The moment when Carol II met with the Soviet ambassador was hilarious.
This interview with the Soviet ambassador was not only attended by Carol II himself, but also Romanian Minister Antonescu, who actually made the decision, and the German Ambassador Leon, who had nothing to do with the matter.
In fact, when the Soviet ambassador and the German ambassador met, he was really surprised for a while. After all, he had no idea why the German ambassador was here, let alone whether something would happen as a result.
The German Ambassador Leon felt nothing when he met the Soviet Ambassador. He even knew what the Soviet Ambassador was going to do next from the head of state in advance. He just wanted to
Is there anything surprising about occupying Romanian territory? It is not about occupying German territory.
Speaking of which, the Soviets' current actions were actually discussed with the German government in advance. As early as before the Battle of Poland, the two countries had already communicated and said hello to each other about their respective future development plans. As for Romania,
The Soviet Union had long coveted those two provinces.
Thinking of this, Leon felt a little lucky. Fortunately, Germany is not a small country like Romania. Fortunately, Germany is strong enough. Even if it is as arrogant as the Soviet Union, it does not dare to point fingers at German land like they did with Romania. Even
, they also have to seek Germany's opinion and discuss everything with Germany.
"Dear Mr. Leon, why are you here?" After all, he is a foreign ambassador working in Romania, and the Soviet ambassador has heard of Leon, the German ambassador. When he saw Leon at this time, the first thing he wanted to do was
What I understand is why the Germans showed up at this meeting.
Regarding the secret deal between the Soviet Union and Germany, Reinhard revealed it to Leon, the German ambassador to Romania, but Stalin did not disclose it to the Soviet ambassador to Romania. This caused the Soviet ambassador to have unnecessary worries, worrying about the German ambassador.
Something that will harm him.
Because we are in Romania, the common language that both parties can communicate with is Romanian.
"I am here for some cooperation projects between Germany and Romania, which you should know." Leon also replied in Romanian.
However, when Leon said this, Antonescu, who was standing on the other side, raised his eyebrows slightly. Obviously, he understood the real reason why Leon appeared here.
"That's good." Upon hearing that Leon seemed not to know about the Soviet Union's occupation of Romanian territory during this trip, the Soviet ambassador breathed a sigh of relief and even smiled at Leon and said: "I have something to deal with here, wait for me
After this is done, Mr. Leon and I might have time to have a meal together."
After all, the relationship between the Soviet Union and Germany is pretty good at the moment, especially since the "Peter the Great Incident". Almost all Soviet people know that the battleships jointly developed by Germany and the Soviet Union have allowed the Soviet Navy to steal the show in front of great powers such as the United Kingdom. At the same time,
He also had a good impression of Germany. He smiled and invited us to have a meal together. It was because the Soviet ambassador was too fond of such a friendly country.
However, when he turned around, the Soviet ambassador was not so polite to the Romanian leaders.
"Mr. Leon happens to be here, and I am here today to announce something in advance to you and the whole world." The Soviet ambassador said to Carol II and Antonescu with a sinister look on his face: "The Soviet government has plans for Romania.
The government is very dissatisfied with the ambiguous attitude and has now officially issued an ultimatum to the Romanian government, limiting your country to withdraw all Romanian troops from Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina within four days starting from June 1.
These two provinces will be handed over to the Soviet occupation. At the same time, the Romanian government must also protect the railways, factories and other facilities in the evacuated areas, and there must be no shortage or damage..."
No one said anything, but the result was already obvious from the Soviet ambassador's sneer.
Yes, the Soviet ambassador's request was very excessive. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he would not even spit out his bones after eating. However, behind him was the huge Soviet Union, and Romania could not afford to offend the Soviet Union!
"What?" In the silence, the Soviet ambassador smiled contemptuously: "If there are no objections, I think King Carol can prepare relevant matters. After all, your withdrawal time is only four days, which is not too ample."
"The Soviet ambassador is a little too arrogant? Such a big thing has to be done immediately, and he even ordered the king of Romania to come." Antonescu, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't bear it.
Zhu said coldly: "You know, you are on Romanian soil now. You'd better show more respect for our king."
Although Antonescu doesn't like His Majesty King Carol II very much, he is the King of Romania after all. He personally hates it, but in front of outsiders, it is absolutely impossible to get used to his own country.
The nominal supreme leader was insulted!
As he spoke, Antonescu's hand had already been placed on the gun bag at his waist, and he looked coldly at the Soviet ambassador.
The meeting venue was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Antonescu, the dignified military minister of the Kingdom of Romania, in terms of status, is much higher than the little diplomatic ambassador in front of him. To teach a foreign ambassador a lesson is simply to kill a chicken with a knife.
In normal times, if anyone dared to make Antonescu angry, in Romania, it is estimated that this person would have as many as a hundred ways to die. However, now such a little ambassador from the Soviet Union actually dares to be arrogant.
To such an extent!
A Soviet ambassador to Romania is, in layman's terms, similar to an envoy in ancient China. An envoy who is so awesome can easily be killed.
Unfortunately, the person standing in front of Antonescu now is an envoy from the Soviet Union.
"Oh?" the Soviet ambassador sneered and asked disdainfully: "Your king didn't even say he had any objections. How can a minister like you get so much trouble?"
The Soviet ambassador squinted his eyes slightly and walked slowly towards Antonescu: "I don't know where you got such courage to go against me and the Soviet Union. However, I think in your country, no one has
I can bear the consequences!"
Walking in front of Antonescu, the Soviet ambassador stopped leisurely: "Minister Antonescu, please don't forget that behind me is the Soviet Union, which is the country with the most vast territory and the largest population in the world.
Superpower! Any country that wants to go against the Soviet Union must first consider whether it is worthy or not?!"
