Chapter 254: Aftermath
Seeing that everyone was very dull, Li Vov, as the head of government, spoke. "It is impossible to withdraw from the history of the war now, otherwise we will not have the financial resources to repay the loan. Now we can only continue this war in order to keep the government running. ”
As the head of the government, Li Wolf's remarks set the tone of the government, and where would the others below have opinions. On 15 February, the Russian Provisional Government sent a note to Britain and France that, after careful consideration, the Russian Provisional Government would remain in the Entente and continue to fight against the Central Powers. Britain and France, of course, were greatly relieved by the decision of the Russian Provisional Government.
And the German government, which has already seen signs of crumbling in Russia, will certainly not let it settle down. Especially now the army commanders Hindenburg and Ludendorff, who attach more importance to the Eastern Front than the previous German chief of the General Staff. Seeing that the current situation in Russia does not focus on attacking them, it is simply sorry that they attach importance to the Eastern Front, and the German government now sees the dawn of ending the operation on the Eastern Front, and of course will increase its support.
Eder, who had been waiting for news in Romania, also received the news.
"It seems that the coming to power of Red Russia is inevitable."
Edel looked at the message from St. Petersburg and said to himself judgmentally. However, it is a pity that Romania could not intervene in the matter far away in St. Petersburg, so it could only wait for things to develop.
However, just because you can't control St. Petersburg now doesn't mean that you won't have a chance in the future. Edel called in two of his own intelligence chiefs.
"For the Russian side, it will be your main target to infiltrate, especially the Bolshevik party. I will earmark fifteen million lei for your use, and you will have to spend it on this purpose. Don't stop buying materials from Russia, but make it bigger, and buy more as long as those people dare to sell them. ”
Eder's idea was to send men to infiltrate before the Bolsheviks had yet to become bigger. Even if there are a hundred people lurking, one person who can succeed can be regarded as making a lot of money. Because Eder intended not to use these infiltrators in the Bolshevik Party for ten years, he wanted to use these spies who had survived so hard to survive at a critical time. As for the continued purchase of Russian materials, it is also to make the situation more favorable to changes in Romania.
After talking about the main points of intelligence work against Russia, Eder talked about domestic arrangements. "From now on, we need to pay close attention to those left-wing parties, especially those that have a tendency to promote violence."
Eder knew that the left-wing parties in Romania were generally the SPD, and that the party most similar to the soon-to-be-born Red Empire was the Second International Social Democratic Party, founded by Engels. In fact, there are social democratic parties in Romania, but because they are relatively weak, they are not noticed by other parties, but there are also factions lurking here in Carouste.
However, compared to the weakness of left-wing parties, Romania's right-wing parties are much stronger. Because the vigorous development of nationalism has made the ideas of right-wing parties very popular. Now the real headache for Eder in Romanian political parties is the right-wing party, which is constantly worried about the survival of Romanians abroad, and the government needs to rescue these suffering people.
Eder still has a right-wing party for now, and when the initial completion of Greater Romania in his mind, this narrow nationalist view will be abandoned by him. Because Romania was a multi-ethnic country at that time, the national policy as it is now had to be changed, otherwise domestic problems would slow down the pace of social development. As for what kind of national policy it will be at that time, this Edel himself has not thought about it.
Eder would not consider a policy like his own previous life, at most to abandon national prejudices at home and strive for social equality. At any point, people who don't have the ability to do anything about ethnic discrimination, regional discrimination or anything, and they will be discriminated against wherever they go if they don't have the ability.
The two intelligence chiefs went down to do it after receiving Eder's order, and it was up to the two of them to decide what to do.
After seeing the two off, Eder once again recruited the prime minister.
"Have the conditions for us been loosened on the part of the Entente recently?"
Faced with Eder's inquiry, Prime Minister Brettianu replied. "Your Majesty, at present, Britain and France still do not let go."
"Even after the Russian Revolution?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
When Eder heard this, he couldn't help but think, what would make Britain and France still keep their mouths shut after the Russian Revolution, didn't they know the reason for the outbreak of the revolution?
Russia is mostly wasted, the country is in a mess, and the morale and equipment of the army are also very poor, which is completely different from before. Britain and France must have known what was the reason why they did not want Romania to profit too much.
When Edel heard the Prime Minister's words, he walked back and forth. Prime Minister Brettianu watched the king walk back and forth and did not dare to disturb.
As he walked around, Eder remembered that there was still a great power that had not entered the war, and that Britain and France had drawn it into his camp. The United States, the only great power in the Americas and the world's highest GDP. As soon as he thinks of this country, Eder can pick up quite a few titles from his memories of his past life, the hope of humanity, the beacon of civilization, the fighter of freedom, and so on. These many titles are used on a country, and it can be seen that its status can be seen in his previous life, and his motherland has the hope of surpassing this country, but it is only very possible until it is crossed.
Now the United States does not have the prestige of that era, and now Europe is disdainful when it comes to the United States. Except for a few emerging industries and various resources, American goods represent inferior products, which is also the consensus of Europeans now. It is only in the past few years that the war in Europe has allowed the United States to achieve tremendous industrial development, turning it from a debtor country into a bond country in one fell swoop, and Britain and France have supplied it with most of its debt.
In order not to turn its debts into a pile of waste paper, the United States cannot let Britain and France fall. These are the opinions that everyone in Eder agreed on in his previous life, and as for the joke that Mexico wants to invade the United States, it is estimated that even Mexicans do not believe it. Because Mexico hates the United States because of why the United States does not annex Mexico in its entirety.
After Eder cleared his mind, he knew that it must be the United States that decided to enter the country, so that Britain and France did not want to give too many benefits to Romania. And the benefits that Romania has now made Eder feel that it is not worth taking a shot, because Russia's withdrawal from the war will be the most feared thing for Britain and France. At this time, Britain and France will definitely let themselves make a move, and at this time, the price code will definitely suit the needs of Romania.
Eder wondered if he could get enough benefits for Romania in this matter. However, after thinking about it, Eder realized that there was nothing he could do about it with Romania's size.
It seems that we can only wait for news from the United States.
