Chapter 131： Romania's plan

Eder took the telegram from Bulgaria’s Foreign Minister Dilas Roch, said Foreign Minister Barnosk. "These Bulgarians did a great job."

Foreign Minister Barnoske carefully asked the Crown Prince's opinion. "His Royal Highness, you see how we should respond to Bulgaria's request."

Seeing Foreign Minister Barnoske's cautious expression, Edel didn't care about him, and said straightforwardly. "Promise them and tell them that we will send this batch of arms in ten days."

After hearing the answer from the crown prince, Foreign Minister Barnosk went out to send a telegram to Bulgaria, intending to inform Bulgaria of the crown prince's intentions. It is estimated that Bulgarian Foreign Minister Dilas Roch is also waiting in a hurry.

After seeing Foreign Minister Barnosk go out, Edel called a guard to speak to him. "Call General Preeshan here."

"Good Majesty."

After the guard answered, he walked out of the palace to find General Preshan.

About half an hour later, the Chief of Staff Preshan strode to Edel. Speaking to the crown prince. "His Royal Highness, look for me."

Edel asked the chief of staff in front of him. "How did I ask you to do things?"

General Preeshan knew what the crown prince asked, and immediately said what the crown prince wanted to know. "I have asked the staff to do it."

"tell me the story."

General Preeshan took a map and told the crown prince about the plans he had prepared. "His Royal Highness, according to the plan of our General Staff Headquarters, we will concentrate 12 infantry divisions and one cavalry division of our Romanian army, plus three 150 heavy artillery regiments and one 210 heavy artillery regiment. This is what we attacked after we declared war on Bulgaria. All troops. In the country, we will leave the 1st Guards Division to defend the capital Bucharest, and on the border we will mobilize militias to form 6 temporary divisions to defend the border between Austria-Hungary and Russia."

After talking about domestic preparations, Preysan continued to talk about the plan for the army's attack. "I intend to form the 3rd, 2nd, 10th, and 10th Cavalry Divisions into the First Army as the arrow of our army. The 7th, 5th, 10th, and 2nd Guards Division will form the Second Army as the right wing of the First Army. The 1st, 4th, 8th, and 14th Divisions formed the Third Army, which was the left wing of the First Army. The 17th Division served as a backup guardian transportation line. The first task of the First Army was to capture Targovi, and the Second Army The initial task was to capture Polski, and the task of the Third Army was to capture Varna. After completing their respective goals, the three armies captured Tarnovo together. It is expected that we will encounter the main Bulgarian army near Tarnovo. At that time, our 12 divisions will defeat them in one fell swoop and establish the victory of this war."

After saying this, General Preeshan added. "We assigned the three 150 heavy artillery regiments to the three armies, and the 210 heavy artillery regiment followed our headquarters. This time we requisitioned the Volkswagen company for nearly half a month’s production of 1,100 Dongfeng trucks, plus our Romanian army. Our own nearly 2,000 trucks are enough to guarantee our logistics supply this time. Moreover, we also bring 24 aircraft from the flying team to ensure that we can detect the arrival of the Bulgarian army in time."

After listening to General Preshan's report, Edel was quite satisfied with the army's actions, so he continued to ask. "Are there any naval plans?"

"some."

Faced with the crown prince’s question, Preysan continued to talk about the naval plan given to him by the Secretary of the Navy Lomodan. "In the navy, after the Third Army starts operations, the cruiser Dachila will be the flagship, led by the cruiser Elizabeth, plus four Bogdan-class gunboats, and six Basnau-class torpedo boats. It will cooperate with the Third Army to capture Varna, after which the navy will send a fleet to block the remaining Bulgarian port of Burgas."

Hearing that the Preshan Army had revealed the entire combat plan of the Romanian Army, Edel said with satisfaction. "Well done. This time the Balkan War, Romania, we did not get any benefits. This is incredible. Now there is a dispute between Bulgaria and Secchi. This is our opportunity."

The chief of the general staff Preshan asked in a puzzled way. "But your Highness, why do we have to aid Bulgaria with so much arms?"

Edel smiled and said. "If both Sicily and Bulgaria can defeat Bulgaria, how can we still make conditions in Romania?"

General Preshan, who understood the thoughts of the crown prince, suddenly realized that Edel watched his chief of staff and continued. "Furthermore, our Romanian army has been reorganized for so many years. It is time to take a look. Bulgaria is called the Prussia of the Balkans. This is an excellent goal. General Plieshan, you wouldn’t think that our standing army can’t beat those tired Bulgarians. Right?"

After hearing the question from the crown prince, Preshan, the chief of the general staff, said frankly. "His Royal Highness will certainly not. We will let the world see the romanian army in this war. It's not that I boast. For an army like Bulgaria, we can do 1 fight 2 without any problems."

Romania is much better than Bulgaria in terms of equipment, training and morale. In the observation report given by the commander of the Twelfth Division, Fereit, Preyshan has already seen Bulgaria’s combat effectiveness. However, the Bulgarian style of play, encounters a situation like Romania equipped with a large number of machine guns, what will happen? Lieshan had already known everything during the exercise.

After sending off General Preshan, Edel looked at the map he had used before, rowing from the small town of Svistov on the Danube along the small town of Preslav to the Black Sea, bringing Dobri in Bulgaria The four cities of Qi, Ruse, Suman, and Varna have been demarcated with an area of ​​approximately 22,000 square kilometers.

Edel looked at the drawn Bulgarian territory and muttered to himself. "This will be a 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 could not help it. However, the split of the Balkan League gave him an opportunity. Of course, the territory is one aspect of why he wants to join the Sish League, and more importantly, the First World War is about to come. Edel urgently wants the European powers to see the powerful combat effectiveness of the Romanian army. In a war, there is an army with strong combat effectiveness. Whether it is neutral or joining the war, others can come up with a good condition to win. Bulgaria fully meets Edel's two conditions, and Bulgaria has not allocated 4000 square kilometers of territory to Romania. This will be the best excuse to start the war.

Now he just needs to wait for the hands of friendship between the two countries, and then talk to them about his requirements. As for the possibility of the two countries not coming, Edel does not have to worry at all. If the first power in the Balkans is not drawn into the alliance, the two countries are the brain problems.
