Inside the palace, Edel sat in a chair and carefully reviewed the terms of the negotiated contract. In front of him stood the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary, who were in charge of negotiations, and the contract had passed the parliamentary review and was about to be signed by the King. Even though he had already seen the copy before, Edel carefully reviewed the terms of the contract. It's not that he doesn't trust the two, but he is responsible for his work.

After reading it, Eder put down the contract and said to the two: "Thank you for your hard work, I am very satisfied with this negotiation." ”

Faced with the king's thanks, the two replied in unison: "It's not hard, it's all for the good of the Kingdom of Romania." The main thing is that the Ukrainians recognize the huge power gap with the kingdom, which can negotiate the contract. ”

Listening to the polite answers of the two, Edel picked up the brush and signed his name in the lower right corner of the contract. Now that the contract has been signed, it is ready to take effect.

He then handed it to the Prime Minister, who took the text of the contract and said, "This peace talks will take a lot of energy, so you should rest for two days." ”

Faced with the king's concerned words, Prime Minister Bretianu, who took the text, said with a wry smile: "After walking for so long, the documents waiting for me in the government have been piled up more than two feet high, where is there time to rest now." Next time. ”

Faced with the Prime Minister's concern about government affairs, Eder had no choice but to say, "Okay, when the war is over, I'll give you a holiday." It's good to take care of your body, the gray hair on your head has grown a lot, which is tired. ”

Seeing that the king cared about his gray hair, Prime Minister Bretianu could not answer this, so he could only shrug his shoulders and smile awkwardly.

The prime minister could not rest because of his work, but Foreign Minister Barnosque was moved.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Not to mention, my old bones really need to take a break after nearly a month of tossing. ”

In the face of the foreign secretary's gag, Eder smiled and said, "It's okay, you can't tire my foreign secretary." Then there are important negotiation tasks that will be used by you. ”

Neither of them was stupid, and they knew that the most important thing to do next was, of course, the meeting to divide the spoils after the war. At that time, more than a dozen or twenty countries, large and small, will have to compete for their own interests from the allies, and this will not be an easy job at that time.

Now it is up to Germany to struggle for support, and everyone knows that its defeat is imminent.

After sending the two away, Eder was about to go to the General Staff to have a look. By the way, I talked to Admiral Pletshan about the post-war army, but I didn't expect to just walk to the door and almost collide with someone.

After Edel saw the person in front of him clearly, he asked with some curiosity, "Caust, what's wrong with you today, so anxious?" ”

When the chief of the guard, who was being held up, saw that it was Eder in front of him, he gasped and said to the king: "Your Majesty, we have just received news that there is a rebellion of sailors in Kiel, Germany, and this is a telegram. ”

Calust's shocking words immediately opened Edel's dusty memory. Kiel Sailor Rebellion, German Surrender, Treaty of Versailles.

Edel didn't take the telegram, but pulled the chief of the guard and said, "Let's go in and talk." ”

After pulling the chief of his guard into the room, Edel took the telegram and read it. The Kiel Sailors' Revolt was an important symbol of Germany's defeat, and he had previously feared that his agitation would make it disappear, but it still seems to have happened. I just don't know how this incident is different from my previous life.

In June and July, in order to prevent the Germans from moving reinforcements to the attacked area, the Allies launched a full-scale attack on the entire 400-kilometer-wide front line from Verdun to the Atlantic coastline.

Since the German army had been fighting for four years and was already exhausted, it was simply unable to withstand such a huge offensive, and the front steadily advanced to the pre-war German-French border. In this battle, the Allies captured a total of 190,000 German prisoners of war.

The decline in the will of the Germans to resist and the increase in the number of prisoners in this offensive shocked the top brass. And in order to boost the morale of the army, Ludendorff and Hindenburg and others thought of a way to get the navy to attack.

So on August 23, the naval command ordered the German High Seas Fleet in the port of Kiel to go to sea to fight the British, and if it failed, it would be "sunk with honor." An attempt was made to pass the High Seas Fleet through a decisive battle and to motivate the German army, which was currently demoralized.

However, the officers and men of the fleet who were abandoned were extremely angry at the orders of the naval command. No one wants to be sacrificed, and there is no hope in sight. So on August 27, with the connivance of the officers at the top of the fleet, nearly 80,000 sailors stepped off the ships and crowded the streets of Kiel to hold a demonstration.

The sailors' actions were quickly met with an enthusiastic response from the workers. Under the leadership of sailors, the demonstrations soon developed into armed uprisings. And also quickly occupied strategic points. At the same time, the Soviets of Workers' Deputies and the Soviets of Soldiers' Deputies were formed in Kiel.

In order to make the uprising a success, the Kiel workers staged a city-wide general strike on 5 September to support the revolt of the sailors.

When the German government received the news of the sailors' uprising, it was shocked. Six infantry companies were immediately sent from the field to suppress it. But what the German government did not expect was that four of them also turned against each other and joined the ranks of the rebels. Soon, the city of Kiel was under the control of the Soviets of Engineer Deputies.

News of the uprising of the Kiel sailors immediately reached the world by telegram. And Caust, who is the head of the Romanian intelligence service, also found Eder for the first time to inform him of the news.

Eder looked at the telegram and walked up and down the room, thinking about the impact of the incident on Romania. This would have led to a quick surrender of Germany, but there was still a lot to do in Romania in the meantime. For example, the Hungarian clean-up in the occupied territories, the referendum in East Moldavia, and what to do with the Poles in Galicia. Whether to negotiate with the future Polish government and let them take it or whatever, you need to make your own decision.

Calust looked at Eder, who was constantly walking and thinking about problems, and he didn't dare to come out.

Eder finally stopped, and he said to Calust in front of him: "Now send men to keep a close eye on the situation in Germany, and I will keep abreast of their movements." In addition, a telegram was sent to Admiral Salamik asking him to speed up the clean-up. Also, let the prime minister speed up the referendum in East Moldavia. I will see them join the Kingdom of Romania within a month. ”

Faced with several orders from Edel in a row, Caluster quickly jotted them down.

"Your Majesty, I'll do it."

"Go ahead."

After sending off the chief guard, Edel thought to himself. It seems that this war is coming to an end, then the next step is to ensure the interests of Romania.
