The evening breeze of the Atlantic Ocean brings a cool breeze on the cruise ship, which greatly alleviates the scorching summer heat. Many tourists come to the luxury cruise ship St. Louis to escape the heat. Captain Abel looked at the leisurely tourists and turned around with concern.
Asked the first mate: "Is our distinguished guest feeling better?"
The first mate, who is the captain's mate, nodded and replied. "I took someone over to deliver some fresh fruit in the afternoon. I heard it's much better."
Hearing the words of the adjutant, Captain Abel was relieved even though he was used to seasickness. There was no way, this time the distinguished guests were a bit too distinguished, and Captain Abel couldn't help but care.
In the largest and most luxurious guest room of the St. Louis luxury cruise ship, Edel's face was still a little pale. There was no way anyone could make him seasick. He had never traveled far since he was born, and of course he had never been on an ocean cruise. This was the first time he took a cruise.
Unfortunately, I got seasick, and the condition was quite serious, which made the attendants very busy.
However, there is currently no specific medicine for seasickness in the world, and some sleeping pills can only be prescribed to relieve it. So Edel has been looking depressed these days. Fortunately, after a few days of adapting, Edel's seasickness symptoms have improved a lot.
It makes people look less anxious.
"Mary, it's okay, it's just seasickness."
Edel looked at his worried wife beside him and spoke to comfort her.
"You look so bad these days, how could I not be worried."
"It's really okay. You can see that I'm much better."
Facing Edel, his wife Mary's expression softened a lot. You must know that Edel was vomiting so hard just one day after boarding the ship that he almost vomited out bile. Compared with that time, Edel just doesn't look too good now.
nice.
"Then eat some fruit. I heard that eating some fruit can relieve seasickness."
Looking at his wife's concerned eyes, Edel took the apple from her hand.
In fact, Edel looked bad, not only because of seasickness, but also because of the unsatisfactory visit to England and France.
If the previous visits to the three countries were a complete success, then the visits to Britain and France somewhat discouraged Edel. Edel, who had just visited Italy at that time, was somewhat satisfied with the results he was satisfied with in three consecutive countries. So.
He had somewhat high expectations for the visit to Britain and France, but the result gave him a wake-up call.
Originally, Eder planned to discuss with the French government the introduction of military industry and other technologies, as well as discussions on the relationship between the Little Entente Powers and Romania, etc. However, I don’t know if it was because the Soviet Union turned to domestic construction, but France used various excuses for the export of various technologies.
Delay. Moreover, they refused to discuss the relationship between the Little Entente and Romania on the grounds that they would not interfere with other countries.
This makes Edel very discouraged, because the so-called Little Entente currently composed of France includes Poland, the Czech Republic, and Serbia. Although these countries currently have good relations with Romania, looking at its geographical location, maybe this
The alliance against Germany may turn its back on Romania.
Although it has never happened in the original history, now that Romania has grown to this extent, it does not mean that it is not possible. In Romania, many people are worried about this alliance.
Because it cannot be said that these countries have no disputes with Romania. For example, Poland has conflicts in the Western Galicia region. Because Lviv is a famous Polish city and should belong to Poland in terms of history and ethnic composition, but it was occupied by Romania.
Even though Romania and Poland are currently as good as honey, the Romanian government has never let down its guard against the Poles in the area. Because Romania cannot afford to lose this area, it is currently its only heavy industrial base. Just like in the 1950s and 1960s.
The relationship between Northeast China and China is the same, and it is a top priority.
The Czech Republic also has a dispute with Romania over the Eastern Transcarpathian Mountains, because it annexed the Slovak region, and the Slovaks in the Eastern Transcarpathian Mountains account for more than 40% of the population. In the Czech Republic, there are also disputes from time to time.
Newspapers claimed that the area should be incorporated into the country. Especially after the discovery of oil resources in the area, this call reached a new height. Although the Czech government did not respond to this, Romania is still wary of this.
Serbia also has a dispute with Romania over the Sava Valley. This area is home to nearly half of the Serbian population, but was assigned to Romania due to a treaty.
Therefore, regarding this small Entente led by France, many people in Romania believe that this alliance may be directed against Romania. You must know that the tragic war that just ended was caused by the small country Serbia, if it were not for Russia's support behind it
, do they dare to challenge Austria-Hungary like this?
Therefore, after France flatly rejected Romania's request, it caused people in Romania to speculate on its intention to form an alliance. In fact, France had previously had the idea of bringing Romania into such an alliance, but after considering that Romania would join, it might compete for it.
The idea was shelved.
The setback in France allowed Edel to see France's complicated mentality towards Romania. Not only because Romania is on the front line of the Soviet Union, it hopes that it will be strong enough to block the invasion of the Red Empire, but it is also afraid that Romania will be too powerful to compete with France for the interests of the Balkans and Central Europe.
This kind of worrying about gains and losses is why Edel failed to achieve much in France. Except for a treaty on the joint response of the two countries to the red threat, he achieved almost nothing.
As for the visit to the UK, it was also pretty good.
In addition to the British taking the lead in etiquette, Romania also faced many difficulties in introducing many technologies such as shipbuilding, aviation, and engines.
During Edel's meeting with Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, the moderate Conservative leader was less vigilant about the Red Empire than the previous prime ministers. This made Edel, who had planned to start in this area, feel that the visit was fruitful
Worrying, and indeed it is.
Although the British government held a grand welcome ceremony for the arrival of the King of Romania, and George V even invited the Edels to stay at Buckingham Palace. However, the British were not so hospitable to Romania during the talks, and various excuses made the results of the talks almost
none.
This made Edel, who originally planned to stay in the UK for more than half a month, take the St. Louis to go to the United States in just one week.
Next, I hope that the United States will not be like the United Kingdom and France. You must know that Edel has placed high hopes on his trip to the United States.
