Chapter 377： Paris Peace Conference (Part 1)

The end of the war, in addition to making all the people cheer for it. There is still a lot of finishing work, such as fighting for the interests of the defeated countries, claiming losses from countries, and all the remaining issues that need to be negotiated.

After some discussions, Paris was chosen as the place for the negotiation, in order to compensate for the greatest loss and the resistance to the Germans who contributed the most to France.

So on November 23, representatives of all parties gathered in Paris, where they will discuss the claims and punishments against the Allied camp.

As the representatives of Romania, Prime Minister Bretianu and Foreign Minister Barnosque have arrived in Paris with a delegation of nearly a hundred people. Here, as in history, they can only discuss matters related to Romania.

That's right, Romania can only discuss proposals related to it at the moment. Despite their impressive performance in this war, Romania is still only a small country, and it is impossible to be joined by several large countries to discuss international affairs. Even if he is quite powerful in a small country, he can't.

Although Romania was unable to make changes in the status of the conference, Prime Minister Bretianu and his party received preferential treatment. On the day of arrival in Paris, he was warmly received by French Prime Minister Clemenceau.

The band played elegant music in the hall, and the guests in the interlaced light cups were talking quietly. From their gorgeous dress and extraordinary conversation, if you don't listen to the accent, it's hard to tell that this is just a welcome dinner.

And during this dinner, if you look carefully, you will find that many people are looking at a certain position on the left side of the hall from time to time. That's right, Romanian Prime Minister Bretianu, the protagonist of this banquet, is standing there and talking happily. And he was talking to an elderly man in a decent evening dress, gray hair and a little chubby figure. That's right, this is the Prime Minister of Kefazil Clemenceau.

Seeing Clemenceau smiled and said to Bretianu: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, I hope you will feel the same as before when you come to Paris this time."

Bretianu knew that Prime Minister Clemenceau was talking about his own experience when studying in France. In fact, Romanian elites love studying in France. Many people in the current cabinet have experience studying in France.

"Yes, I haven't been to Paris for many years. It is still so charming. The city can still radiate its splendor. I also want to thank the French soldiers and civilians for their resistance. They kept the city from being disturbed by the enemy. The banquet was very grand, and I need to thank the Prime Minister for his hospitality."

After Prime Minister Bretianu praised the actions of the French soldiers, Clemenceau proudly replied: "This is what we should do. France has the ability to defeat the German devil's attack. This war is an obvious example."

"Yes, Prime Minister, the glory of France is guarded by their people, and no one can take it away."

The two began to talk about the common topic. At this time, Prime Minister Clemenceau said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, what do you think of Bushehrvik in Russia?"

Listening to the topic Clemenceau provoked, Prime Minister Bretianu's heart moved, he knew that the meat show was coming. He and Edel had already negotiated with Bushehrvik that Romania must be shown to prevent its proliferation, so he did not hesitate to talk about it.

"In fact, our country believes that these Bushehrviks are the source of unrest. You look at Russia under their leadership. It's a mess. Where can these anti-government elements build a country? They only know to make trouble, so we can't let these saboteurs disrupt Europe. Peace."

In response to Prime Minister Bretianu’s answer, Clemenceau did not express any response. Instead, he mentioned another concern: “At present, with the defeat of Austria-Hungary and Germany, the Bushehrviks in the region are very active. In Germany These saboteurs in the Hungarian region have completely disrupted the local order, which is too worrying."

In the face of Clemenceau's mention of the Bushelviks in Germany and Hungary, Prime Minister Bretianu's mind is turning rapidly. Is this a test of Romania's attitude towards the two countries?

Some Prime Minister Bretianu who did not understand can only try to say: "I think the Busherviks in Germany are not a cause for concern. Millions of returning troops are capable of destroying them, even if they cannot destroy your country. It is possible to extend a helping hand. As for the Bushrvik elements in Hungary, Romania will not sit idly by if they make trouble. We have an obligation to help this country eliminate these insurgents."

Bretianu's words have been very obvious, and Romania can't take care of Germany's affairs. If something happens in Hungary, Romania can intervene.

After hearing Prime Minister Bretianu’s words, Clemenceau continued: "What if Russian Busherviks help these people?"

Bretianu replied firmly: "Then we will interrupt his protruding paws to let these people know that it is the greatest kindness for them to live in this world."

