Chapter 487 of the Romanian Eagle's text volume visits Poland. At the Tolever Barracks located outside Warsaw, a military meeting between the two countries is about to begin.
"Salute."
With a slogan, the Polish soldiers who stood upright immediately saluted the military uniformly. Accompanied by the military salute were Piłsudski and Fereit, two big bosses, who walked slowly in front of these soldiers.
"Polish soldiers have a good posture. I can see from them that they are disciplined and brave."
Admiral Feleit, who passed by, praised the Polish soldiers.
"Your Excellency is too good. The ability of the Romanian army has been demonstrated to the best in previous wars. We are still far behind you."
Piłsudski didn't have much complacency in the face of Admiral Fereit's praise. He has seen the strength of the Romanian army with his own eyes. At present, the Polish army is still far from it. And this meeting with General Fereit, the Romanian chief of staff, was also to enhance the strength of the Polish army.
"Where, under the leadership of your Excellency, it is not difficult for the Polish army to surpass us."
The two talked briefly to promote personal feelings, while the other officers followed to a spacious conference room.
"Sorry, our meeting can only be held here at the moment."
"It doesn't matter, we are all soldiers, not so particular."
From a short sentence, Admiral Feleit was keenly aware of the subtle relationship between the Polish army and the government. But thinking about the talks about military cooperation, choosing this barracks instead of other places can explain a lot of problems. This is also good, it has ruled out the possibility of its military and government acting.
But thinking of the current delicate relationship between the Polish government and the army, Feleit is a little worried about this ally. Because like Germany, the Polish army has a unique political position in its country. And they do not have a powerful figure who can integrate the two sides, so their internal friction may increase until a victory is determined.
This is not only the opinion of General Fereit, but also the general opinion of the current delegation. But this has little effect on Romania, because no matter who has the advantage, they need Romania as an ally.
"Your Excellency, this is our proposal to cooperate with the Romanian military. Please have a look."
After the guest of honor was seated, Piłsudski took the cooperation draft from the officers around him and handed it to Admiral Feleit. Subsequently, a large number of cooperation drafts were distributed to the Romanian military officers.
try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){} Admiral Fereit, who took over the cooperation draft, did not go to see it, because his officers would do these things well, and he and Pi Su Sky was chatting.
In fact, regarding this military cooperation, Poland has prepared a lot of clauses, involving as many as 467 in the Chinese military, mainly in terms of cooperation on technical arms such as cavalry, tanks, aircraft, and artillery.
In fact, Piłsudski was very interested in the battle where the Romanian Cavalry Mixed Armored Unit defeated the Soviet Russian Cavalry First Army in that war. Not only personally inquired about the specific situation of the battle, but also went to the field to investigate. Because of the Polish terrain, its vast plain terrain is unobstructed, which is very unfavorable for defense. In particular, the Soviet Union, its main opponent, has a large cavalry force, which makes Piłsudski feel worried.
Different from the seven-eight-eights that have been tailored on the Western European continent, the cavalry is still a very deterrent force in the vast eastern European plains with incomplete road facilities. As one of the new major countries in Eastern Europe, Poland also has the second largest cavalry force in Europe. Despite the large number of cavalry, the size of the Soviet cavalry was too large, and the Poles were under great pressure.
At this time, the new things like tanks that restrained the cavalry came into Piłsudski's eyes. More importantly, in previous battles, Romania has demonstrated the use of tanks to cooperate with cavalry to attack the huge Soviet cavalry unit. The Poles, of course, want to learn something and build their own armored cavalry unit.
Yes, what the Poles learned in that battle was the armored cavalry. In the opinion of Polish officers, mixing tanks and armored vehicles with cavalry can not only solve the problem of insufficient cavalry capability, but also solve the problem of combatants following.
As for the Romanian armored brigade that centralizes tanks and armored vehicles, it seems to the Poles to be too wasteful. The use of armored brigade alone seems to be too large and not flexible enough, and other troops need to be temporarily deployed to show its powerful combat effectiveness. Such use is too complicated and not conducive to daily combat use, and can only be revealed at the moment of decisive battle.
According to the Polish practice, it is to set up an armored battalion under the current Polish cavalry brigade, with 21 tanks as an assault force. This kind of organization will greatly improve in small-scale battles.
And the military cooperation negotiated with Admiral Fereit this time is the plan to learn the use of armor from Romania. And in order to ensure the smooth learning, Poland also plans to introduce Jackal III tanks from Romania as vehicles for the armored cavalry brigade. In addition to equipping the armored cavalry brigade with Jackal III tanks, the Poles also equip it with a large number of Renault F -17 light tank.
try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){} But unlike the Jackal III, which requires real money to buy, the Renault F-17 is basically military aid sent by Britain and France. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the armored cavalry brigade, Renault-17 will only be equipped with a light armored company, and the other company will be equipped with a Jackal III tank.
According to this plan, Poland will import nearly 100 Jackal III tanks from Romania. However, this is not a free introduction, and a copy of the tank drawings for the Jackal III will also be given to Poland. In addition, Volkswagen will also send people to guide Poland to build its own tank factory to produce its parts and wholes This is only part of Poland’s military cooperation draft regarding tanks. In fact, this cooperation plan is Romania. Cooperate with the Polish military in many aspects including tanks, armored vehicles, aircraft, staff officers, and logistics that are currently proud of. Of course, the Polish military did not let the Romanian military cooperate in vain, and a large amount of its arms procurement funds would be transferred to Romania. And Poland also has some things that interest Romania, such as the use of cavalry.
In addition to the discussions between General Fereit and Piłsudski on the cooperation between the two militaries, Poland has also signed a number of agreements with Romania on the government side, mainly to strengthen cooperation in energy and trade.
In addition, the two countries’ concern for their diasporas is also the focus of this talk, mainly the establishment of a heavy industrial base in the Lviv region, which caused some complaints from the Poles who had moved out of the region before. They think it was the Romanian government who tricked them to leave the city, causing them to miss many benefits. Therefore, there has always been a voice in Poland, hoping that Poland and Romania can discuss the issue of nationality between the two countries, mainly because Poland wants Romania to recognize dual citizenship.
And Edel, who is at the helm of Romania, is unwilling to do so, because dual citizenship is very detrimental to Romania at present. Therefore, the two countries did not negotiate on this issue, which disappointed many Poles.
However, during the visit to Poland for more than a week, Romania reached a number of favorable agreements with Poland in terms of economy and military diplomacy. These agreements also strongly ensured the subsequent Luo-Poor relationship, which was not broken until great changes occurred in the European continent.
