Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 73, New Verdun

With Ferdinand's order, the good days of the Kingdom of Romania came to an end.

Of course, King Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen-Ferdinand of Romania certainly didn't think so. Since he took 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 mess with. Especially after the outbreak of the World War, he was declared war before he could react. ..

He was surrounded by the capitalists in Romania. Originally, they wanted to wait for the Allied Powers to win them over so that they could take refuge in the past. Unexpectedly, they even gave them the opportunity and treated them as enemies.

It's not how farsighted they are, it's mainly determined by their geographical location, and they are caught in the middle by Bulgaria and Russia. They don't know whether joining the Allied Powers will win in the end, but Romania will definitely be finished as soon as it joins the Allied Powers.

If they had a choice, they would rather act like ostriches and pretend to be stupid, saying that they had not received the war letter from the Allied Powers.

In fact, they did it too. They sold it to the Allied Powers through various channels, and even linked up with Britain and France.

Ferdinand knew all of this, but he still chose to pretend to be confused and dragged each other down, and everyone was doing it. If Romania is not resolved, how can Bulgaria unify the Balkans?

For the Romanian government, it is good now, and it can be relieved directly. Anyway, winning or losing is in this wave. If you lose, you are all finished.

"How should we fight this war?" the King of Romania asked with a wry smile.

The Minister of the Army said embarrassingly: "Your Majesty, facing the attack of Bulgaria 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! "

The Prime Minister shook his head and said: "The Germans can't quench their thirst now. They are attacking France together with Italy. If we can last for a few months, then there is still hope for the Germans to defeat France before they march eastward." !"

The King of Romania said with great expectation: "What about the Austro-Hungarian Empire? They can't just watch us die!"

Once we are finished, the safety of Hungary will not be guaranteed. Unless the Austro-Hungarian Empire wants to open another front, they will definitely send troops to rescue us! "

The Foreign Minister explained: "Your Majesty, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is probably in danger now. They were suppressed by the Russians on the Eastern Front, and the Balkans were forced to Belgrade by Bulgaria.

Fighting on two fronts at the same time, the Austro-Hungarian Empire does not have many domestic mobile forces. Our national defense security still depends on our own efforts! "

It can only be said that after the death of Carol I, the organizational capacity of the Romanian government dropped a lot.

More importantly, the two enemies are too powerful. The Romanians have been cast into the shadow of the second Balkan war. Naturally, they lack confidence in facing Bulgaria.

Not to mention the Russian Empire, the prestige of the European steamroller has been earned. As his neighbor, Romania is not afraid of it!

...

War is not shifted by individual 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, and fight another defensive battle?

This is a difficult problem for the Romanian government. Now there is no possibility of diplomatic mediation, and the Allies and Entente will surely fall.

Even the way to surrender was blocked by them! There is no way that Bulgaria's attempt to unify the Balkan Peninsula is well known; not to mention the bears, their greed for land is endless!

Meeting these two neighbors, the Romanian government is now crying without tears!

Originally, Bulgaria still paid attention to eating, as Ferdinand, the time traveler, knew,

If the country is not right, the subsequent rule will be very troublesome.

Therefore, when starting a war, always find a high-sounding reason. And they seldom take the lead in provoking wars. Most of the time, they let the enemy fight first and then counterattack, throwing out the scapegoat for starting the war.

If there was no Second Balkan War, Romania would be able to surrender with confidence and boldness, at most it would cede territory.

But now? Bulgaria has found an excuse and clearly announced that it will annex the Balkan Peninsula, and there is only one way before them to die to the end!

The Minister of the Romanian Army suggested embarrassingly: "Your Majesty, now that the Bulgarians and Russians are attacking us at the same time, we may not be able to defend Bucharest with our military strength, so we might as well move the capital~~~"

"No! The impact of abandoning Bucharest is too great, and it will cause a devastating blow to our morale!" Xiang interrupted

From a military point of view, Bucharest is not suitable for defense, not even the plains of Wallachia. Retreating to the mountainous areas in the west is the best choice.

