Chapter 236 Romania's Temptation (Part 2)

Eder has long known about the Prime Minister's private contact with the Entente bloc. In fact, even Prime Minister Bretianu's contact with the Entente is also behind him. Moreover, the conditions proposed by the Prime Minister were passed to him through the Chief of General Staff, Pu Lie Shan.

Because Admiral Priest spoke to him quietly in his meeting with the Prime Minister some time ago. He would support Romania's participation in the war if the Allies could give the conditions east of the Tisza to Romania.

Prime Minister Bretianu was very surprised by the Chief of General Staff's statement. Anyone who has a preliminary understanding of the political situation in Romania knows that Admiral Prie is the king's spokesman in the army. Moreover, this general of Pu Lieshan is usually very cautious, and he never expresses his opinion on matters other than the army easily. If you can get the chief of staff to express his attitude, then it is obvious that someone is telling himself through his mouth. As for why you don't tell yourself, you need to comprehend it yourself.

However, Prime Minister Bretianu has a good understanding and quickly guessed the intention. This is because he does not want to disturb too many people, and this is mostly a test for the Entente. Then let the person standing behind you say it, because there will be no room for turning around.

That's why Prime Minister Bretianu asked his cousin to act as a liaison in person. At present, this kind of test is also very beneficial for Romania, because it can understand the attitude of the Entente countries towards Romania's participation in the war, and lay the foundation for future real negotiations.

In fact, after Romania revealed its intention to join the Entente. It was an unexpected surprise for the Allied Powers, who were already showing signs of fatigue from the war. However, the three countries also had different attitudes regarding the conditions for Romania's participation in the war.

As far as France is concerned with the German army in Verdun's life-and-death battle, they think they can continue to talk about Romania's conditions. If Romania could flank the German-Austrian underbelly, the war would have ended in a victory for the Allies.

And Russia is firmly opposed to Romania’s conditions. Unlike history, Romania’s conditions overlap with Russia’s conditions this time (in the Carpathian Mountains and parts of Galicia, and there are also parts of Banat’s conditions with Serbia. regions overlap). As a greedy polar bear, of course, he doesn't want someone to grab meat from his bowl. Therefore, Russia's request for Romania is that the conditions for the overlapping part must be revised.

As for Britain's conditions for Romania, it believed that Romania's ambitions must be suppressed and too generous conditions should not be given to it. The United Kingdom is considering the future post-war pattern. If Romania benefits too much from this war, then the Balkans will still not be peaceful.

After eliminating the different requirements of the three countries, they all agreed that they could continue to negotiate conditions with Romania. So the longest negotiation in World War I began, but no one in the Three Kingdoms thought of it.

Ambassadors of the three countries and Wentiller in Romania,

They became the liaison in the middle, and they kept passing on each other's conditions to their own governments.

And Edel, who was staying in the palace, was also paying attention to this because of the negotiation that he initiated.

"Your Majesty, this is an Entente condition from the Prime Minister."

The captain of the bodyguard, Carrust, put the negotiating content secretly obtained from the Prime Minister on Edel's table. It is said that it was obtained secretly, but the Prime Minister did it on purpose. This is the tacit understanding between Edel and the Prime Minister on this matter.

"Kalu, just leave it here."

After Edel raised his head and replied to his head guard, he continued to care about the family situation of the head guard. "Is Vimia feeling better?"

Carust told Edel truthfully. "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern. She is much better. The doctor said that she will be fully recovered in half a month."

This Vimia is Carust's wife, yes, our captain of the bodyguard is married. In the first two years, Edel saw that the captain of the bodyguard was still single, and he didn't care about his personal problems at all. So I mentioned it to my wife Sophie Marie and asked her to pay attention to whether there was a suitable girl for the captain of the guard.

Sophie Marie is also very keen on finding a wife for a captain of the bodyguard. She originally planned to match the personal maid Anna and Calust to date. However, neither of them had feelings for each other, so Sophie Marie could only find another way. At a court party, she discovered the gentle Vimia, so she introduced the two to each other, and the result was that Miss Vimia became the wife of the captain of the guard. It was only a while ago that Vimia had a serious illness, so Edel asked about it.

But Edel just asked with concern, and after getting the answer from the chief of guards, he picked up the conditions that the Allies gave to the Prime Minister and looked at it. Barnett area and Salishd of Crisana to the east of Sebis (now all of Timis County, all of Kalash County, east of Adela County, southeast corner of Bihor County). For the benefits now given by the Allies, Eder would not be satisfied if it was the final conditions for participating in the war. However, this is only the first concession from the Allied camp, and Eder thinks it can be negotiated.

This time, Edel hinted that the Prime Minister had his own considerations in testing the conditions of the Allied Powers. Because he wanted to know whether his many movements in Romania had affected the progress of World War I. If Germany suddenly exploded and crushed France on the Western Front, Eder's plans for Greater Romania would be in vain. But it seems that Britain and France are still the same as in the previous life, as always, withstood the German offensive on the western front.

This can be seen from the responses of the three countries to the Romanian conditions. If the war situation is critical, then the Three Kingdoms must agree to Edel's conditions without hesitation. Now negotiating with Romania because the conditions are too large, indicating that the three countries are confident to block the German offensive. This is also good news for Romania, after all, no one wants to join the war on an unfulfilled offer.

Now Edel thinks it's okay to continue talking, but it can be delayed for a while. Because so far, he hasn't figured out whether he should attack Red Russia.

Eder has been considering this issue in private, and the emergence of Red Russia can maximize the interests of Romania in World War I. But considering its strong organizational ability, World War II will also become a hurdle that Romania cannot overcome.

But in order to prevent the Red Russia from appearing, in terms of Romania's strength, it is necessary to use its milk-feeding power. This will prevent Romania from gaining enough interest in the first World War. This is sacrificing the interests of Romania to benefit the entire capitalist world, Eder is not so sentimental now.

Therefore, Edel is also undecided about the time to participate in the war. But now we can slowly discuss the conditions first. As for when Romania will join the war, we need to wait for Eder to make up his mind.
