Romanian Eagle

When the British and French ambassadors were overwhelmed by the loss of Russian negotiating materials, German Ambassador Baslob and Austria-Hungary Ambassador Berley went to the Romanian Prime Minister's Office.

Among the terms given to Romania by Germany and Austria-Hungary, the Transylvania referendum really aroused considerable dissatisfaction in Vienna. Germany used the Venice region of Italy as a reward for Austria-Hungary agreeing to make this commitment, and after the war, Berlin had to side with Vienna on whether to agree to a referendum in Transylvania to quell Austria-Hungary's mood.

No, just after the two countries negotiated, the German and Austrian ambassadors came to the Romanian Prime Minister's Office to submit the conditions of the Allies. This time, Germany and Austria did not intend to directly look for King Eder, but planned to start with the government, first to arouse the national sentiment in Romania, and to put this rich condition in front of all Romanians. Germany and Austria did not believe that Romania could not agree. This is the naked conspiracy of the Allied Powers, and even if the Allied Powers know about it, there is no way to stop it.

"Don't the two ambassadors know what to do with me?"

After receiving requests from German and Austrian ambassadors to receive them, Prime Minister Bretianu did not know their reasons, but received them according to diplomatic protocol.

"Prime Minister Bretianu, these are the conditions we have prepared for Romania to join the alliance, let's take a look."

After meeting the Romanian Prime Minister Bretianu, the German ambassador, Baslob, handed him the conditions prepared for Romania.

"We Romania are not ready to join the camp, are you two mistaken?"

Of course, Bretianu, as the prime minister, would not accept this document, because he knew that if he accepted it, it meant that Romania did have the idea of ​​joining the war. But unfortunately, the Prime Minister's superb acting skills failed to deceive the German and Austrian ambassadors, because the information on the negotiations between the Entente and Romania has been mastered by them.

Ambassador Baslob said slowly after watching Bretianu's performance. "Your Excellency Prime Minister, although our conditions cannot allow you to obtain the territory east of the Tisza River, they are still very generous. Your Excellency may wish to take a look."

The words of Ambassador Baslobe made Prime Minister Bretianu's heart tremble, and a cold air rushed to the top of his head. Now he is full of thoughts that Deo actually knew about Romania's secret negotiations, and who leaked it out.

Looking at the shocked speechless Romanian Prime Minister, the German and Austrian ambassadors felt a lot of joy in their hearts. After Ambassador Baslob put the conditions offered by the Allies on the table, he gave Prime Minister Bretianu a meaningful look, because they knew that it was this Prime Minister who was secretly negotiating with the Allies.

It was not until Ambassador De Austria walked out that Prime Minister Bretianu reacted, and his performance all fell into the eyes of the Allies. But he can't care about the diplomatic faux pas, and now he needs to quickly find the king to discuss the harm to Romania.

…………

"That's how it is, Your Majesty."

Inside the palace, Prime Minister Bretianu told Edel what had happened. Hearing that the Allies had discovered that Romania was negotiating with the Entente, and even knew of Romania's demands, Eder was also bruised. At present, he has no good way to fool the past. The main reason is that Germany and Austria have already solved Russia on the eastern front, and now it is not too easy to free up their hands to settle Romania.

Because Germany and Austria have more than 3 million troops on the Eastern Front, even if they leave 100 to watch over Soviet Russia, there are more than 2 million that can be used in other directions. If so many troops are pressed against Romania, Eder can only go abroad to continue the war of resistance.

"Your Majesty, in this situation we can only agree to the conditions of the Allies."

After seeing that Edel did not speak, Bretianu, the prime minister, tentatively proposed. As an Anglo-French leader,

It was because he couldn't see the direction that he could say such a thing.

Prime Minister Bretianu does favor Britain and France, because he thinks that will help Romania. At present, according to the attitude of the German and Austrian ambassadors, it is impossible to delay, and they will not rest assured that a half-hearted country will be left behind, so this is estimated to be the last condition of Germany and Austria. If he refuses, it is estimated that the next time Ambassador Deo will bring a declaration of war.

In order to give weight to his rhetoric, the Prime Minister said to Edel looking at Deo's conditions. "Your Majesty, the conditions given by De'o this time are actually very good."

Seeing that Edel did not speak, the Prime Minister read out the terms of Deo. "At the time of joining the Allies, transfer the Transinia region to Romania. If Romania provides 400,000 troops, 2 million tons of grain, and 1.5 million tons of refined oil for the war, it will give its Odessa region as Compensation. And if Romania provides another 400,000 troops, 2.5 million tons of grain, and 2 million tons of refined oil for the war, the Vinnitsa region, except for the northeast, will also be given to Romania as compensation. In addition, after the war, it will be discussed with Austria-Hungary whether the Transnian regional referendum should remain in its country or join Romania."

Hearing the conditions stated by Prime Minister Bretianu, Edel smiled bitterly. It seems that the Allied countries have also taken great pains to win over Romania, and they are coercing public opinion to force Romania to join the Allied countries. It is estimated that the conditions given by the Allied countries will be widely circulated tomorrow. This time Romania has been suppressed and turbulent national sentiment will be high again.

In a hurry, Edel asked Prime Minister Bretianu. "Prime Minister, if the terms are made public, how many people in the government would support the terms to join the Allies."

Facing Edel's question, Bretianu knew its intention, and he answered truthfully. "It is estimated that half of the people will agree to join the Allied camp."

Edel breathed a sigh of relief when the Prime Minister continued. "Sixty percent of the remaining half are expected to be neutral. This is the condition of the Allied countries. If it is too bad, it is estimated that these neutral people in the government will support the Allied countries."

The Prime Minister's words made Eder also feel helpless. Romania and Germany are too closely linked economically, especially in the past few years, they have completely relied on orders from allied countries to live. If you don't know the direction of history yourself, then it is very possible to join the Allied countries to fight.

However, the government's movements are small matters, and now the most important thing is the army. Edel was planning to ask the guards to call the top of the army to find out, and this was a news.

"Your Majesty, the British and French ambassadors ask to see you."
