After the two blocs competed for Romanian oil, Eder also put his mind down on this. Now the war in Europe is the main theme, and although Romania is still mainly developing its economy, it is still paying enough attention to this war.

After all, there are many new military theories and technologies that have been used in the war in Europe, and Romania also needs first-hand information, so it is urgent to send a military observer mission.

Today, Admiral Prishan took the list of the two major Romanian groups and handed it over to the crown prince for inspection and approval. Then these heroes of the Romanian army can observe the development of the war up close, and see the military level of the European powers. You can let your own army find out the strengths and weaknesses, correct and improve your own strength.

In the palace, Admiral Pletsan handed the list to the crown prince and spoke. "Your Highness, this is the list prepared by our staff, Your Highness can check it out."

Edel took the list and took a cursory look at it, and there were many talents in the army that he knew. Among them, Lieutenant Colonel Sanprott, Lieutenant Colonel Antonescu, and Major Hoffman covered all the professionals of the known army, and this was only the officers of the observation mission sent by the army. The list of naval officers was also on it, among which Lieutenant Colonel Midrafael, Lieutenant Colonel Tiskolku, Major Birk, etc., were also candidates he had seen.

Moreover, the commander of the military observer mission to the Allied side was the new deputy commander of the 3rd Division, Major General Dorex. He was promoted after Major General Kledov, the former deputy commander of the 3rd Division, was promoted to commander of the 15th Division. Previously, he was a brigade commander in the 2nd Brigade of the 12th Division, and he performed well in the Second Balkan War, so he was promoted to the 3rd Division as deputy commander.

This time he was able to be appointed as the commander of the military observation mission in the military observation mission, which was also related to his experience, and he studied at the German military academy before and was able to understand the command and operation of the German army. However, it is more that he is only 38 years old this year, and he is more receptive to new things, so he was named as the head of the regiment by Admiral Pulieshan.

The other regimental commander stationed in the Entente was Major General Bordorp, deputy commander of the 1st Division, who did not have as much energy as Major General Dorex, but he was also a well-known person in the army who was familiar with the French army, so he was named by General Prémont to lead the military observation mission in France.

It seems that in order to make the elite of the Romanian army feel the modern war, the Chief of the General Staff, General Prueshan, also took great pains.

Eder was pleased with the list submitted by Admiral Pryshang. As for the accidental casualties, it is just bad luck, and no one can guarantee their safety in this dangerous place of the battlefield.

"Just follow the list above."

After reading it, Eder handed the list of 93 people to Admiral Pryshang.

As for the surprise, he was only surprised that Lieutenant Colonel Antonescu appeared on this list. I haven't seen this later dictator for a few years, and I didn't expect to be released by the chief of the General Staff, Preshan, and the rank was also mentioned as lieutenant colonel. However, considering that this person also has good command skills in later history, it makes sense that he still stands out without being taken care of by the crown prince.

Lieutenant Colonel Antonescu, who didn't know that he was missing, was chatting with other officers who would be sent in the future. This time, Admiral Preshan gathered the officers before handing the list to the crown prince for inspection. It's not that Admiral Prieshan is inflated, it's that he has this confidence that the crown prince will not refute the candidates on the list.

Now these officers are taking advantage of this rare opportunity to get to know each other. After all, everyone is usually very busy, and if you don't take this opportunity to learn more, there won't be many such opportunities in the future. So everyone is walking to each other, otherwise the painstaking efforts of letting the Chief of the General Staff Prishan arrange them together will be wasted.

However, there are still people who do not understand the painstaking efforts of the Chief of the General Staff, such as the Major named Hoffmann in front of Lieutenant Colonel Antonescu. Lieutenant Colonel Antonescu, after getting to know a number of his colleagues, accidentally walked to the door of the room and saw Major Hoffman, who was still lying on the table and dealing with his own problems.

Of course, if Major Hoffman didn't say it, such new terms as "wheeled armored vehicles", "tracked armored vehicles", and "how armored vehicles should command infantry to fight together". Then Lieutenant Colonel Antonescu would have long since turned away, and after hearing this, of course, he could not leave. He is well-informed, and after being valued by Pureshan, he can get a lot of information from the staff officers, not to mention that he has also worked in the staff department.

