"According to our intelligence, the Russians concentrated the forces of two armies in the Galician region, and with the assistance of a large number of heavy artillery units, aviation units, and ground armored units, they launched a centripetal assault in the direction of Lviv. On the back of the two Russian armies, another army began to prepare to attack the Carpathian mountain pass. The Russians had a clear purpose this time to conquer the entire area north of the Carpathian mountain, then defend the mountain 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!&1t;/p>

"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.&1t;/p>

"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!&1t;/p>

"I just said why the Russians suddenly dared to take action. It turned out to be a little helper!" The prince sneered. What do you say about Romania's current reaction? The prince felt that it was unexpected, reasonable, and unexpected, because Romania finally agreed to join the Allies after 1916 after the Russian Southwest Front made a certain breakthrough in the summer battle of 1916. But now, Russia's situation is not good, so why did Romania participate in the war? The prince felt a little puzzled.&1t;/p>

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. It was a nation that wanted to play independence and then build a country, while some independent countries wanted to make big news and continue to grow bigger and stronger. For example, Serbia, in Romania, for example, these two countries became bigger since the First World War...&1t;/p>

Romanians, like Serbs, have a dream of "to make it bigger", and in this regard, there was a serious conflict between Romania and Hungary in the Austro-Hungary Empire. In fact, this conflict occurred in 19oo. The root of the conflict between the two countries lies in Austria's problem of the integration of Romanians in Transylvania in their country. The Hungarians are much more powerful in the assimilation issue than Austrians. Not only does they require local Romanians to use the Hungarian language, but they also reduce the religious autonomy of Orthodox and Greek Orthodox Church, and deny that Romania exists as an independent nation. These policies naturally make Romania, which has the dream of "Great Romania".&1t;/p>

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!&1t;/p>

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, Dobroga, 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)&1t;/p>

"When will Romania declare war?" The prince was very worried about the emergence of this variable. After all, it was directly related to the "food" issue of Germanic tanks, aircraft and warships!&1t;/p>

"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. The Russians may have taken violent measures." The prince added.&1t;/p>

"That's right, it's a threat to Gali temptation! The Russians may have a dual military and political plan for this operation, right?" The prince sneered. Why did the Russians choose to 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 good 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!&1t;/p>

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 6th army originally used in other directions were 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!&1t;/p>

Not to mention that the combat effectiveness of the Austro-Hungarian Legion on this plane has been stronger. The 60,000 troops of the newly emerged Bavarian-Bohemian Legion are enough to make the entire situation change drastically! Although Romania also began to launch four troops of 60,000 troops, this person is different from people!&1t;/p>

"It seems that our plan needs to be changed a little." The prince said to himself.&1t;/p>

"So are you planning to act after Romania surrendered to the Allies, or to stop their surrender?" asked Prince Leopold.&1t;/p>

"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.&1t;/p>

"Then it seems that our attack center has changed? Our original plan is equivalent to fighting on two fronts, and now we are equal to fighting on three fronts!" asked the prince.&1t;/p>
