Chapter 688: The Three Axes of Europe (4)
"Yes, Your Excellency. Romania wanted to bring in these Jews to supplement the lack of labor in Romania. ”
Now that he was pointed out by Hitler, Eder also generously stated his request. And his words silenced Hitler and Mussolini.
It stands to reason that Eder's request would not only purify the atmosphere in their country, but also help them solve the cost of detention, and the two of them should be very happy to agree. It was true that Eder had said, but there was something he didn't say. That is, in this anti-Judah, in addition to the country reaping a lot of benefits, it also allowed many powerful people to benefit a lot from a certain one.
As for the Jews who are currently plagued by anti-Semitism, those who have the money and ability have long since left, while the remaining ordinary Jews have no choice but to be stranded in Germany because they have no money and no way.
Eder was targeting these people, ordinary Jews who were basically no different from the rest of the people, workers, peasants, teachers, and other workers from all walks of life. However, due to ethnic divisions, they have been classified as targets for discrimination. At present, Germany mainly allows them to leave on their own or take them into custody.
And if these ordinary people want Germany and Italy to let them go, it is simply impossible not to give them sufficient benefits. The main thing is that the base is too large, and there are certain concerns for Germany and Italy about accepting it by Romania. And while these people are in captivity, they are also earning benefits for both countries.
Free labour, regardless of the use of it, is simply a perfect example of exploitation, so a layer of vested interests quickly formed in both countries. Hitler and Mussolini were either part of this vested interest, or they were not able to touch Romania's interests.
Facing the silent two, Eder was mentally prepared. Perhaps before Romania made a request, Germany and Italy felt more of a burden (free labor) to the Jews. But now that Eder has spoken, then this becomes a bargaining chip for both countries.
Everyone is a qualified politician, and now Romania is interested in Jews, so make an offer.
Naturally, Eder would not wait for Hitler and Mussolini to find out their conscience and speak directly. "One thousand lei alone, our country is willing to gather these Jews at the cost of a thousand lei each. In addition, if you wish, our country is willing to pay in kind, including weapons and equipment, which can be sold to you at a fair price. ”
Eder's words made Hitler and Mussolini heartbroken. Because if they gave these Jews to Romania they could get what they needed and what they needed, they had no reason to refuse the same conditions. Not to mention that Romania still has a lot of good things, and the two of them also know it.
"There is no problem, my country can agree to your request."
"There are no problems in our country either."
The answers of the two were indeed not expected by Eder, who would refuse something of interest.
And Edel didn't bring these Jews here to do good. Although it can be regarded as helping them out of the sea of suffering, these Jews also have to work hard for the cause of Romania, and what 996 is a blessing will become the norm for them, and everyone will contribute to the cause of Romania.
Paying billions of lei for these millions of Jews will not be paid in full by Romania. The Jewish Council would also pay more than $50 million, but that would only be Eder's payment. When the time comes, every Jew who comes to Romania will have to carry a debt of three thousand lei, and until he has paid these debts, he will work hard for Romania.
And those who love don't have to think about it to know that the two countries will definitely not ask for funds, but will choose equipment. Romania, on the other hand, has gradually shifted to a wartime economy model, which can definitely supply equipment for both countries.
For example, the largest tank production plant in Romania, the Lviv Tractor Factory, which designs and produces 120,000 tractors a year, although it is not as good as the Stalingrad Tractor Factory in the Soviet Union, it is also famous in Europe. At present, the plant has switched to the production of tanks, and thanks to the efforts of the director of the plant, Sodaval, the plant has produced 45 tanks per day (12 R10 light tanks, 26 R20 medium tanks, 7 R30 heavy tanks).
There are a lot of factories like the Lviv tractor factory, which is one of the benefits of the Romanian government's control of these enterprises, which can immediately adjust production at the slightest order. Moreover, Romania's stockpiling of weapons to expand its preparations for war began very early, because according to the military's offer of weapons that can be used by three million people, 80% of the orders have been completed. The fiery state of the military industry also affected
Of course, the topic of Jews is only the first thing to do in this trilateral consultation, and the really important issues are still to come.
However, the three of them were very happy to be able to reach an agreement before. And it's still a win-win-win situation, so even better.
After the dinner that day, Mussolini immediately summoned his son-in-law to his side. "Negotiations between our country and Germany need to be accelerated."
"What's wrong?"
Curious that his father-in-law's attitude suddenly changed so quickly, Ziano was very curious.
Mussolini immediately stated what Eder had just said about Greece, as well as Romania's decision to accept Jews.
Mussolini naturally trusted his son-in-law very much and told him everything he knew.
After listening to the words of his father-in-law Mussolini, Ziano said after thinking for a while. "While the occupation of part of Greek territory will expand our influence in the Mediterranean, we need to take into account the feelings of Britain and France. We are no better than Germany and Romania, our country is the weakest of the three countries, and we would better wait and see unless we receive military assistance from both countries. ”
It is clear that Ziano has a very clear understanding of Italy's strength and knows that it is impossible to do anything with Italy's strength alone. It would be better to wait for Romania to follow suit with signs of action, which would at least make Italy more profitable.
But while Ziano had a good idea, it was clear that Mussolini didn't see it that way.
"We can't rely on the help of other countries for everything, you look at Germany and Romania, as long as we gather troops on the border and create a tense atmosphere, Britain and France behind Greece will make them obediently meet our demands. Last time we didn't hold on ourselves, and I definitely won't do that this time. ”
It is clear that Mussolini was very confident in his army.
Hearing Mussolini's words, Ziano was immediately shocked. "It's too risky for my father-in-law to do this."
"Don't worry, I'm going to be mainly completely prepared, at least after Romania joins forces with us. Now our first task is to negotiate the German alliance, and preferably with Romania here. ”
It seems that Mussolini is very optimistic about the Dero league this time and intends to play the next game. Even if his son-in-law objected, he decided.
