Romanian Eagle

After watching the tank's drill, Ambassador Baslob asked about Major Hubbard in private. "Are you sure?"

In the face of the ambassador's inquiry, Major Hubbars knew that whether he could obtain the technology of the new tank weapon was related to the impact of the German war situation. After all, Germany does not have a good way to deal with this new weapon now, so starting from Romania will speed up their research and development ideas for tanks, and strive to come up with tanks to compete with Britain as soon as possible.

"Obviously I don't know yet. Berlin needs to send the information of these military officers. I won't know if it will work until I see the information."

As for Major Hubbards' words, Ambassador Baslobb was the right way, but he still wanted to urge him. "We need to hurry up on this matter, and the military desperately wants information on this new weapon."

"You can rest assured, Mr. Ambassador, I am an officer and I am very clear about the role of this technology in the military."

As soon as Major Haberts returned to the embassy, ​​he immediately sent the names of the four Romanian officers serving in the tank battalion to Berlin, and asked the government to send all the information about these officers in Germany. It is mainly that these officers are most concerned about the attitude of Germany Major Hubbards, which will determine the success or failure of the availability of tank information.

The reply from Berlin was very fast, and the detailed information of these officers in Berlin was sent in the evening of the same day. The above all have the evaluation of the school during their study period.

Major Hubbars was comparing the details he sent, and he wanted to select the most suitable candidates, because in this way, the success rate of acquiring the technology could be improved.

In the end, an officer named Florenza was chosen by him, because in the telegram from Berlin, Florenza had shown great admiration for Germany in school, and talked in school more than once that Romania needs Learning from Germany can be really powerful.

In fact, this is not the main reason why Major Hubbards chose him. What really made him choose is that the Florenza officer returned home after graduating in 1914. The German intelligence service also suggested through the telegram that the Florenza officer was the main breakthrough point. And don't think two years is enough time to change one's sense of something, including, of course, the adoration of Germany.

The intelligence service's suggestion was also in line with Major Hubbards' views, so in the end the Florenza officer was chosen. In addition to the first target of Florenza, Major Hubbard also selected an officer named Garabette as a candidate. This Garabette also has the same German complex as Florenza, but there is one thing that is not dominant, that is, it has been four years since he returned to China, so Major Haberts listed him as a candidate.

Major Hubbars rushed to Constanta as soon as he had chosen his target, and this time he planned to do it himself.

In the vicinity of the Constanta armored battalion station,

There is a small town called Adami. There are several small bars in this small town, and more than half of them are newly opened in the past two years. Of course, their main target is the officers and soldiers of the nearby armored battalion. There are even two Orioles venues in the town, which are also prepared for the officers and soldiers of these great guys. So when officers and soldiers rest, the town is very lively, and soldiers can be seen everywhere to relax.

Major Hubbars has been here for two days, and after inquiring during this period of time, he got a piece of news that cheered him up. Major Habarts was delighted by the news that Lieutenant Florenza was serving as the deputy company commander of the maintenance company in the armored battalion. If it is said that what kind of position can get the most accurate data on weapons, it must be the maintenance officer. Now Major Hubbards was ready for Lieutenant Florenza's arrival, for tomorrow was the armoured battalion's rest day. The bar that his target likes to go to, Major Hubbars has already made a reservation.

In the morning of the next day, the small town of Amida was lively. The officers and soldiers of the armored battalion poured into the town in large numbers, and they used their rare rest time to relax themselves. Alcohol, tobacco and sex are what they seek to relax, and of course officers and soldiers who drink too much sometimes get into fights. However, at this time, the military police specially dispatched will have a role to play. On the rest day, they will always encounter a few officers and soldiers who have drunk too much and are not clear-headed. Taking a vacation is enough to make these high drinkers regret the next day.

Major Hubbars had been sitting at Papa Hugo's bar for almost five hours, but the person he wanted to wait for had not yet appeared. This made Major Hubbards a little anxious. If he didn't come out, he would need to come over next week. Fortunately, Major Hubbard's prayer was heard by God, and in the afternoon Lieutenant Florenza finally showed up.

Lieutenant Florenza has been very busy with work recently, and even on days off, he has to finish his work before he can go out to rest. Because he is one of the few all-round technical officers in the armored battalion, he can repair both wheeled armored vehicles and tanks with ease, so he has always been so busy. Same thing today, wearing clothes that smell like oil. The fact that none of his clothes did not have a pungent oily smell made Lieutenant Florenza impatient.

Just as Lieutenant Florenza sat down at his favorite Papa Hugo bar, a word came from behind him.

"Bring a Munich beer to my friend Lieutenant Florenza, he likes it best."

Lieutenant Florenza thought it was his colleague, turned around and saw a stranger, so he spoke coldly. "Sorry, I don't know you?"

