Chapter 286： Preparation (6)

At the Romanian Prime Minister's Office, Andrei is waiting for his leadership outside the Prime Minister's door. As a top student who has just graduated from Bucharest University for less than ten years, his current job is simply a dream.

It was Andrei, who was in his early thirties, was working as a secretary, but he was working as a secretary for the head of the government, Bretianu. In addition to his excellent personal abilities, Andrei got this position, but his family and the prime minister also have a great relationship. Otherwise, apart from serving the king as the captain of the guard, why can he get this position that is considered the second shortcut?

At this time Andre saw the Minister of Industry Karaturi coming out of the Prime Minister's office, and he knocked on the door and walked in. Seeing the slightly tired Prime Minister, Andre asked softly. "Prime Minister, Interior Minister Wendiller is already waiting. Do you need to make him wait?"

After hearing what his secretary said, Prime Minister Bretianu rubbed his cheek and spoke to him. "Andre, you ask Wendiller to come in, there are still a lot of things that need to be handled by the Ministry of Interior."

After hearing the Prime Minister’s order, Andrei immediately went out and planned to bring in Wentile Bretianu, who also belonged to the Bretianu family.

Watching Andre, who had served as his secretary for two years, left, Prime Minister Bretianu was considering where his secretary would go. This is not because the Prime Minister is dissatisfied with his secretary. In fact, in the two years since Andre served as his secretary, Bretianu, as prime minister, is also very satisfied with his serious and close-sounding performance. But Bretianu, as the prime minister, is planning ahead, because the Bretianu family is currently in an awkward state.

Except for him and his cousin Wendiller, his family's reserve talents are not available. In the face of the loss of talent, Bretianu, as the prime minister, is not unaware of the dangers of a political family. Therefore, in addition to finding good talents for marriage, it is also a good way to use the location to make good friends. That is why Andrei can serve as the secretary of the prime minister for two years. And before that, the Prime Minister had arranged two secretaries to take up official positions. The effect was not bad, and the Prime Minister intends to continue.

Andre didn't know the prime minister's thoughts at all, but he looked at the interior minister who walked into the prime minister's office and felt the difference in his heart these days. Since the Prime Minister came back from a meeting in the palace a few days ago, his work has become more and more busy. The evening is basically busy until after ten o'clock, and in the past few days, he has frequently convened meetings of various cabinet members. The information about the discussions is also very secret even as the Prime Minister. The secretary could not listen, so Andre felt more and more that something was going to happen.

When Andre, who is the secretary of the prime minister, was a little confused, he was also very busy in the General Staff.

"This is totally impossible. Lupeni's defenders can't get around at all, and you didn't consider the consequences of a failed raid, and the lack of transportation facilities would not be able to keep up with the follow-up troops. This plan can be killed directly."

"But we can assault Lupeni’s defenders. The main thing is that we are fully prepared to take down here, and as long as we succeed, we can take Petrosani without any effort, and then we can attack Deva northward. Blocking reinforcements from Hungary or cooperating with Sibiu eastward is of great benefit."

In the combat office of the General Staff Headquarters, the most elite staff officers in the entire army are having fierce disputes. As the division chief, Colonel Stott watched the subordinates and the staff arguing, and did not intend to bother too much. In Colonel Stott's view, the truth became clearer and clearer, and the battle plan was the same. The battle plan without argumentation was not complete. Now he is looking sadly at his subordinate staff to justify the dispute.

But at this moment, a staff officer broke into the combat area and saw him speak loudly. "You don't need to argue. Just got the news that Austria-Hungary has two more stationed in Transylvania, and one of them is stationed in Petrosani."

The staff's words caused an uproar on the scene.

"Damn, the plan at hand now has to be redone."

"It's over, three days of hard work has been done in vain."

At this time, a clever staff member stepped forward and asked the staff member who had brought bad news. "Then there is another division? Where is the garrison?"

The staff interviewed told the truth. "Just...just stationed in Sebeshi."

"what?"

The staff's words caused another uproar at the scene.

"There are 5 divisions in the Austro-Hungarian army on the southern front, how can we break through quickly?"

"How do we break through. Sebes is 24 kilometers away from Petrosani and 20 kilometers away from Sibiu. No matter where we attack first, we will be reinforced in one day."

Obviously, the arrangement of the second Austro-Hungarian division made this group of staff members a little frustrated. At this time, Colonel Stott, who was the director, needed to go on stage to cheer up his subordinates. I saw him walking up to the group of staff officers and shouting. "It's all quiet."

Facing the roar of his boss, all the staff members stopped arguing and looked at him quietly.

Colonel Stott, who was satisfied with the effect of his words, continued to speak in a passionate tone. "Look at what you still look like, isn't it that Austria-Hungary has reinforced two divisions. It's like the sky is falling. Do you still remember the inferences we made before? The worst result is that Austria-Hungary was in Transylvani. Ya has assembled half a million troops, and now it is less than 200,000. Why are you panicking?

Colonel Stott's words calmed the staff. The thought of what he had done was a bit too panic, and he didn't have the confidence to serve as an elite staff member. Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Colonel Stott planned to return to his office to think about a response plan. At this time, the adjutant of Admiral Puleshan found him. "Captain, the admiral has something to ask you."

"Okay, I know. I'll go right away."

Colonel Stott knew what was going to happen to him as the chief of the general staff, Admiral Prey, that was to let himself come up with a war plan against Transylvania. It’s funny to say that Romania has decided to declare war on the Allied camps, but the battle of Transylvania, which used the largest force, has not come up with a final battle plan. This makes it a battle plan for the war. Colonel Stott had no light on his face.

But he can’t be blamed. Who makes the Austro-Hungarian forces in Transylvania continue to grow? From the beginning, there are 180,000 people from 60,000 people in a month and a half now. This rapid growth has changed the combat plan again and again, and Colonel Stott himself is also very old-fashioned.

"Stort, how is your work recently, do you need other departments to cooperate?"

As soon as Colonel Stott entered the office, the Chief of Staff Preshan asked with a look of concern, but through the admiral's red eyes it can be seen that he is worried.

In the face of your admiral’s concern, Colonel Stott knew that this was urging him to come up with a plan as soon as possible. As the chief of the operations department, he also knew about the time for Romania to declare war, and now there is not much time left for him. , Now he also needs a plan to give the admiral an explanation.

Just then Colonel Stott thought of a plan he had shelved. The plan itself is very good, but it has a shortcoming that is very bold and whimsical. Colonel Stott put it on the shelf when he saw it. However, because of the bold and careful side of it, Colonel Stott is now also planning to give your admiral a reference.

"I have a plan here, but it's too bold. I don't know if the general is interested."

When facing Colonel Stott, Admiral Pule became interested. "tell me the story."

Colonel Stott whispered to the admiral quietly, and Puleshan also had various expressions when he heard the words of the colonel. Even if I have been the chief of staff for many years and have seen many novel schemes, I was surprised by this novel and bold scheme. However, after letting go of the surprise in his heart, Puleshan carefully recalled that the feasibility of this plan was still very high.

"This plan is still good. You can continue to make other plans while improving it, but I will give you up to half a month in time. Go and prepare."

Pule Mountain Admiral said at the end that he took a look at today's wall calendar, which indicated that the time was October Day, and there was not much time left for Romania.
