Romanian Eagle

The Soviet Union's large-scale deployment of troops was completely hidden from Romania's sight.

In fact, since Eder's plan to annex Western Ukraine, intelligence work on Soviet Russia has become the top priority of Romania's intelligence services, and its priority has been higher than that of Britain, France, and the United States. Therefore, when the Southern Front began to behave abnormally, the news that Soviet Russia might be planning to start a war was sent back to the country.

After all, the Romanian intelligence services have been deeply cultivating in Russia for many years. Even if Soviet Russia came to power, its hidden intelligence personnel could not be eliminated.

Faced with the news that the Soviet Union and Russia might start a war from the intelligence department, Edel replied after reading it, I know.

Edel was already prepared for Soviet Russia's intention to provoke war. After all, the deep-rooted greed of the Russians cannot be changed by changing the regime. And this is the time of the Soviet Russian army, Romania is not afraid at all.

Now the Soviet-Russian army is not the steel torrent that made the whole of Europe tremble with fear.

Now the Soviet-Russian division-level troops generally have 10,000 to 15,000 people, and the machine gun configuration is only between 130-160. In the configuration of its main cannons to suppress firepower, there are only 40-50 cannons, basically 76.2mm and 57mm caliber mountain artillery.

It is rude to say that the weapons and equipment of the Soviet Russian army have declined in technical equipment such as artillery and machine guns compared with the Tsarist Russia period.

However, the morale of the army was much higher than that of the Tsarist period. And when morale is high, when the gap between weapons and equipment is not too big, it often has the upper hand. This is also the White Guards mainly composed of the Russian army, which is why they have repeatedly failed to defeat the Red Army of the Soviet Union.

However, the Soviet-Russian Red Army can only fight the White Guards, which is completely incomparable compared with the Romanian army.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the main enemy of the Soviet-Russian Red Army is the White Guards, and the inaction of the Allied Intervention Army. After all, I have seen the strength of the British and French troops (not working hard), so I am afraid that they are far inferior to the Romanians in Britain and France.

While Soviet Russia was preparing to provoke this war, the Romanians were not idle either.

Since the annexation of Western Ukraine, the Romanian military has concentrated its forces in Ukraine. Various troops have moved into Ukraine from their previous positions.

In addition, Major General Salda and Captain Carust, who were purchasing arms in Germany, are also purchasing a large amount of arms. Weapons and ammunition from warehouse to warehouse were loaded onto trains by German stevedores and transported to Romania.

Britain, France and other countries have given the green light to Romania’s purchases in Germany.

As long as Romania takes a fancy to the weapons, they will immediately request the German side to ship them. So much so that the loading and unloading workers couldn't carry it for a while, and a large number of arms were piled up at the railway station.

After learning about this situation, Britain and France even hired other Germans to carry it out of their own pockets. In addition, the British and French sides also expressed their position to Major General Salda and Carrust in Germany, if there are not enough trains to be transported, they are even willing to urgently transfer wagons to help them transport them.

It seems to them that they are transporting these arms to Romania, it seems that they are more Romanian than Salda and Calust.

Therefore, with the unremitting efforts of Britain and France, in one month, more than 700 lefh18 and k16 artillery pieces, 200,000 g98 rifles, 3,000 g08 heavy machine guns, 200,000 tons of ammunition, and 20,000 tons of other substances, was shipped to Romania.

As a result, the trains transporting arms have seriously affected the normal train operation of the countries along the way, greatly weakening the travel of its people and the transportation of materials. However, in the face of Britain, France and Romania, these countries also dare not speak out.

After these weapons and equipment were transported to Romania, they were quickly transported to the western Ukrainian front.

So much so that the General Staff racked their brains in order to find enough technical soldiers to use them. In addition to the deployment of artillery personnel from various units, non-artillery soldiers and officers who have used artillery are immediately transferred to the artillery unit to form a new establishment.

Therefore, in just one month, in addition to the sharp expansion of the division-level artillery establishment (from 72 artillery pieces to 108, adding a Lefh18 105 howitzer battalion), Romania also added 3 independent artillery brigades (one brigade equipped with 108 artillery pieces). lefh18 type 105 howitzer) and three heavy artillery regiments (one regiment equipped with 54 k16 long-range cannons).

The machine guns have also increased from 156 to 238 per division (mainly by assigning the newly added heavy machine guns to the company, and each company adding two heavy machine guns). In addition, there are also materials such as engineer shovels, field telephones, raincoats, tents, etc., which are also added.

While Romania was busy preparing, the Western Front Army (whose name has been changed), who played on behalf of Soviet Russia this time, finally completed the handover with the Southeast Front Army.

"Take care, Comrades Belakuen and Gusev. I wish you an early eradication of Denikin's white bandit army."

At the time of parting, Yegorov, commander of the Western Front, and Stalin, the political commissar, were saying goodbye to Gusev, the commander of the southeastern front, and Berakun, the political commissar.

"Take care of you too, Comrade Stalin and Yegorov. I wish you an early defeat of the Romanians, our Southeastern Front will cheer for it."

Stalin and Yegorov waved goodbye to Belakun and Gusev and got into the car. Under the escort of soldiers, we drove to Kyiv.

Bella Kun greeted Gusev and said, "Okay, then we will face Denikin alone."

"We're not afraid of him either. If we can drive him from near Moscow to the Crimea, we can drive him into the sea."

"You're still so optimistic."

"It's the confidence of a Bushelvik."

"Hahaha"

Stalin and Yegorov, who left by car, were also talking, but they were talking about the information of the Western Front.

Stalin, who was sitting in the car, said to Yegorov next to him: "The 14th Army has arrived in Kyiv."

"We're more at ease now, at least we don't have to worry about Kyiv being raided by the Romanians."

Stalin added new news: "The 2nd Cavalry Army has set off from Kukssk and is expected to arrive in ten days. In addition, the 9th Army sent a telegram saying that it encountered an encounter when passing through Mozili in the Belarusian region. In the blizzard weather, the slow movement of the troops may not catch up with the scheduled time."

After hearing that the 9th Army couldn't keep up with the time, Yegorov scolded: "This damn weather."

"Comrade Stalin, let me know if you have any other news."

Facing Yegorov's question, Stalin shook his head and said, "That's all we have at the moment, but it's the news of our opponent Romanians."

"tell me the story."

It seems that Yegorov is also very concerned about the situation of his opponents.

"According to our knowledge, Romania has purchased a large number of arms from Germany. There are hundreds of artillery pieces, all of which are above 100 mm caliber. According to the analysis, they are the latest German lefh18 105 howitzers and K16 Krupp 150. Cannons. Plus a lot of stuff like machine guns and ammunition."

"It's not going to be a good fight. These bloody imperialists will be wiped out by the proletariat sooner or later."

Hearing Stalin's information, Yegorov felt a headache. These weapons and equipment will greatly threaten the safety of the soldiers of the Red Army, but there is nothing they can do. Maybe there is a way.

Egorov, who came up with the idea, said: "We can't let the Romanians send these arms safely to the front line, which is irresponsible to the soldiers. Can we, like other countries, encourage their workers to strike to support us. "

After listening to the suggestion given by Yegorov, Stalin shook his head and said: "The Central Committee has considered this before, but according to the information sent by our Romanian comrades. The domestic stubborn forces are very strong, and even they We cannot directly use the banner of the Communist Party for propaganda. And because there are too many reactionary remarks in domestic public opinion, the deceived ordinary people are very hostile to us.”

Stalin's words shattered Yegorov's idea of ​​​​destructing through internal destruction. It seems that only the battlefield witnesses strength.
