When the Soviet peace proposal was sent to Bucharest, Edel was also distressed by the war.
Although the results of this war were good, four Soviet divisions were annihilated and four divisions were severely damaged. The total losses of the Soviet army in other battles reached 112,000. However, the Romanian soldiers were not invulnerable, and the losses were not small. According to military statistics
Among the figures, more than 47,000 officers and soldiers were killed, missing, and injured.
The pensions for these people alone are a large amount of money, plus the lost weapons and equipment, as well as the military supplies consumed, the total cost of this battle is about 50 million U.S. dollars. It can be said that a cannon fire is worth ten thousand dollars.
Two, the ancients will never deceive me.
And this battle made Edel also know the dangers of playing on the sidelines, and it is easy to go too far if you are not careful. The conflict with the Soviet Union was a manifestation of his messed up. He originally planned to have a Zhang Gufeng incident, but he ended up messing up.
It turned into a local war. Fortunately, both sides had scruples and controlled the scale. Otherwise, a full-scale war was likely to break out.
But in the end, the result is good. If we lose this war, we will lose both our wife and our troops.
And this also reminded Edel not to take drastic actions just because he thinks he knows the direction of history. He might end up shooting himself in the foot.
And here Prime Minister Karaturi hurried over with Foreign Minister Coster.
"Your Majesty, this is a peace negotiation proposal sent by the Soviet Union."
Prime Minister Karaturi handed over the diplomatic letter of the Soviet Union. There was a look of joy on both of their faces. After all, they are both high-level government officials, no more than those in the private sector. They still know the gap between the two countries very well, and they also know the scale of this battle.
The smaller the suppression, the better for Romania. And what the government was most afraid of before was that the Soviet Union would become angry and launch a larger-scale war due to its defeat on the battlefield. Although this possibility is very small, it is still a possibility.
Not only did the government not have confidence in Romania competing against the Soviet Union alone, but Edel and the military also had no confidence in it. The main reason was that the population gap was too large. Even if a few Soviet soldiers killed one Romanian soldier, Edel would still lose.
Sorry.
So when Eder saw the news about the peace talks proposal, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"What suggestions do you have for peace talks?"
Edel looked at the two people and asked.
Faced with Edel's question, Kostel, as the foreign minister, immediately responded. "According to the government's wishes, it is naturally willing to negotiate peace with the Soviet Union. However, we need to choose a place as the location for peace talks, and we also need to negotiate with the Soviet Union in terms of time.
Negotiate."
"Then let's call it Warsaw."
Regarding the location of the peace talks, naturally you cannot choose the country concerned, so you can only negotiate in other countries. Taking into account the current relations with various countries, Edel set this location in Poland, which currently has the best relations. It can also help Poland improve its international reputation.
Status can be regarded as a casual benefit.
"As for the specific time, we can discuss it with the Soviet Union. I believe that they, like us, are willing to end this war as soon as possible."
After Edel finished talking about the time and place, he continued. "As for the conditions, Helmek Mountain must belong to us."
The Hermek Mountains, which caused the conflict between the two parties, must be under Romanian control. This is also what Edel told the Romanian people. Otherwise, why would the domestic media publicize the significance of this battle? How would the domestic people be allowed to
To improve your self-confidence, you can't just talk about it, you need to show evidence. And the Hermek Mountains are under the control of Romania, which is the best evidence.
"As for other issues regarding the exchange of prisoners and the return of weapons, we can also talk to the Soviet side."
Edel still doesn’t understand the communist country, so don’t even think about reparations or anything like that.
It can be said that it is very difficult in this regard. Unless you can defeat it, it is simply impossible. As for the Brest-Litovsk Agreement that Lenin signed at that time, it was under the pressure of survival problems. And when he saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it,
After the plane crash, didn’t Soviet Russia tear up the contract? As for Stalin’s peace proposal in World War II, it was just a delaying tactic. If Hitler had really agreed, it would have been at most two years of peace. When the Soviet Union recovered its strength, it would continue to fight.
.This is also the reason why Hitler rejected Stalin's peace proposal. He had long seen that Stalin was just asking for a breathing space.
After Edel explained the basic conditions for the peace talks, both of them breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't know that their king knew the Soviet Union very well, and they were most afraid that the king would have radical ideas. This would make the peace talks more difficult, and
The possibility of a breakdown in talks has not been ruled out.
The conditions given by Edel now make the success rate of the peace talks very high. So after receiving Edel's reply, the two left with satisfaction.
When the Prime Minister and others left, his son Victor's face was bruised and bruised, and he ran in front of him wearing a military uniform with a look of grievance on his face.
Now Victor sent him to a military school to study, and he was not allowed to reveal his identity as a prince.
"Did you fight with someone?"
Seeing the tragic image of his son, Edel asked.
"They beat me."
With a look of grievance, Victor told the story of being beaten.
According to Victor, he had an argument with someone over a trivial matter and then got into a fight.
Of course, Edel would not completely listen to his son's words, so he summoned a guard to ask him to understand the situation. After the guard informed him of the situation, Edel realized that the matter was not as minor as his son said.
Victor, who concealed his identity in the military academy, was disliked by other classmates because of his naughty and mischievous character. Then he was beaten violently because of an argument with others.
"Do you know why you were beaten by others?"
Looking at his son who still looked aggrieved, Edel asked.
"Because they don't like me."
"If a person doesn't like you, it may be his fault, but if a group of people don't like you, it's also their fault?"
Victor, who was educated by Edel, was speechless now.
I saw Edel continue to say. "Since it is your fault, then you need to make changes. Find out what reasons you have that make you unpopular."
After sending Victor away, who seemed to understand but not understand, Edel regretted that he failed to discipline his son well. Now Victor still has a moldable character, so he needs to be put into military school to hone his character. If he waits until he becomes an adult, his character
Once it's fixed, that's troublesome.
Peace talks between Romania and the Soviet Union are progressing rapidly, and both parties are interested in ending this war that has become meaningless.
So when the Soviet representative Molotov and the Romanian representative Kostel signed in Warsaw, it represented the end of the Russo-Soviet War.
The result is that except for the return of Mount Hermek to Romania, the territories of the two countries will not change. In addition, the two countries will return the captured weapons to each other, and the captives will also need to bear their own living expenses. Mainly, the Soviet prisoners are relatively small.
More than 10,000 prisoners required expenses, and naturally the Soviet Union had to foot the bill.
Generally speaking, this is a contract that both parties are satisfied with. Romania has diverted the attention of the people abroad, and its national self-esteem has been improved after winning. The Soviet Union has seen its gap in this war, and believes that the next step will be a period of catching up.
