The British and French representatives, who were surprised by the words of Major General Dotov, soon returned to the negotiating table the next day, and it seemed that they had recovered, the only difference was that the British Foreign Secretary was followed by a general in a general's uniform. This man, Major General Dotov, was known through photographs, this is the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force, General Haig, which also shows the importance that the British side attached to the Romanian proposal.

As soon as Admiral Haig arrived, he stared at Major General Dontov and spoke unceremoniously. "I heard from Mr. Balfour that the Major General has objections to the use of our Anzac?"

In the middle of his voice, the admiral also accentuated the tone of the major general, and it seemed that he was dissatisfied with the fact that the Romanians had too long hands and dared to ask the British Imperial Army.

In the face of the general's questioning, Major General Dotov was not in a hurry, he was already ready to deal with this situation at home, and the Romanian military had prepared several plans for him in response to this situation. "Your Excellency, I do not intend to offend the use of the British Empire in the army, but to propose more feasible options."

Major General Dotov stopped at this point, took out a map and pointed to the location of Bulgaria. "Ladies and gentlemen, look."

Dotov's move caused the negotiators to gather around, especially the two generals, Pétain and Haig, because they knew that the Romanian negotiator would definitely talk about the military aspects.

Sure enough, after seeing that everyone was looking around at him, Dotov said what he meant. "Gentlemen, Bulgaria is the easiest of the Central Powers to break, and its position is quite important. He was the key point of railway transportation between the Ottomans and Germany, and it was the constant flow of weapons and equipment from Germany to the Ottomans, and the raw materials from the Ottomans were also transported to Germany through here, which made the powerful fleet useless. ”

Hearing Dotov's words made the British and French negotiators secretly hurt themselves. In fact, as the Romanians say, most of the Ottoman weapons and equipment came from Germany, especially in the Middle East, most of the weapons captured by the Ottoman army were engraved in German. Wool, cotton, copper ore and other raw materials from the Ottomans also strongly supported Germany's military industry and light industry.

Faced with Dotov's somewhat face-hurting words, French Foreign Minister Jean Pichon took over and asked. "Indeed, as Your Excellency said, then you mean ......"

Dotov threw a grateful look at the French Foreign Minister, who answered the words too well. He continued: "To be exact, we Romania meant to withdraw Bulgaria from the war first. ”

"Here I will tell you what we have learned, the current situation in Bulgaria is the most severe, and its domestic materials are quite tight, especially food and textiles related to people's livelihood. In particular, famine has been caused in Bulgaria's Kerdjali and Haskovo, and local people have begun to flee. Moreover, Bulgaria is also the weakest militarily, and it is easy to be crushed by us with one blow. ”

At this time, Pétain, as the commander-in-chief of the French army, asked a crucial question. "What if our offensive attracts reinforcements from the German-Austrian army?"

Petain's words discouraged many of those who had been intrigued by Dotoff. The Entente will attack Bulgaria, Germany and Austria will certainly not sit idly by, and it just so happens that if Russia withdraws from the war, reinforcements will become inevitable, and this is not another useless work.

Hearing Petain's inquiry, Dotov smiled and spoke. "Your Excellency, you don't have to worry about the reinforcements of Germany and Austria at all, for the smooth implementation of the Bulgarian campaign, we have decided to launch an attack on the Austro-Hungarian hinterland to contain its actions."

He pointed to a point on the map. "Transylvania is the target we have chosen. This is not far from the Hungarian Plain, one of the core of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and as long as we Romania attack here, Germany and Austria will definitely be heavily reinforced, then the Bulgarian campaign will be carried out smoothly. ”

Major General Dotov's words surprised the British and French negotiators present, who did not expect that Romania planned to attack first, and it was on the Transylvanian plateau, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

This made Admiral Petain can't help but ask. "You're sure you're attacking the Transylvanian plateau, it's not easy to fight there."

In response to Petain's kind reminder, Major General Dontov responded. "Thank you for your concern, we are still quite sure of attacking the area, because most of the local people are Romanian, so we have the confidence to attack the area."

Seeing that the Romanians were very confident, Admiral Petain was reluctant to say more. If Romania retreats, then Bulgaria will not be able to expand and be depressed. However, there were still people present who guessed Romania's intentions, but as long as it did not affect the Bulgarian strategy, then Romania's careful thinking was not broken.

It can be said that this is the skill of language, if it is said that Romania is preparing to attack the Transylvania region, and then it is said that it is attacking Bulgaria, then it will inevitably be regarded as the Entente covering Romania. Now the reverse is to become Romania to cover for the Entente, in fact, the effect is the same, this is the skill of speaking.

The British and French representatives were intrigued by the words of Major General Dotov, and even Admiral Haig, who at first had a bit of a hint of guilt, carefully inquired about some points about the conduct of the Bulgarian campaign. It can be seen that the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force is also moved.

Major General Dotov consulted with Generals Pétain and Haig about the Bulgarian campaign, while Barnoske, as plenipotentiary, approached representatives of the British and French governments to discuss other aid to Romania.

You must know that Britain and France, as old powers, still have a lot of good things that make Romania covet, such as the new planes of Britain and France. To put it mildly, Romania now has a Goshawk fighter and a newly developed samurai bomber, and now it is gradually lagging behind in the face of the research and development capabilities of Britain and France regardless of funds, .5 fighters and French camel fighters.

In addition, the most coveted by Romania is the French Schneider 155 gun, the latest improved version of this artillery has made the Romanian military drool.

The French Schneider 155 howitzer is much more than the German 150 howitzer that Romania is equipped with today, both in terms of range (11,900 m vs. 8500 m) and muzzle velocity (450 m/s vs. 325 m/s), the only downside is that it is much heavier than the German artillery, but this is nothing for the Romanian army that will focus on the Ukrainian plains in the future.

The Romanian negotiations went smoothly, and Britain and France were not too entangled in either the military planning of the Bulgarian campaign or the introduction of military technology, and it was evident that they were eager to enter the Romanian army. Eventually, after five days of intense negotiations, Romania and Britain and France agreed on conditions for joining the Entente, which were soon sent to Bucharest.