"Yes, your Prime Minister is right."

After a compliment, Clemenceau continued: "At present, we are very worried about the situation in Russia, and we are deeply afraid that these cancers will spread throughout Europe. At present, Romania is on the front line, so we must determine whether you are willing to act as a free world. Guard."

Bretianu replied: "Of course, this is what the Romanian military and civilians are looking forward to. It is our duty to protect the peace of Europe."

"It is rare that Romania has such ambitions, so we hope that Romania will shoulder the heavy responsibility of stopping the spread of Bushehrvik."

Clemenceau drew bread for Bretianu.

"But we can only take on the responsibility of the south, as for the Polish plains in the north, we have nothing to do."

Bretianu doesn't want to take this set, he directly tells Romania's current ability.

Regarding the words of the Romanian Prime Minister, Clemenceau shook his head and said: "The Prime Minister does not need to worry, we can adjust this."

Then he attached Bretianu's ear and said a few words. These few words immediately made the Prime Minister's eyes widened.

"Really?"

Seeing Prime Minister Bretianu’s surprised expression, Clemenceau nodded and replied: "Yes, but this is a proposal that we have negotiated, but it has not been announced yet."

What exactly did Clemenceau say to Bretianu surprised him so much. It is very simple. Your Excellency the Prime Minister told him about the reconstruction of Poland.

Yes, this Poland, which has been divided up several times, has once again got the opportunity to re-establish it. Speaking of the ancestors of other people in Poland, he has done it all by punching Russia and Prussia. However, after modern times, the destiny of the Poles who played too much has been miserable. They have been divided up several times, and it is simply unbearable to look back on the past.

However, this time the establishment of Poland, Britain and France also has their own selfish hearts. They hope that this country can look after the defeated Germany and the red Russia. However, because of their distrust of the ability of the Poles, they want to find a helper for them. Looking around, only Romania, located in southern Poland, can help them.

As the biggest beneficiary of Poland after its establishment, France, they can only find help for it. That's why Clemenceau made this proposal to Bretianu. Let Poland and Romania form a military alliance in the face of the Soviet-Russian threat. They have considered it carefully, and this matter will benefit Poland without any harm. In terms of military strength, Romania is much stronger than the Poles. In terms of national strength, the newly rebuilt Poland is far inferior to Romania, which has made a fortune in the war. In addition, Poland is the main route from Soviet Russia to Central and Western Europe, and its terrain is also in a great plain that is easy to attack and difficult to defend. If they don't find a strong helper, this newly-built country is likely to fall under the Soviet Russian front.

Of course, Russia is still in the civil war, but after seeing that the White Army, which has been heavily assisted by itself, suffered several offensives, countries such as Britain and France must take out insurance. Romania is currently an important part of this insurance.

"Your Excellency, this matter is very important. I can't immediately express my opinion. But I believe that as long as the new government is willing to show goodwill to us, the success rate of this matter is very high."

The replacement of Prime Minister Bretianu did not immediately give a promise, but Clemenceau was also very satisfied, at least Romania did not oppose the proposal of an alliance with Poland.

"I can understand your prime minister's careful consideration, but I believe that this matter is good for everyone. Prime Minister, let me accompany you to meet our outstanding economic figures in France."

After saying this, Clemenceau took Bretianu to introduce his famous French businessmen. It seems that for the gradually developing Romania, French capital is also trying to participate in it.

The news that the French government warmly welcomed the Romanian delegation spread that night. Many representatives of other countries are envious of Romania being hosted by France alone, but the representative of Britain, one of the giants, has already seen France's intentions.

"Clemenceau is planning to find help in Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Serbia and Poland don't seem to reassure him."

Prime Minister George sitting on a lounge chair near the furnace hall commented on the intentions of France.

The deputy next to him asked, "Do we need to entertain them once."

"No, they will feel the goodwill of the British Empire, so they will let Clemenceau stand up for us."

In Prime Minister George's view, being the world's largest country must have the confidence of being the world's largest country. Even if the war has severely damaged their vitality, Romania is still not worthy of the British Empire leaning over and discussing issues with its peers.

Prime Minister Bretianu had no idea, and he became the focus of many people's attention overnight. It's just that whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for Romania, no one knows.
