Romanian Eagle

Chapter 60: The Crisis Ends

After receiving Edel's reply, the German ambassador quickly sent the Romanian decision back to Berlin in an encrypted message.

After hearing that Romania was willing to act with the Allies in this crisis. Kaiser Wilhelm II was very happy to talk to his chief of staff, Jr. Moltke. "I knew the Hohenzollern family was united, and Romania did not disappoint us this time."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will ask the staff to make a plan to fight on the Eastern Front after Romania joins the alliance, which can avoid our lack of preparation." Little Mao Qi was also very happy to be able to pull Romania into the chariot.

After all, Romania has a very good army, and has the food and oil that Germany needs. In addition, the current industry is also good. Volkswagen has the largest automobile production plant in Europe, which can provide Germany with transportation tools.

Just when the Kaiser was satisfied with Romania's participation in the military operation, Eder also brought in the chief of the general staff, Pleisan, and asked him to prepare an emergency plan for the whole army maneuver exercise.

"His Royal Highness, I don't know what the content of this exercise is?" Preshan asked.

"The content of this exercise is that Russia suddenly attacked, and our army rushed to the battlefield to prepare to repel the opponent." Eder thought of doing a play and made a full set, so that Germany could see Romania's strength.

"His Royal Highness, I will go back to the staff to prepare for three days. We will start the exercise on the fifth day, and strive to arrive at the designated location one week after the exercise starts." Preshan also prepared according to the wartime, and he also wanted to see the reorganized army. , in the end what is the whole army maneuvering.

After returning to the General Staff, Previn arranged for his staff to make plans for the exercise overnight. After nearly three days of rushing, the plan was finally reported to Previn. After seeing the staff officer who was about to stand unsteadily in front of him, Previn ordered the plan to be sent to each division command. And asked them to start taking action on the third day after receiving this order. Each unit is divided into divisions and moves forward according to the established goals.

After receiving the telegram from the General Staff, the various division-level headquarters also jumped. Each division is issuing orders for the marching line to its subordinate units. After layer-by-layer communication, the content of the marching line of each unit in the final exercise is conveyed to the company level.

"Tor Lei, haven't you prepared your luggage yet? Tomorrow you will be marching for six consecutive days." In the barracks of the Romanian 3rd Division, De Vasily told To Lei, who was in the same village as him.

"Okay Devasily, I've known it for a long time, I'm just sad that I can't see Jimmy." Thorle told his friend about his feelings.

Devasily knew a month ago that his friend was dating a girl named Jimina. Every Sunday off, Thorle would go to tryst with the girl. Now the emergency exercise made it impossible for him to do this anymore, which of course made Thor Lei, who was in love, quite dissatisfied.

"If you don't prepare again, be careful that Squad Leader Bilek will beat you up when he sees it." Devasily warned his friend.

Their squad leader Bilek is the best player in the whole company, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that their strong squad leader has always believed in the fist theory. If he doesn't obey, he will beat him with his fist. If he fails to complete the task, he will beat him with his fist. If he makes a mistake, he will beat him with his fist. Even their platoon commander had been beaten by him. If the company commander hadn't liked him very much, he would have been kicked out of the army long ago. Behind the scenes, everyone called him 'Boom Bear', and the whole class was obediently beaten by him with his fists.

It's really a good and not a bad spirit. As soon as Devasili's voice fell, Bilek's sturdy body appeared in front of them.

Billek stared at his bear eyes and found that Thor le was not ready to pack, so he walked over and roared loudly at Thor le. "Tor Le, why are you not ready yet? I don't know if you are going to leave early tomorrow morning. Are you itchy again?"

With the roar of this violent bear, saliva was sprayed on Thor Lei's face, and his legs were shaking with fright.

"Class~ Squad leader, I~ I will do it right away." Thor stammered to explain to the squad leader.

After hearing Thorle's explanation, Bilek smiled at him and walked to his side, reaching out and patting him on the shoulder. "I'll give you time"

Seeing his squad leader showing this expression next to Devasili means that someone is going to be unlucky.

