Chapter 276： Romania's response (part 2)

"Then talk about it."

Facing the king, Prieshan walked to the large map of Romania and began to explain it. "Your Majesty, let's talk about the offensive plan first. Here we first need to mobilize 400,000 militias to form new troops. It is estimated that the initial reorganization can be completed in one week. The second mobilization of the reserve will also be accelerated. Within days, the second batch of reserves must also enter the barracks. In addition, the third batch of mobilization will also be mobilized within three months, because this batch of mobilization military training is insufficient, so there will be sufficient After training, they were incorporated into the army in a supplementary situation."

Finally, the Chief of Staff Preshan said to Edel with a smile. "These are basically the work of Admiral Courtois, I'm just responsible for explaining them."

As the Secretary of the Army, Admiral Courtois said modestly. "Where, many of them were helped by the General Staff, and Lieutenant-General Fellerit gave a lot of help."

Hearing Admiral Courtois mentioning himself, Lieutenant General Feleit, who is the director of education, also nodded to the king. In the past few years, Lieutenant General Feleit has been doing well in the director of education, but he has been very low-key in the army, and he is usually not seen to make any comments at all, except for his own job. Many people say that he is getting more and more high-level.

After Puleshan finished talking about the mobilization mechanism, he began to talk about the affiliation of the troops. "Your Majesty, in our latest combat plan, we need to concentrate our forces first to take Transylvania."

For Preeshan's words, the military senior officers sitting here, including Edel, agreed. In the past countless deductions, as long as the Austro-Hungarian Empire is involved, the number one goal is to win Transylvania.

Because as long as you open the map, you can find that Romania looks like a U-shaped letter, and Transylvania is in the middle of the U-shaped letter. The Austro-Hungarian army that occupied Transylvania was able to threaten most of Romania from a commanding position, so once war with the Allied powers to take Transylvania was the primary goal. Otherwise, as long as the Austro-Hungarian army can't bear it in Transylvania, Romania will need to defend everywhere, which is unreasonable according to Romania's strength.

The terrain of Transylvania is also surrounded by three mountains, the Carpathian Mountains, the Southern Carpathians and the Apseni Mountains. The highest among them is of course the Carpathians and Southern Carpathians at the junction of Roo. The Apseni Mountains, which border the rest of Hungary, have become the focus of military attention. Because to resist the huge Austro-Hungarian army, it can only rely on the Apseny Mountains for defense, which saves precious troops for other places.

Plieshan explained the plan of the General Staff to Edel. "Your Majesty, we plan to attack Transylvania from three aspects. The first is the North Army Group. We plan to gather 9 divisions and use Bakuu as the assembly base. Break through the northern areas of Krakan and Protz. Yamaguchi, the combat goal is to take Leak and then Odosesque."

After talking about the plan of the North Road, the Admiral Pule Mountain will talk about the south. "Next is the Southern Army. We plan to gather 15 divisions with Valcea and Targuzhu as the assembly areas. However, the targets of the Southern Army are Sibiu and Deva. After taking Deva, the South Depending on the situation, the group army needs to leave three to five divisions to defend against the Austro-Hungarian forces that came from Temesburg and Adela. Then the remaining troops of the Southern Group will gather and take Alba Iulia.

After spending a lot of words about the Army of the South, Puleshan continued. "Finally is the Central Army in the middle. We plan to gather the forces of 11 divisions. With Buzau and Proiesti as the assembly places, the Central Army has a heavy task and needs to take Brasov as soon as possible and reinforce the North and South Army. ."

"If we can successfully accomplish all our goals, then the Central Army will be split to supplement the North and South Army. The enhanced Northern Army will take Turgu Mures, and the Southern Army will need to take Tur. In the end, we will join forces to take the core city of Cluj in Transylvania. After that, we leave 25-27 divisions to use the Apseni Mountains to defend, so that there will be 8-10 divisions that can be used for Other directions."

Edel has also seen such a plan more than once, each time it is necessary to assemble most of Romania's standing divisions and new divisions with high combat effectiveness. After several years of intensive training of the militia in Romania, it has been very effective. Now the basic infantry of the militia is not much to say, even the artillery, communication and chemical defense forces are well-trained. If the formation is not too far behind the standing division, the only problem is that it costs a lot.

Sure enough, Admiral Prieshan talked about other directions after finishing the offensive in Transylvania. "In Moldavia, we have prepared 16 divisions to defend against the enemy attacked from Galicia. Among them, we are in Suceava, where we are most likely to encounter, and we have prepared 4 divisions, and Because it is a plain area, our General Staff specially deployed a 210 heavy artillery regiment and a 150 cannon regiment for them. In Iasi we also prepared the strength of four divisions, as well as a 210 heavy artillery regiment. In Galati, we also have a 210 heavy artillery regiment. Prepare 3 divisions for defense. Among them, our largest 240 heavy artillery regiment is also deployed here. In addition to the deployment of 2 divisions and 3 divisions in Falknesa and Roman respectively for mobile support, we are in order to provide They strengthened their firepower and were assigned to a 150-heavy artillery regiment."

"Is it appropriate to deploy most of the heavy artillery regiments here?"

When the voice fell on Mount Pree, Edel asked curiously. It is necessary to know that these heavy artillery regiments of the Romanian army cost a lot of money. Is it too wasteful to use them for the defense of Moldavia?

In the face of Edel's inquiry, Admiral Preysan explained Your Majesty, we don't think this is a waste. We will encounter the most likely Eastern German Army in Moldavia. If there is no heavy artillery in the plains, I am afraid that the army dominated by second-line forces will be unable to withstand the pressure and retreat. "

Admiral Pret’s words made Edel also fall into silence. He also knew exactly what the German army represented in this era. Now it is obvious that the capture of Transylvania is the most important, and it can only be defended by these second-line troops. Thinking of this, Edel feels heavy.

Plie Mountain will continue to talk about the direction of Bulgaria. "Your Majesty, now Bulgaria is heading for the least but indeed the most crucial battle for us."

Edel put aside the sigh of the soldiers who will fight for the country's blood, and said in a spirited manner. "Go on."

"We are also planning to attack in the Bulgarian direction. However, the soldiers that make up the Bulgarian Army have only 8 divisions, but they are all elite troops of our Romanian army. The first and second divisions of the Imperial Guard will be used in this direction. Ruse and Suman are the assembly areas, with Pleven and Veliko Tarnovo as the primary targets. After occupying here, they will directly target the Bulgarian capital Sofia. However, this requires the Allied forces gathered in Paralia, Greece to contain The main force living in Bulgaria in Thessaloniki."

After finishing the explanation on Preeshan, Edel slapped the palm twice as a recognition of the plan, he said to the Big Three present. "This plan is good, and I will seriously consider it. You can make preparations according to this plan."

Now we still need to look at the attitudes of Britain and France towards Romania. In this case, Edel has been unable to sit still, so can the British and French governments still sit down?
