Of course, the news of the seizure of power by the Hungarian Revolution was received in Romania, as well as by the representatives of the Entente who negotiated in Paris. In fact, in the evening of the same day, the news of the Hungarian revolution became known to all countries. U.S. Secretary of State Lansing gave advice to President Wilson, demanding immediate military means to eliminate the Hungarian Soviet Republic.

The Hungarian communist government was also rejected by various countries and imposed a strict economic blockade on Hungary. The grain embargo, the supply of industrial raw materials such as iron ore, coal, and oil was stopped, and trains to Hungary and merchant ships on the Danube were suspended. At the same time, through Austria under the rule of the Social Democrats, intelligence agents were sent to Hungary, and money and weapons were sent to supply the rebels in Hungary.

However, these measures can only be used as a contingency to prevent it from becoming bigger, and the real decisive factor is to send troops to intervene. As for the dispatch of troops, the American delegation proposed three options for dealing with the Soviet power in Hungary.

First, the American, British, French, and Italian armies occupied Hungary.

Second, armed intervention against the communist regime in Hungary was organized with the assistance of Romanian, Czech and Serbian troops.

Third, with the assistance of the right-wing Social Democrats, be prepared to respond and fight back.

Faced with the three options, the United States, Britain, France, and Italy, after discussion, decided to first use the Romanian, Czech, and Serbian armies around Hungary to intervene first. Because the Czech Republic and Serbia had a series of problems at home, they were limited in their troops. Romania, which currently has an army of 600,000 troops, is of course the object of their dependence.

So in order for Romania to contribute, Blettianu was once again summoned separately.

This time, Bretianu, led by his attendants, walked into a parlor in Versailles. After he walked in, he found that compared to the big three last time, this time there was more Italian Prime Minister Orlando. However, Orlando's face was not very good-looking, and it seemed that he was very unhappy that he had not been able to obtain the rights and interests of Port Fum and Da Mascia, and he had a rather lively look.

As the driving force behind the intervention in the Hungarian revolution, President Wilson said to Prime Minister Brettianu as he entered: "Your Excellency, Hungary is currently being occupied by evil communists, and the innocent people are suffering. We have invited you here this time to ask your Excellency what Romania, as its neighbour, thinks of this atrociousness. ”

As soon as President Wilson came up, he asked about Bretianu's opinion on the outbreak of revolution in Hungary. Actually, for this, Bretianu wanted to say that I wanted to move a chair and sit and watch. However, it is better to say less about such cold jokes, so as not to make the big people in front of you so angry that it is not good.

Although President Wilson's question was somewhat sudden, Bretianu, who had already done his homework, replied reasonably: "Ladies and gentlemen, my country is very indignant at the overthrow of the government by the Communist uprising in Hungary. We are also deeply sympathetic to the suffering of people in neighbouring countries. ”

Brettianu first lamented the misfortune of his neighbors, and then changed his words: "However, at the moment we are not prepared for the unrest that will break out in Hungary, so we are still deliberating on specific countermeasures." ”

When everyone heard Bretianu's words, they felt that the shrewd Romanian prime minister was not a simple person. The whole story was said, but the result was that Romania's opinion on this was not said. And the words are always after the discussion, which is intended not to say anything about it until they have enough benefits.

This is unpleasant to hear, but as a qualified political figure, isn't this how it should be?

However, despite Bretianu's good performance, who is not a human spirit in the field, how can he give conditions so easily. After he finished speaking, Clemenceau smiled and said: "Actually, these Hungarians, under the leadership of the communist thugs, rebelled against our will. However, Hungary has always been a small country after the independence of Austria-Hungary and is not much of a threat to us. It's just that at present, the armies of various countries are a little farther away, and when our troops are assembled, it will not be difficult to destroy them. ”

Clemenceau's words, everyone present nodded and admitted that this was the truth. It was not a difficult task for them to destroy the Hungarian revolution, and it was also a warning to Brettianu not to think too much.

To Clemenceau's words, Bretianu replied with a smile: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister is right, the Hungarians really have nothing to worry about. But we all know that the most powerful thing about communism is not their armament, but its ideology. They are like a plague that spreads easily, and their ideas are fatal to the people at the bottom, so this is the real threat. ”

No one denies Brettianu's words. It is true that the living standards of the people of the major European countries currently participating in the war have been reduced so much that many people are resentful. This kind of violent Marxist thought from Lenin is too threatening to all countries, and it is very easy to spread at the bottom of the country, which is also the main reason why countries are hostile to Soviet Russia.

Everyone is a capitalist country, and suddenly a different state built by workers has appeared. Not only that, but he also claimed that he wanted to unite the workers of the world to establish a new government, and that he was not going to take the lives of the capitalists. There was no immediate attack, and thanks to this war, everyone could not be moved.

Seeing that the French Prime Minister was also refuted, President Wilson suddenly said: "Then Your Excellency Bretianu, under what circumstances do you think you can speed up the preparation time of the Romanian army?"

This is to make himself a condition, Brettianu's mind is spinning rapidly, and he is thinking about what conditions are good. Do you want to try it?

"I think that if the two places of Miskolc, to which Hungary belongs, and the Fund are promised to be owned by our country, then we must be very quick to prepare," Brettianu tried to say. ”

"It can't be."

As soon as Brettianu finished speaking, he heard Clemenceau's unceremonious rebuttal. The French prime minister said with an angry face: "The border of Romania can only be east of the Tisza River, and this is a condition that cannot be continued." If you really don't change, you will have to wait for the French army to intervene when it arrives. We are confident that these Hungarians will know that the majesty of Fasiran cannot be provoked. ”

Seeing Clemenceau's reaction so greatly, Bretianu was taken aback. At this time, Prime Minister George, who had not spoken, also said: "This is also our British attitude, and Romanian territory cannot cross the Tisza River." And forgot to say more, Kidakin has been assigned to the Kingdom of Serbia, and it is impossible to give it to you. ”

And when Prime Minister George finished, President Wilson also said: "My country agrees with that." ”

Seeing that the Big Three had all taken a stand, Blettianu knew that it was impossible to claim Hungarian territory. So he put forward another condition: "We demand that after the successful intervention be granted the same rights as you." In addition, the territory currently east of the Tisza River must be transferred to our country in the form of a treaty after the end of the intervention. ”

In the face of Brettianu's new conditions, after a round of eye contact between the Big Three, Prime Minister George said: "I'm sorry, but we can't accept your country's request for equal rights in Hungary. As for the confirmation of the territory east of the Tisza River in the form of a treaty, we can agree to that. ”

After hearing Prime Minister George's words, Bletianu said loudly: "This is not fair to us in Romania. ”

"I'm sorry, there's no fairness in this world."

"We, Romania, are not weak and cannot accept such a decision."

After ten hours of negotiations, Brettianu did not get much Hungarian benefit from the United States, Britain and France. However, in order to appease Romania, the three countries said that in addition to confirming the territory east of the Tisza River as Romanian in the form of a treaty, they would also prevent Poland from making any further territorial claims to Galicia.

And Bretianu faced the soft and hard persecution of the three countries, so he could only reluctantly agree. Because Romania is currently inseparable from the support of the three countries, but in his heart he can feel a trace of the vigilance of the United States, Britain and France against Romania. It seems that the territorial claims of oneself are somewhat ill-timed.
