Chapter 363: Whale Swallowing (2)
After the order of General Prieshan, several units of the Transylvanian Army Group were transferred to the Moldavian Army Group. The cavalry division, the 1st Janissary Division, the 3rd Division, the 7th Division, and the Armored Brigade were all withdrawn, leaving only a few standing divisions to cooperate with the mobilization of troops to keep an eye on the disheartened Austro-Hungarian army across the river.
Moreover, in the telegram of Admiral Preshan, Admiral Salamik hinted to him that the Hungarians in the occupied territories should be driven west of the Tisza River as much as possible. Of course, the only person who can make Admiral Prieshan do this is our protagonist, His Majesty Eder.
With the issuance of this secret order, the Romanian army began a campaign to purge the newly occupied territory of Hungary. A large number of Hungarians, who lived in the area, were driven west of the Tisza River. At the request of Romania, these people are allowed to leave with their belongings. However, as the majority of the Hungarians who were expelled, their main property was real estate such as houses and land. So this led to a collapse in real estate prices in the region, with a large number of Romanian nationals who were eligible to buy them flocking to snap up the properties they had been forced to abandon.
According to later statistics, a total of 2.06 million Hungarians were expelled from the land in a one-year period from July '18 to June '19. The loss ranged from $554 million to $637 million, which also led to hatred between Hungarians and Romanians. This hostility continued into later generations, and even the two countries were not able to resolve it in one camp during World War II. However, the strength of the two countries has created a huge gap over time.
However, this outcome had been expected by Eder for a long time. It is strange that such a large territory has been drawn from the territory of Hungary, and it is not hostile, since it is already hostile, it is better to be more hostile. All this is the result of the evil planted by the Hungarians themselves over the years, look at the countries around the future Kingdom of Hungary, who has not driven out the Hungarians in this way, but Romania is the first to take the lead. And if there are too many Hungarians in the area, it will create a hidden danger for the new territory.
In Eder's inner plan for the future, the future must allow Romanians to occupy six floors of the nation. The remaining four layers are Ukrainians, Poles, Bulgarians, Hungarians and other ethnic groups, which are also necessary conditions for the country to maintain stability. And in order to ensure this minimum ratio, it is not surprising that methods such as expulsion, suppression, inducement, and tampering are not surprising.
Nationalities with a strong sense of nationality need to be driven out and suppressed, while those with a weak consciousness can be differentiated and induced, or even directly tampered with. And everything Eder did was to make Romania stronger.
Romania's expulsion campaign in the newly occupied territories has attracted a lot of attention from public opinion and people at home and abroad. Many of these people are accusatory about this, and Eder's method of doing this is to cover up the news from abroad. Guide and suppress domestic public opinion, let these people who have nothing to do, and let them pay more attention to the soldiers who are fighting bloodily for the country on the front line.
Foreign people are paying attention to the Romanian expulsion campaign, but as a government, they are not idle to pay attention to this, and they are focusing on the Romanian mobilization of troops. On the railway from Transylvania to Moldavia, which circumnavigates the Carpathians, trains are moving at a rapid speed around the clock. It was loaded with soldiers and cannons, tanks and other equipment covered with tarpaulins, all showing Romania transporting troops.
Of course, it is impossible for such a large-scale transshipment operation to hide from other countries, and Romania does not intend to hide it. Take the armored brigade as an example, the transfer of personnel and equipment for the whole brigade requires 21 trains of 20 cars, not to mention the subsequent replenishment of ammunition and fuel. So many trains loaded with officers and soldiers and equipment can be observed by anyone who cares.
The move of Romania to send troops naturally attracted the attention of Marshal Mackensen, who was currently in Voliff.
As commander-in-chief of the German forces on the Eastern Front, Field Marshal Mackensen was currently concerned not only with the Romanian army, but also from Russia to seize security from the territory. However, in the eyes of His Excellency the Marshal, the greatest threat came from Romania.
So in terms of energy, it is basically on the front line of Romania. As for other regions, there is some laissez-faire in it, so the current security environment in these newly occupied territories can be imagined. However, no matter how bad the security environment in these places is, it is much stronger than the Russian civil war.
"Marshal, the current Romanian actions must be directed at us, what should we do?"
At the headquarters, the Chief of Staff, Major General Max Huffmann, after reviewing the information that had been detected, asked for the opinion of Marshal Mackensen.
Marshal Markensen, who did not wear his own death hussar cap because of the heat, looked at the battle map and said unhurriedly: "Then why did Romania rush at us. ”
"Because we are around them, the only threat ......"
When Major General Huffmann, who was questioned by Marshal Mackensen, replied, a thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately reacted: "You mean they just want to drive us away from Galicia?"
Major General Huffman's ability, Marshal Mackensen still very much agreed.
"That's right. The Romanian-majority region of East Moldavia, they did not take it back first, because we were here to hinder their movements. ”
Instead of prioritizing the battle situation, Mackensen was concerned about East Moldavia, so Huffman couldn't help but ask, "So what do you mean, marshal?"
Faced with the inquiry of his own chief of staff, Marshal Mackensen smiled slightly: "Why are we blocking these Romanians. Let them fight with the Ukrainians, who feel the joy of independence, and whoever wins this territory will go. ”
Hearing the marshal's decision, Major General Huffmann said with some concern: "But what should we do with the instructions from Berlin?"
"It's simple. We have not replenished our personnel and ammunition, and there is a lot of resentment in the army, and there is no way to continue fighting. ”
Hearing the marshal's words, Major General Huffman also nodded bitterly in agreement with this statement. Since the signing of the peace treaty with Russia, the Eastern Front has received little material replenishment. Even a lot of the ammunition used in the last attack on Romania was diverted from stocks in other regions. And the marshal did not lie either, after the last battle of Moldavia, Berlin really did not replenish the losses of their personnel and ammunition. If they hadn't collected some from other areas, the soldiers would have had to use the loot they had captured.
At present, the only thing that the German army on the Eastern Front is better than the Western Front is that it eats better than the German army on the Western Front, after all, it is all plains, and there is no problem in raising food.
"Then I'll send a message to Kyiv and ask these Ukrainians to send troops over to take over the defense."
"Go ahead."