The stranger didn't pay much attention to Lieutenant Florenza's tone, he still spoke enthusiastically. "Don't we just know each other? Let me introduce myself, I'm a friend of your teacher Birdman, and my name is Hubbards."

Lieutenant Florenza's tone was softened by Major Hubbard's words. "What do you have to do with me?"

Major Hubbards explained. "It's nothing, I'm here to buy some supplies and bring them back to China. I happened to be in Constanta. I heard your name, so I want to get acquainted..."

The look of Lieutenant Florenza that you continue to make up makes Major Hubbards unable to speak.

Seeing that Major Hubbard was not speaking, Lieutenant Florenza said it casually. "Do you know how many peeps our armored battalion has caught recently?"

Lieutenant Florenza answered immediately. "A total of 6 arrests were made during this period, which is more than the previous year."

Seeing Lieutenant Florenza's teasing eyes, Major Hubbards decided not to pretend. "Well, I'll tell the truth. My name is indeed Habers, and I'm currently a military attache at the German embassy. Bodniman is indeed my good friend. I came here mainly to find out something from you. You are willing to accept Germany's request?"

The words of Major Hubbard made Lieutenant Florenza think fiercely in his mind. Looking at the hesitant Lieutenant Florenza, it was time for Major Hubbard to add. "Rest assured, we will not use what we get from you to endanger your motherland, I swear in the name of God."

Major Hubbard's last words allowed Lieutenant Florenza to finally make a decision. He glanced at what Major Hubbards told him. "Let's talk somewhere else."

Then the two found a private room, at this time Lieutenant Florenza spoke. "Mr. Hubbards, you want me to see your papers first."

"no problem."

Lieutenant Florenza questioned Major Hubbars after examining the officer's ID card and diplomatic documents that he was carrying. "What do you need to know."

The election of Major Hubbard is the most urgent for Germany so far. "We need the structure of the chassis, the configuration of the engine, the layout of the weapons, and the structure of your turret."

Lieutenant Florenza said after hearing Major Hubbards' words. "You all need a lot. If you add some drawings, you can give you the whole car."

Major Hubbards continued to play the hardship family card. "Lieutenant Florenza is now being slaughtered by British tanks in the German army. We urgently need to find a way to deal with it. At present, only you can solve this problem. Are you willing to help the suffering German soldiers and civilians?"

Sure enough, Major Hubbards played this card very well. Lieutenant Florenza has always admired Germany. Although there has been some relief in the two years after returning to China, he has always been proud of Germany's military victory from the newspaper. Now hearing British tanks slaughtering German soldiers and civilians, the German officer, who is completely Romanian, can't sit still, he told Major Hubbard. "You come next week, I need to do some preparations."

"No problem, the German government will remember your kindness."

"and many more"

After speaking, Major Hubbars was about to leave, but then Lieutenant Florenza stopped him.

"Florenza, is there anything else?"

Lieutenant Florenza spoke to Major Hubbards. "This is the first time I help you, and the last time, we have no chance next time."

Major Hubbars replied without heeding what Lieutenant Florenza said. "no problem."

Major Hubbards had seen too many such situations, and as long as it happened the first time, it would be much easier to deal with later.

A week later, Major Hubbars got the drawings he needed from Lieutenant Florenza, so he returned to the embassy overnight and arranged for a special person to be responsible for sending it back to Berlin.

The drawings were sent to engineer Josef Volmer, who was developing the German tank. Joseph Volmer was surprised by the technology of Romanian tanks. To this end, he substantially modified his design based on Romanian drawings. And on January 28, 1917, the first German tank was developed. This tank is still named AV7 tank by Germany, but compared with the previous life, this tank is not a 32-ton monster, but an 18-ton excellent tank (relatively speaking).

Relying on Romanian drawings, this AV7 tank has a strong Romanian origin. Compared with Romanian tanks, Germany is much better equipped with weapons. Germany has historically had a high interest in mounting artillery on tanks, and this time too, this AV7 is loaded with a Russian 57 naval gun, this time just on a turret. Unlike Romania, which has only two machine guns, Germany has installed 4 Maxim machine guns this time (one in the turret, one in the front and one in the left and right.).

Compared with Romania's two 80-horsepower diesel engines in terms of power, Germany directly uses two Daimler inline 4-cylinder water-cooled gasoline engines in the original history, with a maximum power of 100 horsepower. This gives it a speed of 15 kilometers per hour on the battlefield and 25 kilometers per hour on the road. The AV7 in history is not its opponent at all, and the German military is quite satisfied with it.

The German government has not forgotten the heroes of this incident, Ambassador Baslober and Major Haberts, who were awarded the Second Order of the Red Eagle respectively to express their achievements. In the eyes of the German government, the merits of the two men are sufficient to meet this standard.

The two people who were awarded the medal were of course very excited, and another embassy official, Counselor Masnow, was not envious either, because his big fish was about to be caught.
