Romanian Eagle

The evening breeze from the Atlantic Ocean makes the cruise ship cool, which greatly relieves the scorching summer heat, and many tourists come to the luxury cruise ship St. Louis to escape the heat. Captain Abel looked at the leisurely tourists, turned his head and asked the first mate with concern, "Is our distinguished VIP better?"

The first mate, who was the captain's deputy, nodded and replied. "In the afternoon, I brought someone over to deliver some fresh fruit. I heard that it was much better."

Hearing the adjutant's words, Captain Abel, who was used to seasickness, was relieved. No way, the distinguished guests this time are a little too honorable, and Captain Abel can't help it.

In the largest and most luxurious guest room on the luxury cruise ship St. Louis, Edel's face was still a little pale, and there was no way anyone could make him seasick. He has never traveled far since he was born, and of course he has never done an ocean cruise. The first time I sat, I was unfortunately seasick, and the situation was relatively heavy, which made the entourage a busy meal.

However, at present, there is no special medicine for seasickness in the world, only some sleeping pills can be prescribed for relief. So Edel has been looking sluggish these days. Fortunately, after a few days of adaptation, Eder's seasickness symptoms improved a lot, and people didn't look so anxious.

"Mary, it's alright, it's just seasickness."

Edel looked at his worried wife beside him and comforted her.

"You look so bad these days, how could I not be worried."

"It's really okay, you see I'm much better."

Facing Edel's words, his wife Mary's expression softened a lot. You must know that when Edel was on the boat for a day, he vomited so much that he almost vomited out bile. Compared to that time, Edel just doesn't look good now.

"Then eat some fruit. I heard that eating some fruit can relieve seasickness."

Looking at his wife's concerned eyes, Edel took the apple in his hand.

In fact, Edel looked bad. In addition to seasickness, the visit to Britain and France did not go well.

If the previous trips to the three countries were all successful, then the visits to Britain and France were a bit frustrating for Edel. Eder, who had just visited Italy at the time, was somewhat satisfied with the results he obtained in three consecutive countries. Therefore, he had high expectations for the visit to Britain and France, and the result was a blow to him.

Originally, Eder planned to discuss the introduction of military industry and other technologies with the French government, as well as discussions on the relationship between the Small Entente and Romania, and so on. But I don't know if it was because the Soviet Union turned to domestic construction, France delayed the export of various technologies under various excuses. Moreover, regarding the relationship between the Small Entente and Romania, he refused to discuss with Romania on the grounds of not interfering with other countries.

This makes Eder very discouraged, because the so-called small Allied powers currently formed by France include Poland, the Czech Republic, and Serbia. Although these countries have good relations with Romania at present, but looking at their geographical location, maybe this alliance against Germany may turn its guns on Romania.

Although it did not appear in the original history, but now Romania has grown to such a degree, it does not say that there is no such possibility. In Romania, many people are a little worried about this alliance.

Because these countries and Romania cannot be said to be without disputes. For example, Poland has conflicts in Western Galicia. Because Lviv is a famous Polish city, it should belong to Poland in terms of history and ethnic composition, but it was occupied by Romania. So regardless of the fact that Romania and Poland are as good as honey at present, the Romanian government has never let down its vigilance against the Polish people there. Because Romania cannot afford to lose the region, which is currently its only heavy industry base.

Just like the relationship between the Northeast and China in the 1950s and 1960s, it was the top priority.

The Czech Republic also has a dispute with Romania in the Carpathian Mountains in the east, because it annexed the Slovak region, and the Slovaks in the Carpathian Mountains in the east account for more than 40% of the population. In the Czech Republic, there are also newspapers from time to time claiming that the region should be incorporated into the country. This clamour has reached new heights, especially after the discovery of oil resources in the region. Although the Czech government has not responded to this, Romania is still vigilant about it.

Serbia also has a dispute with Romania over the Sava Valley. Because the area is home to nearly half of the Serbs, but it was assigned to Romania because of the treaty.

Therefore, for this small Allied country led by France, many people in Romania believe that this kind of alliance may be led to target Romania. You must know that the tragic war that just ended was caused by the small country Serbia. If it wasn't for Russia to support it, would they dare to fight Austria-Hungary like this?

Therefore, after the French categorically rejected Romania's request, it attracted people in Romania to speculate on the intention of its organization to form an alliance. In fact, France has also had the idea of ​​pulling Romania into this alliance before, but considering that Romania may compete for the dominance of its alliance after joining, this idea has been shelved.

The setback in France made Eder see the complicated mentality of France towards Romania at present. Not only because Romania is on the front line of the Soviet Union, it is hoped that it will grow strong enough to block the invasion of the Red Empire, but also because Romania is too powerful to compete with France for the interests of the Balkans and Central Europe. This kind of precarious action caused Eder to fail to achieve much results in France. Apart from a treaty for the two countries to jointly respond to the red threat, it has achieved almost nothing.

As for the visit to the UK is not bad.

In addition to the British people's efforts in etiquette, it is also difficult for Romania to introduce many technologies such as shipbuilding, aviation, and engines.

In Edel's talks with Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, the moderate Conservative leader was less wary of the Red Empire than his predecessors. This made Eder, who had planned to start with this aspect, feel that the results of this visit were worrying, and in fact it was.

Although the British government held a grand welcome ceremony for the arrival of the Romanian king, George V even invited the Edels to stay at Buckingham Palace. But the British were less hospitable to Romania during the talks, and various excuses made the talks almost fruitless.

This made Edel, who had planned to stay in the UK for more than half a month, take the St. Louis to the United States in just one week.

Next, I hope that in the United States, it will not be like Britain and France. You must know that Edel has high hopes for the trip to the United States.
