When both the northern and southern armies were routed by Romania and allowed it to occupy Lviv and Odessa, there was a panic in Ukraine. More than 300,000 troops were routed by Romania, and only more than 100,000 people fled back, a result that panicked the old men of the government.

"Will this guy Ryumidko fight, he has such a miserable numerical advantage, and he lost Voriv, such a general should be sent to a military court."

In Parliament, a member of parliament speaks loudly about the author's own opinion.

"I think the current government needs to call up another half a million troops to let Romania know that we Ukraine are not so easy to mess with."

This is another parliamentarian speaking his opinion.

"That's a good saying, if you recruit another 500,000 troops, will you pay for it?"

One of the councillors voiced his dissenting voice, and after seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, he expressed his opinion. "I said that this is all because the army is not untrained, and we do not have enough weapons and equipment to recruit half a million people."

It seems that this is the man who understands, and his words have aroused the interest of others.

"So what do you say to do?"

The councillor confidently said: "If you want me to say, we need to find a well-trained army, together with our recruited soldiers, to resist the attack of these Romanians. At present, General Denikin in Tsaritsyn is the best choice, and his South Russian volunteer army has 200,000 men, which is enough for us. ”

The councilor's suggestion immediately provoked a violent reaction, and a young congressman next to him immediately pointed at his nose and scolded: "Okay, you national thief, you also helped Denikin fight Ukraine's idea." Say, how much good he has given you. ”

The parliamentarian who was pointed at his nose and spat at immediately retorted: "Don't talk nonsense, I am doing this for the benefit of Ukraine." ”

"Today I will kill you, a traitor, for the sake of Ukraine."

After saying that, the young councillor pounced, and the others next to him saw the two having a physical altercation and immediately stepped forward to pull them away.

And President Korbachev, Prime Minister Molakov, and Parliament Speaker Miklar, who witnessed all this, have become accustomed to this. It's not news that there will be fights in parliament now, it will be news if there is no fight one day. These legislators, who have suddenly gained high positions to represent local interests, have not yet learned that politics is the art of compromise. It's just that in the face of the persecuting Romanian army, the three of them can't wait for the parliament to continue to quarrel and come to an end.

Prime Minister Morakov, who suffered the most losses in the battle with Romania, was the first to speak: "Now that the Romanian army is pressing on us after occupying Western Ukraine, do you have any good solution?" ”

In the face of Prime Minister Molakov's inquiry, Parliament Speaker Mikral saw that President Korbachev next to him did not speak, so he had to speak. "Can you tell us how much money and materials the government has at present?"

The head of the parliament, Miklar, did not give advice first, but cared about the government's family.

Faced with the inquiry of the parliamentary chief Mikral, Prime Minister Morakov, who is in charge of government work, replied with a wry smile: "Now the government's material warehouse can run mice." The 230,000 soldiers recruited for the war have already spent all our little supplies and funds. Moreover, I also asked the Chief of the General Staff, Lieutenant General Nomitov, and he said that the most effective way at present was to ask Field Marshal Mackensen, who had retreated to Poland, to come back. Such a major matter certainly needs to be done by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ”

After Prime Minister Morakov finished speaking, he and the head of the parliament looked at the pot-bellied President Korbachev. In the face of the interrogative gaze of the two, President Korbachev shook his huge head. Shiny, smooth, meticulously groomed hair that even flies can't stand.

I saw him say with a wry smile: "I have tried Lieutenant General Nomitov's suggestion a long time ago, if it is so good, it will be easy to do it." Marshal Mackensen said that the German army was currently short of supplies, and as long as we could come up with these, he would lead his army to help us resist the Romanian offensive. ”

After saying that, President Korbachev took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and it seemed that this was what Marshal Mackensen requested. Neither of them needs to comment too much on Marshal Mackensen's record. So after seeing this little sticky note, the two of them leaned over their heads. Going to see what conditions made President Korbachev smile bitterly.

