Romanian Eagle

Chapter 158 Army Commendation

The British newspaper The Times reported on the treaty after the countries signed the treaty in Bucharest. This war in the Balkans was triggered by the uneven division of territorial issues among countries, in which the alliance and the Entente both played different roles.

After commenting on the war, The Times focused on Romania's performance in the war. While all eyes were on the war between Bulgaria and Sehi, Romania, the most powerful country in the Balkans, ended the war. The Battle of Tarnovo caused heavy losses to Bulgaria, known as Balkan Prussia, and could only change the current situation by seeking peace. As for Romania, we just know that this country has a lot of grain and oil, its cars and agricultural machinery are good, and it is well received in European countries.

But it all started eight years ago, when Romanians received a £12.5m industrial aid loan from Germany. This loan marked the beginning of Romania's road to industrialization. Then Romania built a modern petrochemical plant, and also established a car manufacturing industry, with a large number of cars exported to Europe. Until now, the Model T has been considered the most affordable passenger car, and its Dongfeng trucks have also replaced freight wagons in various places, accounting for most of the short-distance transportation industry. Now all countries need to consult their opinions on what needs to be done in the Balkans, because this country has become a topic that cannot be avoided in the Balkans. We have reason to believe that during the confrontation between Austria-Hungary and Russia, Romania was the military police of the Balkan Peninsula, and he was also obliged to ensure that the countries on the peninsula were free from war.

Now the freshly-baked Times is on Edel's desk. For the praise of the Times, Edel smiled and passed. If he really does not know how to accept this title, his head is abnormal. Now that both Austria-Hungary and Russia are there, how can Romania have this ability, unless it is possible to divide the inheritance from these two powers after World War I.

Despite his disdain for this report, Eder still saw the Entente's goodwill towards Romania. It seems that they also feel that Russia is under a little pressure on the Eastern Front alone, and hope to reduce the pressure on Russia. However, Eder, who knows the history of World War I, how could he change his current position just because of this gesture. In a word, the Entente promised Romania the entire Balkan Peninsula, and he would not join the Entente immediately. This is completely because he wants to destroy himself. Not much fortune.

Just when Edel sighed for this, the captain of the guard, Carust, walked in.

"Your Highness, the officers are here."

After hearing the report from the captain of the guards, Edel stood up, tidied up his clothes, and told him. "Then let's go."

In fact, the Romanian army is still retreating from Bulgaria to various domestic stations under the command of General Courtois, Minister of the Army. Of course, a large garrison of troops was temporarily needed in the newly acquired territory to suppress the Bulgarians who had already belonged to Romania, so the General Staff left the 12th and 17th divisions as garrison.

However, the reward for meritorious deeds must be carried out first, and the officers should not feel that their hard work was in vain. Therefore, on the third day after the peace talks, the officers who needed the reward handed over the retreat to their deputies and left their respective units to arrive. Bucharest. Because the old king was in poor health, the crown prince himself was the one who awarded the awards to the meritorious officers this time.

In the hall, the twenty or thirty officers on the award list chatted in their own small circles, among them, Lieutenant General Preshan, the chief of the general staff, had the most officers. They all knew the news that Preshan was going to be promoted to general. However, there are some people with generals on the epaulettes around him who can approach the speech.

On the other side is the current division commander of the 12th Division, Major General Freiette, who also had some officers chatting around him. This time the battle of the 12th Division in Tarnovo was considered a lot of hard work, which also allowed him to add a general star to his epaulettes. .

He is now seen by many as the next rising military boss in the Romanian army, as he is rumored to be taking over as the retiring military education director. This position will bring him a lot of network support, so it will become entirely possible to take over as Chief of the General Staff in the future.

Major Hoffman, who was in an inconspicuous corner, looked at everything in front of him and felt very envious, thinking in his heart that he might be surrounded by the center as the core. It's a bit embarrassing for him to appear here this time. He is now the deputy head of the motor transport regiment, and he was added to the list of awards for his achievements in transporting materials. At present, there are about 400 Dongfeng trucks in a car transport group in Romania, and there are about 1,200 people in a transport group with maintenance and maintenance personnel.

