One Hundred and Fifty Romania

After World War I, Eastern European countries were eager to incorporate the lands ruled by their ancestors into their own countries. Poland and Romania are typical representatives. These two countries received "special attention" from Britain and France because of their proximity to the Soviet Union. In order to strengthen the emerging countries of Eastern Europe against the Soviet Union as much as possible, Britain and France supported Poland and Romania to expand their land. Unexpectedly, this actually weakened these two small countries. 【First release】

After the war, Romania gained the entire Transylvania, a region dominated by Hungarians and Germans, and Bukovina and Bessarabia, two regions dominated by Ruthenians and Ukrainians , and the predominantly Bulgarian region of South Dobroga. The result of this "crazy" expansion is that Romania has three enemies that are close at hand: the Soviet Union, which is seriously injured but still has a skeleton, and is planning revenge, resentful Hungary, and disgruntled and muttering Bulgaria. In the end, these three "neighbors" will "help" Romania complete an unforgettable "transformation"...

In post-war Romania, the economic reconstruction (especially oil extraction) was done very quickly, but the politics fell into a sad state. Although friendly relations were established with Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia, the so-called " Little Entente", but in 1924 the Iron Guard was established by Codriano, a former student leader.

The great crisis of 1929-1933 was an opportunity for all extreme or slightly extreme organizations - such as the Nazis and the Greater German Party, etc., as well as the Romanian Iron Guard. Its slogan of "one man, one acre" made many lose their land Peasants turned to it, and some dissatisfied people in the cities also won over, but the Iron Guard's influence in parliamentary elections was for a long time insignificant.

But the threat is getting more and more serious. The Hungarians and Bulgarians next door are okay to say, but the Soviet Union on the other side of the Transnistria with the help of German engineering is gradually recovering, especially its huge army. The improvement is still relatively limited, but it is undoubtedly more powerful in terms of scale and equipment, and the update of Romania's weapons is still going on at a leisurely pace. However, the Soviets are not willing to touch Romania, which has two backers, Britain and France, for the time being, especially because they are worried that the Germans will take it away.

But things will not happen because of the Soviet Union's worries. The speed of Germany's rise after the war shocked the Romanians, and its determination to "intervene" abroad was greater than the Romanian king imagined. When the Romanians welcomed Merkel, the special envoy of the Germans, many politicians may have been prepared to make concessions if they had to.

As a result, before Merkel launched diplomatic mediation with Romania, an unexpected surrender country ushered in: Hungary. This country was originally supported by Britain and France, but at this time it inexplicably sided with Germany. I don't know if the leaders of this country are too whimsical, or they really have great wisdom.

Merkel's trip to Romania was not an unprepared assault, but the result of two years of painstaking efforts by dozens of institutions throughout Germany. They helped Germany set up a story in Romania,

This man is Antonescu.

With the help of this Antonescu, Merkel persuaded His Majesty the King with almost no effort, and let the faint-hearted Romanian monarch do a complete wall-sitting: 80% of the oil in stock was exchanged for Middle East oil. It was sold to the British at double the price, and the remaining 20% ​​and the right to purchase oil for the next two years were secretly sold to the Germans.

The British worked hard for this, hoping to maintain their ally relationship with Romania, and they did not hesitate to pay a huge amount of oil money for this. But obviously they failed, and they didn't know that they were betrayed by Romania at the last moment. Angry and angry, the British refused to pay for the goods and embezzled the first batch of tens of thousands of barrels of oil sent to Britain by Romania. The Germans generously advanced the funds for the British, which surprised the King of Romania.

The Germans were not idle either. They detained two British custom-made battleships that were being installed in the Kiel military port, and threatened the British "government" to give a reasonable explanation to explain the recent series of provocative actions against Germany.

In the end, the British compromised, and they needed time to digest the fruits of victory after gaining the benefits of oil in the Middle East, and they also saw Germany's ambitions and actions to move eastward from Germany's invasion of Romania, so this time they chose to back down. Britain declared that it would never interfere in Romania's internal affairs and apologized for the sinking of the German ship.

Germany did not make progress, and immediately continued to build two super battleships for the United Kingdom. The Krupp factory worked overtime to manufacture 16 381mm cannons for these two battleships. However, not far from the docks of the two British custom-made battleships in the port of Kiel, the two Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers have also entered the stage of assembling the hulls. Compared with the deserted workers on the British custom-made battleships, the construction site over there It can be described as full of enthusiasm.

