Although Churchill's proposal did not pass, Britain and France had already decided to satisfy Romania's appetite and relieve themselves of pressure on the Western Front. So three days later, the British and French ambassadors informed the Romanian side of the news.

After receiving the news, Eder summoned Prime Minister Bretianu, Foreign Minister Barnosk, Minister of War General Courtois, Chief of the General Staff General Pris and others to the palace.

After gathering all his ministers, Edel set the tone as soon as he spoke. "Ladies and gentlemen, the Entente side has agreed to our Romanian terms. Now we need to focus on the covert mobilization of the army militarily, and diplomatically we also need to stabilize the Allies and buy us time for mobilization. ”

In the face of the king's strong tone, the ministers present were silent, they were all old fritters and knew the importance of time to Romania. And in recent years, the king's judgment of the situation has been very accurate, which is why they have always trusted him.

After seeing that the ministers had no opinions, Edel asked by name. "Admiral Prishan, do your military have any requirements for the Entente?"

In the face of Eder's inquiry, Prishan as a representative of the army has a lot of requirements, but now he can only pick up the important ones. "Your Majesty, we have a lot of requirements from the Entente, but the most important thing is the issue of the Entente army in Greece and our cooperation."

In the face of Prissan's words, Eder also acknowledged it. "It's really a question of whether we can open up the situation in the region, and rest assured, Chief of the General Staff, I'll let Foreign Minister Barnosque make our request."

Seeing that Mount Prelli was still a little unfinished, Eder, as the king, moved in his heart and continued to speak. "It would be best if your army could send someone to the negotiations, so that you could be of great help when discussing military matters with the Entente."

After seeing the king say what the army wanted, Admiral Pleshan thanked him. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your fancy to the military, we will definitely send professionals who know the army to do a good job of assisting in the negotiations."

In the face of Prishan's actions, Eder knew what was going on. Because Romania declared war on the Central Powers, the pressure was on their military the most. In the face of more than a million battle-hardened Allied troops, the talented staff officers of the General Staff were about to turn white. For Romania was able to stand up to the elite and confidence of the German army and its counter-attack with only 400,000 standing troops, while the militia and reserves could now resist the Austro-Hungarian attack at best. In addition, Romania's reserves of weapons and ammunition can last up to half a year according to the state of the Western Front, which makes the military very troubled. Then obtaining from one's own allies has also become a consideration for the military.

In fact, this is also the reason why the General Staff has the smallest number of people in the Bulgarian direction, but most of them are elite troops. Romania needed the assistance of the Entente too much, both in terms of troops and materials.

Some people may ask, why can't we produce a little more, which also has a lot to do with the Romanian military industry. Before the outbreak of the war, the production capacity of the Bucharest Arsenal, the main Romanian military industrial enterprise, had reached an annual output of 150,000 guns of various kinds, four or five hundred artillery pieces, and 400,000 tons of ammunition of all kinds. However, it is impossible to compare the production capacity of the two camps, you must know that at that time, the annual output of ammunition of the major powers was two million tons. Moreover, ammunition is needed to train soldiers, and weapons and ammunition that can be produced are in short supply, and they are not purchased in wartime.

And Romania, after the start of the war, needs to seize the Transylvania region to relieve its own defensive pressure, then it needs more ammunition. This is also the reason why Romania has a reserve of 1.4 million tons of ammunition, but the General Staff only considers it capable of fighting for half a year.

Why is this the result? The basis given by the General Staff was the Anglo-French consumption of ammunition on the Western Front. Britain and France produce more than two million tons of ammunition a year, and they can fight no more than three major battles a year. Of course, in addition to the major battles that concentrated on the consumption of ammunition, there were usually other consumptions, but several major battles on the Western Front accounted for most of the ammunition consumption of Britain and France, and Germany, as its opponent, was no exception.

If you look at the German battles of World War I, you will find that except for the Battle of the Marne (August 30) and the Battle of Tannenberg (August 25) at the beginning, the Eastern and Western Fronts were fought alternately. This was also because the German army's material reserves could only sustain high-strength operations in one direction, so it also caused a dispute between Germany on the eastern and western fronts. The Romanian military also saw Germany's predicament, so in order to have enough military supplies, it became a top priority to defeat Bulgaria and open up contact with the Entente.

After questioning the military, Eder turned to the prime minister. "The government needs to be prepared for a declaration of war."

In the face of Eder's words, Prime Minister Brettianu, as the head of government, must have made a statement, only to see him stand up and speak. "The government is already preparing for this, and it will not hold back."

The Prime Minister's answer is not an understatement, but it does not mean that the government has less work. In fact, this work has almost made the hair on the head of His Excellency the Prime Minister tend to become more sparse. The main reason is that the Romanian economy is highly compatible with Germany and Austria, coupled with the large number of German and Austrian capital in its territory, how to define this capital after the outbreak of war is a difficult problem for the government.

At the beginning of 1917, according to the statistics of the Romanian government, 27% of the large-scale enterprises in Romania had German and Austrian capital, of which 9% were wholly owned. Among the industries involved in the German and Austrian capital, grain processing, transportation, machinery processing industry, etc. are the main targets of its investment.

Moreover, according to the government's survey, German and Austrian capital has invested 124 million pounds in Romania, while the British, French and Russian countries combined have less than 40 million pounds. When the report was sent to Eder, he learned that Germany and Austria had done a lot in Romania.

A quarter of the workers had to rely on German-Austrian capital for food, which made Romania too much involved. If he hadn't known that the Entente would win, Eder would not have dared to declare war on Germany and Austria, because it would have caused chaos in his own country.

Therefore, the disposal of German and Austrian capital in Romania has become a major difficulty for the government. In particular, Romania continued to acquire technology, equipment and talents from Germany and Austria after the first stop, so it could not learn from the United States, Britain, France and other countries to confiscate them, which also exacerbated the speed of the prime minister's hair.

The difficulty in dealing with German and Austrian capital makes the prime minister nerve-wracking. After the military mobilization, how to quickly transform Romania's economy into military services is also a headache for him.
