Romanian Eagle

Chapter 371 The Treaty of Odessa (Part 2)

Faced with the list of expenses given by Barnosk, Morakov signaled Lieutenant General Nomitov to check it out first. These troop costs are first checked by the chief of staff, which is also his specialty. The so-called cost of sending troops is actually compensation. Everyone understands this, but it is better to let the professionals squeeze the water first.

However, Morakov certainly would not accept the conditions for the Romanian lion to open his mouth. Therefore, according to international practice, Romania must also know Ukraine's conditions, so he said first: "I have heard the conditions given by your country, now let's talk about ours."

As the head of the Romanian delegation, Prime Minister Bretianu signaled: "Prime Minister, please speak."

After seeing that the Romanian representatives were all waiting for their own Ukrainian proposal, Prime Minister Morakov took out a copy of the terms drawn up by Ukraine and began to say: "According to our investigation, it is not entirely certain that this conflict is currently caused by me. The responsibility of the party, so we make a few suggestions."

"First; re-investigate the cause of this conflict. If it is our responsibility, then we will compensate Dork who was killed, and the amount can be negotiated between us. Second; Regarding the East Moldavia region We can hold a referendum according to the wishes of the people, but it requires third-party supervision. Both of us must not induce or threaten them. Thirdly, it is impossible for us to admit the cost of sending troops to your country. This dispute is not just me. The party has the responsibility, and so does your country, so we each bear our own military expenses. Fourth: After the peace talks are over and the treaty is signed, your country must withdraw from the Ukrainian territory. Moreover, our country is in good order, and we do not need your country to help us maintain law and order. "

After listening to Morakov's few Ukrainian conditions, Barnosk, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, couldn't help laughing, and then he joked: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, I think this war is like you have won. ."

Then he said unceremoniously, "This time the responsibility is entirely yours."

After speaking, he took out a copy of the documents he was carrying and put it in front of Morakov. "This is the testimony of your country's Ukrainian soldiers who harmed our Dork. This is enough to convince you."

It's not too simple to take a confession from a Ukrainian soldier who was controlled by Romania and deliberately framed it. Morakov glanced at the slanted confession written. He shook his head and said: "This is not counted. I think we must have an irrelevant third-party investigation before we can confirm it."

Seeing the stubborn Ukrainian Prime Minister, Prime Minister Bretianu stopped Barnosk, who still wanted to speak, and he directly said to him: "Mr. Morakov, there will be no third party in this peace talks. I am angry and bluntly, the current attitude of your side makes me feel that you have no sincerity in the peace talks. Since your understanding of the situation is not very clear, I suggest taking a day off before talking. The Ukrainian government is not in a hurry to reach an agreement. Maybe someone is willing to accept our terms. Whether this person is Denikin or the Soviet Russian government, it has little influence on us. I hope your Excellency better consider it clearly.

"

In the face of Prime Minister Bretianu's blatant threats, Morakov couldn't help but said angrily: "You are planning to threaten us."

Bretianu, who stood up and was about to leave, shook his head and replied: "This is not a threat, just a piece of advice. In addition, the army is not satisfied with the terms we have drawn up. They have been shouting that they want to drink the Dnieper River, but they are We suppressed it. But now it seems that some of their words are still very reasonable."

After speaking, Prime Minister Bretianu left with the Romanian negotiators, leaving only Morakov and his party to look at each other. They did not expect the Romanian negotiators to be so hard-hearted, negotiating and negotiating. Isn't this a slow talk? How can these Romanians be so temperamental as if they had taken gunpowder?

Tolskov, the foreign minister of Transparent People since the beginning of the negotiations, said angrily: "These Romanians are too barbaric. They don't understand peace talks."

Morakov ignored Tolskov's words. People who don't even know basic diplomatic skills don't know why President Kolbachev values ​​him. Taking him as a confidant is simply useless.

At this time, Finance Minister Jikole said worriedly: "What should we do now, if these Romanians really don't talk about it, it will be a disaster for us."

Facing the words of his confidant, Morakov was not easy to answer in front of everyone. However, he is also a little strange about the Romanian's behavior, but the current priority of the party is to find a way to come up with a feasible solution. Thinking of this, he resisted and asked Lieutenant General Nomitov, who was still looking at the cost list, "Are these lists a big problem?"

Lieutenant General Nomitov, who looked a little headache, replied: "It's not a big problem, but these Romanians definitely don't spend so much."