After Major Hoffman was spotted by the crown prince at the military academy, he was first transferred to the crown prince as a captain to investigate, and was sent to the cavalry division as a staff officer to improve his actual combat level. Because there were no armored vehicles in Romania, he was promoted to one level and transferred to the automobile transportation regiment to be the deputy head of the mechanized operation. The result caught up with the war and went to the battlefield with the transport regiment, but it was only transporting ammunition.

I was lucky enough to be on the award list because of my ability. However, the credit for the logistics is a bit indescribable after all. Now all the troops still think that only the credit for killing the enemy is the most glorious, and Major Hoffman is no exception. Facing this, he couldn't explain the credit, so he could only find a corner and watch it quietly.

Just when these officers took advantage of this rare opportunity to get to know each other, Edel brought the chief of guards to the hall where these generals were commended.

"His Royal Highness Edel is here."

With the announcement of the guards, the officers who were still sitting lined up according to their respective positions and merits to wait for the arrival of the crown prince. Among them, Lieutenant General Preshan stood at the forefront, followed by Major General Freiette, and Major Hoffman consciously ranked at the end of the team.

"I have seen Your Highness."

After seeing the crown prince come in, Lieutenant General Pulie Shan led a group of officers to salute Edel neatly. This made Edel look at the neat military salute and feel that his thoughts were not in vain, and he was very satisfied and waved to the group of officers.

Looking at the heroic officers in front of him, Edel also faced them with pride and began to talk about his expectations for them. "You officers who have contributed to Romania, it was your efforts that made the Romanian army perform so well in this war. On behalf of the royal family and the people, I thank you for your efforts to change the way European countries think about the Romanian army. ."

After the crown prince said a short thank you, the Romanian officers present shouted in unison. "All glory to the kingdom for Romania."

After a brief and inspiring opening remarks, the exciting commendation began. The officers present stood still, and Edel started with the head of General Preshan.

Edel stood in front of Pu Lieshan and looked at his confidant who had been with him for nearly ten years. "Lieutenant General Prieshan is now awarded the rank of general because of his perfect leadership and planning of the war against Bulgaria, and he personally led the First Army in the war with outstanding performance."

Edel first took off the lieutenant-general's epaulet of General Preshan, and then took the pair of three-star epaulets representing the rank of general from the tray in the guard's hand and put it on him.

The crown prince held Pu Lishan's hand and said. "Congratulations to Admiral Puleshan."

Glancing at the rank of admiral that he was thinking about, Chief of Staff Pu Lieshan said a little excitedly. "For the kingdom."

After finishing his promotion to Preshan, Edel walked up to Major General Freyte beside him. It was still the captain of the guard behind him who loudly read out the reason for the promotion. "Major General Fereit made an irreplaceable contribution to annihilating the main force and defeating the Bulgarian army in the decisive Battle of Tarnovo with Bulgaria, so he was promoted to lieutenant general."

Edel took off the one-star epaulette of Major General Freiette and put on it the two-star epaulet representing the lieutenant general. "Congratulations to Lieutenant General Fleet."

Looking at the two-star lieutenant general on the same shoulder, Lieutenant General Fereit was no better than Preshan, and he said excitedly. "For the kingdom."

Later, Eder successively awarded promotion awards to other meritorious personnel, but not every officer could be promoted, only half of them were promoted on the spot, and the rest were only available for various medals. Although these officers only have medals, they still look happy, because they can be personally commended by the crown prince, which means that the promotion is in sight, but it is not worth the crown prince to wear the military rank in person.

When the award was about to be completed, Edel finally walked up to the last Major Hoffman. He glanced at Major Hoffman who had been by his side, and picked up a crown medal and put it on him. Standing behind the crown prince, the head guard of Carust continued to read the reason for obtaining it. "Major Hoffman in this war, in order to ensure the transportation of the materials used, arrange the transportation tasks reasonably, and fully guarantee the ammunition supply of the front line, for which he won a crown medal."

"Congratulations, Major Hoffman."

Despite not being promoted, Major Hoffman said with satisfaction. "For the kingdom."

This time, one person was promoted to general, one was promoted to lieutenant general, two were promoted to major general, five others were promoted to colonel, and three were promoted to lieutenant colonel. The remaining officers were awarded various medals, and Edel took a group photo with them after the awards. Later, someone took the photo of this group photo. Three of them became marshals, two became generals, five became lieutenants, and four became major generals. They all led the Romanian army to fight bloody battles for the country in World War I and World War II.
