Romanian Eagle

When Romanian military and political parties began to secretly prepare for war, their various measures would have various reactions, which inevitably attracted the attention of those who were interested, among which Major Habers, the German military attache, was most concerned. As Germany's intelligence chief in Romania, Major Haberts is very interested in the latest Romanian move and is now interviewing a very important informant.

As the intelligence chief of a country with huge influence in Romania, Major Hubbards is also troubled by the expansion of intelligence sources. People who don't know about intelligence work may think that Germany, which has a huge influence in Romania, should have an innate advantage in intelligence, so its intelligence work should also be very good, and Major Haberts has the most say.

In the opinion of Major Hubbards, Germany has influence in Romania, but intelligence work is still difficult, even more difficult to do in Romania after the war. Because the Romanians have a good impression of Germany, but it does not mean that he will betray the country for this. Especially when Romania's economy grew explosively after the outbreak of the war and its national strength became stronger, this work was even more difficult to do.

Now Major Hubbards is sitting in a very ordinary cafe in his makeup, waiting for the person he needs to meet.

At this time, a customer entered the cafe, and through his steady steps and upright posture, it could be seen that this should be a soldier, or a former soldier. Only Major Habers knew that this was the man he was waiting for, Lieutenant Aberjol, a logistics officer in the Romanian General Staff.

As a very rare informant who can remain in the General Staff, Lieutenant Aberyol also has his own unique way of survival. As an old officer who has been in the General Staff for more than ten years, Lieutenant Aberyol is also well-known in the General Staff for being timid, and this characteristic makes him easy to be ignored by people. Because of all the signs in Romania, now Lieutenant Colonel Hubbards had to use him.

Haber, what are you looking for from me?

Lieutenant Aberyol looked around nervously, and then whispered to the embassy attaché in front of him. It was the moment of the limelight, and he was a little resistant to Lieutenant Colonel Hubbards' connection.

Aberjol, don't be so nervous.

Seeing the tense look of the lieutenant who played an important role in the intelligence line, Hubbards spoke soothingly.

Hubbard's consolation didn't work, Aberjorie said. Everything is tightening now and we shouldn't meet at this time.

But I have something urgent and need your help.

Hearing Hubbards' words, Aberjol said after taking a sip of coffee to ease his mood. Tell me, what's the matter?

In this regard, Hubbards spoke about the topics he cared about. What's wrong with your general staff recently?

Of course there is.

In the face of Habarts' question, Aberjol said with a self-deprecating manner. Your pressure has made the General Staff jump, and now a group of staff members are busy formulating a battle plan against you.

Hearing this, Hubbards asked. Is that plan possible?

For Habarts' questioning, Aberjol shook his head and said. That won't do.

why?

Because this plan hasn't been done yet, it's impossible for you to want me to steal it.

Aberyol continued to speak a little emotionally. And have you considered the risk of stealing the battle plan in the General Staff, you must know that the place where the battle plan is stored is guarded by special personnel,

And no one can borrow it without the warrants of the Chief of the General Staff and the Chief of Operations. I'm an officer in the logistics department, how can I get this for you?

Seeing the excited Lieutenant Abojor, Hubbards quickly appeased. Sorry, Aberjoel, I said the wrong thing. I mean I hope you can understand the tone of the staff who made the plan, and I will judge for myself.

Aberjol calms down, considering that the coffee shop is unattractive. But inwardly he scoffed at what Hubbards said. Exploring the air? Lightly said. The tone of inquiring about the latest battle plan in the General Staff, for fear of being unnoticed at this tense time, is a terrible thing for the timid Lieutenant Aberjol.

But Aberjol also knew that the German military attache came to him at this tense moment, and it was impossible to communicate without enough information, so he said after thinking about it. I can only tell you now that the plan currently being developed within the General Staff is about the invasion of Transylvania in Austria-Hungary.

The General Staff has been working on the battle plan against Austria-Hungary for a long time, and it is normal for only a few words to circulate within the General Staff. And it was only fitting that Aberyol used the convenience of being a logistics officer to get this news.

Hearing the words of the lieutenant officer in front of him, Hubbard already had an answer in his heart, so he continued to ask. Can I ask how long this plan has been in place?

Facing Habarts' inquiry, Aberyol said disgustedly. How would I know.

Hearing Aberyol's complaint, Habers also secretly scolded himself that this question was too idiot, so he asked in a different way. How long have you had this news?

About twenty days.

'About 20 days,' Hubbards repeated this time in his mind. Hubbards himself was born an officer, and he was familiar with formulating battle plans. Generally speaking, a battle plan that needs to be used takes several months, and it needs to be modified according to different environments. When a bridge is overhauled, it needs to be modified.

Therefore, according to Aberjol, even the logistics officer of the General Staff knew about 20 days. Habers judged that the battle plan Romania was making should not exceed one and a half months. Because if it is formulated for too long, it is impossible to hide it for too long, and this is not a complete battle plan, so it does not need to be too secretive.

In this era, the organizations that formulate combat plans in various countries (not necessarily all of the General Staff) have a lot of combat plans for various situations. In addition to fighting aliens, you will find various plans) but these battle plans are basically ashes.

Is this your judgment?

Later in the day, inside the German embassy, ​​Ambassador Baslober asked, looking at the judgment made by Lieutenant Colonel Habers from the information obtained by Aberjol. Does this need to be understood to make a decision?

Facing the ambassador's question, Lieutenant Colonel Hubbard answered confidently. I don't need your Excellency. I am also an officer, and I have participated in the formulation of various combat plans. From the information we have received, it seems that Romania needs at least three months to prepare for military preparation. I have reservations in the judgment. Now, two and a half months is the limit for Romanians.

Seeing Hubbard's extremely confident answer, Ambassador Baslob was not good to say anything. After all, he was not an officer, and he didn't know much about military affairs. The reason why he asked more questions was that when he was about to pass information to Berlin this time, the lieutenant colonel attached his judgment, and the ambassador was concerned to ask.

Because it is customary for the local embassy to attach its own judgment when sending back news or intelligence, then Berlin will use this as an important reference. After all, the local embassy is better informed. But if the judgment is wrong, the board from Berlin is definitely not light. Out of consideration for my colleagues and myself, it is right for Ambassador Baslob to ask.

But Ambassador Baslob did nothing. It seems that most of this information is about our ally Austria-Hungary, so it should also be told to Ambassador Belle.

So that night, two telegrams with almost the same content were sent to Berlin and Vienna.
