Chapter 548: Luosu Local War (1)

The conflict between Romania and Soviet Hurmek was irrelevant to the rest of Europe. Although many newspapers have worried that this may lead to a peaceful environment in Europe, this is only civil rhetoric.

However, when the two sides begin to gather their armies, there is a possibility of a big battle. The attitude of various countries has begun to change, and many countries, most of them are small and medium-sized countries, for fear that this will cause regional turmoil and affect the stability of their own countries.

And on the side of the big powers, the attitude has become a bit playful. Italy is the most staunch supporter of Romania, and its Prime Minister Mussoneri has publicly condemned the Soviet Union's provocations against Romania. In addition, in order to show its support, the Italian government also supported a batch of arms to Romania, although these arms were not used by Romania because of the different calibers, but it could still be seen that this was Italy's intention.

Britain and France, on the other hand, only verbally condemned the Soviet Union, and called for a peaceful attitude, but there was no aid. As for Germany, there is not even a word of condemnation, only an appeal for peace.

As for the Polish side, which entered into a de facto anti-Soviet alliance with Romania, the situation was different. First of all, Poland was wary of the Soviet Union, but Pilsudski, who was currently in power in Poland, was also pursuing a policy of rapprochement with the two countries. Because the ruler who held great power in Poland knew that although Poland and France had signed a treaty of friendship and mutual assistance, the establishment of Poland was ultimately to the detriment of the interests of Germany and the Soviet Union, so he actively promoted reconciliation with the two countries. Basically, Poland's position at this time was neutral.

However, although he was promoting reconciliation with the two countries, he also knew that Poland needed its own strength. In addition, it is necessary to build good relations with other neighboring countries, among which the relationship with Romania has become the most important.

So when Pilsudski received a telegram from Romania requesting Poland to gather troops on the Soviet border for military exercises, he was somewhat embarrassed. Because Romania was very important to Poland, and the rapprochement with the USSR that it implemented itself was also quite important.

Now Romania's request is completely contrary to his intentions, which makes him very difficult.

Other Polish military and political officials were equally troubled, because this would not only be a revision of Polish foreign policy, but it would also further deteriorate relations between Poland and the Soviet Union. But if Romania's request is rejected, relations between Romania and Romania are bound to quickly drift apart.

In the end, Pilsudski decided to let the Polish army gather on the border of the Soviet Union, and the reason was to use the army to adjust. As for military exercises, forget it. This both granted Romania's request and tried not to offend the Soviet Union.

Therefore, when the conflict between Romania and the Soviet Union escalated, Poland also mobilized a large number of troops to the border with the Soviet Union.

Poland's position of inadmissibility, Eder also hinted that he knew it. It is also acceptable for Poland to gather troops on the border, after all, Poland and Romania have not reached a good level of wearing a pair of pants, and this has been satisfied, and as for the request for that military exercise, it is just a move by him to test Poland's attitude.

Now the most important thing is that Romania fights this war on its own, who would have thought that this provocation would lead to such a result, but it is too late to say anything, it is time to see if Romania's military power has improved over the years.

At a time when there was a lot of talk about this, Admiral Mandiv, as the commander of this time, was busy in his headquarters.

"Where is the 4th Heavy Artillery Regiment?"

"We are already arriving in Odessa, and the head of the regiment, Colonel Dokel, has sent a telegram that there will be no delay in arrival."

After hearing the staff officer's answer, Admiral Mandiff continued to look at the map and asked. "So what's going on with the transportation of supplies?"

Major General Torris, who is in charge of transportation scheduling, reported that the current situation of personnel and material transportation is normal, and the problem of transportation jams caused by the breakdown of two trains has been resolved, and he has requisitioned two more locomotives from the railway department. In order to ensure that this situation does not happen again, he also scattered the spare locomotives at various stations, and sent the spare locomotives to pull them away as soon as there was a train failure. ”

"Okay, I got it. Anything else? ”

"That's all."

Admiral Mandiv sent the reported staff officer away, and continued to observe the operational map. If the Soviets saw the map, they would be able to rely on it to know where to launch the offensive, how many troops they were compiling, and what equipment they were using. However, such a map showing the information of the army does not exceed three points in Romania, and one copy is in the General Staff. One in front of the royal palace Edel, and one in him. Once a unit arrives at a location, it will report back to it, and the staff officer will remark its location on the map.

However, Admiral Mandiv had already taken this to heart, and continued to look at the map only to deepen his impression, and in addition to this, there was also a hint of his thoughts.

For Mandiv, this was the first time that he was able to independently command a large-scale battle of more than 100,000 men. Before, the scale was only tens of thousands, or it was a deputy for others. Especially before this, he didn't have the great feats of being able to convince the public, which made him feel heavy pressure.

Although he has worked hard in the position of director of education, the military is the place where the most important place is to pay attention to military achievements. Admiral Fereit understood his situation, otherwise it would have been more convincing for him to command the battle.

So for Mandiv, there was no room for loss in this battle, so he had to take care of many things personally.

Just as he was sighing, a report interrupted him.

"What's the matter?"

Admiral Mandiv asked the staff officers who had come in.

"We have just received an intelligence that the Soviet Union has drawn troops from Most to reinforce Kyiv, which are currently only five hundred kilometers away from Kyiv."

After hearing the staff officer's report, Mandiv took the telegram and read it himself. The telegram came from an agent in Romania who was embedded in the Soviet railway department. It says that they are required to do a good job in the control of the railway, to suspend the transportation of all passenger and freight trains from Kiev on the 14th and 15th, and also to have the station prepare hot water and food.

Moreover, the agent also found out that it was a train coming directly from Moscow. Combined with the current situation in the two countries, he is sure that this is a train to transport troops. The arrival of these Soviet troops was a very threatening threat to Romania. So he risked being found out and sent this telegram back.

And the Romanian intelligence service also attached great importance to this and immediately sent it to the military. As the commander of the front, Admiral Mandiff naturally has the right to know at the first time.

And this news did surprise Admiral Mandiv, if he did not know that the arrival of this group of troops would be a very big threat to the next battle.

So he said immediately. "Send a telegram to the intelligence services and ask them to find out the numbers and numbers of these troops who are coming."

Then Mandiv continued his sermon. "Immediately call in the operational staff and prepare to change the plan."

He was going to redo the plan to take these forces into account. It must not be allowed to disrupt Romania's operational deployment.

With Mandiv's order, there was another rush of chickens and dogs jumping in the headquarters.