While Morakov was discussing with his delegation, Prime Minister Bretianu, who walked out of the municipal building, was also communicating with Barnosk.

"These Ukrainians are quite unfamiliar with the rules of diplomacy. You also saw in the negotiation that a prime minister kept talking to us, and other people didn't respond much at all. So for these Ukrainians who don't know much about the rules of diplomacy, there is no need to be like Talk to other countries. Put pressure directly on them and let them know we are very dissatisfied.”

"Does this really work?"

In the face of Prime Minister Bretianu's words, Barnosque still has some trouble turning the corner.

"If you don't believe me, wait until the next negotiation."

In the face of Prime Minister Bretianu, who smiled inscrutable, Barnosque said a question he had always wanted to ask: "Prime Minister, why do we ask for such a high amount of compensation, and also ask for no compensation to be completed, We will not withdraw our troops. Such a request will not help us improve relations with Ukraine in the future.”

In his view, this condition is completely a copy of Prussia to France after the Franco-Prussian War. The only difference is that it is completely impossible for Ukraine to come up with such a large sum of money in a short period of time like France. But the effect is also the same, which is entirely to play a role in the rapid deterioration of the relationship between the two countries. The compensation for this is really not worth it.

In the face of Barnosque's question, Prime Minister Bretianu didn't know how to answer. In fact, he also wanted to ask Edel, yes, this request was forced by Edel. However, he could not tell the Prime Minister that it would not be long before Soviet Russia denied the Treaty of Brest signed with Germany. Then the country of Ukraine, like an isolated little girl, was humiliated by the two big men of the Red Army and the White Army, and finally forced to join the Soviet Union and become its important allied country. It was not until decades later that it regained independence after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

At present, Romania does not have enough strength to win and hold the entire Ukraine. It is true that the coal resources of Dongwu are a natural heavy industry base, but it is too far from Romania, and Romania does not have enough population to assimilate the region. So he can only hit the idea of ​​Western Ukraine.

However, for the Ukrainian government to agree to divide nearly one-third of its territory to Romania, this is completely impossible. That's why he came up with one, and let him accept the amount of compensation that Ukraine couldn't come up with in a short time. And it also stipulates that Romania will not withdraw its unreasonable demands without compensation.

In order to set this amount, Eder also asked the intelligence department to check the financial situation and economic situation of Ukraine over the years.

So in the face of Barnosque's inquiry, Prime Minister Bretianu could only use one sentence: "This is a secret, you will know later." To fool the past.

Faced with the meaning of Prime Minister Bretianu's words, Barnosk knew that he should not inquire. Then they went back to their residence to recharge their batteries and prepare for the next day's peace talks.

The next day, when they negotiated with the Ukrainian delegation again, it was obvious that their attitude had softened a lot. It appears that Prime Minister Bretianu's approach worked yesterday, giving them confidence in the negotiations. Originally, the negotiation was a negotiation between you and me to make compromises and reach a consensus. In the face of Ukrainians who can't stand upright, everyone knows that now is the time to let the other side submit.

So next, they took advantage of the lack of confidence of the Ukrainians to pursue and fight. After nearly a month of negotiations, they finally got the Ukrainian government to sign the peace treaty. However, in order to get Ukraine to sign the name, Romania still made a lot of concessions, but did not retreat in a few key points.

The final signed terms are as follows. First; this conflict was caused by a misunderstanding between the two countries, and for Dork, who was killed in the conflict, the Ukrainian government gave compensation for humanitarian reasons.

Second; with regard to the East Moldavia region, the two sides respect the wishes of the people in the region, and after 15 days, let the local residents decide to vote on the ownership of the region.

Third; as the initiator of the armistice, the Ukrainian government will give Romania 2 billion lei in reparations. The indemnity will be paid in foreign exchange, precious metals, minerals, grains, etc., of which grains and minerals will be subject to 92% of the international market price.

Fourth; for the Romanian army currently in Western Ukraine, it can be temporarily stationed locally. However, you must leave immediately after Ukraine has paid Romania's indemnity, no later than 7 days after the payment is completed.

fifth;…………

…………

In the end, the two countries made concessions to each other. However, judging from the content of the terms, Ukraine has suffered a big loss. But who made them perform too poorly on the battlefield, and no one in the world can help them speak, so they can only bear it.

Now the two documents signed with the names of the heads of their respective delegations will be brought back to their respective countries. When the political heads of the two countries sign, it will represent that the disputes between the two countries have been resolved.

If this is the case, who knows.
