Vol 4 Chapter 73: Verdun

With the order of Ferdinand, the good days of the Kingdom of Romania are over.
Of course, the King of Romania Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen-Ferdinand certainly did not think so. Since he became the throne, he has never had a good day.
None of the three neighbors, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Russian Empire, and the Kingdom of Bulgaria, was easy to provoke, especially after the outbreak of the World War, he was declared war before he could react. ..
He was also trapped by the capitalists in Romania. Originally, they wanted to wait for the Allied Powers to draw in so that they could take refuge in the past, but they did not expect that they would even be given the opportunity to treat them as enemies.
It's not their vision, it's mainly determined by their geographical location, and they are sandwiched between Russia and Russia. They don’t know if they can join the Allied Powers in the end, but Romania will surely be over as soon as they join the Allied Powers.
If they had a choice, they would rather act as ostriches and pretend to be stupid, indicating that they did not receive the Allied Powers.
In fact, they did it too. They sold well to the Allied countries through various channels, and even had associations with Britain and France, but there was no use. Only the two countries had the right to speak in the Black Sea region!
These Ferdinands all knew, but he chose to pretend to be confused and pull each other back, everyone was doing it. If Romania is not dealt with, how can Bulgaria dominate the Balkans?
As far as the Romanian government is concerned, it’s good now, and it can be directly relieved. Anyway, the winning or losing is in this wave. If you lose, it will be over. If you win, there will be another wave.
"Everyone, how should we fight this war?" The Romanian king asked with a wry smile
The Minister of the 6th Army said embarrassingly: "Your Majesty, facing the offensive of Russia and Russia at the same time, let alone us, even the Austro-Hungarian Empire can't hold it!
Judging from the current situation, we can only rely on the Germans. If Germany is willing to send reinforcements, this war can still be fought, otherwise we may not last long! "
He shook his head and said: "The Germans can't quench their near thirst now. They are attacking France with Italy. If we can last a few months, there is still hope that the Germans will defeat France and then move eastward. !"
The Romanian king said expectantly: "What about the Austro-Hungarian Empire? They can't watch us die!
Once we are finished, the safety of Hungary will not be guaranteed. Unless the Austro-Hungarian Empire wants to open up another front, they will definitely send troops to rescue us! "
The Minister of Foreign Affairs explained: "Your Majesty, the Austro-Hungarian Empire may be unable to protect itself now. They were crushed and beaten by the Russians on the Eastern Front, and the Balkans were forced to Belgrade by Bulgaria.
At the same time fighting on two fronts, the Austro-Hungarian Empire now has few domestic mobile forces. Our national defense and security must rely on our own efforts! "
It can only be said that after the death of Carol I, the organizational capacity of the Romanian government has dropped a lot.
More importantly, the two enemies are too powerful. The Romanians in the Second Balkan War have been cast a shadow of their hearts. Facing Bulgaria is naturally lacking in confidence.
Not to mention the Russian Empire. The prestige of the European road rollers was created. As his neighbor, Romania is not afraid.
...
The war is not transferred by personal will, no matter how reluctant they are, the enemy has already fought.
If the front line cannot be defended, the Bulgarian army will soon come to Bucharest for the second time. It will be a defensive battle again?
This is a difficult problem for the Romanian government. Now there is no possibility of diplomatic mediation. The Allies and Allies must fall.
Even the road to surrender was blocked for them! There is no way for Bulgaria to attempt to unify the Balkans. It is already well known; let alone the bears, their greed for the land is endless!
Encountering these two neighbors, the Romanian government is now crying without tears!
Originally, Bulgaria still pays attention to food. As a traverser, Ferdinand knows that it will be very troublesome if the country is not properly governed.
Therefore, when there is a war, one must always find a good-sounding reason. In addition, they rarely start wars first. Most of the time, they let the enemy move first and then counterattack, throwing out the black pot of war.
Without the Second Balkan War, Romania could safely surrender and cede territories at best.
But now? Bulgaria has found an excuse and has clearly announced that it will annex the Balkan Peninsula. There is only one way to die before them!
The Romanian Minister of the Sixth Army said embarrassingly: "Your Majesty, the Bulgarians and Russians are now attacking us at the same time. With our military strength, I am afraid that Bucharest cannot be held. It is better to move the capital~~~"
"No! The impact of abandoning Bucharest is really too great, it will have a devastating blow to our people's morale!" Xiang interrupted
From a military point of view, Bucharest is not suitable for defense, and even the Wallachia plains are not suitable. Retreating to the mountainous areas in the west is the best choice.
