At Tolifer's barracks, just outside Warsaw, a military meeting between Romania and Poland is underway.

"Salute."

At the sound of a slogan, the Polish soldiers who stood straight immediately saluted in unison. The military salute was accompanied by two bigwigs, Pilsudski and Fereit, who walked slowly past the soldiers.

"The heroic appearance of the Polish soldiers is good, and I see from them that they are disciplined and brave in battle."

Admiral Fereit, who had walked by, opened his mouth to praise the Polish soldiers.

"Your Excellency has overdone it. The capabilities of the Romanian army were vividly demonstrated in previous wars. There is still a gap between us and you. ”

In the face of Admiral Fereitt's praise, Pilsudski did not feel much smug. He had seen with his own eyes the strength of the Romanian army, which was still far from the Polish army. And this meeting with the Chief of the General Staff of Romania, Colonel-General Ferreuit, was also aimed at strengthening the Polish army.

"Where, it is not difficult for the Polish army, under the leadership of Your Excellency, to surpass us."

The two men spoke briefly and fostered personal affection, while the other officers followed them to a spacious conference room.

"I'm sorry, but at the moment our talks can only take place here."

"It doesn't matter, we're all soldiers, and we don't pay so much attention to it."

In a short sentence, Admiral Fereit was keenly aware of the delicate relationship between the Polish army and the government. But if you think about it, it's also about military cooperation, and choosing this barracks instead of somewhere else can tell a lot. This is also good, ruling out the possibility of the military and the government playing tricks.

However, considering the delicate relationship between the Polish government and the army, Fereit was a little worried about this ally. Because, like Germany, the Polish army had a unique political position within its country. And they don't have a powerful figure who can unite the two sides (such as Eder), so their internal friction is likely to increase until a winner is decided.

This is not only the view of Admiral Ferreuit, but also the general view of the current delegation. However, this will have little effect on Romania, because whoever has the advantage will need Romania as an ally.

"Your Excellency, this is a proposal from our country to cooperate with the Romanian military, please take a look."

After the guests of honor were seated, Pilsudski took the draft of cooperation from the officers next to him and handed it to Admiral Fereit. Subsequently, a large number of draft cooperation was distributed to the officers on the Romanian side.

Admiral Fereit, who had taken over the draft of the cooperation, did not look at it, because his officers would do it well, while he chatted with Pilsudski.

As a matter of fact, the Polish side has prepared a lot of articles for this military cooperation, involving as many as 467 articles in all aspects of the army, mainly on the technical arms such as cavalry, tanks, aircraft, and artillery.

In fact, Pilsudski was very interested in the battle in which the Romanian cavalry mixed armored forces defeated the Russian cavalry First Army. Not only did he personally inquire about the specific situation of the fighting, but he also went to the field to investigate. Because the topography of Poland determines that its vast plain terrain is unobstructed, it is very unfavorable for defense. In particular, the main opponent, the Soviet Union, had a large cavalry force, which made Pilsudski feel even more worried.

Unlike the Western European continent, which has been cut, cavalry is still a very deterrent in the vast and incomplete road infrastructure of the Eastern European Plain. As one of the leading countries in the new Eastern Europe, Poland also has the second largest cavalry force in Europe. Despite the large number of cavalry, the Soviet cavalry was too large (almost equal to the cavalry of other European countries combined) and the Poles were under great pressure.

And at this time, the tank, a new thing that somewhat restrained cavalry, came into Pilsudski's eyes. What's more, Romania had already demonstrated the use of tanks in conjunction with cavalry against the Soviet Union's huge cavalry forces in previous battles. The Poles, of course, wanted to learn and build up their own armored cavalry units.

That's right, what the Poles learned in that battle was armored cavalry. In the eyes of Polish officers, mixing tanks and armored vehicles with cavalry would solve both the problem of insufficient cavalry ability to attack fortified positions and the problem of combatants following, which was simply the best of both worlds.

As for the Romanian armored brigade, which concentrates tanks and armored vehicles, it seems to the Poles to be too wasteful. The use of armoured brigades alone is too large and inflexible, and it also requires the temporary deployment of other units to demonstrate their strong combat effectiveness. This is too complicated to be used in everyday battles, and can only be revealed at the moment of decisive battle.

According to Poland's practice, the current Polish cavalry brigade (small brigade) is subordinate to an armored battalion (two tank companies and one maintenance company), with 21 tanks (12 light armored companies and 9 medium armored companies) as an assault force. Such an establishment will play a huge role in skirmishes.

The military cooperation negotiated with Admiral Fereit this time was intended to learn the use of armor from Romania. Moreover, in order to ensure the smooth study, Poland also plans to introduce Jackal III tanks from Romania as the vehicle of the armored cavalry brigade, in addition to equipping the armored cavalry brigade with Jackal III tanks, the Poles also equip it with a large number of Renault F-17 light tanks.

However, unlike the Jackal III, which requires real money to buy, the Renault F-17 is basically military aid sent by Britain and France. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the armored cavalry brigade, the Renault-17 will only be equipped with one light armored company, and the other company will be equipped with Jackal III tanks.

According to this plan, Poland will import nearly 100 Jackal-3 tanks from Romania. However, this is not for nothing, and the drawings of the Jackal III tank will also be handed over to Poland. In addition to this, Volkswagen will also send people to guide Poland in setting up its own tank factory to produce its parts and wholes.

This is only part of Poland's draft military cooperation on tanks, in fact, this cooperation plan is that Romania is currently proud of tanks, armored vehicles, aircraft, as well as staff officers, logistics and other aspects of cooperation with the Polish military. Of course, the Polish military did not let the Romanian military cooperate in vain, and a large amount of funds for its arms procurement would be transferred to Romania. And Poland also had some things that interested Romania, such as the use of cavalry.

In addition to the talks between General Fereit and Pilsudski on military cooperation between the two countries, Poland has also signed a number of agreements with Romania on the government side, mainly in energy, trade and other areas to strengthen cooperation.

The talks also focused on the two countries' interest in their diaspora, primarily the creation of a heavy industrial base in the Lviv region, which caused some complaints from the Poles who had previously moved out of the region. They believe that the Romanian government tricked them into leaving the city and made them miss out on many benefits. Therefore, there has always been a call in Poland for Poland to negotiate with Romania on the issue of nationality between the two countries, mainly because Poland hopes that Romania will recognize dual citizenship.

And Eder, who is at the helm of Romania, is reluctant to do this, because dual citizenship is very bad for Romania at the moment. So the two countries did not talk on this issue, which disappointed many Poles.

However, during the more than a week of Poland's visit, Romania reached a number of favorable agreements with Poland in terms of economy, military and diplomacy. These agreements were also a strong guarantee of what would become a relationship between Romania and Poland, which was not broken until the European continent changed dramatically.
