With Ferdinand's order, the good days of the Kingdom of Romania came to an end.

Of course, the Romanian king Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen-Ferdinand certainly did not think so, having never had a good day since he ascended the throne.

None of the three neighbors, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Russian Empire, and the Kingdom of Bulgaria, was to be provoked, especially after the outbreak of the world war, and he was declared war before he could react.

He was also surrounded by the capitalists in Romania, who originally wanted to wait for the Entente to win over them so that they could take refuge in the past, but they didn't expect that they would even give them a chance, and they would directly treat them as enemies.

It's not how far-sighted they are, it's mainly determined by geography, caught between the two countries. They don't know if they will win in the end, but Romania's participation in the Central Powers will definitely be the first time to finish.

If they had a choice, they would rather act as ostriches and pretend to be stupid, saying that they had not received the Entente's war letter.

In fact, they also did it, sold well to the Entente countries through various channels, and even colluded with Britain and France, but it was useless, and only the two countries that had a say in the Black Sea region were the two countries!

Ferdinand knew all this, but he still chose to pretend to be confused, pulling each other's backs, and everyone was doing it. How could Bulgaria have unified the Balkans without Romania being resolved?

For the Romanian government, it's good now, it can be relieved directly, anyway, winning and losing is in this wave, losing is all over, and winning is another wave.

"Guys, how are we going to fight this war?" The Romanian king asked with a wry smile

The Minister of War was embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, in the face of the attack of the two countries at the same time, don't talk about us, even Austria-Hungary will not be able to hold it!"

Judging from the current situation, we can only rely on the Germans, if Germany is willing to send reinforcements, this war can still be fought, otherwise we may not be able to withstand it for long! ”

The prime minister shook his head and said: "The Germans are far from quenching their thirst now, they are attacking France together with Italy, if we can hold out for a few months, then there is hope that the Germans will defeat France, and then move eastward!" ”

The Romanian king said expectantly: "What about Austria-Hungary?" They can't just watch us finish!

Once we are finished, Hungary's security will not be guaranteed, and unless Austria-Hungary wants to open another front, they will surely send troops to rescue us! ”

The Foreign Secretary explained: "Your Majesty, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is now in danger of defending itself, they are being pressed and beaten by the Russians on the Eastern Front, and the Balkans are being forced to Belgrade by Bulgaria.

At the same time, fighting on two fronts, Austria-Hungary now has not many mobile forces in the country, and our national defense and security still have to rely on our own efforts! ”

It can only be said that after the death of Carol I, the organizational capacity of the Romanian government decreased considerably.

What's more critical is that the two enemies are too powerful, and the Romanians in the Second Balkan War have been beaten out of the shadow in their hearts, and they are naturally lacking in confidence in the face of Bulgaria.

And the Russian Empire, not to mention, the prestige of the European steamroller is famous, as his neighbor Romania is not afraid, it is strange!

……

War is not transferred by the will of individuals, no matter how reluctant they may be in their hearts, but the enemy has already fought.

If the front line cannot be held, the Bulgarian army will soon come to Bucharest for the second time and fight another battle for the defense of the capital?

This was a difficult problem for the Romanian government, for there was no possibility of diplomatic mediation, and the Allies and Entente were bound to fall.

Even the road to surrender is blocked for them! There is no way that Bulgaria's attempt to unify the Balkans is already well known; Not to mention the hairy bears, their greed for the land is never-ending!

Running into these two neighbors, the Romanian government is now crying without tears!

Originally, Bulgaria still paid attention to eating appearances, and as a traverser, Ferdinand knew that if the country was not right, the rule behind it would be very troublesome.

Therefore, when waging war, it is always necessary to find a high-sounding reason. And rarely take the lead in provoking wars, most of the time it is to let the enemy strike first and then counterattack, throwing out the black cauldron of starting a war.

If there had not been a second Balkan war, Romania would have been able to surrender boldly and with confidence, or at most cede land.

But now? Bulgaria has found an excuse and clearly declared that it wants to annex the Balkans, and there is only one way to go to the end in front of them!

The Romanian Minister of War was embarrassed and proposed: "Your Majesty, now that the Bulgarians and Russians have launched an attack on us at the same time, I am afraid that we will not be able to hold Bucharest with our military strength, so it is better to move the capital ~~~"

"No! The impact of abandoning Bucharest is simply too great, and it will be a devastating blow to the morale of our people! The Prime Minister interrupted

Militarily speaking, Bucharest was not suitable for defense, not even the Wallachian plains, and retreating to the mountainous terrain in the west was the best option.

