Don't look at Mihai I's youth, but he really can't be said to be a little kid, growing up in his strange family environment, even a pig will have a few more eyes. Although the current Romania is headed by Antonescu, Mihai I is not a complete puppet, he still has a certain influence on the political arena and the army, at least no matter which side wants to seize power in Romania openly, it is inseparable from him, the king.

Ever since the Soviet Red Army invaded Romania, Mihai I's aides had been whispering in his ears that the time had come for the little king to decide on the future of Romania, and that in view of the current complicated situation, they hoped that the little king would make a careful choice, preferably to sell at a price to maximize his profits.

In fact, Mihai I also knew that selling at a price could maximize the profits, but if you want to say that he made up his mind to turn against Hitler at this time, it is impossible. The reason is simple: Germany has a considerable number of armed forces in Romania, and there are German troops in Bucharest to assist Antonescu in controlling the situation.

Moreover, the army that Mihai I himself could control was quite limited, and it may be limited to mobilizing the royal palace guards, which had no capital to turn around. In any case, although Mihai I and his staff did not want to admit it, they had to admit that if they did not cooperate with other political forces in Romania, no one could be bluffed by his name as king alone.

So at this time, what is the division of power in Romania? Needless to say, Antonescu is in charge of everything. But with the Red Army gaining momentum, his authority has been shaken. Especially after the fall of Constanta and Buzeu. This one is already crumbling.

The political forces that had previously been united with Antonescu had now realized that a catastrophe was imminent. On the one hand, he was at odds with the Germans, and on the other hand, he was actively liaising with the Allies. Even Antonescu himself made two plans, on the one hand, he personally went to the wolf's den to hug Hitler's thigh, and on the other hand, he secretly got in touch with Britain and the United States to discuss the possibility and conditions of Romania's armistice and withdrawal from the war.

From this point, it can also be seen that the integrity of politicians is really worse than a rag, and Antonescu actually has the idea of selling at a price. It's just a pity that he is not worth much. As the main culprit of Romania's boarding of the fascist chariot, after the victory in the war, it is necessary to explain it with his head, and it is more interesting that Antonescu actively contacted Britain and the United States at this time, and did not directly contact the Soviet Union, which has to be said to be a big failure.

Why? Because the only country that can decide Antonescu's fate in the future is the Soviet Union, it can be said that the Soviet Union will let him live, he will be able to live, and if he is allowed to die, he will never have a way to live. At this moment. Antonescu first contacted Britain and the United States, and his small calculations were obvious. He wanted to take advantage of the contradictions between Britain and the United States and the Soviet Union to preserve his power and position in Romania.

He thought that kneeling and licking Britain and the United States would scare off the Soviet Union, but Antonescu did not think or did not want to believe that the current power of the Soviet Union could completely determine the order of Eastern and Central Europe. He thought that he could survive in the cracks, but he did not expect that such an act could only provoke the Soviet Union and let the Soviet Union completely eliminate him. After all, whether it is the iron comrades of history or the Trotsky, Sverdlov and Li Xiaofeng today, they all think that Romania is their own land.

On the side of the couch, it is impossible to allow others to snore and sleep, especially Nima snores and sleeps with a very disobedient and uncooperative Antonescu, so it is inevitable to kill him.

So in this secret game, Antonescu was the first to go out, and this naïve guy miscalculated and killed himself. In addition to Antonescu, in addition to the Romanian royal family and the Romanian Communist Party mentioned above, there are also Romanian societies that may appear on stage in this drama. Congregation. The main party is up. At that time, it was also quite influential, but one thing they were worse than the Romanian Communist Party was that they did not have a powerful godfather like the Soviet Union, and it was almost impossible for them to unilaterally change the status quo without direct external support.

In this way, it is obvious that the situation is obvious, whether it is the Romanian royal family or the Romanian society. Congregation. It is impossible for the main party to unilaterally overthrow Antonescu's rule, and it can even be said that without the support of the Soviet Red Army, any change in their movement is a search for death!

Why? The reason is simple, because there is always no shortage of fools in this world who cannot see the situation clearly. For example, the Romanian royal family, for example, the British. Mihai I soon met with Liervin, and it should be said that the two sides were like-minded and hit it off.

The British wanted to install a pro-Romanian government, and Mihai I wanted to use British influence to strengthen himself and preserve his special position in Romania, and if possible, he even hoped to become a true king by using British influence. Truth be told, Mihai I has had enough of being a puppet all these years, he has had enough of this life at the mercy of others. How he wants to be his own master again!

Of course, we know that such an idea is extremely naïve, and it should be said that this Mihai I is not much better than Antonescu, and he is not fully aware of who will be the master of Central and Eastern Europe in the future.

The smooth communication made Li Erwen a little proud, she thought that she was ahead of a certain immortal again, if she could facilitate this cooperation, then the empire would maintain an important fulcrum in Eastern Europe, and this fulcrum would be able to penetrate directly into the hinterland of Ukraine and the Soviet Union, which would be a big victory.

