"My chief of staff, you won't come to ask for more money for the war?"

Admiral Priest just stepped through the door when he heard Edel's words. This made him stunned for a moment, but he reacted immediately and replied, "Your Majesty, if you can ask the government to allocate more funds to us, of course I am very happy."

Edel heard the words of the chief of the general staff and said with a smile: "This is unlikely."

Preshan thought of the Prime Minister Bretianu and the Minister of Finance he met on the road, and he understood a little. Mostly the prime minister beat the autumn wind from the king, which made the king feel a little resentful. He also knew something, and heard that the intelligence services had made a fortune from Russia. With the Prime Minister's character, it would be strange not to come to play the autumn wind. Recently, there has been some rumors in the government, and the Prime Minister is almost unable to sleep because of the funding issue.

But that doesn't matter to him. At present, he is already busy enough with the war, and he has no time to care about the government's problems. This is the prime minister's job.

Hearing that it wasn't about money, Edel calmed down and asked, "What's the matter this time?"

In the face of the king's question, Admiral Puleshan replied: "It's about preparing for the Hungarian campaign."

Preshan was a little afraid that Edel would not understand, and continued to explain: "At present, we have driven the Allied troops out of the country, and now the Allied countries require us to continue to attack the Austro-Hungarian Empire. And this also meets our needs, so I will Prepared this battle plan."

After finishing speaking, Preshan took out a document from his body and put it in front of Edel.

Edel also knew what Admiral Pleishan said. The main reason for this was the last wave of offensives made by Germany and Austria in order to avoid the defeat of the war.

In January of this year (two months earlier than the original history, this is because the Soviet Union signed a peace treaty with Germany and Austria earlier), Germany was mobilizing the elites from the east to the west, planning to make the last Wave's efforts. And because of this, Austria-Hungary launched a new wave of offensive that did not exist in the original time and space.

Among them, the Austro-Hungarian army, under the planning of its emperor Karl I, launched an attack on Italy with an advantage of 800,000 troops. It successively won the Piave River, Udine and other places, and its front has been hit in Venice.

In order to preserve this important city, the British, French and Italian fleets broke through the minefields laid by the Adriatic Navy in the Adriatic Sea at the cost of the loss of five cruisers and three former dreadnoughts. The Austro-Hungarian navy, in the face of the Allied combined fleet, which had an absolute advantage, did not dare to leave the port to intercept it. As for the army, in the face of the desperate struggle of the Austro-Hungarian army, Britain and France urgently reinforced eight divisions to Italy. And the Italian Army is also rare to show the bleeding side,

Concentrated most of the domestic troops in this battle with Austria-Hungary. In the end, facing the combination of land and sea, Austria-Hungary failed to capture the water city of Venice.

And the spring offensive launched by the Germans was planned by Ludendorff in January. Using the infiltrating assault tactics that had flourished on the Eastern Front, they attacked the defending British forces along the Somme. Its main purpose is still to seize the French capital Paris, to force its surrender. In fact, Germany's attack on Britain and France had been prepared for a long time, but the use of its new tactics was unexpected. During the three-month spring offensive (shorter than in history), Britain and France were pushed by the German army 60 kilometers at the cost of more than 200,000 casualties, and finally prevented the German army from fulfilling its strategic purpose.

Encountering De Ao's desperate struggles one after another, Britain, France and Italy desperately wanted to put pressure on De Ao. On the Western Front, 300,000 American troops have arrived in France, and 60,000 people can be transported from the country to France every month (because the losses of Britain and France are greater than in history, the United States has accelerated the transportation of troops, which is 10,000 more than in history.) .

After negotiating between France and Washington, these American soldiers were directly arranged to feel the breath of war on the front line, and they will also participate in the next counterattack against Germany.

As for Austria-Hungary, due to the heavy casualties of the Italians, the counterattack against Austria-Hungary can only be found in other directions. Romania, who has been doing well so far, is their target. Therefore, after Admiral Courtois regained lost ground, the Allies immediately asked Romania to launch an offensive against Austria-Hungary to contain its forces.

