Chapter 448： Rhobo Friendship Agreement (Part 2)

After listening to the conditions given by Prime Minister Morachevsky, Bretianu somewhat suppressed a smile and said, "Your Excellency, we have received your country's conditions. But I have to discuss it before I can tell you whether you will send troops. Reply."

When Morachevsky heard Prime Minister Bretianu's words, he secretly said a bad cry. So he immediately said, "Your Excellency Prime Minister, can you tell us what kind of conditions are needed to send troops to help our country."

Seeing Prime Minister Morachevsky who did not even consider diplomatic etiquette, Bretianu told Romania’s conditions.

"Our country has no other requirements, as long as your country does not make any territorial claims to the East Galicia region. The other is to sign an economic and trade friendly agreement to reduce the tariffs of your country and our country to each other to 5."

Unexpectedly, Morachevsky stood up immediately after hearing Prime Minister Bretianu’s terms.

"Your Prime Minister, our country cannot accept this condition. The tariff is too low and it is too harmful to our economy."

In the end, Morachevsky was the prime minister, and he immediately found the most critical part of Romania’s conditions. Tariffs facing each other will indeed bring closer economic ties between the two countries. However, you need to consider what Poland produces and what Romania produces, and you can understand how much benefit this condition has for Romania.

At present, Poland produces mainly grain and light industrial products, while Romania produces mainly grain, oil and industrial products, mainly automobiles. Among these products, grain is the first to be excluded, and neither country will import from each other. Romania has its own light industrial products, while Poland does not have commodities such as oil and automobiles.

This treaty is entirely to treat Poland as a dumping ground for Romanian goods. It will be a hundred times more difficult for Poland to build the same industry in the future. Because they will not defend themselves against similar products in Romania, how can this not let Morachevsky object.

He came to ask for help, not to betray his country.

Prime Minister Morachevsky's reaction was expected by Bretianu. In fact, he even considered the Prime Minister's departure at dawn in a rage. The dangers of this trade agreement are also well known. Romania is not a shantang, how could it be possible to send troops to help Poland in vain. Please, we are not familiar, of course we need to talk about interests.

And this condition is just to test Poland's response and endurance. At present, it seems that Poland is indeed very urgent, so we can talk about it next.

Prime Minister Bretianu said with a smile. "This condition is just a preliminary draft that our country does not know much about the actual situation in Poland, and we can still talk about it."

Hearing that Romania could negotiate on this condition, Morachevsky immediately realized that he was a little urgent. So he calmed down and said, "Your country's conditions can only accept the first one, but the second one is too harsh for our country. Even after I talk about it, the parliament and the government will not accept it."

After seeing the softening of Prime Minister Morachevsky’s attitude, Bretianu continued, “That’s why we need to negotiate terms that are acceptable to both parties. It seems that our differences are mainly due to the tariffs of the economic and trade friendly agreement. Come on. So how much tariff can your country accept?"

Prime Minister Bretianu's words made Prime Minister Morachevsky lost his thoughts. At present, the overall tariff on the opposite side of Poland is around 22. Since Romania's conditions are for economic benefits, it is impossible to continue to impose such tariffs. However, the tariff issue affects all aspects, not only the domestic, but the reaction of other countries will also be considered by Poland.

If you want Romania to send troops to help Poland, you can't talk about it if you give it high, you will suffer if you give it to Poland. At this time, Prime Minister Morachevsky was in a dilemma, so he tried to say, "I think our two countries will help each other more closely. The tariff of 15 is a reasonable number."

Unexpectedly, after Prime Minister Bretianu listened to his terms, he said without thinking, "It's too high, it will make the military unsatisfied. After all, the military needs to be persuaded to send troops."

After hearing Prime Minister Bretianu’s message, Prime Minister Morachevsky couldn’t help but said, “Then what tariff does your country think is reasonable?”

"Considering what your country can accept, I think 7 is a number that is acceptable to both parties."

Facing Morachevsky’s inquiry, His Excellency the Prime Minister gave the latest figures with a face that fully considered the other party.