But politically, Bucharest had to defend again!

...

When Romania was struggling with whether to defend Bucharest, Ferdinand made a decision for them, and the Bulgarian army had already rampaged and killed them.

Due to the failure of the Second Balkan War, Romania is now in an extremely unfavorable geographical position, and the Wallachia Plain is a flat plain that cannot be defended.

In addition, the main force of the Bulgarian Air Force is now hovering over Bucharest, but no bombs have been dropped yet, and all they are throwing are leaflets.

In this regard, Ferdinand is still very moral. If it is an attack on a military facility, it can be bombed casually, but when attacking an ordinary city, it is still necessary to be as benevolent as possible.

For example, let's put out leaflets now, telling ordinary people to evacuate Bucharest within 24 hours, and the bombing is coming soon.

In theory, one day is enough for the evacuation of personnel. If you want to transfer wealth, it is impossible.

The performance of the Romanian government did not disappoint Ferdinand. The defenders immediately confiscated the leaflets and perfectly took over the scapegoat.

Undoubtedly, the Propaganda Department will definitely say later that it was the Romanian government that prevented the people from evacuating, which caused the Air Force's misjudgment and caused so many civilian casualties!

Evidence will also be produced to prove that the family members of the top Romanian government have already fled, and the capitalists have also fled. Ordinary people have been used as human shields by the Romanian government to cover their transfer of property.

It doesn't matter whether it's true or not, as long as someone believes it, the Romanians' will to resist will be weakened a lot.

...

When Ferdinand was marching north to Romania, a piece of news shocked him. "The French expressed that they could not withstand the offensives of Germany and Italy. They withdrew from the front line, and they also asked Britain, Bulgaria and Russia for help!"

Still have this kind of operation? Ferdinand was stunned for the first time! Obviously, it is impossible for the French to be so weak. How could they be defeated so quickly with their strength?

But they were indeed retreating, and they were retreating in an orderly manner. The Germans who wanted to take advantage of the fire did not take advantage of it.

"Verdun Meat Grinder"!

Ferdinand immediately thought of the parallel time and space, the famous battle that took place on the Western Front.

"Take out the map of France, take a look at the retreat route of the French, did they retreat to the Verdun area?" Ferdinand asked eagerly

If it is, then there is nothing to worry about, it is nothing more than making this meat grinder war earlier. Anyway, as long as the cruelest war on the Western Front breaks out, Germany and France will be ready to lose!

The Minister of the Army, Mr. Fu, said suspiciously: "Your Majesty, that's right! Judging from the retreat route of the French army, they are indeed retreating towards Verdun.

But the performance of the French is very abnormal. With their strength, they will not give up the current defense line so soon?

According to our judgment, with the current military strength of the French, the Germans will not be able 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? "

Ferdinand seemed to understand that the French were dying to survive. Now the Allies must support the French, otherwise once the Verdun defense line is broken by the Germans, Paris will be over.

Can the French continue the war after losing Paris? No one can answer this question, anyway, everyone dare not bet!

"It's very simple. Just think about the terrible consequences of the French's defeat, and you will know what the French want to do?" Ferdinand said calmly.

It is conceivable that in order to relieve the military pressure of the French, the British must send an expeditionary force, and it is definitely impossible to rely entirely on colonial troops to make up the numbers.

As long as the Russians don't want to fight the Germans, they will also attack the Germans and contain their forces on the Eastern Front.

Even Bulgaria had to make some moves in Italy to contain the strength of the Italians.

The French's adventurous move successfully dragged all countries into the water together, so don't dream about sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. I don't know if this counts as a new round of cheating teammates?

"Your Majesty, what should we do then? Did we follow the French's wishes?" The husband said angrily

Ferdinand smiled slightly and said: "It seems that this problem should not be a headache for us!

Anyway, the French just asked us to contain the Italians, at worst, just contain them!

Let the Air Force drop some leaflets on the Italian cities, tell the Italians that we will bomb their cities and 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, and the air force will bomb it from time to time, so it can probably be explained! "
