I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 870 Allies
George didn't expect that when the final round was about to begin, Carroll would quietly give George such a big "surprise".

On the surface, there seemed to be no problem with the alliance between the Kingdom of Romania and Germany, after all, Russia was also an ally of Germany.

But since Germany has already allied with Russia, there is no need for the Kingdom of Romania, as a member of the Balkan League, to do anything unnecessary.

As the weakest link in the Balkan League, the Kingdom of Romania's alliance with Germany was tantamount to a betrayal of the Balkan League.

To make matters worse, at the same time as the Kingdom of Romania and Germany formed an alliance, the relationship between the Kingdom of Greece and Britain became increasingly close.

George was prepared for this, it was Britain's retaliation against Russia's exports to Africa.

The land of the Kingdom of Greece was protected by the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, and the coastline was under the protection of the Russian Mediterranean Fleet, so there was no threat at all.

Therefore, since the end of World War II, Greece has almost stopped investing in the military and has devoted more energy to the development of tourism resources, achieving very good results.

Currently, Greece has become the first choice for Russians to go on vacation, and the tourism industry has gradually become one of Greece's pillar industries.

George called Georgy and asked him to bring Princess Helen and Prince Mihaly to Russia.

Georgy was just close to the British, but he did not form an alliance with them.

"Don't worry, I know my limits, unlike that idiot Carol."

Georgie will never forgive Carol for abandoning Helen and her son.

George was speechless. In front of the child, Georgi, as an uncle, didn't even know how to restrain himself.

Prince Mihaly, who was born in 1921, was already 18 years old. He looked unconfident and did not dare to look George in the eye. His standing posture was not straight enough and he was not as strong as George imagined.

But it is understandable. Michael ascended the throne at the age of 5, but his father Carol later seized the throne through a coup, and he and his mother were forced to live in Greece.

Although Mihaly and Helen had no problem living with Georgy's care, the fact that his father had taken the throne away from him still had a serious impact on Mihaly's growth.

Although Carol himself is not a human being, he is Mihaly's father after all. In order to take Mihaly's feelings into consideration, Georgi should not insult Carol in front of Mihaly.

Carol's lack of confidence is probably related to Georgi's indifference.

There were some things George said that were also not suitable to be said in front of Mihaly.

Anne comes and takes Helen and Mihaly away.

Mihaly was brisk on his feet and George put too much pressure on him.

George waited until Mihaly left before speaking: "I want Mihaly to return to Romania and be king again."

"Hey, where were you when Carol was plotting a rebellion and usurping the throne? You're a bastard too!"

Georgi actually bit back.

"What did you do as an uncle?"

George was curious, as a brother, you don’t support your sister and nephew, so how can you have the nerve to blame George?
Boris married Carol's sister, and George was the elder and was not in a position to speak on the issues of the Kingdom of Romania.

If Georgy had been determined to seek justice for his sister and nephew at the time, George would not have sat idly by.

Georgi thought about it and reluctantly admitted: "Well, I'm an asshole too!"

When two bastards get together, there is still room for redemption. If they admit their mistakes and correct them, they can still be good comrades.

After Carol left the Kingdom of Romania, it was Army Minister Antonescu who presided over the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Romania.

It was only then that George learned that the Kingdom of Romania had actually hired officers from Germany to serve as instructors in the Romanian army.

This is simply amazing.

Germany is still sending its officers to Russia for further training.

Russia also does not reject Romanian officers from going to Russia to study.

If Romania needs instructors, it can invite them from Russia. Why go to Germany instead?
All I can say is that it was planned for a long time.

George wanted to call Antonescu to Russia to capture the leader first.

Antonescu had been prepared, anticipating George's prediction, and left Bucharest to inspect the work at the Carpathian Pass.

During the World War, the Balkan Allied Forces fought a bloody battle with the Austro-Hungarian Army at the Carpathian Pass. George ordered the paratroopers to land at the Ottoman Army's defense line before breaking through the Carpathian Pass.

After the end of World War II, the Kingdom of Romania dismantled the defenses of the Carpathian Pass, improved the railway, and strengthened the connection between Bucharest and Transylvania.

George suspected Antonescu was rebuilding the defense.

"There is no doubt that Carol, that bastard, and Antonescu had planned this long ago. The Romanian army cannot stop our armored forces in the plains, so they hope to use the complex terrain in the mountains to stop our attack."

Vasily cursed and demanded that George send troops immediately to overthrow Carol's rule and execute Antonescu on the spot.

