Chapter 371 Odessa Treaty (2)

Faced with the list of expenses given by Barnosk, Morakov motioned to Lieutenant General Nomitov to check them first. The Chief of General Staff would first look at the expenses for sending troops, which was also his specialty. The so-called expenses for sending troops were actually

It’s about compensation, everyone knows this, but it’s better to let professionals squeeze out the water first.

However, Morakov would certainly not accept the Romanian Lion’s conditions. Therefore, according to international practice, Romania must also be informed of Ukraine’s conditions, so he spoke first: “I have listened to the conditions given by your country.

, now let’s talk about ours.”

As the head of the Romanian delegation, Prime Minister Bretianu signaled: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, please speak."

After seeing that the Romanian representatives were waiting for him to speak out the Ukrainian proposal, Prime Minister Morakov took out a copy of the terms proposed by Ukraine and began to say: "According to our investigation, we cannot be completely sure that this conflict was caused by us.

It is the responsibility of all parties, so we make some suggestions.”

"First; re-investigate the cause of this conflict. If it is our responsibility, then we will compensate the murdered Dork, and the amount can be negotiated by both of us. Second; regarding the Eastern Moldavia region

We can hold a referendum based on the people's wishes, but it requires third-party supervision. The two of us are not allowed to induce or threaten them. Thirdly, it is impossible for us to recognize the military expenses required by your country. This dispute is not limited to us.

Each party has responsibilities, and so does your country, so we each bear our own military expenses. Fourth: After the peace talks are concluded and the treaty is signed, your country must withdraw from the territory of Ukraine. Moreover, our country's public security is good, and we do not need your country to help us maintain public security."

After listening to some of Morakov's Ukrainian conditions, Barnosk, the Foreign Minister, couldn't help laughing, and then he said with a smile: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I feel like you have won this war.

.”

Then he said unceremoniously: "This time the responsibility lies entirely with you."

After speaking, he took out one of the documents he carried and placed it in front of Morakov. "This is the testimony of the Ukrainian soldiers from your country who harmed our Dork. This is enough to convince you."

It is not too simple to get a confession from a Ukrainian soldier who was controlled by Romania and deliberately framed the blame. Morakov glanced at the slanted confession, shook his head and said: "This

It doesn’t count, I think we can only confirm it after an unrelated third-party investigation.”

Seeing the stubborn Ukrainian Prime Minister, Prime Minister Bretianu stopped Barnosk who still wanted to speak. He directly said to him: "Your Excellency Morakov, there will be no third party in this peace negotiation. Moreover,

I am angry and can say bluntly that your current attitude makes me feel that you are not sincere in peace talks. In view of your unclear understanding of the situation, I suggest that we take a day off and talk again. In addition, I would like to say one more thing about whether we have peace talks.

The Ukrainian government has reached an agreement and is not in a hurry. Maybe someone is willing to accept our terms. Whether this person is Denikin or the Soviet government has little impact on us. I hope you will think about it carefully."

Faced with Prime Minister Bretianu's naked threat, Morakov couldn't help but said angrily: "You are planning to threaten us."

Bretianu, who stood up and was about to leave, shook his head and replied: "This is not a threat, just advice. In addition, the army is not satisfied with the terms we have drafted so far. They have been clamoring to drink the Dnieper River, but they were

We suppressed it. But now it seems that some of their words are still very reasonable."

After speaking, Prime Minister Bretianu left with the Romanian negotiators, leaving only Morakov and his party looking at each other. They did not expect that the Romanian negotiators were so tough. Shouldn't they negotiate slowly? These Romanians

How can a person have such a bad temper, as if he had taken gunpowder?

Foreign Minister Tolskov, who had been transparent from the beginning of the negotiations, said angrily: "These Romanians are too barbaric. Do they understand peace talks?"

Morakov ignored Tolskov's words. For someone who doesn't even know basic diplomatic skills, he doesn't know why President Korbachev would value him. If he still treats him as a confidant, he is simply useless.

At this time, Finance Minister Jiko Le said worriedly: "What should we do now? If these Romanians really stop talking, it will be a disaster for us."

Faced with his confidant's words, Morakov couldn't answer in front of everyone. However, he was also a little surprised by the Romanian's behavior, but the current top priority for the party was to find a feasible solution. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

Lieutenant General Nomitov, who was still looking at the expense list, asked: "Are these lists a big problem?"

Lieutenant General Nomitov, who looked a little headache, replied: "It's not a big problem, but these Romanians definitely don't spend that much."

While Morakov was discussing with his delegation, Prime Minister Bretianu, who was walking out of the municipal building, was also communicating with Barnosk.

