Romanian Eagle

　　 Edel was very satisfied with this visit to Austria-Hungary. He solved his personal problems and strengthened Romania’s coastal defense capabilities. Basically, the purpose of this time has been achieved, and it is a successful visit.

　　 After returning to Romania, Edel was called by his impatient parents. Just like ordinary parents, they care about their children’s spouse.

　　 “How about girl Edel?” the impatient mother, Queen Elizabeth, asked eagerly after Edel was seated.

　　 “Queen, you are too impatient, wait for Edel to speak.” As a father, Carol I persuaded his wife, and from his tone, he was also very concerned about his son’s spouse.

　　 “I just care about my son’s marriage.”

　　 The mother rarely refuted his father, which surprised Edel. In his 21 years of experience, his mother has hardly opposed his father. It seems that his mother is indeed impatient. Seeing this, Edel first coughed twice, and after relieving the atmosphere, he told about Sophie Marie’s situation.

　　 “Mother, Sophie Marie is a nice girl, gentle and kind, and loves riding…”

　　 Edel recalled her performance when she was with Sophie Marie, while organizing words to speak to her parents.

　　 “Then do you plan to marry her as your wife?” Carol I asked him and his wife the most important core questions.

　　 “Father, I think she is my suitable other half.” Edel said his plan.

　　 “Then when do you plan to marry her?”

　　 After hearing his father’s words, Edel knew when he got married was not his own choice, but according to his parents’ current mood, it shouldn’t be slow. So he replied. “You call the shots, I have no opinion.”

　　 After hearing what their son said, both Carol and his wife laughed in satisfaction. A week later, the Romanian royal family asked Prince Edel to marry Princess Sophie Marie of the Austro-Hungarian royal family. Of course, Austria-Hungary would not refuse to agree to it on the third day. After the next telegram exchange, Austria-Hungary and Romania finally scheduled their marriage to September 15.

　　 When his mother was busy with Zhang Luo’s own marriage, his father Carol I called Edel into his room.

　　 “Edel, what do you think of the current election?” Carol I asked Edel about the Romanian parliamentary election.

　　 In addition to being busy with his own marriage during this time, Edel was also very concerned about the election. It needs to be clarified here that Romania is still competing for the Prime Minister’s seat between the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party. The Liberal Party introduced Ikang Bretianu as a candidate to compete for the prime minister’s seat, while the Conservative Party launched Tito Mayorescu as a candidate to compete with the Liberal Party. The two sides are now fighting in the parliament in an inextricable battle, and both want to take the prime minister’s throne into their own hands.

　　 Here I want to mention the outgoing old Prime Minister Sturrill. He is the leader of the Liberal Party who is pro-British and French (conservative pro-German). In fact, he is only the royal family. He is also close to whom the royal family is close to. It is really the chameleon of Romanian politics. But it was his performance that was able to hold the prime minister’s throne for ten years. In addition, he was able to suppress other domestic voices during Edel’s industrialization period and fully promote Romania’s industrialization process. Therefore, half of Romania’s current achievements are due to him.

　　 If it weren’t for him to retreat bravely this time, it is estimated that he would be able to do it for a few years. However, this old fox knew that he had occupied the first phase for so long, and it had caused a lot of dissatisfaction. If he stayed any longer, he might be greeted by the anger of the people, and the royal family would not be able to protect himself for the sake of the family’s future and his own reputation. The old fox would retreat.

　　 Now the two prime minister candidates know that in order to win, they must be recognized by the royal family. The two debated on topics ranging from people’s livelihood to industry to infrastructure construction. Now even the international situation has become the focus of their confrontation.

　　 The Conservative Party candidate Mayorescu published in the newspaper about the prospect of establishing a closer relationship with Germany. He hopes to get more loans from Germany through closer ties with Germany. Mayorescu’s speech was supported by the two German and Austrian ambassadors.

　　 But Bredianu expressed different opinions. He believes that although Romania has developed well, its national strength is still relatively weak. You should not tie yourself to a tree. He needs to handle relations with other countries, which means he wants to find a balance between the Allies and the Allies. His speech was endorsed by the ambassadors of Britain, France and Russia.

　　 Edel replied after thinking about it. “Now the Conservative Party’s Mayorescu and the Liberal Party’s Bredianu are mixed with too many external forces. This is not a good time to choose.”

