I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 877: Why Did Your Majesty Escape First?

In his autobiography, Churchill cursed the French for their mad pursuit of the "policy of appeasement" and said that France should bear most of the responsibility for the consequences of the world war.

The other part was Russia's fault, which was also firmly pinned on Churchill.

As for Britain, it has no responsibility at all.

Weygand and Pétain were fed up with British hypocrisy and did not want to sacrifice another generation of French people for Britain's "Continental Balance Policy". They would rather serve the tiger themselves and let the British taste the bitter fruit of the "Continental Balance Policy".

Churchill was not stupid either. In order to punish the French, Churchill refused to allow de Gaulle to take his plane to London.

For the future of France, de Gaulle gave up his own dignity. At the last moment before Churchill's special plane took off, he suddenly jumped onto Churchill's plane and went to London with Churchill.

George was amazed.

When it comes to making things happen, it has to be you.

But now George can no longer care about Britain and France. The Kingdom of Romania has invaded Yugoslavia, and Russia must send troops to stop the infighting in the Balkan Alliance.

The news from Alpha is not optimistic either.

The number of German troops that invaded France was not as large as Germany claimed.

Germany still retains at least one hundred divisions to guard against possible Russian attacks.

What made Vasily angry was that during the Battle of Poland, about 15 Polish troops surrendered to the Germans.

After surrendering, these Polish troops directly joined the German vassal army and were deployed by Germany on the Russian-German border in the former Poland.

George was in a dilemma as to whether to attack Germany as originally planned or to withdraw troops from Warsaw to Yugoslavia.

Little Karl came to George again and explained to George that the Junker aristocracy was preparing to launch a coup after defeating France, remove the little mustache from his post, and then sign a real "Non-Aggression Pact" with Russia.

Little Karl confessed to George that while Carol was in Berlin, he had signed an alliance with Little Mustache and officially joined the Axis Powers.

So detaining ships and the like are just excuses.

Romania invaded Yugoslavia in order to support Germany's attack on France and distract Russia's attention.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

George suddenly felt murderous.

"Grand Duke, I just found out about this, too."

Little Carl felt aggrieved, he really didn't mean to hide it.

As to whether the Junker aristocracy deliberately concealed the truth, it is hard to say.

Since Yugoslavia's main force was organizing its defense in the western mountainous areas, its domestic strength was weak.

The Romanian army made rapid progress. Before the German army reached Paris, the Romanian army had already reached Sofia.

George sighed and ordered the Russian Air Force in Constantinople to bomb the Romanian troops that had invaded Yugoslavia.

At the same time, George transferred the Korean Army, which was heading to Warsaw, to Romania.

Carol immediately spoke to Russia through the media, saying that Romania was not targeting Yugoslavia. As long as Georgi fully recognized his mistakes, apologized to the Kingdom of Romania for his wrong behavior, and compensated the Kingdom of Romania for its losses, the Kingdom of Romania would not only withdraw its troops, but Carol would also apologize to Boris and compensate the Romanian army for the losses caused to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

Carol doesn't know yet that he has been abandoned by Germany and is still trying to confuse the public with his own tricks.

George did not talk to Carol in the media. Constantinople dispatched hundreds of bombers, using high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs to carry out carpet bombing on the Romanian troops that invaded the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

At the same time, the Russian Air Force stationed around the Kingdom of Romania also made frantic moves to carry out targeted strikes on military targets within the Kingdom of Romania.

On June 6, Carol sought help from the League of Nations, claiming that the Kingdom of Romania was being invaded by Russia.

Since the outbreak of World War II, the number of member states of the League of Nations has become increasingly scarce. Major countries such as Britain, France, Russia and Germany have withdrawn their ambassadors to the League of Nations back to their own countries, and the League of Nations exists in name only.

The person in charge of the League of Nations now is Lorenzo, the Italian ambassador to the League of Nations.

Italy, also a member of the Axis Powers, cooperated with the Kingdom of Romania to issue a warning to Russia, demanding that Russia stop bombing the Kingdom of Romania.

The day after the warning was issued, the dozen or so remaining ambassadors of the League of Nations returned home.

As a member of the Balkan League, the Kingdom of Romania is quite powerful, with more than 900 fighter jets alone.

Although the number of fighter jets is not small, it still pales in comparison with Russia's more than 6000 fighter jets.

Faced with the swarming Russian aircraft, the pilots of the Kingdom of Romania fought back.

A considerable number of fighter jets equipped by the Romanian Air Force were produced during the last World War, with very backward performance, and only a small number are new fighter jets produced in recent years.

All the fighter jets equipped by the Russian Air Force are cutting-edge fighter jets produced in recent years.

