facing his wife, Eder said without concealing it: "How can you make me happy to take the city at the cost of more than 50,000 casualties." Salamik was so disappointed in what he was doing. ”

In fact, Eder knew that Salamik had done a very good job, and the annihilation of more than 200,000 enemies had achieved great results. However, the number of casualties approaching 60,000 also made him feel bleeding inside. This is not a troop that is a sign of mobilization, but also an elite standing army that has been trained for many years, and this time it can be regarded as disabled. Eder didn't send a telegram of rebuke to Salamik, all because of his years of service to the kingdom, and he wanted to reward him for his actions.

Not to mention Eder's resentment against Admiral Salamik, the Romanian army, after the occupation of Budapest, immediately surrounded several factories that had already been fenced and put under martial law. Budapest Iron and Steel Works, Arsenals, Chemical Plants, etc., these famous factories are all in the circle.

Once Romania has sent experts to assess the facilities, the equipment deemed suitable for Romania will be shipped back to China. This is also to subsidize a small part of the cost of this military trip.

Just when Romania was in full swing doing its own thing, an unexpected thing happened.

In a freshly baked surveillance stronghold on the outskirts of Budapest, a Romanian officer sat down for a rare break. In the past few days, he has been exhausted, and he has been marching and fighting in a hurry, and he finally took down the enemy's capital Budapest, and he was arranged to lead the team to defend the stronghold on the front line. After arranging all these things one by one, I can finally relax and smoke a cigarette and rest for a while. At this time, the king of heaven is here, don't want to disturb yourself.

The Romanian officer, who was swallowing the clouds, thought to himself, but as if God didn't want to do what he wanted, a voice pulled him back to reality.

"Company commander, you come out for a while, there is a situation."

The company commander, who was disturbed by a sound, immediately extinguished the cigarette in his hand and ran out.

"What's the situation, is it the origin of the People's Army?"

The company commander had a deep impression of the People's Army who had fought with him, who, although not very capable of fighting, had a very high morale and were able to charge under machine-gun fire without any regard for their own lives. This kind of desperate style of play caused his company to suffer a lot of losses, and now he still has palpitations.

When questioned by the company commander, the soldier reported: "It's not the People's Army, it's an army with a different flag." ”

"Let me see what kind of army this is."

The company commander, who was standing on a high place, raised the telescope in his hand and looked at it. Judging from the military flag, it is a red, white and green tricolor flag, not the red and sickle and hammer flag of the People's Army.

"Go and ask someone what they do."

Looking at the armed contingent of nearly 1,000 people, the company commander did not hesitate to give orders to his sentries at all. He believed that such a team that was coming towards him in the light would not be too hostile. And the source of his self-confidence is the Romanian army of more than 100,000 in the city of Budapest.

After receiving orders from his company commander, a sentry ran quickly towards the team.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

Faced with the sentinel's high-spirited inquiry, the group stopped. At this moment two officers stepped out from among them, one of whom was a bearded officer with the rank of major, and spoke to the officer next to him in Hungarian, which the sentry did not understand. Then the officer, who was apparently an interpreter, spoke to the sentry: "We are the 4th Regiment of the 5th Division of the Hungarian Republican Army, and this is our deputy commander, Major Knowles. This time I thank your country for saving our people from the evil rule of the People's Army, and now we intend to travel to the capital, Budapest. ”

When the sentry heard the officer's words, he said, "Wait here, I need to report to our superiors." ”

After saying that, he immediately ran back and informed the company commander.

"The ranks of the Republican Army, want to go to Budapest?"

Listening to the sentry's words, the company commander knew that this matter had to be reported, but the company commander would not let this company commander go to the Republican Army out of nowhere. "Let them wait at a distance of two kilometers outside the station, and open fire without an order to dare to approach. What a mess of the Republican Army, why didn't I see it when I was fighting the People's Army, and I came out picking peaches. ”

It seems that the company commander is a little unkind to see this army.

And the sentinel's words made the armed forces of the Hungarian Republican Army a little commotion. Their major-lieutenant looked at the sentry in front of him with an angry face, but the undaunted Romanian soldier stepped forward. In the end, the deputy head of the regiment felt that his arm could not twist his thigh, so he could only accept it helplessly.

And this situation was immediately reported by the company commander, which made Admiral Salamik, who had just captured Budapest and relieved his embarrassment, a little angry. Of course, the admiral knew that this republican army was the armed forces of the Hungarian republican government that had retreated to its southern city. However, there is no clear attitude towards this government in Romania at present, and everything has to wait for the decision of the Entente.

In this intervention, it was mainly Romania that sent troops, and the intervention was basically supported by Romania. But Romania has no rights at all when it comes to the choice of the future Hungarian government.

Moreover, the purpose of this expedition was clear, that is, to determine that the territory east of the Tisza River belonged to Romania. So for the Hungarian republican government, Romania has no interest at all.

"Drive them away."

Admiral Salamik finally decided to drive away the people who had come to pick up the bargains, and as for what to do in the future, he had to wait for instructions from home.

After the order of the admiral, a regiment of Romanian troops was dispatched to drive the Republican army, which had come to take over Budapest, out of the Budapest range. In the face of the Romanian army's drive, these republican forces could only get out of the way.

Coincidentally, in addition to Budapest, in many cities on the east bank of the Danube currently occupied by Romania, there were armed republican troops, and these people were driven out by the local Romanian garrison. This situation attracted the attention of the Romanian side, and after some investigation, the impetus behind the matter was also revealed. Admiral Holtie, who was the commander of the Hungarian Republican Army, was doing these small things.
