Chapter 381: Untitled

Eder took the telegram and immediately took a quick look at it. After reading it, he put the telegram away and instructed: "If you don't go to the government, call Calust over." ”

It didn't take long for Calust to arrive.

"Your Majesty, what do you command?"

Looking at Caluster in front of him, Eder's face was a little cloudy. This made the chief of the guard think that he suspected that something had not been done well, which made His Majesty angry.

But fortunately, it didn't make the rough and restless Caluster wait long, and Eder finally spoke. "Immediately send someone to investigate the Poles in the Galician region. I will send Admiral Salamick a secret telegram that he will cooperate with you if the Poles in the region do anything unfavorable. ”

Edel's words made the chief guard feel that everything was serious, and he couldn't help but ask, "What is the standard we can do?"

"There are no restrictions on the standard, as long as these Poles march and demonstrate, they immediately act in accordance with the first-class plan."

Eder's words made Calust's heart tighten, but he knew what the first-level plan represented, it was the first time it had been used in the event of a rebellion.

It should be noted here that after Eder ascended the throne, in order to prevent various contingencies, three levels of contingency plans were set up. The three-level plan is a plan for the outbreak of small-scale popular protests, which will be resolved mainly by the government. The second level of the plan, which is written to break out of mass popular protests, will be dealt with by the government and the military. The first-level plan can only be used when there are hot issues, so that the government's pacification work has been ineffective, and the investigation finds that there are already armed elements in the area. The plan was to cordon off the area to prevent it from spreading, and then the army, with the cooperation of the intelligence services, would eliminate it.

It's just that this time the plan is strange, but it is used on Ukrainian territory, and Kalust has a hazy idea in his heart, but he can't help but say this somewhat bold guess. So he immediately replied, "I'll lead the team myself." ”

"Go ahead."

After seeing off Calust, Eder looked at the map of Galicia and said to himself: "I hope that what I am worried about will not happen, or I will let you know the consequences, Poles." ”

Yes, the telegram that Eder saw was the one sent back by Prime Minister Bretianu that Poland wanted to seize Galicia from Romania.

To Eder, who had already taken the region into his own pocket, the Poles were dying. The fact that the Poles, who had acquired large chunks of territory from Germany and former Russia, would inevitably be hostile to them in the future, had the audacity to provoke Romania can only be said to be completely blinded by greed.

However, the investigation of the Galicia region will take time, and Eder is concerned about Romania's economic recovery, in addition to waiting for the results.

However, Romania is now reversing its current wartime economy, as evidenced by the massive reduction of its military forces and its return to economic development.

However, this will take time, and Romania's gross domestic industrial and agricultural production is not significantly recovered from the effects of the war. It was only 68% of the highest level (before the declaration of war on the Allies), which was also affected by the general mobilization for war.

However, the government is quite indifferent to this, because the development of the newly occupied territories will lead to the recovery of the Romanian economy. And there is another reason that everyone knows by heart, that is, with the disintegration of Austria-Hungary, the defeat of Germany, and the change of color of Russia, there has been a vacuum of interests in Central and Southern Europe and the Balkans, which have been constantly competing for them in the past.

And the strongest country in the region is Romania at the moment. Therefore, the government generally believes that when Britain, France and Italy infiltrate the region, Romania can also get a piece of the pie.

However, as Minister of Industry, Karaturi also pointed out that the Romanian economy is relatively homogeneous at present, mainly based on strong exports of grain and its processing industry, petroleum and chemical industry, and vehicle manufacturing industry. Many other products still need to be imported.

Prior to the territorial expansion of Romania, these industries were able to meet the continued development of the population and economy. But after the great territorial expansion, these industries were somewhat inadequate. At present, Romania needs more other industries to meet the needs of the sustainable population and economy.

According to Romania's latest statistics, the country's total population has grown rapidly from 10.67 million before the war to 18.64 million. The main factors were the seizure of Transylvania by Romania, East Moldavia (which had already voted to join Romania), and Hungarian territories east of the Tissa River and east of Transcarpathia. (Not including Galicia, Odessa, etc., which are still legally part of Ukraine.) )

In fact, these seized territories do not currently belong to Romania in legal terms. However, both the people and the government ignored this, and public opinion also vigorously declared that the region was already part of the new territory of Romania. This can be seen from the impunity of the Romanian soldiers in the expulsion of the Hungarians in the area, who completely ignored the attitude of the Hungarians.

And after this integration of the new territories (which are currently part of the new territories in Eder's mind), the current proportion of ethnic groups in Romania is; 76.2% are Romanians, then 12.6% Hungarians (although the ethnic group is being driven out, so it will decrease); Then there are 4.1% Bulgarians; 3.4% Ukrainians; The rest are Germans, Slovaks, Poles, Jews, Gypsies, etc.

Romania's many actions in these territories show that it must win this territory.

In order to fully develop the new territory and let the people of the region feel the dividends given by Romania, Karaturi also suggested that the government organize geological exploration teams to carry out systematic exploration of the new territory.

In addition, the minerals such as coal, iron, and gold that have been discovered in Transylvania will also be invested in mining. However, the coal and iron in the area are of poor quality and are not suitable for industrial use. But for the sake of the prosperity of the region, Romania still intends to invest in mining, which can be regarded as full of sincerity to the people of Transylvania.

Eder agreed to Karaturi's suggestion. Let him do it, Romania needs someone as talented as him.

In fact, Eder has his eye on Karaturi, who has been active lately. However, he still supports this thoughtful cadre.

There is a need for different voices within the government, and the current Prime Minister Bretianu is too prestigious in the government to be a good thing, and after winning this war, he will benefit the most, except for himself and a limited number of members of the military. And when the war is over, it does require a different voice in the government.

Edel was thinking about the end of the war when an attendant hurried up to him with a telegram.

"Your Majesty, this is a telegram from Budapest."
