Romanian Eagle

Chapter 235 Romania's Temptation (1)

Prime Minister Bretianu is now completely unaware of Caraturi's actions. Even if he knew about it, he would not have any worries about Karatuli's actions. Because Romania's rapid development is completed in his hands, and he is destined to be included in Romanian history. The records of later generations about this period of time did not circumvent the possibility of him at all.

So now Prime Minister Bretianu's vision has been placed on the situation in Europe, and he is completely disdainful of those sneaky conspiracies in the country. Prime Minister Bretianu has a kind of confidence in me now.

It was the ambassadors of Britain, France and Russia who gave him this confidence. Now Germany is fighting to the death in Verdun and France, and both sides have tried their best. In order to alleviate the passive situation of France in Verdun, the British also planned to counterattack the German forces. Even Russia, which was severely injured last year, was forcibly dragged into the war by Britain and France.

In the spring of this year, the Russian army of up to 2 million people launched a counterattack against Germany and Austria. Now the German and Austrian armies and the Russian army are fighting fiercely on the Polish plain. According to the latest information received by Prime Minister Bretianu, the Russian army Lutsk defeated the Fourth Army of Austria-Hungary. Now the Russian army's breakthrough in Austria-Hungary is in sight. Under the command of the new Russian commander-in-chief Brusilov, the Russian army has formed many breakthroughs in the Austro-Hungarian defense line. It seems that in this war, the Austro-Hungarian army can only regain a little confidence in Italy.

Now every force of Deo is being used to the limit in each battlefield. If Romania joins the war now, then no one will be able to defend them. Prime Minister Bretianu was a little moved, and he thought this was the best chance for Romania to enter the war.

At the Prime Minister's residence, Bretianu is discussing with his cousin, Wendyle Bretianu.

"What are the conditions they are giving now?"

In the face of his cousin's question, Wentiller, who has been in charge of secretly contacting the ambassadors of Britain, France and Russia, replied. "The conditions given by the ambassadors of the three countries have loosened. They no longer only give the Transylvania area as a reward, they have begun to agree to some of our other territories' demands."

"They agreed to which areas would be assigned to us after the war?"

"The Barnett area and Salishd of Krishana to the east of Sebish belong to us."

Prime Minister Bretianu immediately found the above position on the map behind him, and this time the concession of the three countries was still relatively large. This is a territory that will be as large as 20,000 square kilometers, and there are also nearly one million Romanian, Hungarian, German, Serbian and other ethnic groups living here, but there is still a big gap from his requirements. In this life, Prime Minister Bretianu, with Romania's 400,000 excellent army and 400,000 strengthened reserves, offered the condition that all the east of the Tisza River should belong to Romania.

The three Entente ambassadors were stunned by the Prime Minister's appetite.

This is to push its borders to the Hungarian plain, and also to seize a lot of its plain areas. The main reason is that if the Romanian Prime Minister's conditions are agreed, its population will double immediately, and its territory will also expand by 1.2 times. This is really a big opening.

Although Prime Minister Bretianu put forward such unpleasant conditions, the ambassadors of the three countries did not close the door to negotiations, but were testing Romania's bottom line bit by bit. However, Prime Minister Bretianu remained unmoved and insisted on his own terms. Because he saw the reality of the Three Kingdoms clearly, and now the Three Kingdoms need Romania's admission, and it is also his trust in the Romanian army.

This is not Romania, which has never been prepared to join the war in the previous life, and can only rush to war. After ten years of military preparation, the current Romanian army can be said to have reached the same level as the foreign powers, and even surpassed the armies of various countries that have been fighting for two years in some aspects. In terms of weapons, equipment and training, the Romanian army is stronger than Russia and Austria-Hungary, not to mention other small countries. Therefore, Prime Minister Bretianu can put forward conditions that satisfy him.

Cousin Wentile looked at Prime Minister Bretianu, who had been staring at the map, and after a while of inner struggle, he said. "Cousin, is it really okay for us to negotiate terms in private like this?"

Looking at his cousin's worried face, Prime Minister Bretianu said with a smile. "Why are you worried about me?"

"Yes."

Wentiller has also been in the government for a long time, and he is very clear about who can make Romania's decisions now. So after my cousin found me, I was very worried about negotiating with the Allies, for fear of angering Eder, who was actually in power in Romania.

Now he finally couldn't help but ask his cousin about the doubts in his heart.

Hearing his cousin's concerns, Prime Minister Bretianu decided to explain it to his cousin.

“Joining the Entente is an opportunity for Romania, and we are in a pretty good position. Mainly, Deau and our neighbor Bulgaria have no energy to take care of us. As long as we cross the Transylvanian mountains, we can enter Hungary directly. Plains. By that time, Austria-Hungary said that there is no force that can stop our progress."

Prime Minister Bretianu said that he has a full understanding of the future war situation. In fact, this is not what he came up with. This is the plan for the war against Austria-Hungary explained to Eder by the Chief of the General Staff, Prieshan. In addition to Austria-Hungary, in fact, Prieshan also explained the country's plans for Russia and Bulgaria. Their general staff has already made a lot of combat plans for neighboring countries, but these plans are all placed in the combat staff.

And Bretianu had a deep understanding of Austria-Hungary's combat plan, so in front of his cousin, he also did not forget to imagine his dream of commander-in-chief.

"Cousin, you know, I'm worried about our actions now."

Wendyler didn't care about his cousin anymore, he explained the words directly. "If the king finds out that we are in private contact with the Entente on the terms of the war, it will be a disaster. It will be a disaster for our family and for the party."

Seeing that his cousin made it clear, Bretianu did not interrupt him. He looked at his cousin and said seriously. "You think the king will not know our actions. You must know that the head of the royal guard, Carrust, is his eyes and ears. The head of the guard receives a lot of government funds every year."

"what do you mean……"

The cousin said that he thought of a possibility, and immediately looked at his cousin with wide eyes.

Prime Minister Bretianu understood what his cousin wanted to ask, but he did not give an answer. There are things that can be done but cannot be said, and this is the state of Prime Minister Bretianu right now.
