Chapter 668 The head of state's trip to Romania (5)
"Hello, Your Majesty Edel."
"Hello, Fuhrer Hitler."
In the palace, Hitler finally came to visit Eder after visiting Romania. Both sides had high expectations for this meeting between the leaders of the two countries.
"Your Majesty Edel, we meet again. Now I think of the meeting in Munich as if it were yesterday. What His Majesty said to me at that time is still vivid in my mind."
After the guest of honor took his seat, Hitler began to talk about the scene when the two met for the first time.
Facing Hitler's words, Edel took over and said, "What happened at that time was a thing of the past, and I remember that your Excellency's wish at that time was to save the suffering German people and bring them back to a normal country. But now.
Germany's unemployment rate has almost been eliminated, and its economy is growing rapidly, which is simply a miracle in Europe."
When Edel talked about Germany's development over the years, Hitler naturally knew what to say. "This was all accomplished by the German people under the leadership of the government. The German people's expectations of the government kept me awake at night. Fortunately, with the help of many like-minded people, it finally didn't happen."
Live up to their expectations.”
After being humble, Hitler began to talk about the development of Romania. "Compared with the development of our country, Romania is a model in Europe. Romania has always been on the front line against the evil country of the Soviet Union. If Romania had not helped Poland, it would have blocked it."
Failure to contain the Soviet army will pose a huge threat to the European order. I think this is worthy of admiration for your country's silent contribution. Moreover, your country's development over the years has not fallen behind. Now its economic strength is approaching that of France, so with your country
Compared with other countries, our country’s development is nothing.”
What Hitler said is a consensus in Europe. Because in this time and space, Poland's territory is smaller than in history, and more Soviet troops are attacking. Many military experts have concluded that without Romanian reinforcements, Poland alone would be unable to resist it. Even
The deceased Polish army commander Piłsudski also thought so.
So this is not Hitler's praise of Romania, but his words changed. "However, Poland's military power is currently out of balance with the Soviet Union, which is very detrimental to Europe. The evil Soviet Union's intentions towards Europe have never been ignored.
, and the Spanish Civil War is very illustrative.”
Yes, this was the first mission of Hitler's visit, to dismantle the Baltic Alliance. Although this alliance was only aimed at the Soviet Union, if it did a lot, it might turn to Germany.
Moreover, Poland currently occupies West Prussia and other former German territories. After Hitler solves the Czech Republic, his next target will be the Poles, so solving the Baltic Alliance in advance is more important than anything else.
Moreover, at this time and space, the pressure on both the east and west fronts of Germany was considerable. There was the Anglo-French Alliance on the west front, and the Baltic Alliance on the eastern front. In previous domestic discussions, it was generally believed that it would be easiest to break up the Baltic Alliance on the eastern front, and the alliance had no relationship.
It is as difficult as Britain and France to dismantle Germany with its own strength.
Edel didn't understand the meaning of Hitler's words. However, although Romania also wanted to get rid of the Polo Alliance, Hitler didn't know it, so the imbalance of information he had gave Edel the option of making an offer. Moreover, Germany was in the Czech Republic
The problem still lies with Romania, which is more beneficial to Eder.
I saw him say, "Our country has been resisting the threat of the Soviet Union together with Poland for more than ten years. Although it is somewhat difficult to resist the increasingly powerful Soviet Union, we should not have any doubts about its determination to fight the Soviet Union.
"
It is obvious that Edel is sitting on the Diaoyutai and waiting for Hitler to make an offer. And Hitler naturally knows it very well, but unlike Romania, Germany cannot afford to delay it at present, especially if it does not break up the Baltic Alliance and allows Hitler to put pressure on the Czech Republic.
Some hesitation.
So Hitler decided to give his own conditions first. "Although the Baltic Alliance is still blocking the Soviet Union's ambitions in Europe, I think this alliance has become increasingly difficult. As a responsible big country, Germany also intends to fight against
The Soviet Union would contribute. I think joining Germany would have a better effect in fighting the Soviet Union."
Two people with evil intentions were using the fight against the Soviet Union as an excuse to seek benefits for their respective countries.
Since Hitler was so enthusiastic about joining this alliance, Edel naturally could not refuse the other party's kindness. Edel continued, "Your Excellency, the Führer, Germany is so enthusiastic about fighting the Soviet Union, so what reason do we have to refuse?"
