Chapter 227
The Third Reich, Bolin, the ruling government.
The dusty Marshal Antonescu arrived here and met with the imperial ruler Hess.
"Your Excellency, I implore your army to stop attacking immediately. The Romanian Kingdom is willing to negotiate with your country on joining the Iron Alliance."Marshal Antonescu's posture was very low, almost as if he was groveling.
Although he was definitely a high-ranking official in the Kingdom of Romania.
However, in front of Hess, he was Nothing.
The powerful army of the Third Reich can easily crush the entire Romania.
Even like now, the Third Reich only sent 200,000 people to invade Romania. The rest The troops were almost all servants. But the Romania Kingdom still couldn't resist.
Hess nodded:"Marshal, I remember that I gave you a chance. However, you failed to cherish it"
"Your Excellency, this is our fault, please give us another chance!"Marshal Antonescu lowered his head heavily.
"At the beginning, when the empire established the national oil reserve system, it purchased oil from your country. However, your country would rather sell that oil to the Gauls and the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets than sell it to the Empire."Hess is obviously a vengeful person.
Marshal Antonescu is a little embarrassed. Indeed, when the Gauls and the Sun Never Set Empire blocked the Third Reich from building an oil reserve system, Romania was on the side of Gaul. The people and the empire where the sun never sets
"Your Majesty, these are all your Majesty's requests. At that time, I did not have much power."Marshal Antonescu said
"Well, I can give you another chance. If you accept it, the war will stop." Hess said
"Your Excellency, thank you so much!"Marshal Antonescu was immediately overjoyed.
"Don’t be too busy thanking me. There are several conditions that your country must agree to!" Hess said
"Please speak, Your Excellency!"Marshal Antonescu nodded repeatedly.
"First, Romania joined the Iron Alliance and became an ally of the Empire. Second, the mobilization system of Ramania must be established. Once war breaks out, you must fully accept the empire's command and assist the empire in fighting. Of course, after the empire wins the war, the Romanian Kingdom can also share the fruits of victory. Third, the Ploiesti oil fields were to be under the control of the Third Reich. The Third Reich can invest in the oil field and further expand the production capacity of the oil field. Management of the oil fields was left to the Third Reich. The Romanian Kingdom still shares profits from the oil fields. Fourth, return the Transylvania region belonging to the Kingdom of Hungary and the Bukovina region of Slovakia! said.
At this moment, Marshal Antonescu was stunned.
He never expected that Hess would put forward such harsh conditions.
If anything, the first few items can still be discussed. So, this last condition is completely non-negotiable!
The Romanian Kingdom joined the Allied Powers in the last war. Therefore, the regions of Transylvania and Bukovina were obtained. This was the reward given by the Allied Powers to the Kingdom of Romania.
The combined area of these two regions even accounts for half of the total territory of Romania.
If these territories are lost, the Romania Kingdom will be greatly reduced!
Marshal Antonescu resisted such conditions from the bottom of his heart.
"Your Excellency, if this is the case, these conditions are difficult for us to accept."Marshal Antonescu's attitude gradually changed.
Hess smiled and seemed a little unconcerned.
"Marshal, I would like to advise you that this is the last chance for you and your country. Our troops are on the offensive and are overwhelming. As far as Romania's current army is concerned, we have no resistance at all. If this continues, we can capture the entire Romania within ten days or even a week at most. The Gaul Kingdom and the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, which your country relies on, are simply impossible to provide support to your country. In other words, even if they can travel all the way across the Mediterranean to send reinforcements to your country. But is there still enough time? Even if there is enough time. I firmly believe that they can never be the empire's opponents!"
Hess seems very confident on this issue.
In other words, he is very confident in the combat effectiveness of the Third Reich's army.
Romania is only a second-rate country in Europe. Even second-rate. It doesn’t even count as a country.
It is simply delusional for such a small country to resist the attack of the Third Reich.
"Your Excellency, Marshal, those territories did not belong to Romania in the first place. Even though you have ruled these areas for twenty years. However, the people here do not agree with you. Rather than doing this, it is better to return it to the Kingdom of Hungary. If Romania joins the Iron Alliance, we can support your country's eastward expansion after we defeat the Woolly Bear Alliance in the future."Hess once again threw out a chip.
Marshal Antonescu couldn't help but his eyes lit up. This was a good choice for the Kingdom of Romania.
Transvasinia and Bukovina regions , for the current Romania, it is just a newly controlled territory.
In the past twenty years, the people in these areas have been hostile to the Kingdom of Romania and resisted the oppression and rule of the Kingdom of Romania. As for the Kingdom of Romania, they did not gain much benefit from these two areas. In fact, they became a burden to them.
If these two areas could be returned to the Kingdom of Hungary and then gain the support of the Third Reich, Expanding eastward may be a good thing for the Kingdom of Romania.
In this case, it will not only prevent the country from being destroyed by the Third Reich. It may even continue to expand outwards. And the pressure of expansion , not that big
"Your Excellency, does the Third Reich really support our eastward expansion?"Marshal Antonescu asked
"certainly! The territory of the Woolly Bear Alliance is too large. If the empire defeats them in the future, it will naturally be dismembered. Any country that has made a contribution in this war will be able to gain a piece of territory in the Woolly Bear Alliance. The size of the territory will be determined by its performance in war."Hess said with a smile.
Anyway, this is the kindness of others, and Hess has no reluctance to part with it._
