Chapter 396： conflict

"Your Majesty, Admiral Salamik has captured Budapest."

An attendant took a telegram and ran into the room loudly to announce the good news.

"I see, little Monar go down."

Edel looked at the impulsive attendant and waved through the telegram he had handed over.

The attendant heard the king's words and saw the queen sitting next to him retreat in embarrassment.

Sophie Marie took a look, and the reckless attendant asked, "This is the youngest son of the Monars?"

Edel complained to his wife with some headaches: "Yes, this kid who is always in trouble was forced in by his old man to be my attendant, and he made trouble for me."

Edel's helpless expression caused the queen to smile indifferently, covering her mouth: "I heard that he became famous in Bucharest last year, and many people looked at him with admiration."

"I also heard about this."

What the wife said, Edel also knew, this is good things do not go out and disasters will spread for thousands of miles. This kid did a shocking thing last year. He publicly wanted to marry a woman who had missed his footing into the house. Even if he was locked up, he must marry this true love.

This stubborn kid gave birth to the goddess of his old son, the earl of Monal. In the end, seeing that the incident became more and more troublesome, the misstep woman saw that the situation was not right and finally let go and ended the farce. However, after this incident, feeling that his son was uncomfortable, Earl Monar approached Edel and asked him, his ineffective son, to follow suit. And Edel considered the Monar family's respect to the royal family all the time, and agreed, and it turned out to be like this.

Edel took a look at the telegram and put it on the table. Queen Mary, who has 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?"

In the face of his wife, Edel said without concealment: "The city won at the cost of more than 50,000 casualties, how can you please me. Salamik's work has disappointed me too much."

In fact, Edel knew that Salamik had done very well, and the results of annihilating more than 200,000 enemies were great. However, the number of casualties close to 60,000 also made him feel bleeding in his heart. This is not a mobilizing force, but also an elite standing army that has been trained for many years. This time, it was beaten and disabled. Edel didn't send a reprimanding telegram to Salamick, because he had served the kingdom for many years, so he wanted to reward him for his actions.

Not to mention Edel's grievances against Admiral Salamik, the Romanian army after occupying Budapest immediately encircled several factories that had already been delineated under martial law. The Budapest Steel Plant, Arms Factory, Chemical Plant, etc., these famous factories are all being delineated.

After Romania has dispatched experts to evaluate the facilities of these factories, the equipment deemed suitable for Romania will be shipped back to the country. This is also to cover a small part of the cost of this troop dispatch.

While Romania was intensively doing its own thing, an unexpected thing happened.

In a freshly released surveillance post on the outskirts of Budapest, a Romanian military officer sits and takes a rest. In the past few days, he was exhausted, and he was rushing and fighting, and finally took down the enemy's capital Budapest, and he was arranged to lead a defense base on the front line. After arranging these things one by one, I can finally relax and smoke for a while. At this time, the king of heaven is here, so don't bother yourself.

The Romanian officer who was swallowing clouds thought to himself, but as if God didn't want to do what he wanted, a voice pulled him back to reality.

"Company commander, come out, there is a situation."

The company commander, who was disturbed by a sound of something, immediately put out the cigarette in his hand and ran out.

"What's the situation? Does the People's Army come from?"

For the People’s Army who had fought with him, this company commander had a deep reflection. Although those people were not capable of fighting, their morale was quite high, and they could charge with machine gun firepower, completely disregarding their own lives. This kind of desperate play caused his company to suffer a lot of losses, and now he still has lingering fears.

In the face of the company commander’s questioning, it was reported that the soldiers said: “It’s not the People’s Army, but the army under another banner.”

"Let me see what army this is."

The company commander standing on a high place raised the telescope in his hand and checked it. Judging from the flying military flag, this is a red, white and green tricolor flag, rather than the red, sickle and hammer gang flag of the People’s Army.

"Go to someone and ask what they do."

Looking at the armed group of nearly a thousand people, the company commander did not at all urge him to give orders to his sentry. He believes that a team that is open to him will not be hostile. And the source of his confidence is the Romanian army of more than 100,000 in Budapest.

After getting the order of his company commander, a sentry quickly ran to the team.

"Stop, what do you do?"

Facing the high-pitched inquiry from the sentinel, the team stopped. At this moment two officers walked out of them. One of them, a bearded officer with the rank of major, spoke to the officer next to him in Hungarian that the sentry could not understand. Then the officer, who was obviously an interpreter, said to 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 thank you for removing our people from the evil rule of the People’s Army. Rescued in China, and now we are going to the capital Budapest."

After hearing the officer's words, the sentry said: "Wait here, I need to report to our superior."

After speaking, he immediately ran back and informed the company commander.

"The Republican army, want to go to Budapest?"

Listening to the sentinel, the company commander knew that this matter had to be reported, but the company commander would not let him go to the Republican Army from nowhere. "Let them wait at a distance of two kilometers away from the garrison, and open fire without daring to approach. What kind of messy Republican army, when they hit the People's Army, why didn't they see it when they picked peaches."

It seems that the company commander does not want to see this armed force.

And if the sentry took it, the armed forces of the Hungarian Republican Army were a little bit turbulent. Their deputy commander looked at the sentry in front of him with an angry face, but the undaunted Romanian soldier came forward. In the end, the deputy head felt that his arm could not twist his thigh, and 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 and eased his embarrassment, a little bit of anger. Of course the Admiral knew that this Republican Army was an armed force of the Hungarian Republican government that retreated to its southern city. However, as for this government, there is no clear attitude in Romania at present, and everything has to wait for the decision of the Allies.

In this intervention, not to mention that Romania sent troops and the intervention was basically supported by Romania. But Romania has no right to choose the future Hungarian government.

Moreover, the purpose of this dispatch of troops is very clear, which is to determine that the territory east of the Tisza River belongs to Romania. So Romania has no interest at all in the Hungarian Republican government.

"Kill them away."

Admiral Salamik finally decided to drive away the people who came to pick up the bargain first. As for what to do in the future, he must wait for domestic instructions.

After the admiral's order was issued, a regiment of Romanian troops was dispatched to drive the Republican Army who had come to take over Budapest out of Budapest. In the face of the Romanian army's drive, these republican armed forces can only get out of desperation.

Coincidentally, apart from Budapest, in many cities on the east bank of the Danube currently occupied by Romania, armed republics have emerged, and these people have been driven away by the local Romanian garrison. This situation aroused the Romanian side's attention, and after some investigation, the impetus behind the incident was also revealed. Admiral Horti, the commander of the Hungarian Republican Army, was doing these little moves.
