Romanian Eagle

　　 “Am I doing good to them? Germany is about to lend them a loan of 300 million marks.”

　　 Kaiser Wilhelm II asked the Prime Minister Bernhard in front of him angrily.

　　 The prime minister who was asked actually thought it was nothing. In a country eager to develop industry, who would refuse to give itself a low-interest loan? Everyone talks about interests between countries, and who talks about feelings. Now it is only the emperor’s own frustration that he can vent. After all, before William II also asked the General Staff to add the Romanian army to the war plan. Unexpectedly, something went wrong in the ten-and-ninety-seven things, of course, the Prime Minister would not say what was in his heart.

　　 After thinking about it, Prime Minister Bernhard expressed his opinion. “Your Majesty is not that you are too good to Romania, but that you are too good to them.”

　　 After hearing the Prime Minister’s words, William II thought in his heart that this was indeed the case, and Romania’s request was rarely rejected by the Kaiser. On the one hand, Edel knew about the German Emperor, (this is what later generations must understand when writing about Germany). On the other hand, it is also related to his cognition, because he thinks Romania is already a cooked duck that can’t fly. Who knew that this situation would happen again, and the Kaiser was a little unsure of his face.

　　 “Should we do something against Romania?” William II said to himself.

　　The words of the Kaiser were heard by Bernhard, and the Prime Minister hurriedly persuaded the Kaiser. “Your Majesty, Romania is just borrowing money after all. We don’t need to get stalemate with them. This is not good for our two countries.”

　　 When William II heard the Prime Minister’s words, he calmed down. He knew that he was just angry. If he makes small moves against Romania because of loans from Britain, France and Russia, then he is not the German emperor who has been in control of Germany for more than two decades. After the Prime Minister dissuaded him, William II thought carefully, and for the sake of the overall situation, there was really no way to take Romania. Finally he saw a message on the desk and said in a fit of anger. “Send a censure telegram to the ambassador to Romania and ask him what he is doing in Romania.”

　　 “Your Majesty, I will let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs send this censure telegram in a moment.”

　　 For the prime minister who has everything to do with everything, it’s not a big deal if an ambassador is scolded. At most, it means changing to another ambassador, so he agreed very simply.

　　 For Baslob, the ambassador to Romania, this is really terrible news. He has worked hard enough. He is just an ambassador and cannot control the Romanian government. How can this be blamed on him. However, looking at the telegram sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the German Emperor, he did not dare to excuse him. Who made him a small person can only do a misfortune. However, the news that he was condemned by the German Emperor also spread through the embassy, ​​and was heard by someone with a heart.

　　 Edel quickly received news of the German ambassador being condemned in the palace. He did not care about the poor ambassador, but cared about why the Kaiser would blame the ambassador.

“There was no news from Germany this time, but it just blamed the ambassador, indicating that our actions are still within their tolerance. This is good news for us.” Edel sitting in a chair said to the head of the guard who sent the news. Your own judgment.

　　 “His Royal Highness, does this have too much influence on Romania?” The head of the guard asked with some worry.

　　Carust asked this because Romania now has the largest amount of German investment, accounting for 47% of Romania’s foreign investment. Adding the proportion of Austrian-Hungarian investment, Romania’s foreign investment and China’s allies account for two thirds. If Germany uses divestment as a warning, then the Romanian economy will be very uncomfortable, which can drag down Romania’s development momentum for several years.

　　 “Isn’t this just blaming the ambassador.” Edel explained to his chief guard indifferently.

　　 In Edel’s eyes, it is necessary to break the relationship with Germany when necessary. Joining the Allies in World War I is not within his consideration, and Romania cannot be used as a decisive force to change the situation.

　　 Now that the British and German navies are competing fiercely, the Royal Navy has just received parliamentary approval for the construction of 4 Iron Duke-class “Ultra Dreadnoughts” and a budget for a battlecruiser. Germany immediately followed up and began to build three King-class battleships with a standard displacement of 25,796 tons. According to the current situation, it seems that the trend along the historical track is very large, which makes the crown prince even more afraid to bet on Germany.

　　 When Edel looked at the current situation in Europe from the memory of later generations, the Prime Minister analyzed the situation with previous cases. In the Prime Minister’s Office, Prime Minister Bretianu also reacted to discussions with his cousin about Germany in his office. Although he is relatively close to Britain and France, as the Prime Minister of Romania, his first concern is Romania’s interests.

　　 “Germany did not respond to our actions this time, indicating that it is still within tolerance. However, during this time, try not to confuse German emotions, so that they feel Romania is like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.”

　　 Wendyle asked suspiciously after hearing what his cousin Bretianu said. “But we have signed loan agreements with the governments of Britain, France, and Russia. Can this be done?”

　　 “They are not simple in their minds about this loan, they are doing it for Romania.” Prime Minister Bretianu explained to his cousin. Seeing Wendyler who was still a little unwilling, he continued. “Now the domestic economy still needs Germany’s help. During this period of time, we can’t make any move that affects the relationship between the two parties too much.”

　　 “I know this, but the smell of gunpowder over Europe is too strong now. I am afraid that Romania will be forced to get involved~www.mtlnovel.com~ This will make the country unbearable.” Wendiller said his worries.

　　 Now that the great power struggles, most politicians believe that a great war is inevitable. The military expenditures of all major powers are now more than 30% of their fiscal revenues, and Romania’s integrated army has not reached their level. With such a high military expenditure and the rising antagonism of various countries, it is impossible for everyone to wake up without going through a major war. Romania, as a small country, can only be used as cannon fodder no matter which side it stands. This is also the cause of Wendiller’s anxiety.

　　 “You are too anxious, Wentiler. Although most people in China have a good impression of Germany, the decision is not in them.” Prime Minister Bretianu persuaded his cousin.

　　 Wendy sighed after hearing his cousin’s words. “I hope I’m too worried.”

　　 After finishing talking, Wentiler walked out of the room and saw Bretianu, who had left his cousin, closing the door, lying on the sofa with exhaustion. Before becoming prime minister, he always thought that this was a job that everyone envied. After becoming prime minister, he found that too many unsatisfactory things were waiting for him.

　　 Thinking back to the position of Prime Minister now, Bretianu secretly hurt himself. From the time when the kingdom was established, when his uncle became prime minister, the king needed the approval of the prime minister to make decisions. When he became prime minister, he needed the royal family’s consent to do things. I really felt aggrieved. In recent years, the royal family has gradually regained power, especially in recent years, the royal family has increased its investment in industry, and now half of the large companies that have developed well in Romania are held by the royal family. Among them, the former Prime Minister Stulier should bear the main responsibility. If he hadn’t obeyed the royal line, he wouldn’t be what he is now. This hidden thought, Prime Minister Bretianu has not told anyone, including his cousin Wendiller and his family.
