In fact, Luschel's suggestion and Pichon's proposal are both for the future of the country, but Luschel is for the interests of France after the war. Because Luschel believed that the Allies had no hope of winning after the United States entered the war, so he had to plan ahead for the situation after the war.

And Pixiong is for the interests of France now. He believes that France's losses are too great now, and it is a bit of putting the cart before the horse to consider the post-war period. It is necessary to reduce France's losses before taking into account the post-war period. The most important thing now is to let other countries share France's losses, so the two views will appear to be different. However, this needs to see which situation is more critical for Britain and France at present.

The two men's proposals were also debated at the meeting, with both sides' views being for national considerations, which also caused debate among cabinet members who supported their respective views. Prime Minister Clemenceau, who presided over the meeting, looked at his cabinet members with a headache, but fortunately, he was still in control of the scene. However, careful attention also found that the members of the cabinet who supported Foreign Minister Pi Xiong had the upper hand, which also had a lot to do with the loss of France.

"All right."

Clemenceau, 76, knocked on the table to get everyone to notice him, and he was ready to end the debate.

"Members of the Cabinet, I know your love for France. But pulling Romania into our camp is the primary factor now, so we need to talk about this topic. And we don't have much time, don't know when Romania will succumb to Allied pressure, so we can't waste our energy and time on other things, let's get to the point now."

After Clemenceau finished speaking, all the cabinet members knew his point of view, and it seemed that His Excellency the Prime Minister agreed with the suggestion of Foreign Minister Pichon. Now that the Prime Minister has made his own decision, cabinet members who have other ideas can only accept the Prime Minister's preparations.

Clemenceau saw that the cabinet members had no voice against him, so he spoke to the Minister of Foreign Affairs Pichon. "With regard to the conditions on Romania, our attitude is that we have to pull it into the camp to relieve our pressure. This has to be felt by our allies."

Pichon nodded to Clemenceau. "I will put forward our views to Balfour on this point, and I believe that the British side will seriously consider our views."

Pixiong's words made Clemenceau feel the same, and young people in his family were also called up to the army. "Yeah, the French lads are on the battlefield, we need to get them back a little more from this hell."

Pedestrians in London in winter are also much rarer, which is due to the influence of the three-year war. The people, who were passionate and full of fanaticism before the war began, have calmed down in the letters of death.

Most young adults in London now join the military or work in military-related industries, which has led to a serious underutilization of other factories in the UK. Fortunately, British shipping has remained smooth. Although the infinite submarine warfare has caused great losses to merchant ships, it has been slowed down according to the strong shipbuilding capabilities of the Allied countries. The only downside is that ordinary people have a harder time in war, especially in winter when they need enough necessities like clothing and food.

However, this is only a problem among ordinary people. It is not a problem for the wealthy, especially Prime Minister David George, who is in charge of the British Empire. Now he is negotiating the terms of Romania's membership with cabinet members.

"Guys, I think Romania's requirements need to be lowered a little more."

The speaker is Balfour, the Foreign Secretary, who was prime minister from 1902 to 1905, and who was 70 years old because of the early death of his lover in his youth. He was expressing his views in a powerful way. In later generations he would be better known for proposing a Jewish homeland in Palestine. It's just that this point of view has not been raised yet.

But he is already brewing.

Balfour's views were dissenting in the cabinet, and Lord Milner, who was in charge of the army, immediately opposed it. "But by doing this, is there a guarantee that Romania will join us. If it joins the Alliance, it will be difficult for the boys in France. I can't let these soldiers who serve the British Empire be wasted like this."

As the Governor of South Africa after the Boer War, Lord Milner took over as Minister of War shortly after World War I. Of course, he was responsible for the British soldiers who were killed in France and Germany, so he immediately raised his objections.

Facing the opposition of the War Minister, Balfour gave his explanation. "Of course I know that Romania's participation will reduce the pressure on our front, but it will also require Romania to come up with a reasonable solution."

Balfour took out a map of the Balkans, pointed to the location of Romania on it, and the dyed claim territory and said to the other members. "Look, the territory that Romania is asking for has exceeded its existing territory. This is completely a lion's opening. Moreover, Romania does not compromise on these conditions, and has no intention of reducing it at all."

Many cabinet members looked at Balfour's map of the Balkans, and it was true that Romania's claim was larger than the existing one, and they began to talk one after another.

They did not suppress Germany to give other countries a chance to grow and develop. Even if it was given, it needed to be given by the British Empire and could not be demanded by itself. This is the confidence of being the number one power in the world. Obviously, Romania is a bit too open and presumptuous, which makes the British face a little uncomfortable, which is also what Eder, who made this plan, did not take into account.

Because it comes from the 21st century, when the British Empire was more of a joke, Eder took Britain a lot when formulating this plan. So let these old rivers and lakes who are in the political arena see through Romania's purpose at a glance. France has to agree to this plan because of the huge loss, but the United Kingdom is not so easy to accept.

While the cabinet members were discussing, a voice sounded. "I think Romania is asking for too little, we should give them something more."

The sound of this voice immediately quieted the cabinet members who were discussing, and a slightly fat person stood up and looked at the other cabinet members, repeating it again. "I repeat. I think we are giving too little and need to give Romania more territory."

The words of this chubby cabinet member caused an uproar at the scene, and this person became the focus of attention for a while, and Prime Minister George, who presided over the meeting, couldn't help but teach a lesson. "Churchill, do you know what you're talking about?"
