After receiving Eder's reply, the German ambassador quickly sent the Romanian decision back to Berlin in an encrypted message.
After receiving the news that Romania was willing to act together with the Allies in this crisis, Kaiser Wilhelm II was very happy to tell his Chief of General Staff Moltke. "I knew that the Hohenzollern family was united. This time
Romania did not disappoint us."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will ask the staff to prepare a plan for the Eastern Front after Romania joins the alliance, so that we can avoid our lack of preparation." Little Moltke was also very happy to be able to pull Romania onto the tank.
After all, Romania has a very good army, has the food and oil that Germany needs, and its industry is also good now. Volkswagen has the largest automobile production plant in Europe, which can provide Germany with transportation means.
Just when the Kaiser was satisfied with Romania's participation in the military operation, Edel also approached the Chief of General Staff Plesan and asked him to prepare an emergency plan for an all-army maneuver exercise.
"Your Highness, I wonder what this exercise is about?" Puliesan asked.
"The content of this exercise is a sudden attack by Russia, and our troops rush to the battlefield to prepare to repel the opponent." Edel thought of putting on a show and did a full set to let Germany see the strength of Romania.
"Your Highness, I will go back to the staff headquarters to prepare for three days. We will start the exercise on the fifth day and strive to arrive at the designated location one week after the exercise starts." Puliesan also prepared according to wartime. He also wanted to see the reorganized army.
, what exactly does the whole army maneuver look like?
After Previn returned to the General Staff Headquarters, he arranged for his staff to work on the plan for the exercise overnight. After almost three days of rushing, the plan was finally submitted to Previn. He could hardly stand looking at it.
After stabilizing his staff, Previn ordered the plan to be sent to each division-level headquarters and asked them to start taking action on the third day after receiving the order. Each unit was divided into divisions and moved forward according to the established goals.
After receiving the telegram from the General Staff Headquarters, all division-level headquarters were in a state of panic. Each division issued marching route orders to subordinate units. After being communicated layer by layer, they finally practiced the marching of each unit.
Line content is communicated to the company level.
"Thor, haven't you prepared your luggage? Tomorrow you will be marching for six consecutive days." In the military camp of the Romanian Third Division, Devasili said to Thor, who was in the same village as him.
"Okay Devasily, I already knew it. I'm just sad that I can't see Jimmy." Thor told his friend about his feelings.
Devasili knew a month ago that his friend was dating a girl named Jimina. Every Sunday during the break, Torle would go out to have a tryst with the girl. Now the emergency drill made it impossible for him to do this anymore, of course.
Thor, who was in love, was quite dissatisfied.
"If you don't get ready, squad leader Billek will beat you up when he sees it." Devasili warned his friend.
Their squad leader Billek is the best fighter in the whole company, which is not important. What is important is that their strong squad leader has always believed in the fist theory. If he doesn't obey, he will be beaten with fists. If he fails to complete the task, he will be beaten with fists.
If he made a mistake, he would beat him with his fists. Even their platoon leader was beaten by him. If the company commander hadn't liked him very much, he would have been kicked out of the army. Behind his back, everyone called him "Bear", and the whole class was beaten by him.
He beat her with his fist until she was submissive.
It's really a good thing but not a bad thing. As soon as Devasili finished speaking, Billek's strong body appeared in front of them.
Billek glanced at him with his bear eyes and found that Thor hadn't prepared his luggage yet. He walked over and roared to Thor loudly. "Thor, why aren't you ready yet? I don't know tomorrow morning."
Are you ready to leave? Are you itchy again?"
As the violent bear roared, its saliva sprayed on Thor's face, making his legs tremble with fear. He looked like a quail being stared at by hounds.
"Monitor, I'll do it right away." Thor stammered to explain to the monitor.
After hearing Thor's explanation, Billek smiled at him and walked to him, reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "I will give you time."
Devasili, who was standing next to him, saw his squad leader showing such an expression, which meant someone was going to be unlucky.
The next day, Thor appeared in the marching column with a bruised and swollen pig-headed appearance. Facing the majesty of the "violent bear", a group of soldiers wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh, looking like they were working hard to hold it in.
"Toller, are you okay now?" asked fellow villager and friend Devasili.
"It still hurt a little last night, but it's much better now." Faced with Devasili's concerned inquiry, Toller responded calmly.
"Okay, now pack your bags and get ready to go." 'Bear Bear' Billek told them.
A group of people packed up and checked their equipment. Under the leadership of Billek, they lined up neatly and started heading towards their destination, a small town called Tomesti outside the city of Iasi.
Russia has been discussing Germany's threatening note for some time. The reason for the delay is that both Foreign Minister Izvoliski and the military believe that Germany and Austria's unreasonable requests should be rejected. And the government departments believe that Russia still needs to
It had not fully recovered, and it was still a question of how courageous France would be to declare war on Germany and Austria when Russia was facing war, so it thought it should give in.
Nicholas II was not a very decisive person, and he could not make a decision when faced with the dispute between the two groups. Now as time goes by, people on both sides believe that they can no longer argue and must make a decision as soon as possible. Now they
We are in the process of final discussions, and it cannot be that the people below cannot follow because there is no decision.
"We cannot give up our support for Serbia now. This will be a disaster for the empire's influence in the Balkans." Foreign Minister Izvolski was the first to say that this was not only for the country but also for himself.
"We almost went bankrupt when fighting Japan. Now our economy has finally eased. Now facing Germany and Austria, our finances will definitely go bankrupt." The finance minister analyzed the impact on Russia if a war breaks out from an economic perspective.
"Can the army win if a war breaks out?" Nicholas II asked the army representative Gilinsky.
"Your Majesty, if war breaks out, we will fight to the death to protect Russia."
Seeing the military's remarks suggesting that it could not be defeated now, Foreign Minister Izvolski said a little anxiously. "We still have allies in France, and they will not just watch us being attacked."
"But it is impossible for France to fight for Russia." Another senior government official said.
Just when the ministers were arguing, a young official broke in and handed a telegram to Prime Minister Stolypin. Stolypin took the telegram, read it, and walked to Nicholas II.
He said in front of him, "I just got the news that the Romanians have started military exercises on our adjacent border. I believe this should be some kind of agreement with Germany and Austria."
The ministers who were discussing were shocked when they heard the sudden news. This did not mean that they were afraid of Romania, but they did not expect that Romania would join the Bosnia and Herzegovina crisis at this time. Now with Romania joining, in the military
In comparison, Russia is even more at a disadvantage.
"Now the situation is not good for us, I think we need to make concessions." Prime Minister Stolypin expressed his opinion.
"But we cannot give up on Serbia because of a small Romania." Foreign Minister Izvoliski made the final struggle.
"The current Romanian army is no different from the German army. At most, the morale is worse. Now Germany and Austria have added 200,000 troops. Now it is obvious that they cannot win. Can't you see clearly?" Stolypin refuted the foreign minister's statement.
Speech.
"Okay." Nicholas II signaled that he had made a decision during the dispute between the ministers. As the Tsar finished speaking, everyone fell silent and waited for his decision.
"Sending a message to Germany, we recognize Austria-Hungary's sovereignty over Bosnia and Herzegovina, and at the same time we will persuade Serbia to exercise restraint on the Bosnia and Herzegovina issue." Nicholas II said to his ministers reluctantly.
After the Tsar made his decision, the message was sent to Germany and Austria. In the face of Russia's concession, both countries believed that this was a major victory that could curb Russia's ambitions in the Balkans.
