When Bretianu sent back to Romania by telegram the terms of the negotiated intervention in Hungary, Eder was discussing with Admiral Prishan about fighting Hungary.

The disarmament programme that had been negotiated before could only be put on hold for the time being. And Prieshan also has no opinion on this, who makes the Hungarians suddenly unable to think about it.

"How do you want to fight this time?"

Eder's inquiry, Preshan pointed to the map and said, "Your Majesty, in this battle, we plan to divide our forces and force the enemy out of the city for a decisive battle. ”

His Excellency the Admiral went on to explain: "The General Staff has studied the ways in which the Communist Party of Soviet Russia and Hungary are organized during this time, and has found that there is no difference between the two. And Soviet Russia in the Russian Civil War, its mobilization ability was very good. Therefore, in order to undermine its ability to mobilize, priority was given to taking the surrounding cities, and cutting off the connection between the regime and the people became the focus. ”

Edel listened to Admiral Prishan's words and spoke with interest: "Is there anything else? ”

"There are a few other considerations."

"Tell me about it."

Preshan continued: "In addition to the use of a large number of troops, this mode of warfare is better than being steady. Moreover, in this operation, our two allies dispatched too few troops, mainly relying on ourselves. So risk reduction is also one of the considerations. ”

Hearing Preshan say the two allies euphemistically, Eder knew that this was a polite statement, in essence, these two allies could be described as playing soy sauce. The Romanian military had already contacted the two countries for this intervention, and the two countries agreed to the intervention. However, after discussing the specific number of troops, they all complained bitterly.

Serbia says it needs to calm its minds, maintain local stability, and it needs to keep an eye on Austria. So only 20,000 troops could be sent. And the Czech Republic also sent 10,000 troops on the grounds that it was independent and did not have many troops, and it also needed to be wary of the behemoth around it, Germany.

A total of 30,000 troops were sent to these two goods, is this intended to intervene in Hungary, or to strengthen border patrols?

You must know that the Hungarian government, which is currently in power by the Communist Party, has already had 130,000 troops through agitation. And the General Staff has done research, if they launch a general mobilization, then they can still recruit between 300,000 and 500,000 troops.

Therefore, in order to weaken its mobilization capability to the greatest extent, this time the General Staff will mobilize 180,000 troops, divide them into three routes, and then gather near Budapest for a decisive battle.

Considering that the Hungarian Communist Party used the same policy as that of Soviet Russia, the quality and ability of its senior officers in the army were relatively low, and the morale of the lower-ranking officers should be very high, it is very likely that only simpler tactics would be used, so the Romanian army will have a high artillery and machine gun configuration this time. Cool the minds of these Hungarian metal storms and dispel the frenzy in their heads.

"Your Majesty, this time we will mainly mobilize the divisions before the twenty-fifth number, plus a few divisions in the early forties that are performing well. Coupled with sufficient technical weapons, this is definitely not something that these Hungarians can resist. And we have five divisions in Bekeschobao and Staraya Bari, east of the Tisa River, ready to respond to emergencies. ”

Admiral Prishan told in detail in front of Eder about the plans of the General Staff.

Edel listened and nodded repeatedly, it seemed that the General Staff had done a good job and had taken all aspects into account.

He had nothing else to ask about the troops, and Edel asked another question. "So who are you going to let lead the team this time?"

"We're going to make ......"

"Click, click, click."

A knock on the door interrupted Prishan's conversation. Eder and the Chief of the General Staff looked at each other, both seeing doubt in each other's eyes.

Eventually, His Excellency said, "It may be something important. ”

"Come in."

As Edel shouted, a red-faced guard walked in with a telegram.

Without waiting for Eder to ask, he said the reason for the knock: "This is an urgent telegram from the Prime Minister from Paris, and I feel a little urgent, so I knocked on the door." ”

Edel took the telegram and waved it to him, "It's okay, don't be so restrained. Okay, I've received the telegram, you go out first. ”

After sending the guards away, Edel tore open the seal and took a quick look at the ten lines.

This telegram was the result of negotiations between the Prime Minister and the Entente. In addition, the telegram also explained the change in the attitude of the Entente countries during the negotiations, and the prime minister also explained. In a word, the United States, Britain and France are now highly vigilant against Romania and any possible pursuit of interests in the Balkans and Central Europe.

It seems that Romania still has a long way to go if it wants to break through that boundary and become a great power.

"The Prime Minister and the Entente have negotiated, and this is the result."

After reading the telegram, Eder looked at Prishan with a curious look on his face and handed him the telegram in his hand.

"Great, I'll see how the Prime Minister talks."

Preshan took the telegram as he spoke, and it seemed that he was up. As time went on, the look on Prishan's face became ugly, and finally he slapped the telegram on the table and said indignantly: "This is simply too much deception, they don't want us to live too well." ”

Seeing the anger of Prishan, Edel persuaded instead: "All right, Prishan. The results of this talk are not bad. At least we have settled east of the Tissa, and the region of Galicia has also cut off Polish attempts to make finger infections. ”

Eder's words moved Prishan's heart, and he couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, you mean ......?"

Thinking that this was probably not going to be able to hide it from him for too long, Eder also opened his attitude: "Yes, you are right. I do intend to annex the Galicia region to Romania. And the Odessa and Vinnytsia regions, which we still occupy at the moment, I also have such thoughts. ”

Hearing Eder open up about his intentions, Preshan said with some surprise: "If those Ukrainians know about this, I'm afraid they will find us desperately." ”

"Are you afraid?"

At this time, how could Prishan be cowardly. "Of course not afraid, these Ukrainians have taught them a lesson, and if we come again, we can hit Kyiv. The main thing is that these Ukrainians will not fight with us, and they will provoke the local population to have a soft confrontation with us, which will take a lot of energy. ”

In response to Prissan's concerns, Eder laughed and said, "They don't have a chance. Denikin has already led the Russian army to Moscow, and whether it is Soviet Russia or Denikin wins, they will fight Ukraine's idea. They are the great enemies of these Ukraine, as long as we don't move, these Ukrainians will not ask for trouble. ”

After briefly explaining the situation in Ukraine and Russia, Eder continued: "So we need to use this gap to get the Hungarian business done. Otherwise, in the next turmoil in Ukraine, if we don't have enough strength, no one will care what we say. ”

After understanding the king's intentions, Prishan said excitedly: "Okay Your Majesty, I will speed up the mobilization of troops, and we will not miss the chaos in Ukraine." ”

"Don't be in a hurry and let the materials and ministry preparations incomplete, it's not good."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have been in the army for many years, and I will not make such low-level mistakes. ”

It seems that expanding territory is an irresistible temptation for anyone.

The Chief of the General Staff did as he said, and immediately after returning to the General Staff, he asked the troops who had been transferred to speed up. And also let Admiral Salamik, who was on the front line in Hungary, give priority to preparing supplies. Military operations can be launched only after the troops are assembled.

The news of Romania's large-scale redeployment of troops could not be concealed at all, and the Hungarian Soviet government also learned of this news and immediately thought of a solution.