The requirements of the Allied Powers are also in line with Romania's next operational goals, as well as Edel's goals, and he has no reason to disagree. In his view, the most insecure territory promised to Romania after World War I was from the Transylvanian border to the Tisza River.

In the original time and space, it may be to compensate Romania for being beaten too badly by the Allies, or to guard against the Soviet Union, so the Allied Powers assigned Biher and Timis in this territory to Romania. In this time and space, Romania participated in the war for a short time, plus it made a lot of war money, and most importantly, it was much stronger than in history. It is no longer necessary to supplement the strength too much, and it can serve the purpose of blocking the penetration of Soviet Russia. Therefore, Edel believes that to avoid nightmares, it is necessary to win this area first in the war.

This can also leave enough room for Romania to operate. Whether it is for the referendum to be hidden in the future, or to make things difficult for others on the issue of dividing the spoils, it is necessary to lay a solid foundation in advance. Moreover, there are too many Hungarians in this area. If they do not take advantage of the war to expel some of them, it will inevitably leave right and wrong or hidden dangers in the future.

In Eder's view, Romania, which had acquired new territories after the war, would become a multi-ethnic country. In addition to Romanians, there will also be Poles, Ukrainians, Germans, Hungarians, Bulgarians and so on. Among them, the Hungarians who stayed in Romania will become an intractable hidden danger due to historical reasons.

As for the Poles, Eder intends to discuss with the future Polish government to bring back his people who are willing to live in Poland. It is believed that with the Poles' identification with the new country, there will be a large number of people living in this country.

And the Ukrainians are not so lucky. This nation awakens the nation that has been suppressed, and then continues to be suppressed. Moreover, Eder has already considered a strategy to divide them, first adding sand to the area and moving many Romanians to the past. Then increase the tax in the area a lot, and then give some relief to the number of Romanian words learned, so that these Ukrainians can consciously develop the habit of learning Romanian.

And its newspaper broadcasts will greatly increase the use of Romanian language and Latin. As for the children's better handling, educational textbooks must also use the current Romanian Latin, and the spoken language must also be learned from Romanian. After two or three generations, these people will be assimilated. As for unbearable, they can go to the great Soviet Russia to feel it, and they will immediately feel Edel's kindness, at least it didn't let them starve to death. Whether they stick to tradition or choose bread, they will make a sensible decision. It all depends on Edel's previous life experience, which gave him a lot of inspiration.

As for the possibility of resistance, Edel is not afraid as long as he does not get the support of external powers. The Soviet Union would not lift its stone and even smash its own feet, and Britain and France would not do such a stupid thing even if they needed Romania to watch over the Soviet Union.

As for the Bulgarians, it is not a problem at the moment, the sweetness of the economy has overwhelmed those who are still in Romania. Let them go back to Bulgaria, where they are now suffering, and these people do not want to.

As for the small number of Germans, it's not a problem at all.

As for many territories still in the hands of Deau and Austria or their puppet governments, this is not a problem at all. As long as Germany and Austria are defeated, the two puppet governments will take these territories from them and make an armed march. If they dare to resist, let them know the strength of the army of hundreds of thousands who have been tempered by war. This is Darwinism, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp.

Knowing this, Eder now needs to do his part to defeat Austria-Hungary. He picked up Pleishan's battle plan and looked at it. This was to use the Transylvanian Army as the main body, and then add several standing divisions from the Moldavian Army to supplement it.

In addition, several technical arms such as heavy artillery regiments and flying wings will be given to enhance their combat capabilities. Eder also saw Hoffman's armored brigade being dispatched to the army. It seems that Prieshan intends to test its power on the flat terrain of the Great Hungarian Plain, and I hope these Malza people will like it.

And Pleisan will also assign Lieutenant General Fereit, who performed well in this war, to General Salamick as his deputy. Its battle plan also aimed to take the territory east of the Tisza River, which was also Eder's greatest satisfaction. After reading this battle plan, Edel signed his name and said to Admiral Pleishan, "This plan is very good, so let's do it like this."

"Okay, Your Majesty."

In this way, Romania's new battle plan was decided in the conversation between the two.
