Holding the telegram in his hand from Bulgarian Foreign Minister Dirasloch, Edel said to Foreign Minister Barnosk, "These Bulgarians have done a great job."
Foreign Minister Barnosk carefully asked the Crown Prince for his opinion. "Your Highness, do you think we should respond to Bulgaria's request."
Seeing Foreign Minister Barnoske's cautious expression, Edel ignored him and said directly. "Promise them and tell them that we will send this batch of arms within ten days."
After hearing the Crown Prince's answer, Foreign Minister Barnosk went out and sent a telegram to Bulgaria, intending to inform Bulgaria of the Crown Prince's intention. It is estimated that Bulgarian Foreign Minister Dirasloch was also waiting impatiently.
After seeing Foreign Minister Barnosk walking out, Edel called a guard and said to him, "Call General Preshan over."
"Okay, Your Highness."
After the guard answered, he walked out of the palace to find General Pu Lieshan.
About half an hour later, Chief of General Staff Plesan strode up to Eder and said to the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, you are looking for me."
Edel asked the chief of general staff in front of him. "How are you doing what I asked you to do?"
General Pu Lieshan knew what the crown prince asked about, and immediately told the result that the crown prince wanted to know. "I have already asked the staff to do it."
"tell me the story."
General Plesan took a map and told the Crown Prince about the prepared plan. "Your Highness, according to the plan of our General Staff, we will concentrate the 12 infantry divisions and one cavalry division of our Romanian army, plus 3
150 heavy artillery regiments and a 210 heavy artillery regiment. These are all the forces we have to attack Bulgaria after declaring war on it. At home, we leave the 1st Guards Division to defend the capital Bucharest, and on the border we mobilize militiamen to form 6 temporary divisions to defend Austria-Hungary.
and the border with Russia.”
After talking about domestic preparations, Pulieshan continued to talk about the army's attack plan. "I plan to form the 3rd, 2nd, and 10th Cavalry Divisions into the First Army as the arrows of our army. The 7th, 5th, and
The 10th and 2nd Guards Division formed the Second Army, serving as the right wing of the First Army. The 1st, 4th, 8th, and 14th Divisions formed the Third Army, serving as the left wing of the First Army. The 17th Division served as a reserve to guard transportation.
Line. Among them, the first task of the first army is to capture Targovi, the first task of the second army is to capture Polski, and the third army's task is to capture Varna. After each completed their respective goals, the three armies captured Telgovi together.
Novo. It is expected that we will encounter the main force of the Bulgarian army near Tarnovo. By then our 12 divisions will defeat them in one fell swoop and establish the victory of this war."
After saying this, General Pulelshan added, "We assigned the three 150 heavy artillery regiments to the three armies respectively, and the 210 heavy artillery regiment followed our command. This time we requisitioned nearly half a month's troops from Volkswagen.
The production of 1,100 Dongfeng trucks, plus the nearly 2,000 trucks owned by our Romanian army, is enough to ensure our logistics supply this time. Moreover, we will also bring 24 aircraft from the flight team to ensure that we detect the arrival of the Bulgarian army in time.
"
After listening to General Plesan's report, Edel was quite satisfied with the army's actions, so he continued to ask, "Is there any plan for the navy?"
"some."
Faced with the Crown Prince's question, Plesan continued to talk about the naval plan given to him by Navy Minister Lomodan. "In terms of the navy, after the Third Army begins operations, the cruiser Count Dazila will be used as the flagship.
Leading the cruiser Elizabeth, plus four Bogdan-class gunboats, and six Basno-class torpedo boats, we will cooperate with the third army to capture Varna, and then the navy will send a fleet to blockade the remaining Bulgarian port of Burgas."
Hearing that the Preshan Army presented the Romanian army's entire combat plan, Eder said with satisfaction. "Well done. Romania did not get any benefits from this Balkan war. This is incredible. Now Bulgaria and
There is a dispute between Serbia and Greece, and this is our opportunity."
Chief of General Staff Preshan asked a little puzzled. "But Your Highness, why do we still need to assist Bulgaria with so many arms?"
Eder smiled and said, "If both Serbia and Greece can defeat Bulgaria, then how can we in Romania raise conditions?"
General Preshan, who understood the crown prince's thoughts, suddenly realized. Edel looked at his chief of general staff and continued. "And our Romanian army has been reorganized for so many years, so we should pull it out and take a look. Bulgaria is called the Prussia of the Balkans. This is an absolute advantage."
Good target, General Preshan, you don’t think our standing army can’t defeat those tired Bulgarian troops, do you?”
After hearing the Crown Prince's question, Chief of General Staff Presan said confidently. "Of course not, Your Highness. In this war, we will let the world see the style of the Romanian army. I am not boasting. We can do an army like Bulgaria's."
It’s no problem to do 1 versus 2.”
In terms of equipment, training and morale, Romania is much better than Bulgaria. According to the observation report given by the commander of the 12th Division, Fereit, Preshan has seen Bulgaria's combat effectiveness, and Bulgaria's style of play will not work when encountered.
In a situation like Romania, which is equipped with a large number of machine guns, Preshan knew exactly what would happen during the exercise.
After seeing off General Preesan, Edel looked at the map he had used before and drew from the town of Svishtov on the Danube River along the town of Preslav to the Black Sea, connecting Dobri in Bulgaria.
The four cities of Qi, Ruse, Suman and Varna and a territory of approximately 22,000 square kilometers were set aside.
Edel looked at the marked out Bulgarian territory and said to himself, "This will be the condition for me to join you."
Edel had long planned to seek benefits for Romania in the Balkan War, but the Ottoman Empire did not border Romania, so he had no choice. However, the split of the Balkan Alliance allowed him to see an opportunity. Why should he join the Sethi Alliance?
Of course, territory is one aspect, but more importantly, World War I is about to come. Edel is eager to let the European powers see the powerful combat effectiveness of the Romanian army. In the war, there is a powerful army, whether it is neutral or joins the war, it can make
Others came up with a good offer to win over. Bulgaria fully meets Edel's two conditions, and Bulgaria has not yet allocated 4,000 square kilometers of territory to Romania. This will be the best excuse to start a war.
Now he only needs to wait for Serbia and Greece to extend a hand of friendship before talking to them about his demands. As for the possibility that the two countries will not come, Edel does not need to worry at all. As long as the largest Balkan power does not join the alliance, Serbia will
It is the two countries that have a problem with their brains.
