Romanian Eagle

Chapter 218 Rising Nationalism (Part 2)

Edel temporarily solves the problem of the YMCA. It's just the problem that needs to be solved by him now. The two camps do everything possible to force Romania to participate in the war. This is the most urgent thing for him at present.

Eder was a little confused as to why the two camps persecuted Romania so much. In the history of the previous life, Eder seemed to remember that in World War I, except for Belgium and Greece, there was no country that was persecuted by both sides at the same time. So why is Romania like this? Is the position too critical, or some other reason, so that both sides are targeting Romania.

Eder does not know the reason, but in fact, there is a deep understanding of Romania in London, Paris and Berlin, that is, Romania wants to speculate in this war. In fact, there are many countries that want to speculate, but Romania has seized a lot of interests by virtue of its position and export advantages.

This makes the big countries that are still fighting to the death very uncomfortable. Co-authoring, we are fighting to death for profit, you can watch the fun, and even eat a little secretly while we are not paying attention. The most important thing is that Romania's size is completely incomparable to the foreign powers. Even Italy, the weakest of the powers, has twice the economic output of Romania, not to mention Romania's population.

Which European power has a population of less than 25 million, so Romania, which seems to be a lot in other countries, has a population of 10 million, but it is actually far from reaching the standard. So in Eder's mind, both Transylvania and Bessarabia are the cornerstones of Romania's becoming a great power. In addition, Romania can seize territory from Austria-Hungary and Russia, which have been chaotic in recent years, so in Eder's view, it is completely impossible for Eder to become a big country with a population of less than 25 million, and Eder also prepared in this way.

Therefore, Romania's behavior among several small neutral countries is very prominent. It only takes a discerning person to see that Romania's armament preparation is different from other countries. Other countries don't pay as much attention to the military as Romania, and even joining the war is a model for the standing army to supplement the militia. In fact, the main reason is that the number of infantrymen with guns has increased, while the expansion of equipment such as artillery and machine guns has not been so much.

Romania is completely different. It is completely an expansion of the military establishment, and its technical arms and equipment are all upgraded together. Moreover, the news of Romania's military expansion cannot be concealed, and other countries are uneasy about the expansion of Romania's standing army to more than 400,000. Many related countries have secretly calculated that Romania invested one-third of its profits in the war into the army. This is not the performance of a neutral country, it is more like preparation before speculation.

Edel hadn't figured it out at first, and it was only in the office that he figured it out.

Edel, who fully understood, laughed at himself helplessly. "I didn't expect to expose my thoughts like this."

This is a lesson for Edel, let him not think that understanding the general trend of the world can make the most favorable choice. Other countries are not fools and will respond naturally based on Romania's response.

But now he needs to get the two sides to eliminate attention to Romania, then it is better to have other things to divert attention to Romania, but this can only temporarily alleviate the situation. It is not an easy task to get the two sides to dismiss Romania now.

Now Edel can only think of a way to solve this problem, and if it doesn't work, delay time. However, Eder's own plan to enter the war in 1918, it seems that Romania may not wait for that time.

But now Edel can only let the domestic atmosphere down first. For the two camps to force the palace, first of all, he needs to keep himself out of chaos.

So the day after Eder met with the YMCA executives, the Romanian media stopped focusing on promoting nationalism, and there was much less news about the oppression of Romanian people in Transylvania and Bessarabia. Instead, Romania's economic and national strength is equidistant from the comparison of various powerful countries. The media now want to tell the citizens that Romania is still weak and needs to continue to develop.

The YMCA, which mainly preaches fanatical nationalism, has also recently changed its style.

In its propaganda slogan, it has no longer been preached to the public, Romania must have Transylvania and Bessarabia. Instead, the slogan has been changed to ease the people's high expectations for the government.

Stimulated by the news brought back by the chairman Jan Uskov, the senior leaders of the YMCA have adopted measures to stop radical actions at this stage. Of course, there are people who are not going to give up, and that is the Minister of Propaganda Carl Mooreley. He still has no idea of ​​changing the table. After a night of persuasion by the senior leaders of the YMCA, it did not have the slightest effect to make him give up.

Carl Morley has always stubbornly believed that the love of Romania at the top of the YMCA is not pure, but has metamorphosed into the same self-concern as other bureaucrats. The leadership of the YMCA has completely given up on letting this fanatical nationalist, but they are reluctant to give up his excellent propaganda and can only continue to keep him in the YMCA. But it would still be inappropriate for the propaganda minister to let him do the job, so they have another candidate, the former propaganda minister Bodibiba. And Karl Morley is still in the propaganda department, but can only be a deputy minister who does nothing.

It's just that they didn't know that Karl Morley hadn't slept all night. With heavy dark circles under his eyes and a haggard face, he was sitting on the bed in his apartment drinking wine. There were several empty wine bottles on the ground, and the whole person showed a clear sense of baldness.

In Karl Morley's mind, the senior members of the YMCA are now rotten, and they are no different from other politicians. They are all political creatures fighting for power and profit. And he Morley is the ideal of the Romanians wholeheartedly, but he is not a fool, knowing that his own opposition has no effect. Even though he had been against it yesterday, the senior leaders of the YMCA who were fascinated by the seats in the parliament quickly reached an agreement. It will stop the propaganda of nationalism, and it will also help the government to suppress the desire of the people for unity.

Now Karl Morley is confused and doesn't know why, His Majesty Edel, whom he thought would save Romania, would reject his proposal. This made him feel that the whole person was very bad, and he needed to think hard about whether his previous decision was correct. Of course, the scope of his thinking is only whether it is appropriate to place hope on other people. Karl Morley does not think that his goals are also a problem.

There is no problem with the purpose, only the means seem to need to be adjusted. However, when Karl Morley didn't think about a new way out, he didn't plan to leave here. Now he still needs the strength of the Youth Association.
