"Your Majesty, General Salamik has captured Budapest."
An attendant ran into the room with a telegram and loudly announced the good news.
"I understand, little Monar, please go down."
Edel looked at the impulsive attendant and borrowed the telegram he handed over with a wave of his hand.
When the attendant heard what the king said, he saw the queen sitting next to him and retreated in embarrassment.
Sophie Marie glanced at it, and the rash attendant asked: "Is this the youngest son of the Monard family?"
Edel complained to his wife with a headache: "That's right, this kid who always gets into trouble was forced into being my attendant by his father, causing trouble to me."
The helpless expression on Edel's face caused the queen to cover her mouth and laugh foolishly: "I heard that he became very famous in Bucharest last year, and many people looked at him with admiration."
"I've heard about this too."
Edel also knows what his wife said. This is that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. This guy did something shocking last year. He openly wanted to marry a fallen girl into the house, even if he was locked up in the house.
You must marry this true love.
This stubborn boy made his father, Count Monard, angry. In the end, seeing the incident getting bigger and bigger, the fallen girl saw that the situation was not right and finally let go and ended the farce. However, after this incident
Afterwards, feeling that his son was worried, Count Monard came to Edel and asked to let his incompetent son practice with him. Edel took into account the respect that the Monard family has always had for the royal family, and agreed.
This is what happened.
Edel took a look at the telegram and put it on the table. Queen Mary, who had been married for many years, felt that her husband was not in a high mood and tried to ask: "Edel, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"
Facing his wife, Edel said without any concealment: "How can you make me happy to capture this city at the cost of more than 50,000 casualties? Salamik's actions have disappointed me so much."
In fact, Edel knew that Salamik had done a very good job and had achieved great results by annihilating more than 200,000 enemies. However, the number of casualties approaching 60,000 also made him feel bleeding inside. This was not a force that was mobilizing signs, either.
The elite standing army that has been trained for many years has been disabled this time. Edel did not send a reprimanding telegram to Salamik because of his many years of service to the kingdom. Does he still want to reward him?
his behavior.
Not to mention Eder's resentment towards General Salamik, after occupying Budapest, the Romanian army immediately surrounded several factories that had already been delineated and placed martial law. The Budapest steel plant, arsenal, chemical plant, etc., these are very famous.
Factories are being delineated.
After Romania sends experts to evaluate these factory facilities, equipment deemed suitable for Romania will be shipped back to the country. This is also to supplement a small part of the cost of this military dispatch.
Just when Romania was busy doing its own thing, an unexpected thing happened.
In a newly-launched surveillance base on the outskirts of Budapest, a Romanian officer sat down for a rare break. He was exhausted these days, marching and fighting, and finally captured the enemy's capital Budapest, but he was also captured.
Arrangements for leading the troops on the front line to set up defense strongholds. After arranging all these things one by one, you can finally relax, smoke a cigarette and rest for a while. At this time, the King of Heaven is coming, so don't even think about disturbing yourself.
The Romanian officer, who was puffing away the smoke, was thinking in his heart, but as if God didn't want to do what he wanted, a voice brought him back to reality.
"Company Commander, please come out for a moment. There's something going on."
Disturbed by the sound of something happening, the company commander immediately put out the cigarette in his hand and ran out.
"What's going on? Is it because of the People's Army?"
The company commander had a profound impression of the People's Army soldiers he had fought with. Although those people were not strong in combat ability, they had high morale and could charge under machine gun fire without any regard for their own lives. Such people were not willing to risk their lives.
His fighting style caused his company to suffer a lot of losses, and now he still has lingering fears.
When questioned by the company commander, the soldier was reported to have said: "It's not the People's Army, but an army flying another flag."
"Let me see what kind of army this is."
The company commander standing high up raised the telescope in his hand and looked at it. Judging from the flag flying, it was a red, white and green tricolor flag, not the red, sickle and hammer flag of the People's Army.
"Go and ask someone personally what they do."
Looking at the armed team of nearly a thousand people, the company commander was not afraid to issue orders to his sentries. He believed that such a team approaching him openly would not be very hostile. And the source of his confidence was
There are more than 100,000 Romanian troops in Budapest.
After receiving the order from his company commander, a sentry quickly ran towards the team.
"Stop, what do you do?"
Facing the sentry's arrogant inquiry, the team stopped. At this time, two officers walked out from among them. One of them, a bearded officer with the rank of major, first told the officer next to him that the sentry could not listen.
He understood Hungarian. Then the officer, who was obviously a translator, told the sentry: "We are the fourth regiment of the fifth division of the Hungarian Republican Army. This is our deputy commander, Major Knowles. This time, I would like to thank you for bringing our people from
After being rescued from the evil rule of the People's Army, we now plan to go to the capital Budapest."
After hearing what the officer said, the sentry said: "Wait here, I need to report to our superiors."
After finishing speaking, he immediately ran back and informed the company commander.
"The Republican Army team wants to go to Budapest?"
Listening to the sentry, the company commander knew that this matter had to be reported, but he would not let this person come to the Republican Army out of nowhere. "Let them wait two kilometers away from the station. No
The order is to open fire if anyone dares to get close. Why didn’t you see the chaotic Republican Army when they attacked the People’s Army? They just came out to pick peaches.”
It seems that the company commander does not like to see this armed force.
The arrival of the sentry caused some commotion among the Hungarian Republican Army. Their major deputy commander looked at the sentry in front of him with an angry face, but the Romanian soldiers who were not afraid pushed back. In the end, the deputy commander
The leader felt that his arm could not twist his thigh, so he had no choice but to accept it.
This situation was immediately reported by the company commander, which made General Salamik, who had just captured Budapest to relieve his embarrassment, a little angry. Of course, the general knew that this Republican Army had retreated to the southern city of the Hungarian Republic.
The government's armed forces. However, there is currently no clear attitude in Romania regarding this government. Everything has to wait for the decision of the Allied Powers.
In this intervention, Romania mainly sent troops, and the intervention was basically supported by Romania. However, Romania has no right at all regarding the choice of the future Hungarian government.
Moreover, the purpose of sending troops this time is very clear, which is to ensure that the territory east of the Tisza River belongs to Romania. Therefore, Romania has no interest at all in the Hungarian Republican Government.
"Drive them away."
Admiral Salamik finally decided to drive away these bargain hunters first, and said that as for what to do in the future, he would have to wait for instructions from the country.
After the general's order was issued, a regiment of Romanian troops was dispatched to drive out the Republican Army that came to take over Budapest. Facing the expulsion of the Romanian army, these Republican Army armed forces could only leave in despair.
Coincidentally, in addition to Budapest, in many cities on the east bank of the Danube currently occupied by Romania, Republican armed forces emerged. These people were driven away by the local Romanian garrison. This situation attracted the attention of Romania.
After some investigation, the driving force behind this incident came to light. Admiral Horthy, who was the commander of the Hungarian Republican Army, was doing these little tricks.
