Chapter 111 - Luo Bao on the first chapter
When the Bulgarian special train drove into the Bucharest Railway Station, the Romanian receptionists who had been waiting were already ready, and Romanian Prime Minister Bretianu and Foreign Minister Barsnock were already ready.
“Your Excellency, Romania’s Prime Minister Bretianu and Foreign Minister Barsnock are waiting at the platform.” A member of the delegation stepped forward for Prime Minister Geschoff and Foreign Minister Tiras Loch, reporting to the Romanian welcome team.
“Okay, we see.” Foreign Minister Dilas Roche waved his hand to let the member leave first. Then talked to Prime Minister Geschov next to him. “It seems that Romania still pays more attention to us.”
In the face of the Foreign Minister’s words, Prime Minister Geschoff did not answer, and after finishing his clothes, he said. “Don’t let the Romanians wait too long.” After speaking, he walked to the car door with a smile on his face, and Foreign Minister Dilas Lodge followed closely behind him.
Prime Minister Bretianu and Foreign Minister Barnosk, who were waiting on the platform, walked down from the car door with a smile while Geschov brought Dilas Lodge, Bretianu and Barnosk. Welcomed up.
“Prime Minister Geschoff, on behalf of Romania, I welcome your visit. I believe that this visit can increase Romania’s relations with Bulgaria and make us like brothers.”
Bretianu stepped forward to welcome Geschov.
“Thank you very much, Prime Minister Bretianu, for coming to greet us personally. This time we in Bulgaria are here to inspect the development achievements of Romania in the past few years. I hope that Romanian friends will not hide their privates.”
Prime Minister Geschoff made a joke when he stated his nominal goal this time.
“In the face of Bulgarian friends, we must be honest with each other and pass on the experience of Romania to you.”
Prime Minister Bretianu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, even if he tells Bulgaria they can’t do it. After all, Bulgaria does not have any resources, so it depends on how to develop its economy. At any rate, Romania can still produce oil and food to have a foundation to support development.
The two prime ministers had a hypocritical conversation. The two foreign ministers did not speak, and both looked at each other with a smile, as if they were facing their long-lost brothers.
In the end, I saw that the two prime ministers had almost talked about it, and it was Barnosk who asked as the host. “We have prepared a welcome dinner, don’t you know that Prime Minister Geschoff needs a break?”
“Thanks to Foreign Minister Barnosk for his thorough consideration.” Prime Minister Geschov also felt that the conversation was not good. After thanking Barnosk for some time, he said to Prime Minister Bretianu. “We really need a rest after taking the train for more than a day.”
“It’s okay.” Bretianu said generously. “This is because I didn’t think about it well. I should give you a break, but you must attend the welcome dinner.”
“In the face of Romania’s enthusiasm, of course, we have to feel it alive.”
After the staff from both sides let the other side feel their enthusiasm, Foreign Minister Barnoske brought the Bulgarian delegation into the Kingdom Hotel hosted by the Romanian government. After bringing the delegation led by Prime Minister Geschov to the Kingdom Hotel, Barnoske left first.
After watching Barnosk go, Tirasloch looked around there were no hotel staff, all members of the delegation, and asked Prime Minister Geschov. “Romania is too enthusiastic this time, it seems they have guessed our intentions.”
After hearing what Dilas Lodge said, Prime Minister Geschov replied. “I couldn’t hide this from them at first, and we could fool someone with our actions in the Balkans.” Prime Minister Geschov continued after a pause. “However, from the conversation with Prime Minister Bretianu, Romania should have been prepared long ago, and it is estimated that the asking price will not be too low.”
Hearing Prime Minister Geschov’s words, Foreign Minister Tirasloch was a little surprised. “Is this very troublesome for the purpose of our visit?”
“This is not troublesome. The most troublesome thing is that Romania is indifferent to our visit. It would be bad if it doesn’t join the league.” Prime Minister Geschov said what he thought was the worst result.
Hearing Prime Minister Geschov’s words, Tirasloch thought that the Balkan League was at war with the Ottomans, and Romania, the country with the most powerful Balkan army, plunged in from behind. Then the picture is chilling when you think of it. Now the Balkan countries know that Romania’s army is organized according to the German army, and it is not inferior to Germany in terms of equipment. Even if it is inferior in training, it is not comparable to that of several countries. Moreover, Romania’s mobilization capacity is much higher than that of them. There is no problem in pulling an army of 800,000. After all, it is the most populous of several countries.
Edel actually considered this possibility, but if he did so, the history he knew would be changed beyond recognition, and it was estimated that the Allies would not be able to join in World War I. Even if they joined, they would not get that much benefit. In the end, he gave up this tempting idea.