"These Ukrainians are quite unfamiliar with diplomatic rules. You also saw that during the negotiations, one prime minister kept talking to us, and the others did not react much at all. So for these Ukrainians who don't know much about diplomatic rules, there is no need to act like

Talk like other countries. Put pressure on them directly and let them know we are very dissatisfied."

"Is this really okay?"

Facing Prime Minister Bretianu, Barnosk was still unable to turn around.

"If you don't believe it, wait until the next negotiation."

Facing Prime Minister Bretianu, who was smiling a little inscrutably, Barnoske asked a question he had always wanted to ask: "Prime Minister, why do we demand such a high amount of compensation, and why do we demand that it be completed without compensation?

We will not withdraw our troops. Such demands will not help us improve our relations with Ukraine in the future."

In his opinion, this condition is exactly what Prussia did to France after the Franco-Prussian War. The only difference is that it is completely impossible for Ukraine to spend such a large amount of money in a short time like France. But the effect is the same. This is completely

It has the effect of rapidly deteriorating the relationship between the two countries. It is really not worth it for this small amount of compensation.

Faced with Barnosk's question, Prime Minister Bretianu didn't know how to answer. In fact, he also wanted to ask Edel. Yes, this request was forced by Edel. But he couldn't tell the Prime Minister,

It won't be long before Soviet Russia denies the Brest-Litovsk Treaty signed with Germany. Then the country of Ukraine will immediately be like an isolated and helpless little girl, being humiliated by the two big men of the Red Army and the White Army, and finally forced to

Joined the Soviet Union and became an important member of the Soviet Union. It was not until decades later that the Soviet Union regained its independence.

At present, Romania does not have enough strength to capture and hold the entire Ukraine. It is true that the coal resources in Eastern Ukraine are a natural base for heavy industry, but it is too far away from Romania, and Romania does not have enough population to assimilate the region. So he can only

Make plans to go to Western Ukraine.

However, it is completely impossible for the Ukrainian government to agree to divide nearly one-third of its territory to Romania. Therefore, he offered a compensation amount that Ukraine could not afford in a short time for it to accept. And it also stipulated that no

After compensation is completed, Romania will not make unreasonable demands to withdraw its troops.

In order to set this amount, Eder also asked the intelligence department to review the financial situation and economic status of Ukraine over the years.

Therefore, in the face of Barnosk's inquiry, Prime Minister Bretianu could only fool him by saying: "This is a secret, you will know it later."

Faced with the meaning of Prime Minister Bretianu's words, Barnosk knew that he should not inquire. Then the group of them returned to their residence to recharge their batteries and prepare for the peace talks the next day.

The next day, when they discussed with the Ukrainian delegation again, they clearly felt that their attitude had softened a lot. It seemed that Prime Minister Bretianu's method worked yesterday, which gave them full confidence in the negotiations. The original negotiation was

You and I compromise and negotiate to reach a consensus. But facing the Ukrainians who can't stand upright, everyone knows that now is the time to make the opponent surrender.

So next, they took advantage of the lack of confidence of the Ukrainians and pursued them fiercely. After nearly a month of negotiations, they finally got the Ukrainian government to sign the peace treaty. However, in order to get Ukraine to sign, Romania still made a lot of efforts.

Concession is just a matter of not retreating at all on a few key points.

The final terms signed are as follows. First, this conflict was caused by a misunderstanding between the two countries, and for Dork who was killed in the conflict, the Ukrainian government would compensate him out of humanitarianism.

Second: Regarding the Eastern Moldavia region, both parties respect the wishes of the people in the region and will allow local residents to vote on the ownership of the region after 15 days.

Third; as the initiator of the armistice, the Ukrainian government will pay Romania 2 billion lei in compensation. The compensation will be paid in foreign exchange, precious metals, minerals, grain, etc., of which grain and minerals will be paid at 92% of the international market price.

allow.

Fourth: The Romanian troops currently in Western Ukraine can be stationed there temporarily. However, they must leave immediately after Ukraine pays Romania compensation, and the time shall not be later than 7 days after the payment is completed.

fifth;…………

…………

On the final terms, the two countries made concessions to each other. However, judging from the content of the terms, Ukraine suffered a big loss. However, their performance on the battlefield was too poor, and there was no one in the world to help them, so they could only grit their teeth and endure it.

With.

Now the two documents signed by the names of the heads of their respective delegations will be taken back by each of them. When the political leaders of the two countries sign, this will mean that the dispute between the two countries has been resolved.

Is this the case? Who knows?
