Rebirth: Romania Rising

On September 1912, 9, in the city of Piteşti (Pite?14?0ti), Arges County in southern Romania, in the evening, dark clouds enveloped the entire city, and rain came unexpectedly, as if the gods were tilting.The world outside the window gradually blurred, leaving only a faint outline.The buildings in the distance are looming, as if immersed in a gray ink painting.

It was misty and rainy, and the street lamps on both sides of the street gave off soft light.The road underfoot was blurry, the carriage splashed ripples on the cement road, and the glass of the building reflected dots of watermarks.There is a fresh smell in the air, the air is fragrant and moist, as if the rain can cleanse the body and mind.

In an ordinary house in the city, the male owner with white temples was sitting boredly in the living room, smoking and waiting. However, he heard a knock on the door, followed by a gentle greeting:

"Father, I'm back!"

"Finally back." The old man took a puff of cigarette and took a deep breath before slowly opening the door.

"Yes, father!"

I saw the young man walking quickly into the house, wearing a wet coat, the hem of which was stained with mud, looking quite embarrassed.He wears military boots and looks handsome.

He has thick black hair and deep brown eyes, with clear features and a slender face.His nose was straight, and his green face exuded a confident temperament.He is tall and strong, giving people the impression of being brave and courageous.

At first glance, the young man looks like a young soldier about 20 years old...

The young man wiped the rain off his face, showed an excited and happy smile, and said modestly to the old man: "Father, I have completed my military studies at the military academy."

"How's the result?"

Upon hearing that Victor had graduated, the old man instantly changed from a decadent old farmer to a serious and rigid soldier, and his eyes scanned Victor's pockets.

"Those with diplomas and transcripts are also included."

Victor dug into his wet military coat and took out the beautifully bound diploma. Seeing that it was not wet, Victor breathed a sigh of relief and handed the diploma to his father, Anton.

The surface of the graduation certificate is frosted and feels comfortable and delicate.The school's logo and graduation certificate are printed on the cover using gold hot stamping technology. The entire design is simple, generous and dignified, exuding an atmosphere of rigor and solemnity.

[Higher Military School of Bucharest, Romania/Excellent Graduates/Ian Victor Antonescu]

"Outstanding graduates?"

Anton was even more amazed, his eyes seemed a little hazy, he was very happy, but it didn't show on his expression, he just patted Victor on the shoulder.

"Not bad! But..."

When the conversation changed, Anton cut off the cigarette and stared hard at Victor's face.Victor instantly had the illusion that he was being watched by a hunter as a prey, and he broke into a cold sweat for a moment...

Victor can't help but feel guilty, because his so-called outstanding graduate status can be said to be true, but it is not entirely true!

It turns out that he is no longer the original Ion Antonescu, but a peace-loving and history-loving university student in the 21st century. After being admitted to university, he loved playing Hearts of Steel 4 from a certain P club. After graduation, he joined the army with honor. , but due to being too excited, he passed out while having a party with friends.

When he woke up again, he found that he was lying in a carriage and had a terrible headache. He looked out of the carriage and saw only some frugally dressed "gringos".Memories and knowledge like sea water flooded into my mind, and it was only later that I realized that I had encountered a "time travel" scene in a historical novel!

Later I learned that my situation was a case of "soul travel". After time traveling, I merged with the memory of the original owner and took over the body of the original owner [Ion Victor Antonescu].

"Ion Victor Antonescu, isn't he a famous figure in history? He also appears in Hearts of Iron 4!"

He is a veteran player of Hearts of Iron 4 and always loves the comebacks and desperate counterattacks of small countries. He is especially impressed by the Romanian dictator, Ion Victor Antonescu, who was a glorious soldier of Romania in the first half of his life. A staunch anti-German; in the second half of his life, he led Romania to become Hitler's lackey and an accomplice of fascism!

He really didn't expect that he would become this historical figure who has been both praised and praised...

