Chapter 369 Whale swallowing (8)

When both the northern and southern armies were defeated by Romania and allowed them to occupy Lviv and Odessa, there was a panic within Ukraine. More than 300,000 troops were defeated by Romania, and only more than 100,000 people fled back. This result made

The government gentlemen are panicking.

"Would this guy Ryumidko know how to fight? He fought so miserably even though he had a numerical advantage and lost Woliv. Such a general should be sent to a military court."

In the parliament, a member of Parliament expressed his opinions loudly.

"I think the current government needs to recruit another half a million troops to let Romania know that we in Ukraine are not so easy to mess with."

This is another member of Congress expressing his opinion.

"That's nice to say. Will you pay for the recruitment of another 500,000 troops?"

A congressman voiced his opposition. After seeing everyone's attention focused on him, he expressed his opinion. "In my opinion, this is because the army has not been trained, and we do not have enough weapons and equipment to recruit.

Half a million people."

It seemed that this was an understanding person, and his words also aroused the interest of others.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

The congressman spoke confidently: "I would say that we need to find a well-trained army and combine it with the soldiers we recruited to resist the attack of these Romanians. At present, General Denikin in Tsaritsyn is the best.

A good choice, his South Russian volunteer army has 200,000 people, which is enough for us."

The congressman's suggestion immediately aroused a violent response. A young congressman next to him immediately pointed at his nose and cursed: "Okay, you are a national thief, and you are helping Denikin to plan for Ukraine. In the end, what will he do?"

How much benefit has it brought to you."

The congressman who was pointed at the nose and reviled immediately retorted: "Don't talk nonsense, I am doing this for the interests of Ukraine."

"Today I will kill you, a traitor, just for Ukraine."

After saying this, the young congressman rushed forward. Others nearby saw the physical conflict between the two and immediately stepped forward to pull them away.

President Korbachev, Prime Minister Morakov, and Parliament Speaker Mikral, who have witnessed all this with their own eyes, have become accustomed to this. Fighting in the parliament is not news now, but it will be news if there is no fighting. These sudden

The parliamentarians who have obtained high positions to represent the interests of various localities have not yet learned that politics is the art of compromise. However, facing the forced Romanian army, the three of them cannot wait for the parliament to continue to quarrel to come up with an outcome.

Prime Minister Morakov, who suffered the most losses in the war with Romania, was the first to speak: "Now that the Romanian army is approaching us after occupying Western Ukraine, do you two have any good solutions?"

Facing Prime Minister Morakov's inquiry, Speaker Mikral saw that President Korbachev next to him did not speak, so he had to speak. "Can you tell us how much money and supplies the government currently has?"

Parliament Speaker Miklal did not give suggestions first, but instead became concerned about the government's financial fortune.

Faced with the inquiry from Speaker Miklar, Prime Minister Morakov, who is in charge of government work, replied with a wry smile: "Now the government's material warehouse can already run away with rats. The 230,000 soldiers recruited for the war have already exhausted our few supplies.

and funds have been spent. And I also asked the Chief of General Staff, Lieutenant General Nomitov, and he said that the most effective way at present is to invite Marshal Mackensen, who has retreated to Poland, back. Of course, such a major matter requires

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will do it.”

After Prime Minister Morakov finished speaking, he and the Speaker of the Parliament looked at the pot-bellied President Korbachev. Facing the interrogating gazes of the two men, President Korbachev shook his huge head. It was bright.

Smooth, meticulously styled hair that even flies can't stand on.

I saw him smile bitterly and said: "I have tried Lieutenant General Nomitov's suggestion a long time ago. It would be easier if he was so easy to ask for. Marshal Mackensen said that the German army is currently in short supply of supplies. As long as we can come up with these

, he led the army to help us resist the Romanian offensive."

After finishing speaking, President Korbachev took out a piece of paper from his pocket. It seemed that this was Marshal Mackensen's request. Neither of them needed to comment too much on Marshal Mackensen's performance. So after seeing

After this small note, the two of them put their heads together, intending to see what conditions would make President Korbachev smile bitterly.

