　　 After Edel arranged for Volkswagen to develop new models, Austria-Hungary finally couldn’t stand the two countries that had been secretly working on the issue of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

　　 With the support of Germany, Austria-Hungary will announce semi-mobilization in early March. At the same time, Germany also issued a threatening note to Russia, announcing that Russia must recognize Austria-Hungary’s sovereignty over Bosnia and Herzegovina. If Russia continues to support Serbia’s dispute over Bosnia and Herzegovina, Germany and Austria will take military actions against Russia.

　　 Just as Edel was watching a play, a telegram from Germany pulled him into this crisis.

　　 “His Royal Highness, Your Majesty asks you to come over.” Edel was in office this day. Chief Adrian came over and told the crown prince that the king had something to do with him. After hearing this, Edel thought in his heart that there hasn’t been any major event that can alarm his father recently. In the past two years, Carol I handed over most of the work to Edel in order to train the crown prince. Now the king has rarely asked about political affairs except for major issues. This time his father’s invitation naturally made Edel think that there was something else in the country.

　　 After thinking that nothing happened, Edel asked, “Who is my father now?”

　　 “The German Ambassador Baslob is with Your Majesty.”

　　 After hearing the manager’s account, Edel thought in his heart whether it was because of the Bosnia-Herzegovina crisis that he sought our diplomatic support. The crown prince didn’t think much. He walked to the old King Carol’s room and saw that his father and the German ambassador were the only two in the room. Even the chief executive Adrie closed the door after the crown prince walked into the room.

　　 “Father, what are you looking for me?” Even though he was puzzled, Edel asked the old king first.

　　 “Edel has one thing now, I think I need to ask for your opinion.” Carol I said.

　　 “Father, please tell me, I will think about it seriously.” The crown prince saw that this is not a simple matter, so he should listen to it first. Unexpectedly, it was the German ambassador Baslob who talked about this matter next.

　　 “His Royal Highness, in order to ensure the accuracy of this matter, let me tell the crown prince.”

　　 Seeing that the old king had no objection, Edel motioned for Baslob to continue.

“I’m here this time hoping to get your country’s support for the Bosnia and Herzegovina issue. Your Royal Highness should know about the relationship between our Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This time I sent a notice to Russia. It was because they were too unscrupulous in the Balkans. This is every one of them. Those who love peace cannot bear it.”

　　 Edel asked after hearing the ambassador’s description. “What kind of support do you need.”

　　 Faced with the interrupted questioning by the crown prince, the ambassador continued speaking without annoyance. “We hope that when Russia is obsessed with it, Romania can join us in punishing Russia, and in return we can forgive your country’s debt. At the same time, we believe that the Moldavian people have the right to choose the country they like.”

When Edel heard this, he basically knew what Germany meant. If Germany and Austria-Hungary now declare war on Russia and Romania participates, Germany can forgive more than 200 million marks of debt and distribute it to Romania’s Moldavia region (because most of the local area All Romanians who speak Latin).

　　 After hearing the shocking news, Edel did not immediately respond. The old king and ambassador Baslob did not immediately ask, and they were all waiting for the crown prince’s reply. After he carefully recalled that there was no war between Germany and Russia before World War I, how could Romania be involved this time?

　　 In fact, the Bosnia-Herzegovina crisis has nothing to do with Romania. This time it is implicated in Romania because of Edel himself. After borrowing heavily from Germany, Germany believed that Romania was about to fall to the Allies. In addition, after Ludendorff returned home, he told Xiao Maoqi about the strength of the Romanian army. In the Bosnia-Herzegovina crisis, the German emperor also wants to see if Romania is really willing to follow in the footsteps of Germany. That’s why this time the move to draw Romania into a military act.

　　 “Mr. Ambassador, can you give us two days first, this matter is too big and we need to discuss it.” The crown prince can only delay it for a while. The matter is too sudden and needs to be eased and cleared up.

