Chapter 274： The final conditions of the Allies (Part 2)

When the British and French ambassadors were devastated because of the loss of materials for the Russian negotiations, the German ambassador Baslobb took the Austrian-Hungarian ambassador Bailey to the Romanian Prime Minister's Office.

Among the conditions of Germany and Austria-Hungary regarding Romania, the referendum in Transylova really aroused considerable dissatisfaction in Vienna. Germany used the area of ​​Venice in Italy as a reward for Austria-Hungary’s agreement to make promises, and after the war, Berlin had to stand on the side of Vienna to calm Austria-Hungary on whether to agree to a referendum on Transineva. mood.

No, just after the two countries negotiated, the ambassadors of Germany and Austria came to the Romanian Prime Minister's Office to submit the terms of the Allies. This time, Germany and Austria do not intend to go directly to King Edel, but intend to start with the government, first to stir up the national sentiment of Romania and put this generous condition in front of all Romanians. Germany and Austria do not believe that Romania can not agree to it. This is the blatant conspiracy of the Allies, even if the Allies know about it, there is no way to stop it.

"The two ambassadors don't know what to do with me?"

After receiving a request from the German and Austrian ambassadors, Prime Minister Bretianu didn’t know their reasons, but he met them in accordance with diplomatic etiquette.

"Prime Minister Bretianu, these are the conditions we have prepared for Romania to join the EU, please take a look."

After meeting the Romanian Prime Minister Bretianu, the German ambassador Baslob gave him the conditions prepared for Romania.

"We in Romania are not ready to join the camp. Did you two get it wrong?"

As the prime minister, Bretianu, of course, will not accept this document, because he knows that if he accepts it, it means that Romania really has the idea of ​​joining the war. However, it is a pity that your exquisite acting skills did not deceive the ambassadors of Germany and Austria, because the information on the negotiations between the Allied Powers and Romania has been mastered by them.

Ambassador Baslobb watched Bretianu's performance before speaking slowly. "Your Excellency, although our terms do not allow you to obtain the territory east of the Tisza River, it is still very generous. You may wish to take a look."

Ambassador Baslob's words shocked Prime Minister Bretianu's heart, and a chill rushed over his head. Now his mind is full of Deo knowing that Romania secretly negotiated, and who had leaked it out.

Looking at the Romanian Prime Minister who was shocked and speechless, the German and Austrian ambassadors were very happy. After Ambassador Baslob put on the table the conditions set by the Allies, he gave Prime Minister Bretianu a meaningful look, because they knew that it was this Prime Minister who was secretly negotiating with the Allies.

After the German and Austrian ambassador went out, Prime Minister Bretianu reacted, and all his performance fell in the eyes of the Allies. But he has no regard for diplomatic rudeness, and now he needs to quickly find the king to discuss the harm to Romania.

…………

"This is the case with your majesty."

In the palace, Prime Minister Bretianu told Edel what happened. Hearing that the Allied powers had discovered that Romania was negotiating with the Allied Powers, and even knowing Romania's requirements, Edel was also very happy. At present, he has no good way to fool around. The main reason is that Germany and Austria have already settled Russia on the Eastern Front. Now it should not be too easy to free up hands to equalize Romania.

Because Germany and Austria have more than three million troops on the eastern front, even if they leave a hundred to watch Soviet Russia, there are more than two million that can be used in other directions. With so many troops pressing on Romania, Edel can only go abroad to continue the war.

"Your Majesty, we can only agree to the terms of the Allies in this situation."

After seeing that Edel did not speak, Bretianu, as the prime minister, made tentative suggestions. As a leader of the Anglo-French faction, it is because he can't see the direction for him to say such a thing.

Prime Minister Bretianu is indeed biased towards Britain and France, because he believes that this will help Romania. At present, according to the attitude of the German and Austrian ambassadors, delay is impossible. They will not rest assured that there will be a half-hearted country behind, so this is probably the last condition for Germany and Austria. If he refuses, it is estimated that the next time the German and Austrian ambassador will bring him a declaration of war.

In order to give weight to his rhetoric, the prime minister looked at the conditions of Germany and Adel and said to Edel. "Your Majesty, the conditions given by Deao this time are actually very generous."

Seeing that Edel did not speak, the Prime Minister read the terms of Germany and Austria. "At the time of joining the Allied Powers, the Transylonia region will be handed over to Romania. If Romania provides 400,000 troops, 2 million tons of grain, and 1.5 million tons of refined oil for war, it will give it to the Odessa region as Compensation. And if Romania provides another 400,000 troops, 2.5 million tons of grain, and two million tons of refined oil for war , Vinnytsia will be given to Romania, in addition to the northeast. As compensation. In addition, after the end of the war, we will discuss with Austria-Hungary whether to stay in the country’s referendum in Transylonia or join Romania."

Hearing Prime Minister Bretianu's condition, Edel gave a wry smile. It seems that the Allies also took great pains to win Romania, and it is to force the public opinion to force Romania to join the Allies. It is estimated that the conditions given by the Allies will be widely circulated tomorrow. Now the national sentiment that has been suppressed in Romania is going to rise again.

Edel eagerly asked Prime Minister Bretianu. "Prime Minister, if the conditions are made public, how many people in the government will support this condition to join the Allies."

Facing Edel's question, Bretianu knew the intention, and he answered truthfully. "It is estimated that half of the people will agree to join the Allied camp."

Edel just breathed a sigh of relief, and the Prime Minister continued. "Sixty percent of the remaining half are estimated to be neutral. This is because the conditions of the Allied Powers are also similar. If it is too bad, it is estimated that these neutral people in the government will support the Allied Powers."

The Prime Minister's words made Edel also feel helpless. Romania and Germany have too close economic ties, especially in recent years, relying entirely on orders from the Allies. If you don't know the direction of history, it is very possible to join the alliance and fight.

However, the government's movements are all trivial matters, and now the main thing is the army. Edel was planning to ask the guards to call the high-ranking army over to find out. This is a piece of news.

"Your Majesty, please see the ambassadors of Britain and France."
