The growth of the Belt and Road Party in Bulgaria has always been a good thing for Romania. That's right, the Belt and Road Party, because the Bulgarian Social Democratic Party has always been secretly financed by Romania. Romania has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in this party, and the mastermind behind all this is the wise and powerful Eder Majesty.

For Eder, being trapped in the Black Sea would prevent Romania from effectively exerting its influence in the Middle East. It also affects Romania's market development behavior in the vast number of Asian and African countries and regions. So for the Kingdom of Bulgaria, Eder is determined to win.

However, despite its ambitions for Bulgaria, it is not yet a good time to seize it. Because Britain and France are not yet completely dragged down by the domestic economy, and still have the ability to intervene in European affairs, and Eder does not want Romania to be targeted as a bird. In addition, the Bulgarian Belt and Road Party is not strong enough at the moment, and if it now shows Romania's ambition to merge with it, it will provoke a fierce resistance.

Although the Bulgarian people have a favorable opinion of Romania at present, they have not completely given up their confidence in the country's strength. In fact, several Balkan countries now have ambitions to dominate the Balkans, but to achieve the goal of making Romania the most powerful.

It will take a little longer, and this is Eder's attitude towards Bulgaria at the moment.

Of course, the reason for Eder to abandon the current merger with Bulgaria is not only the external environment, but also the domestic situation.

Although at present, the Romanian economy has been forced to develop due to the government's increased investment. However, these funds are all from the additional banknotes, which can be said to have sheared the wool of the people. The Romanian currency, the leu, depreciated by 6% in the foreign exchange market. This is a market factor, the reaction to the government's additional monetary issuance. This has also led to a general increase in domestic prices, causing discontent among the population.

Eder certainly can't ignore this situation. Popular discontent is likely to trigger a search for an outlet, and whatever they do will cost Romania. Since the people need to vent their frustrations, let Edel help them find them.

All this that has happened to you is a conspiracy, a conspiracy from the Red Soviet Union.

That's right, the catharsis that Eder chose was the Soviet Union. Don't get me wrong, Eder didn't want to attack the Soviet Union, and as far as the current state of development of the Soviet Union is concerned, it is self-evident who will win in a full-strength battle between the two countries.

Although it was impossible to fight the Soviet Union in full force, a skirmish was still possible.

That's right, Eder intends to engage in a skirmish on the border.

Because at present, the Soviet Union is making every effort to develop its domestic economy, and it is not at all using other energy for other things, and I don't see that the Soviet Union has been repairing diplomatic relations with various neighboring countries. Moreover, even Romania and Poland, two countries that occupied many of their original territories, Stalin was able to put aside his position and send people to make secret contacts, but for various reasons it was unsuccessful.

Shifting the public's attention to domestic problems abroad is a trick that has not been used by many governments, both in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad. Some succeeded, some failed.

And Eder was going to use this trick this time, so now he has three current leaders at the helm of the army, Field Marshal Prieshan, the Minister of the Army, the Chief of the General Staff, General Fereitt, and the Army's Director of Education, General Mandiv.

Eder had already quietly informed the three Army leaders of his intentions, and now it was time to listen to the Army's choice of location for this conflict.

Outside the King's office, the guards were ordered to mirror anyone to trespass, so they kept an eye on the surroundings to prevent anything suspicious.

In the office, there is a large war table, which is cut in two parts with a red line, and the words Romania and the Soviet Union are written on one side, which is a map of the border between Romania and the Soviet Union. On this border map are also marked with military markings such as towns, armies, fortresses, roads, etc., and Admiral Fereit is holding a baton, pointing to a certain place on the map, while telling Eder.

"Your Majesty, there are several locations suitable for skirmishes at the moment."

"The Malen River, located on the border of Ternopil, is not suitable for large-scale battles because of its hilly terrain, and fully meets His Majesty's requirement for no more than one division. However, the disadvantage is that it is not far from Shepetovka, an important city of the enemy, which may cause the other side to miscalculate. ”

Eder listened to Admiral Fereitt's report as he looked at the location he was pointing at. On the map, the Malen River is the border between the two countries. But there was a sudden turn in the Soviet Union, which left much of the Soviet territory on the West Bank, and it was clear that the military intended to take advantage of this.

It seems that His Majesty does not want to cause a large-scale conflict, Admiral Fereitt, who knows Edel's thoughts, continued. "Then there's Khmelnik in Vinnytsia, where there is a border where both sides have historically bypassed a mountain called Helmek, and we can take advantage of the opportunity to create conflict in the area. The disadvantage is that it is the closest to Kyiv, and the advantage is that our country is more convenient to transport here, which is conducive to our actions. ”

Eder saw that the place marked as Mount Helmek was not far from the border town of Khmelnik, and that there were far fewer roads in the Soviet Union. Its nearest town, Kazatin, is also a short distance away, which is very favorable to the Romanian topography.

"And then there's Oshnika in Nikolaev, which is also not conducive to large-scale battles because of the swamps, and the scale of the battles can only be completed by a brigade at most."

It is indeed marked as swampy terrain. It could even be said that apart from a few passable roads, the rest of the area is either swamps or dense forests, and Khmelnik is the only town in this small area.

Eder looked up and asked after listening to Admiral Fereitt's account. "So which one do you think you should choose?"

The three of you, look at me, I look at you, and in the end, it was Marshal Preshan who spoke. "At the request of His Majesty, our opinion is to choose Mount Hurmek in Khmelnik."

Then Prysan spoke about the benefits of choosing this place. "First of all, it is the closest to Kyiv, and the Soviet Union is unlikely to back down, which is conducive to the outbreak of conflict. Secondly, the terrain here is favorable to us, this Hermek mountain is gentle and steep in the east, and the area is more convenient for us to transport than our opponents. In addition, the region was not a strategic point and was not a must-conquer for the Soviet Union. ”

The current Marshal of Prishon is more and more like the deceased Marshal Courtois, who has basically delegated power to the two generals, Fereit and Mandive, and rarely makes a decision so directly, although this must be the result of the three of them deliberating together, but it is still rare.

"Then choose the Hermec Mountains, which is the best place for us."

Eder pointed to Mount Helmek on the map and spoke of his decision.
