When Bretianu sent a telegram back to Romania to negotiate the conditions for intervention in Hungary, Eder was discussing the war against Hungary with General Plezan.
The previously negotiated disarmament plan can only be put on hold now. And Pleshan has no objection to this, so the Hungarians suddenly can't think about it.
"How do you want to fight this time?"
When Edel asked, Plesan pointed to the map and said: "Your Majesty, in this battle we plan to divide our forces to attack together and force the enemy to leave the city for a decisive battle."
The General then explained: "The General Staff has studied the organizational methods of the Soviet Union and the Hungarian Communist Party during this period and found that there is no difference between the two. The Soviet Union's mobilization ability was very good during the Russian Civil War. Therefore, in order to combat its mobilization
ability, priority is given to seizing the surrounding cities, and isolating the connection between the regime and the people becomes the focus.”
Edel listened to the words of General Pulishan and said with great interest: "Is there anything else?"
"There are some other considerations."
"Tell me about it."
Pleshan continued: "In addition to using more troops, this method of combat is more stable. Moreover, in this battle, our two allies dispatched too few troops, mainly relying on ourselves. So reducing risks is also one of them.
One of the considerations.”
Hearing Pleshan talk about the two allies euphemistically, Edel knew that this was quite polite. In fact, these two allies could be described as soy sauce. The Romanian military had already contacted them for this intervention.
Both countries agreed to the intervention. However, when they discussed the specific number of troops to send, they both complained about it.
Serbia said that it needed to calm people's hearts, maintain local stability, and keep an eye on Austria. Therefore, it could only send 20,000 troops. The Czech Republic also sent 10,000 troops on the grounds that it was independent and did not have much troops, and it also needed to be wary of the behemoth Germany around it.
.
They have sent a total of 30,000 troops. Is this an intention to intervene in Hungary or to strengthen border patrols?
You must know that the Hungarian government currently under the Communist Party has already mobilized 130,000 troops through agitation. The General Staff has done research and found that if they launch a general mobilization, they can still recruit between 300,000 and 500,000 troops.
Therefore, in order to minimize its mobilization ability, the General Staff Headquarters will mobilize 180,000 troops this time, divide them into three groups to occupy various places first, and then gather near Budapest for the decisive battle.
Considering that the Hungarian Communist Party uses the same policy as the Soviet Union, the quality and ability of its senior military officers are relatively low, and the lower-level soldiers and officers should have high morale. It is very likely that they will only use simpler tactics, so the Romanian army
The primary artillery and machine gun configuration will be very high. Give these Hungarians Metal Storm to cool down their minds and dispel the fanaticism in their minds.
"Your Majesty, this time we are mainly mobilizing the divisions before the 25th, plus a few divisions in their early forties that have performed well. Coupled with enough technical weapons, this is definitely not something that these Hungarians can resist. And we also have
Five divisions of troops have been prepared in Bekeschouba and Stara Bari east of the Tisza River, ready to respond to emergencies at any time."
General Pulishan told Eder in detail the plan of the General Staff.
Edel nodded repeatedly as he listened. It seemed that the General Staff had done a good job and had taken all aspects into consideration.
He had nothing else to ask about the strength of the troops, so Edel asked another question. "So who are you going to let lead the team this time?"
"We're going to let..."
"Ta, ta, ta."
A knock on the door interrupted Pleshan's conversation. Edel and the chief of general staff looked at each other, and both saw doubts in each other's eyes.
Finally, His Excellency the Admiral said: "Maybe there is something important."
"Come in."
As Edel shouted loudly, a red-faced guard walked in with a telegram.
Without waiting for Edel to ask, he told the reason for knocking on the door: "This is an urgent message from the Prime Minister from Paris. I felt a little urgent, so I knocked on the door."
Edel took the telegram, waved his hand and said to him: "It's okay, there's no need to be so formal. Okay, I've received the telegram, you can go out first."
After sending the guards away, Edel tore open the seal and quickly browsed through the lines.
This telegram is the result of the negotiations between the Prime Minister and the Allied Powers. In addition, the telegram also explains the changes in the attitude of the Allied Powers during the negotiations, and the Prime Minister also explained. In a word, the United States, Britain and France are currently facing any possible changes in the Balkans and Central Europe towards Romania.
We are extremely vigilant in our pursuit of interests.
It seems that if Romania wants to break through that boundary and become a great country, it still has a long way to go.
"The Prime Minister has reached an agreement with the Allies, and this is the result."
After reading the telegram, Edel looked at Pleshan with a curious expression on his face and handed him the telegram in his hand.
"Great, let me see how the Prime Minister talks."
As Puliesan said, he took the telegram and looked at it. As time went by, the expression on Puliesan's face became ugly. Finally, he slapped the telegram on the table and said angrily:
"This is simply too much bullying. They don't want us to live a good life."
Seeing Pulje's anger, Eder persuaded instead: "Okay, Plje. The results of this negotiation are pretty good. At least we east of the Tisza River are safe, and the Galicia region is safe."
It also cuts off Poland’s attempts to influence us.”
Edel's words moved Plesan's heart, and he couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, you mean..."
Thinking that he wouldn't be able to hide this for too long, Edel also opened up: "Yes, you are right. I do intend to annex Galicia to Romania. And currently we still occupy Ode
I also have the same idea about the Slovakia and Vinnitsa regions."
Hearing Edel open his heart and tell his plan, Plesan was a little surprised and said: "If those Ukrainians find out about this, I'm afraid they will fight against us."
"Are you afraid?"
How could Pleshan be cowarded at this time? "Of course I'm not afraid. These Ukrainians have taught them a lesson once. If we come back again, we can fight as far as Kiev. The main reason is that we are worried that these Ukrainians will not fight us and instigate the local people to be soft on us."
Confrontation, that takes a lot of energy.”
Regarding Pleshan's concerns, Eder smiled and said: "They have no chance. Denikin has already led the Russian army towards Moscow. No matter whether Soviet Russia or Denikin wins, they will take advantage of Ukraine."
.They are the biggest enemies of Ukraine. As long as we don’t act arbitrarily, these Ukrainians will not cause trouble for themselves.”
After Edel briefly explained the situation in Ukraine and Russia, he continued: "So we need to use this window period to complete Hungary's affairs. Otherwise, in the turbulent situation in Ukraine, if we do not have enough strength,
No one cares about what we say."
After understanding the king's plan, Pleshan said excitedly: "Okay, Your Majesty, I will speed up the mobilization of troops so that we will not miss the chaos in Ukraine."
"Don't leave supplies and departments incompletely prepared just because you are in a hurry. This will not be good."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I've been in the military for many years and I won't make such low-level mistakes."
It seems that for anyone, expanding one's territory is an irresistible temptation.
The Chief of General Staff did as he said. After returning to the General Staff Headquarters, he immediately asked the transferred troops to speed up. He also asked General Salamik, who was on the front line in Hungary, to prepare supplies as a priority. He only waited for the troops to assemble.
Launch military operations.
The news of Romania's large-scale deployment of troops could not be concealed from anyone. After the Hungarian Soviet government learned of the news, it immediately thought of a solution.