There were not many words written on this small note, and there were only a few items of supplies on it. However, when the two of them saw it clearly, they both took a breath. What was written on it was: 850,000 tons of wheat, 1.1 million

tons of corn, 450,000 tons of oats, and 300,000 tons of potatoes.

This is all necessary grain, but 2.7 million tons of grain is also an incredible number for Ukraine, which is itself a grain-producing area. You must know that Russia’s highest export year, 1909, only exported 12 million tons of grain, of which

Corn exports account for the bulk.

After years of war, Russia currently does not have enough food to eat. Although Ukraine is a grain-producing area with fertile black soil, they have only been independent for nearly a year. Moreover, they have already been raided by Germany once for food.

If it hadn't been for the good harvest this year, Ukraine might have suffered a famine. Where would it have been able to come up with so much food, and it was just the cost of inviting the German army to send troops. If they really invited these people in, they would definitely have to have material support.

, even if you don’t need ammunition, you still need a lot of food to eat horse chews.

In the eyes of the three of them, this list was no different from a rejection. In fact, Marshal Mackensen did intend to refuse. However, considering the current famine in the country and Ukraine being a grain-producing area, such a list of troops was temporarily concocted. Of course.

If the Ukrainian government has really managed to get the supplies on this list by selling iron and steel, then what's the harm in taking a trip? Maybe it can be searched again from Ukraine, but now even mice are being caught and eaten in Germany.

At present, it seems that the road to Germany for help is cut off. As for the only reinforcement they can find, Denikin is in Tsaritsyn. However, the three of them fully understand Denikin's thoughts. And they all know it.

Never let a wolf enter the house until it is a life-or-death situation.

Finally, President Korbachev tried to say: "Otherwise, we propose peace talks to Romania?"

"I think you can try it."

President Korbachev's words immediately attracted a response from Speaker Mikral. And after finishing speaking, Speaker Mikral and President Korbachev looked at Prime Minister Morakov together, and their intentions were unclear.

It couldn't be more obvious.

Prime Minister Morakov, who was stared at by the two men, knew that they were expressing their opinions more than him, but the current bad war situation made him completely lose his temper, so he had no choice but to say: "I agree, but you have to think carefully. Eastern Molda

The Via region will definitely not be saved."

"No matter how bad the situation on the battlefield is, there is nothing we can do about it."

"I agree."

As the three came to an agreement, they then attracted other parties and finally got the parliament to agree to the peace talks. In fact, these MPs all knew that Ukraine would definitely pay a price for this conflict to end miserably. So they basically pushed the boat forward.

The vote was in favor. Except for a few foolish young men who clamored for a decisive war with Romania and the opposition of some congressmen with ulterior motives, the voting rate of this motion was considered to be very high.

When the request for peace talks in Ukraine was placed on Edel's desk, in front of him were important ministers with happy faces. Isn't this what every country likes to do in order to collect benefits from other countries?

Edel glanced at the jubilant ministers in front of him, and said to Prime Minister Bretianu in front of him: "Delay these Ukrainians for three days and let them taste the taste of waiting."

"Okay, Your Majesty."

After receiving the Prime Minister's reply, Edel said to General Pleisan beside him: "Immediately send a message to Courtois and Freit, asking them to complete the occupation of all key points in the plan within three days."

"Understood, I'll send the report right away."

After General Pu Lie finished speaking, he immediately strode out of the conference room.

After seeing Preshan leave, Edel asked the remaining ministers: "Let us discuss what conditions are suitable to offer to the Ukrainian government."

When the Romanian government delayed its request for peace talks in Ukraine for three days, the Romanian army in Ukraine launched a final frenzied offensive. Cities such as Nikolaev, Vinnitsa, Uman, and Khmelnytsky fell into its hands.

, this once made the Ukrainian government think that Romania had no sincerity in peace talks. However, three days later, a message from Romania agreeing to peace talks was sent to Kiev.

After Ukraine saw that Romania agreed to the peace talks, there was another wave of fierce quarrels about the candidates for the peace talks. When will these Ukrainians mature?
