The alliance negotiations with Italy went very smoothly, after both parties achieved the results they wanted, and Italy also received military assistance from Romania.
After negotiating an alliance with Italy, the relationship between the three countries has now become one of you and me, and we have you, and many issues can be discussed face to face.
So after all countries had basically reached an agreement, the three leaders who were in charge of the country sat together and chatted.
Although it is just casual chat, who would take it seriously?
For example, the German head of state, Hitler, kept instilling his anti-Semitic theories into Edel while chatting.
"The Jews are not worthy of trust. They are like a national virus, moths, constantly sucking up the country's wealth and resources. When you have nothing more to give them, they will incite the people to oppose the government. Even in order to protect their own interests,
They can make deals with your enemies. These people are not reliable at all, and the best place for them is to be eliminated and thrown into the garbage heap."
Obviously, Hitler was a little worried about Edel taking away those Jews, and he kept instilling his ideas into Edel.
In the face of the anti-Semitic tide in Germany, Italy and even Europe, Romania seems a bit different. Of course, this does not mean that there are no anti-Semitic incidents in Romania, but compared with the scale of other countries, Romania is only sporadic incidents, and they are basically spontaneous.
sexual behavior.
Therefore, this has also caused a sharp increase in the number of Jews in Romania, from only 114,000 (data in 1923) to the current 790,000 (data in 1938). The influx of these Jews has also greatly alleviated the labor shortage in Romania.
Due to the impact of military expansion, the domestic labor force has changed from affluence to shortage. The current unemployment rate in Romania is 1.9%, and the unemployment problem has basically been solved.
Of course, this is also closely related to Romania's small population. As more than one million people poured into the army, the related military industry sector immediately expanded in size. While other industries were still producing the materials needed by the people, this also led to a rapid population growth.
absorbed by it.
However, this state will not last long, because during wartime, more labor will be concentrated in military and related industries, which will make Romania's labor shortage even more urgent.
Therefore, Romania is really in urgent need of these Jews. Anyway, there is no labor force in the motherland, or the sense of identity is very low. Edel does not need them to identify with Romania, as long as it can ensure the supply of Romania.
As for the possible strike or the issue of equal pay for equal work, Romania will not be too polite to it. You must know that Edelke will not support his uncle, but will only use him as a labor force. To these Jews, he has a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other.
It is the best choice. Anyway, the domestic people have low recognition of it. Old-fashioned work is fine, but dishonesty can be punished.
Yes, Edel treats everyone this time as disposable labor, but he is just squeezing their surplus value.
After Romania wins the war, all these people will be packed up and sent away, but he has not yet decided where to send them. Although Palestine is the best choice for the Jews, Romania is not a beacon of pearls.
, does not have such strong strength to suppress opposition from Arabs.
As for other places, Edel hasn't thought about it yet.
However, this did not delay his talks with the leaders of the two countries.
"Your Majesty the Head of State, I wonder if your country has any solutions to Poland's problems."
Although Edel changed the subject, he talked about the Polish issue that Hitler was most concerned about. As a qualified politician, Hitler would naturally not be obsessed with the Jews anymore.
I saw him say. "Poland thinks that with the support of Britain and France, it will have nothing to fear, but we will let them know that even with the support of Britain and France, Germany will not just let Poland occupy German territory. And our country still has
A strong ally like yours will not have the slightest fear of Poland. In addition, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, our country is still making preparations for another project. Poland should not exist in this world at all."
Unlike Mussolini, Edel knew from Hitler's words what his other preparation was, wasn't it a treaty between the Soviet Union and Germany to carve up Poland. However, this clause should not involve Romania in this life, because Romania's strength
Regarding relations with German allies, Stalin discussed the Romanian issue because Hitler took the wrong medicine.
The fact is indeed as Edel expected. Ribbentrop, who is currently far away in Moscow, is discussing with Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov the division of power between the two countries, mainly the division of territory between the three Baltic countries and Poland. As for the division of territory between the three Baltic countries and Poland.
The topic of Romania was discussed only once, that is, the Soviet Union hoped that Germany could ease the relationship between the two countries.
Yes, the Soviet Union wanted to ease relations with Romania.
Now Stalin is very troubled by the anti-Soviet diehards in Romania. Of course, this has a lot to do with Romania's strength. If Romania was as strong as it was in history, there would be no need to worry about it. He could just send troops to suppress the situation.
It's just that Romania now, through many wars, has let the Soviet Union know that it is not easy to mess with, and it is still stubborn and stubborn.
This is completely delaying the industrialization process of the Soviet Union, which is the most abhorrent to Stalin. Therefore, for the sake of the industrialization of the Soviet Union, he plans to reconcile with Romania, or at least ease the relationship.
Isn't it fun for everyone to have nearly a million troops stationed at the border? All this costs money. Do you have a mine in Romania or is it demolished? Are you so careless about your own economy?
However, these Edels knew nothing about it. After basically learning from Hitler that the situation in Poland was still developing according to historical development, he turned around and planned to seek some benefits for Italy. There is no way that the Italians' performance in the two world wars was too amazing.
Edel had to defend himself. At least Italy needed to hold on a little longer until Romanian reinforcements arrived.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, is there any gap in Italy at present?"
Edel's words surprised Mussolini. He did not expect that the Romanian king was speaking good words for Italy.
After hearing Edel's words, Hitler couldn't help but wrinkled his forehead.
What happened to the King of Romania?
If the information hadn't clearly shown that he was of German descent, he would have thought he was the King of Italy.
However, Mussolini was still a master at seizing opportunities. Before Edel could finish his words, he immediately expressed his bitterness. "Italy's current preparations are quite insufficient and it needs a large amount of ordnance and industrial supplies, among which..."
In Mussolini's words, Italy lacked everything but oil, and the more the merrier, anyway.
So much so that by the time Mussolini finished speaking, Hitler almost doubted whether it was right to choose Italy as an ally.
But before Hitler could speak, Edel immediately took up the conversation. "Since Italy is currently in many difficulties, Romania, as an ally, must not sit idly by. Although Romania itself is also in difficulty, it can still squeeze out a batch of additional supplies to Italy.
.”
Then according to Edel's story, a batch of supplies worth 100 million lei was given away. When Hitler saw Edel's generous move, he naturally knew that he could not escape, so he gritted his teeth and delivered a batch of supplies worth 100 million lei.
Supplies worth 100 million Reichsmarks were also collected by Mussolini.
This made Mussolini, who had received the windfall, burst into laughter and kept reaffirming his friendship with Germany and Romania.
And this tripartite summit meeting also came to an end in a cheerful atmosphere.
Each country got the results it wanted, and Germany got two allies to help it share the pressure, while stabilizing the situation in the Balkans and the Mediterranean.
Italy also received Romania's guarantee, further releasing its ambitions in the Balkans.
As for Romania, it is naturally not bad either. The alliance with Germany ensured the temporary security of the Eastern Front. With the help of Italy, the Mediterranean Sea has been opened to it. And what happens next depends on whether Romania has the strength to take advantage of these results. Regarding this
Edel is very confident, because he has been preparing for this war for longer than others imagined.