"No, we can't just send troops to Romania."

George lacked a good reason.

Carol was very scheming. While selling oil to Germany, he often maintained his image as a "benevolent monarch" with small favors, which won the trust of the Romanians.

If Russia rashly sends troops, it will provoke strong opposition from the Romanians, which is exactly what Carol wants.

Without the support of the Romanians, Carol would also not be able to completely break free from Russian influence.

"George, no matter what you do, now I want to prove to you my courage as a man." Georgi wanted to force Russia to give in.

"That's not courage, that's recklessness."

George is not belittling Georgi. The quality of the Greek army is still far behind that of the Romanian army.

During the World War, the Romanian Army ranked third in the Balkan League, behind only Russia and the High Japanese Army, and performed better than the troubled Yugoslavia.

The Greek army had a rare and impressive performance during the world wars.

Just after the World War ended, the remnants of the Ottoman Empire drove Japan out of the Anatolian Peninsula, completely exposing its own strength.

"Don't underestimate me. Even without your help, I can help Michael restore his country."

Georgy left angrily, but Helen and Mihaly did not leave.

Compared with the impulsive and willful Georgi, Helen trusts George more.

After Georgy returned to Athens, before mobilization began, the mustache man attacked again, this time across the entire territory of Czechoslovakia.

In the Munich Agreement signed just last year, Germany promised that it would only take the Sudetenland and would not covet the remaining territory of Czechoslovakia.

Less than half a year after the signing of the Munich Agreement, the little mustache man tore up the agreement again. To the little mustache man, Germany's national credibility is no more than toilet paper.

In response to Germany's behavior, Britain and France did nothing except verbally protest.

Russia also watched Czechoslovakia being annexed without even protesting.

Carol finally returned to Romania just after Germany annexed Czechoslovakia.

Carol is very busy now. Before Vasily has time to call Carol, Carol went to Prague to attend the establishment ceremony of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia as an ally of Germany.

The Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia was a German puppet regime in Czechoslovakia.

Russia sent no representatives to the founding ceremony of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.

However, both Britain and France sent their ambassadors from the former Czechoslovakia and the current Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia to participate.

George wondered if the British and French were swollen in the face, and Russia was not responsible for the security of Czechoslovakia.

At the Paris Peace Conference, Britain and France jointly presided over the dismemberment of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and made security commitments to Poland, Czechoslovakia and other countries.

Part of Poland has already been incorporated into Germany through the process of national self-determination.

Germany also completed its annexation of Czechoslovakia through national self-determination.

The mustache guy should thank Wilson for proposing the idea of ​​"national self-determination".

After his impulse, Georgi calmed down and began to call on Carol, asking him to abdicate and return the throne to Mihaly.

Carol went to Berlin again after the founding ceremony of the Protectorate and did not return to Bucharest at all.

Antonescu responded to Gheorghe with a tough attitude, saying that Gheorghe's remarks were a serious interference in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Romania. While protesting against Gheorghe, he asked Vasily to stop Gheorghe's inappropriate behavior.

Vasily did not respond and neither of them helped.

But he secretly called Makarov over and ordered him to kill Antonescu.

Better to kill Carol too.

Alpha is not George's private army. Makarov did not dare to make the decision on his own and took the initiative to report to George.

"Wait a minute—"

George was in no hurry, waiting for the mustache man's next move.

The successive successes in political and military adventures effectively stimulated the ambitions of the little mustache.

After annexing Czechoslovakia, the German General Staff could not wait to formulate the "White Plan" to attack Poland.

The core of the White Plan was to assemble elite troops, quickly break through the weak links of the Polish army, and at the same time use the advantage of mobility to continuously consume the Polish army's manpower, and ultimately achieve the encirclement and annihilation of the Polish army.

After more than a decade of mutual infiltration, the German General Staff had almost no secrets from Russia.

Although General Gerd von Rundstedt, who formulated the plan, claimed that the plan continued the mobile warfare thinking of the Moltke era.

George could still see the standard Russian style at a glance.

Mobile warfare is not a standard style for anyone. The armies of all countries emphasize mobile warfare and annihilating the enemy in motion.

In the German army's combat plan, it was the armored forces that were responsible for the main attack and penetration tasks.

Even the German armored forces were borrowed from the Russian armored forces.

“What are we waiting for?”

Vasily was itching to do so.

What George was waiting for was whether Britain and France would declare war on Germany after Germany declared war on Poland.

Unlike Czechoslovakia, Poland was an ally of Britain and France.