　　 “Well, your lord, I’ll come back in two days.” Ambassador Baslob didn’t even think about it. Romania would agree in one fell swoop. Two days of deliberations on such major issues are fast enough.

　　 After seeing the German ambassador Baslob going out, the old king asked Edel. “Edel is now facing Germany’s request, what should we do?”

　　 “My father asked me to think about it first. I don’t dare to make a decision on such a big matter easily.”

　　 After the crown prince returned to his office, he asked not to disturb himself. In a quiet environment, Edel carefully analyzed the impact of the crisis on Romania.

　　 Now the Kaiser’s request to participate in the war has given Edel a headache, even though in the memory of his previous life, the war broke out in 1914. But everything is not absolute, in case Nicholas II knocks his head in this world and refuses the demands of Germany and Austria. France will not allow Russia to face Germany and Austria alone. This will become a declaration of war between Germany and Austria. France will declare war on Germany and Austria. Britain will also follow the declaration of war. In this way, the war will break out early.

　　 This made Edel, who wanted to make a lot of war money in the early stages of World War I, couldn’t accept it. However, if the Kaiser’s request was rejected, World War I would break out according to the scheduled trajectory. So it is certain that the withdrawal of German capital is a very likely problem, and the payment will also be required to be repaid in advance.

　　 The current industrial construction in Romania is at a critical juncture, and the reorganization of the army has not been completed, so there is no money to pay off debts. Even selling Edel would not be enough to repay the debt, so this is a dilemma. Now we can only analyze the current situation carefully and choose a choice that is not prone to accidents.

　　 “Bring me the current information about Russia.” Edel called to the guard outside the door. Thanks to the fact that Romania now attaches the most importance to Russian intelligence, the guards walked in with a lot of information about Russia.

　　 “Post it on the desk and you can go out, don’t let anyone disturb me.” Edel ordered the guard, and saw the guard walk out and close the door. Edel picked up all kinds of information about Russia, and in the following time, Edel checked all kinds of information about Russia’s politics, economy, public security and so on. After checking, Edel initially found that despite the French blood transfusion, he judged that the Russian economy had not fully recovered to the state before the Russo-Japanese War, and the war potential was greatly reduced.

　　 In this case, the probability of Russia rejecting the demands of Germany and Austria is very small. Even if Tsar Nicholas II refuses, he will be discouraged from returning by the minister. After all, no one is a fool.

　　 After getting the answer, Edel walked out of the room and found that the chief guard was waiting for him anxiously with a group of guards outside. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

　　 “His Royal Highness, you have finally come out. You have been inside for five hours.” Seeing the crown prince who opened the door, the chief of guard Carust came forward and said with concern.

　　 “I have nothing to do to let them go. I’m a little hungry when I bring something over.” Edel ordered his head guard. After eating, Edel came to Carol I’s office and saw his old father who was also thinking about the same problem.

　　 “Father, I have considered it, and we can agree to this request from Germany.”

　　 “Tell me the reason.” Carol asked his crown prince with interest.

“The reason is very simple. Now the Russian economy has not fully recovered, and there is not enough money to finance finances. Politically, the activities of the Socialists have not been completely calmed down. There are still various small riots among the people. These data show that Russia is not yet capable of fighting a big battle.

　　 After talking about Russia’s problems, Edel talked about China. “Germany has a great influence on us now, economic and military are inseparable from their support, we are now unable to reject the request of the Kaiser.”

　　 After listening to Edel’s analysis, Carol I thought about it. He knew what the crown prince meant. Now Russia is afraid to fight. In addition, Romania now needs Germany and can do a speculation. Even when Carol didn’t think of it himself, Edel said after the problem with this plan, “You can do as you say.”

　　 Two days later, the German ambassador Baslob came to the palace, still in the office of the old king, still the three before. But this time, Edel, who had already decided, told the German ambassador. “Thank you for the love of Germany. If Germany and Austria take military actions against Russia in this crisis, Romania is willing to follow in Germany’s footsteps and join this action.”