There aren't many words written on this small sticky note, and the materials on it are only a few items. But when the two of them saw it clearly, they both gasped, and it was written that 850,000 tons of wheat, 1.1 million tons of corn, 450,000 tons of oats, and 300,000 tons of potatoes.

This is all food, but 2.7 million tons of grain is also a remarkable figure for Ukraine, which is itself a grain-producing region. You must know that in 1909, the year of Russia's highest exports, only 12 million tons of grain were exported, of which corn exports accounted for the majority.

And after many years of war, Russia does not have enough food to eat at home. And Ukraine, despite being a grain-producing region with fertile black soil, has only been independent for almost a year. And it has been looted by Germany once before, if it weren't for the smooth wind and good harvest this year, Ukraine might have a famine itself, where would it have the ability to come up with so much food, and this is only the cost of inviting the German army to send troops. If they really invite these people in, they will definitely have material security, that is, they don't need ammunition, and people need a lot of food to eat and chew.

This list seemed to the three of them to be no different from rejection, and in fact Marshal Mackensen did intend to refuse. However, considering the current famine in the country and the fact that Ukraine is a grain-producing region, such a list of troops was temporarily concocted. Of course, if the Ukrainian government really gathers this list of supplies, then what does it matter if he makes a trip. Maybe it can be looted from Ukraine again, who let the current Germany even catch rats and eat them.

At present, it seems that the way to get help from Germany is broken, and the only reinforcement they can find is Denikin in Tsaritsyn. However, the three of them fully understood Denikin's thoughts. And they all know that they can't live and die, and they must not lure wolves into the house.

In the end, President Korbachev tried to mention: "Otherwise, we will propose peace talks to Romania?" ”

"I think I can try."

President Korbachev's words immediately drew a response from the head of parliament Mikral. And after saying that, Parliament President Mikral and President Korbachev looked at Prime Minister Molakov together, and the intention could not be more obvious.

Prime Minister Molakov, who was stared at by the two, knew that they were making a statement more than himself, but the current bad war situation made him completely untempered, so he had to say: "I agree, but you have to think carefully, the eastern Moldavian region will definitely not be saved." ”

"No matter how bad the situation on the battlefield is, there is no way to do it."

"I agree."

As the trio agreed, they then co-opted and divided the other parties, and finally got the parliament to agree to the demands of the peace talks. In fact, these parliamentarians all know that this conflict in Ukraine will inevitably come at a price. Therefore, the water and water pushed the boats basically voted in favor. Except for a few stunned young people who shouted for a decisive battle with Romania, and parliamentarians with ulterior motives opposed it, the voting rate of this bill was very high.

When the request for peace talks in Ukraine was placed on Eder's table, in front of him were all important ministers with happy faces. Isn't that what every country likes to do when it comes to collecting benefits from other countries?

Eder glanced at the jubilant ministers in front of him, and he said to Prime Minister Bretianu in front of him: "Drag these Ukrainians for three days and let them taste the wait." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After receiving the Prime Minister's reply, Eder told Admiral Prieh, who was nearby: "Send a telegram to Courtois and Fereit at once, and give them three days to complete the occupation of the points of the plan." ”

"Understood, I'll send the report."

After Admiral Preshan finished speaking, he immediately strode out of the conference room.

After seeing Prisan leave, Eder asked the remaining ministers, "Next, let's discuss what conditions are suitable for the Ukrainian government." ”

When the Romanian government dragged the Ukrainian peace talks for three days, the Romanian army in Ukraine launched a final frenzied offensive. The cities of Nikolaev, Vinnytsia, Uman, Khmelnitsky and other cities fell into its hands, which at one time made the Ukrainian government think that Romania had no sincerity in peace talks. However, three days later, Romania's telegram agreeing to the peace talks was sent to Kiev.

And after Ukraine saw that Romania agreed to the peace talks, there was another wave of fierce quarrels about the candidates for the peace talks. These Ukrainians, when will they mature.
