After the meeting chaired by Edel, Romania's war preparations began as quickly as possible. A large amount of military materials began to be transported to various military points for other purposes.
In Targuzyu, the first major station where the Romanian railway enters Romania, two staff members in the station dispatching room were chatting.
"Hi, Som. You said there are too many goods these days. Our station has been spinning for several days in a row."
"Yes, our station warehouse is almost full, but I heard that the goods transported this time are more valuable."
"I know you have a connection with Toros, so don't mess with these goods. Isn't it easy if you don't see the people guarding the goods? They are most likely retired soldiers."
A certain person was speechless after his mind was broken, but he listened to his colleague's words, which saved him from a disaster.
At the same time, in Paris, after three days of secret march, Foreign Minister Barnoske, who is the plenipotentiary, is about to arrive in Paris. This time he secretly went to Paris for negotiations. Barnoske did not bring any extra candidates, except for a few people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The capable personnel is the representative of the military, Major General Dotov. This major general's main task is also to coordinate the Allied forces in Greece and matters related to the joint attack on Bulgaria.
The tiring journey along the way did not make the foreign minister, who was already in his fifties, feel very tired. He was chatting with Major General Dotov about the customs and customs he saw along the way.
"I still remember my experience of studying in France. France was not so deserted at that time, and I didn't see many men along the way."
"Yes, France suffered too much in this war, and even to win, the price was too high."
Feeling that it was a bit inappropriate to talk about the losses on French soil, Major General Dotov decided to change the topic. "French men have gone to the battlefield, but the French women have suffered. According to the personal experience of our military observation group, in France several
Both a can and a bag of flour allow French women to express their passion, and if they are in a war zone, the bag of flour can be omitted."
Just then, a negotiator knocked on the door and said, "Your Excellencies, Paris has arrived."
So the two got off the train. As the capital of France, Paris is its largest railway transportation hub. Materials from all over the country can arrive here along the railway. This has also become the largest logistics base of the French army. A group of negotiators from Romania
They felt this in a short period of time. Within ten minutes from when they got off the bus to when they walked out of the station, three reinforcement troop trains singing Marseillaise passed through the platform and headed towards the front line, and there were also two more
Vehicles filled with blood and wailing injured people passed through here and drove toward the rear.
In just over ten minutes, the Romanian group, who were still at peace, immediately felt the cruelty of war. At the same time, they also noticed that the staff at the station turned a blind eye to this scene and did whatever they were supposed to do.
Nothing, no inner ups and downs at all. This made the negotiators and their team feel that the hearts of the French people are strong.
One more thing, the person who greeted the Romanian negotiators this time was French Foreign Minister Jean Pichon, which also represented the importance that the Allies attached to Romania's joining at this time. Through observation along the way, Barnosque, who is Romanian Foreign Minister
However, I have a deep understanding that both the reception level and the itinerary are arranged to allow the group of people to arrive in Paris faster and more comfortably. The train from Marseille stopped for two hours and even temporarily added a train to wait for them.
You can see it in the luxury carriages.
Although France has prepared so much for the Romanian negotiating delegation, Barnosque, as the plenipotentiary during the negotiations, will not be grateful and give up the interests. He is not polite at all when it comes to fighting for it.
"Gentlemen, the Kalash area has always been a gathering place for our Romanian people. There are not many Serbian people there, and no matter from which aspect, this is inconsistent with the previous negotiations. I hope you can understand
We will raise questions based on the local situation.”
As the plenipotentiary, Barnosque made boastful remarks when facing French Prime Minister Clemenceau, Foreign Minister Jean Pichon, Minister of War Paul Panleve, and British Foreign Secretary Balfour, because something went wrong at the beginning of the negotiations.
Damn it. I don’t know why, but British Foreign Secretary Balfour reneged on the conditions he had agreed to as soon as he came up.
He raised questions about the Austro-Hungarian Kalash region, which is adjacent to Serbia and should belong to Romania. He proposed that the region should undergo national autonomy after the war on the grounds that the local Serbs accounted for the majority. This was immediately criticized by Barnos, who was regarded as the plenipotentiary representative.
Ke vetoed it. He did not care at all whether the Serbs constituted a majority in the area. Barnosk insisted that the local Serbs were a minority. This was a misremembering by the British Foreign Secretary, which completely demonstrated an unreasonable attitude.
Seeing this situation, France on the other side of the negotiations is a little bit uneasy. France is not at all prepared for the issue of the Kalash area suddenly raised by the British. But now they can only smooth things over first. And this task can only fall on diplomacy.
Minister Jean Pichon, who coughed slightly and said, "I think we should put aside the issue of the Kalash region for now. Let me make a suggestion here."
"Speaking."
"Speaking."
Seeing that both parties wanted to hear their opinions, Minister Jean Pichon said. "Why don't we set a deadline of one year after the end of the war. If the Romanians have a majority by then, then we will do what Lord Barnosc said."
, if the Serbs hold the majority, then just follow what Mr. Balfour said, okay?"
Of course, as Romania's Foreign Minister, Barnosque heard the implication of Jean Pichon clearly. This was to listen to whoever would control the Kalash region. After thinking about the current situation of the two countries, he immediately
He said, "I agree with what Minister Jean Pichon said."
"I agree."
Faced with Minister Jean Pichon's words of favoring Romania, Balfour actually agreed.
Seeing that the British were not making trouble, the French representatives in the negotiations also breathed a sigh of relief. Now France has suffered too much and is in urgent need of new troops. Who allowed the German army to focus exclusively on the French army in several consecutive battles on the Western Front? The original population was only
Of course France, two-thirds of Germany, can't bear it. You must know that there have been many cases of soldiers refusing to go to the front line within the French army, but they have been suppressed by the French government, but this can also show the state of the French army.
