Chapter 228
"Your Excellency, the Romanian Kingdom now only has a population of 20 million. If we returned the regions of Transvasinia and Bukovina to the Kingdom of Hungary, we would be left with only half the population. This will greatly reduce the strength of the Romanian Kingdom."Marshal Antonescu was a little uneasy.
After all, this would greatly reduce the status of the Kingdom of Romania.
"Marshal, this is not a problem. As long as the Romanian Kingdom does its best in the future war, the empire will not ignore the achievements of the Romanian Kingdom. What's more, the oil fields of the Romanian Kingdom are very important to the empire. Simply increasing the exploitation of oil fields and providing oil to the empire is already a great achievement. The next Kingdom of Romania needs to mobilize its army to 500,000 people. If necessary, mobilizing 800,000 people would be enough!"Hess said.
Marshal Antonescu nodded. If the population of the Romania Kingdom drops sharply to 10 million, and then mobilizes 800,000, it will be almost the limit. However, this is not Unacceptable.
After the war, once the Iron Alliance wins, the Romania Kingdom can take the opportunity to expand eastward and bite off a piece of fat from the Woolly Bear Alliance to make up for the loss of Tran. The losses of Vasinia and Bukovina.
More importantly, this will make Romania once again stand on the side of the winner in this war.
Of course, this is Antonescu It was just the Marshal's personal speculation.
The war had just begun, but the mighty strength shown by the Third Reich had already made him look at him. He believed that the possibility of the Third Reich winning this war was very high.
Therefore, if the Romanian Kingdom wants to ensure its own interests and even further improve its strength after the war, it will be very important to stand on the side of the winner.
"Your Excellency, I need to return home to discuss with His Majesty and others abroad. Such a big thing is obviously not something I can decide. Until then, I hope the Third Reich will stop attacking us."Marshal Antonescu said
"Your Excellency, Marshal, it is impossible to stop the attack. Our time is extremely tight. What's more, the neighbors to the east are also ready to take action. As far as I know, the Woolly Bear Alliance is also sharpening its skills and preparing to seize the Bessarabia region of your country."Hess said.
Marshal Antonescu couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Your Excellency, if the Woolly Bear Alliance seizes our territory, will the Third Reich help us resist them?"Marshal Antonescu asked
"certainly! If the Woolly Bear Alliance occupied the kingdom's territory, the Third Reich would naturally help the Romanian Kingdom regain its territory over the years. Maybe not now, the time is needed. However, I can swear in the name of God that no country can bully the allies of the Third Reich, even the allies!"Hess said.
Marshal Antonescu nodded, He Zheng made him very convinced.
"Okay, Your Excellency, I got it!"Marshal Antonescu said.
Afterwards, Marshal Antonescu said goodbye and returned to Rome without stopping, telling King Carol II and Prime Minister Cristia all the conditions proposed by the Third Reich.
In When Marshal Antonescu left, Hess openly attached himself to him and demanded to be stronger.
Most of the Romanian Kingdom's army was under his control.
Under such circumstances, he would not be able to take the initiative. If so, that would be too incompetent.
Naturally, Marshal Antonescu heard the dissatisfaction of the Third Reich from Hess’s words.
Marshal Antonescu immediately told Hess that Romania The Kingdom will definitely accept these conditions proposed by the Third Reich
"Your Excellency, Marshal, is this the condition you brought back? It is simply a loss of power and an insult to the country! Not only do you have to join the Iron Alliance and help them fight, but you also have to hand over precious oil fields to their control. Even, half of the territory and population must be ceded to the Kingdom of Hungary. This is simply an insult to the Kingdom of Romania and treats us as a defeated country. I absolutely cannot accept such conditions!"King Carol II was furious.
"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal, such conditions are too harsh. The Third Reich does not really regard us as allies at all."Prime Minister Christea also said on the side.
"Indeed, I admit that conditions in the Third Reich were harsh. But do we have any other options? The armies of the Third Reich are attacking, and our armies simply cannot resist them. It is simply impossible for the Gauls and the Empire to provide support to us at this time. If we do not accept the conditions of the Third Reich, our country will be destroyed step by step. By then, the Romanian Kingdom will cease to exist! What's more, although we lost the Transvasinia and Bukovina regions, the Third Reich has promised that after we win this war, we will be allowed to expand eastward and acquire large territories in the east.. This will be a good compensation for the Romanian Kingdom. More importantly, the Romanian Kingdom must stand with the winner of the war!"Marshal Antonescu said
"Do you dare to ensure that the Third Reich is the winner? If they lose, the Romania Kingdom will also be in doom!"King Carol II retorted
"Your Majesty, at least for now, the Third Reich is much more likely to win. I firmly believe that they will win the final victory!"Marshal Antonescu has great confidence in the Third Reich.
"snort! Until the last moment, no one can guarantee the final victory!"King Carol II snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty the King, Your Majesty the Marshal. In this case, why don't we adopt a compromise approach?"Prime Minister Christea said
"A compromise?"Marshal Antonescu and Carol II both looked at Cristeia
"Yes. No matter what the final result of this war is, Romaniya must be on the side of the winner. Only in this way can we ensure that our interests are not harmed. So, we can hedge our bets. In this case, no matter which side wins, we are also the winners!"Cristea is undoubtedly much more cunning._To read the ununderlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