But politically, Bucharest had to defend again!

……

While Romania was struggling with whether to defend Bucharest, Ferdinand made a decision for them, and the Bulgarian army had gone on a rampage.

Due to the defeat of the Second Balkan War, Romania is now in an extremely disadvantageous position, and the Wallachian Plain is a flat country with no danger to defend.

In addition, the main forces of the Bulgarian Air Force are now hovering over Bucharest, but they have not dropped bombs yet, and now they are throwing leaflets.

Ferdinand was still very disciplined in this regard, if it was an attack on a military facility, it could be bombed at will, but when attacking an ordinary city, it was still necessary to do as much as possible.

For example, leaflets are being distributed now telling ordinary people to evacuate Bucharest within 24 hours, and that the bombing is coming.

Theoretically, just the evacuation of personnel, one day is enough, if you want to transfer wealth, it is impossible.

The performance of the Romanian government did not disappoint Ferdinand, and the defenders immediately collected the leaflets and took the black pot perfectly.

There is no doubt that the Propaganda Department will definitely say that it was the Romanian government that prevented the people from evacuating, so it caused the miscalculation of the Air Force, which caused so many civilian casualties!

Evidence will also be presented to prove that the families of the top echelons of the Romanian government have run away, the capitalists have also run away, and ordinary people have been used as meat shields by the Romanian government to cover their transfer of property.

It doesn't matter if it's true or not, as long as someone believes it, the Romanians' will to resist will weaken a lot later.

……

Just as Ferdinand launched his northern expedition to Romania, he was stunned by a piece of news. "The French said that they could not withstand the offensive of Germany and Italy, they retreated from the front line, and also asked for help from Britain, Bulgaria and Russia!"

And this kind of operation? Ferdinand was stunned for the first time! Obviously, the French could not have been so vulnerable, and with their strength how could they have been defeated so quickly?

But they were really retreating, and it was an orderly retreat, and the Germans who wanted to take advantage of the fire did not take much advantage.

"Verdun meat grinder"!

Ferdinand immediately thought of the famous battle that took place on the Western Front in parallel time and space.

"Take out the map of France, and look at the retreat route of the French, is it to the Verdun area?" Ferdinand asked eagerly

If so, then there is nothing to worry about, it is nothing more than to make this meat grinder battle a little more advanced. Anyway, as long as the most brutal war on the Western Front is fought, Germany and France will be ready to lose both!

War Minister Popov said suspiciously: "Your Majesty, that's right! Judging by the retreat route of the French army, they were indeed retreating towards the Verdun area.

But the performance of the French is very abnormal, with their strength, they will not give up the current defense line so soon?

According to our judgment, the current military strength of the French is such that the Germans will not be able to break through their lines for at least half a year!

But what the French are doing now is very puzzling, they actually lost the line of defense directly? ”

Ferdinand seemed to understand that the French were living on the death of the French. Now the Entente had to support the French, otherwise once the Verdun line was broken by the Germans, Paris would be finished.

Will the French be able to continue the war after losing Paris? No one can answer this question, and no one dares to bet on it anyway!

"Quite simply, just think of the horrific consequences of the defeat of the French and know what the French want to do?" Ferdinand said calmly

It is conceivable that in order to relieve the military pressure of the French, the British will inevitably send an expeditionary force, and it will certainly not be possible to rely entirely on the colonial forces to make up the numbers.

As long as the Russians do not want to go head-to-head with the Germans, they will also attack the Germans and pin down their forces on the Eastern Front.

Even Bulgaria had to make some moves in Italy to contain the Italians' forces.

The adventurous move of the French successfully dragged the countries into the water together, and it was not necessary to dream about sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. I don't know if this counts as a new round of pit teammates?

"Your Majesty, then what shall we do? Did it just follow the wishes of the French? Popov said angrily

Ferdinand smiled and said, "This question shouldn't seem to give us a headache!"

Anyway, the French are just asking us to contain the Italians, so it's a big deal!

Let the air force drop some leaflets on the Italians and tell the Italians that we will bomb their city ports from time to time and let them organize the evacuation of the population.

Later, the navy will use the Italian port as our target training ground, and the air force will bomb it from time to time, so we can probably explain the past! ”
