Chapter 684: Bucharest Diplomatic War (Final)

Prime Minister Mihalakai was reporting to Eder on several meetings with German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop. Eder listened carefully, interrupting the Prime Minister's speech from time to time to ask for details.

In addition to the two of them, there were also Deputy Prime Minister Kerstev, Foreign Minister Kostel, military representative General Fereit and others.

These people were listening intently, and no one dared to interrupt the Prime Minister's words. Because the Prime Minister's report is the most important thing for Romania, everyone can see the tension in Europe now, and a new round of war is about to be staged. And with so many years of rapid development in Romania, it is simply impossible to be as neutral as in the last war.

And how Romania should choose to take sides, this is a very serious problem. Once chosen, Romania's strength was further expanded. If you don't choose well, then years of hard work are likely to be in vain. Therefore, no one at the scene did not care about this, and everyone analyzed the intentions of the German foreign minister from the words of the prime minister.

"Your Majesty, this is the case."

After recounting all his meetings with Ribbentrop, Prime Minister Mihalakai stopped speaking.

And Eder, after listening to the Prime Minister's words, continued to ask. "So do you think the last words of the German foreign minister were threats, intimidation, or real?"

Eder's inquiry made Prime Minister Mihaakai shake his head. "I don't know, it's hard to judge."

Unable to get an answer from the prime minister, Eder threw the question to someone else. "What do you think?"

In response to Eder's inquiry, everyone present shook their heads in reply.

"Your Majesty, I'm not good at judging either."

"Your Majesty, I don't have a clue about this either."

"Your Majesty......"

Just kidding, even the prime minister who was there couldn't figure it out, could it be that these people could make a judgment just by listening to the statement?

Faced with a group of bobbleheads, Edel couldn't help but want to burst out. To say that these people didn't think of it, how is this possible, it's just that some people thought of it but didn't want to say it.

However, Eder didn't care whether others said it or not, so he asked directly by name. "Vice Minister Kersteff, how's your situation going over there?"

As soon as those present heard it, they knew the choice His Majesty was going to make. So they all looked at His Excellency the Deputy Prime Minister, and even the Prime Minister was no exception.

In the face of so many people's attention, Kersteff did not panic at all, because he had been prepared. After receiving a call to the palace to discuss matters, he was mentally prepared.

"The last time Colonel Beck talked to me, Poland was willing to reduce tariffs to 5 percent, and at the same time to purchase two hundred million dollars worth of military supplies from our country. As a sign of goodwill, they are willing to pay in advance. In addition, in the event of war with Germany, Poland, in consultation with Britain and France, agreed to transfer the Kosice and Prešów regions of the eastern part of Slovakia to our control. ”

Hearing what Kersteff said, many people present who didn't know the details of the negotiations couldn't help but hold their mouths. Compared to Germany's conditions, Poland was much worse.

No way, although Poland's economy recovered quickly, it could give Romania much less benefits. Not to mention that Poland still has to consider the feelings of Britain and France, so the conditions it offers cannot be compared with Germany, and it can only find a way economically. The condition for the purchase of military supplies before the goods is probably financial assistance to Romania.

And Kelsteff's words made Eder also appreciate the attitude of the Poles. Perhaps the hope of these Poles was more to use the British and French threats to make Germany more worried. That's why there is no urgency to fight for Romania.

Edel, who already had a preliminary idea in his heart, said casually. "It seems that Poland does not pay enough attention to our country."

And Eder's casual remark immediately made those present understand the king's tendencies. It seems that His Majesty is not at all satisfied with the conditions in Poland, so it will be much easier to do next.

I saw Foreign Minister Kostel immediately stand up. "Your Majesty, I think that the conditions of the Poles are fundamentally inattentive to the needs of our country. Everyone knows that our country is currently in two directions, one is in Ukraine, where the threat of the USSR will be directly confronted, and Poland is not mentioned in the conditions at all. The other direction is on the side of the Mediterranean and Macedonia, and Poland is not in a position to help our country. ”

Kostel's intentions were already evident, and he was extremely dissatisfied with this Polish condition, because it did not match Romania's concerns at all, except for economic interests. Although he had complained about the German side before, Poland turned a blind eye to the needs of Romania compared to Germany.

It is that the Foreign Minister has wronged Poland, and for not mentioning Ukraine, it is also Poland, under the impetus of Britain and France, that is negotiating with the Soviet Union on the issue of guaranteeing Poland's security. Although Poland was not satisfied with Britain and France forcing Poland to negotiate with the Soviet Union, it was impossible to discuss the Ukrainian issue with Romania in this way.

As for the Mediterranean and Macedonian issues, Poland is even more out of reach. And in terms of Polish attitudes, they considered Britain and France to be more important than Romania.

Led by Kostel, others were not far behind and came out one after another to denigrate Poland for this condition.

"Poland's condition, I think it can be directly rejected."

"That's right, in vain we helped them defend themselves against the Soviet invasion, and now with the help of Britain and France, they forgot about us so quickly."

And the speeches of those present immediately turned the situation to one side. In their mouths, Poland is not worthy of Romania's continued alliance with it.

Seeing that everyone agreed to Germany's terms, Eder spoke for the final decision. "Your Excellency the Prime Minister."

"Yes."

"When you return, inform His Excellency Ribbentrop, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Germany, and discuss the remaining details with him."

"Yes."

In fact, how could Edel, who has the memory of later generations, join the Polish side. This country, which did not even hold on to the German offensive for a month, was defeated, and it was nothing more than waste use. He didn't want the Germans to divide Poland and then Romania.

Yes, Eder had always believed that Romania would have the best interests to join the German camp. It's not that Eder has a crush on his family because he comes from Germany, it's because everything Romania needs at the moment can be obtained by allied with Germany.

Romania needs Ukraine, and the German side can give guarantees. Romania needs Macedonia and the Mediterranean, and Germany is even more willing to see it. Even far away, Romania needs Egypt, and Germany will have limited support.

Because Germany, like Romania, is a challenger to the order, they all need to break with the old interests and seek greater benefits for themselves.

And there is another reason for Romania, that is, Romania's development has entered a bottleneck, and it must have more land and population in order to continue to grow bigger and stronger. This is something that Britain and France cannot give, and they can only do it themselves.
