"According to our intelligence, the Russians concentrated the forces of two armies in the Galician region, and launched a centripetal assault in the direction of Lviv with the assistance of a large number of heavy artillery units, aviation units, and ground armored units. On the back of the two Russian armies, another army began to prepare to attack the Carpathian pass. The Russians' purpose this time was very clear to conquer the entire area north of the Carpathian mountain, then defend the pass, block our attack path, and then draw out their troops to fight to the death with us in the Polish region." In front of a huge sand table, Prince Leopold introduced the latest situation to the yawning prince!

"This is not the worst. According to the news from our intelligence personnel in Romania, the attitude of the Romanian king seems to have changed. The amount of crude oil exported to us has been decreasing recently..." The prince paused and said with some concern.

"Well, um?!" Hearing the next sentence, the prince immediately lost his sleep! "Damn! This matter is not a joke!" The reason why Germany and Austria can maintain the connection between Turkey's middle eastern region is based on Romania's neutrality and Bulgaria stands on the side of the allies. If Romania chooses to surrender to the Allies, then it will be a small matter without the oil supply from the Romanian oil fields, and cutting off the ties between Germany and Austria and Turkey is the biggest problem!

"I just said why the Russians suddenly dared to take action. It turned out to be a little helper!" The prince sneered. How do you say about Romania's current reaction? The prince felt that it was unexpected, reasonable, or unexpected, because Romania joined the Allies in history after 1916. After the Russian Southwest Front made a certain breakthrough in the summer battle of 1916, Romania finally agreed to join the war. But now, Russia's situation is not good, so why did Romania participate in the war? The prince felt a little puzzled.

As for the reason, it is actually easy to understand, only interests! The late 19th and early 20th century was an era of national thoughts flooding. It was a nation that wanted to play independence and then build a country, while some countries that were already independent wanted to make big news and continue to become bigger and stronger. For example, Serbia, in Romania, for example, these two countries became bigger since the First World War...

Romanians, like Serbs, have a dream of "to make it bigger". In this regard, there was a serious conflict between Romania and Hungary in the Austro-Hungary Empire. In fact, this conflict occurred in 1900. The root cause of the conflict between the two countries is that Austria is much more powerful than Austrians on the issue of assimilation. Not only does it require the local Romanians to use the Hungarian language, but it also reduces the religious autonomy of Orthodox and Greek Orthodox Church, and denies that Romania exists as an independent nation. These policies naturally make Romania, which has a dream of "Great Romania".

Although the Romanian kings belonged to the Hohenzollern family, the German emperor was the Frankenstein family, and the Romanian emperor was the Swabian family. Moreover, Romania was still relatively close to the allies at the beginning. However, in the face of territorial and national interests, this relationship was actually unreliable. Therefore, as long as the war was delayed for a long time, it was very likely that Romania would join the Allies. But unexpectedly, this sign came so early!

In history, Romania did bet right. After the war, Romania gained a lot of benefits from the collapsed Russia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and obtained vast territories including Bukovina, Transylvania, Dobrokar, Bisarabia, so that the territory of Romania at its peak was as high as 295,649 square kilometers, and the territory area more than doubled, which was much larger than that of later Romania! (The area of ​​later generations was only 238,391 square kilometers)

"When will Romania declare war?" The prince was very worried about the emergence of this variable. After all, this was directly related to the "food ration" of Germanic tanks, aircraft and warships!

"This is not clear. Moreover, information from many aspects shows that the Romanian court and government did not seem to have made a final decision, but an external force is affecting the decision, and the Russians may have taken violent measures." The prince added.

"That's right, it's a threat to Gali and temptation! The Russians may have a dual plan in military and political terms in this operation, right?" the prince sneered. Why did the Russians choose to launch an attack in Galicia? In addition to being unable to defeat the prince in Poland, another important reason is probably to kill the chicken and show the monkey. Let Romania realize that it is very beneficial to stand on its side, and then support one card to play another faction! Trapped Romania in a chariot. If this plan really works, then the Austro-Hungarian Empire may have to add another front!

If Romania joined the war, it was a good or a bad thing for the prince? If it was in history, it might not be a good thing, because although the German and Austrian armies took four months to capture most of Romania, unfortunately, the most important oil field was destroyed and could not be repaired, and the army originally used in other directions was also dispersed. This is a big problem for the allies with a general disadvantage in military strength. But this plane is different. Romania is still the same Romania, but the Eastern Front is not the original Eastern Front!

Not to mention that the combat effectiveness of the Austro-Hungarian Legion on this plane is still stronger. The 600,000 troops of the newly emerged Bavarian-Bohemian Legion are enough to make the entire situation change drastically! Although Romania also launched four troops of 600,000 troops, this person is different from a human!

"It seems that our plan needs to be changed a little bit." The prince said to himself.

"So are you planning to act after Romania surrendered to the Allies, or to stop their surrender?" asked Prince Leopold.

"Of course it's the latter. Uncle, do you know how expensive oil is in Romania now?" the prince said. "As long as Romania dares to stand on the side of the Allies, I promise that we can solve this problem in as many as two months or as few as 40 days." The prince said.