"This is not good, it is still too low. Not only will my country not agree to such a low tariff, but it will also not accept it when it accepts Britain and France."

This time Prime Minister Morachevsky not only said that his country could not accept it, but also carried out Britain and France. Taking into account the possible reaction of Romania, he also re-quoted a price.

"For the sake of the relationship between the two countries, we can still reduce by 1. This cannot be lowered, otherwise there will be no way to explain to either party."

"I believe you a ghost."

Your Excellency Prime Minister who is like an old fritters, how can you keep in mind that the other party is the last condition? In the end, the phrase low price has been heard too much, so who really takes it seriously?

"The military will still not agree to the terms you have given. It is too high. These troops have the idea of ​​opening up and expanding their territories. They don't know much about the economy. They don't send troops back when they see this condition. Even if you send troops, it’s hard work. Your country doesn’t want to suffer in this respect, right."

Hearing that Prime Minister Bretianu always used the military as a shield, Morachevsky couldn't help asking, "Your Excellency, can't your country command the army?"

Seeing Prime Minister Morachevsky, he was dissatisfied with his always using the army as an excuse. Prime Minister Bretianu not only told the truth, "Your Excellency, the situation in our country is different from your country. The military has soared after the end of the war, and the government is indeed somewhat unable to command. Because our country is a kingdom system, the military is commanded by high ranks. It’s your Majesty, you won’t let me command the king.”

Prime Minister Bretianu’s explanation stunned Prime Minister Morachevsky, and he could explain the kingdom regime in this way.

So the two talked back and forth about the tariff issue. You increase by 1 and I decrease by 1. The conditions for Romania’s troop deployment were finally discussed after the Hua Deng first arrived.

Romania will send troops to assist Poland within four days, of which at least 200,000 troops will be sent to Poland. Regarding the issue of command power, Romania will not be split as a strategic unit. The Polish side only needs to give the target, and the Romanian army itself is responsible for the marching route and combat plan. Moreover, in order to facilitate the command of the two parties, Poland will send a liaison officer to the Romanian reinforcements, and Romania will also send a liaison officer to Poland to ensure coordinated operations between the two sides.

As a condition for Romania to send troops, Poland will not be allowed to claim the sovereignty of Eastern Galicia. At the same time, the two sides signed a mutual defense treaty. When either of the two countries faces an attack by the Soviet Union, the other side must give the other side all help, including the military (this is what Prime Minister Morachevsky strongly requested, and in order The other party made concessions in tariffs, and the Prime Minister also agreed to it).

Finally, in the economic and trade friendly agreement that the two parties are most concerned about, the two parties have determined that they will use the 10 tariff as the benchmark. This economic and trade friendly agreement is valid for 15 years, the same period as the Mutual Defense Treaty.

The terms of the Rhopo Friendship Agreement appeared in the hands of Edel that night. After reading the agreement, he said to the Prime Minister, "The Prime Minister has worked hard to negotiate such generous terms for Romania. My expectation is a tariff of 12, no It is the prime minister’s credit to think that 10 can be mentioned."

At this time, the Prime Minister, who consumed too much energy due to negotiations, said with a smile, "The credit is still with Soviet Russia, whoever makes them come to Warsaw."

"Hahaha"

Hearing the Prime Minister's rare joke Edel and Marshal Pretzel all laughed. If you think about it carefully, what the Prime Minister said is right. If the Soviet Union hadn't forced Poland to survive, Poland would not have signed such a treaty.

After closing his smile, Edel asked the Chief of Staff beside him, "Can your military dispatch troops within four days?"

Your Excellency the Chief of General Staff, who has been promoted to Marshal, who has already reached the pinnacle of the military, patted his chest and assured him, "Don’t worry, your majesty, the army has already been assembled. The Polish Group Army of 11 divisions, 1 brigade and 5 heavy artillery regiments is ready. Commanded by Admiral Feleit. As long as your Majesty gives an order, you can immediately reinforce them."

Edel thought about it for a while and said, "That's good, we can't let our neighbors wait too eagerly, and we will leave in two days."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Next, let’s see if Tukhachevski, the genius commander, is considering reinforcements for Romania.
