Edel took the telegram and quickly scanned it. After reading it, he put away the telegram and ordered: "Don't go to the government, call Calust over."

It didn't take long for Carust to come over.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Looking at Carust in front of him, Edel's expression was a little gloomy. This made the head guard think that he suspected that some work was not done well, which made His Majesty angry.

But fortunately, Edel did not let the rough and restless Carrust wait for long, and Edel finally spoke. "Immediately send someone to investigate the Poles in the Galicia region. I will send a secret telegram to Admiral Salamick, and if these Poles in the region do anything bad, he will cooperate with you to carry out the action."

Edel's words made the chief guard feel that everything was serious, and he couldn't help asking, "What is the standard we can do?"

"There is no limit to the standard, as long as these Poles demonstrate and act immediately according to the first-level plan."

Edel's words made Carrust's heart tighten, but he knew what the first-level plan represented. This was the handling plan that was only needed when a rebellion occurred. This was also the first time that the plan was used since it was formulated.

It needs to be explained here that after Edel ascended the throne, in order to prevent various emergencies, three-level plans were set up. The three-level plan is a solution for the outbreak of small-scale public protests, mainly by the government. The second-level plan was written as a solution to the outbreak of large-scale popular protests, which will be dealt with by the government and the military. The first-level plan is when there is a hot issue, and the government’s reassurance efforts are no longer effective. The investigation finds that there have been rioting armed elements in the area. Only then can the first-level plan be used. The policy of the plan is to blockade the area to prevent its spread and flow, and then the army will destroy it with the cooperation of the intelligence department.

It's just that this time the plan is weird, but it is used on Ukrainian territory. Carrust has a hazy idea in his heart, but he must not dare to say this somewhat bold guess. So he replied immediately: "I personally lead the team there."

"Go."

After sending Calust away, Eder looked at the Galicia area on the map and said to himself: "I hope the situation I worry about will not happen, otherwise, the Poles, I will let you know the consequences. "

Yes, the telegram that Edel saw was the telegram from Prime Minister Bretianu that Poland wanted to take Galicia from Romania.

For Eder, who has seen the region as his own, the Poles are dying. In a situation where the Poles have the guts to provoke Romania when they have acquired a large area of ​​territory from Germany and the former Russia and will be hostile to them in the future,

It can only be said that the Poles are completely blinded by greed.

However, the investigation into Galicia will take time, and Eder is also concerned about Romania's economic recovery in addition to waiting for the results.

But Romania is currently turning around its current wartime economy, as evidenced by the massive cuts in the military and putting it back into the development economy.

However, this will take time, and at present, Romania's domestic industrial and agricultural production has not recovered significantly from the impact of the war. It can only reach 68% of the highest level (before the declaration of war on the Allies), which is also affected by the general mobilization of war.

However, the government is quite calm in this regard, because the development of the newly occupied territories will lead to the recovery of the Romanian economy. And there is another reason that everyone tacitly understands, that is, with the disintegration of Austria-Hungary, the defeat of Germany, and the discoloration of Russia, there has been a vacuum of interests in the Central and Southern Europe and the Balkans, which used to make them compete endlessly.

The strongest country in the region is Romania. Therefore, government departments generally believe that when Britain, France and Italy penetrate the region, Romania can also get a share of it.

However, Caraturi, Minister of Industry, also pointed out that the current Romanian economy is relatively single, mainly exporting strong products of food and its processing industry, oil and its chemical industry and vehicle manufacturing. And many other products still need to be imported.

Before Romanian territorial expansion, these industries were able to meet the continued development of the population and economy. But after the territorial expansion, these industries are somewhat powerless. At present, Romania needs more other industries to meet the continuous development of population and economy.

According to the latest statistics of Romania, its total domestic population has grown rapidly from 10.67 million before the war to 18.64 million. The main factor was Romania's capture of Transylvania, Eastern Moldavia (which had voted to join Romania), and Hungarian territories east of the Tisza River and east of the Transcarpathian Mountains. (Excluding Galicia, Odessa and other places that are still in Ukraine in terms of law.)

In fact, these seized territories do not currently belong to Romania legally. However, everyone from the people to the government ignored this, and public opinion kept claiming that the region had already belonged to Romania's new territory. This can be seen in the reckless expulsion of Hungarians by Romanian soldiers in the area, with complete disregard for the attitude of the Hungarians.

After this integration of the new territory (currently some of the new territories in Eder's heart), the current proportion of Romanian nationalities is; 76.2% are Romanians, then 12.6% Hungarians (but this nationality is being driven away, so it will be reduced) ; followed by 4.1% Bulgarians; 3.4% Ukrainians; the rest are Germans, Slovaks, Poles, Jews, Gypsies, etc.

From Romania's many actions on these territories, it can be seen that it is a must for this territory.

In order to fully develop the new territory and let the people in the region feel the dividends given by Romania, Calaturi also suggested that the government organize a geological exploration team to conduct a systematic exploration of the new territory.

In addition, the mining of coal, iron, gold and other minerals that have been discovered in Transylvania should also be invested in. However, the coal and iron in this area are of poor quality and not suitable for industrial use. However, for the prosperity of the region, Romania still intends to invest in mining, which can be regarded as full of sincerity to the people of Transylvania.

Eder agreed to Caraturi's suggestion. Let him do it, Romania needs someone of his talent.

In fact, Eder has been watching Karatuli, who has been active recently. However, he still supports the thoughtful minister.

Different voices are needed within the government. At present, Prime Minister Bretianu has too much prestige in the government and is not a good thing, and after winning this war, apart from himself and a limited number of military personnel, he is the one who will benefit the most. And the war is over, and there really needs to be a different voice from the government.

Edel was thinking about what happened after the war, when a squire hurried to him with a telegram.

"Your Majesty, this is a telegram from Budapest."
