Eder has temporarily solved the problem of the Youth Association. But now he needs to solve the problem. The two camps are doing everything possible to force Romania to join the war. This is his most urgent matter at the moment.
Edel is a little confused, why are the two camps so persecuting Romania? In the past history, Edel seems to remember that apart from Belgium and Greece, there was no country that was persecuted by both sides at the same time during World War I. So why is Romania like this? Yes
The location was too critical, or for some other reason, both parties targeted Romania.
Edel didn't know the reason. In fact, London, Paris and Berlin all had a deep understanding of Romania, that is, Romania wanted to speculate in this war. In fact, there were many countries that wanted to speculate, but Romania relied on its own
Location and export advantages capture massive profits.
This makes the big countries who are still fighting life and death very unhappy. We are fighting life and death for our own interests, so you can just watch the fun and sneak some while we are not paying attention. The most important thing is
Romania's size is completely inferior to that of the great powers. Even Italy, the weakest of the great powers, has an economic aggregate that is twice that of Romania, not to mention Romania's population.
Which of the European powers has a population of less than 25 million, so Romania’s population of 10 million, which seems to be quite large in other countries, is actually far from reaching the standard. Therefore, in Edel’s mind, the regions of Lansylvania and Bessarabia
These are the cornerstones for Romania to become a great power. In addition, Romania can seize territory from Austria-Hungary and Russia, which have been in chaos in recent years. Therefore, in Eder's view, it is completely impossible to become a great power with a population of less than 25 million, and Egypt
Del also prepared in this way.
Therefore, Romania's behavior is very outstanding among several small neutral countries. It only takes a discerning person to see that Romania's military preparations are different from other countries. Other countries do not attach as much importance to the military as Romania, and even if they join the war, they have a standing army to supplement the militia.
mode. In fact, the main increase is the number of gun-wielding infantry, while the expansion of artillery, machine guns and other equipment is not that much.
Romania is completely different. It is completely an expansion of its military establishment, and its technical arms and equipment have been upgraded at the same time. Moreover, the news of Romania's military expansion cannot be concealed. Other countries are uneasy about the expansion of Romania's standing army to more than 400,000. Many related
The country has secretly calculated that Romania invested one-third of its profits from the war into the army. This is not the performance of a neutral country, but more like preparation before speculation.
Edel didn't think it through at first, and he didn't figure it out until he was in the office.
Edel, who fully understood, had no choice but to laugh at himself, "I didn't expect my thoughts to be exposed like this."
This is a lesson for Edel, telling him not to think that he can make the most advantageous choice by understanding the general trend of the world. Other countries are not fools and will naturally respond based on Romania's reaction.
But now he needs to get the two parties to stop paying attention to Romania, so it is best to have other things to divert attention from Romania, but this can only temporarily alleviate the situation. Now he needs to get the two sides to drop the idea of Romania. This is not
An easy thing.
Now Edel can only think of ways to solve this problem, and if it doesn't work, delay it. However, Edel's own plan to participate in the war in 1918, it seems that Romania may not be able to wait until that time.
But now Edel can only calm down the domestic atmosphere first. To deal with the pressure from the two camps, he first needs to stay calm himself.
So the day after Eder met with the senior leaders of the Youth Association, the Romanian media no longer focused on promoting nationalism, and there were much less news about the oppression of Romanians in Transylvania and Bessarabia. Instead,
, a comparison of Romania’s economic and national strength and other powerful countries, the media now want to tell the people that Romania is still very weak and needs to continue to develop.
The Youth Association, which mainly promotes fanatical nationalism, has also recently changed its style. In its propaganda slogan, it no longer preaches to the people that Romania must own Transylvania and Bessarabia. Instead, it changed the slogan to
Help the government alleviate the people's excessive expectations.
Stimulated by the news brought back by Chairman Jan Uskov, the senior leaders of the Youth Association have adopted measures to stop radical actions at this stage. Of course, there are people who do not intend to give up, and that is Propaganda Minister Karl Morley. He has been until now
He has no idea of changing his name yet. Even after a night of persuasion by the senior officials of the Youth Association, it has no effect on making him give up.
Karl Morley has always stubbornly believed that the love of Romania among the top brass of the YMCA is not pure, but has degenerated into being like other bureaucrats who only care about themselves. The leadership of the YMCA has completely given up on letting this fanatical nationalist
, but they were reluctant to part with his excellent propaganda methods, so they could only continue to keep him in the Youth Association. However, it was very inappropriate for him to be the propaganda minister, so they had another candidate, the former propaganda minister Bode Biba.
.And Karl Morley still serves in the Propaganda Department, but he can only be an indifferent deputy minister.
It’s just that they didn’t know that Carl Morley hadn’t slept all night. With thick dark circles under his eyes and a haggard face, he was sitting on the bed in his apartment, drinking wine. There were several empty wine bottles on the ground, and his whole body was exposed.
There is an obvious feeling of baldness.
In Karl Morley's mind, the top brass of the YMCA have become corrupt. They have become no different from other politicians. They have all become political creatures striving for power. He, Morley, is the one who wholeheartedly serves the ideals of the Romanians, but he is not a fool either.
, knowing that his own opposition has no effect. Even if he continued to oppose yesterday, the senior leaders of the Youth Association who were fascinated by the parliamentary seats quickly reached an agreement. They will stop promoting nationalism and will also help the government suppress it.
The people's desire for unity.
Now Karl Morley is very confused. He doesn't know why, His Majesty Edel, who he thinks will save Romania, will reject his proposal. This makes him feel very bad. He needs to think hard about his previous situation.
Whether the decision was correct. Of course, the scope of his thinking was only whether it was appropriate to put his hope in others. Carl Morley did not think that his own goal was also a problem.
There is no problem with the purpose, but the means seem to need to be adjusted. However, Karl Morley does not intend to leave here until he has thought about a new way out. Now he still needs the power of the Youth Association.
