"Yes, Your Excellency the Head of State. Romania wants to introduce these Jews to supplement Romania's shortage of labor."
Now that Hitler had pointed it out, Edel also stated his request openly. And his words silenced Hitler and Mussolini.
Logically speaking, Edel's request will not only purify the atmosphere in their country, but also help them solve the cost problem caused by imprisonment. The two of them should be very happy to agree. The fact is indeed what Edel said, but it is still.
There is also a part that he did not mention. That is, in this anti-Semitism, in addition to the country gaining a lot of benefits, many powerful people also benefited a lot from it.
As for the Jews who are currently troubled by anti-Semitism, those with money and ability have long since fled, while the remaining ordinary Jews have no choice but to be stranded in Germany because they have no money and no means.
And Edel is targeting these people. These ordinary Jews are basically no different from other people. They are all workers, farmers, teachers and other workers from all walks of life. However, due to ethnic divisions, they are classified as those who are discriminated against.
Target. At present, Germany mainly allows them to leave on their own or take them into custody.
It is impossible for these ordinary people to let Germany and Italy release them without giving them sufficient benefits. The main reason is that the base number is too large, and Germany and Italy have certain concerns about allowing them to be accepted by Romania. Moreover, while these people were imprisoned, they were also in
Earn benefits for both countries.
Free labor, regardless of usage issues, is simply a perfect example of exploitation, so a layer of vested interests quickly formed in the two countries. Hitler and Mussolini were either a member of this vested interest layer, or they were not good at it.
For Romania to touch its interests.
Facing the two silent people, Edel had already been mentally prepared. Perhaps before Romania made the request, Germany and Italy felt more like a burden (free labor) to the Jews. But now that Edel has spoken, this has become a problem between the two.
country’s bargaining chip.
Everyone is a qualified politician. Now that Romania is interested in Jews, let’s make an offer.
Naturally, Edel would not wait for Hitler and Mussolini to discover their consciences, and said directly. "One thousand lei per person, our country is willing to collect these Jews at the cost of one thousand lei per person. In addition, if you are willing,
Our country is willing to pay in kind, including weapons and equipment, and sell them to you at a fair price."
Edel's words made Hitler and Mussolini moved. Because as long as these Jews were given to Romania, they could exchange for the materials they needed and use them for what they needed. They had no reason to refuse this same condition. More
Not to mention, there are still many good things in Romania, and the two of them know that.
"No problem, our country can agree to your request."
"There is no problem in our country either."
The answers from the two of them were indeed as expected by Edel. Who would refuse something that is beneficial to them?
And Edel did not bring these Jews here to do good deeds. Although it can be regarded as helping them escape from the sea of suffering, these Jews also have to work hard for the cause of Romania. What 996 is a blessing will become the norm for them, and everyone must
Contribute to the cause of Romania.
Naturally, the cost of paying billions of lei for these millions of Jews will not be fully paid by Romania. The Jewish Council will also pay more than 50 million U.S. dollars, but this can only be used as a reward for Edel's words.
At that time, every Jew who came to Romania would have to bear a debt of 3,000 lei. Before the debt was repaid, he would have to work hard for Romania.
And those who love it don’t need to think about it to know that the two countries will definitely not ask for funds, but will choose equipment. And Romania has gradually shifted to a wartime economic model, and it can definitely supply equipment to the two countries.
Take the Lviv Tractor Factory, the largest tank manufacturer in Romania, for example. The factory is designed to produce 120,000 tractors annually. Although it is not as good as the Stalingrad Tractor Factory in the Soviet Union, it is also famous in Europe. At present, the factory
It has been transferred to the production of tanks. With the efforts of the factory director Sodavar, the factory's daily production of tanks has reached 45 tanks (12 R10 light tanks, 26 R20 medium tanks, and 7 R30 heavy tanks).
There are many factories like the Lviv Tractor Manufacturing Plant. This is one of the benefits of the Romanian government’s control of these enterprises. As long as the government gives an order, production can be adjusted immediately. Moreover, Romania’s time to stockpile weapons and expand preparations for war has begun.
Early, because according to the weapons given by the military that can be used by three million people, 80% of the orders have been completed. The hot state of the military industry has also affected
Of course, the topic of Jews is just the appetizer for this tripartite negotiation, and the truly important issues are yet to come.
However, the three of them are still very happy to have reached an agreement before. And this is a win-win situation, so that's even better.
After the dinner that day, Mussolini immediately called his son-in-law to his side. "The negotiations between our country and Germany need to be accelerated."
"What's wrong?"
Ciano was very curious that his father-in-law's attitude suddenly changed so quickly.
Mussolini immediately stated what Eder had just said about Greece, and also stated Romania's decision to accept the Jews.
Mussolini naturally trusted his son-in-law very much and told him all the information he knew.
After listening to what his father-in-law Mussolini said, Ciano thought for a while and then said. "Although occupying part of Greek territory can expand our influence in the Mediterranean, our country needs to consider the feelings of Britain and France. We are not as powerful as Germany and Romania.
It is the weakest among the three countries. Unless we get military assistance from the two countries, it is best for us to wait and see."
It is obvious that Ciano has a very clear understanding of Italy's strength and knows that Italy's strength alone cannot achieve anything. It is best to wait for Romania to take the lead and show signs of action before following up. This will at least make Italy more profitable.
But although Ciano's idea was very good, it was obvious that Mussolini did not see it that way.
"We cannot rely on the help of other countries for everything. Look at Germany and Romania. As long as they gather their troops at the border and create a tense atmosphere, Britain and France behind Greece will make them obediently meet our demands. Last time we didn't do it ourselves.
Hold on, I will never do this this time."
It was obvious that Mussolini had great confidence in his army.
Hearing Mussolini's words, Ciano was immediately shocked and said, "It's too risky for my father-in-law to do this."
"Don't worry, I will make complete preparations, at least after Romania joins forces with us. Now our first priority is to negotiate with the German alliance, and it would be best if we can also negotiate with Romania here."
It seems that Mussolini is very optimistic about the Dro Alliance this time and plans to invest in it. Even if his son-in-law objects, he has made his decision.
