On June 14, 1919, the Entente issued an ultimatum to the German Empire and the Hungarian Soviet Republic at the same time! The Germans were ordered to accept the peace treaty proposed by the Entente Powers on Germany within seven days, which became known as the Treaty of Versailles.

The Entente's demands for the Hungarian Soviet Republic were unconditional surrender, the cessation of all forms of resistance, the surrender of all weapons, the abolition of the Soviet Republic, and the surrender of the city of Budapest to the Romanian, Czech, Serbian, and French forces that were attacking it...... This is the "real unconditional surrender", and if the Hungarians agree, then the fate of their real country will depend on the conscience of the Entente.

However, such an extremely harsh ultimatum was still very reasonable in the eyes of the leaders of Britain, the United States and France. Because the Allied coalition forces had already attacked outside Budapest in late May.

The ensuing offensive and defensive battles were somewhat brutal, with Romanians and Czechs reportedly suffering heavy losses, Hungarian partisan activity was also rampant, and many German military advisers were said to have helped the Hungarians command and train their troops. But no one doubts the outcome of this war.

Woodrow in Paris. Wilson, Lloyd. George and Clemenceau, in their opinion, the question now is only when to take Budapest. Even if the Hungarian Bolsheviks were to the end, victory would only be a matter of time - this is, of course, a layman's opinion.

As for the insiders, as long as you know a little about the performance of the Romanian army in the world war, I am afraid that your heart will be hanging in your throat. Because at least half of the huge coalition forces (Romanians) that are attacking Budapest are completely unreliable.

Everyone knows that the Romanian army in World War I looked good in addition to military uniforms - this is recognized by their chief of the General Staff, Jan Brown. Admiral Florescu, as if he were a fashion designer, personally inquired about the design of military uniforms, so that the Romanian army had the most fashionable and tasteful military uniforms - there was nothing meritorious.

Their only role in World War I was to allow the Germans to seize enough food and fuel to sustain Russia until the collapse of Russia in 1917.

It was because of their knowledge of the Romanian army that the German military advisers chose Romania as the first target.

Just when the Entente demanded the unconditional surrender of the Hungarian Soviet Republic, and then let it be slaughtered. The reserve army, consisting of four infantry divisions (including 12 artillery batteries equipped with 1913-style 75mm mountain guns) and a task force (dressed in beautiful Romanian uniforms, speaking Romanian, and numbered according to the deployment of the Romanian army), was already in the ranks of the Deputy People's Commissar of Defense and Political Commissar of the Army. Bella, Commander of the Army Group Stromfield. Orel and the German military advisers, Colonel Beck, Captain Rommel, and others, smuggled across the Tisza River and happily drove towards the Carpathians.

The areas they passed through were areas of Hungarian partisan activity, which were forced to deploy large numbers of troops along the road from Transylvania to Budapest because of their frequent guerrilla activities and constant attacks on the Allied logistical lines. As a result, there were no surplus troops to occupy small and medium-sized towns, let alone villages.

Such a deployment greatly facilitated the advance of the Hungarian reserve army. Brigades of dusty Hungarians, wearing German steel helmets, walked for kilometers and kilometers, on foot, on horseback, in carriages. Artillery and a small amount of baggage advanced with them. There are also Hungarian farmers who provide them with food along the way. There was little engagement - only small reconnaissance units and guerrillas responsible for covering the advance of the large force engaged in an exchange of fire with the enemy - until 20 June, when they made a surprise attack and broke through the Volkan Pass, which was not manned by a few Romanians.

The battle to capture the Volkan Pass was unusually easy, and not only were the Romanians overtaken by the measures, but their ability and experience in fighting were not comparable to those of the Hungarians. The Hungarians fought a world war for four years and three months, while the Romanians fought for only four months before the whole country was occupied. Under normal circumstances, the Romanian army was simply unable to defeat the Hungarian army......

……

"They, how dare they! How dare these damn Hungarian Bolsheviks attack Romania, it's incredible, it's incredible, it's incredible......"

The news of the attack on Romania was soon met by Franche, the commander of the Franco-Greek Eastern Expeditionary Force in Bucharest. Despery reported to the Allied Coalition Command. Then Marshal Fuxi personally reported to Clemenceau, who was at Versailles what to do in case the Germans refused the ultimatum.

Clemenceau was shocked by the news and said three times "it's incredible".

"George, what the hell is going on? Isn't it said that the main forces of the Hungarians are concentrated in Budapest? ”

U.S. President Woodrow in the conference room. Wilson asked in a hoarse, tired voice. A few months in Paris were probably the most exhausting and unpleasant days of his life. Originally, I thought it would be a very good idea to go to war, and both the Democratic and Republican bigwigs and think tanks said so. His personal think tank, Colonel Howson, who has a background in Wall Street, also told him: The war will definitely be won, and victory will definitely bring benefits to the United States!

But now the war is won—victory seems a foregone conclusion—but where is the benefit? Why didn't you see it? Instead, it's troublesome to line up one after another to find the door!

After spending months in Europe, every day in the midst of all sorts of troubles, domestic criticism poured in. It is as if he, the president of the United States, has not done anything great for the country, but has caused a lot of trouble.

And today, the ultimatum to Germany and Hungary is about to expire, and the news of the complete surrender of these two countries has not come, but the news that the Hungarian Red Army has entered Romania!

Is this over?

"Mr. President, the battlefield is always shrouded in fog." Fuxi explained with some embarrassment, "We don't know much about the situation of the Hungarian Red Army. It is only known that their soldiers are veterans who came down from the battlefields of the world war, commanded by German military advisers and Russian civil war experts......"

Veterans of world wars, as well as German military advisers and experts on the Russian Civil War! Sounds amazing...... Woodrow. Wilson's head was about to blow up.

"Can the Romanians resist?"

"Can't!" Marshal Fuxi replied with great certainty, "The Romanian army is very weak, it was defeated by the Germans and Hungarians in the world war, it is not vulnerable at all, and their main forces are in Hungary, and the country is very empty, with only a few divisions...... I think we will soon hear about the occupation of Bucharest by the Hungarian Red Army. ”

"What? Will Bucharest fall? "British Prime Minister Lloyd's. George was stunned for a moment, "Can I understand that there will be a Romanian Soviet Republic soon?" ”

Marshal Fuxi nodded, just wanting to pack a ticket to ensure that the Franco-Greek Eastern Expeditionary Force could set foot in Hungary. Lloyd's. Prime Minister George's adjutant came in hurriedly, saluted the British Prime Minister, and then reported in the calmest of tones: "Mr. Prime Minister, the Admiralty Secretary's report: The Germans at Scapa Bay are scuttling their battleship......"

"What? Scuttling a battleship!? "Lloyd's. George stood up suddenly, "What do the Germans want to do?" ”

"What do you want to do?" Clemenceau, who was on the side, shouted, "Isn't that obvious? First the Hungarian Red Army invaded Romania, and now the Germans scuttled warships...... The Germans and the Bolsheviks joined forces! We're going to face a world war again! ”
