"Am I not good for them, Germany is about to lend them a loan of 300 million marks."

Kaiser Wilhelm II asked Chancellor Bernhard in front of him with an angry face.

The prime minister who was asked actually thought that this was nothing, a country in a hurry to develop industry, who would refuse to give himself a low-interest loan. Between countries, everyone talks about interests, who talks about feelings. Now it's only when the emperor himself doesn't care about his face, he will vent. After all, Wilhelm II had previously asked the General Staff to add the Romanian army to the war plan. I didn't expect something to go wrong, and of course the prime minister wouldn't say what was in his heart.

After thinking about it, Prime Minister Bernhard expressed his opinion. "Your Majesty is not that you are too good to Romania, but that you are too good to them."

After hearing the words of the Prime Minister, Wilhelm II thought to himself that this was indeed the case, and that the Kaiser rarely refused Romania's requests. On the one hand, Eder knew about the Kaiser, (which was necessary for later generations to write about Germany) and on the other hand, it was also related to his knowledge, because he thought that Romania was already a boiled duck that could not fly. Who knew that this situation would be encountered, and as a result, the Kaiser was a little unable to hang up on face.

"Shouldn't we do something about Romania?" Wilhelm II muttered to himself.

The Kaiser's words were heard by Bernhard, and the chancellor hurriedly persuaded the Kaiser. "Your Majesty, after all, Romania is just borrowing, and there is no need for us to have a stiff relationship with them, which is not beneficial to both of us."

Wilhelm II calmed down when he heard the Prime Minister's words, and he knew that he was just angry talking. If he had made small moves against Romania because of the loans from Britain, France, and Russia, then he would not have been the Kaiser who had controlled power in Germany for more than 20 years. After being dissuaded by the Prime Minister, Wilhelm II thought about it carefully, and there was really no way to take Romania for the sake of the overall situation. Finally, he saw the telegram on his desk, and said angrily. "Send a telegram of reproach to the ambassador to Romania asking him what he is doing in Romania."

"Your Majesty, I will ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send this telegram of reproach in a moment."

For the prime minister, it is not a big deal for an ambassador to be scolded, at most it is a change of ambassador, so he agreed very simply.

For the ambassador to Romania, Baslober, this is really bad news. He had worked hard enough, he was just an ambassador and he couldn't control the Romanian government, so how could he be blamed for that. However, looking at the telegram sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Kaiser's rebuke, he didn't dare to defend anything, who made him a small person can only do the blame. However, the news that he was reprimanded by the Kaiser also spread in the embassy, and was heard by people who were interested.

It was not long before Eder received news from the palace that the German ambassador had been reprimanded. He didn't care about the poor ambassador, but was concerned about why the Kaiser would rebuke him.

"This time there is no news from Germany, but it only reprimands the ambassador, indicating that we are still within their tolerance, which is good news for us." Eder, who was sitting in his chair, spoke his judgment to the chief of the guard who delivered the news.

"Your Highness, is this too much of an impact on Romania?" The chief guard asked with some concern.

Calust also asks because Romania now has the largest amount of German investment, accounting for 47% of Romania's foreign investment. Together with the proportion of Austro-Hungarian investment, the allies accounted for two-thirds of the foreign investment in Romania. If Germany had warned with divestment, the Romanian economy would be very uncomfortable and could drag down Romania's momentum for several years.

"Isn't that just the ambassador being reprimanded?" Edel explained to the chief of the guard indifferently.

In Eder's eyes, if necessary, it was necessary to break relations with Germany. Joining the Allies in World War I was not on his radar, and Romania could not change the situation as a decisive force.

Now the Anglo-German naval competition is fierce, and the British Royal Navy has just received parliamentary approval for the budget for the construction of 4 Iron Duke-class "super dreadnoughts" and 1 battle cruiser. Germany immediately followed up and began to build three King-class battleships with a standard displacement of 25,796 tons. According to the current situation, it seems that the trend along the historical trajectory is very large, which makes the crown prince even more afraid to bet on Germany.

While Eder looked at the current situation in Europe from later generations, the prime minister analyzed the situation with previous examples. In the Prime Minister's Office, Prime Minister Bretianu was also in his office to discuss with his cousin that Germany was reacting. Although he was closer to Britain and France, as the prime minister of Romania, his first concern was Romania's interests.

"The fact that Germany did not react to our actions this time shows that it is still within tolerance. However, during this time, try not to ** German emotions, let them think that Romania is like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenager. ”

Wendiler asked suspiciously, when he heard the words of his cousin Blettianu. "But we have just signed a loan agreement with the governments of Britain, France and Russia, can we do that?"

"They are not simple-minded about this loan, and they are doing it for Romania." Prime Minister Brettianu explained to his cousin. Seeing Wendiler, who was still a little unwilling, he continued. "Now the domestic economy needs the help of Germany, and we can't afford to move too much in this period to affect the relationship between the two sides."

"I know this, but the smell of gunpowder over Europe is too strong right now. I'm afraid that Romania will be forced to get involved, and it will be unbearable for the country. Wendyler voiced her concerns.

The current rivalry between the great powers has led most politicians to believe that a major war is inevitable. At present, the military expenditures of the major powers are more than 30% of their fiscal revenues, and Romania's integrated army has not reached the same level as theirs. With such a high level of military spending and rising antagonism among various countries, it is impossible for everyone to wake up without a major war. As a small country, Romania can only be cannon fodder no matter which side it stands on, which is why Wendiler is anxious.

"Wentier, you are in a hurry, although most people in the country have a good opinion of Germany, but the decision is not up to them." Prime Minister Brettianu persuaded his cousin.

Wendyler sighed after hearing his cousin's words. "I hope I'm too careful."

After saying that, Wendil walked out of the room, and saw Bretianu close the door when he saw his cousin leave, and lay on the sofa exhausted. Before he became prime minister, he always thought that this was a position that everyone envied, but after he became prime minister, he found that too many unsatisfactory things were waiting for him.

Thinking back to the post of prime minister now, Bretianu secretly hurts himself. From the beginning of the establishment of the kingdom, when his uncle was the prime minister, the king's decision required the approval of the prime minister, and when he became the prime minister, he still needed the consent of the royal family, which was really aggrieved. In recent years, the royal family has gradually withdrawn power, especially in recent years, the royal family has increased its investment in industry, and now half of the large enterprises in Romania are owned by the royal family. Former Prime Minister Sturl is primarily responsible, and if he hadn't been obedient to the royal family, he wouldn't have been what he is now. Prime Minister Brettianu did not say this hidden thought to anyone, including his cousin Wendil and his own family.
