Edel took the telegram and immediately read it quickly. After reading it, he put the telegram away and ordered: "I won't go to the government anymore. Call Carlust here."
It didn't take long before Kallust rushed over.
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
Looking at Calust in front of him, Edel looked a little uncertain. This made the captain of the guard think that he suspected that he had not done any work well, which made His Majesty angry.
Fortunately, Edel didn't let the troubled Kalust wait long. He finally spoke. "Immediately send someone to investigate the Poles in Galicia. I will send a coded message to General Salamik. If
If these Poles in the area do anything bad, he will cooperate with you to take action."
Edel's words made the captain of the guard feel that the matter was serious, and he couldn't help but ask: "What is the standard for what we can do?"
"There are no restrictions on the standards. As long as these Poles demonstrate, they will act immediately according to the first-level plan."
Edel's words made Calust feel nervous. He knew what the first-level plan represented. This was the solution that would only be used when a rebellion was about to occur. This was also the first time that the plan had been used since it was formulated.
It needs to be explained here that after Eder ascended the throne, in order to prevent various emergencies, three-level plans were set up. The third-level plan is a plan for small-scale popular protests to break out, which is mainly solved by the government. The second-level plan is
When large-scale public protests break out, this will be a solution that will be dealt with by the government and the military. The first-level plan can only be used when hot issues arise and the government’s pacification efforts have been ineffective. Investigations have found that rioting militants have appeared in the area.
Level 1 plan. The goal of this plan is to seal off the area to prevent it from spreading, and then the army will exterminate it with the cooperation of the intelligence department.
The only thing that was weird about this plan was that it was used on Ukrainian territory. Kalust had a vague idea in his mind, but he had to dare not say this somewhat bold guess. So he immediately replied: "I will lead the team myself.
past."
"Go ahead."
After sending Karust away, Edel looked at the Galicia region on the map and said to himself: "I hope the situation I am worried about will not happen, otherwise, Poles, I will let you know the consequences.
"
Yes, the telegram Edel saw was the telegram sent back by Prime Minister Bretianu, stating that Poland wanted to seize Galicia from Romania.
For Edel, who has regarded this area as his own, these Poles are seeking death. In the situation where they will be hostile to Germany and Russia in the future when they get a large piece of territory from Germany and the former Russia, the Poles actually still
Having the guts to provoke Romania can only mean that the Poles are completely blinded by greed.
However, the investigation into Galicia takes time, and in addition to waiting for the results, Eder is also concerned about Romania's economic recovery.
However, Romania is currently reversing its current wartime economy, which can be seen from the large-scale reduction of military forces and their return to economic development.
However, this takes time, and at present, Romania's domestic industrial and agricultural production has not recovered significantly due to the impact of the war. It can only reach 68% of the highest level (before the declaration of war against the Allies), which is also affected by the general mobilization of the war.
However, the government is quite calm about this, because the development of the newly occupied territories will drive the recovery of Romania's economy. And there is another reason that everyone understands, that is, with the disintegration of Austria-Hungary, the defeat of Germany, and Russia
The color has changed, and there is a vacuum of interests in Central and Southern Europe and the Balkans, which they used to compete for endlessly.
At present, the strongest country in the region is Romania. Therefore, government departments generally believe that when Britain, France, and Italy penetrate the region, Romania can also get a share of the pie.
However, Caraturi, who is the Minister of Industry, also pointed out that Romania's current economy is relatively simple, mainly focusing on food and its processing industry, petroleum and its chemical industry, and vehicle manufacturing industry as strong export products. Many other products still need to be imported.
Before Romania's territorial expansion, these industries were able to meet the continued development of population and economy. However, after the great expansion of territory, these industries were somewhat unable to meet their needs. At present, Romania needs more other industries to meet the continued development of population and economy.
According to Romania's latest statistics, its total domestic population has grown rapidly from 10.67 million before the war to 18.64 million. The main factor is that Romania captured Transylvania and Eastern Moldavia (the region has voted to join Romania)
), as well as Hungarian territories east of the Tisza River and eastern Transcarpathian Mountains. (Excluding Galicia, Odessa and other places that are still legally part of Ukraine.)
In fact, these captured territories do not legally belong to Romania. However, everyone from the private sector to the government ignores this, and public opinion continues to claim that the area already belongs to Romania's new territory. This is because Romanian soldiers are unscrupulous in the area.
It can be seen from the expulsion of the Hungarians that they completely ignored the attitude of the Hungarians.
After integrating this new territory (currently part of the new territory in Eder's heart), the current ethnic ratio in Romania is; 76.2% are Romanians, and then 12.6% are Hungarians (but this ethnic group is being expelled, so it will decrease)
; followed by 4.1% Bulgarians; 3.4% Ukrainians; and the rest are Germans, Slovaks, Poles, Jews, Gypsies, etc.
From Romania's many actions in these territories, we can see that it is determined to win this territory.
In order to fully develop the new territory and let the people in the area feel the dividends given by Romania, Karaturi also suggested that the government organize a geological exploration team to conduct systematic exploration of the new territory.
In addition, investment in mining of coal, iron, gold and other minerals that have been discovered in the Transylvania region is required. However, the coal and iron in the region are of poor quality and are not suitable for industrial use. But for the prosperity of the region
, Romania still plans to invest in mining, which can be regarded as full of sincerity to the people of Transylvania.
Edel agreed to Caraturi's suggestion and let him do it. Romania needs talented people like him.
In fact, Edel has his eyes on Karaturi, who has been active recently. However, he still supports this thoughtful cadre.
Different voices are needed within the government, and currently Prime Minister Bretianu's prestige in the government is too high, which is not a good thing. Moreover, after winning this war, apart from himself and a limited number of people in the military, he will benefit the most. And the war is over.
, it is indeed necessary for the government to have different voices.
Edel was thinking about what would happen after the war, when an attendant hurriedly came to him with a telegram.