He shuddered when he thought about the future of himself and Romania: Romania's great development opportunities after World War I would be interrupted by World War II, and Romania would also be trapped by the appeasement policy of Britain and France!And "I" will defect to Germany in the future!

In the spring of 1944, the Soviet army will invade Romania with overwhelming advantages in strength and weapons and capture itself.And they will be executed in the future, and Romania will also be partitioned and puppeted.

"In other words, I will be notorious in the future and my body will be wiped out?"

Victor started brainstorming, thinking about how he could be involved in the war, but unfortunately he hadn't figured out a way yet. Worse things happened to him, he had already graduated from college!The carriage he is in is about to return to his hometown!

It turns out that the original owner's family is a military family, and his father Anton is a serious and unsmiling veteran.According to his father's arrangement, as a high-quality talent who has "drunk foreign ink", since he graduated from college, he should honorably join the army to serve the motherland!Just like the reserve force of myself in the previous life, I should bear the obligation to serve.

Victor was dumbfounded at this time, thinking that he would be an oppressor in the future and dragging Ding into the battlefield. Although he had some knowledge of the history and military theories of the Balkans and Romania in his previous life, he was only at the level of an ordinary enthusiast. Or, game theory is one thing, but actually fighting on a battlefield with tens of millions of people is another.

But after integrating the memory of the original owner, all these miscellaneous doubts disappeared.

Romania follows France in military terms. The military system and procedures are quite comprehensive. As a senior intellectual, he has received systematic military training and command at the capital military academy and is already an ordinary officer. When he thinks that he will not be used as cannon fodder, Victor then breathed a sigh of relief, and the burden in his heart became much lighter.

It is 1912, a small historical event that Victor is unaware of.But he knew that there were still 1 or 2 years before the First World War, and nearly 30 years before Romania was involved in the Second World War. He was still very young, only around 27 or [-], so he had plenty of time.

Thinking of this, Victor felt a lot more at ease. He thought: "I'll take care of myself now that I've come. Anyway, it's still early before World War II, so worrying now is unfounded. It's better to watch more, listen more, learn more, and combine it with what I've learned from time travel." Be knowledgeable, understand this era well, and slowly think about the rise of Romania."

So, Victor safely returned to his hometown in Pitesti in a carriage and met his father, a retired soldier.

Anton sent another message: "You can rest in your hometown these two days. In two days, you will report to the army. Go early. You have a diploma and some qualifications. You are also an outstanding graduate of the military academy. You will have a bright future." of."

"Yes." Victor was mentally prepared and replied resolutely.

"But don't always think that joining the army and serving the country is to satisfy your personal honor. You can't forget your motherland and king. Remember, be loyal to the king and serve the country!"

Victor hurriedly said: "I know my father, and I will never forget that the motherland still has... a king." As a student in the 21st century, Victor naturally has no good impression of the powerful king.

Antonescu's family is worthy of being a military family. His father encouraged joining the army and strictly prohibited private fighting.Joining the army is a glorious tradition and a beautiful family tradition, but the purpose of joining the army cannot be to show off one's dignity, but to be selfless and for the sake of the motherland and the so-called king.

"Just understand." Anton is older, and his energy and reflexes are not as good as when he was young and joined the army.Seeing that Victor is so obedient and sensible, and obeys the arrangements, he is indeed a good child cultivated by military life.

Anton then began to talk about some changes and developments in his hometown and motherland.

Victor listened carefully and thought carefully.Sometimes they would talk to each other a few times. Victor didn't talk much, but he liked to listen to "father" chatting, because it allowed him to more intuitively experience the era of the early twentieth century and all aspects of the country of Romania.

But as the discussion developed, the topic discussed by the father and son also took a turn.It has changed from changes in my hometown to current affairs news.

"Victor, do you know some rumors?" Anton lowered his voice and said suspiciously.

"I heard from newspapers and rumors that the Balkans are about to change again!"
