Romanian Eagle

While Kong Xiangxi's delegation and the purchased weapons and materials were still being loaded into Romania, a conflict in North China was intensifying and gradually turned into a war.

In early July, the Japanese army exercised near Peiping and demanded that Wanping City be searched under the pretext of the disappearance of a soldier. The local squadron refused their unreasonable demands, and then the Japanese army used this as an excuse to attack Wanping City.

With the start of the battle in Wanping City, it also marked the outbreak of the War of Resistance. The Nanjing government, which had no way to retreat, could only go to war, because North China was an area that it could not give up, and the domestic public opinion had already been full of public grievances, and there was no room for it to retreat.

Of course, in addition to the two parties involved in the war that broke out in the Far East, other countries are also paying attention. But no one is more concerned than Romania, because the ink on the loan of 250 million lei just signed has not yet dried.

"Damn, do these Chinese people know that war is going to break out, so they are borrowing such a large sum of money."

At the Prime Minister's Office, Prime Minister Miharakai couldn't help but swear after the outbreak of the war in the Far East. When he got this news, it was as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

Because after the war broke out, the Nanjing government's repayment execution power was questionable. And the thought that this loan was negotiated by him made him even more uncomfortable. Although His Majesty Edel also played a role in this, it was him who was clearly responsible. Besides, does he dare to speak out about Edel? It's not just himself who is to blame.

So he has to bear the blame if he doesn't. No one can be in a good mood when he bears the blame, and Miharakai, the prime minister, is no exception.

"Would you like to stop their supplies at the port?"

Seeing Miharakai's rage, the secretary couldn't help but give a suggestion, but in exchange for a blank eye.

What a bad idea to keep weapons and supplies at the port. For what reason to stop it, Romania will lose face.

The secretary, who knew he had said the wrong thing, hurriedly fled out.

When the Prime Minister was angry, Edel took the telegram and pondered. The outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War was actually expected long ago, and the previous visit of Kong Xiangxi was an obvious signal.

However, there is not much Romania can do to help in this matter. Still, Edel did his best to help. For example, if you sell the replaced equipment to Nanjing at half price, you can talk a little bit about your feelings. But Romania can only give so much help. There will be no more, because Romania has its own interests, and it can be used to ensure the market and raw material base. If there are more, it will be too conspicuous.

"Your Majesty, this is a war game report made by the military."

As Edel pondered, a guard placed a report on his desk. Thanks to the fact that Romania has a military advisory group in the Republic of China, Romania is very familiar with the intelligence of the People's Liberation Army. In order to protect the interests of Romania, the military conducted a military exercise of the Sino-Japanese war, and the result has already come out.

Edel took this game report and looked at it. In the Romanian military's game, the Chinese side's results were not very good. First of all, in North China, the Romanian military's opinion is to give up North China and defend it according to the Yellow River. The Taihang Mountains on the flanks need to be defended to ensure geographical advantages.

In the Yangtze River Delta area, the Romanian military's opinion was to delay the actions of the Japanese army. Take advantage of the dense local river channels to slow down the enemy's attack speed and buy time for the government, factories and people to evacuate. In Guangzhou and Fujian in the south, it is necessary to organize government agencies, factories, and people to transfer as much as possible. Because the Japanese navy is unmatched by the Republic of China, it must avoid the enemy's advantages and try to stretch the enemy's supply line.

As for the crucial Yangtze River waterway, it needs to be blocked to prevent it from being used by enemy navies.

Of course, this plan is not a complete retreat. In Romania's prediction, it is necessary to block Japan's military industry into three disconnected parts, the first is North China, the second is the Yangtze River Delta, and the third is the Pearl River Delta. The Romanian military believes that its main rear is in the Wuhan area, and the Japanese army must not threaten it here, as the essence of the rear's food and human industry.

Then use the advantages of terrain and manpower to consume the opponent until the Japanese army can't bear the consumption of the war, and then launch a counterattack to gradually pay for the lost ground.

In fact, this war game made by Romania is also a method of exchanging territory for advantages, but the difference from history is that this plan uses Wuhan as the rear, not ChóngQìng. The reason given is that the current civilian military forces can protect the area from the threat of the Japanese army. Coupled with the ability to take advantage of the resistance of the people in the occupied areas to the invaders, the Japanese army cannot use the manpower and resources of the occupied areas.

Of course, the military's deductions underestimated the brutality of the Japanese army, because in the previous wars in Europe, everyone had to talk about civilization. Also, this is only from a military point of view, with insufficient political consideration.

Because first of all, for the city of Shanghai, the military's opinion is to give up. Because it is very simple, it is too close to the sea, which is very beneficial for the Japanese army to use the advantages of the navy to consume **. In addition, there is the problem of the capital Nanjing. In the opinion of the military, this city is to consume the opponent's use, and give it up when it is unacceptable.

Eder looked at the results given by the Romanian military and sighed. Although the Romanian military has become more and more capable in recent years, they still don't know much about the battle in the Far East, and a lot of thinking is based on the European model.

Edel looked at the erroneous deduction report, thought about it, and called the guard. "Let them redo it, tell them if they don't understand, just send a telegram and ask Lieutenant General Mordelke, who is more familiar with the Far East."

Edel watched the guards leave, thinking of the reckless use of poison gas by the Japanese army, and called a new guard. "I called Ambassador Zhu of the Republic of China and said that Romania wants to sell a batch of military supplies."

No way, thinking of those heroic warriors using towels to resist the poisonous gas of the enemy, Edel felt that he needed to do something. Of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that the gas mask is not too expensive. If it is too expensive, I will be embarrassed to give it. He still understands the principle of being diligent and diligent for nothing.

Speaking of gas masks, don't look at this thing is not big, and the value is not high, but it is an essential military material. Before Kong Xiangxi's visit group, only bought 8,000 gas masks, which is not enough for the army. This also has a lot to do with the fact that the Civil War has always been a civil war before, and they don't know much about poison gas.

And Edel didn't want to wait until the Japanese army used it recklessly before the Republic of China remembered what was missing.