Now as a cavalry officer, he is also very interested in the formation of an armored experimental battalion, and now that he meets this main person in charge, of course, he cannot miss the opportunity to discuss it. So he went into the room and discussed the use of armored vehicles with Major Hoffman. Major Hoffmann, of course, was unhappy with Lieutenant Colonel Antonescu who suddenly walked in, but after talking to the lieutenant colonel, he was also inspired by his thinking.

Major Hoffman was born as a teacher at a military academy, so he wanted to understand many issues thoroughly, so he showed hesitation when there were many trade-offs, showing his nerdy nature. In the past few years, he has changed his rotation in the army to reduce this aura a lot, but he has not completely departed, and sometimes it is still obvious.

And Lieutenant Colonel Antonescu, because he has been serving in the cavalry unit and has only two years to work in the general staff, he has a sporadic mind. Now two people with different thinking get along together, and they can get different ideas from each other's mouths, so now the two have quickly developed from not knowing each other to talking happily. Now Major Hoffman is asking about the considerations of the model of the armored car on its opposite side.

"Lieutenant Colonel Antonescu, which of the two armored vehicles do you think is in line with the current development?"

"I think how you can use it, for example, you said that wheeled armored vehicles can only run on roads, and I think you have a good reference for armored trains, which can only travel on railways. The tracked armored vehicle is slow, just like the heavy cavalry that was eliminated before, although the speed is slow, it is also a piece of armor that the enemy can't penetrate, so you can consider both aspects. ”

Antonescu faced Hoffman's problem, and could only find comparisons from what he knew, but fortunately he found it well.

In the face of Antonescu's words, Hoffman was very inspired, and he happily spoke to the officer he had just knew. "It seems that we need tracked armored vehicles so that we can overcome the enemy's defenses, but now tracked vehicles are not fast."

Antonescu asked curiously. "Now how fast can you say that tracked armored vehicles can go?"

In the face of this new acquaintance of the lieutenant colonel's inquiry, Hoffman also gave the answer. "Now we can run 15 or 6 kilometers per hour, and there are quite a lot of breakdowns. I asked the people in the design department of Volkswagen to continue to improve, and at least the failure rate must be reduced. ”

Just as Antonescu was about to continue the questioning, he suddenly heard a broadcast. "Note that all officers participating in the Military Observer Mission assemble in the lobby."

The two hurriedly put down the topic and left the room, and gathered in the hall with the officers who came out together. When they reached the hall, they lined up according to their height, with four columns of army officers in dark green troops and two columns of naval officers in sky blue uniforms. And they were about the same height, so the two were lined up.

After the platoon, the two Major Generals Dorex and Bordorp, who were in charge of leading the team, walked up to them.

"The officers whose names I pronounce now will go with me to the Allied front as military observers, and the other officers will go with General Bordorp to the Entente."

After Major-General Dorex finished speaking, he suddenly asked loudly, "Did you hear it all clearly?" ”

The straight officers standing in front of them shouted in unison. "Clear."

Major General Dorex nodded in satisfaction and began to read his name. "Colonel Bosque."

"To"

"Colonel Videl."

"To"

"Lieutenant Colonel Sanprot."

"To"

Watching Major General Dorex read his name, Antonescu whispered to Hoffman. "It's best if we can get together."

Hoffman thought that the lieutenant colonel, whom he had just knew, was not bad, so he also whispered a response. "I hope so."

At this time, Major General Dorex chanted loudly. "Lieutenant Colonel Antonescu."

Antonescu replied with a straight back. "To"

And after the entire list of Major General Dorex was read, there was still no name of Major Hoffmann, and it seemed that their wish was about to be frustrated. In fact, this list shows that this time the officers are going to the outstanding part of the country, for example, Lieutenant Colonel Antonescu is a cavalry officer, and he will be assigned to the German Eastern Front. Major Hoffman, on the other hand, was an armored vehicle officer, so he was placed on the Anglo-French side with more armored vehicles.

Major General Dorex said aloud after reading. "You have two more days, and then you will assemble here, and Major General Bordorp and I will take you to the battlefield separately. Don't forget to ask for a suicide note, even military observers can be dangerous. ”

After speaking, Major General Dolex shouted loudly. "Disbanded."

So the officers who had been gathered together were scattered, and now they were to be on their way to the front in two days' time, and although they did not fight, each officer had a heavy heart.