The next day, Thorle appeared in the parade with a bruised face and a pig's head. A group of soldiers faced the majesty of the 'violent bear', and they all wanted to laugh and didn't dare to laugh hard.

"Toorle, are you all right now?" asked Devasily, a fellow countryman and friend.

"It was a little sore last night, but it's much better now." Toller's novel responded to Devasily's concerned inquiry.

"Okay, now pack your bags and prepare to go." Billek the 'Beast' told them.

A group of people organized their own lines, checked and checked their equipment. Under the leadership of Bilek, they lined up neatly and began to set off to their destination, a small town called Tomesti outside the city of Iasi.

Threat notes from Germany have been negotiated in Russia for some time. The reason for the delay in negotiating is that Foreign Minister Izvolsky and the military believe that Germany and Austria's unreasonable requests should be rejected. However, the government department believes that Russia has not fully recovered, and it is still a problem how much courage France has to declare war on Germany and Austria when Russia faces war, so it believes that it should retreat.

Nicholas II was not a very decisive person, and he was unable to make up his mind in the face of disputes between the two groups. Now with the passage of time, both sides feel that there can be no more quarrel and a decision must be made as soon as possible. Now they are doing the final negotiation, and the following people cannot follow because there is no decision.

"We can't give up our support for Serbia now. This is a disaster for the empire's influence in the Balkans." Foreign Minister Izvolski was the first to say, not just for the country but for himself.

"We almost went bankrupt in Japan. Now our economy has just eased. Now facing Germany and Austria, our finances will definitely go bankrupt." The Minister of Finance analyzed the impact of a war on Russia from an economic perspective.

"Do you think the army can win in the White Hair War?" Nicholas II asked the army representative, Gilinsky.

"Your Majesty, if war breaks out, we will do our best to protect Russia."

Seeing the military's remarks suggesting that it can't be beaten now, Foreign Minister Izvolsky said a little anxiously. "We also have an ally, France, who won't just watch us be attacked."

"But France can't fight for Russia either," said another senior government official.

Just when the important ministers were arguing, a young official broke in and handed a telegram to Chancellor Stolypin. Stolypin took a look at the telegram and walked to Nicholas II. mentioned before. "I just got the news that the Romanians have started military exercises on our adjacent border. I believe this should be some kind of agreement with Germany and Austria."

The important ministers who were negotiating were stunned when they heard the sudden news. It was not that they were afraid of Romania, but they did not expect Romania to join the Bosnia and Herzegovina crisis at this time. Now with Romania joining in, Russia is even more at a disadvantage in military comparison.

"The situation is not good for us now, and I think we need to make concessions." Prime Minister Stolypin expressed his opinion.

"But we can't give up Serbia because of a small Romania." Foreign Minister Izvolski was doing his last struggle.

"The current Romanian army is no different from the German army. The morale is worse. Now Germany and Austria have added 200,000 troops. Now it is obvious that they can't win. Can't you see clearly." Stolypin retorted the foreign minister speech.

"Okay." Nicholas II signaled that he had made a decision in the dispute between the important officials. As the Tsar's voice fell, everyone quieted down and waited for his decision.

"Sending a message to Germany, we recognize Austria-Hungary's sovereignty over Bosnia and Herzegovina, and at the same time will persuade Serbia to exercise restraint on the Bosnian issue." Nicholas II said to the important ministers very unwillingly.

After the Tsar had made his decision, the telegram was sent to Germany and Austria, both of whom, in the face of Russia's retreat, saw it as a major victory that would combat Russia's Balkan ambitions.

In Serbia, faced with Russia's dissuasion of its mobilization to abandon the anti-Austrian war, and to stop all anti-Austrian actions, I felt extremely unwilling. In the telegram, Russia also stated its difficulties. Faced with such a situation, Serbia had no choice but to declare that the protest was canceled, and a crisis that almost led to war has subsided.
