In the palace in Bucharest, Edel carefully checked the information in front of him. After reading it, he couldn't help but rub his temples with his hands.
"Thank you, Hawke."
"It's not hard at all, Your Majesty. This is what our intelligence department should do."
In front of Edel, Hall Monkman answered respectfully.
Seeing the king of Romanian intelligence who looked harmless in front of him, Eder decided to give some encouragement. "This time your intelligence department did a good job and prevented Britain and the United States from getting closer. I hope you will continue your efforts and achieve greater success."
.”
"It is an honor for our intelligence department to serve the Kingdom."
Yes, Romania also contributed to the United States' rejection of the British proposal.
Don't think too much, Romania can't influence the political direction of the United States. It just increases funding for newspapers that advocate isolation, making isolationist voices louder in the United States.
Yes, for the current Axis Powers, it is best for them if the United States does not enter. Therefore, the influence of the three countries on the United States mainly relies on public opinion and momentum, and it is good for the United States to repeatedly be neutral to the people. And it happens that isolationism is prevalent in the United States.
Naturally, I support this.
Although this time the British attempt to use islands to tie the United States to its side was defeated, Edel knew that the fate of the United States was inevitable. Because after such a period of development of American strength, it was no longer content to just stay in the Americas.
He will definitely reach out to Europe and even the world.
However, currently only a few people feel this trend in the United States, and more people think that the United States will make huge war fortunes like it did during World War I, and will not join the war until the situation becomes clear.
But from the current point of view, the United States will not wait any longer. Because the experience of the last war tells them that if they cannot make enough contributions, it is completely impossible to get the benefits they want. So this time, the United States will take the stage.
Time will definitely not wait for the situation to become clear before making a decision.
And carving up Britain and France with the Axis Powers is not a good choice for the United States, because it will put Europe under Axis rule, and it will create a new powerful enemy for itself (no one in the United States now thinks that the Soviet Union will become a
Countries that are competing against themselves).
Although the United States currently has the largest national power in the world, if the axis integrates the European continent, the United States will not be its opponent.
Therefore, there is actually only one way in front of the United States, which is to help Britain and France in history to defeat the Axis. However, this help requires skills. It needs to wait until Britain and France are seriously weakened, and then the United States comes on the scene as the savior and leads them to defeat the Axis.
, and by the way establish the United States’ world hegemony.
Therefore, support for Britain and France needs to be done skillfully, not too early or too late.
And Edel, who came from a later generation, naturally knew the American mentality very well. There were a lot of people who studied the American World War II policy in later generations, and they made a lot of achievements. They had already thoroughly studied the American psychology at that time. Although due to the long time,
Del couldn't remember the information clearly, but his attitude towards the United States was clear.
Therefore, before the United States comes to an end, he must inflict heavy damage on Britain and France to increase their losses, so that the United States can gain an advantage before the end. But these alone are not enough. Edel is not unclear about the extent of the United States' explosive production capacity. So it is still
He needs to find a strong opponent to distract his energy, which he has been doing.
While Edel was thinking about the consequences of America's fate and countermeasures, an attendant came to report. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has come to come."
"Invite them in."
Following the announcement, Prime Minister Mihalaka came to Eder.
"Your Majesty, this is the plan between our country and Germany and the Soviet Union regarding the division of Polish territory."
Edel took the plan for dividing the territory and read it.
In fact, it was nothing. It was just to confirm the results of the previous negotiations in terms. The Polish territory was divided into three parts. Among them, the Soviet Union obtained the territory of the former Curzon Line, moved the border forward by more than 200 kilometers, and also moved the border area.
The fortress city of Leicester was included.
As for Germany, it acquired the territory west of the Curzon Line in Poland. It not only included the West Prussia region, but also acquired the remaining western Polish territory. In addition, the key city of Warsaw was also included in its bag.
As for Romania, they got Western Galicia, and the gains from Krakow, Kielce, and Lublin also protected Eastern Galicia, where Lviv is located, from possible attacks.
After all, this region is the only heavy industrial area in Romania. It is very important to Romania and cannot be ignored. Currently, Eastern Galicia produces 71% of Romania’s steel, 68% of coal, 41% of petroleum, and 39% of chemical products.
.In addition, the electric power industry, sulfuric acid industry, oil refining industry, military industry, etc. all rank first in Romania.
Eastern Galicia has an embarrassing problem, that is, it is too close to the border. It is only more than 30 kilometers away from Poland, so this is the reason why Eder must take over the southern territory of Poland. The two neighbors around him are too strong.
, Romania must ensure the safety of its heavy industry.
Previously, because of the need to confirm the border lines of all parties and discuss issues such as population, prisoners, refugees, and seizures, the plan has not been implemented. However, although it has not been implemented, the armies of each country have basically returned to their respective areas.
return within the territory to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
Then the three countries discussed these issues, and it was basically easy to talk. However, it was a bit difficult for Luo and the Soviet Union to talk.
Because of the long-standing grievances between the two countries, the two countries have repeatedly discussed and argued about this matter, so the German representative finally made peace.
Although some wrangling occurred, there was generally no problem. After more than a month of negotiations, the final plan was finally reached. The three countries reached a consensus on the above issues, and the next step was for the leaders of each country to sign.
The Romanian part naturally needs to be sent to Edel.
After taking a brief look at the specific plan for carving up Poland, Edel signed his name. This also meant that the Polish matter had come to an end.
After Edel signed his name, he casually asked the Prime Minister another matter. "I heard that the Prime Minister of Yugoslavia visited Germany. I wonder what the outcome of the talks will be?"
Prime Minister Mihalaka answered his question. "Your Majesty, the German side has informed us of the details of the visit. The Yugoslav Prime Minister is seeking to join the Union. However, the German side has rejected their request and told them that they can only solve the problem after
Germany will accept Yugoslavia only after the disputes with Italy and Romania are resolved."
Edel couldn't help laughing after hearing this. "At this time, when seeking to join the alliance, these Yugoslavs are thinking too simply."
Regarding Yugoslavia's visit to Germany, you don't need to think about it to know what it is thinking. It is nothing more than an intention to use the alliance to ensure the integrity of its own territory. I can only say that the idea is very good, but it is too simple to see others, so Germany will not do anything.
He did not hesitate to reject Yugoslavia's request to join the Union.
Because compared with the advantages of inserting Yugoslavia into the axis, the disadvantages are greater, and it is not worth it for Germany to do so.
Now Edel has no time to take care of Yugoslavia, because his current focus is on Crete, which is the last line of defense to prevent Romania from entering the Mediterranean.
