Romanian Eagle

"Prime Minister, thank you for your hard work. This time we can achieve such a fruitful result, and you have an irreplaceable role."

In the palace, Eder said to the Prime Minister while reading the Trianon Treaty, which was written in French, Hungarian, and Romanian languages ​​with ink incense.

"The outcome of the negotiation depends on the performance of the military on the battlefield and the support of the people for this war. And I just brought back what should have belonged to Romania."

The Prime Minister is still as humble as ever.

Despite the Prime Minister's modesty, Eder will not forget his credit. In addition to the negotiation results, the Prime Minister has stabilized the situation in the country and provided sufficient material support for the army, which is also a huge credit. After all, 2,000 years ago, Liu Bang said that Xiao He was the first to be credited.

For Romania, the importance of the Treaty of Trianon is far higher than the Treaty of Versailles and other treaties, and it can be regarded as its greatest achievement in this war. Therefore, to Prime Minister Bretianu, who has been negotiating in France, it is also appropriate to say hard work.

After staying in France for more than half a year, Prime Minister Bretianu, who has lost ten pounds, can also bear it.

So when the Prime Minister and his party returned home, Eder held a welcome banquet for them. And the public highly praised the negotiating delegation's role in Romania's fruitful results.

And at this banquet, Edel also revealed his tone. For those who have made meritorious contributions to Romania's acquisition of new territories, the royal family will distribute seats of nobility to outstanding contributors. Edel's words aroused the hearts of everyone present at the time.

As we all know, after the establishment of the Kingdom of Romania, the Hohenzollern family has been very stingy with the distribution of noble titles. During the time of Edel's father, Carol I, Romania had less than twenty nobles in total. Among them is the tenth war between Turkey and Russia, which made Romania completely independent. (This war Romania divided eleven nobles)

And after Eder came to power, Romania has never divided the nobility, the Second Balkan War and Eder's ascension to the throne, these two events are considered very likely to be enthroned. So many people think that Edel has a very stingy attitude towards assigning nobles, and they don't know what conditions are needed to deduct the noble titles from him.

In fact, these people's guesses are a bit unfair to Edel. The real reason that makes him so stingy is that the influence of his later memory does not favor the noble class. In his heart, he believed that most nobles depended on society to absorb nutrition. And since he was the heir to the kingdom at birth, the desire of the common class for nobles and titles during this period was underestimated.

But it's okay now, with the help of this war victory, Edel decided to open the noble title.

However, despite the opening of the nobility titles, it is extremely harsh to issue them. Eder's purpose is to complement it with honor, to inspire the desire of the Romanian people for what they want most. In addition, there are also awards for some people who have made great contributions and cannot be promoted. For example, Admiral Presun and Prime Minister Bretianu, etc., such figures.

Eder put down the Trianon Treaty and continued to the Prime Minister: "The territory has been conquered, and then it needs to be digested into a solid foundation for the kingdom. At this point, the government needs to be adequately prepared for this. ."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the government made a plan for the new territory last year, and will not make the territory hard-earned by the army a factor of instability."

Prime Minister Bretianu has enough confidence in this. Because since last year, the government has been training officials who know Hungarian, Polish, Czech, Ukrainian and Russian. The government has gathered these officials for training, mainly to cultivate their handling of ethnic issues, religious disputes, and more importantly, to monitor local grievances. These government officials have enough power to deal with suspicious elements who wantonly spread dissatisfaction with the government and beat ethnic antagonisms, even if they cause local ethnic conflicts.

After all, this is the beginning of the twentieth century, a period of nationalism, not the 21st century of Madonnaism.

These officials are carefully selected by the government, and each of them is an all-rounder with outstanding local government ability, high political awareness, and the ability to mediate social emotions. And without any political taint, but also has his own views on government work in multi-ethnic areas. Moreover, regarding the multi-ethnic issues in the new territories, the government also focused on explaining the methods for dealing with these issues for them.

Among them, for the Hungarian nation, it is mainly forced to leave the local area by squeezing their living space. This is also because the Hungarians have a relatively tense relationship with other local ethnic groups and have a lot to do. The main reason is that the Hungarians themselves set up a target to let other ethnic groups vent their inner emotions, which is also conducive to the rule of Romania.

For the Poles where Galicia is located, Romania is another solution. Mainly to open the immigration channel with Poland, and even tacitly allow the Polish government to send people to mobilize these people to immigrate to Poland. For the newly-born Poland, when Romania is stronger than itself, it is a good choice to introduce its own nation from Galicia to enrich Lower Silesia and West Prussia.

As for other Ukrainians, Czechs and other ethnic groups, as long as they don't make trouble, the Romanian government does not have too many policies to deal with them. In a word, being a good citizen treats you as a citizen.

After the training is completed, these officials will be dispatched to different regions in batches according to their grades and abilities. The main basis is that for the areas that need to be cleaned, officials with outstanding ability and tough style are sent, and officials with soft means are sent to the areas that need assimilation. They became the backbone of the government's ruling power in the new territories, making the greatest contribution to the new territories.

"I believe in the government's ability. Apart from ethnic issues, the geological exploration work in the new territories cannot be relaxed."

Edel's thinking turned fast. One moment ago, he was discussing ethnic issues, and the next moment he talked about geological exploration. Because he had some impressions before, saying that there are more mineral resources in Transylvania and Transcarpathian Mountains, and for the current Romania, mineral resources are the booster of Romania's economy. Before Romania, apart from food, only oil could be obtained. (Potash is after getting Transylvania, and the mineral resources in this area are not rich, as long as it is stone and gold mines are not bad)

Edel turned quickly, and Prime Minister Bretianu also answered quickly.

"In this regard, our government has made preparations. In addition to the four geological exploration teams prepared by ourselves, we have also formed two more teams with the University of Bucharest, Iasi University and other schools. new territory."

"not enough."

After hearing the Prime Minister's words, Edel knew that he only focused on Transylvania, the east of the Tisza River and the eastern part of the Transcarpathian Mountains, which was far from enough. In later generations, Ukraine is not only a country with superior agricultural conditions, but also a country with large resources. Otherwise, it would not be qualified as a heavy industry base for the Soviet Union. In later generations, the resources of Western Ukraine were not famous, which was also based on the too rich foundation of Eastern Ukraine.

"At present, the Ukrainian territory where our troops are stationed has also secretly sent people to conduct exploration."

It's clear that Edel had his mind on this.

"This is Ukraine's territory, and it's not good for us to explore."

Edel's words startled Bretianu, and it would be very serious if the secret exploration of resources in neighboring countries was exposed.

"Don't be afraid, there are our troops stationed there, just let them send troops to protect the exploration team in the name of training."

It is obvious that Edel is the king who eats the scales and is determined to explore the resources of neighboring countries.

Seeing that his own king does not care about his diplomatic reputation, he also needs to explore neighboring countries.

"Your Majesty, please consider this matter carefully."

The Prime Minister is a little unhappy, after all, this is detrimental to the face of the kingdom.

"I've thought about it. Just do what I say."

In the face of the king's willful and even tough attitude, Bretianu felt a little uncomfortable.

"His Majesty……"

"Go do it."

After Edel finished speaking, he waved his hand and let the Prime Minister swallow his words.

Looking at the back of the Prime Minister leaving, Edel didn't know what to think.