　　 There is a reason for Edel’s answer to this sentence, because the old king is closer to Germany and agrees with Mayorescu. And he knew that Germany was doomed to fail, and it was really possible to be drawn into the camp by continuing to approach Germany. Before, he pretended to be close to Germany only for German economic aid, and now it is a bit self-defeating. I don’t know if his acting skills are too real. Everyone, including his father, thinks that he prefers Germany. This makes Edel very embarrassed, and now he needs to hold Romania’s slid to Germany.

　　 “Then what do you think should be done.” Carol I asked him.

　　After thinking for a long time, Edel decided to tell the truth to the old king. “Now our relations with Germany have attracted the attention of other major powers in Europe. If this continues, we will join the struggle between the Allies and the Allies. This is not in line with our positioning. Romania has developed well in recent years, but it is still too weak to be too early. The card table.”

　　 “Edel, I thought you would move closer to Germany, after all, we are both the Hohenzollern family.” Carol I said to Edel. Although he is now the King of Romania, it seems that Carol I still has feelings for Germany.

　　 Regarding Carol I’s thoughts, Edel could only dispel his thoughts in advance. “Father, we are the Romanian royal family after all, and we need to be responsible to the Romanian people. It is too risky to join Germany now and we need to bet when we see the situation clearly.”

　　 “Then what do you mean?” Carol I asked his son what he thought.

　　 “We have a good relationship with Germany, and now we need to strengthen our relationship with the Allied Powers.” Edel directly challenged the old king to his ideas.

　　 When Edel clarified his views on the old king, the possibility of the king’s support for the Democratic Party was also discussed in the little Bretianu’s house. Wendyle Bretianu is asking his cousin, Yi Kang Bretianu, why he would make remarks to move closer to Britain and France.

　　 “Cousin, you are too impulsive. Now everyone knows the royal family’s goodwill towards Germany. Your speech will make you perform poorly in front of the royal family.”

　　 As the son of the late politician Jan C. Bretianu, Wentiler Bretianu is not low in the Liberal Party. But now his cousin Yi Kang Bretianu is performing better, so he is suppressed by his cousin Shine. Most people now think that his cousin is the successor to the founder of the Liberal Party, Jan C. Bretia, and he is just an assistant. He is not without dissatisfaction with this, but his cousin is indeed much better than him. In addition, the Bouletia family’s political resources can only be concentrated on one person to seize the prime minister’s office, so he can only serve as his cousin’s deputy.

　　 Yi Kang Bretia heard his cousin’s words and explained to him why he did it. “Wintiller, you just see the surface. Have you noticed the performance of Prince Edel in the past few years?”

　　 He continued without waiting for his cousin to answer. “I have carefully understood His Royal Highness, but the focus is different from yours. You are all concerned about his political methods and ideas, and I mainly see if everything he does is more beneficial to Romania. In the end I found that he was better than old The king pays more attention to practical interests. This is a good thing for Romania. After all, a monarch who loves his people and superb means is good news for any country. It is time for Romania to release goodwill from the crown prince to Britain and France~www.mtlnovel.com ~So you are betting that His Majesty the King will make concessions to the Crown Prince?” His cousin said Yi Kang Bretia’s thoughts.

　　 Yi Kang Bretia watched his cousin speak in a low voice. “After all, the king is 71 years old. What do you think he has done to establish prestige for the crown prince in recent years?”

　　 Wendyle Bretianu recalled the performance of the old king in the past few years. Only when the army began to plot a rebellion, he took action. The rest were left to the crown prince to play his role, almost regarded as a semi-retirement stage. Thinking of this, he once again admires his cousin’s precise vision. It seems that he is still a long way from the prime minister.

　　 In the palace, Carol I was finally persuaded by Edel and decided to release goodwill to the Allies and prepare to support I. Kang Bretia as the prime minister to form a cabinet. In the elections on February 15th, Yi Kang Bretia, who was backed by the royal family, won, as expected. He got 95 of the 157 votes in the parliament, which means that the Liberal Party will continue to form a cabinet independently. In the subsequent formation of the cabinet, he was very clever to not move the person whom the crown prince fancy to promote, but changed other candidates.

　　 Britain, France, and Russia have all overwhelmed the Romanian general election. In their opinion, Romania is almost going to become Germany’s own land. What it means to be a prime minister of a pro-Entente country simply knows too well. Germany and Austria are also greatly disappointed in the Romanian elections, but since the new prime minister has not moved yet, it is difficult for them to express any opinions.

　　 In this way, the new Romanian government, headed by Icon Bretia, began to appear in front of the world.
