No matter how long the conversation is, it will come to an end.
What's more, the Soviet ambassador did not really want to negotiate with the Romanians. He only came to announce the Soviet Union's requirements and was not prepared to bargain with the Romanians.
No matter how reluctant Antonescu was, even before Carol II could speak, the Soviet ambassador said: "Please seize the time to withdraw the troops from Romania." Then he walked away.
"The Soviets really went too far this time." Seeing the Soviet ambassador leave, Leon walked to Antonescu with a smile and whispered: "How about it? Mr. Military Minister, do you want to consider our suggestions?"
Antonescu was stunned for a moment, glanced back at Carol II, and then slowly spoke in a low voice: "Let's talk later."
After all, his immediate boss, Carol II, is still here, and it is somewhat inappropriate for him to discuss the alliance with Germany on his behalf. In name, this kind of matter should still be decided by Carol II, the king of Romania, and
Not Antonescu.
However, the attitude of the Soviets was too arrogant, which made Antonescu unbearable.
As a general who loves Romania deeply, Antonescu has always valued Romania's national honor more than his life!
He has never been a moderate. Otherwise, he would not have committed the entire Romanian main force to the Soviet battlefield, avenging his previous humiliation and regaining lost ground, as happened in history.
Unlike Quisling, a traitor who aims at glory and wealth and ties the interests of the motherland to the Third Reich, Antonescu is a true nationalist! (Note: Historically, Antonescu
Ku was personally rehabilitated by the Bucharest District Court in Romania in 2006, clearing his reputation as a traitor to Romania since World War II)
After bidding farewell to Carol II, Antonescu politely gestured to Leon and said: "Please come to my office."
Leon could see that Antonescu had already made his choice. The arrival of the Soviet ambassador became the last necessary condition for the Romanian military minister to switch to Germany.
Leon smiled slightly, nodded towards Antonescu and said: "Very happy."
Next to them, Carol II, who was sitting in his seat, didn't know anything about it at the moment, and he politely said goodbye to the two of them: "Goodbye, you two. It's time for me to go back to accompany my lover."
Still thinking about your lover?
Antonescu suddenly felt that Carol II was a little pitiful. With his character of loving beauty but not country, he was suitable to be an ordinary member of the royal family, but not suitable to be a king. At this moment, in Germany
When someone contacted him and plotted to overthrow Carol II, he himself was still unaware of it and was only thinking about spending quality time with his lover.
However, if Romania is still in the mood to find a woman when it is about to face national humiliation, it is right for such a person to be removed from the throne of the king!
Antonescu and Leon accelerated their pace in unison and left the palace of Carol II.
When leaving, Leon turned back lightly and took a closer look at Carol II, the romantic king.
"Idiot!" Leon sneered silently in his heart, and then followed Antonescu without looking back and left, getting into a private car dedicated to Antonescu.
In the eyes of Leon, an outsider, he really couldn't figure out why the Romanians would support such an idiot with no leadership awareness as the leader of the country.
Just now, when the Soviet Ambassador kept making unreasonable demands, Antonescu was so angry that he almost turned green, but His Majesty the King of Romania actually looked content and leisurely, as if he was being bullied by the Soviet Ambassador.
A country is not the same as your own country.
Although he kept silent, he only reminded Antonescu a few meaningful words at the end. However, in his heart, Leon sympathized with Romania and hated the Soviet ambassador.
Leon did not speak because he could not speak based on his personal likes and dislikes and let the Soviet ambassador make corresponding judgments, thereby affecting the relationship between the Soviet Union and Germany.
Indeed, the relationship between the Soviet Union and Germany is more appropriately described as mutual utilization than cooperation. The Soviet Union has the materials and raw materials that Germany needs, and Germany has the technology and machine tools that the Soviet Union lacks.
Although there are ideological differences between the two countries, and they even vaguely opposed each other during the Spanish Civil War. However, the mutual use of the two countries has not ended.
Both parties still need the benefits provided by the other party, so both parties are still cautious and cautious while vigorously advocating cooperation.
However, not offending the Soviet ambassador does not mean that Leon does not have his own judgment and emotional tendencies. In his eyes, the most essential difference between Germany and the Soviet Union is that Germany fights for revenge, fights for glory, and competes with powerful enemies.
.The Soviet Union fought for ambition and despicability, and only bullied the weak.
Leon hates the Soviets, not just the Soviet ambassador, but also all other Soviets. These people are too ambitious. They already own the vastest land, the largest population, and the richest resources in the world, but they
Still not satisfied, they are always greedy and use the big to bully the small and seize the land of the weak countries to slightly expand their already endless territory.
The most intolerable thing is that they have extended their hands to Germany's allies!
The oil trade cooperation between Germany and Romania is no secret throughout Europe. Everyone knows that Romania’s oil fields are Germany’s largest stable import supply and are forbidden by the Third Reich and cannot be touched by anyone.
But now, the Soviet Union has reached out to Bukovina North in Bessarabia, directly threatening Romania's oil fields. It can be said that once the Soviet Union makes some changes, they will immediately use the army to occupy or use the air force to blow up all Romania's oil fields.
Then, as soon as they stopped trading oil supplies to Germany, Germany's oil imports had to gradually be cleared.
Although Germany has also developed the oil fields on the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein, the scale there is not so large that the Third Reich can only get oil here. In this life, German transport vehicles
, tank battlefields, maritime battleships, and even aircraft carriers have all increased significantly compared to the same period in history. As military strength has expanded, fuel consumption has also expanded too much.
If there is a stable supply from Romania and the stable exploitation of the Schleswig-Holstein oil fields, the oil consumption rate of the Third Reich can be completely filled. The oil imported by countries such as the Soviet Union is only increasing.
Just the oil reserves of the Third Reich.
However, Britain was not conquered and the oil fields in Schleswig-Holstein were threatened at any time. Now, the Soviet Union came to threaten Germany's oil fields in Romania, which imported oil. This decided that it could not be tolerated!
