Although there was a period of diplomatic quarrels, and even targeted moves against Romania in terms of trade import and export, in the end the Italian-Romanian company's shares remained unchanged.
Because Romania exports less to Britain and France, it cannot be made to feel distressed. At best, it can only be considered a small loss.
At present, Romania's exports are mainly to Italy and Spain in Southern Europe, Germany in Central Europe, Poland in Eastern Europe, and the countries surrounding the Balkans. Exports to Britain and France only account for a smaller share, and to put it bluntly, Romania's products are not as good as those of its own country.
As for the Far East and America, the share is not large.
Speaking of the Far East, Edel's new friend sent him a telegram. He hoped to hire a retired general from Romania as his personal consultant to help him in the military (historically it was a German lieutenant colonel, but
Now that I am friends with Edel, I naturally start with acquaintances).
Faced with this request to meet new friends in the Far East, Edel naturally could not refuse. Not to mention that the Far East had a large enough market, and various strategic resources alone could not allow Edel to ignore the request to be the leader of the region in the future.
So Edel summoned General Freit, Chief of General Staff, and asked for suitable candidates.
"I don't know what your Majesty's requirements are for this."
Freit naturally has no objection to sending a retired general to serve as a private military consultant. He also has some understanding of the current situation in the Far East. This can be regarded as the top leader of the organization, helping others
The industry will help Romania expand its influence in the region.
Moreover, according to his understanding, the military industry in the Far East is poor and the demand for ordnance in the region is extremely large. Romania also produces German-style weapons that the region likes. Selling weapons in the future can also help the country's military industry.
Therefore, Admiral Freit naturally agreed with this. The only request was to ask King Edel what requirements he had for the generals he sent, so that he could send retired generals according to the requirements. Because generals have different abilities and focuses, and some have different requirements.
They have a deep understanding of campaign command, some are proficient in dispersed attacks by small groups, and there are generals who are famous for training soldiers and managing logistics. Everything depends on which general Edel thinks is appropriate to send.
After thinking about the habits of this friend from the Far East, Edel said, "Be able to be proficient in strategy and tactics, and be able to give answers to military problems based on national conditions. In addition, you need to be good at handling interpersonal relationships. Even if the plan is rejected, you can quickly come up with a new one."
plan."
Edel's words made Freit a little thirsty. This was not about choosing a personal consultant, but a chief of staff. So he couldn't help but said. "Your Majesty, according to your requirements, only Marshal Pleshan and I are suitable."
candidate."
Listening to the words of the Chief of General Staff, Edel realized that his demands were too high. However, he sincerely hoped to enhance the military strength of the motherland in future generations so that it could retain more strength in future catastrophes. Although he knew this
Political parties have many problems, but the people who are suffering are innocent.
"Then there must be a general who is proficient in strategy and tactics and can handle interpersonal relationships well."
Edel lowered his requirements, and he attached great importance to the handling of interpersonal relationships. Handling it well will not only expand Romania's influence, but also benefit the country (such as the future General von Seeckt, but such as General Stilwell)
.
This time Edel lowered his requirements, making it much easier for Freit to handle. He was making a choice in his mind. First, the military rank should not be too high, so as not to attract too much attention, and those generals and lieutenant generals could be eliminated. Then
You need to find one among major generals, and it's really hard to find a major general who meets Edel's requirements and has to retire from active service.
Suddenly he thought about it, and a person's name quickly flashed in his mind, Major General Moderke, the former commander of the 18th Division. This major general had fought in the Balkan War and World War I before, and performed well. There was still hope of being promoted to a higher level.
, but later retired from active duty due to health reasons.
Later, he recovered under the careful treatment of his family. General Freit originally planned to recruit him back into the army at some point, but now he needs a general to serve as a personal consultant, and that is him.
"Major General Moderke, the former commander of the 18th Division, meets His Majesty's requirements."
Facing the name Freit said, Edel seemed to have some impression.
"Then it's decided that it's him."
Major General Modelk, who was eager to return to the army, was sent to the Far East.
After seeing off Freit, the captain of the guard Horia hurriedly walked in with a telegram.
"Your Majesty, an urgent message from Geneva."
Edel received the telegram and saw that it was the League of Nations that had just made a resolution and Germany was allowed to join the League of Nations.
Perhaps people in the future will sneer at this League of Nations. Because after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Japan used it to wipe its ass on the League of Nations' decisions that were not beneficial to itself.
It needs to be explained that this is because Britain and France have limited military intervention capabilities in the Far East, and the relationship between Nanjing and Britain and France at that time was not very friendly. In addition, Britain and France were greatly weakened by the world economic crisis. I didn’t see the Italian leader doing the same.
Do we have to wait until the 1930s to do something in Ethiopia? Currently, Britain and France, which dominate the League of Nations, are more powerful in Europe, so joining the League of Nations is the most critical step for Germany to get out of its status as a defeated country and become a normal country.
However, this step is not easy at all. Previously, in 1920, at the first League of Nations conference, Switzerland and Argentina proposed for the first time that Germany join the League of Nations, but France righteously rejected it.
The reason was that the League of Nations was established at great cost to the whole of Europe. As a defeated country, Germany could not become a member of the League of Nations. Moreover, the diplomatic situation at that time was very unfavorable to Germany, and the resistance to Germany joining the League of Nations was beyond imagination.
It was not until the establishment of diplomatic relations between Germany and the Soviet Union on the eve of the Genoa Conference that the situation was relieved. Because Britain and France discovered that not allowing Germany to join would draw it into the embrace of the Soviet Union. At this time, except for France, other countries' attitudes toward Germany's joining the League of Nations changed.
changed.
When the Ruhr crisis broke out, France, which was seeking death, suffered heavy losses in its diplomacy, and Germany received a lot of sympathetic voices in its diplomacy. This gave Germany an excellent environment to join the League of Nations. However, the obstruction from France was still unable to
The existence of neglect.
Finally in 1926, in order to cooperate with the smooth implementation of the Dawes Plan, the League of Nations made the decision to let Germany join.
In the final analysis, Britain and France want to use the carrot of restoring Germany to become a normal country and let Germany continue to pay compensation. However, Germany, which will gradually regain its strength in the future, will make it impossible for Britain and France to steal the chicken and lose the rice. In the final analysis, the reason for all this is its money.
