Romanian Eagle

Meeting with Hitler, who was still young, gave Edel enough benefits. Of course this is investing in the future. For now, Romania has also reaped enough benefits. After more than half a month of negotiation, the Rhodes mutual aid contract was finally successfully reached.

In fact, for such a contract that benefits both parties, negotiation is also due. Because this is a sufficient benefit for both parties, Romania has the market and funds that Germany urgently needs, and Germany has the technical equipment that Romania needs, so the negotiations between the two parties are quite fast.

So when Eder returned to Berlin, the outcome of this negotiation was also presented to him. The part about the disclosure is the economic and trade friendship treaty between the two countries. In this treaty Romania and Germany strengthen the economic complementarity of the two countries according to their respective needs.

Germany imports petroleum, automobiles, and grain and other agricultural products from Romania, and exports metallurgical, chemical, mining equipment, machine tools and other equipment to strengthen economic and trade exchanges between the two countries. In addition, Germany will also open up alloy manufacturing, chemical technology, mining technology, shipbuilding and other restricted export technologies, and will also open to Romania.

However, in order to make more profits for domestic companies, the German side insisted on using these new technologies to invest in Romanian companies. In this regard, the Romanian negotiators agreed to their request after consulting Eder.

So eventually these technologies will appear in Romania in the form of joint ventures, which will also strengthen Romania's industrial base. As for giving up some profits, in Edel's opinion, it is not harmful. 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. The German tungsten alloy cutter head has always been the guarantee of its excellent mechanical equipment, and this technology is equally important to Romania. If it weren't for the poor family who couldn't open the pot, the Germans would not be able to share this technology.

Therefore, Edel is very satisfied with this economic mutual assistance contract. What made him more satisfied was yet to come, that is, the terms of Dro's secret military exchange. Because this is a guarantee to comprehensively strengthen Romanian military technology, so that it will not fall behind the times.

In the terms of this secret exchange, Germany and Romania will jointly develop new tanks, aircraft, artillery, submarines, warships and other weapons. In addition, in the next five years, Germany will send 1,000 officers to Romania as the two sides to study various military cooperation plans such as armored operations, aircraft operation, logistics support, ship command coordination, and communication confidentiality.

Facing the fruitful negotiation results, Eder's trip to Germany can be said to be very satisfied, and there can be no better results than this. To this end, he commended the foreign minister Costel and the chief of staff, General Féliet, for this negotiation.

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

Eder looked at the results in front of him and praised the two senior military and political officials who were in charge of the negotiations with joy.

Facing Edel's praise, Foreign Secretary Costel, who is in charge of the open negotiations, disagreed. "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 negotiated, and the German side is meeting its expectations. In the circumstances, let go.”

After Foreign Secretary Costel expressed his doubts, the Chief of the General Staff, Admiral Féreit, expressed his doubts. "This also happened in my negotiations with the German military. At first I thought it was Germany's emphasis on Romania,

But then I felt like I was going to complete a task at a certain time. This makes me wonder if Germany is afraid that if something is exposed, the negotiations will be deadlocked. "

"I have that suspicion too."

Facing the doubts of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Chief of General Staff, Edel suddenly had a thought, and he took it up and said. "It is certainly the countries that are a threat to Romania that can hinder negotiations."

"It's the Soviet Union."

"It's Russian."

The Foreign Secretary and the Chief of General Staff mean the same thing, although they say different words.

There are several countries that could pose a threat to Romania, but only the Soviet Union would trouble the negotiations. Don't look at the fact that Romanian domestic public opinion doesn't care about the Soviet Union, and they often preach that the Soviets are Romania's defeated soldiers. But sober military and political leaders all know how much the Soviet Union is threatening Romania. Even the only country Romania needs to guard against at the moment is the Soviet Union.

Moreover, Germany has a record of secret negotiations with the Soviet Union. You must know that Germany negotiated the Rapallo Treaty with the Soviet Union before the Genoa Conference. Different from the anti-Soviet Union when Hitler was in power, the current relationship between Germany and the Soviet Union can be described as very close, and the two isolated countries are very naturally warmed up by newspaper groups.

Unlike others, Eder is of course aware of the secret military cooperation between the Soviet Union and Germany in the 1920s and 1930s. The purpose of his visit this time is to weaken the military cooperation between the Soviet Union and Germany, but it does not seem to have much effect at present. It is obvious that the German side has the idea of ​​marrying one girl and two girls.

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

Foreign Secretary Costell couldn't help but ask. This is not that he is in a mess, but a conscious test of Edel's attitude towards this.

"We are just guessing and cannot be used as a basis."

Edel said, picked up the negotiated contract and talked about it. "And the outcome of this negotiation is very important to us, which is to strengthen our country, so I will not allow the execution of the contract to be affected."

Obviously, Eder is taking this to express his attitude, because the secret cooperation between Sod and Germany will be exposed sooner or later, which may affect some domestic views. Edel is taking a stand now, and no matter what his opinion is, it cannot affect the outcome of this negotiation.

In the face of Edel's statement, the two present nodded again and again. "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, no one can influence this cooperation."

After sending the two away, Edel couldn't help but sigh. Even Romania could not stop the cooperation between the Soviet Union and Germany in the 1920s and 1930s. Because Romania cannot give Germany what it needs.

In fact, the secret military cooperation negotiation between the Soviet Union and Germany has come to an end, and the military cooperation between the Soviet Union and Germany is about to start. Once the Soviet military strength is strengthened, Romania needs to face greater pressure, which needs to be faced by Eder. So the next visit also becomes more important.
