The latest website: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, our country's attention to Romania is very obvious. Our country is willing to shrink its influence in the Balkans only to Slovenia, and we will open up Slovakia to allow Romanian goods to enter. In addition, our country also We are willing to assist Romania with 50,000 tons of special steel and a batch of tungsten alloy cutter heads. At the same time, my country also recognizes that your country has diplomatic priority over Greece, Yugoslavia and Turkey. Of course, if we fight against the Soviet Union in the future, we fully recognize Romania's oath of sovereignty over Ukraine. "

Inside the prime minister's office, German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop was speaking out on his terms. I saw that after he finished speaking in one breath, a sense of exhaustion came to his heart, and he picked up the coffee and took a sip.

These days, he was exhausted, and the competition with the Polish Foreign Minister Colonel Baker made him not dare to relax. The negotiation has also changed from a hint to a blatant statement, and various conditions are completely put on the table for negotiation. This rough style made Ribbentrop a little uncomfortable at first, but now practice makes perfect.

There is no way that the current situation is very unfavorable to Germany. German executives, including the head of state, generally believe that if Romania falls to Poland, then Germany’s request for the Polish corridor can only be postponed, because Germany cannot face Luo Bo two at the same time. country's military strength.

As for Britain and France, the wise heads of state have already seen its essence, and this time Britain and France will retreat like the previous Austrian and Czech crises. Because the people of both countries don't want to fight at all, and the German people have enough confidence in breaking this damn Versailles system.

However, in the face of Poland and Romania, Hitler did not dare to do anything. Especially in the face of Romania, because he found that his previous judgment may have been wrong, Romania's mobilization was not for the recovery of the former Bulgarian territory.

Because Romania had not disbanded the 500,000 troops mobilized by Greece before, but continued to strengthen its huge army, which was already one of the best in Europe (currently Romania has 1.57 million troops, only less than the Soviet Union, and Britain, France, and Germany have not yet gone to war, The army was not mobilized on a large scale, and the size of the army is not as large as Romania, which has already begun to mobilize).

And Romanian factories are still producing a steady stream of arms to arm the army. This made Hitler, who knew a little about Romania, feel a bit of a bad breath. So before Romania did not make a statement, he had no idea whether to continue to be tough on Poland. It's not just that he has no bottom, the German high-level and military are even more unconfident about it.

Because the blitzkrieg that Germany has been rehearsing for so long has not been fully demonstrated. In the previous Russo War, although Romania used it once, it was only used in a local war, and the distance was not long (less than 300 kilometers). This is not convincing. Although Guderian is confident, there are still different opinions at the top in Germany.

Therefore, many people now express doubts about whether Germany can defeat Poland in a short time.

Not to mention adding a Romanian. If Hitler had forcibly ordered an attack on Romania, allied with Poland, the German opposition would have likely shaken its foundations.

Therefore, Germany is bound to win the diplomatic win over Romania this time. However, although Germany has a tendency to never give up, it does not mean that Romania can offer prices at will, because Germany still has something to prepare. But this is a last resort, because it is enough to plunge Germany into an even bigger vortex.

Ribbentrop's exhaustion of the negotiations also reflects the current state of affairs between the two countries to win over Romania.

Due to the rivalry between the two countries, the conditions set by the two countries are also rising. Ribbentrop had already made clear the conditions given by the Führer before, and the conditions given this time were re-sent from Berlin after negotiation.

As for Prime Minister Mihalakai, who was sitting across from him and listening, Ribbentrop knew without looking. He must have smiled and said that sentence politely. We need to discuss the conditions of your country, and I will give you an answer later. .

"As for your country's conditions, we need to discuss it, and we will give you an answer later."

Sure enough, Ribbentrop was not disappointed, and Prime Minister Miharakai really said this again.

But this time Ribbentrop didn't intend to leave immediately, and he suddenly said with a serious expression.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I am tired of such negotiations. Now I will add one last clause to this condition, if your country forms a closer alliance with our country, then my country is willing to support your country in the acquisition of Western Galicia. I know your country The country has always been very eager for this land, but in view of the difficult relationship with Poland, this time my country can help your country to fulfill such a wish."

This time Ribbentrop stood up to leave without waiting for Prime Minister Mihalakah to answer. But thinking of something, he stopped. I saw him turn around and say something. "By the way, this is the final condition of our country, and it will not be changed again."

After speaking, Ribbentrop strode away.

He was fed up with such endless price increases, so he simply finished the conditions. If it didn't work, he could only think about the next trip to Moscow. Although he also hates the Communists, it is not impossible to take advantage of them when necessary. It is believed that Stalin was also very eager for Western Ukraine, and he could lure the greedy polar bear with Lviv, the pearl of Eastern Galicia, as bait.

Thinking of this, Ribbentrop felt better, and the grievances he received in Bucharest were swept away. Although the consequence of doing so is to become an enemy of the world. But as a last resort, why can't Germany do this. Anyway, they have had enough of the humiliation they suffered in Versailles after their surrender, and they are willing to make a deal with the devil in order to save all this.

After Ribbentrop left, Prime Minister Miharakai couldn't help but wrinkle his forehead. He heard deep resentment from Ribbentrop's tone, and it was obvious that the late diplomatic breakthrough had made the Foreign Minister a little annoyed.

This made the Prime Minister hesitant about whether to use this method or not. And whether the words of the Foreign Minister Ribbentrop were really old-fashioned, or whether it was a diplomatic strategy, made it difficult for him to make a decision.

Maybe it's time to ask your Majesty's opinion?

After thinking of this, he picked up the phone. "Pick up His Majesty Edel for me, and say I need to ask His Majesty's opinion if I have something."

No way, for the uncertain Prime Minister Miharakai, it would be good to seek His Majesty's opinion. Although such a habit is not good, such a major event concerning Romania still requires the consent of His Majesty.