But politically, Bucharest has to defend!
...
When Romania was struggling to defend Bucharest, Ferdinand made the decision for them, and the Bulgarian army had already killed off in a rampage.
Due to the failure of the Second Balkan War, Romania is now in an extremely disadvantaged position in terms of geographical advantages, and the Wallachia Plain is unsafe to defend.
In addition, the main force of the Bulgarian Air Force is now hovering over Bucharest, but has not dropped any bombs, and now all fliers are thrown.
In this regard, Ferdinand is still very disciplined. If it is attacking military installations, it can be bombed at will, but when attacking ordinary cities, it is still necessary to do everything possible.
For example, we will release flyers now, telling ordinary people to evacuate Bucharest within 24 hours, and the bombing is coming soon.
In theory, it is just the evacuation of personnel. One day is enough. If you want to transfer wealth, it is impossible.
The performance of the Romanian government did not disappoint Ferdinand, and the defenders confiscated the flyers in the first place, which perfectly took over the scapegoat.
There is no doubt that the Propaganda Department will definitely say that the Romanian government prevented the people from evacuation, which caused the air force's misjudgment and caused so many civilian casualties!
Evidence will also be presented to prove that the family members of the top level of the Romanian government have ran away, the capitalists have also ran away, and ordinary people are used as a shield by the Romanian government to cover their transfer of property.
It does not matter whether it is true or not. As long as someone believes it, the resistance of the Romanians will be weakened a lot.
...
Just as Ferdinand moved north to Romania, he was stunned by the news. "The French said they could not withstand the offensives of Germany and Italy. They retreated from the front and asked for help from Britain, Russia, Russia!"
Is there such an operation? Ferdinand was stunned for the first time! Obviously, the French cannot be so fragile, how can they be defeated so quickly with their strength?
But they did retreat, and it was an orderly retreat. Germans who wanted to take advantage of the fire did not take advantage of it.
"Verdun Meat Grinder"!
Ferdinand first thought of parallel time and space, the famous battle that was born on the Western Front.
"Take out the map of France, can you take a look at the French retreat route, did you evacuate to the Verdun area?" Ferdinand asked eagerly
If it is, then there is nothing to worry about, it is nothing more than to make this meat grinder war even more advanced. Anyway, as long as the cruelest war on the Western Front is fought, Germany and France are ready to lose both!
The Minister of the 6th Army said doubtfully: "Your Majesty, that's right! Judging from the French retreat route, they are indeed retreating to Verdun.
But the performance of the French is very abnormal. With their strength, it is not enough to give up the current line of defense so soon?
According to our judgment, the current military strength of the French will not allow the Germans to break through their defenses for at least half a year!
But what the French are doing now is very confusing. They actually lost the line of defense directly at UU reading www.uukanshu.com? "
Ferdinand seemed to understand that the French were dying and reborn. Now the Allies must support the French, otherwise, once the Verdun line of defense is broken by the Germans, Paris will be over.
Can the French continue the war after losing Paris? No one can answer this question, no one dare to bet anyway!
"It's very simple. Just think about the terrible consequences of the French defeat, and you know what the French want to do?" Ferdinand said calmly.
It is conceivable that in order to alleviate the military pressure on the French, the British will inevitably send out expeditionary forces. It is definitely not enough to rely solely on colonial forces to make up the number.
As long as the Russians didn't want to stand up against the Germans, they would attack the Germans and contain their forces on the Eastern Front.
Even Bulgaria had to make some moves in Italy to contain the Italian forces.
The Frenchman’s adventurous actions successfully dragged all countries into the water. Don’t dream of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. Don't know if this is a new round of pit teammates?
"Your Majesty, then what should we do? Did it follow the French's wishes?" the husband said angrily
Ferdinand smiled slightly and said: "This problem doesn't seem to be a headache for us!
Anyway, the French only asked us to contain the Italians. If it is a big deal, we can contain them!
Let the Air Force throw some flyers to the Italian cities, tell the Italians that we will bomb their city ports from time to time, and let them organize the evacuation of the people.
Later, the navy will use the Italian port as our target training ground. The air force will bombard it from time to time. It can probably be explained! "