The Russian Air Force not only has an advantage in the number and performance of fighter jets, but also has a huge advantage in the skills of its pilots. Each Russian pilot trains for up to 300 hours each year.

Romanian pilots have only about 100 hours of training.

Although the Romanian Air Force caused some trouble to the Russian Air Force due to its huge disadvantage in equipment, with the loss of its most courageous Romanian pilots, the Romanian Air Force was no longer able to protect the skies of the Kingdom of Romania.

It should also be noted here that not all Romanians agree with Carol's retrograde actions.

Since Carol's restoration, trade between the Kingdom of Romania and Germany has been increasing.

However, the Romanians did not enjoy the benefits brought by the increase in trade volume. All the profits were pocketed by Carol and the Romanian elite.

Except for some true patriots and the pilots deceived by Carol.

Most Romanian pilots had no intention of fighting, so after the battle, Romania only had about 7 fighter planes left. On July 3, the hastily arrived Korean Army invaded the Romanian Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Romania officially declared war on Russia and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the Kingdom of Greece, the Kingdom of Montenegro, the Kingdom of Korea, the Grand Duchy of Yuriev, and Australia.

The scene Carol expected did not happen.

Before attacking France, the mustache promised Carol that if Russia and its allies launched an attack on the Kingdom of Romania, Germany would assume its obligations and declare war on the relevant countries along with the Kingdom of Romania.

Carol thought that after the Kingdom of Romania declared war on Russia, Germany would fulfill its promise and declare war on Russia along with the Kingdom of Romania.

Germany remained unmoved and continued to launch fierce attacks on the French army.

On July 7, France surrendered.

Now that France has surrendered, shouldn't Germany declare war on Russia?

Carol forgets that Germany has broken agreements many times and has never kept its promises.

George also didn't know why Carol believed that the little mustache would definitely fulfill his promise to Romania.

According to the Thunderstorm Plan formulated by Russia, Russia should launch an attack on Germany as soon as possible after France surrendered.

George also did not expect that the German army would withdraw troops from France to defend the country before France surrendered.

By the time France announced its surrender, Germany already had 120 divisions.

Only then did George realize that everyone had been fooled by the French.

Although George knew that the French army had no intention of fighting, for the sake of honor, the French had to at least put up a symbolic resistance before surrendering.

When France announced its surrender, there were still 70 elite French troops within the Maginot Line. If France wanted to resist, it would not be without the ability to fight.

France surrendered so quickly that it was not only beyond George's expectations, but even Little Mustache probably didn't expect it.

Like the German army that invaded France, the Russian army was also unstoppable in the Kingdom of Romania.

Like most of the Romanian Air Force, many Romanian Army generals also disapproved of Carol's pro-German stance.

Although Carol is of German descent.

Romania has been a staunch ally of Russia since its founding.

Even the Kingdom of Romania was able to break free from the colonial rule of the Ottoman Empire and gain independence with the help of Russia.

Under such circumstances, the Romanian troops, including those on the Carpathian Pass defense line, had no intention of fighting.

"Assholes! Are you going to betray your country?"

At the Carpathian Command, Carol was furious.

All the Romanian generals present did not speak and responded in silence. Some of them had bloodshot eyes.

"Now I order you in the name of the King of Romania to pick up your weapons, return to your positions and repel the Russian attack!"

Carol was insane, even more hysterical than the mustache guy in the bunker.

"Ah--"

I don’t know who couldn’t hold back their lips and laughed out loud.

"Who! Who is it? Stand out! Damn it, stand out!"

Carol didn't realize that the situation was on the verge of getting out of control.

"Your Majesty, leave this to me. Please go and rest first."

Ion Antonescu noticed that the generals' anger was on the verge of exploding.

Carol returned to the palace angrily, only to find that Elena had already packed her luggage.

"What are you doing?"

Carol was surprised that the Russian army had not yet attacked.

"Honey, if we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave."

Elena's face was filled with fear.

In the Romanian army, Ion Antonescu had greater influence than Carol.

Antonescu finally appeased the generals and asked them to return to their positions to organize defense. He then went to see Carol and prepared to persuade Carol to negotiate with Russia.

The eunuch told Yang Antonescu that Carol and Elena had left the palace by car a quarter of an hour ago.

"Where has your Majesty gone?"

Antonescu felt extremely sad. We, the ministers, were ready to fight to the death, so why did Your Majesty flee first?
"Your Majesty should have gone to the train station—"

The eunuch was filled with worry and didn't know where the future of the kingdom would lie.

"Hahahaha, awesome! That's awesome!"

Ion Antonescu laughed maniacally.

That night, Antonescu committed suicide.
