Chapter 492： Rhodes Mutual Aid Contract

Meeting with the still young Hitler, Edel reaped enough benefits. Of course this is an investment for the future. For now, Romania has also reaped enough benefits. After more than half a month of negotiations, the Rhodes Mutual Aid Contract was finally successfully reached.

In fact, for such a contract that is beneficial to both parties, it is also necessary to negotiate. Because this is sufficient for both parties. Romania has the market and funds that Germany urgently needs, and Germany has the technical equipment that Romania needs, so the negotiation between the two parties is quite fast.

So when Edel returned to Berlin, the results of this negotiation were also presented to him. The part about the disclosure is the economic and trade friendly treaty between the two countries. In this treaty, Romania and Germany aim at their respective needs and strengthen the economic complementarity of the two countries.

Germany imports petroleum, automobiles, and grains and other agricultural products from Romania, and exports metallurgy, chemicals, mining equipment, machine tools and other equipment to strengthen the economic and trade exchanges between the two countries. In addition, Germany will also open up a variety of restricted export technologies such as alloy manufacturing, chemical technology, mining technology, and shipbuilding, and it will also be open to Romania.

However, based on the consideration of making more profits for domestic companies, the German side insisted on using these new technologies to buy shares in Romanian companies. In this regard, the Romanian negotiators agreed to their request after consulting Edel.

So eventually these technologies will appear in Romania as a joint venture, which will also strengthen Romania’s industrial base. As for giving up some profits, it seems innocuous to Edel, after all, Germany has already taken out the coffin board, so don't be so stingy. Besides, these technologies have an immediate effect on enhancing Romania’s national strength.

Among them is the tungsten alloy technology that Edel has always coveted. German tungsten alloy cutter heads have always been a guarantee for the excellent mechanical equipment. This technology is as important as Romania. If it weren't for the fact that the poor family couldn't open the pot, it would be impossible for the Germans to share this technology.

Therefore, Edel is very satisfied with this economic mutual aid contract. And what makes him more satisfied is yet to come, and that is the terms of Dro's secret military exchanges. Because this is a guarantee to comprehensively strengthen Romania’s military technology so that it will not fall behind.

In addition, Germany will send a thousand officers to Romania in the next five years to study various military cooperation plans such as armored operations, aircraft utilization, logistics support, ship command coordination, and communication secrecy.

Facing the fruitful negotiation results, Edel's trip to Germany can be said to be very satisfied. There can be no better results than this. For this, he commended the foreign minister Kostel and the chief of the general staff Admiral Fereit for this negotiation.

"I am very satisfied with the results of this negotiation. It can be said that the results of this global visit are enough to make this visit worthwhile."

Edel looked at the results before him and praised the two senior military and political officials in charge of negotiations with joy.

Facing Edel’s praise, Costel, the foreign secretary in charge of public negotiations, did not agree. "Your Majesty, this negotiation is actually more of an urgent need from the German side. Because I can feel the urgency of the Germans for this negotiation. Many times it could have been discussed, and the German side is meeting its expectations. Under circumstances, let go."

After the Minister of Foreign Affairs Kostel confided his doubts, the Chief of the General Staff, General Fereit, confided his doubts. "This situation also appeared in my negotiations with the German military. At first I thought it was because Germany attached great importance to Romania, but then I felt like I was about to complete a task within a certain period of time. This made me a little skeptical It's not that Germany is afraid that after something is exposed, the negotiations will be deadlocked."

"I have this suspicion too."

Facing the doubts of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Chief of Staff, a thought suddenly flashed by Edel, and he took over and said. "It must be a country that is a threat to Romania that can hinder negotiations."

"It's the Soviet Union."

"It's a Russian."

The Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Chief of Staff have the same meaning although they say different words.

There are several countries that can pose a threat to Romania, but only the Soviet Union is the only one that will cause trouble to the negotiations. Don't look at the current Romanian domestic public opinion that doesn't care about the Soviet Union's face. It often preaches that the Soviets are Romania's defeated opponents. But sober military and political leaders all know that the Soviet Union poses multiple threats to Romania. Even the only country that Romania needs to guard against is the Soviet Union.

try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){}　　 And Germany has a history of secret negotiations with the Soviet Union. You must know that before the Genoa Conference, Germany and the Soviet Union negotiated the Rabalo Treaty. Different from the anti-Soviet when Hitler was in power, the current relationship between Germany and the Soviet Union can be described as very close. The two isolated countries will naturally report to the group to warm up . Unlike others, Edel is very close to the two and three. Of course, the secret military cooperation between the Soviet Union and Germany was clear in the decade. The purpose of his visit this time is to weaken the military cooperation between the Soviet Union and Germany, but it seems that the effect is not great at present. It is obvious that Germany has the mind of one woman and two marriages.

"Then what should we do? Does the contract still need to be signed?"

The Minister of Foreign Affairs Costel couldn't help but asked. This is not his chaos, but a conscious test of Edel's attitude towards this.

"This is just a guess, not a basis."

Edel talked about it while picking up the negotiated contract. "Moreover, the outcome of this negotiation is very important to us. This is to enhance our country's strength, so I will not allow contract execution to be affected."

Obviously, Edel is using this to express his attitude, because the secret cooperation between Su-Germany will be exposed sooner or later in the future, which may affect some domestic views. Edel is now expressing his attitude, no matter what his opinion is, it cannot affect the outcome of this negotiation.

Facing Edel, the two people present nodded repeatedly. "Please rest assured your Majesty, no one can influence this cooperation."

After sending the two away, Edel couldn't help sighing. Even Romania could not stop the Soviet-German cooperation in the 1920s and 30s. Because Romania can't give Germany what it needs.

In fact, the secret military cooperation negotiations between the Soviet Union and Germany have come to an end, and the military cooperation between the Soviet Union and Germany is about to begin. Once the Soviet military power is strengthened, Romania needs to face greater pressure, which needs to be faced by Edel. So the next visit also becomes more important.