After the two talked, they were not young people anymore. They took a break in their respective rooms and prepared to attend a dinner party prepared for them by Romania.
When the lights were about to come, Prime Minister Geschoff and Foreign Minister Tirasloki were all ready in evening gowns. Considering that the Bulgarian delegation arrived in the afternoon, the welcome dinner will be arranged in the banquet hall of the Kingdom Hotel.
“Are you all ready?” Prime Minister Geschoff asked who was going to attend.
“Ready.” These people all expressed their opinions.
“Then go.”
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Geschov, the members of the Bulgarian delegation followed him and the foreign minister downstairs to the banquet hall.
When Prime Minister Bretianu saw Geschov coming downstairs with the delegation, he brought Foreign Minister Barnosk to greet him. “Prime Minister Geschoff, welcome to this dinner specially set up for you, and hope to make everyone happy.”
“Thank you Prime Minister Bretianu for preparing the dinner for us. I believe everyone can have a good time.” Prime Minister Geschoff also said thankful words.
At the invitation of Prime Minister Bretianu, Prime Minister Geschov led the delegation into the dinner hall. For a while, the cups of light interlaced and the voices of the people burst, the dinner party also began lively, and the two prime ministers also began to chat.
“His Royal Highness Prince Edel is here.”
With the sound of the communication sound, the crowd calmed down. Everyone who came to the dinner knew what to do. The crowd was automatically separated by a link to the doorway, and the two prime ministers were also at the bottom of the channel.
After everyone got their seats, Edel walked directly from the door to Prime Minister Geschov, who was led by the Bulgarian delegation. When he walked over, the crowds on both sides of the passage saluted him.
Edel walked up to Geschoff and took a glass of wine, turned and spoke to the people present. “Let us make a toast to the guests from Bulgaria and wish the relations between the two countries more friendly.”
After hearing the crown prince’s speech, everyone present raised their glasses and shouted loudly. “Cheers for the friendship between the two countries.”
Edel also raised his glass to drink it with everyone. After Geschoff drank the glass of wine next to him, he knew it was a good opportunity. As a neighboring country of Romania, they certainly know the status and power of the Crown Prince Edel. It can be said that Romania has been able to develop so fast in recent years, and it is inseparable from the promotion of this young man in his twenties.
From the development of the Ploiesti oil field, to the large economic loans from Germany, and then to reorganize the Romanian army, a large number of Romanian industries were established. Especially the automobile industry and the petroleum industry are the result of his efforts. Now Romania is the second largest supplier of refined oil in Europe and the largest manufacturer of automobiles and tractors. He has transformed Romania from an agricultural country in just a few years. Time is taken to countries with a preliminary industrial foundation.
I really don’t know if this is natural ability or acquired by training, but it seems that he was born with no mistakes in investment. Now Geschoff is a little envious that Romania can get a wise future monarch, which can make the country develop faster.
Geschoff can’t care about Romania’s good fate now, UU reading www.uukanshu. com now he knows this is an opportunity for Bulgaria, as long as he can convince the young man in front of him, it will save Bulgaria a lot of money to get the desired result. Thinking of this, Geschoff took a glass of wine and walked to Edel.
“I have seen your Highness. Your vision for the relationship between the two countries is what we hope for in Bulgaria. May we be friendly for generations.”
Edel responded when he heard Geschoff walking up to him with the wine. “May we be friendly from generation to generation.”
After making a polite sentence, Geschoff began to get into the topic. “I don’t know what your Highness thinks of Osman?”
Hearing the words of the smiling Bulgarian Prime Minister before him, Edel knew that he was testing himself, but he was not so tempting. “Regarding the Ottoman Empire, I think he is changing himself. It can be seen that Germany is helping to rectify his army after Al-Shabaab came to power.”
Prime Minister Geschoff saw that the crown prince was unwilling to express his attitude and decided to continue. “But now the Ottoman Empire is oppressing all ethnic groups on its European territory, Serbians, Greeks, Montenegrinians and Bulgarians in our country. Among them are more than 100,000 Romanians living in Macedonia. Your Highness, we cannot watch. My own people are so humiliated.”
Facing Prime Minister Geschoff’s questioning in a righteous way, Edel made up his mind to play with the word drag. “I will seriously consider what your Excellency said, but it needs the Cabinet to deal with it.”
Seeing that Crown Prince Edel was still reluctant to say more, Geschoff knew he would not get the answer either. However, letting the Romanian master know the purpose of Bulgaria’s visit this time is also good for them to negotiate for two days. And through the speech with the crown prince and the scale of the reception, he can feel that he does not expect the worst situation to happen.