Of course, this time the transaction brought earth-shaking changes to Romania. Germany used the No. 2 tank and the early models of the No. 3 tank to pay for an oil payment, and Romania directly purchased the world's most advanced high-altitude super fighter me-type in Germany for more oil payments. Counting the 38t tanks and machine guns imported from Czechoslovakia, the Romanian army completed the long-awaited modernization in an instant, and His Majesty the King also trusted his new ally even more.

Even a lot of equipment eliminated by Germany: old gas masks, armored vehicles with complex designs, and Y-shaped tactical straps. It is still an upgrade product that many armies dream of. For example, in the far east, the price of an original Mauser rifle can even buy a light machine gun in the Czech Republic. So Romania didn't think there was anything wrong with the equipment it got.

Antonescu had already served as the Minister of War in 1933. Although he was considered a pro-British faction, he had long joined the pro-German Iron Guard, and with the infiltration and temptation of Germany, His thinking has also undergone tremendous changes. In his opinion, Germany will surely win future wars, and only by standing with Germany can Romania be protected.

For a while, the Antonescu Iron Guard became the only legal political party in Romania. As soon as he came to power, he signed a treaty with Germany, allowing the German army to enter the country for reasons such as assisting in the training of the army, and tightly tied Romania to Germany. In the chariot.

But even Akado found a fact that he couldn't laugh or cry: almost all the leaders in his camp have a weird self-proclaimed-he himself is the German head of state; the friendly Japanese leader claims to be the emperor; Mussolini Likes to call himself a leader, Franco calls himself a general, and now Antonescu, the puppet regime in Romania, calls himself the "chief"...

Soon the United Kingdom received a scolding piece of intelligence that Germany shipped some of its military supplies to Romania. In order to facilitate joint operations and help each other, the Romanian helmets were replaced with m25 steel helmets, and the Romanian army was armed with Mauser 98k and various infantry equipment into the German Wehrmacht ten years ago.

Even more depressing than the British is the Chiang Kai-shek Group in the Far East. Because of the large-scale refitting of Romanian troops, the German guns supplied to the Far East have been out of stock. The original 100 million rounds of bullets and all kinds of long guns and short guns disappeared, and Chiang Kai-shek's plan to strengthen the army had to be frustrated again.

Because of the German arms embargo, Japan, which had gained sweetness, agreed to the request of the Germans and ordered a very small destroyer fleet to go south to Kaohsiung, Taiwan, where a small-scale artillery exercise was held to attract the attention of the British. The force was forced to disperse to the Far East. The destroyer Brave took two destroyers through the Suez Canal, entered the Indian Ocean, and went straight to Hong Kong aggressively.

Sometimes Akado really felt that he chose the hell mode when he crossed. Japan took advantage of the "chaos" and laid down the whole three provinces of Baishan and black soil in the three eastern provinces. The removal of an arms control committee here has caused such troubles.

Think about it, there are still a lot of discounts for those traversers who go back to fight against the Japanese. They either bring optical brains or drag bases—you can get whatever you want for cannons and planes, and you can get what you want for oil, wood, aluminum, iron, molybdenum, and titanium. On my side, I am saving a few cannons every day, and I am worried about so many tons of petroleum rubber every day. People flirt with girls and run newspapers, and they regain the lost land in minutes. It's really like comparing people to people, and comparing goods with goods, you have to throw them away.

Of course, then again, even if Gu Changge who became Akado Rudolph was given a chance to choose, he would not choose to be reincarnated in Japan. He likes harakiri; for example, he doesn't like the phrase "Baga" full of negative emotions-of course, it would be a different matter if he could change Japan's name to China's Donghai Province.

Closer to home, when Akado learned that Romania eventually became a subsidiary ally of Germany, he finally breathed a sigh of relief - he didn't want to rush into a world war in 1936, he needed time to make his German Wehrmacht stronger and stronger Not only can it play a dazzling blitzkrieg, but it can also withstand a brutal war of attrition.

The good news is that no matter what, the development of the German navy, land and air forces will no longer be restricted by others. What he has to do is to use his previous life's vision to check the crazy development of German equipment and make these war machines more perfect. stand up.
