"Is the prime minister gone?"

Eder asked the foreign secretary beside him.

"I personally put him on the plane early this morning and left on the plane."

In fact, if it hadn't been getting late yesterday, Chamberlain would have wanted to fly away immediately. However, after a night's rest, the old Englishman couldn't wait to leave on a plane in the morning. As for the reason for leaving, Eder didn't have to guess, he must have gone to consult with French Prime Minister Daladier.

However, no matter how much it was discussed, Eder's attitude would not change, Romania needed the northern territory of Greece, which would not only allow the government to add a political share to the Bulgarians, but also the navy urgently needed the port of Thessaloniki. It is also the only Mediterranean port that Romania currently has access to.

And in order to gain a strategic advantage of freedom before the outbreak of war, Eder also had the ambition to this port.

However, although Eder thought so, he could not stand the fact that others could see it clearly, such as the foreign secretary around him, who was worried that Romania was using this to make enemies with Britain and France.

"Your Majesty, is it too tough to deal with British mediation this time?"

Seeing that Foreign Secretary Costel was so worried about the possible overreaction of Britain and France, Eder knew that this was not just his attitude, but a large number of people. Although Romania is currently developing well, it is also a well-known country in the world. However, the accumulation of power from Britain and France for hundreds of years cannot be eliminated so easily.

Even in later generations, the national strength of the motherland was second only to that of the United States, but many people still believed that Europe and Japan were strong.

Of course, unlike later generations, there is now a most direct solution to this problem. Victory would have dispelled the fear of Britain and France, although this would have required Eder's guidance.

But now the Foreign Secretary's words, Eder can't answer like that.

"Kostel, our country needs ports in the Mediterranean, the benefits of which you should be clear. In yesterday's meeting with Chamberlain, I had the feeling that Britain and France would make concessions to us, as long as we did not slacken. ”

"Also currently in the Thracian region of Greece, the Bulgarians, encouraged by the gathering of our troops at the front, broke out in the cities of Thessaloniki, Xanthi and other cities in the region."

Eder was told that he was the work of the intelligence services, and long after Eder became king of Bulgaria, Holmunkmann, who had been instructed, began to lay pawns in the region and finance the political forces in the region.

And now it's time to pay off, with tens of thousands of protests erupting in Xanthi alone. Carrying flags of the United Kingdom of Romania and Bulgaria and shouting slogans for return, these men marched in front of the city hall.

Thessaloniki, on the other hand, was even larger, numbering nearly 50,000 people, and like Xantsi, they all carried the flag of the kingdom and shouted slogans.

And in the face of these demonstrations and protests, the Greek government did not dare to suppress them at all. On the one hand, there was pressure from the Romanian Chen soldiers, and on the other hand, there were warnings from Britain and France.

Because Britain and France had warned Greece before this, asking it not to provoke Romania, otherwise Britain and France would stop the mediation work. And in the face of the warnings of Britain and France, even the dictator Metaxas did not dare not listen. Therefore, the Greek government is tied up, and it is even more vigorous in protests.

"But these do not give much consideration to Britain and France."

It is clear that Foreign Secretary Kostel believes that these protest marches cannot influence British and French decision-making.

Faced with the Foreign Secretary's words, Eder replied with a shake of his head. "I know that this is just a way for me to test the attitude of Britain and France. And my personal envoy should be in Italy. ”

Eder's words surprised Kostel, for His Majesty had not consulted with him about the matter at all. This made him feel a little wary, did his previous remarks make this majesty feel uneasy about himself?

"Don't worry, it's just a personal visit to ask Italy to support us."

Eder was right, it was a private visit, but this time the private had something else to say. Eder's personal envoy, Holsad, presented Mussolini with a gift.

Mussolini, who was in Rome, was looking at this gift, a map of Albaria. Eder intended to support the Italian occupation of Albania in exchange for Italy's support for Romania.

Italy's ambitions for the Balkans have always been very strong, and Italy had been actively involved in Balkan affairs before World War I, but due to the exclusion of Austria-Hungary and Russia in the region, Italy had no chance of getting involved.

Shortly after the end of World War I, Mussolini, who had just come to power at the time, took advantage of the killing of his general Enrico Tellini in Greece to provoke a dispute and occupy the Greek island of Corfu. However, due to the intervention of the League of Nations and the lack of strength of Italy, the final result was that Italy abandoned the island with reparations from Greece.

And now Eder put that opportunity in front of Mussolini.

Glancing at the map, Mussolini looked up and asked about the envoy in front of him. "Mr. Horsad, are you saying that Romania fully supports our country in acquiring Albania?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister, My Majesty Eder believes that the Balkans are now too disorderly to have so many disputes. And it is also very beneficial for our country to hope that its friend Italy will intervene here. ”

Mussolini smiled at such rhetoric. "Isn't your country currently exerting influence in the Balkans, how can it need our help."

"Your Excellency, our country's focus has always been on Ukraine, and the dispute with Greece is also due to pressure from the former Kingdom of Bulgaria. You also know that there are a large number of Bulgarians living in Macedonia and Thrace, and we must protect them. ”

Mussolini's heart was moved by the words of the envoy of Holsaard, and the two most important countries in Italy were picking their prey, and Italy should not sit idly by, thinking of this, he stood up.

"The Greek government has always been a bunch of villains who have gone too far with the Bulgarian population in the country. As a responsible Power, Italy fully supports Romania's legitimate interests. ”

Mussolini's words put Horsad's mind at ease. This leader is really as His Majesty said, he loves to be greedy for small things.

While Eder was taking care of Italy, the Germans also made new moves. At present, Hitler openly declared that he would not hesitate to fight the Czech Republic for the sake of the Soviet Union. And he is not only saying this, but also doing so, massively massing troops on the German-Czech border, and at the same time drawing up a "green plan" for an invasion of the Czech Republic.

With Germany's posture of going to a big war, Britain and France couldn't sit still at all. In addition to the previous mobilization posture of Romania, Britain and France, who felt that their country was going to be dragged into a big war by these two small countries, urgently negotiated and came to a result, that is, to arrange all related countries together to discuss and discuss.

Germany and Romania agreed with this, and the decision was made to get the countries together for talks, and Munich was to be the venue for the talks, at Hitler's insistence. As a result, the heads of state of Britain, France, Italy, Germany, and Romania will negotiate a peace in Europe in the place where Hitler was born.

As for the Czech Republic and Greece, which triggered the two crises, they are waiting for the outcome of the negotiations. At the same time, the Soviet Union, as an important force in Europe, was completely ignored by Britain and France, which made Stalin, who paid close attention to it, very unhappy.

Well, now the world is watching Munich, hoping that the leaders of the participating countries will come up with a result.