After seeing Edel agreeing to Germany joining the alliance, Hitler continued: "Currently, many Germans live outside Germany. They have lived there for generations and have thrived there. However, these people have lost their lives because of some historical events.
The reason is that they are treated as a minority by the host country.
They were discriminated against and abused, their homes were demolished by the thugs, and their personalities were thrown to the ground and trampled on. As the motherland of the Germans, we cannot stand by and watch this happen. We must change all kinds of injustices against the Germans in these areas.
Let them obtain their due rights and obligations, so our country has the obligation and responsibility to help you."
Edel knew that this was Hitler's condition for joining the alliance, so he pretended to be deaf and continued to ask... "For these Germans living abroad, what does the Führer mean..."
"These Germans living abroad must receive the treatment they deserve. As for the Germans in the Czech Republic, due to their dissatisfaction with the oppression of the Czech government, they should be resolved as a priority. Therefore, I suggest that the Sudetai area in the Czech Republic where Germans make up the majority
In the referendum, they can choose to continue to obey the Czech government, to be autonomous, or to return to the embrace of Germany."
The referendum that Hitler mentioned is indeed a common way to deal with ethnic disputes in Europe. However, Edel knew that the Germans in the Sudetai area had very close ties with Germany. Starting in 1933, Konrad Henlein was the
The political party led by the leader has been constantly demanding autonomy rights in the Sudetenland. As long as the region holds a referendum, Germany will have the opportunity to intervene.
Moreover, the Sudetai area was also the front line for the Czech Republic to defend against German invasion. The fortifications built in the mountains were enough to give Germany a headache.
That’s right, regardless of history or current time and space, Germany’s intention towards the Czech Republic has never changed. That is to seize the Czech Republic, the heavy industrial base of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, and let it serve Germany’s military expansion and war preparations. However, Germany currently needs to worry about other things.
The feelings of the countries are mainly Britain, France, Italy and Romania.
Facing Hitler's words, Edel sighed in his heart that he didn't want the Sudetai region. The previous alliances were all paving the way for this place, and the alliance with Romania could also target the future Poland. It was a good plan.
But Edel is not bad either. He already has a hole waiting for the Germans to jump.
I saw Edel speak. "We have high sympathy for the Germans in the Sudetai region of the Czech Republic who are being oppressed by the government. However, we think it is best to resolve the referendum in the region through negotiation."
Faced with Edel's disapproval of Germany's annexation of Sudetai, Hitler could sense a different meaning. It would be best to negotiate a solution, which means that Romania does not object to Germany's move. Of course, this is a conceptual term.
, as an outstanding politician, Hitler knew that this was Romania and waited for him to negotiate terms.
Since we are talking about conditions, there is a way to do this. I saw Hitler thinking about it in his heart and said. "The development of Romania in recent years is amazing. I saw it in Lviv, and it is also similar to the Ruhr area in our country."
Not inferior. In just over 20 years, Romania has been able to develop from a small Balkan country to a powerful country. I think that in addition to the efforts of your people and government, the efforts of His Majesty Eder are also inseparable. So, I don’t know
What does His Majesty think of Romania’s status in Europe?”
Of course, I moved to a small bench and sat down to watch.
Edel, who was naughty in his heart, knew that this was Hitler asking him to make conditions, so he was prepared in his heart and said seriously. "Our country is just a Balkan country, so our country's interests are only in the Balkans. However, the current public opinion in Hungary
It's a bit unfriendly to our country, which worries me a lot.
In addition, you also know that I serve as the monarch of Bulgaria, and I am also very concerned about the territory Bulgaria lost after World War I, so our country hopes that Germany can support us in requesting the return of the original Bulgarian territory occupied by Greece."
Edel's words shocked Hitler. He also had a reasonable explanation for Romania's military expansion, which was prepared for Greece. Moreover, Romania used its intention to attack the Czech Republic to seize the northern territory of Greece for Romania.
Hitler, who was feeling a little confused at the moment, replied calmly. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty Edel, this matter is of great importance and I need to discuss it."
"No problem, we can discuss this issue next time we meet."
Facing Hitler's demands, Edel didn't mind at all, because Germany needed each other more than Romania.
After Edel finished speaking, Hitler left in a hurry. He urgently needed to discuss the news with the accompanying Foreign Minister Ribbentrop, because it was really of great importance to Germany.