In the evening of the same day, Liervan called Churchill optimistically, claiming that the communication was smooth and that she would create a new pro-British Romanian regime as soon as possible. However, when he received this telegram, Churchill was not as optimistic as Learvin, after all, the old smoker was an old fritter in the political arena, and he was much more experienced than Learvin, and he could see at a glance that the British Empire lacked the most important thing at this time - the military power that could directly act on Romania.

At this time, the old smoker was more anxious, because he knew that all the results at the negotiation table needed strength to support, and the British Empire did not have a single soldier to send to Romania to intervene at this time. And that would be very dangerous.

Simply by the Romanian royal family and the Society. Congregation. The little influence of the main party and the spontaneous actions of some patriotic soldiers. It was not enough to overthrow Antonescu's rule. At that moment, Churchill had a myriad of ideas in mind. Specifically, they are:

The most direct way is to send paratroopers to be airdropped directly to Romania, preferably in Bucharest, in cooperation with the Romanian royal family and society. Congregation. The main party takes care of everything.

The second option is to find a way to persuade Turkey to join the ranks of the allies, and if Turkey joins the allies, then everything will be easy, and the Turkish British Empire and the United States will directly insert themselves into the Black Sea coast, which will directly affect the choice of Yugoslavia, Romania and Bulgaria, and will seize Eastern Europe before the Soviet Union after the war.

The last option is to make a decision. That would be an amphibious landing in the Mediterranean, landing in Greece and then advancing all the way to Eastern and Central Europe.

Let's analyze these three methods, the first of which is what the British can do, although it is very reluctant and dangerous, but if he is not allowed to do so, he can indeed throw the paratroopers to Romania. But the question is, will this be successful?

It was a long voyage, from the air base in Cyprus to Romania, and it was almost the limit of the range, and the Italian Air Force and the Luftwaffe were indispensable for interception along the way. The risk is too great. More critically, the British had limited capabilities in their transport fleet. At most, to put an airborne brigade or the strength of an airborne division to Romania, how useful can this little force be?

You must know that at this time in Romania there were still more than 100,000 German troops, nearly 600,000 Romanian troops, and the Soviet Red Army was also as high as four armies (500,000 people).

Therefore, although the first option can be done by the United Kingdom, Churchill knows that it is of little significance, and this is a drop in the bucket and will not be of great use. Then with option two, if Turkey can be pulled over, it will be equivalent to gaining leverage to pry Eastern and Central Europe, and Turkey can directly strike at the German and Italian armies in Bulgaria, Yugoslavia and Greece. And with Turkey as a base, the British and American coalition forces can directly take a ship to Turkey to participate in the war, how easy and comfortable is this?

The problem is that Turkey is not an idiot either, and without mentioning its historical pro-German stance, it is enough to say that the last world war also beat the Turks smartly. The glory of Ottoman Turkey has long been a thing of the past, and today's Turkey is really only a second-rate country, and it does not have the strength to participate in the battle for hegemony of the world's big hooligans.

Therefore, the "smart" Turks are neutral at this time, and it is okay to help play the side ball, but it is not necessary to talk about it in person. Churchill knew very well that if he wanted Turkey to join the alliance, he would probably have to pay a lot of money, and the current British Empire could not give so much, and was not willing to give it. So option 2 is also useless.

It is not impossible for the third option to land in Greece, and the British and American allies discussed this issue in that year, but compared with Greece and Italy, the attraction is still too small, and with the amphibious landing capacity and strength of the British and American countries back then, they can only choose one of the two. And it is clear that it would be wiser to strike Italy directly to force Italy out of the battlefield.

Therefore, after pondering for a while, Churchill already understood in his heart that the possibility of success in Romania was not great, and it was probably just to create a little trouble for the Soviet Union, and in the face of the absolute disparity in strength, there was not much room for clever means to be used.

However, he knew in his heart that he would give up without waiting for Churchill, and as long as there was a one percent chance for him, he would have to try, and for the sake of the British Empire, he would have to do whatever it takes.

Learwin soon received a telegram from Churchill agreeing, and the female spy was gearing up to do a big job, and her actions soon attracted the attention of the Luo Communist Party, of course, the Luo Communist Party couldn't pay attention to it, who let Li Erwin take their boss and the important part of the armed uprising. The ministry is in prison.

Trotsky was therefore soon informed of the new changes in Romania, and he was also troubled by the cries of the Romanian Communist Party. Trotsky was willing to maintain the unity of the anti-fascist alliance, but the sudden demolition of the British kept him in power. It is very difficult to govern the situation, and a group of politicians headed by Li Xiaofeng. Members of the Governance Bureau and the Central. The Central Committee members severely criticized him, accusing him of lacking in defending the world's proletariat. and the boldness of the national interests of the USSR.

"What do they want me to do? Withdrawing from the alliance just because of this little thing without any evidence to back it up? Isn't that nonsense! ”

In private, Trotsky was furious, but he could not fight back openly. Because it doesn't mean anything other than exacerbating the contradictions. Moreover, it is not without any evidence. At least in recent days, the Romanian Communist Party has been continuously sending electricity to Moscow: calling the Romanian royal family and some of its officers behaving sneakily seems to be a conspiracy. The Communist Party also reacted, the Society. Congregation. Some of the Lord's friends also revealed to them that the British were unusually active.

