"Minister Lomodan, you're still so hot."

When Lomodan appeared in front of him, looking at the much older Minister of the Navy in front of him, Eder couldn't help but complain. Of course, this is not that he is dissatisfied with the old general, but that Lomodan has achieved too well, so he can't bear to be too tired.

If it weren't for the fact that Japan's withdrawal from the naval treaty was too significant, he would not have planned to recruit it to Sofia. But I can't leave, so I can only let him come.

In the face of Edel's words of concern, Lomodan was still grateful. "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, but I'm fine, and I eat and sleep well. I don't know what Your Majesty has summoned me to do? ”

After seeing that Admiral Lomodan quickly turned the topic to work, Eder also put away his concern and said seriously. "I wonder what you think about Japan's withdrawal from the naval treaty?"

As the Minister of the Navy, of course, Lomodan would not have known about the big events that had an impact on this matter.

I saw him frowning and said. "It's going to be a bad time for us, and the Japanese are making a big mistake by saying that we don't join this naval treaty."

Faced with the old general's words, Eder also sighed. "Yes, if we don't join, we will be targeted by Britain and France."

Listening to Eder's words, Lomodan couldn't help but ask. "Then Your Majesty, do we still need to insist on the terms of negotiation?"

What Lomodan said, Eder also knew. Negotiations on Romania's accession to the naval treaty have been ongoing, although they have been stuck in the tonnage and caliber of capital ships.

According to Romania's requirements, the tonnage of the Romanian Navy should not be lower than that of Italy and France, but also reach a share of 175,000 tons, and the tonnage of aircraft carriers and other warships should be on par with it.

If Romania had complied with its demands, Romania would have become a member of the world's navy, and its lack of colonies would have made the Romanian navy even more deterrent.

And to meet such requirements, Romania can also build 2 battleships, 3 aircraft carriers, and a number of other small warships (the battleships that exceed the standard are all declared to have a standard displacement of 35,000 tons).

In the face of the Romanian lion's big mouth, both Britain and France expressed opposition, and France in particular reacted most violently. Because Italy's shipbuilding has already caused dissatisfaction on the part of France, if it is coupled with the fact that its quasi-ally Romania has also gained so much tonnage, how can France have influence in the Mediterranean.

The tonnage given by Britain and France is that Romania can only reach the tonnage of 145,000 tons of capital ships, while aircraft carriers and other warships give a share in this proportion.

On French terms, Romania was of course unwilling, and for this reason it argued that Romania needed to guard against the Soviet Union, and that it needed so much tonnage.

Britain and France retorted that this tonnage share was enough for Romania to suppress the Soviet Navy. And to allow Romania to build four battleships, it was not enough to suppress the USSR. Romania, on the other hand, argued that the Soviet Union was preparing to expand its navy, and that Romania needed to suppress it quantitatively.

In fact, due to the rapid growth of the Romanian navy, the Soviet Admiralty did submit a plan in 1933 to expand its navy in response to the Romanian threat. In this plan, the Soviet Navy was to build 6 battleships equipped with 406 caliber displacement of 35000 tons and 8 battlecruisers of 28000 tons.

Such a huge shipbuilding program not only frightened Comrade Father, but also the Romanian Navy. For this reason, Lomodan at that time strongly demanded that Romania start construction of the fourth battleship to deal with the possible threat of the Soviet Union.

However, Eder waited for the Soviets to start construction before Romania followed suit. Eder also did not know whether the Soviet Union would be stimulated by Romania to develop its navy aggressively.

However, based on its backward naval facilities and actual design capabilities, when the Soviet Union began to build battleships, Romania would have time to follow suit. Romania's construction and design capabilities for more than a decade were sufficient to deal with possible maritime threats from the Soviet Union.

However, in the face of Britain and France, Romania naturally changed its face. As if the Soviet naval program was about to begin, Romania had to have enough battleships to face the crisis.

Therefore, the negotiations between the two sides are stuck here, and neither intends to make concessions. And Edel is happy to stall for time, so naturally he will not be in a hurry about it.

But now, from Admiral Lomodan's words, Eder seemed to smell something new, so he couldn't help but ask. "What's wrong?"

When confronted with Eder's questioning, Lomodan explained why. "There has been a change of attitude on the part of the Italians, and they are now inclined to ask us to agree to the terms of the British and French."

Hearing Lomodan's words, Eder couldn't help but complain. "These Italians ......"

Italy also has no way now, and the war in Ethiopia, which is in full swing, is underway. The performance of the Italian army has lived up to Eder's expectations, and there is no good news yet. The angry Mussolini, the leader, did not know how many times he lost his temper at his chancellery, but it was useless to lose his temper, and the Italian Army just wouldn't give him a face.

And the current war has made Italy demand from Britain and France, so at this time it can only make concessions to Britain and France elsewhere. Unfortunately, negotiations on the Romanian Navy were included.

And the change in attitude towards Italy has made Romania a little blind in it. Because Romania had the support of Italy before, it had nothing to fear in the negotiations, and the attitude of Britain and France alone could not bring Romania to its knees.

And now, it is up to Romania to deal with it mentally.

Thinking that the treaty was not far off, Eder couldn't help but ask Lomodan's opinion. "What do you think about that?"

Eder's questioning made Admiral Lomodan know that his Majesty's attitude had softened. "Your Majesty, I think we can fight for it, if it doesn't work, we'll accept it."

Fighting for it again is just rhetoric, how can Britain and France insist on it for so long, how can they agree, and accepting it is the correct statement.

"Okay, do as you want."

Faced with this situation, Eder naturally followed the advice of this professional. Although Eder was eager for Romania to rush to build a wave of warships before World War II, considering the actual situation in Romania, he could only make careful calculations. The landlord's family has no surplus food.

At present, there are so many places in Romania that the construction of naval ships can only be built before the war. As for the kind of wealthy practice of the United States, Eder envied it, and he could not learn it.

After a moment of conversation, Edel adjusted his mind and said the main purpose of letting him come this time. "Your Excellency Admiral, the main reason I came to you this time is to ask, when do you plan to start building the aircraft carrier drawings prepared last time?"