This series of actions was not necessarily groundless, even if it was chasing after the wind, at least Trotsky, who was very politically sensitive, could instantly guess what the British were calculating. He is also angry about the inauthenticity of the British: "Imperialism really says one thing and does another, and on the surface it is friendly, but in fact it is digging into the wall, which is extremely despicable!" ”

But Trotsky could not come up with many targeted ways to preserve the unity of the Union and the interests of the Soviet Union for this small set of British actions. This leaves him with too little room to manoeuvre.

In the end, it was Ulitsky who suggested: "I think it is enough, you can convey our internal opposition to Churchill, and I believe he should understand what you mean!" ”

Trotsky smiled bitterly, for for now he could only use the power of the fox and the tiger to exert pressure on Churchill by taking advantage of Li Xiaofeng's commotion. If Churchill pretended not to see it and did not stop at all, then he would not mind pushing the boat down the river and letting some immortal make a fuss, which would be regarded as a lesson to the British.

And what about Churchill's attitude? In fact, there is no need to think about it, the old smoker naturally pretended not to see Trotsky's hints, and for him not to make a fuss in Romania would be tantamount to surrendering Romania to the Soviet Union, and making a fuss would disgust and delay the Soviet Union. So why not make a fuss? Moreover, he also perceived from Trotsky's hints that the attitude of the Soviet Union was not so confident in fact, if it persisted. Maybe you can bluff the Russians?

Of course, Churchill must have misjudged the situation, and the Soviet Union's attitude was more ambiguous only for the Trotskyists, and the old Trotskyists had no choice. Li Xiaofeng's side is different, he will never be polite to the British, since the British don't know how to move his cheese alive and dead, then he doesn't mind teaching the British how to behave.

Just when Li Erwen was actively contingencing, Li Xiaofeng made a move, and with the cooperation of the KGB Romanian Bureau, the Vympel special forces directly went to prison and took the Romanian Communist Party to Georgi. The prison faction led by Georgiou Dezhi was all released.

At first, Li Erwen didn't think so, thinking that a certain immortal had no choice, and he didn't look down on the influence of the Luo Republic and the prison faction at all. But soon Lierwin couldn't laugh anymore, in Georgi. After Georgiou-Dezhi was released from prison, the Luo Communist Party quickly contacted the Society. Congregation. The main party, almost effortlessly, brought the two parties to an agreement - the two parties soon formed the Romanian Workers' United Front. And immediately after that, the country, the peasants, the party and the state. The party also joined this united front and formed the national people. The main alliance.

This series of changes is so rapid that Learwin is dizzying at all, and she hasn't figured out what the situation is? Romania's main opposition parties were allied, while the Romanian royal family, which had largely agreed with the British, was excluded from the alliance. Romanian Communal. The party did not have a bird at all, Mihai I, and directly treated this king as air.

Now Li Erwen was confused, and he didn't understand why Luo Gong had such confidence, didn't this kind of action need royal endorsement?

Li Xiaofeng scoffed at this: "It's natural to have a humanoid stamp, but if the humanoid stamp doesn't cooperate, it's not enough, so it's better to change it!" ”

There is only one reason why Li Xiaofeng was able to achieve his goal and subvert all the previous efforts of the British in an instant: it was Konev, Vasilevsky, and Tolbukhin who gave their strength, and when the heavy group of the Red Army drove to the vicinity of Bucharest and crushed it with a thunderous force, everyone knew who to work with.

Yes, the British shot early, but Romania did not even have a single British army, not even a single British fighter plane, so how could Romanian politicians believe the promises of the British? No matter how fanciful your promises are, they can't match the spears and cannons of the Russians.

Now it was the turn of the British to get angry, and Churchill instructed the Foreign Office to send a note to the Soviet Union, protesting that the Soviet Union had sabotaged Britain's efforts to subvert the fascist regime in Romania, and demanding that the Soviet Union deal with the Romanian question with an open attitude.

Obviously, the British meant, "How can you not play with me?" I'm going to play Romanian games together! ”

It is a pity that this note is meaningless, Trotsky thinks that he has given face to Churchill last time, and has tactfully reminded him that it was you British who were the first to cut in line unruly. In that case, then there is no need for us in the Soviet Union to follow the rules, Nima will not take you to play, how about it!

To this, the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs of the USSR replied: "Strongly condemning the secret peace between the British Government and the Romanian fascist regime behind the back of its allies, which is a grave violation of the Joint Declaration, and the Soviet Government demands that the British Government immediately correct this mistake and immediately cease its erroneous actions." ”

At the same time, the Soviet government also announced: "The Soviet government is committed to the work of the Romanian people." The main alliance to overthrow the Romanian fascist regime and thus help the Romanian people win the anti-fascist war is the trend of the times and the expectation of all! (To be continued.) )
